After warning Shen Rouxi and her men, Li moved to the porch door and positioned himself where he could see the driveway gates without exposing his position.
His men followed without needing direction, spreading to windows on either side with rifles ready but not raised.
The house behind him was quiet, and he couldn't help but narrow his eyes in annoyance. He was willing to bet that Rouxi would make her way up here and help, but the fact that Meilan was simply upstairs in bed was making him frustrated.
The tree line was visible through the gap between two of the military vehicles that he had brought and left on the front line. They wouldn't act as any type of barrier, and for just a moment, he wished that he had fixed the gate two days ago along with everything else.
