In just a few meters of distance, Ye Shikai could hear everything clearly, thanks to his Inner Strength. He thought no one would open the door, but to his surprise, someone did come to open it not long after—moreover, it was a woman.
"Hello, what can I do for you?" the woman asked timidly.
"We've come to read the meter; may we come in?" Two plainclothes policemen held a paper and entered after the woman agreed. However, not long after, the two policemen came out and made eye contact with Ye Shikai and Zhang Ting in the distance—an agreed upon signal that indicated nothing was amiss in the house.
"No abnormalities. Could it be that Xun Long is not inside?" Zhang Ting tugged at Ye Shikai's arm, anxiously speaking.
"Xun Long is extremely cunning. Even if he's in this house, he won't be found so easily," Ye Shikai said gravely, then with a sly look at Zhang Ting, "Looks like we need to put on a show."
"Hey, what are you thinking of doing?" Zhang Ting looked at Ye Shikai warily.
