However, an inopportune phone ringtone shattered the tense moment.
The team captain took out his phone to look, immediately turning away to cover the receiver and answer, "Guard Bureau, your orders."
"I... I am indeed at the He Family's place."
"Alright, alright, Guard Bureau, understood, I'll return right away."
The few brief words of the squad leader revealed his humility and panic.
After the call ended, the squad leader looked angrily at someone in the crowd, "Second Great-Uncle He, why did you call the police without following proper procedures?"
Second Great-Uncle was visibly surprised, hurriedly stepping forward to the squad leader and saying in a lowered voice, "Vice Captain, didn't we agree..."
"Second Great-Uncle He, words must not be spoken lightly." The squad leader frowned with displeasure and waved his hand to order the squad to retreat.
