CHAPTER 355: Infiltration!
Chu Yang took a deep breath, and rainwater immediately poured into his open mouth, but he endured it. Beneath his back, two muscles suddenly contracted, and then the muscles in his hips, thighs, and calves tightened simultaneously, launching him forward.
Chu Yang's body suddenly lay flat, floating up in the rain, resembling a slowly drifting dark cloud, heading toward the rooftop on the other side.
This distance was a full five zhang!
Using this extremely difficult method, Chu Yang was making a desperate attempt! Not a single part of his body moved, and he simply floated over… five zhang!
When he was more than halfway across, he suddenly heard the two people he had seen earlier hurriedly returning.
Chu Yang's heart sank; how could these two bastards come back? He was currently floating silently in the air, and his target was significant. As long as they looked up, they would immediately spot him.
If they really noticed… forget about stealing information; getting away unscathed would be a luxury…
But at this moment, there was no other way; he could only leave his fate to the heavens. He couldn't even increase his speed…
"Something feels off; I said something is wrong..." One of them accurately reached the spot where Chu Yang had just laid and jumped up to look over the wall.
Chu Yang closed his eyes, nearly frightened out of his wits by the person's movement. How did he realize something was wrong?
"What’s wrong?" the other person asked dismissively.
"Earlier, as we walked, the sound of the raindrops was ‘pa pa pa,’ but here it changed to ‘pu pu pu’; that’s not the sound of raindrops hitting the wall..." The person scrutinized the surrounding wall, frowning deeply.
Chu Yang thought to himself that this guy was sharp, and just then, his body finally floated to the edge of the roof, landing silently behind the eaves.
A heart filled with relief; he felt utterly weak. He finally understood that being a thief required extremely strong psychological resilience! That moment almost scared him into a heart attack…
"That’s odd… now it’s back to ‘pa pa pa’..." The tall one stood under the wall, still not looking up, lost in thought.
"What ‘pa pa’ ‘pu pu’… right now all I hear from you is ‘pu pu pu!’" The other person retorted sarcastically.
"Could it be that what I heard earlier was from you?" the tall one asked suspiciously, suddenly realizing, "That’s right, only when raindrops fall on a person's clothes does it make the ‘pu pu pu’ sound; looks like I really mistook you for a spy, ha ha..."
The other person snorted and cursed, "You bastard! You’re the spy..."
The two continued their conversation and walked away.
Chu Yang broke out in a cold sweat. Indeed, the sound of raindrops on clothes was different from that on the tiles; the tiles were hard and smooth, while clothes were soft, making the sounds entirely distinct. If there had been seasoned veterans around, they would have recognized it at once…
If he were caught on top of Diwu Qingrou's study, he would likely have already been surrounded!
But how to solve this problem?
Chu Yang lay back, gritted his teeth, and carefully undid his clothing, silently stripping himself down to just a pair of short pants.
When the heavy raindrops hit his body, the sound finally matched that of the rain hitting the tiles.
However, when Chu King of Hell looked at his naked form, he couldn't help but let out a sigh; damn it, for the sake of some intelligence, he had to run naked…
Moreover, his skin was too pale… far less stealthy than those black clothes.
But there was no other way. He was still on the outskirts; if he wore clothes, he would probably be caught before he could even get inside.
Although his body was pale, being cautious should be fine.
Thinking this, Chu Imperial Seat carefully began to move about, bare-chested, exposing two hairy legs, stealthily creeping over Diwu Qingrou's Prime Minister's Residence…
