Gao Yang and his team were headed to a location two streets away. On a normal day, it would have only taken about half an hour to walk there, but because they needed to approach secretly, it took them nearly two hours to arrive. Fortunately, the streetlights had long been extinguished, offering them the protection of darkness.
They reached their destination around two o'clock in the morning. When they were able to see the large building occupied by Sharim's armed faction from a distance, Gao Yang and his companions halted.
The area they were in was an affluent neighborhood, and their target building was not in the local style but was instead a typical European courtyard. The house was a bungalow yet quite grand, and together with the size of the yard, the property spanned at least three or four thousand square meters. The key issue was the large open space between the house and the surrounding wall, which made it very difficult for Gao Yang and his team to approach silently.
