The other thug who had been silent suddenly spoke up, cowering, "Bro, calm down, it's the takeout I ordered!"
The knife was swiftly removed from Shen Lan's neck, and a figure quickly kicked the thug who had ordered the takeout, "Fuck you, do you even know what we do? How dare you order takeout? Do you realize we could be found out because of this?"
"We're in a residential building, and ordering takeout is pretty normal for residents. Besides, we've been working non-stop since last night, we're almost starving."
The gang leader didn't seem interested in continuing the discussion with his underling, and after shooting him a scornful look, went to the door. After he saw through the peephole that it was indeed a man in delivery uniform, he finally relaxed and opened the door.
But as soon as the door swung open, a team of five or six armed police officers sprang from around the corner, their dark gun barrels aimed squarely at the thugs' temples.
