Inside the room, the eight contract soldiers had long forgotten about their escape plan.

After finishing his breakfast, he lay on the ground, basking in the warm sunshine while chatting and boasting.

This kind of life is so comfortable and peaceful.

Compared to this, their previous lives were like those of dogs.

"The sunshine here reminds me of the beach in Xiaweiyi, so warm and comfortable."

"Yeah, I'm lying on the ground right now, but I feel more comfortable than when I'm sleeping on a big bed in a five-star hotel. It's so strange."

"The magnificent city of Xiadu is truly an amazing place. I wish I could settle down here. I would definitely buy this house."

"How about we settle down in Hualixia after we finish this job?"

"Yeah, I agree. All this fighting and killing is so annoying. It's so much more comfortable to lie down and sunbathe."

Eight contract soldiers, veterans of war, lay on the ground, basking in the sunlight streaming in from the window, completely unconcerned about their appearance.

Standing guard? No way. Standing is never as comfortable as lying down.

Ding ding ding...

At that moment, they seemed to hear three crisp sounds.

Immediately afterwards, they heard the sound of the door being kicked.

"What's that sound? Something's up."

Upon hearing the sound, several people stood up at the same time and looked outside.

Fuck...

We are surrounded.

One of them saw the assault team entering the building downstairs, instinctively pulled out his gun, and fired a shot down below.

boom!

clang!

Ah!

Three sounds in a row: the first was the sound of a gunshot, the second was the sound of a bullet hitting the glass and bouncing off, and the third was the scream of the unlucky guy who was hit by the ricocheting bullet.

"Damn it, I've been shot. There's a group of enemy machine gunners. Everyone, be careful and take cover."

After the unfortunate guy who was shot fell to the ground, he rolled behind the load-bearing wall and shouted.

The other seven people looked at each other, completely bewildered.

Ding ding ding...

"Boss, this looks like bulletproof glass."

The contract soldier who fired the shot knocked on the glass a few times and then said with a bewildered expression.

"I had heard that Huali Xiadu's glass was of good quality. When I failed the Kilis World Record challenge, I thought it was just an advertisement for Huali Xiadu's glass. I didn't expect the reality to be even more terrifying than the legend. Huali Xiadu actually installed bulletproof glass in residential buildings."

"Stop talking nonsense and prepare for battle. The enemy will rush in through the front gate."

Eight contract soldiers drew their weapons, aimed at the gate, and prepared to fight back.

Meanwhile, the assault team arrived at the room door and stuck their weapons to it.

"Prepare!"

"Detonate!"

boom!!!

A loud bang echoed in the corridor.

Both of them experienced tinnitus for a moment.

But whether they were contract soldiers or special squads, they all looked towards the door after the roar.

Huh?

Is the door alright?

The contract soldiers exchanged glances, somewhat bewildered.

On the other side, the special team stared at the door, completely bewildered.

It didn't explode?

Did we use too little explosive?

Feeling embarrassed by being watched, the breaching team immediately spoke up.

"The dosage is absolutely fine; it can even blow through a wall."

"So what's going on now?"

"The explosives might have gotten damp."

"..."

Inside the command vehicle, after the assault team reported this bizarre situation, the bigwigs simultaneously turned to look at Chen Ling.

"Ahem... The weather is so nice today."

What else could Chen Ling say? Could he say that the houses I built were constructed to the standards of defense and weaponry? That would be utter nonsense.

After a while, our commander issued another order.

"Use ten times the explosives, everyone evacuate." The commander refused to believe that they couldn't blow open a door.

Five minutes later, there was another loud bang.

"Reporting to the commander, the door still hasn't been blown open."

"……"commander.

Chen Ling looked up at the sky again. What could he do? He was also desperate.

"Mr. Chen, where did you source the doors and glass for this apartment complex? Could you provide me with their contact information?" the investigator's supervisor asked.

After hearing this, Chen Ling immediately said in his mind, "System, forge a certificate for me."

The next second, Chen Ling received a system notification and immediately calmed down.

“Okay, please write this down. The phone number is…” Chen Ling read out a phone number.

After memorizing the phone number, the head of the investigators got out of the command vehicle and made a call.

"Find out all the people who made this phone number, and then find out the specific details about this window and door factory."

"Yes."

The investigator's boss lit a cigarette outside the car and then received a call back.

"Boss, the person who answered the phone isn't him. The owner of the phone number is dead. The cause of death was a car accident. He owned a special glass window and security door factory, but both factories went bankrupt and were liquidated after the boss died half a month ago. Now, construction has started on that site."

Sure enough, it's the same familiar recipe and the same familiar taste.

"Where is this factory located?" the investigator's leader continued to ask.

"Boss, the factory is located in Liulai Prefecture."

"..."

After a while, the head of the investigation team returned to the command vehicle.

"Mr. Chen, you have a wide network of connections in Liulai Prefecture," the bigwig said with a smile.

"Huh?" Chen Ling looked completely bewildered.

Do I have connections in Liulai Prefecture? I didn't know that.

Chapter 18 Problems that can be solved by picking the lock

For the next half day, our commander used all sorts of methods, even employing a laser cutter.

But the final result made him question the meaning of life.

As night fell, more and more people gathered outside, increasing their pressure.

The head of the investigators sighed helplessly and turned to look at Chen Ling.

"Mr. Chen, you built this residential complex. Do you have any solutions?"

"Well... actually you could find a locksmith to open the door."

Chen Ling had wanted to say this for a long time. He couldn't understand why they had to make such a big fuss over something that could be solved by any locksmith.

"unlock?"

The three bigwigs were dumbfounded after hearing this.

It seems...maybe...it really might work.

Honestly, it's not that big shots don't think of this problem. If they couldn't open their own doors or had lost their keys, the first thing they would think of is unlocking the doors.

The problem is, when faced with a group of contract soldiers, all they can think of is a direct assault.

Now that Chen Ling had pointed it out, the three big shots looked quite grim. How come they hadn't thought of such a simple question before?

Soon, a locksmith arrived at the scene.

"Protect him to unlock the door," the commander ordered the special forces team.

"Yes."

The locksmith arrived at the door, examined the lock, then took out a wire and poked it in a couple of times.
