Chapter 514: Chapter 511
The man naturally walked out, pulling out a cigarette and exiting the door.
Lu Xiao then took his place.
The other two people in the house were pacing back and forth in the two rooms upstairs.
At this moment, Lu Xiao directly approached one of them, “By the way, Boss Li had a command… ”
The man immediately leaned in closer, but Lu Xiao, taking advantage of the moment when no one else was around, covered the man’s mouth and nose and quickly slashed his throat with a dagger—!
Blood spurted out, splattering on the walls.
Lu Xiao dropped him, picked up his firearm, and when he came out, he saw another man.
The man, seeing blood splattered on Lu Xiao’s face, looked completely astonished.
Lu Xiao, however, flung the dagger directly, instantly piercing the man’s head.
Meanwhile, the man who had gone outside to smoke seemed to realize something was amiss. Where was the other person who was guarding the door?
Just as he opened the door to come in, Lu Xiao had already flashed to the side, behind the door.
The moment the man walked in and saw the body lying on the floor, his eyes widened in shock, but before he could react, he heard a snap. A powerful force struck from behind, and a hand chopped down on the back of his neck.
It immediately caused the man’s eyes to roll up, and he passed out on the spot.
Finally, he made his way to the underground entrance.
Though it was Lu Xiao, he had been disguised by the police beforehand.
Wearing a lifelike synthetic fiber facial mask, with a changed hairstyle and their suit on, it was as if he had become a completely different person.
Infiltrating their ranks, no one would notice anything without a deliberate search.
Once Lu Xiao went down, he encountered their men guarding the place. Those men were talking, and on seeing one of their own, they turned their gaze back, continuing their conversation.
Lu Xiao had come primarily to locate his undercover agent.
He hadn’t expected that everyone would be underground, and clearly, with so many people around, it wasn’t feasible to extract his undercover agent just like that.
For now, adapting to the situation as it unfolded was the only option.
Below was another world altogether, with vast space, as it used to be a herdsman’s granary for storing winter provisions. However, several spaces had been partitioned off.
Inside one of the large compartments, he spotted Li Tingze at a glance as he passed by.
However, kneeling in front of him was that kid who had stolen the cultural artifact necklace, with a bespectacled man beside Li Tingze, inspecting the authenticity of the necklace under the light of a flashlight.
Seeing this scene, a deeper understanding flashed through Lu Xiao’s eyes.
Li Tingze was oblivious to the fact that the kid, because of his involvement in the theft of cultural artifacts, had agreed to cooperate with the police and make amends, which is why this play had been staged.
And that cultural artifact necklace, of course, was a fake!
If it had been real, the kid’s life would have been over for sure, as they wouldn’t leave any survivors.
Downstairs were many black-suited bodyguards, at least a dozen. Lu Xiao kept his head down and saw something in the innermost compartment that made him stop in his tracks, his eyes widening slightly, then a flash of anger crossed his face.
Their undercover agent was strung up, completely disfigured, his face and body covered in blood.
Five or six people were guarding him, and there was no way to act now. Moreover, Lu Xiao noticed that the man was locked up with iron chains, needing a key to unlock.
A coldness flickered in the depths of Lu Xiao’s eyes as he retreated.
Meanwhile, on the other side—
