Chapter 432: Turning the Tables? United in Corruption!

The moment the thought arose, the Squad Leader's eyes burst with endless greed.

The purity, structure, and appearance were perfect, with not a single flaw to be found.

If he wasn't hallucinating, then he could be both steadfast and certain—

This piece of gold…

It comes from Jinshan!

Not only him, but the people around him involuntarily flushed.

Compared with the Squad Leader, they lack such deep scheming and such strong restraining ability.

So desire, unmasked, surfaced in their gazes.

Each of them—wanted to take this piece of gold!

Su Yang took in all their expressions, picked up the Wooden Box lid from the ground, and placed it on top.

In that instant, the gold's unparalleled brilliance vanished completely, and disappointment instantly blossomed in people's eyes.

"Su Clan Leader, what does this move mean?" the Squad Leader blurted out as the coveted object disappeared before his eyes.

"Sorry, everyone, this is personal property," Su Yang's gaze swept over their faces, seeing a variety of looks, and then continued:

"Since the Search Army has no issue, can my suspicion be ruled out, then?"

"Moreover, Donghai Hall has claimed that the Six Harmonies Society is secretly hoarding contraband to frame Su, shouldn't the Search Army handle this?"

The Grand Hall Master's eyelid twitched, and he outright denied on the spot, "Where does the framing come from? Do you have a gun in your Warehouse?"

"These days even a Toy Gun can be used as evidence?" Su Yang suddenly laughed out loud, retorting, "So you're saying I used this solid‑muzzled toy to kill over forty people of Donghai Hall?"

"Manufacturing a gun for no reason, who knows if you have hidden the real one elsewhere?" the Grand Hall Master snorted coldly.

"Grand Hall Master, don't you know that an accusation requires evidence?"

Speaking of that, Su Yang stared at his face, his eyes growing cold, "I, Su Yang, am no mud‑mold; I could step on any stray cat or dog."

"If the Grand Hall Master doesn't give an explanation today, none of you will be able to leave this gate."

As soon as the words fell, the Warehouse's main door slammed shut abruptly.

In that moment, the surroundings darkened sharply, and Search Army members instinctively reached for their guns, their gazes steely.

The Grand Hall Master felt the killing intent in Su Yang's eyes, immediately recalling the pressure on his shoulders when he knelt, and subconsciously stepped back two paces.

Yet his action was fully observed by those around him, anger and annoyance flaring, and he said in a deep voice, "What's this? Su Clan Leader, are you preparing to kill and silence?"

"It's not about silencing; I'm only targeting Donghai Hall, and I have no ulterior motive toward the Search Army," Su Yang said calmly.

Hearing this, the Search Army members slowly lowered the hands that had been on their gunstocks.

But the Squad Leader did not let his guard down.

He knew clearly that Su Yang held gold sourced from Jinshan; now that this dust‑sealed secret had been uncovered, they would certainly not be allowed to leave.

Even if the other side is a Warlord!

The Grand Hall Master sneered, "So the Six Harmonies Society's seafood business on the Black Market sells customers only fakes?"

"Clear pricing, free trade," Su Yang said.

"Are you trying to fool the spirits? Don't think I don't know who you sold the goods to," the Grand Hall Master shouted.

"It's that same line…" Su Yang lifted his eyelids slightly, "If you want to report, produce evidence; otherwise, what's the difference between you shouting to catch a thief while being a thief yourself?"

"Su Yang, what do you mean?"

"The gun‑hiding matter is black or white; only one of the two of us—me or Qiu Lanxing—can be responsible, and you saw today that I am indeed running a seafood business, but all the goods are counterfeit."

"Then only one answer remains; Squad Leader, take a guess—who could it be?" Su Yang said unhurriedly.

"You…" the Grand Hall Master was furious, about to rage, when a flash of insight struck his mind.

Only then he coldly said, "Su Clan Leader once said it well: everything requires evidence. Please produce evidence of Qiu Lanxing's gun‑hiding."

Using his own method to punish him!

Originally, he was still worried that Qiu Lanxing was secretly buying arms.

Now, seeing the Warehouse's true interior, he was convinced Su Yang must have some unsavory dealings!

He was also certain the other side could never produce evidence!

Yet Su Yang's next words tightened the Grand Hall Master's heart.

"Evidence, huh… what a coincidence, I happen to have it."

"Don't spew false accusations! The Search Army commander is here; you must speak responsibly!" the Grand Hall Master shouted.

Su Yang said calmly, "You must have searched Qiu Lanxing's residence and usual haunts, and found nothing."

"But you certainly don't know she also has an unknown secret residence, and that… is a place of hidden filth."

"You're talking nonsense!" the Grand Hall Master immediately denied, shouting, "I know exactly what kind of person Qiu Lanxing is; she would never do such a thing."

"Is that so? Then why don't we go take a look? A quick glance would tell us everything."

"Ridiculous, I've now witnessed Su Clan Leader's silver‑tongued eloquence; aren't you just trying to lead us all away?" the Grand Hall Master sneered repeatedly,

"Although the arms weren't found, today we gained an unexpected delight!"

"I lost a piece of gold a few days ago, identical to the one in the box; now both the thief and the gold are recovered, what more can Su Clan Leader say?"

Speaking that, he gave the Squad Leader a signal.

The latter immediately understood and said, "What audacity, daring to commit theft under the higher‑ups!"

"Men, escort Su Yang and the gold back to the camp together!"

Su Yang turned pale instantly, retreating repeatedly, "This gold is my own property; where does the theft accusation come from?"

Yet before he could finish, several Search Army members seized him outright.

The Squad Leader's face was as cold as frost, speaking righteously, "I have my own way to discern right from wrong, take him away!"

"You can't do this! Baseless false accusations—are there any laws left?" Su Yang struggled fiercely, but to no avail.

"Law?" Grand Hall Master laughed a few times, "The Warlord is the law!"

"I advise Gang Leader Su not to struggle, to avoid accidental injury."

"Shameless!" Su Yang clenched his teeth and said in a deep voice.

"Stop talking to him, we're leaving!" Grand Hall Master looked at his angry expression, feeling extremely pleased inside.

Originally he was still terrified of not having found the stolen goods and being turned against.

But Su Yang's words happened to serve as a reminder to him.

The so‑called "stolen goods" isn't it just a mouth that says it?

Su Yang was dragged out, laughing miserably: "I suppose I understand now; you two collude to target my gold and put a hat of theft on me."

Grand Hall Master heard this and slapped Su Yang's head, "You don't understand the principle that possessing a treasure makes one guilty? What kind of gang leader are you?"

"Gang Leader!" Lin Yang shouted hoarsely, leading people to rush forward to block.

But before they could act, several dark gun barrels were already aimed at everyone's heads.

"Who dares step forward, Kill Without Mercy!" Squad Leader said coldly.

Lin Yang's face changed for a moment, angrily: "I will definitely go to Junying to find the Inspector; I've memorized your faces, and none of you will escape then!"

"Monitor?" Squad Leader's eyes were odd, then he sneered and laughed, "Always welcome!"
