The man in the suit seemed oblivious to the strangeness of the pattern, his expression growing increasingly cold.

"Chen Yun, don't try anything funny, my patience is running out."

"What are you doing?"

Chen Yun turned around and casually retorted, a hint of exaggerated helplessness on his face.

"This place is so old it could be considered an antique, so it's normal for things to be buried deep, right? Besides, I'm starting to doubt that I've remembered the place correctly."

The man in the suit frowned, a disdainful sneer appearing at the corner of his mouth:

"If you've got the place wrong, you'd better pray you get out of here alive."

Chen Yun didn't reply to him again and continued searching.

He lowered his eyes, his movements appearing completely casual.

In fact, every touch of the hand is like calculating time, subtly delaying.

He pressed his ear against the silent space inside the room, trying to catch any possible changes in sound outside.

His tricks wouldn't last long; his only hope lay in his allies responding to his coded message as soon as possible.

The cold wind was blowing outside, and the atmosphere inside felt as oppressive as a string about to snap.

Chen Yun's eyes twitched slightly. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the two black-clad bodyguards shifting their stance impatiently.

Upon seeing this, the man in the suit felt an even deeper disgust in his eyes.

He glanced at his watch hastily and spoke coldly:

"I'll give you ten more minutes. If you can't find it, don't blame me..."

Before he could finish speaking, a deep engine sound came from outside the door, getting closer and closer.

A loud roar followed.

"What's that sound?" The man in the suit was startled and immediately looked at the bodyguard standing by the door.

He didn't rush to give orders, but instead frowned and waited.

Chen Yun's movements paused almost imperceptibly; he seemed to subconsciously straighten his back.

He feigned surprise and listened intently to conceal the undercurrent of anticipation within him.

He prayed frantically in his heart that reinforcements were coming, but outwardly, he frowned and muttered to himself:

"There are still people in this godforsaken place?"

The man in the suit clearly ignored his meddlesome remarks.

The sound of an engine outside the door grew clearer and clearer, followed by...

The bright light from the car headlights streamed in through the mottled windowpane.

For a moment, a hint of wariness flashed in the man's eyes, and he raised his hand to signal the bodyguard behind him to come closer.

Chen Yun silently counted the rhythm in his mind, his fingers fastening on his cuffs as if to calm his tense emotions.

"Go take a look," the man in the suit ordered his bodyguard in a low voice.

Two bodyguards quickly pushed open the door and went out.

Taking the opportunity, Chen Yun straightened the small item in his hand one last time, then looked up towards the doorway:

"What's going on? Where did this car come from?"

The man in the suit gave him a cold glance but did not answer.

His attention was completely drawn to the commotion outside the door.

But Chen Yun's heart was filled with a wave that had not yet subsided—his intuition told him that reinforcements might have already arrived.

Sure enough, the footsteps that followed gradually quickened, growing louder as they approached, and finally culminated in a low command:

"Get under control immediately!"

The next second, the door was suddenly pushed open, and under the dim light, several men in bulletproof vests filed in.

Their movements were swift and efficient; one of them even kept his gun held extremely low, clearly indicating he was well-trained.

"who?"

The man in the suit reacted very quickly; he immediately lost focus and took a step back.

He made a gesture, and the remaining men quickly drew their guns to retaliate, but the subdued men reacted even faster.

"Drop your weapons! Cover your head with your hands!"

The man in the lead shouted, his voice carrying a resounding and intimidating force.

He stepped into the room, the muzzle of his gun steadily pointed in the direction of the man in the suit.

"Wow, this is like a living Buddha falling from the courtyard!"

Chen Yun smiled seemingly easily, but the subtle complexity in his eyes did not escape the eyes of the man in the suit.

His face turned pale and then red, clearly not expecting Chen Yun to pull off such a sneaky maneuver.

After a few rounds, the situation was quickly brought under control by the subdued man.

The leader walked up to Chen Yun and said in a low voice, "Mr. Chen, it's us."

These four light, airy words reached my ears.

He hadn't completely relaxed, but he had already slowed his pace—though his face remained somewhat impassive.

He nodded: "Nice to meet you. It seems you arrived just in time."

The uniformed men moved swiftly, like a pack of well-trained cheetahs.

They quickly tackled the man in the suit and his bodyguards to the ground, pressing the cold muzzle of a gun against the back of their heads.

The disarming and handcuffing were carried out in one smooth motion, the whole process was clean and efficient, without any unnecessary delays.

Chen Yun stood to the side, his hands in his pockets, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips.

"Mr. Chen, it's a pleasure to meet you."

The uniformed man at the head of the group walked up to Chen Yun and saluted.

"I am the captain of this operation. You can call me Captain Li."

"Captain Li, thank you for your hard work," Chen Yun replied casually.

Team Leader Li gave Chen Yun a detailed report on the operation and revealed the key source of information for the rescue.

Chen Yun's mole within the group of men in suits.

It turns out that Chen Yun had already foreseen the potential dangers long before he was taken into custody.

They set up the trap in advance, just waiting to catch the fish in the jar.

"Mr. Chen, your informant has done a great job," Captain Li exclaimed sincerely.

"If he hadn't delivered the intelligence in time, we probably wouldn't have been able to rescue you so easily."

Chen Yun simply smiled and didn't say anything more.

As the uniformed men thoroughly cleaned up the scene, they discovered a batch of hidden documents and equipment.

These items are clearly related to the illegal activities of the man in the suit.

This also provided important clues for Chen Yun's next plan.

"It seems we've had quite a haul this time."

Chen Yun casually glanced at the documents.

His gaze lingered on a file for a moment, silently memorizing its contents.

“We will take these things back and study them carefully. I believe we can uncover more valuable information,” Captain Li said.

On the way away from the scene, the convoy remained highly vigilant, and the atmosphere was tense and oppressive.

Chen Yun sat in the car, seemingly calmly gazing out the window.

"Captain Li, I think we might be being watched," Chen Yun said to Captain Li in a low voice. "I suggest we change our route."

"It seems they haven't given up," Chen Yun said.

"We must proceed with the next steps as soon as possible."

He made a request to Captain Li: "I need to contact someone, someone who is crucial to the next steps of the plan."

After a brief hesitation, Captain Li finally agreed to Chen Yun's request.

Inside the safe house, Chen Yun dialed an encrypted phone number.

"Hello, it's me." Chen Yun's voice was low and calm. "I need your help."

A hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone: "What is it?"

"I need you to help me investigate someone, a very dangerous person."

"His name is..."
