Chapter 158 A Room Full of Gold
This is a typical European-style detached villa, standing alone on an island in the middle of Crescent Lake.
The surrounding area was overgrown with weeds, but the path leading to the villa gate was paved with expensive marble and was spotless.
Qi Tongwei carried Ye Cunxin on his back and stepped up the stairs one by one.
The woman on his back was not honest.
Her long, slender legs were tightly wrapped around Qi Tongwei's waist, and with each step, their bodies rubbed against each other without any gap.
One button on Ye Cunxin's white shirt had popped open, leaving the collar wide open.
She was like a beautiful snake, lazily resting on Qi Tongwei's shoulder, her warm breath spraying unreservedly onto his ear and neck.
"This place is nice."
Ye Cunxin breathed into his ear, her voice a little hoarse, "It's much more charming than those old men's courtyard houses in Beijing."
"This is the 'ambiance' built with those 12 billion yuan of poverty alleviation funds."
Qi Tongwei remained expressionless and kicked out.
"boom!"
The heavy mahogany door, frame and all, made a sickening cracking sound as it collapsed inwards.
Dust flew everywhere.
The room was dark, with no lights on.
The air was filled with the scent of expensive sandalwood, mixed with the musty smell of long-abandoned houses, and... a faint, rotten smell of money.
Qi Tongwei lifted Ye Cunxin's plump buttocks with his other hand, bounced her up a bit, and strode over the threshold.
"Get down."
Walking to the center of the living room, Qi Tongwei let go.
Ye Cunxin did not stand up straight immediately, but slowly slid down his body.
That was an extremely provocative pose.
Her full breasts pressed against Qi Tongwei's back, and through the thin fabric, their amazing elasticity and softness felt like a ball of fire, "ironing" him downwards.
Both feet landed on the ground.
Because she had no shoes, she stood on tiptoe, her body weight still resting on Qi Tongwei.
The tight jeans accentuated the waist and hip curves, creating a breathtaking S-shape in the dim light.
The hem of her white shirt had rolled up a corner from the friction, revealing a large expanse of her smooth, firm belly, with her round, adorable navel rising and falling slightly with her breath.
"What's the rush?"
Ye Cunxin reached out and hooked her hand around Qi Tongwei's belt, her fingertips twirling lightly on the metal buckle.
Her peach blossom eyes shone frighteningly bright in the darkness, with lingering redness at the corners of her eyes and brows.
"Zhao Ruilong has already gone in; there's not a soul left here."
She leaned close to Qi Tongwei, her red lips almost touching his chin, "And... my legs are still weak."
"Get down to business."
Qi Tongwei grabbed her mischievous hand; its texture was smooth and soft, like holding a warm piece of jade.
Although he verbally refused, his eyes did not look away.
His gaze fell on her open neckline.
The tattered black lace lingerie could barely conceal her cleavage; the deep cleavage was faintly visible in the shadows, and with each breath, a glimpse of snow-white skin seemed about to leap out.
This allure, this half-concealed charm, is more captivating than nakedness.
"Pretentious."
Ye Cunxin pouted, but wasn't angry. She just deliberately puffed out her chest and turned to walk towards the huge floor-to-ceiling window.
"Click".
She casually pulled open the heavy velvet curtains.
Sunlight streamed in instantly, illuminating the entire hall.
The decor here is extremely luxurious.
The floor was covered with a whole Persian carpet, several abstract paintings that were incomprehensible hung on the wall, and a blue and white porcelain vase that looked priceless stood in the corner.
But the most eye-catching thing is the calligraphy hanging in the center of the living room.
"Tranquility leads to far-reaching goals."
The signature is Zhao Lichun.
"Tranquility leads to far-reaching goals?"
Qi Tongwei sneered, stepped forward, and reached out to touch the frame of the calligraphy.
It feels cool to the touch.
[System notification: High-density metal reaction detected.]
Eagle Vision is now automatically activated.
A faint blue light flashed deep within Qi Tongwei's pupils.
In his view, the seemingly ordinary wall became transparent.
Behind the picture frame, instead of cement, lies a sophisticated hidden door made of alloy.
"It seems that Secretary Zhao's 'far-sightedness' is well hidden."
Qi Tongwei exerted force with his fingers, gripped the edge of the frame, and pulled it downwards sharply.
"Tear!"
The valuable Xuan paper was torn to shreds, revealing the cold coded disk behind it.
"Fingerprint and iris scan?"
Ye Cunxin walked over barefoot, her high heels long since lost.
She stepped onto the soft carpet, and with each step, her long, straight legs revealed perfect muscle lines beneath her jeans.
She stood behind Qi Tongwei, clinging to his back, her chin resting on his shoulder as she looked at the cipher machine.
"I've seen this thing in the old man's study. It's a Swiss military-grade product. Forcibly disassembling it will trigger a self-destruct mechanism."
