What To Do If The Heroine Escapes From The Book Chapter 110

In the taxi.

Chu Ge didn't know whether he should call Lin Wuyang or not… This was Zhang Qiren and the Black Room's operation, and he had no idea what they were planning to do. It was likely they weren't up to any good. If they had contingency plans, reporting to the police might ruin their plans. But knowing that there was a pit ahead, it seemed better to report to the police. At worst, he could apologize to them later. It was better to do something bad than to be caught off guard.

After much consideration, he decided to call Lin Wuyang. However, nobody answered Lin Wuyang's phone either.

Chu Ge was taken aback, but it actually put his mind at ease.

Did this mean that Lin Wuyang was already involved in their operation?

Thinking back to what Lin Wuyang had said about starting to cooperate with the Black Room, it was highly possible that Zhong Yi was secretly colluding with Lin Wuyang, working with Zhang Qiren on the surface while working with the police in secret.

In that case, it should be fine.

Chu Ge's tense nerves relaxed a bit. After thinking it over, he decided to send messages separately to Lin Wuyang, Zhang Qiren, Zhong Yi, and others. At least if they glanced at their phones, they would immediately be alerted.

That would be the extent of what he could do in terms of contingency plans. He still needed to go and see for himself to truly feel at ease. At the very least, he needed to be nearby in case there was any room for assistance.

Having a “prisoner” with him might prove to be more useful than he anticipated.

Chu Ge glanced at Hai Dongqing.

Hai Dongqing sat next to Chu Ge in the back seat, his face bruised and swollen, with a somewhat vacant and sinister expression.

He never expected that the person he encountered in his private actions would turn out to be allied with the team's enemies, and that they had close contact with Lin Wuyang. This coincidence was too precise…

Now, it was beyond being forced to act as a guide. He had revealed the operation himself… Once it was known, there would be no doubt that he would be killed.

In addition to regret, a fierce look began to flicker in his eyes.

Since that was the case, he might as well go all out. He could bring their own boss into it and make himself defect to the light with a meritorious performance. Maybe he could avoid spending several years in prison.

He took a deep breath and glanced at the driver in front, whispering, “Brother, have you ever thought about why the Wang family, knowing that someone wants to steal their evidence, didn't destroy it? For example, the second set of accounts, they could delete or modify the electronic records, burn the manual records, or if they really needed them, bury them somewhere random where no one can find them. Why steal them? Why go to the trouble of hiring guards?”

Chu Ge furrowed his brow. “Just to dig a pit and ambush intruders?”

“Of course, it's more than that,” Hai Dongqing whispered. “The Wang family has something to protect, and it's hard to keep it hidden. Just hiding a ledger or something wouldn't be enough. If their treasure is stolen, the Wang family will also decline.”

“Like how I could sense my beads?” Chu Ge asked.

“That's right… The Wang family relies on having treasures to support their ability users, enabling them to gather a group of people willing to risk their lives for them and engage in activities like running casinos and trafficking drugs. Originally, their treasures were well-guarded, and no one could steal them. But recently… Ever since Wang Zhenkun's casino was exposed and he was taken in, the Wang family's many industries have been subjected to extensive inspections. Many people have been taken in for questioning, and the Wang family is busy covering up. Half of the people they could rely on are gone.”

Chu Ge nodded slightly. This was indeed a good opportunity to attack the Wang family, and Zhang Qiren would not miss it.

In fact, whether it was Zhang Qiren or Zhong Yi, their true targets might not necessarily be things like ledgers. Those things might have been buried long ago, making them impossible to find. What's the point of stealing them? Their real objective might very well be the treasures of the Wang family. Any mention of the ledgers was just something they said to deceive the other side.

However, it was unclear whether the other side had already guessed this or if there was a mole leaking information, leading to the hiring of guards from the outside. But from the current situation, it seemed that Zhang Qiren and the others should have prepared for this aspect as well…

A thought crossed his mind, and he suddenly said, “Your boss isn't well-intentioned either. Otherwise, why would you leave the team to fish? Are you really willing to sacrifice your life for them?”

Hai Dongqing chuckled, “Of course not. He also wants to see if there's an opportunity to steal the Wang family's treasures while being in charge of guarding them. The more chaotic the situation, the greater the chance… Once the opportunity arises and his subordinates are not around, you think I'll survive or not?”

Chu Ge let out a “ha” sound but didn't answer.

It was a chaotic situation where everyone had their own hidden agenda.

