Although Wu Ge, who was in his early forties, wasn't as agile as he was when he was younger due to his age,

his years of training had already ingrained muscle memory, making him more flexible than many elite bodyguards.

Besides, being in his early forties wasn't old; he was merely in his prime.

At this moment, he was lurking outside the east gate, near some hidden greenery.

Although the night was passable, it was impossible to see the specific details inside the greenery from the outside, making it almost impossible to spot Wu Ge.

This era wasn't like the one filled with surveillance cameras everywhere; a manor like this wouldn't install such expensive and impractical surveillance systems.

In the eyes of many wealthy families, it was better to hire more capable security guards than to spend hundreds of thousands on such an impractical system.

Through the dim night, Wu Ge looked at the time on his watch, barely able to make out that it was 10:58 PM.

His watch's hands didn't have a luminous function.

Because Wu Ge knew that for his job, wearing a watch with a luminous function at night would easily give him away while hiding.

10:58 PM, which meant there were only two minutes left before the small truck arrived.

These wealthy manors usually have very strict management of external vehicles entering, which is probably why the village's family manor restricted the small truck to enter the manor only at this time, to prevent impersonation.

Wu Ge calmly waited.

At 10:59 PM, Wu Ge could faintly hear the sound of a car engine in the distance.

Which meant the small truck was coming soon.

Although he was strong, he was still just one person.

Moreover, the bodyguards in the manor were bound to be armed with guns.

A single mistake could be life-threatening.

Therefore, he chose to sneak in. After observing for the past few days, he had also noticed that the security guards inside were very casual with their inspection of this vehicle, only checking the driver's cab and not even bothering to open the door to check the truck's cargo compartment.

The small truck finally approached.

Wu Ge's position was actually more than ten meters away from the east gate.

Moreover, this road was at a bend, so the security guards at the east gate couldn't see the situation here.

Taking advantage of the small truck slowing down, Wu Ge easily slipped under the truck, using his strong arms to firmly grip the chassis, and his feet found a place to brace.

The car continued to move slowly, eventually stopping in front of the manor's east gate.

The two guards greeted the driver and chatted and joked casually before opening the gate and letting the small truck in.

No one would have imagined that under this small truck, which came every night, there was actually a person hidden!

The manor was very large, and the truck's destination was a warehouse inside the manor.

The warehouse's location was relatively remote and far away. After the small truck entered the manor, the speed was very slow, almost no different from a person's slow jog, taking nearly five minutes to reach its destination.

However, Wu Ge didn't wait for the small truck to reach its destination. Instead, he easily let go halfway, dropped to the ground, and then rolled over to hide in the greenery beside the road.

Even though the manor was quiet, there were still people patrolling with flashlights from time to time.

A beam of light shone on the greenery near Wu Ge. Wu Ge lay motionless under the greenery until the security guard walked away.

According to his observations over the past few days, the security guards would not repeat their patrol on this road within ten minutes.

This also provided Wu Ge with extremely convenient conditions.

After the security guard walked away, Wu Ge quickly arrived at a luxuriously decorated detached house.

This was an extremely traditional Eastern Ying modern building, with a Western style incorporated into the exterior, but a large part still retained the Japanese-style tatami style, and it was only one story high.

This was the residence of Murakou Sayan, the current head of the Murakou family, located in the very center of the entire manor. It was originally the residence of Murakou Dushi. After Murakou Dushi's death, Murakou Sayan, as the new head of the family, moved here, because this was a symbol of the Murakou family's power.

Although the manor wasn't small, the distribution of buildings inside was very simple.

Wu Ge had already mastered the layout of the manor through intelligence data and his observations over the past few days.

The building was brightly lit at this time. Even from the outside, through the white windows, one could still see figures moving inside.

As for how many people there were, Wu Ge couldn't observe for the time being, because he couldn't hear what they were discussing inside.

Obviously, as the highest-status building of the Murakou family, this building had very good soundproofing. They must have put a lot of thought into the soundproofing.

Despite this, this house wasn't actually that big, about the size of two bedrooms and a living room. Apart from the main entrance, the surroundings were surrounded by expensive greenery.

At this time, Wu Ge was hiding in a green belt outside the house. He didn't go close to put his face on the window to observe inside, because in this kind of building, observing from the inside would be more convenient than observing from the outside. If Wu Ge directly observed through the window, he would definitely be discovered by the people inside, and that would be troublesome.

Through the light faintly shining through the window, although Wu Ge didn't know how many people there were inside, there were at least three people, because there were three people moving around, and he certainly couldn't detect those who were sitting still.

But, no matter what, as the current owner of this building, Murakou Sayan was definitely in this house.

For Wu Ge, that was enough!

His goal tonight was mainly Murakou Sayan.

According to his investigation, the most intelligent person in the entire Murakou family was him. Although he was still young, as long as he trained for two more years, Murakou Sayan would definitely be able to manage the entire family well.

As for his two uncles, they were very average in handling matters. Otherwise, Murakou Dushi wouldn't have simply handed over the position of head of the family to his young son.

As a Murakou family with a long heritage, Murakou Dushi also knew that a family head could easily determine the rise and fall of the entire family.

Even if Murakou Sayan was his son, if Murakou Sayan didn't perform well, he wouldn't hand over the family to Murakou Sayan to manage, as it involved the rise and fall of the entire family.
