I was just playing tricks, how come I became Bai Yueguang

Chapter 382 Mission Impossible, a plan within a plan

The torrential rain hit the gray tiles like steel needles, and chaos filled the entire world before our eyes.

But disorder is actually a signal.

Then, she continued, "Zhou Yanheng couldn't possibly reveal such an obvious flaw. Similarly, there's no way you wouldn't know it's a flaw, so... he lied to you, and you lied to me?"

"Tick-tock-"

A drop of rain was blown by the wind and splashed onto the windowsill.

Shen Lanxi raised her eyes, her deep eyes flickering slightly.

"It's true." Jiang Huashan frowned and turned to leave.

Shen Lanxi's expression changed slightly, and she grabbed her wrist, "It's not a lie."

"Whether it counts or not, it's up to you."

Jiang Huashan sneered, shook off Shen Lanxi's hand, and walked towards the hallway without looking around.

"..." Shen Lanxi hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and took her hand again, "Listen to my explanation."

"Do not listen!"

"I won't believe a word you say from now on. No! You are not allowed to talk to me from now on."

In order to express his determination, he shook off Shen Lanxi and turned his arm half a circle.

"..."

If this really makes her angry and leaves, he's afraid he won't have a good year.

Shen Lanxi felt that she could not bear the consequences of this, so she followed him out without any temper, "Let's go inside and talk it over."

Jiang Huashan slapped his hand away, resistance written all over her body.

"..." Shen Lanxi rubbed her brows, feeling helpless and powerless. "Gao Zhi found some suspicious traces when he searched the villa. There are indeed criminals in the villa."

Jiang Huashan paused, turned his back to Shen Lanxi, and said nothing. After waiting for a while and hearing nothing further, he deliberately twisted his neck.

"..." Shen Lanxi pursed her lips, pulled her wrist and walked back, "Go sit inside first."

With Jiang Huashan's personality, if she was really angry, eight horses couldn't pull her back, so why would she argue with him for so long? He actually knew it very well, but it seemed that there was no other way except to let her control him.

The huge main hall was furnished with four sets of leather sofas. Jiang Huashan leaned forward, supporting herself with her hands on both sides. Her charming peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, with a hint of seductive warning. Shen Lanxi leaned back slightly, and her palms resting on the backrest slowly sank into the oily and soft leather.

"You must not lie to me this time."

"……Um."

"What do you say."

Shen Lanxi was a little slow, her eyes fixed on their knees touching each other.

Jiang Huashan finally reacted and quickly took her legs off the sofa. "Sorry, I'm used to it."

Shen Lanxi coughed lightly and deliberately looked away. "Gu Yuzhu's disappearance was indeed caused by Zhou Yanheng, but he was not the one who destroyed the signal room. It was indeed a gangster who sneaked into the villa."

"Then why did you tell everyone that the criminal was Zhou Yanheng?"

Jiang Huashan was puzzled. Now that everyone has lost their sense of crisis, wouldn't it be easier for the real criminals to succeed?

"This matter is a bit complicated. I only discovered that someone had sneaked into the villa after Gu Yuzhu disappeared, but these criminals were most likely already lying in ambush before us. I asked the hotel manager, and Zhou Yanheng arrived at the hotel a day earlier than us."

Jiang Huashan's expression changed slightly, "You mean..."

"Yeah." Shen Lanxi nodded. "I suspect Zhou Yanheng had already discovered the presence of criminals in the villa before I did. He deliberately took the guns from the shooting gallery not only to reveal himself, but also to prevent these things from falling into our hands."

"You mean, he aided and abetted the evildoers even though he knew they were evil?"

"Yes, I doubt it..."

Jiang Huashan's eyes were determined. "Is Zhou Yanheng in cahoots with that group of people?"

Shen Lanxi did not deny it.

"Wait, so the so-called power outage was actually a deliberate act by you to lure the enemy in, just to make him believe that you didn't discover the real criminal?"

Mission Impossible, a plan within a plan.

Jiang Huashan thought about it carefully, and suddenly the scene of Shen Guiling fighting with the man pretending to be a gangster flashed in her mind. She seemed to understand something at once, and stared at Shen Lanxi with a strange expression, "You are in the same group!"

"We?" Shen Lanxi met her gaze.

Jiang Huashan asked, "Did Shen Guiling and Shen Qingyu know about your plan from the beginning? Where were they going?"

Shen Lanxi didn't expect her to react so quickly. After a moment's deliberation, she slowly said, "The Zhou family's power has firmly penetrated into Country A's ruling area. If Zhou Yanheng is really colluding with the evil bandits, we must obtain solid evidence before we can convict him."

