Translation: "Liu Cangyun waved his hand."

A few dozen meters away, Zhao Xiaoyang opened his phone's video function.

Translation: "Several dozen meters away, Zhao Xiaoyang opened the video function on his phone."

【12】

Translation: "In the frame, Liu Yonghao lowered his head and knelt on the ground."

Assistant Jin, with a grim expression, pointed the hunting rifle at Liu Yonghao's head.

Translation: "Assistant Jin, with a fierce expression, was pointing a hunting rifle at Liu Yonghao's head."

【16】

Translation: "It was somewhat far away."

The video recorded on the phone was a bit blurry.

Translation: "The footage captured by the phone was slightly blurry."

【20】

Translation: "Yet Liu Kanghao's side profile could be seen clearly."

His eyes were wide open, his body still moving, his head...

Translation: "His eyes were wide open, his body still moving, his head twitching bit by bit."

【24】

Translation: "With a transparent fishing line, such an effect could be achieved."

Liu Yonghao's two girlfriends, He Huina and Han Zhenmei, lunged forward.

Translation: "The two girlfriends of Liu Yonghao, He Huina and Han Zhenmei, rushed forward,"

【28】

Translation: "raising the screwdrivers in their hands, they stabbed wildly at Liu Yonghao's body."

Assistant Jin, smirking coldly, pulled the trigger.

Translation: "Assistant Jin coldly smirked and pulled the trigger."

【31】

"Bang~"

【34】

Translation: "The gunshot rang out."

Actually, the bullet had no warhead.

Translation: "Actually, the bullet had no warhead."

【38】

Translation: "After Zhao Xiaoyang finished recording, he ran over and handed the video to Liu Cangyun to view."

Liu Cangyun nodded after watching and said, "Perfect! It's just like someone had been holding a phone, hidden nearby, filming it."

Translation: "After Liu Cangyun finished watching, he nodded and said, \"Very perfect! It's just like someone took a video with a phone, hidden not far away. \""

【41】

Zhao Xiaoyang gave a hehe laugh, "Madam Liu, you overpraise me!"

【44】

Translation: "Assistant Jin, He Huina, and Han Zhenmei immediately retreated to the side."

Liu Erwa stepped forward, pointed the hunting rifle at Liu Yonghao's head, and fired.

Translation: "Liu Erwa stepped forward, aimed the hunting rifle at Liu Yonghao's head, and fired a shot."

【48】

Translation: "Then, together with Duan Fei, they threw the corpse into a pit, buried it with soil, covered it with leaves, and planted a small fir tree on top."

Assistant Jin, He Huina, and Han Zhenmei approached Liu Cangyun.

Translation: "Assistant Jin, He Huina, and Han Zhenmei walked up to Liu Cangyun."

【52】

Translation: "Liu Cangyun smiled and said, \"I have in my hand the evidence of your killing Liu Yonghao; now it's up to you. \""

They knelt, foreheads on the ground, buttocks stuck up in the air.

Translation: "The three knelt down, placing their foreheads on the ground, raising their buttocks high."

【56】

Translation: "Liu Cangyun pursed his lips."

Assistant Jin said, "Thank you, Miss Liu, for sparing our lives!"

【58】

Liu Cangyun calmly said, "You know what to do now, right?"

Translation: "Liu Cangyun lightly said, \"You know what to do now, right? \""

【61】

Assistant Jin said, "I know! Rest assured, I will definitely handle this matter properly and securely, and absolutely no one will investigate it."

【64】

Translation: "Liu Cangyun turned and left."

Only after Liu Cangyun, Zhao Xiaoyang, and the others vanished and the surrounding forest fell silent did the three finally get up from the ground.

Translation: "Only after Liu Cangyun, Zhao Xiaoyang, and the others had disappeared and the forest around fell silent did the three crawl up from the ground."

【68】

Translation: "Then, carrying two wild hares, they walked back."

Assistant Jin glanced at He Huina and Han Zhenmei, chuckled, and said, "From now on, you'll do as I say."

Translation: "Assistant Jin glanced at He Huina and Han Zhenmei, gave a hehe laugh, and said, \"From now on, you will listen to me. \""

【71】

"Yes!"

【74】

Translation: "He Huina and Han Zhenmei quickly nodded."

Assistant Jin added, "Miss Liu said that, so I won't lay a hand on you two; there will be no killing to cover up."

【76】

After we go back, we'll pack up Liu Yonghao's belongings and leave early tomorrow morning.

【78】

"After we go back, we'll pack up Liu Yonghao's belongings and leave early tomorrow morning."

Thus line 37 translation: Assistant Jin also said, \"Miss Liu has spoken, so I dare not move against you two, and there will be no silencing by killing. \"

Line 38 translation: \"After we go back, we'll pack up Liu Yonghao's belongings and leave early tomorrow morning. \"

【86】

Translation: "He Huina wore a worried expression and said, \"After we go back, how will we explain it? \""

Assistant Jin smirked coldly and said, "By then, no explanation will be needed."

Translation: "Assistant Jin coldly snorted and said, \"By then, there will be no need to explain to anyone. \""

【90】

Translation: "Liu Yonghao's father, Liu Shangtai, is the boss of a certain Society People family in Han Guo."

