Stay away from beasts in the world of Siheyuan

Chapter 509 Catch

The night was as dark as ink, gradually becoming thicker and thicker. The courtyard was shrouded in deep darkness, and everything was silent, as if the whole world had fallen into a deep sleep.

Xu Changping was leaning lazily on the mahogany couch under the window. On his right hand side was a teacup emitting curling hot steam. The green tea leaves in the cup were stretching and tumbling in the hot water, like dancing fairies.

His left hand was gently flipping through a yellowed ancient book. The stale scent emanating from the pages mixed with the fragrance of tea, permeating the air.

Although it was getting late at night, Xu Changping knew in his heart that what happened tonight was far from as simple as it seemed.

Although the mysterious person who had been following them secretly left halfway, the strange feeling they felt when they went to pick up Xiao Mi should have come from him.

Since the other party knows their home address, he will definitely not give up tonight.

Time passed by minute by minute, as silently as the sand in an hourglass. At this moment, the originally calm atmosphere suddenly had a barely perceptible ripple. Xu Changping's keen intuition caught a hint of strange smell coming from the yard.

A sharp light flashed in his eyes for a moment, and his whole body's spirit seemed to be ignited, and he sat up straight at once.

He gently put down the book in his hand, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then began to carefully observe the movements in the yard in the cold moonlight.

Sure enough, in a corner of the yard, a dark figure was slowly poking its head out from the corner of the wall, like a ghost in the night, cautiously peeking at the surrounding environment.

Seeing this black shadow, Xu Changping's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile, and he murmured softly: "Finally, I can't hold it back anymore!"

However, what surprised him was that the black shadow did not move towards Yang Xiaoyue's house as he expected, but instead approached the door of the room where he was step by step.

Xu Changping pondered in his heart, wondering what this person was intending to do, but he still sat on the couch as steady as a rock, waiting quietly, wanting to see what the black shadow would do next.

Xu Changping had a faint smile on his face, his eyes fixed on the approaching black shadow, secretly guessing the other party's identity and intentions.

As the shadow got closer, Xu Changping was finally able to see the other person's face clearly.

This is a middle-aged man who looks to be in his forties. His face is slightly weathered and there is a very obvious scar on his forehead.

When the other party walked to the door, due to the angle, Xu Changping could no longer observe his movements through the window.

However, not long after, a strange smell that was almost imperceptible and neither fragrant nor pungent slowly drifted into the room.

Xu Changping's heart suddenly tightened - it was a drug!

Almost at the moment he smelled the scent, he reacted quickly and took out an exquisite porcelain bottle from the system space at an extremely fast speed.

He pulled out the stopper from the porcelain bottle without hesitation, and then put the bottle mouth close to his nose.

The moment the porcelain bottle touched his nose, Xu Changping felt a cool air rushing into his body through his nasal cavity, instantly dispelling the effect of the drug that had just invaded his body.

After removing the threat of the drug, Xu Changping did not take action immediately, but waited quietly for the other party to come to him.

Before Xu Changping and others could wait long, a slight and subtle sound came from the door. It should be the sound of someone fiddling with the locked door.

At this time, Xu Changping still remained motionless, like a cheetah lurking in the dark, quietly waiting for the best time to attack.

The other party's lock-picking skills were quite good. Not long after, Xu Changping heard a slight "click" and the door was successfully opened.

As the footsteps became clearer and closer, Xu Changping instantly turned over and stood up, then sat firmly on the couch with an extremely heroic and dignified posture.

His sharp eyes were like a hawk in the dark night, staring at the door.

At this moment, the dark shadow quietly flashed into the bedroom.

The other person was obviously not familiar with this bedroom and was carefully groping for the light switch in the room with his hands in the dark.

However, just as the black shadow's hand was about to touch the switch, he suddenly seemed to feel something, and his whole body shook violently!

How come this guy wasn't charmed, but just sat there peacefully!

In an instant, a low growl was heard from the black shadow, and then it pounced towards Xu Changping without hesitation.

Faced with this sudden attack, Xu Changping remained calm. He just flashed slightly and easily avoided the fierce attack of the black shadow like a ghost.

At the same time, Xu Changping's right hand stretched out as fast as lightning, accurately grabbing the wrist of the black shadow who was trying to attack him.

The black shadow whose wrist was grabbed naturally refused to give up. He struggled desperately for several times, but soon discovered to his horror that no matter how hard he tried, he could not break free from Xu Changping's iron-like grip.

So, the black shadow made up his mind, raised his foot and kicked Xu Changping hard.

However, Xu Changping's reaction speed was extremely fast. He just slightly turned his body and easily dodged the black shadow's kick again.

Not only that, taking advantage of the black shadow's unstable center of gravity, Xu Changping twisted the black shadow's arm with force. The black shadow groaned "ah", obviously in pain.

"Tell me, who sent you here?" Xu Changping's low and majestic voice suddenly sounded and echoed in the quiet bedroom.

However, in response to Xu Changping's questioning, the black shadow simply snorted coldly, still keeping his lips tightly closed, and refused to answer a word.

Not only that, the black shadow suddenly opened its mouth, and a cold light shot out from its mouth - it was actually a tiny poisonous needle that shot straight towards Xu Changping's face.

When Xu Changping saw the other party open his mouth, he was on guard. He stretched out his left index finger and flicked it lightly. A powerful force whizzed out and hit the poison needle accurately, knocking it flying.

"If you don't accept my toast, you will be punished!" Xu Changping shouted angrily, and the strength in his hands suddenly increased.

However, at this moment, something unexpected happened - the black shadow's body seemed to have no bones, and it instantly broke free from Xu Changping's strong grip in an extremely strange posture.

This sudden change shocked Xu Changping's heart. Without time to think, he immediately flew forward and reached out to grab the black shadow again.

The black shadow seized this opportunity and rushed towards the door like a flash of black lightning, obviously wanting to take the opportunity to escape.

How could Xu Changping let him escape so easily!

In a flash, he picked up the cup he had just used to drink tea from and threw it out without hesitation.

There was a dull "bang" sound, and the teacup hit the black shadow's knee squarely. The black shadow was caught off guard and stumbled to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Xu Changping quickly stepped forward, firmly grasped the opponent's arm with his backhand, and with lightning speed, he pressed one knee against the opponent's back.

In this way, the black shadow was pinned to the ground and could no longer move at all.
