Chapter 65: Chapter 65
"Who said he's not here?"
Lin Yi led Ran to a wall and touched a rope, saying, "Watch closely..."
As he pulled the rope, a burst and a metallic noise were heard.
Though the area was dark and visibility was low, the floor was evidently covered in gold.
"Is this a joke?" Ran was stunned, looking at Lin Yi in confusion. "Why is there gold in a place like this?"
Lin Yi shrugged. "I don't know what the person who hid the treasure was thinking..."
At that moment, Lin Yi heard a noise from the exterior staircase. Someone was coming up!
Here they come!
Lin Yi went outside to take a look. Although he saw nothing, he grew nervous and said, "Oh no, Ran... there are three armed men outside with guns, the gold probably belongs to them!"
Ran got nervous, her voice lowering. "What do we do now? They have guns!"
Lin Yi immediately adopted a brave expression, showing his fearless attitude.
In a firm and resolute voice, he said, "Don't worry! Leave this to me! Nothing will happen to me! I'll be fine!"
"... Be careful. Don't do anything reckless," Ran said with great concern.
"Mm… Stay away from me! If I accidentally hurt you later, it will break my heart!"
————————
Seeing Lin Yi's confident look, Ran decided to trust him and kept a safe distance.
Soon, the "clang, clang, clang" sounds grew louder. The three thieves quickly reached the observation platform via the external elevator.
"Hand over our treasure map... huh?"
The Japanese thief leading the way pointed a gun at Lin Yi, immediately noticing the glittering gold coins scattered on the floor, his eyes widening in astonishment.
The mustached thief and the tall one behind him hadn't even had time to catch their breath and were already surrounded by a sea of gold coins.
The mustached thief couldn't control his excitement, took two steps forward, grabbed a handful of gold coins from the floor, and bit them hard.
After confirming they were gold, the mustached thief couldn't contain his enthusiasm and shouted to his companions behind him, "It's real! We really found it!"
"We really found it! You're amazing!" The tall thief praised the Japanese thief, saying, "If you hadn't used your method, we probably wouldn't have found the treasure so easily."
"Hehehe…"
The Japanese thief, full of pride, said, "See? I told you, we weren't familiar with Japan. If we had come looking on our own, who knows how long it would have taken… and they didn't even let others help us."
In reality, he had simply slipped and accidentally dropped the treasure map, and the wind carried it away.
He had only said that to regain his prestige. But to his surprise, they actually found the treasure!
The Japanese thief looked at Lin Yi and Ran but ignored Ran.
"Hey, kid."
The Japanese thief, with a cold smile, said, "I didn't expect you to be so capable. You even managed to decipher such a difficult treasure map! Thanks to you."
"You're welcome... could you let us go?" Lin Yi asked.
"That's not possible…"
The Japanese thief shook his head and said, "Now that you've seen this gold, we can't let you live."
"Do you plan to kill me with a gun? Aren't you afraid the shot will reveal your location?" Lin Yi responded.
"Haha, of course we're not that stupid."
The Japanese thief said in a low voice, "We already have the gold, and at this critical moment, I don't want to attract the police… Go and take care of him."
The last sentence was directed at the tall thief.
Lin Yi was clearly a "pretty boy," with an attractive face but thin arms and no intimidating presence.
The tall thief didn't even consider him a threat. He put his gun back in his pocket and approached Lin Yi arrogantly.
Maybe he was in a good mood after finding the gold, and before acting, he said, "Kid, if there's anyone to blame, it's only yourself for meddling."
As he spoke, he reached out to grab Lin Yi's wrist, trying to restrain him.
However, before he was touched, Lin Yi had already used the last skill enhancement scroll to become a combat expert, besides equipping himself with a thug suit and activating thug mode.
The moment he entered thug mode, Lin Yi felt very calm inside, as if the earth had exploded, he couldn't feel a shred of emotion.
It's very strange, being a thug but showing the opposite effect.
Lin Yi didn't feel the slightest fear in the face of the gun.
Why wasn't he afraid?
Because Lin Yi had at least ten ways to deal with it.
Since there were ways to solve it, there was no reason to fear.
Eliminating the options that could cause him injuries, there were still two or three methods left.
However, Lin Yi didn't forget that this time it wasn't just a simple treasure hunt, he had his own objectives.
When the tall thief grabbed his wrist, Lin Yi's mind was clear. He knew that if he attacked his descendants, he could completely lose his combat effectiveness.
Or, he could hit his neck before he struck a blow, leaving him breathless and unable to fight.
He could also hit his armpit so that his arm would go numb and he couldn't use it.
The enemy was full of weak points.
However, to carry out his plan, Lin Yi decided not to resist.
The Japanese thief, seeing that Lin Yi didn't resist, was very satisfied. He knew that the next step would be simple: first collect the gold, then take these two people to the field to kill them, and then sell the gold on the black market to earn a good sum of money.
