49: Chapter 49: Divine Eye Old Zhang, Ghost Eye Old Seven 49: Chapter 49: Divine Eye Old Zhang, Ghost Eye Old Seven Every raw stone has flaws. Absolutely flawless raw stones are not non-existent, but they are rare. Ordinary people can’t see through these flaws. But under Lin Xiaosu’s Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye, through these cracks, he still vaguely senses an endless atmosphere. One raw stone, two raw stones, observing the interior through the cracks, he has started to grasp this Skill. And indeed, he saw a few good pieces. Stones ordinary on the outside, yet hiding wonders within. If today he really came to buy raw stones, he could have finished his work, but he’s not! His steps slowly moved towards a direction, a crucial direction. The raw stone in his hands slowly placed down, Lin Xiaosu leaned against the rack in front of him and looked up. “Mr. Li, if you haven’t found satisfactory materials, there are a few more pieces over there that you’ll definitely be pleased with,” Boss Zhang said with a smile, pointing to the left. “I knew Boss Zhang must have hidden the good stuff...” Lin Xiaosu smiled lightly and turned around. As he turned, his fingers seemed to unintentionally touch a spot on the inside of the shelf... At this touch, silently, the shelf in front suddenly split open, revealing a piece of the floor beneath. Boss Zhang’s face drastically changed, and the faces of the three people following him changed simultaneously... Zhou Mei suddenly turned around, Miao Ruolan remained motionless, but her eyes suddenly sharpened. Lin Xiaosu smiled, “So, this is where Boss Zhang hides the good stuff, right?” Walking towards this piece of floor, the floor had a handle. “Mr. Li, there... actually, there’s no good stuff inside, just some scrap,” Boss Zhang’s face once again bloomed with a smile: “Don’t dirty your hands, let’s go over there!” “Boss Zhang is joking!” Lin Xiaosu said: “How could something kept so securely be mere scraps?” He reached out his hand, grabbed the handle, and fiercely lifted it! This iron plate, weighing seventy to eighty pounds, but Lin Xiaosu lifted and flipped it easily, exposing a pile of raw stones. Boss Zhang still wore a smile, but this moment his smile didn’t seem so genuine. The three people beside him looked at each other, uncertain of what to do. Outside in the workshop, dozens of pairs of eyes looked up, their gazes filled with intense unease. But there were no disturbances, everyone seemed to be waiting for the situation to evolve. The hidden chamber was discovered, no one knew whether it was intentional or accidental. The exposed raw stones, no one knew how things would unfold. Lin Xiaosu bent down, picking up a raw stone, his gaze firmly locked onto a nearly invisible crack, which under the Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye seemed magnified millions of times. His heartbeat finally accelerated... Boss Zhang reached out, smiling as he went to retrieve the raw stone: “Mr. Li...” “Sorry, I’m not surnamed Li! My name is Lin Xiaosu, from Fengcheng Detective Agency,” Lin Xiaosu said. His tone suddenly changed, no longer the standard Mandarin, but the local dialect. Boss Zhang jerked in shock. “You probably have another identity, Ghost Eye Old Seven!” Zhou Mei shuddered violently. Boss Zhang still smiled: “I didn’t quite catch what you mean...” Lin Xiaosu said, “No coffin, no tears, common ailment of the people! Today, I’ll let you see your coffin...” Pfft! The raw stone in his hand suddenly split open, and it wasn’t stone inside, but a plastic bag, the bag fell and broke, white powder scattered! Boss Zhang’s face truly changed. Shh! A sharp blade slashed from beside him, lightning-fast stabbing towards Lin Xiaosu’s throat, it was the lean young man who had been following Boss Zhang. All along calm, all along smiling. The smile had stiffened since the discovery of the secret room, and now striking with a blow—both precise and ruthless. At the same time, another person suddenly appeared beside Zhou Mei, also with a sudden appearance of a blade, lunging at Zhou Mei. Outside in the workshop, machines still roared. Under the roar of the machines, this sudden change might also be buried in the noise. The blade was but a foot away from Lin Xiaosu’s throat. Boss Zhang’s smile had become ghastly. Suddenly, Miao Ruolan’s cheongsam split, Boom! The lean young man who had reached Lin Xiaosu’s side was sent flying far back, crashing into the shelves behind. Near Zhou Mei, the blade was only three feet away from her, suddenly, a dark gun barrel aimed at the man’s head... The man froze, Bang! The gunshot! This shot, didn’t hit the head, but the man’s arm! The man dropped the blade. Huff huff huff... Four figures leapt simultaneously, rushing towards Lin Xiaosu. Three of them wielded knives, while one held a steel rebar, clearly improvised. Yet, their attack methods were both precise and ruthless. Miao Ruolan spun her body around, shielding Lin Xiaosu. In a flash, she knocked down the person in front, flung the second person into the air, and as the third person’s rebar came thrusting through, Miao Ruolan raised her delicate hand, grabbed the rebar, and with a slight exertion of force, the