Chapter 141: Fearing Punishment, Suicide

Bank.

Li Chunlai was humming a tune in his own office.

Feeling indescribably joyful.

Two days.

120,000 work points.

Not only cleared Bai Tao’s account.

These past few evenings.

Still spending the night at the Fragrant Pavilion.

Several pretty girls are serving.

Li Chunlai thought.

His life has reached its peak.

"Who should accompany me at night."

"Mengmeng, or Yaoyao?"

Thinking of the girls in the Fragrant Pavilion.

Li Chunlai immediately felt restless.

At this moment, a knock on the door sounded.

Someone said, "Manager, you have a guest."

"Who is it?" Li Chunlai said calmly.

"Mr. Tong."

"Shopkeeper Tong?"

Li Chunlai quickly stood up, "Please come in."

The door opened.

The dwarf shopkeeper of the nameless pawnshop entered, accompanied by two men in black.

Li Chunlai’s eyes lit up.

This shopkeeper was his lucky star.

Li Chunlai quickly served tea.

Drank three cups.

Shopkeeper Tong smiled and said, "Mr Li, have you been enjoying yourself these days?"

"Very much so," whispered Li Chunlai, "please take care of me in the future, Shopkeeper Tong."

"No problem, no problem."

Shopkeeper Tong smiled with his eyes almost closed, took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket and placed it on the table, saying, "This is the ‘Longyang Powder’ that my friend managed to obtain."

"After taking it."

"Fighting against seven women in the night would be a piece of cake."

Li Chunlai exclaimed "Oh!" and his eyes sparkled.

"I know Manager Li needs it lately, so I specially brought it for you."

Shopkeeper Tong pushed the small porcelain bottle over.

Li Chunlai chuckled, "How embarrassing."

"Don’t be polite, we are old friends."

Shopkeeper Tong whispered, "By the way, it’s best to take this now."

"Taking a tonic for men at this time has the best effect."

"Really?"

Li Chunlai took it, feeling a bit embarrassed, "Can I try it?"

He poured out the powder, mixed it with water, and drank it.

The taste was neither pleasant nor unpleasant.

Put down the cup.

Li Chunlai wiped his mouth and asked, "Shopkeeper Tong, what exactly is the treasure of Young Master Yang?"

Shopkeeper Tong smiled and said, "Youyin, it’s a precious item. Many important people are eager to have it. That’s why I had to ask Manager Li to inform you today."

"Otherwise, how could the security department stop Young Master Yang in time?"

"Unfortunately, they were planning to silence Young Master Yang and take the treasure."

"Unexpectedly, they ended up being completely defeated."

Li Chunlai’s expression changed.

He never expected to be involved in such a frightening matter.

His legs suddenly felt weak.

Yang Likai realized he had to investigate, he couldn’t let it go.

He quickly stood up, hoping Shopkeeper Tong would protect him.

He didn’t even stand up.

His legs went weak, his head feeling heavy.

He sat down on the ground.

He looked at Shopkeeper Tong, feeling increasingly drowsy.

"You.."

Shopkeeper Tong calmly sipped his tea, "Yes, that wasn’t ‘Dragon Sun Powder’, it was ‘Deadly Dust’."

"Manager Li knew too much."

"The big person above is worried that you may not keep secrets."

"Unfortunately, we can only ask Manager Li to ask you to ‘confess and take responsibility.’"

"Look, I’ve written your farewell letter for you."

"Tong, am I considerate enough?"

Shopkeeper Tong put on gloves, took out a paper bag from his pocket, took out a letter, and placed it in Li Chunlai’s hand.

Tong deliberately had Li Chunlai hold it in his hand to leave fingerprints on the envelope.

Only then did he leave with his two henchmen.

The whole process.

Li Chunlai couldn’t say a word.

He can’t hold on any longer.

He closed his eyes.

Suddenly, it was dark in front of his eyes.

Exploration Legion Headquarters.

Luo Yan saw Di Zheng.

The captain with a stern face said, "Youyin is very valuable, many people in the city are coveting it."

"But there are not many people qualified to bring back Youyin."

"So this time, you were intercepted."

"This kind of thing has happened before."

"But daring to touch the family members of underground city officials."

"This is the first time."

"In my opinion, that bank manager is very suspicious."

"But trying to confront him now, I’m afraid it’s too late."

Luo Yan nodded, "Since they dared to harm Yang Likai, their power must be overwhelming."

"I presume, that bank manager has been silenced."

Di Zheng calmly said, "It’s okay to die."

"Otherwise, investigate further."

"It may not be a good thing."

Luo Yan’s eyes flickered slightly.

Di Zheng did not continue this topic.

Instead, he said, "I will hand Youyin over to Strategy Manor as soon as possible, but it will take some time to distribute contribution points."

"You need to wait patiently."

Luo Yan nodded.

Just then.

Suddenly.

The alarm rang.

Then the phone in front of Di Zheng’s desk rang.

Di Zheng answered the phone, then solemnly turned on the projection screen on the wall.

On the screen, there was a view of the ground.

Beyond the forest in the distance of Great Lake District, dust seemed to be rising.

Di Zheng hung up the phone and said, "A giant beast has been spotted approaching the underground city."

"All team groups should prepare to fight."

"You go report it."

"Yes!" Luo Yan ran out of the office, heading towards his team’s attack point amidst the alarm.

Di Zheng went to the command center.

As he walked, his headset kept buzzing, "Giant beast’s identity confirmed."

"Giant beast codename: Mengji."

"Rank: High-level 2."

"Type: Caterpillar."

"Features: Steel skin, ice control, invisibility, Undead Control!"

"Weakness unknown!"

On the other side.

The attack point of Class Three, Team Four.

When Luo Yan arrived.

Yan Wenbo and others were a bit surprised.

But didn’t say anything.

The pale-faced captain just said, "Please sit down quickly."

"Now we are heading towards the Rapid Strike Atrium."

Then he showed a listening expression.

And then said, "Thankfully, our mission is to guard the rear defense line."

"Today, it is Class Two, Team Three’s turn to be on duty. They will be the first to confront."

Dugu Changxin huffed, "We never get any good luck."

Kang Shun chuckled, "It’s important to protect the backline too."

Yan Wenbo added, "The giant beast that came this time is not simple."

"It’s a high-level giant beast, Mengji."

Dugu Changxin fist-bumped, "It’s exciting to do it this way."

"Every day, we clean up some low-level and middle rank giant beasts."

"It’s not difficult at all."

Liu Yan whispered, "Childish."

Surprisingly, Dugu Changxin didn’t argue.

Very fast.

They arrived at the launch pad.

Climbed into their own mechas.

On the team’s communication channel.

Kang Shun laughed and said, "Little Luo, it’s your first time using the launch pad, isn’t it? In my experience."

"Don’t be nervous, breathe through your mouth."

Luo Yan put on his helmet and responded with a "hmm".

While waiting for their turn at the launch pad.

Luo Yan opened a screen of light.

The screen floating above the command console.

It can be seen.

The different war vehicles, cannons, and missile launchers at the base were already arranged.

And at that moment.

Finally, a grey-white shadow appeared on the screen.

Luo Yan enlarged the image.

He then saw a giant beast that resembled a leopard.

It was entirely grey-white, with emerald green eyes, and black spots on its body.

Those spots were continuously making subtle changes.

As the spots were enlarged, they turned out to be faces, one by one.

However, these faces were pitch black and made all sorts of terrifying expressions continuously.

Looking at the giant beast, white smoke emitted from its body, freezing the ground and trees wherever it passed.

Furthermore, the ground kept bulging as if something underground wanted to come out.
