505: Good means

At the same time, Li Shiya made a similar gesture, signaling Second Brother to open the window.

Both sides began to act simultaneously.

Meanwhile, the conversation between Li Shiya and Xiang Haitian continued.

Li Shiya said, "That day, I felt something was off about you. You were being secretive, and you even talked about wanting to see the treasure. I don't think you're a good person."

Xiang Haitian was noncommittal: "It's truly a decline in public morals when someone slanders a good person."

At this point, Li Shiya had walked to the door, his hand on the doorknob, ready to close the door at any moment and shut Xiang Haitian out.

But just then, Xiang Haitian suddenly said, "Surrender. We've surrounded this place. I think someone like you should be very clear about the consequences of resisting arrest violently."

Hearing this, the expressions of Third Brother and Fourth Brother changed.

They had no idea that Xiang Haitian was lying, and Li Shiya's fingers also paused noticeably.

But he still spoke forcefully: "What are you talking about? Who exactly are you? Telling me to surrender? We are all good citizens. You only surrender if you've committed a crime, right?"

Xiang Haitian sneered inwardly, this Li Shiya was still too inexperienced.

If he were a normal person, upon hearing Xiang Haitian's words, he would surely be filled with shame and indignation and chase him away.

But just as Xiang Haitian was about to say something more, a huge force suddenly came from the door he was leaning on with his right hand!

Bang!

"Ah!"

Li Shiya suddenly exerted force and slammed the door shut!

Although Xiang Haitian reacted quickly and pulled his hand back swiftly, his fingers were still caught!

Bruised blood immediately seeped from under his fingernails!

"Xiao Wang, Xiao Zhang! Chase!"

Xiang Haitian yelled out in pain, then immediately ordered his two subordinates.

His fingers were connected to his heart; the intense pain made cold sweat break out on his forehead, and for a moment, he couldn't move.

But he still gritted his teeth and looked to the other side, trying to find the man and woman who were the two servers just now; they had to open the locked private room door as quickly as possible!

But upon looking, Xiang Haitian was stunned again.

Only the cart was next to him; the people were gone!

"Damn it!"

Xiang Haitian keenly realized that the two servers were also problematic, but at this moment, he couldn't worry about that much.

He endured the pain, stood up, and kicked the door fiercely!

Bang!

The door lock and the door frame were directly kicked open!

But by then, the room was empty, and the window was wide open.

He gritted his teeth and chased after them directly.

...

Zhang Xiaxia and Jiang Si had already left the hotel.

While Xiang Haitian and Li Shiya were confronting each other, Jiang Si had already contacted Xiao Bao and An Ning.

"Those tomb raiders must have run away!"

"Stop them! Get the stuff back!"

As they ran, they threw the server uniforms they were wearing into a trash can by the roadside.

With things developing to this point, Jiang Si had figured out Mr. Wang's plan.

Her brows were tightly furrowed, but Jiang Si was very clear about another point: they ultimately had to get the Gǔ Zūn Dǐng to gain the initiative!

To stay in the game, this was the last resort!

In the parking lot, the figures carrying travel bags were very conspicuous, and next to their car, people were also popping up to surround them.

In this situation, the four people scattered and fled in different directions!

Jiang Si gritted her teeth and edited a text message on her phone: "They've scattered. One of the packages with a red sticker has been confirmed. As for the other three targets, one person per target, chase!"

After making the arrangements, Jiang Si exchanged a look with Zhang Xiaxia, and the two quickly split up, each pursuing a different tomb raider.

Jiang Si closely pursued Director Li Shiya, while Zhang Xiaxia targeted Second Brother.

The travel bag in Third Brother's hand had a red sticker on it, and An Ning and Xiao Bao were responsible for pursuing Fourth Brother.

...

Although Xiang Haitian wanted to chase, the severe pain in his fingers made it difficult for him to continue tracking.

However, he had already contacted the nearby Municipal Bureau branch office, and people would come to block the intersections. Trying to escape on foot was simply wishful thinking.

Even if he couldn't pursue them himself, the two disappeared servers were also his targets.

He immediately contacted the Officer Si guarding outside: "Chase them! It's the two servers we just saw!"

"Don't listen to their explanations, arrest them directly!"

...

The chase began.

Jiang Si was alone, and she was pursuing the leader of the tomb raiders.

Jiang Si knew she was at a disadvantage in both speed and strength.

In this situation, Jiang Si knew she could only rely on strategy.

