Even when passing through that place was a natural course of action, Ye Tiancheng and the little fox remained extremely cautious.
They would only pass through briefly and would not reveal anything out of the ordinary. After all, if anyone were to suddenly become suspicious, the situation would become very disadvantageous for Ye Tiancheng and the little fox. They dared not be careless.
Because they could only pass through for a very short time each trip, the little fox had to try her best to memorize what was set up there each time, committing everything to memory. After leaving the area, when they rested with Ye Tiancheng, they would record what they had remembered during the day and then study it. This meant that Ye Tiancheng and the little fox had to conduct their work multiple times and in stages.
The time spent on each trip was too short, and the amount they could remember was very limited. Furthermore, they had to consider whether any details might have been overlooked. Therefore, even after researching some findings, they needed to cross-reference them multiple times to ensure accuracy before they could truly act.
In this slow and steady manner, Ye Tiancheng and the little fox spent over three months. The last time Ye Tiancheng and the little fox went there to check the situation was for the little fox to verify if she had missed anything. After this, they could basically prepare and plan how to proceed with their actions.
In summary, after more than three months, upon passing through the area again, the little fox finally confirmed that she had not missed any details. Then, they tried their best not to pass through there anymore. This would also preserve them to a greater extent. After all, if they kept going back and forth in that area, they might eventually encounter Gui Hu Azhi.
During this period, they discovered something. Gui Hu Azhi would go to the place where Hou Mingzhu was being held at regular intervals to check on her, for reasons unknown. In any case, he would do so. Therefore, if Ye Tiancheng and the little fox were to frequent that area, it would indeed be quite dangerous, as it would be too easy to attract attention.
After the little fox confirmed she had not missed any details, and having gone through this period, they could basically be certain that the protective arrangements outside the place where Hou Mingzhu was held would not change much. With this, the little fox could confidently research the solution. They needed a foolproof method that would allow them to quickly enter, rescue the person, and then leave.
During this process, when they rescued Hou Mingzhu, they would also have to take Helian Sheng's people with them. Otherwise, if Ye Tiancheng and the little fox simply rescued Hou Mingzhu, given Gui Hu Azhi's concern for Hou Mingzhu, it would likely be discovered very quickly. In such a situation, if the other party investigated, they would probably quickly trace the hidden operatives arranged by Helian Sheng. This would not take long, and the other party would not even have time to escape.
Considering that the other party was helping him and providing such important clues, Ye Tiancheng would certainly consider and think for the other party due to such great kindness and take them along. Ye Tiancheng had also discussed this with the other party. As for the hidden operative arranged by Helian Sheng, his primary duty was to monitor Hou Mingzhu's situation. If Ye Tiancheng rescued Hou Mingzhu, his remaining there would essentially be meaningless, and he was going to leave anyway. Now, Ye Tiancheng was considering him and would take him along, which was naturally a good thing for him. The other party naturally would not refuse. Clearly, people in this line of work knew how risky their actions were. Only by leaving with Ye Tiancheng would his chances of survival be higher. People like them were generally prepared to die. If they died, their masters would arrange for their families to be taken care of. It was for this reason that they were fearless and dared to do anything for their masters.
However, even with that said, in most cases, no one is completely indifferent to their own life. If there is an opportunity to survive, there is no reason to refuse it, is there? Ye Tiancheng had also agreed with the hidden operative that once a reasonable plan was made, he would discuss it with the other party, and then they would all leave together after the rescue. Moreover, when leaving, if there was cooperation from within, it would be smoother for Ye Tiancheng and the others to leave.
The little fox spent another half a month researching and finally found the best method. It was also because the little fox had extraordinary talent in this area that she was able to complete this series of tasks in such a short time. Although the total time spent was about four months, the time they could effectively use was limited each day. And although four months sounds like a lot, considering the complexity of the situation, what the little fox accomplished was truly remarkable.
Just in case, the little fox personally set up and then solved the problem, trying to see if there were any issues with the steps. After checking them one by one and confirming there were no problems, they could then arrange the next step.