Ye Cunxin stuck out her tongue and licked her slightly chapped lips. "How about I go and get that good-for-nothing Zhao Ruilong out of the police station?"
"No need."
Qi Tongwei pulled a military dagger from his waist.
This is not an ordinary military dagger, but a "Boundary-Breaking Blade" awarded by the system.
"Zhao Lichun thought that only fingerprints could unlock doors in this world."
Qi Tongwei's eyes were cold. "But he forgot that some things are more effective than fingerprints."
He aimed the tip of his dagger at an inconspicuous gap in the wall bricks next to the cipher disk.
That is the physical circuit hub of the entire security system.
This is the best solution provided by combining master-level layout capabilities with eagle-eye vision.
"puff."
The bayonet pierced the wall as easily as cutting tofu.
Qi Tongwei twisted his wrist and stirred it forcefully.
"Sizzle—"
A sickening crackling sound of electricity rang out, and the red light on the keypad flashed wildly twice before going out completely.
Immediately afterwards, the heavy alloy door emitted a dull thud.
"Crack—Boom!"
The walls slowly slid open to both sides.
A cold wind blew out from inside, carrying the smell of dust and paper.
Ye Cunxin subconsciously shrank her neck and snuggled even closer into Qi Tongwei's arms.
"cold."
She mumbled something in a coquettish tone, wrapping her arms around Qi Tongwei's waist, her full, soft breasts pressing unceremoniously against his arms.
Qi Tongwei didn't say anything, but simply took her hand and pulled her through the door.
The motion sensor lights lit up in rows.
The sight before her made even the eldest daughter of the Ye family, who was used to grand occasions, gasp in surprise.
This is a basement that is at least 200 square meters.
There were no mountains of gold and silver treasures as I had imagined.
There were only rows of neat shelves.
On the shelves, rows and rows of black suitcases were stacked, densely packed, reaching all the way to the ceiling.
"This is……"
Ye Cunxin let go of her hand and walked curiously toward the nearest shelf.
She reached out and opened a box.
"Smack."
The lid popped open.
Bundles of US dollars were neatly stacked inside.
It's so green it's unsettling.
"This box contains one million."
Ye Cunxin casually picked up a bundle and tossed it back into the box like a brick, her eyes full of disdain. "This is so tacky. Is this all Zhao Lichun has in terms of taste?"
Although she complained verbally, her actions were extremely alluring.
She was half-lying on the shelf, her round buttocks, encased in jeans, sticking up high, facing Qi Tongwei.
From behind, the waist-to-hip ratio is simply too perfect to be true.
Especially her white shirt with the buttons undone; as she bent over, a large section of her lower back was exposed, and you could even vaguely see the lace trim of her black underwear.
Qi Tongwei did not look at the money.
His gaze settled on a desk at the deepest part of the basement.
On the table was a computer that had never been connected to the internet, and several thick manila envelopes.
He walked over and picked up the top file.
There was no text on the cover, only a red circle.
turn on.
The first page prominently displays: [Details of Fund Transfer for the Sheep Breeding Base Project in Heishi Township, Yantai City].
Below is a series of shocking numbers.
Funding: 5000 million.
Actual amount received: 20.
Flow of funds: Jingzhou Shanshui Group account -> Hong Kong offshore trust -> Swiss bank.
Qi Tongwei's finger joints were somewhat white.
He turned the page.
[Repair funds for the 1,000-meter cliff road in Yanshan County].
Funding: 3 million.
Actual amount received: 0.
Note: A low-interest loan of 5 million yuan was applied for from the Provincial Development Bank in the name of this project, and has been transferred.
"brute."
Qi Tongwei squeezed out two words through gritted teeth.
These are not just cold, hard numbers.
This is the fate of the elderly people in Heishi Township who eat Guanyin clay.
It was the blood of the little girl who fell down the rope ladder.
It is the wealth and glory that Zhao Lichun and his gang built upon countless corpses.
"Did you find it?"
Ye Cunxin's voice came from behind.
She had unknowingly dropped the US dollars and walked barefoot behind Qi Tongwei.
She glanced at the file, and her eyes turned cold.
"That old bastard deserves to die ten thousand times over."
Ye Cunxin stretched out her arms and wrapped them around Qi Tongwei's neck from behind.
She could feel the suppressed anger and tense muscles in the man's body.
"Calm down."
Her voice became soft and alluring, and her warm lips pressed against Qi Tongwei's ear, giving it a gentle kiss.
"It's not worth getting sick over such scum."
Ye Cunxin's hand slowly slid down Qi Tongwei's hard pectoral muscles, her fingertips carrying an electric current, provocatively wandering between the grooves of his abdominal muscles.
"Now that we have the evidence, are we done with our mission?"
She turned around and plopped down on the large mahogany desk.
That was a big move.
She had the file pressed under her body.
She spread her long, slender legs apart and wrapped them around Qi Tongwei's waist.
