Chapter 570: Fake Robbery, Real Chapter
……
Shao Yun led a group of people to dive to a hidden ruin submerged underwater. Based on the navigation of the system, Shao Yun knew that this was the entrance to the small workshop that produced Lesi.
Shao Yun tried hard to move the rocks that blocked his way. After some effort, the rocks were removed and a passage leading to the depths gradually appeared.
However, even though the road was clear, the distance ahead still seemed quite far.
Everyone followed Shao Yun and swam forward along the underwater passage.
I don’t know how long it took, but I finally arrived at the small workshop where Le Si was made.
When they entered the area, they found that the so-called small workshop was just a spacious cave with its outer passage flooded.
Paimon opened his eyes wide and looked around in surprise.
"Oh my god! I didn't expect there would be such a hidden gem here!"
Clorinde, standing by, carefully observed the bottles and worn-out crates scattered on the ground, and could not help but sigh.
"I see. The Lesi factory is hidden in such an unknown corner. No wonder the security team has spent a lot of time and energy but still can't find the source of Lesi."
Shao Yun took off the heavy and thick diving suit with some difficulty, then reached out and pulled out John's cowboy revolver from his waist.
"Xiawolei missed a great opportunity to make a contribution, but it doesn't matter, let's move on."
After saying that, Shao Yun raised his leg and walked forward.
However, after taking only a few steps, he suddenly stopped as if he remembered something important.
Then he quickly turned around and faced everyone.
"Oh, by the way! Everyone, don't forget to cover your faces."
As he spoke, he quickly put a black mask on his face, covering the lower half of his face.
When Femini heard Shao Yun's words, he was stunned at first, then he obeyed the order and put on the diving helmet he had taken off before, while sighing secretly in his heart.
“It’s a little weird, but it feels so professional.”
On the other side, Ying and Paimon also took action. They took out masks and put them on their faces, just covering the upper half of their faces.
At this time, Clorinde looked at the people around her who had completed the task of covering their faces, and she couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
She frantically groped about her body, trying to find something to cover her face, but in the end her efforts were in vain.
Her expression gradually became embarrassed, and she said helplessly: "I...I don't seem to have anything to cover my face."
Seeing this, Ying immediately understood Clorinde's dilemma and took out a new mask from her body.
Ying walked quickly to Clorinde, handed the mask to her, and said softly: "I have an extra mask here, you can use it."
As for why Ying has so many masks and where these masks come from... that is unknown.
After all, when Ying and Paimon were hoeing the earth, they would always encounter some fools who didn't have long eyes...
Clorinde took the mask, put it on her face, and said, "Thank you."
……
Everyone walked slowly along this unique road.
As we go deeper, various details of the surrounding environment gradually appear before our eyes, and more and more obvious traces of human activities begin to emerge.
There were piles of ashes left after a bonfire and a few shabby camping tents.
Just as everyone was about to reach a corner, a noisy voice suddenly came into their ears, mixed with the crisp sound of bottles and jars colliding.
Shao Yun originally thought that there was no one in this small Lesi workshop and that people were just looking for some evidence, but he didn't expect that there was actually someone there!
Shao Yun stuck his head out and observed carefully.
Not far ahead, there were a few guys wearing isolation suits, busy working.
Considering that Clorinde and Femini might have serious consequences if they were accidentally splashed into the original fetal sea water, Shao Yun took the initiative to subdue these suspects who made Les.
Immediately afterwards, Shao Yun walked quickly towards the four suspects who were wearing heavy protective clothing.
At this time, some of the four people were concentrating on processing raw materials into finished products, some were skillfully carrying out the product packaging process, and others were deftly stacking up the packaged boxes, completely unaware of the impending crisis.
When Shao Yun's tall and straight figure suddenly entered their field of vision, the four suspects who were originally concentrating on the work in their hands were stunned for a moment.
At first they mistakenly thought that Shao Yun was also one of their companions, but this thought only lasted for a moment.
When Shao Yun arrived in front of the four men, before the leader among them had time to say anything.
Shao Yun suddenly swung his right arm and delivered a heavy punch with such speed and power that it was astonishing.
The punch hit the little leader's face squarely, and the powerful impact caused him to stagger backwards and finally fall heavily to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, Shao Yun showed no intention of stopping. He quickly turned around and swung his fists at the other three enemies.
The remaining three people did not have time to put up much resistance and suffered the same fate as the little leader.
In a flash, all four of them were lying on the ground in a mess.
Then, Shao Yun deftly took out ropes from his Eastern Legend backpack and tied up the four guys who had no ability to fight back tightly together.
Then he tore off the protective suits and helmets worn by these people, exposing their true faces completely.
At this time, the little boss in charge of making Le Si had been beaten beyond recognition by Shao Yun's punch. Not only was his nose swollen and bruised, but his eyes could not be opened because of pain and fear.
He panted and asked in a trembling voice: "Who... are you?"
Shao Yun, who was standing aside, still had his face covered, revealing only a pair of eyes that were flashing with cold light.
His whole body exuded an aura of ferocity and brutality, like a bandit.
Shao Yun pulled out the dagger from his waist, pointed the tip of the knife at the little leader, and threatened him viciously: "Humph! Listen carefully, we are bandits! If you know what's good for you, hand over all the Moras to me!"
When they heard that Shao Yun was going to rob people directly, Clorinde, Ying and Paimeng were so shocked that they almost choked on their own saliva.
