At this point, neither side dared to make a sound, but after observing for a while, they realized something was amiss. Since neither side wanted to make a sound, neither side was an armed force. Continuing in this state of inaction wasn't sustainable, so both sides tacitly reached an agreement to remain silent and quietly search for supplies.

Once the supplies were found, the question became how to distribute them. Finally, someone found a can of food. However, just as he was overjoyed and preparing to claim it for himself, someone else spotted him. A silent struggle erupted instantly; their eyes met, and a tense atmosphere filled the air.

In this tense moment, a resourceful young man suggested cutting the can in half so that everyone could get some food. This suggestion was accepted by both sides, and the tense situation was eased.

Just as they were distributing the canned goods, a burst of gunfire suddenly rang out outside. The unexpected turn of events shattered the temporary calm, and everyone's nerves tightened once more. They didn't know what had happened, but their instincts told them they had to get out of there as soon as possible.

At this point, Cheng Ying's side was also puzzled. Who fired the shot? They would never be so foolish as to warn the other side at such a crucial moment that someone was coming and let these people escape. Cheng Ying thought to herself, "It seems there are still spies from either side who haven't been captured. They received a tip and sent this warning!"

However, Cheng Ying and his men weren't bothered by Zhang Liang's clever plan; they had their own countermeasures. Cheng Ying, positioned above, saw both sides within the barrier, which effectively bound them together, making escape impossible. Once the enemy was immobilized, he said to his soldiers, "Comrades, catch these little rats! Tie them all up! They're immobilized now!"

When the soldiers heard that Cheng Ying had immobilized these people, they trusted her abilities completely, so they all came out from their hiding places to get ropes and tie up the dozens of people one by one.

The two groups of people who were already bound stared wide-eyed in disbelief. They couldn't move at all. What kind of magical power was this? Who did this? Did the other side have some new weapon, or did they use poison?

And only then did they realize they'd been tricked! Just as they tied the men up, the agents outside, perhaps not seeing anyone emerge, began firing warning shots to create chaos. Cheng Ying immediately said, "You few watch them, the rest of you come with me to catch that agent. We can't let a single rat escape. Oh, and collect all their belongings, just in case they cause trouble later." The other comrades immediately replied, "Yes, sir!" The few chosen stayed behind, while the others followed Cheng Ying outside.

Cheng Ying was worried that they might have knives or something on them, which could cause them to cut the ropes and escape! At this moment, the patrol team outside had already begun searching for the spy. Cheng Ying waved her hand, instructing a few people to guard the gate, while the rest joined the search for the spy.

Cheng Ying went even further, finding a spot to jump onto the wall, then climbing onto the roof. From there, he took out binoculars and looked around, figuring that the spy inside wouldn't go too far until he came out.

Sure enough, several figures were spotted hiding in a dark corner not far away. However, two more people were also seen in another dark spot. It seemed there wasn't just one group outside; there must be someone outside coordinating with those inside. At that moment, Cheng Ying used spatial abilities to make herself invisible. Then, she slowly approached the group. Assessing the situation, Cheng Ying decided to deal with the two outside first, and then handle the others.

Thinking this, she was already close enough to see the two people whispering to each other. Hearing them speaking Japanese again, she decided to ignore them for now and knock them out first. Cheng Ying silently created a barrier around them, then knocked them unconscious from behind the neck. Just in case, she gave each of them a sleeping pill. Once they took the pill, they wouldn't wake up for at least 24 hours without an antidote. This would make it easier for Cheng Ying to deal with the other group!

After dealing with those two, Cheng Ying, in stealth mode, went to the other group. As soon as she approached, she overheard their conversation. One of the men, a large one and a small one, said, "What do we do, boss? They haven't come out yet. We heard gunfire earlier, and things are chaotic now. It'll be difficult for them to get out. Should we go and meet them now?"

The short guy stroked his chin and thought for a moment. "The main problem is that we don't know what the situation is inside yet. If we rush over, we'll end up fighting with the armed forces." At this moment, the others also became anxious. "What should we do? What should we do? Should we go or not? Say something!" Cheng Ying thought to herself, "These are the only ones who are impatient. Only the short guy is still calm. It seems that he'll have to be the one to come up with the idea."