Liu Shangtai is elderly and has several sons who are fiercely contesting the family's inheritance.

Translation: "Liu Shangtai is old, has several sons, and they are fiercely fighting over the family's property."

【94】

Translation: "This is internal trouble."

In addition to internal strife, there are external threats.

Translation: "Besides internal trouble, there is also external threat."

【98】

Translation: "Liu Yonghao came out to travel, but actually he came out to avoid disaster, because this guy got into trouble……"

Meanwhile, Assistant Jin had amassed substantial evidence against Liu Shangtai.

Translation: "And Assistant Jin holds a large amount of evidence detrimental to Liu Shangtai."

【102】

Translation: "Without needing to go back, these evidences can be handed over to the hostile family."

By then, the Liu family will certainly blame Liu Yonghao's disappearance on a rival family.

Translation: "By then, the Liu family will surely blame Liu Yonghao's disappearance on the hostile family."

【106】

Translation: "Once Liu Shangtai dies, the Liu family will fall apart; those brothers and sisters will be busy fighting over the inheritance, and no one will care about Liu Yonghao's death."

If the opportunity is seized, Assistant Jin could still use it to climb to a higher position.

Translation: "If the opportunity is seized, Assistant Jin can also take advantage to rise to power."

【110】

Translation: "This is also what Assistant Jin hopes for."

He saw Liu Cangyun's tactics in action.

Translation: "He has witnessed Liu Cangyun's methods."

【114】

Translation: "Liu Cangyun is just a woman; how formidable must the Mr. Lin behind her be?"

Young Master Liu, used to being arrogant, didn't expect to run into a brick wall this time.

Translation: "Young Master Liu is accustomed to arrogance, but he never expected that this outing would kick him onto an iron plate."

【118】

Translation: "Early the next morning, Assistant Jin drove away with the two women from Ma Baocun village."

The villagers of Ma Bao Village hardly noticed Assistant Jin and his companions.

Translation: "The villagers of Ma Baocun didn't pay much attention to Assistant Jin and his group."

【122】

Translation: "Every year there will be tourists from all over the world."

```

Translation: "Some stay just a day or two and then leave."

Translation: "Some will stay for half a month or a month."

Steadfast Ma Baocun, ever-changing tourists.

After a brief acquaintance, the tourists left, and ninety-nine percent of them would never see each other again in this lifetime.

In the storage room, the deeper they dug that pit, the harder the soil became.

Number 27 dug, while number 28 only dug three meters deep.

Number 29 spent most of the day digging just over one meter.

In the pit nearly ten meters deep, Liu Erwa let out a breath and forcefully slammed the shovel in his hand onto the bottom.

Suddenly…

"Boom~"

With a dull thud, Liu Erwa and Duan Fei lowered their bodies.

It turned out they had finally dug through.

Fortunately, they had ropes tied around their waists, so they only fell one meter.

Duan Fei shone his flashlight downward, and upon seeing the situation inside the cave, his face showed a look of lingering fear.

All that could be seen was a large pile of wire mesh at the bottom of the cave.

It was covered with spikes.

If they had just fallen like that onto the wire mesh, they would surely have been pierced.

"What's going on?"

Zhao Xiaoyang, standing at the cave mouth, asked.

Duan Fei said, "Xiaoyang bro, we've broken through, hehe!"

Zhao Xiaoyang shone his flashlight downward, was about to run and inform Lin Feng, when Lin Feng quickly walked into the room.

Shu Jingya also came over.

Liu Erwa and Duan Fei were both pulled up.

Zhao Xiaoyang and Liu Erwa each carried a hunting rifle and kept watch outside the cave.

Lin Feng and Shu Jingya put on their protective gear, took oxygen tanks, and descended into the cave on a rope.

The underground cave was not large; it was entirely man-made.

Inside the cave lay a large amount of wire mesh bundled together.

Because the air was dry, only a thin layer of rust had formed.

The various weapons stored there were still intact.

Rifles, ammunition, mortars…

Lin Feng had no interest in these things.

The two proceeded cautiously, with Shu Jingya using the detector to check whether any landmines were buried in the ground.

Upon reaching the end of the mountain cave, another cave entrance appeared.

A large heap of irregularly shaped boxes appeared before Lin Feng's eyes.

Lin Feng and Shu Jingya, wearing gas masks, exchanged a glance.

After inspection, there was no problem.

Lin Feng pried open a box.

Neatly arranged long strips of golden‑colored metal appeared before Lin Feng's eyes.

This was a box of gold.

It also bore weight markings.

Whether in shape uniformity or purity, it was far superior to that batch of gold from the little days.

One ammunition box after another was pried open.

Gold, it was all gold!

Because of its high purity and the dry air in the cave, none of it had rusted.

A flashlight beam reflected off it, casting a brilliant golden glow.

"There's a box here!"

Shu Jingya's voice rang out.

Lin Feng turned his head and saw Shu Jingya shining her flashlight on a silver‑white box the size of a suitcase.

It was made of aluminum, and on it was a mechanical combination lock.

Lin Feng lightly tapped the box with his finger.

From the echo, he could tell that the box contained many mechanical devices.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "This must be those important scientific materials; it is the most valuable part of this treasure."

Shu Jingya nodded, saying, "I hope we can find some useful black tech!"
