1271 Deep in Trouble (1/2)

”Okay, I'll bring Yin Shaohua elsewhere.” Xia Hanjiang nodded.

After a short moment, Xia Hanjiang and Qi Changshen asked, ”Bro Bei, what exactly is happening? What was it that went wrong?”

”I'll let my Lucky Goddess explain that to you! If it were not for her, we would've been caught already!” Chen Xiaobei said as he walked to the window and peered outside.

”Ms. Liu, please enlighten us!” Xia Hanjiang and Qi Changshen asked earnestly.

”Mr. Xia said that when Yin Shaohua asked for the keys, Yin Wuqiu looked suspicious. Based on what Mr. Qi said earlier, Yin Shaohua always paid women Spiritual Stones to get them into bed! Since that would be something Yin Wuqiu is used to, so why the suspicion? Well, there might be one plausible explanation! They must have changed the entry to the treasury so that it doesn't require a key anymore! That's why when Yin Shaohua asked for the key, Yin Wuqiu realized that something was wrong! He only gave the key to Yin Shaohua so that he could follow him and find out what had happened. If Yin Shaohua comes back, it would mean that we're all done for!”

Liu Xuanxin's explanation was very detailed. Even though she was not present at the scene herself, she was able to make very precise deductions.

Xia Hanjiang and Qi Changshen inhaled sharply.

Their plan was flawless on its own, but the reality was like what Liu Xuanxin had said. It dawned on them that they were behind time and their intel was not up to date!

If Liu Xuanxin had not figured it out, they could have all died by now.

Very soon, Xia Hanjiang confirmed that fact saying, ”Ms. Liu is right! Yin Wuqiu is trailing behind! This old bird really is treacherous indeed! He wouldn't even mind harming his own son!”

”Calm down!” Chen Xiaobei ordered. ”The plan has failed. What you need to do now is extract as much information as you can form Yin Wuqiu!”

”Yes!” Both Xia Hanjiang and Qi Changshen responded, and quickly proceeded to follow Chen Xiaobei's instructions.

Liu Xuanxin had once again witnessed Chen Xiaobei's extraordinary quality.

Had it been someone else' failed plan, they would have been somehow affected. Even if they did not end up getting angry at themselves and giving up, then they would probably get upset and still mess everything up!

Under the stoic leadership of Chen Xiaobei however, the unperturbed and calm demeanour of the man gave strength to the ailing team, and he was even able to come up with a solution swiftly thereby salvaging whatever was left of the operation.

In the little forest 100 meters outside of Crimson Ray Pavilion.

Yin Shaohua suddenly changed the direction he was walking.

Yin Wuqiu could not hold it in anymore and suddenly stepped into his son's path and blocked him.

”What the hell are you up to?”

”Dad? Why are you following me? I'm not up to anything!”

Yin Shaohua played dumb.

”You asked me for the key to the treasury! Don't you know that since we got that item, we've changed the treasury's regular lock and key into a high security magical sigil ?! A key is useless!”

”I…” Yin Shaohua continued his act. ”Sigh, I've become so forgetful lately. I've been so busy that I forgot.”

”How long are you going to keep this up?” Yin Wuqiu barked. ”Did that woman drug you? I know my son very well! He would never make such a stupid mistake!”

”No, no. This has nothing to do with Ms. Liu.”

Yin Shaohua shook his head. He mustn't drag Liu Xuanxin into this.

But Yin Wuqiu did not take the bait. ”It doesn't matter if you tell me or not! I will get that woman and carve her a new face! And then I'll let the horniest slave f*ck her stupid! I think she'll be more than happy to reveal the truth then!”

”Someone come to me!!” Yin Wuqiu barked. A group of disciples that were guarding the place at night ran out from the Crimson Ray Pavilion towards them.