But it felt like the police uncles were watching everything, just waiting for them to make a move.

Chu Ge thought for a moment and asked again, “Is it really impossible to conceal the aura of these treasures?”

“Since they contain obvious energy and ability users have strong mental powers, they can always sense them, especially those that align with their own abilities—they are even more sensitive to them,” Hai Dongqing replied reluctantly. He glanced back, longing for Chu Ge's beads that were left at home. He even considered running back to get them.

Turning his head and seeing Chu Ge's ambiguous expression, Hai Dongqing cleared his throat and continued, “There should be methods to conceal them as well. My boss has something on him, but I can't sense it. Maybe the Wang family is just too powerful to conceal it? I don't know the specifics either.”

Chu Ge nodded and didn't say much. His gaze turned to the neon lights outside the car, as if he could already see the surging waves within and outside the Wang family villa in the distance.

Suddenly, his phone vibrated, and several messages arrived simultaneously:

Zhang Qiren: “Brother Chu, I'm starting to think you're so loyal because you want to deceive our Golden Alliance.”

Zhong Yi: “Understood, we have contingency plans. How come you seem to know everything?”

…………

Zhang Qiren and Zhong Yi both put their phones back in their pockets and exchanged a knowing look. They chuckled and said, “Is it a girlfriend check-up?”

“I don't have a girlfriend.”

“Me neither.”

Damn it, it seems like the one who sent us the messages does.

I don't feel like praising his loyalty anymore.

“Let's go, it's time for action.” Zhang Qiren glanced at the seemingly unguarded villa in front of them, which appeared to be in darkness as if everyone was asleep. He turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

Zhong Yi watched his figure vanish and then turned and left as well.

A shadow descended from the night sky with the gentle breeze and landed lightly inside the villa. It easily approached the drowsy security guard and delivered a gentle blow to the back of his neck, rendering him unconscious.

The core member of the Black Room that Chu Ge hadn't seen until now…

Long Qi Jia, a college student with the ability to manipulate wind.

Not particularly mysterious, but this kid had been obsessed with preparing for postgraduate exams and hadn't participated in many activities. Since he failed the exams this time, he came out to help his buddies seek revenge.

Continuing the tragedy of having useless abilities in the hidden room, this kid could only manipulate the wind when there was a breeze. Otherwise, he was useless. However, he had participated in a few missions and proved to be quite adept at knocking people out and carrying out petty theft.

Long Qi Jia easily opened the large iron gate outside the villa. The group quietly entered, and Zhang Qiren waved his hand, signaling one of his subordinates to pick the lock of the villa's anti-theft door.

Just as their hands touched the lock, it silently opened in an instant.

Metal manipulation ability?

The members from both sides exchanged a glance and swiftly entered the room, splitting up to search different areas.

The target was clear, finding the secret chamber. The treasures of the Wang family couldn't possibly be kept in a bedside safe or even in prohibited drugs and accounting books. They must be stored in a secret room.

You could sense that the secret chamber was underground, but finding the entrance was the challenge.

In reality, everyone knew that once they entered the secret chamber, it would be the most dangerous part. It meant being trapped with no way out, nowhere to run.

But that was the problem that conventional thieves had to face.

Hmm… is it appropriate to use the term “conventional thieves” for stealing? Well, Zhong Yi thought it was appropriate because he himself wasn't suited for more extreme actions. The reason he collaborated with Zhang Qiren was that Zhang Qiren was willing to break the rules even more.

While the members of the Black Room searched for the secret chamber, Zhang Qiren headed straight to the bedroom of the head of the Wang family, Wang Xiangdong.

With a knife held against Wang Xiangdong's neck, everything would be over…

“Over here!” Panda called out in a low voice outside the maid's room. “There's a network cable leading from here underground. I can almost sense someone sitting in front of a computer watching videos.”

The members of the Black Room quickly gathered around. “Can you find the door?”

“Following the network cable, it should be here…”

The locksmith from Zhang Qiren's side opened the door to the master bedroom, and the red-haired henchman sneaked in quietly.

Zhang Qiren himself didn't even enter the building. He watched his henchman disappear and quietly exited the villa's main gate.

Meanwhile, Panda opened the door to the secret chamber, but the members of the Black Room didn't enter at all. The chef's wife took out a big white rabbit milk candy and threw it directly into the secret room.

Not a flashbang.

It was a collaboration between husband and wife, an evolved version of unpleasant food, a stink bomb.
