33: Chapter 33 Ten Tons of Gold
Metal perception is a new use Lu Jinwen developed after awakening her Supernatural Ability.
It allows her to precisely locate and perceive the distribution, quantity, and even the approximate purity of metal.
This also greatly facilitated their operation this time.
Qi Yin nodded and quickly began deployment.
"Very well. Uncle Chen, you take Brother Xu and Yang Zi and be responsible for the perimeter. Brother Xu, your speed is the fastest, so eliminate the patrolmen in the northeast and southwest corners. Do not make any noise."
"Yang Zi, strength is your advantage. After Brother Xu succeeds, immediately head to the northeast corner, follow the route Wenwen mentioned, dig out that backup line, and cut it. But wait for my signal before acting."
The three of them, led by Chen Quan, replied in low voices: "Understood!"
Subsequently, their figures slid down from the rooftop silently like ghosts, blending into the thick night.
Qi Yin looked at Lu Yanxiu again: "Brother Yan Xiu, your task is the most critical. The generator room is in the small hut on the far west side, and there are at least eight guards."
"You need to take control of the machine room at the fastest speed at the same time Yang Zi cuts the backup line. You cannot trigger an alarm; you can create some small accident or something."
The two exchanged a glance, their schemes disappearing into silent tacit understanding.
Lu Yanxiu licked his lips, a spark of excitement flashing in his eyes.
"I guarantee it will look like a natural malfunction."
Afterwards, Qi Yin took Lu Jinwen, and the two slipped into the courtyard to search for the entrance to the secret chamber.
With the division of labor clarified, the operation began.
Qi Yin and Lu Jinwen, like two wisps of light smoke, utilized the shadows and the intervals between patrols to silently vault over the high wall.
Her mental Supernatural Ability spread out like an invisible radar, precisely avoiding moving guards and the blind spots of the surveillance cameras.
Lu Jinwen followed closely behind her, constantly pointing out the locations of nearby firearms and walkie-talkies, allowing them to evade in advance.
The study was on the second floor of the main residence, and it was brightly lit at this moment, adding some difficulty to the operation.
The two climbed up the drainage pipe on the outside of the building, nimbly avoiding windows that could easily expose them.
The study was empty, with only a heavy soundproof door separating the inside from the outside world.
Lu Jinwen pressed her hand against the soundproof door and closed her eyes to perceive.
"This lock is especially complex. It has an electromagnetic lock and mechanical structures I don't recognize, but I can try to see if I can twist the core metal latch."
As she spoke, Lu Jinwen concentrated her energy, and sweat broke out on her forehead.
About thirty seconds later, a faint sound of twisting metal came from inside the door.
Qi Yin and Lu Jinwen smiled at each other.
The door lock opened.
The two high-fived lightly, slipped inside, and closed the door gently.
Once inside, Lu Jinwen immediately pointed to a huge bookshelf.
"Sister, it's right there. It's empty behind it, and the metal reaction is particularly strong."
Qi Yin's gaze swept over the luxurious decorations of the study, and her eyes finally landed on a very inconspicuous, tiny protrusion.
But she did not rashly press it; instead, she looked at Lu Jinwen.
"Wenwen, can you bypass the mechanism and open the secret chamber door directly?"
It was impossible for Huang Fei to set the mechanism for opening the door in such an obvious location. Qi Yin was worried about traps, so it was best to avoid it.
Lu Jinwen turned to place both hands on the bookshelf, her mental energy highly concentrated.
"I'll try first."
The bookshelf as a whole was a metal frame, connected to the secret chamber door behind it.
Lu Jinwen tried to use her Supernatural Ability to influence the thicker door lock mechanism behind it.
But just at this moment, Qi Yin's mental perception caught the sound of hurried footsteps coming from downstairs.
They were rushing toward the study, three people!
Qi Yin's eyes sharpened. "Someone is coming."
"Act!"
The order was issued through the miniature headset!
Almost at the same time, in the northeast corner of the courtyard, Yang Zi, like a giant brute-force bear, thrust his hands violently into the ground and forcibly tore apart the backup cable, which was buried half a meter deep and wrapped in thick rubber. Sparks flashed and vanished.
It was also at this moment that a dull explosion suddenly came from the independent generator room, accompanied by a faint light of fire, and it fell into silence.
Lu Yanxiu had also succeeded.
In an instant, the lights of the entire residence flickered a few times, but they did not go out.
After all, they had cut the backup line.
The lights in the study flickered along with it, which still alerted the people coming upstairs, and the footsteps of the three became heavier.
At this time, Lu Jinwen wiped the sweat from her face: "Done!"
The huge bookshelf let out a low hum and slowly slid to one side.
A heavy door behind it, shimmering with a cold metallic light, was revealed before them; however, the electronic lock on the door had lost its light.
Lu Yanxiu had already cut off the independent power supply system here.
Qi Yin turned toward the study door; the Tang sword had already flashed into her hand from her space at this moment.
"Wenwen, force it open!"
As the words fell, Lu Jinwen pressed both hands on the cold door, her petite body carrying tremendous energy, and she unleashed her Supernatural Ability with full force.
From inside the door came the teeth-grinding sound of metal twisting and breaking.
That metal door, which required a hydraulic device to pull open with great force, was actually forcibly torn apart by her using her Supernatural Ability.
At this moment, the study door was also pushed open from the outside with a violent force, and three bodyguards wearing black security uniforms immediately rushed in.
Seeing the open secret chamber door and Qi Yin, they suddenly realized that their home had been raided.
The bodyguards' expressions changed drastically, and they immediately drew their guns to aim at Qi Yin.
But under the perception of Qi Yin's mental power, their movements were infinitely slowed down.
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
Three ice cones, invisible to the naked eye, pierced precisely into the center of the three bodyguards' foreheads at an astonishing speed.
This was not enough. Qi Yin's figure moved forward like a ghost, her Tang sword dancing in the air, striking the sides of the three men's necks in succession, her movements clean and efficient.
Instantly, the three bodyguards collapsed to the ground without a sound.
Just then, Lu Jinwen called out to her: "Sister, come quickly, it's open!"
The alloy door was completely pushed open, and a small elevator appeared before them.
When the elevator door opened again, even though they were mentally prepared, the sight before them still left them breathless.
In the small underground chamber, standard-sized gold bricks were stacked neatly!
Under the lights, these gold bricks reflected a heavy and alluring golden light.
More than half of the secret chamber was almost filled with gold bricks; a full ten tons of gold, the visual impact was simply shocking.
Lu Jinwen covered her mouth in amazement: "This Huang Fei looks like a clean and honest official; who would have thought he was playing such a big game behind the scenes?"
Qi Yin did not speak, but her eyes held boundless chill.
In troubled times, gold is precious. What exactly is this criminal organization, Sakura Country, plotting?
Qi Yin did not hesitate; she immediately stepped forward and touched the cold gold bricks with her palm.
Her consciousness sank, and in an instant, the mountain of ten tons of gold before her eyes disappeared one after another, being taken into her space.
In just over ten seconds, in the time of a single breath.
The entire room, which had been filled, became empty, and not a trace of the gold's existence could be seen.
"Let's go!"
There is no time to lose; we must leave this place immediately.
The two quickly returned the way they came, and when passing through the study, Qi Yin casually took away the corpses of the three bodyguards!