Moreover, if she chased directly, it would be easy to be discovered, leading to unnecessary complications.

She observed the direction Li Shiya was fleeing and quickly chose a shortcut.

"Since you can't retreat, then as long as you keep moving forward, I will definitely intercept you ahead..."

Jiang Si made up her mind and immediately darted into a side path.

She still had the fake Gǔ Zūn Dǐng in her bag at this moment.

The method Mr. Wang mentioned appeared word for word in her mind.

Soon, Jiang Si successfully intercepted Li Shiya by taking the shortcut.

She walked towards the direction Li Shiya was coming from.

Although there were other pedestrians on the road, Jiang Si's heart rate gradually accelerated.

She knew Li Shiya was carrying a knife; once he discovered her, her life would be seriously threatened!

Even so, she maintained a calm expression on her face, like an ordinary passerby walking towards Li Shiya.

Li Shiya's pace was hurried, and he frequently looked back, not noticing the person walking towards him.

As he walked quickly, he suddenly felt as if he had tripped over something.

His eyes widened in surprise, and his body leaned forward.

In his line of sight, a black shadow flew by...

Crash!

The sound of something shattering echoed in his ears...

Li Shiya staggered a few steps before steadying himself, looking at the ceramic shards all over the ground in front of him, his mind blank!

"Damn it!!"

He yelled in anger.

That feeling of unwillingness and helplessness filled his heart; he never expected something like this to happen at this time!

Although there were four packages, the genuine Gǔ Zūn Dǐng had always been in his hands!

Passing pedestrians cast strange glances...

Although he didn't care about what others thought at the moment, the sound of police sirens had already started.

"Goddamn it!"

"Goddamn it!!"

His heart was full of anger, but he didn't dare to stay long.

Once caught, everything would be over.

He gritted his teeth, his eyes red, but he could only hurry away, leaving behind a ground full of ceramic shards worth ten million.

...

The four people scattered and fled, and Xiang Haitian couldn't manage them all.

Moreover, the other party seemed to have already planned their escape routes, making it impossible for Xiao Zhang and Xiao Wang to track them.

When Xiang Haitian received the news that they had lost the trail, he angrily punched the door frame.

But no matter what, the transaction was not successful.

As long as the transaction hasn't happened, they still have a chance.

Furthermore, this meeting also exposed new clues; that villager is indeed a tomb raider, and his identity information will surely be revealed.

He immediately took out his phone and sent a text message: "Artifacts have been taken away. Conduct a full check of surveillance footage, don't miss any details!"

Then, he called the Captain of the Criminal Investigation Team of the Municipal Bureau branch office.

This operation was poorly prepared; although they confronted the criminals head-on, they ultimately allowed them to escape.

After making some calls, Xiang Haitian looked at the text message on his phone, filled with surprise.

"These two groups clearly didn't know I would come..."

"Then who sent this message?"

"Did this group of tomb raiders come here to eat?"

These questions lingered in his mind.

"Could it be that there was a dispute within their group?"

"Could it be that someone wants to keep it all to themselves?"

This guess is indeed possible. Most people involved in illegal activities don't care about personal relationships; they only value monetary gain and don't care much about so-called camaraderie.

For money, they would do anything.

...

The group of four tomb raiders also gathered at the meeting point.

They all looked somewhat disheveled, especially Fourth Brother, who was soaking wet and smelled of something sour.

Third Brother glanced at him and asked gloomily, "Fourth Brother, what happened to you? Did you fall into a cesspool?"

Fourth Brother answered while retching, "Don't even ask... The Municipal Bureau guy was chasing too closely, so I hid in a manhole."

"Goddamn it..."

"Ugh..."

Second Brother was more observant. He noticed that Li Shiya's face looked very bad, so he asked, "Director, what's wrong?"

After asking, his expression suddenly changed: "You..."

Third Brother and Fourth Brother heard the sound and immediately looked over as well.

Their faces also turned gloomy.

Fourth Brother couldn't even bother retching anymore. He asked grimly, "You... you lost the stuff?"

None of them were easy to deal with. At this moment, the 2.5 million that was about to be in their hands was gone just like that. This was a heavy blow to anyone.

And when Li Shiya heard this, his face became even uglier.

"Damn it!"

"What if I lost it? This was my idea in the first place!"

Second Brother asked at this point, "How did you lose it? Where did you lose it?"

"We have to find it! Otherwise, if the stuff is gone, we'll still be arrested!"