Especially Paimon, who looked at the scene in disbelief. Aren't you here to find evidence of the mastermind behind last night's incident?
At this time, Femini was quietly huddled at the back of the team, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible.
The small boss in charge of producing Le Si couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart when he saw Shao Yun's ferocious look with his face covered.
In addition, Shao Yun carried out the robbery without saying a word, so the little leader mistakenly thought that he was a member of the treasure-stealing group.
So he plucked up the courage to ask, "No way, since the 'Great Treasure Thief' disappeared, haven't you all the treasure-stealing gangs disbanded yet?"
When Paimon heard the name "The Great Thief Bao Jia", he didn't react at first to who this person was.
"The Great Thief Baojia? The name sounds familiar, but I just can't remember it."
Seeing this, Ying on the side quickly reminded him softly: "Paimon, have you forgotten? It's the 'person' we met in the abyss ruins in Liyue before!"
After being reminded by Jing Ying, Paimeng slapped his head as if awakened from a dream, and said with sudden realization: "Oh, I remember! It turned out to be him!"
At this moment, Clorinde also took over the conversation and told the story about this "great treasure thief".
"Speaking of which, about half a year ago, that 'great treasure thief' suddenly disappeared without a trace."
"Since then, the large-scale treasure-stealing gangs in Fontaine have basically dispersed."
"Nowadays, the scattered small groups of treasure-stealing groups are basically engaged in the secret mining of minerals."
After hearing this, Paimon's mind immediately popped up the image of the treasure-stealing group in the Chasm of Rocks, and he couldn't help but sneer.
"Secretly mining for minerals, it feels exactly like the treasure-stealing group in the Stratum Abyss... Anyway, they are all a bunch of sneaky guys who do no good!"
At this moment, Shao Yun pressed the dagger firmly against the neck of the little leader and threatened again: "Stop talking nonsense and hand over all the money quickly!"
However, what no one expected was that the restrained little leader actually started to approach in such a panic.
"You must be mistaken! We are from the Cabriere Chamber of Commerce! We have already paid this month's protection fee in full and on time!"
Shao Yun couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard the little leader actually said the name of the Chamber of Commerce he belonged to so fluently.
If he didn't know the truth of the matter beforehand, he might have really mistakenly thought that this guy was lying.
"Cabriel Chamber of Commerce?" Shao Yun frowned and repeated the name in a low voice.
When the little leader saw this, he was secretly delighted, thinking that this was indeed a misunderstanding.
So he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and continued to persuade earnestly: "Yes, yes, yes! It is the Cabriere Chamber of Commerce! Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, can you please untie us quickly?"
"If we continue to be in a stalemate like this, and once the big shots above us are alerted, no one will be happy!"
Shao Yun said slowly with a hint of sarcasm and deep meaning: "Humph, it's so smooth... It's really surprising!"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly used the handle of the dagger to hit the suspects who were tied up and sitting on the ground.
After hearing a few dull noises, the suspects didn't even have time to scream before their eyes went dark and they fainted.
As Clorinde's eyes swept across the small workshop that made "Les", she said to Shao Yun, "I knew that coming to you with Ying would yield something."
……
Immediately afterwards, Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng began searching for evidence in this small Les workshop.
For safety reasons, Clorinde and Femini stayed where they were, closely guarding the members of the Gabriel Chamber of Commerce who had been beaten unconscious by Shao Yun.
After a search, Shao Yun looked at the account books, timetables and other evidence he found, and said to himself: "I never thought that the Capri Chamber of Commerce would hire such a group of idiots..."
Seeing that Shao Yun and Ying seemed to have made some progress, Clorinde asked hurriedly, "How is it, have you found any valuable evidence?"
Ying nodded slightly, picked out some of the most critical and important information from a thick stack of documents and handed it to Clorinde.
“I gained a lot. There are many very valuable things in it.”
Clorinde's eyes widened as she stared in disbelief at the evidence Ying handed over that proved that the Capri Chamber of Commerce was selling Les, her lips trembling slightly.
"This... Although the case has not yet been concluded, I should not have made such rash conclusions and wild guesses..."
"But the Gabriel Chamber of Commerce is a brother organization of the Thorn Rose Society! On the surface, they have been fighting against contraband items like Les, but who could have expected that they were secretly the mastermind behind the production of Les..."
At this point, Clorinde couldn't bear to think about what a heavy blow it would be for Navia if she knew about this matter!
Clorinde felt very uncomfortable when she thought that Navia would show that grief-stricken look again.
At this moment, Paimon suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, Clorinde, I have been wondering since yesterday, what is going on between you and Navia?"
"I always feel that the relationship between you two is a little strange. You are familiar with each other, but there is also a sense of distance. You are strangers, but you two seem to care about each other."
When Clorinde heard Paimon mention this old story, a trace of panic flashed across her eyes for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure.
She coughed lightly, changed the subject, and said, "Well... well, after we send these people and the relevant evidence to the security team and arrange for people to seal off this place, I will tell you in detail when we have dinner together tonight."
Paimon obviously hadn't expected Clorinde to give such an answer, and he could not help but stand there in a daze.
"have dinner together?"
Clorinde looked at Shao Yun and said seriously, "You said last night that you would invite me to your family dinner. Have you forgotten?"
Seeing that Clorinde was a person who liked to take jokes seriously, Shao Yun said helplessly: "You are really stubborn..."
