On the other side, Jiang Xiao and Shi Shi encountered the same problem.

Smoke slowly filled the room, Jiang Xiao and Shi Shi's eyes met in the haze, and as if they had an unspoken understanding, they both smiled slightly.

Shi Shi gently moved her body to make herself more comfortable on the bed.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of excitement was evident in the smile on her lips.

Jiang Xiao gently waved his hand, signaling his daughter not to get too excited.

Both of them knew that smoke like this was hardly a concern for them.

Their bodies had long been honed through countless exercises and battles, practically making them real-life superhumans.

They had a high resistance to such drugs and could drink it like sweet water.

The room door slowly opened, a shadow flashed, and several figures sneaked in stealthily.

Just like the process on Niu Jieshi's side, their movements were gentle and cautious, clearly intending to complete their task without alerting the "sleeping" people.

Jiang Xiao and Shi Shi remained in their sleeping positions, but their minds were racing.

They knew that these people's intentions were certainly not simple; what their purpose was and what would happen next was something they would have to unravel themselves.

Shi Shi felt someone approaching her, gently shaking her shoulder as if to confirm she was truly asleep.

Her body had no reaction whatsoever, as if she was truly in a deep slumber.

The person outside seemed satisfied with Shi Shi's "sleeping" state, then turned to Jiang Xiao.

They tested him in the same way, and Jiang Xiao also had no reaction.

After confirming that both seemed "dead asleep," the shadows began to act.

They first carefully lifted Shi Shi, then turned to Jiang Xiao.

The two were gently carried out of the room, moving silently along the corridor.

Passing through several corridors the three hadn't walked before, they were eventually taken to a new area.

The decor here was vastly different from what was previously seen, giving a feeling of oppression and unease.

They were placed on two separate beds, and the shadows started whispering to each other.

Jiang Xiao and Shi Shi exchanged a glance, a playful glint flashing in their eyes.

It seemed the more people came, the more interesting it was~

.....

Niu Jieshi waited a while longer, but nobody came to deal with him.

Just when he thought these people had forgotten about him, there came footsteps at the door, and two people in guard uniforms entered.

Their footsteps were steady and strong, clearly indicating they were specially trained.

Niu Jieshi felt a bit uneasy, but he maintained his previous posture without any change.

He knew that every small movement now might expose him.

The guards stopped beside the bed, not immediately taking action but standing there observing for a while.

They seemed to be confirming something. Then, one of them walked to the head of the bed and tapped on the metal piece there, making a crisp sound.

"Alright, buddy, no need to pretend."

One of the guards said, with a hint of mockery in his tone.

?

Niu Jieshi didn't move, pretending these guys were trying to trick him.

Unexpectedly, since Niu Jieshi didn't speak, these two didn't take any further action and just leaned against Niu Jieshi's bedside.

It seemed that if Niu Jieshi didn't speak, they wouldn't make a move.

Eventually, Niu Jieshi confirmed that he had indeed been seen through.

"How did you know I wasn't unconscious?"

Niu Jieshi asked tentatively, trying to make his voice sound somewhat blurry and confused.

"Oh? Tsk, nice, playing along with the act, trying to pretend with that groggy voice like you just woke up, huh?"

The other guard chuckled, seemingly mocking Niu Jieshi's cleverness.

Niu Jieshi felt a tightness in his heart.

What's going on? Did these people know all along that he wasn't asleep?

His mind raced through various possibilities, trying to piece together the logic behind all of this.

"What do you mean?"

Niu Jieshi asked, feigning confusion, his eyes filled with bewilderment.

"What do we mean? Oh, you'll understand soon enough."

The guard who spoke earlier replied, a smug smile on his lips.

Niu Jieshi noticed that although the guards' movements were professional, their eyes didn't convey pure ruthlessness,

but rather a sense of playfulness and anticipation. This made him even more uneasy, but he knew it wasn't time to reveal himself yet.

The guards began to meticulously search Niu Jieshi's body, turning every pocket inside out, even taking off his shoes to check.

They even used a small scanner to scan up and down Niu Jieshi's body, seemingly searching for some special signal or item.

Finally, after a thorough search, the guards confirmed that Niu Jieshi wasn't carrying any weapons or items threatening them.

"Alright, stop pretending, we know you're unconventional, how could a Knockout Drug work on you?"

This time the guard's words were straightforward without any indirectness.

Niu Jieshi's heart skipped a beat, he hadn't expected his identity to be uncovered so quickly.

He quickly swallowed a gulp of saliva but still maintained a confused look, trying to hide his shock.

"Unconventional? I don't know what you're talking about."

Niu Jieshi tried to make his voice sound innocent and confused.

But the guards clearly had no intention of continuing the charade.

One of them stepped closer, his voice low and cold.

"Stop wasting time, our patience is limited, and we already know about your special abilities and your purpose at this place."

Niu Jieshi realized that continuing to pretend was now meaningless; they obviously had enough information.

His brow furrowed slightly, then he slowly sat up, abandoning his previous sleeping act, intending to take action directly.

"Looks like I did underestimate you guys."

Niu Jieshi's tone carried a hint of admiration but was more nonchalant.

After all, these humans, even all together, weren't enough for him to crush with one hand!

"Since you know my identity, what do you plan to do?"

Niu Jieshi asked, his gaze firmly locking onto the guards standing before him.

"What to do?"

The two guards looked at Niu Jieshi with a kind of pitiful gaze.

"Big brother, you don't really think that smoke was just Knockout Drug, do you? Alright, I'll admit there were Knockout Drug ingredients in it, but that was just to make you lower your guard."

Lower his guard?

So that means, the smoke contained more than just Knockout Drug?

Niu Jieshi frowned, and at the same time, an eerie sixth sense sent him a feeling of extreme danger.