To begin the action, it was naturally necessary to understand the whereabouts of Gui Hu Azhi and Su Muxian. This was not too difficult. With the hidden operative, this matter was very easy to resolve. The other party quickly provided a series of itinerary arrangements. Except for some special circumstances, this itinerary was very valuable and meaningful. From a hierarchical perspective and based on past experience, the possibility of accidents was small, and the itinerary was rarely inaccurate. This is because the itineraries of people with identities like Su Muxian were very important and could not be easily delayed. If they had to do so, they would even need to make arrangements in advance; this was not something that could be resolved with a few words. Therefore, even if the final arrangements changed, it would not be a major problem for Ye Tiancheng and the others. They could promptly receive the updated itinerary and adjust some plan details accordingly.
As for Gui Hu Azhi, although his whereabouts were not as stable or strict as Su Muxian's, Gui Hu Azhi did not often leave the Su family. If he did leave, it was usually for something, and he would not return for a short period. Generally, if he went out, it would be for at least a day. Therefore, as long as Ye Tiancheng and the others had a plan, they could act according to Gui Hu Azhi's departure time. As soon as he left, they could start preparing to act.
Soon, they found a very suitable opportunity. One day's itinerary was for Gui Hu Azhi to leave with Su Muxian, and on this occasion, they were leaving together. This meant that their itineraries could be based on Su Muxian's. This was a very suitable time. After Ye Tiancheng and the others learned this news, they planned to act during that period, rescue Hou Mingzhu first, and then immediately leave the Su family. As for other matters, they would be dealt with later.
Once the time was confirmed, Ye Tiancheng and the little fox were ready to act. Before acting, they arranged a time with the hidden operative and asked him to be prepared so that they could leave together. On the appointed day, Gui Hu Azhi and Su Muxian indeed left as scheduled. After they left, Ye Tiancheng and the little fox did not act immediately but waited to ensure they had left far enough and long enough before starting their action. They immediately went to the place where Hou Mingzhu was being held. The little fox was responsible for breaking through the protective measures. After they broke in, they saw Hou Mingzhu lying on the bed, unconscious.
Upon entering, Ye Tiancheng saw Hou Mingzhu lying on the bed and tried to call out to her a few times. Hou Mingzhu did not react. She must have been unconscious for a long time, and perhaps some other conditions were needed for her to wake up. However, for Ye Tiancheng, who possessed both the divine artifact Nuwa Stone and the divine artifact Shennong Cauldron, he was not too worried about not being able to help Hou Mingzhu recover her consciousness after rescuing her. Moreover, Ye Tiancheng still had so many friends and collaborators who could help.
Seeing that Hou Mingzhu could not be woken up, Ye Tiancheng dared not delay. He was mainly worried that once the protective measures were triggered, Gui Hu Azhi would soon sense that something was wrong. Therefore, they had to take Hou Mingzhu away in the shortest possible time. When leaving, Ye Tiancheng and the little fox, as promised, brought the hidden operative with them. They got into the car arranged by the hidden operative, and the car sped towards the headquarters of the Special Operations Team. As for Ye Tiancheng, he took care of Hou Mingzhu and also had Bailong and Qiongqi help. The reason for this was that he was worried that Gui Hu Azhi might have done something to Hou Mingzhu, which would allow Gui Hu Azhi to quickly catch up even if Hou Mingzhu was taken away. To prevent such a situation, Ye Tiancheng needed everyone's help. First, they had to seal off Hou Mingzhu's aura. No matter what arrangements were left on Hou Mingzhu, this would at least prevent other beings from tracking them based on Hou Mingzhu's location. This was considered more thorough. Then, Ye Tiancheng could leave with peace of mind. They dared not delay and drove overnight to the Special Operations Team to pick up Ye Wuji, and to check if anything was placed on Hou Mingzhu for tracking, and to see if Hou Mingzhu could be treated as soon as possible to wake her up. After resolving these issues, Ye Tiancheng could then arrange for Hou Mingzhu to be settled, and only then could Ye Tiancheng go and do his own things with peace of mind.
After Ye Tiancheng rescued Hou Mingzhu and left the Su family, it was not long before Su Muxian and Gui Hu Azhi returned. Clearly, upon the activation and破解 of the restrictions outside the room where Hou Mingzhu was held, Gui Hu Azhi immediately sensed that something was wrong and rushed back, putting aside his affairs.