"I asked everyone to go back and let Shen Qingyu go to warn Zhou Yanheng, so that the group of lurking criminals would believe that we have let down our guard. As for Shen Guiling, with his ability, it shouldn't be difficult for him to follow the clues and find all the criminals in this small villa."

During the school's military exercise simulation, a team of fifty people set up camp on a mountain and staged a polar escape. Shen Guiling not only escaped the instructor's pursuit but also hunted down the other forty-nine people who escaped.

It is for this reason that Shen Lanxi gave the task of capturing people to Shen Guiling.

It turned out to be the case.

Jiang Huashan turned her head and looked out the window. "I wonder when the rain will stop?"

Shen Lanxi looked out the window. He had noticed long ago that Jiang Huashan seemed to care a lot about the rain.

He thought for a moment and whispered, "The rain will stop after the thunder and lightning pass."

"Master."

At this time, Gao Zhi hurried into the main hall. The heavy rain soaked his waterproof jacket. With every step Gao Zhi took, a puddle of water appeared on the soles of his feet.

Shen Lanxi's eyes drooped slightly and she slowly stood up.

Gao Zhi glanced at Jiang Huashan with a stern expression, "Master, there really is a mole lurking among those security guards. Fortunately, Master A Ling discovered it in time, and now we have him under our control."

"Also, Master Qingyu brought the others out after meeting Zhou Yanheng. I have moved them to a safe place according to Master's instructions."

Shen Lanxi, "Are you sure it's safe?"

Gao Zhi nodded. "Miss Lan said that when this villa was originally designed, they had prepared secret escape passages for various emergencies. Currently in the trial operation phase, the escape measures haven't been made public, so Miss Lan is the only one in the entire villa who knows about it."

"I've checked. The door to the secret warehouse is a meter thick and weighs about 90 tons. Once it's closed, the bomb can't explode unless the people inside open it themselves."

Hearing this, Shen Lanxi turned to look at Jiang Huashan and said, "Take Sui'er and Mianzhi with you and go with Gao Zhi later."

Jiang Huashan was a little surprised, "Secret escape route?"

Gao Zhi, "As soon as Miss Gu disappeared, the young master immediately contacted Miss Lan to inquire about the villa. Miss Lan was afraid that it would bring disaster to the Lan family, so she explained everything she should and shouldn't say."

Jiang Huashan raised his eyebrows slightly. Shen Lanxi had made preparations for a rainy day and even thought of everyone's retreat. This game seemed stable no matter how you looked at it.

Is it really that she is worrying too much?

"Brother Lan Xi, Shan Shan..."

Just as he was thinking about this, Shen Mianzhi walked into the main hall, looked around, and asked curiously, "Huh? Why don't I see Suier?"

The three people in the main hall were stunned at the same time. Jiang Huashan was the first to react, "Didn't Sui'er go back to the room with you to take a shower?"

Shen Mianzhi's expression changed slightly. "We originally planned to wash together, but then she said that since we were both waiting, it would be better for us to wash separately. I just went to her room and there was no one there. I thought she came first. She... didn't come? Sui'er..."

Before she could finish, Jiang Huashan turned around and ran out of the main hall. Shen Mianzhi then realized something and ran out after her.

Shen Lanxi's face turned grim as she looked up at Gao Zhi, "What's going on?"

Gao Zhi shook his head.

*

The bedroom was brightly lit, a bath towel was dropped at the bathroom door, and the floor tiles in the shower room were as clean as new, without a single water stain.

Gao Zhi plucked up a strand of hair from the bed sheet, his expression solemn, "Miss Suer must have been kidnapped before she even had time to take a shower."

This was chilling to hear. It meant that the criminals had already sneaked in when Jiang Huashan and Shen Lanxi were talking in the main hall.

Shen Mianzhi frowned and looked around the room with a hint of confusion. "Don't you find it strange? This room doesn't show any signs of intrusion, but with Yisier's vigilance, there's no way he would open the door on his own initiative."

Shen Lanxi, "You mean, the criminals have been hiding in the room for a long time?"

Shen Mianzhi said, "It's not impossible. We deliberately cut off the power supply to gain Zhou Yanheng's trust. Maybe those people sneaked in at that time."

Jiang Huashan, "You just said it was strange? What's strange about it?"

"I can't really explain it..." Shen Mianzhi muttered thoughtfully, "It seems like such a coincidence. Of all the rooms available, why did they choose Suier's room?"

"Let's assume this is just a coincidence, but shouldn't the more hostages the better? Then why did you let me go?"

