With a single threat, the guard walked to the door, opened it slightly, and peeked through the crack at the opposite room.
Seeing everything inside, his face took on an ambiguous expression, and he instinctively licked his lips with his tongue.
On the carpet, Gan Tang lifted his eyes to glance at the peeking guard. He quietly got up from the carpet, tiptoed to the window, carefully lifted the curtain, and peeked outside.
Outside the door was a secluded alley, devoid of any human presence.
Turning his face to look at the guard who was still engrossed in peeking through the door crack, he quickly climbed onto the window sill and carefully opened the window latch.
Squeak!
The old window emitted a sharp noise.