skin on that person’s palm tore open. Amidst a scream of agony, she swept the rebar across, striking heavily on his neck, causing his head to tilt and knocking him unconscious. As the fourth man’s dagger was inches away, Miao Ruolan thrust the rebar through his palm, precisely piercing it. The dagger dropped. Before the dagger hit the ground, Miao Ruolan flicked it with her toe, sending it in a graceful arc – whoosh! It lodged into the workshop floor, embedding two inches into the wooden plank! Dozens of workers rushing over suddenly saw such a shimmering dagger and momentarily paused. However, right after, twenty to thirty people pounced all at once. The entire workshop and storage room went into complete chaos. Dozens of workers, transformed into killers, furiously surged towards Lin Xiaosu and two others, knowing that their deepest criminal activities had been exposed. The only solution was to kill them immediately to prevent any leak of information. Murder certainly carried risks, but weighed against the alternatives, it seemed a lighter evil. Killing them could offer a slim chance. Not killing them meant certain death! Unfortunately for them, they were up against non-humans! Zhou Mei had a gun; shots rang out in succession, downing four people. This deterred others from getting any closer. Miao Ruolan didn’t have a gun. People assumed she was an easy target, but once she demonstrated her Ancient Martial skills, she swept through the crowd. No one could withstand even one move from her. Lin Xiaosu? He stood still, not initiating any attacks. Yet, the rocks in his hand kept flying out. Each rock struck with deadly accuracy. Once hit, a person would definitely fall. To the left, a figure suddenly appeared – it was Boss Zhang. He leapt out from behind a shelf, conspicuously armed with a gun! He aimed at Lin Xiaosu and roared, “Die!” Whoosh! A stone flew out! And pierced through Boss Zhang’s right wrist! His gun dropped, that hard-found weapon not even firing once. “Freeze! Hands up!” came a commanding shout from outside. Accompanied by the crisp sound of a gunshot. The whole workshop went as quiet as if a bowl of cold water had been poured into a hot oil pan... Noise erupted after several standoffs and gunshots... Over thirty police officers stormed into the workshop... Miao Ruolan spun around, took down the last person, and faced the stern Captain Zhang. While Zhou Mei, having fired her last bullet, seemed panicked among attackers from the front and back, suddenly, two figures fell down—one in front by Miao Ruolan and the other behind by Captain Zhang. Then, the three converged to the left. There, a man clutched his bleeding right wrist, his face deathly pale – it was Boss Zhang, and under a shelf in front of him lay another gun. “Where’s Lin Xiaosu?” Captain Zhang scanned the surroundings. “Don’t worry, he’s not in danger!” Miao Ruolan said. Captain Zhang nodded and turned to Boss Zhang: “Ghost Eye Old Seven, we finally meet!” Boss Zhang, with messy hair, trembled slightly, his eyes slowly closing. “Talk! Where is your Fengcheng layout data?” said Captain Zhang sternly. “You’ll never get anything from me, never!” Boss Zhang yelled hoarsely... “There’s indeed no need to get it from your mouth!” a voice declared, “I already have it!” Captain Zhang looked up and saw a man in a white suit and light yellow shirt walking elegantly through the cluttered workshop, a red ledger in his hand. Boss Zhang stared dead at the ledger in his hands, his lips quivering... His eyes filled with disbelief. “Don’t forget, I’m a detective!” Lin Xiaosu gently patted his shoulder, “Discovering your secrets wasn’t as hard as you thought!” “Lin... Lin Xiaosu! You’ll pay for this! Our people will kill your whole family!” Boss Zhang snarled, his expression utterly ferocious. Lin Xiaosu smiled faintly: “That’s why I needed to find your ledger, to completely eliminate your people!” He handed over the ledger to Captain Zhang, whose eyes brightened as he examined it... Inside were detailed records of an illicit trade network, the key figures being the Five Tiger Generals... It detailed what was supplied and when, who the suppliers and contacts were... It also included protectors that had been implicated, all the people Wang Donghe had investigated over three years, plus many new names, shocking even to Captain Zhang... This is how underground organizations operate. Breaking through the periphery is fraught with extreme difficulties. Even if peripheral members are found, penetrating the core of the organization remains hard. But breaking from the inside out, starting from the highest levels, is like pouring soup on snow – exposing everything about this criminal organization into the sunlight. Lin Xiaosu and his companions left the jewelry store. All the people in the store huddled with their hands over their heads against the wall, while police sirens continued outside. Nancheng was completely shaken. Even the bridges were congested. Zhou Mei drove the luxurious Soarens Dreamshadow back to the wedding company. After changing clothes, removing disguises, and returning the car, it all cost three thousand eight hundred. And of course, Zhou Mei paid for it, as it was reimbursable.
