Wilderness Romance!

After a brief moment of panic, Jin Guisheng regained his calm demeanor.

All these assets combined are only a few tens of millions. So what if Luo Sanpao knew?

Everyone knows he loves collecting antiques and calligraphy. At worst, he can say he made money by picking up bargains. Anyway, the loan company has the ledgers, so Luo Sanpao can't find any flaws.

Besides, that's ten million. He usually has to haggle with the restaurant owner even when he goes out to eat a bowl of noodles. How could he possibly give that to Lu Pingchuan?

"Ha ha ha ha......"

Jin Guisheng laughed loudly and threw Lu Pingchuan's file back at him: "You, surnamed Lu, thinking you can threaten me with this? You're being far too naive!"

"If you're so capable, give these things to Brother Pao right now. I, Jin Guisheng, have a clear conscience and nothing to fear."

"Is that so?" Lu Pingchuan smiled mysteriously, reminding him, "Boss Jin, ten million can solve this now, but if we wait any longer, it won't be that price. Are you sure you've thought it through?"

"Tch." Jin Guisheng sneered: "Lu, bring on whatever tricks you have up your sleeve. Don't even think about taking a single coin from me, let alone ten million."

"Okay." Lu Pingchuan patted Jin Guisheng on the shoulder and said meaningfully, "Boss Jin, don't be in a hurry. I have a big gift for you. Let's talk after you see it."

Jin Guisheng looked mocking, thinking that Lu Pingchuan had run out of tricks and could not produce any real incriminating evidence against him.

The atmosphere inside the private room was tense and turbulent. Meanwhile, deep in the old city, night fell over an old residential area.

The four brothers that Dafei had chosen had already quietly arrived at the perimeter of the target house.

The houses in this area were built a long time ago, with mottled and rusty exterior walls, looking dilapidated from a distance. The alleyways are narrow and winding, and the streetlights flicker, so few people usually come near them.

The group split up, with one guarding downstairs, one guarding upstairs, and the remaining two on the middle floor, taking out tools and preparing to break down the door.

The moment the tool touched the keyhole, both of them paused slightly in surprise.

This unassuming security door is not fitted with the ordinary bolt lock or pin tumbler lock commonly found in old houses, but with a set of precision-made explosion-proof blade locks with a complex lock cylinder structure and an extremely high level of security.

One of them stopped what he was doing, lowered his voice, and exchanged a glance with his companion, a deep sense of vigilance appearing in his eyes.

Something's not right.

"How could such a high-end, sophisticated door lock be installed in such an uninhabited, dilapidated old house?"

In ordinary vacant old houses, the door locks are rusted and loose, and can be easily pried open.

Jin Guisheng deliberately installed a high-security lock on a dilapidated house that no one paid attention to. The answer is self-evident: the house must contain his most precious possessions.

"Of course there's something inside."

"Can this lock be opened?"

"Yes, I can." The man in charge of unlocking the door nodded emphatically. "It just takes a little effort."

A few minutes later, after the man's persistent efforts, the door was finally opened with a "click".

The two slowly pushed open the door, and a musty smell immediately hit them.

The furniture inside was covered with a thick layer of dust, and the place looked empty. At first glance, there were no valuables at all, creating the illusion that the house had been uninhabited for a long time.

The two searched carefully, examining each table, chair, and cabinet, and scrutinizing the floor and walls repeatedly, but could not find any hidden compartments or hidden shelves.

The dust was even and thick, indicating no recent activity, as if this were truly just an empty house that had been abandoned for many years.

After a fruitless search, his companion frowned. "Strange," he said, "the lock was so secure, yet there's nothing inside. Could we have guessed wrong?"

The other person hesitated for a moment, then suddenly remembered what Lu Pingchuan had specifically told him before they left. He quickly reached for his backpack: "Right, Mr. Lu told us to bring a metal detector. Shall we try that?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Another man immediately took out a small metal detector from his bag, turned it on, and slowly scanned the area back and forth.

The instrument operated quietly until the probe moved to the wardrobe, at which point a sharp "beep beep" alarm suddenly sounded, and the pointer swung wildly.

"here."

The two perked up, and the moment they opened the wardrobe door, the metal detector's alarm went off even louder.

They had just checked the wardrobe, and there was nothing inside, but the metal detector wouldn't lie.

One person frowned and tapped the wooden board on the back of the wardrobe.

"Thump."

The wooden panel on the back of the wardrobe actually moved slightly under the man's tapping.

The two men exchanged a glance, both revealing a hint of excitement. They knew there was definitely more to the story behind the wooden plank.

Without further hesitation, the two worked together to push the wooden plank to one side. As the plank slid, a not-too-large secret room suddenly appeared before them.

A dim light shone into the secret room, and when the two people saw the scene inside, they froze on the spot.

"Holy crap, this...this is way too outrageous!"

"Damn it, that old bastard Jin Guisheng actually... actually hid so many good things?"

Inside the secret room, everything was neatly arranged, a stark contrast to the dilapidated and dusty appearance outside; it was spotless and free of any dust.

On the shelf against the wall, there were neatly stacked standard gold bricks of excellent quality, dazzling in their golden light, numbering more than thirty.

At the end of the shelf, there was a thick notebook.

The storage box next to it was filled with all kinds of high-end watches, diamond jewelry, rare jade, antiques and calligraphy and paintings, each piece of considerable value.

There were two sealed cardboard boxes on the ground. The boxes were neat and sturdy. If you opened a corner, you could see stacks of brand-new cash inside, layer upon layer, full to the brim.

A rough estimate suggests that these two boxes of cash alone contain several million dollars.

A greedy glint appeared in a man's eyes as he strode to the shelf and picked up a gold brick.

"Holy crap, this is heavy! It must weigh at least 20 or 30 pounds! There are 27 of these gold bars, and they alone weigh over 300 kilograms."

"What?" the other person exclaimed, as if he had been startled, and stood motionless.

More than 300 kilograms of gold, at current market prices, would be worth over 100 million yuan.