This pose is extremely ambiguous.
Qi Tongwei was forced to take a step forward, and the two bodies pressed tightly together.
Ye Cunxin tilted her head slightly, her peach blossom eyes shimmering like water, as if they could suck one's soul in.
She placed her hands on the table, leaned back, and her snow-white breasts were displayed even more brazenly.
That tattered lace lingerie looked like it could break at any moment.
"Director Qi..."
She lifted one foot, her bare sole landing on Qi Tongwei's thigh, her toes nimbly climbing up the seam of his trousers.
"There are only the two of us here."
"Nobody outside knows we're here."
"This 12 billion is now our burial offering."
Her voice carried a hint of morbid excitement, "Making love in your enemy's vault, don't you think...it's incredibly exciting?"
Qi Tongwei looked at her.
He looked at the woman who had just been shouting about killing him, but now she was like a wildcat in heat, setting him on fire.
That stark contrast, combined with the oppressive and dangerous surroundings, can indeed ignite a man's most primal destructive urges.
He reached out and grabbed Ye Cunxin's slender ankle.
My palms are burning hot.
"Do you know you're playing with fire?"
Qi Tongwei's voice was hoarse, with a metallic quality.
"I am fire."
Ye Cunxin giggled and wrapped her body around him like a snake.
She suddenly sat up, cupped Qi Tongwei's face in her hands, and pressed her rosy lips against his without warning.
This was a kiss filled with the smell of blood and gunpowder.
Her tongue was agile and domineering, frantically demanding more.
Qi Tongwei did not push him away.
His hand slid down her smooth calf, past her knee, and to the firm, elastic base of her thigh.
That was a powerful kind of beauty.
"hiss……"
Ye Cunxin let out a muffled groan, and her whole body went limp.
Just as Qi Tongwei was about to go further and completely tear that annoying white shirt to shreds.
"Ring ring ring—!"
A piercing telephone ring suddenly shattered the deathly silence of the basement.
It's not a cell phone.
The sound came from the corner of the desk, from a red landline phone covered with a dust cloth.
That's a dedicated, secure phone line.
Only a very small number of people in the inner circle know the number.
The air froze instantly.
All ambiguity receded like the tide at that moment.
Ye Cunxin froze, the alluring look in her eyes instantly turning into a wary killing intent.
She jumped off Qi Tongwei and straightened her disheveled clothes, though they didn't cover much at all.
"Isn't this old man faking his death?"
Ye Cunxin stared at the phone, then sneered, "What, your life savings have been touched? Did it come back to life?"
Qi Tongwei took a deep breath to calm the restless blood in his body.
He reached out and lifted the dust cover.
It was an old-fashioned red rotary telephone.
The ringing continued, echoing in the empty basement with a sense of urgent urgency.
Qi Tongwei picked up the receiver.
He didn't rush to speak, but simply held the glass quietly to his ear.
There was complete silence on the other end of the line.
All that could be heard were heavy, muffled breaths.
That was the unique breathing sound of an old person nearing the end of their life.
A full ten seconds passed.
Finally, an aged voice, still carrying the authority of a superior, came from the other side.
"Tongwei."
That was Zhao Lichun's voice.
He was so calm, as if he were having a casual chat, that you couldn't tell he was in the eye of the storm.
"That was money left for Ruilong to save his life."
"If you take it, I'll truly be childless."
A cruel smile curled at the corner of Qi Tongwei's lips.
He looked at the wall of US dollars in front of him, and then at the blood-stained ledger that was pressed under Ye Cunxin's buttocks.
"Secretary Zhao."
Qi Tongwei's voice echoed in the basement, chillingly cold.
"From the moment you reach out your hand for poverty alleviation funds."
"The Zhao family line has already ended."
"besides."
Qi Tongwei paused, glancing at Ye Cunxin beside him, who was twirling her hair with her fingers and looking on with amusement.
"The water in Crescent Lake is too cold; I'm afraid your old bones can't handle it."
Done.
"Click".
Qi Tongwei hung up the phone immediately.
next second.
He turned around abruptly, grabbed Ye Cunxin, and shielded her behind him.
[System Alert: High-energy heat source detected!]
Location: Load-bearing column in the basement!
[Countdown: 30 seconds!]
"That old dog Zhao Lichun is going to blow up the lake!"
Qi Tongwei roared, picked up Ye Cunxin, and rushed outside.
This seemingly sturdy underground vault was not used to hide money at all.
This is a tomb.
Since Zhao Lichun dared to call, it means he had already pressed the button to destroy.
If you can't have it, destroy it.
This is the real Zhao Lichun!
"Boom!"
The ground beneath my feet began to tremble violently, and a muffled explosion came from above.
That was the sound of the dam at Crescent Lake being blasted by a controlled explosion.
In those thirty seconds, millions of tons of lake water are pouring down on this isolated island!
