266: Chapter 266 Five Hundred Yuan Each

"..." Silence, endless silence.

People around them looked like they had something to say but stopped themselves. They really wanted to say that Lin Xiao's routine looked exactly like that of the Old Daoist Priest.

But looking at the director, who was on the verge of danger, they really couldn't bring themselves to say it.

The director certainly felt Lin Xiao was like a con artist too.

But what other choice did he have now besides trusting Lin Xiao?

He gritted his teeth and nodded, saying, "Fine, as long as you can save me, five hundred thousand it is!"

Lin Xiao raised his hand.

The director seemed to see what Lin Xiao was thinking and roared heartbreakingly, "I don't dare to move right now! I won't cheat you! With so many people as witnesses, I will definitely give you the money!"

"Fine." Lin Xiao pursed his lips and walked toward the director.

He grabbed the lid of the box with one hand and said indifferently, "Alright, you can go now."

"Huh?" The director was stunned, not knowing what Lin Xiao meant by that.

"I said, you can go now! Aren't you scared? Why aren't you leaving when I told you to?" Lin Xiao said crossly.

"I, I don't dare!" The director was a bit broken down.

Actually, besides not daring to in his heart, his body was also having some trouble.

Due to extreme fright, his whole body was stiff.

Especially his arms, they weren't something he could just move whenever he wanted.

"Sigh, what a hassle." Lin Xiao was impatient and kicked the director directly on his butt.

The director rolled to the side, but his arm remained stiffly raised.

Seeing this, others immediately stepped forward to help him up.

When they finally helped the director to the side, they looked up and were completely terrified.

Because they saw that Lin Xiao had actually dug out several identical boxes with the shovel again.

And he very smoothly opened all the boxes!

"Since they're already uncovered, I might as well open them all." Lin Xiao muttered, checking the situation around him.

Inside these boxes, there were actually all kinds of weapons.

Various old-model guns, artillery shells...

The people present couldn't help but step back a few more paces.

The Old Daoist Priest was also stunned by this scene.

Because his hands and feet were tied, he could only keep wiggling backward, just like a caterpillar.

Apart from Lin Xiao, no one else dared to take another step closer.

Just like that, they endured until the police arrived.

"What's going on?" The police initially thought it was a scam.

After parking, they wanted to make routine inquiries.

But when they saw those boxes, they were also stunned.

"M-military ordnance?" This was a major case!

They were just ordinary police officers from a local station; how could they handle this?

They immediately reported it and had the people from the Municipal Bureau come to check the situation.

Just like that, the police also retreated quite a distance, waiting for reinforcements with the Film Crew.

Fortunately, the efficiency over at the Municipal Bureau was very high.

Upon hearing it was related to military ordnance, they rushed over without delay.

The Old Daoist Priest was taken away by the local police, while the people from the Municipal Bureau stayed to investigate.

The Film Crew was undoubtedly left behind as well.

When asked how these things were dug up, everyone's gaze turned to Lin Xiao simultaneously.

Lin Xiao didn't hide anything and honestly recounted what had just happened.

The leading officer's surname was Qin.

After listening to Lin Xiao's description, he seemed to think of something, "Wait a second, what did you just say your name was?"

"Lin Xiao." Lin Xiao repeated.

Officer Qin pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked up, "Ah? Could you be that, that..."

"Yes, that's the one." Lin Xiao really didn't want to hear about his various deeds again, so he admitted it without hesitation.

"That explains it!" Officer Qin looked like he understood.

He smiled and patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder, "Hey, I've often heard Old Zhang and Old Zhao mention you; seeing you really is better than hearing about you!"

For a moment, Lin Xiao couldn't tell if Officer Qin was genuinely happy or being sarcastic.

But it didn't matter anymore. His reputation was already like that.

At this moment, the Young Police Officer in charge of counting walked up to report the situation.

"There are a total of twenty Mauser C96 pistols, ten Browning pistols, eight Zhongzheng rifles, thirty stick grenades..."

"So many?" Officer Qin's expression turned serious as he listened to the report.

"Don't worry, sir, the grenades have all been checked and will not explode." The Young Police Officer wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Officer Qin nodded silently and turned to look at Lin Xiao, "Lin Xiao, you have performed a meritorious service in discovering this military ordnance; the team can reward you for it."

Lin Xiao sighed lightly, "You aren't going to just fob me off with another silk banner, are you?"

"That won't happen." Officer Qin laughed, "For every piece here, we'll give you a reward of five hundred yuan. How about that?"

"Five hundred?" Lin Xiao looked at those boxes, his eyes gradually brightening.

So the real windfall was here!

Officer Qin was a bit puzzled.

Based on his understanding, Lin Xiao was the young master of the Lin family.

A reward of five hundred per piece was not a small amount for an ordinary person.

But for a young master like this, it shouldn't be anything at all.

Was there a need to be so excited?

Before he could ask, Lin Xiao trotted to the side and picked up the shovel again.

With hands on his hips, he said to Officer Qin, "Since that's the case, I'll have to trouble you all to stay here a little longer."

As he spoke, he went to the other side and continued digging!
