Stay away from beasts in the world of Siheyuan

Chapter 455 Chess Pieces

"This... how is it possible! Even if he doesn't pay us tonight, he shouldn't have the guts to default on his payment later, right?" The man called Brother Xu frowned and spoke with suspicion.

At this time, there was only a cold moon hanging high in the night sky. The surroundings were quiet, and only the sound of their conversation broke the silence.

"Haha, who can guarantee that he will come back after delivering the goods this time? What is he still doing in Sijiu City when all the goods have been shipped back to Sakura?" Lao Guai's voice seemed even lower in the cold night, as if it came from the depths of darkness, which made people feel chilly.

Hearing this, the man who spoke first suddenly woke up and shouted angrily: "What a hateful old dog! How dare you deceive us!"

However, at this moment, Lao Guai's deep voice sounded again: "Humph, even if he deceived us, so what? Do you have the courage to rush up and kill him?"

This sentence was like a bucket of cold water poured over their heads, instantly calming down the people who were originally overwhelmed by anger.

Several people turned their heads to look at the old dog who was surrounded by a dozen burly men. They saw a shiny weapon on his waist, which looked even more terrifying under the moonlight.

Faced with such a situation, the few people who were so aggressive just now are now a little afraid to move forward.

After a moment of silence, the man called Brother Xu lowered his voice and asked cautiously, "Then...then what should we do now? We can't just sit there and wait, right?"

Lao Guai took a deep breath and uttered a few words slowly: "There is no solution. Either wait for the right opportunity to secretly attack that old dog; or, we can only watch him walk away in a swagger."

At the end, there seemed to be a hint of sob in his voice, and he sounded full of helplessness and unwillingness.

Before these people could say anything more, Xu Changping keenly caught the sound of slightly heavy footsteps.

The voice came closer and closer, and soon a low and stern rebuke reached his ears through the courtyard wall: "What are you all doing crowded here? Hurry up and get to work."

As the man finished speaking, Xu Changping didn't hear anyone respond. A burst of loose footsteps slowly moved away into the distance.

Obviously, the crowd that had gathered here just now had dispersed. Seeing this, Xu Changping could only crouch quietly in place, thinking quickly about how to deal with it in his mind.

Xu Changping had carefully examined this courtyard on the map before. Its size was beyond imagination. With only the drugs in his hands, it was almost impossible to completely cover the entire courtyard.

However, according to Xu Changping's calculations, these people came to transport goods, and the distance between them should not be far.

Just as Xu Changping was secretly thinking about how to blend into the crowd in the yard without alerting others.

Suddenly, two trucks drove towards the gate of the courtyard. Seeing the trucks parked at the gate waiting for people to open the door and enter, Xu Changping had an idea in his mind.

Since the people in the yard wanted to load the goods, they would eventually gather near the cart, which gave Xu Changping an opportunity.

While the driver parked the truck at the door and waited to enter the yard, Xu Changping took advantage of the blind spot and quietly slid under the car along the shadow on the ground.

Xu Changping, who was crawling under the car, held on to the chassis tightly and slowly drove into the yard with the truck.

After the car came to a steady stop and turned off, he let go of his hands and lay directly on the ground. With the huge body of the car covering him, it was difficult for others to notice his presence.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Changping had an idea and bought an exquisite and powerful slingshot from the system mall.

He skillfully placed the drugs on the slingshot, aimed in all directions, and began to shoot accurately like a sniper. With slight slingshot sounds, the drugs spread all around.

After the surrounding area was covered with drugs, Xu Changping estimated the extent of the drug's evaporation and began to place them under the feet of the people near him. After confirming that the surrounding area was covered with drugs, he lay dormant quietly.

After a period of time, the effect of the drug gradually spread. The people in the yard were unaware of it at first, but gradually, one by one they began to feel dizzy and weak in their limbs.

Before long, they collapsed to the ground one after another and lost consciousness.

At this moment, the yard seemed to have fallen into deathly silence. Only the cold moonlight cast a faint glow like a veil, adding a somewhat eerie atmosphere to the scene.

Seeing that the time had come, Xu Changping quietly came out from his hiding place and crawled out from under the car quietly.

After taking a quick look at the situation in the yard, Xu Changping easily found the old man whom those people called Old Dog.

Xu Changping stood there and waited for a moment. After making sure that there was no one else awake, he walked over to his side.

Xu Changping quickly found a list with the names recorded on it from the old man. After comparing it with the records on the list, Xu Changping quickly found the batch of things that were not on the list.

Perhaps the old man sorted all the things into three boxes in order to make it easier to take them away when he returned to Sakura.

After Xu Changping put all the things in the box into the system space, he immediately filled it with a batch of things that were not of high value even in later generations.

After completing this series of actions, Xu Changping walked back to the old man who was surrounded by the crowd.

Under the cover of night, he took out a thin silver needle from his bosom and skillfully inserted it into the acupuncture point in charge of the old man's memory.

In an instant, the old man's face twitched involuntarily, and his expression looked extremely painful and hideous.

As time passed, Xu Changping slowly retracted the silver needle only after he was sure that the expected effect had been achieved.

After doing all this, Xu Changping took out the antidote for the drug from the system space and shook it under the old man's nose.

As the drug was removed, Xu Changping saw the old man looking at him with cloudy eyes and a silly smile on his face.

In fact, if Xu Changping had not been worried that someone would carefully examine the old man's physical condition afterwards and discover clues, he would have even planned to feed the old man some special drugs that could disrupt his mental state.

After all, this would better cover up what he had just done.

But this is also fine. Xu Changping glanced at him, then found a stone under the dilapidated house and hit it hard on the place where the silver needle had just been inserted.

After doing all this, he knocked the old man unconscious again, put him in a state of hitting the stone ground, and then turned around and left.

As for finding out the culprit behind his frame-up from this old man, Xu Changping no longer had this idea.

Because from the moment he heard those conversations in the corner, Xu Changping knew that these people were chess pieces thrown out.