"That Municipal Bureau guy has already seen us!"

Li Shiya gritted his teeth; he was also very panicked.

He was indeed ruthless, but the so-called brotherhood among these four might be thinner than paper.

If he just said he lost it, perhaps no one would believe him... Instead, it might bring him a deadly disaster.

He could only reluctantly say, "I was walking too fast, and I tripped..."

"Then the thing flew out and shattered!"

"Damn it..."

Hearing his words, the other three were stunned.

Their eyes gradually became fierce.

Just then, Li Shiya's phone rang. He took out his phone in astonishment.

President Wang sent a text message: "Where are you? They say something just happened here? Are you guys okay?"

Seeing this text message, Li Shiya suddenly felt a surge of ruthlessness again.

He said, "Although the treasure is broken, isn't there still this fat sheep?"

"We can still get rich!"

Li Shiya had no idea that all of this... was arranged by "President Wang" Su Yue.

Li Shiya's wishful thinking was loud and clear, but he didn't know that the so-called "President Wang" was actually Su Yue.

He was completely unaware that he had already fallen into a trap.

"This President Wang is also very wealthy. If we take him down, we'll have other opportunities to get rich!"

Hearing his words, Third Brother's eyes changed.

Third Brother spoke at this moment, "Director, don't forget the premise of us targeting that President Wang. Now that the ten million is gone, what's the point of killing someone just to get a hundred thousand or two hundred thousand?"

"If President Wang is really that rich, would he go to the village to sell fake goods?"

"Don't be ridiculous."

Third Brother's words seemed to remind Fourth Brother. He was drenched, and the sour smell emanating from him was almost suffocating.

Thinking that everything he had just gone through was for a fake item, he found it even harder to accept.

Fourth Brother also said, "Splitting twenty or thirty thousand each to live out the rest of our lives? Don't be ridiculous."

"I'm not getting involved in this killing business."

Hearing the two of them say this, Li Shiya's fingers, which were editing the text message, stopped.

He narrowed his eyes and said, "What do you mean?"

"You want to back out now? Don't forget, if something really happens, no one can escape responsibility!"

"Are your brains made of wood?"

Third Brother directly retorted, "Who knows about the people we killed before? In the deep mountains and old forests, what difference does it make if we killed them?"

"Now you want to kill someone in the city. You might earn this money, but you probably won't live to spend it."

"If you want to do it, do it yourself. Fourth Brother, let's go."

He immediately wanted to break up the group.

Although this small group only had four people in total, there was still factionalism.

Third Brother and Fourth Brother had a better relationship. At this moment, when Third Brother said he was leaving, Fourth Brother followed suit without a second thought.

And Li Shiya understood this principle very well; if it were him, he would make the same choice.

Although it was understandable, it didn't mean it could be allowed.

For a moment, the anger of betrayal surged into his heart, and he impulsively drew his knife and walked forward.

However, he was stopped.

The one who stopped him was Second Brother.

At this moment, Second Brother said, "Third Brother, wait."

Hearing this, Third Brother and Fourth Brother stopped and turned their heads, looking at him with some confusion.

The four of them stood by the roadside. Second Brother's voice wasn't loud, but at this moment, he said, "The four of us, either we all wash our hands of this, or... someone won't see tomorrow's sun. I think you should understand this point."

Hearing Second Brother's words, although Third Brother didn't react much, Fourth Brother's body visibly stiffened.

Second Brother continued grimly, "If you want to leave, then no matter where that so-called President Wang is, I will definitely kill you."

"You two know too much, and your brains aren't good, making it too easy for you to be caught and then turn us in."

"..."

After he finished speaking, the atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

Even though they were brothers, they didn't trust each other much.

Third Brother had his hands in his pockets, standing about five meters away from Director and Second Brother. He asked with a very serious expression, "What do you mean by this?"

"We're brothers, do you think the two of us would expose our business?"

Second Brother smiled sinisterly: "Brothers?"

"What a good 'brothers'."

"If you don't get caught, I'll tentatively believe your words, but if you do get caught, facing a reduced sentence, I wonder if you'll speak or not?"

"If Third Brother and Fourth Brother are caught together, then it will depend on who speaks first to get a reduced sentence."

Third Brother's expression froze. On this issue, the answer is actually always constant.

Whether he admits it or not, no matter what he thinks in his heart, as long as he is alive, he will ultimately be suspected.

Third Brother gritted his teeth, thought for a moment, and said, "How do you know I'll be caught?"