Gao Zhi said, "The rain is too heavy. If there is only one criminal, it would be safer to catch him."

Shen Mianzhi thought about it and nodded, "That seems to be right."

The situation was more complicated than expected. It seemed they underestimated the enemy.

Shen Lanxi turned to look at Jiang Huashan. "We're in a dilemma right now. We can't get out, and neither can the criminals. They kidnapped Sui'er to negotiate terms, so don't worry, Sui'er won't be in danger for the time being. I promise you, I will bring Sui'er back safely. You and Mianzhi go with Gao Zhi first. I must ensure your safety now."

Jiang Huashan lowered her eyes, concealed her gaze and remained silent.

Shen Lanxi did not urge her anymore. This scene was too similar to when she was thirteen years old. However, now, he could no longer treat her as coldly as when they first met.

Shen Mianzhi was also in a bad mood at the moment. If she had been more vigilant, perhaps she would not be at a loss now.

The atmosphere in the room was like a stagnant pool.

"it is good."

After a long time, Jiang Huashan raised his head and said, "Zhizhi and I will leave first."

Shen Lanxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Jiang Huashan would argue with him at this time.

After a moment of silence, he took the initiative to speak: "Jiang Huashan, believe me, I will definitely bring Sui'er back safely this time."

the other side.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

A heart-wrenching wail emanated from the monitoring room.

Manager Hu's face turned pale, and the porcelain cup in his hand clanged loudly. "Mr. Shen...Mr. Shen, please...please have some tea."

Shen Guiling turned his head to take a look, took the tea and poured it on the pirate at his feet. The scalding tea splashed on the bloody wound, and the man was in excruciating pain.

Manager Hu swallowed and continued to boil water.

The pirate whimpered a few times and spoke with difficulty, "I'll tell you everything. Half a month ago, I followed the boss to Whale Harbor to trade seafood. On the day we returned, the boss suddenly said he had received a large order. He gave me the address of the villa and told me to find a way to sneak in. It just so happened that the hotel was recruiting security guards at the time, so I submitted some fake documents and was hired."

Manager Hu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He was about to die. He happened to drink a little too much that day, and he had hired this guy without knowing why.

You won't doubt him, will you?

Shen Guiling picked up the Alpha revolver on the table and casually turned the cylinder to point it at the man's chest. "Go on."

The pirate was so scared that he was shaking all over. He had seen the man in front of him before. He had been brought back to the island as a hostage, and the boss had his ribs broken just in case.

"Why are not you talking?"

Haikou lowered his head, fearing that he would be recognized by Shen Guiling. "Later, I took advantage of my work to memorize the layout of the villa, and secretly let people in on the day I was on duty."

Shen Guiling, "Did you destroy the signal room too?"

The pirate shook his head, "I told the others, and they did it."

"How did you and Zhou Yanheng collude?"

"Two days ago, I went to the shooting range to collect my guns and happened to see him practicing. He said the target wasn't in the right position. After I tried a few shots, he became suspicious of me and later found out my identity. But strangely, not only did he not make things difficult for me, he even let me go. Yesterday afternoon, he suddenly found me and said he wanted to see the boss."

Shen Guiling looked normal, "Have you seen it?"

"Yes. But I don't know what they talked about. My job is to provide support."

"One last question, how many people are there among you?"

The pirate was stunned, "Five."

Shen Guiling nodded, turned to look at the four people in the corner, and said gently, "You heard it, colluding with pirates will result in a military court. Even the Zhou family won't be able to protect you then."

The four students from the Military and Political Academy were terrified and knelt on the ground, looking up at Shen Guiling as if they were in awe of death.

Before leaving, Zhou Yanheng specifically told them that if they were caught, they should bite him to death because it was just a prank. With the Zhou family as a guarantor, no one could do anything to them.

But these people were not fools. After hearing the pirates' confessions, they immediately realized that they had been fooled by Zhou Yanheng.

"Sir, we are just joking. We are not kidnappers!! We don't know him! Please save me!"

Shen Guiling was a little embarrassed. "We caught him red-handed. How can I save him?"

The four students burst into tears, terrified. "We've been wrongly accused. Sir, you must believe us. We truly knew nothing. Please give us a chance to redeem ourselves for our crimes."

"Yes! Aren't there five pirates left? We can help."

Shen Guiling thought for a moment and pulled the trigger.

"boom--"

There was a loud bang, and before anyone present could react, the pirate's body trembled and a flower of blood burst out of his chest.

He even forgot his fear and stared blankly at the gushing blood.

It turned out that not only he remembered, but the man also remembered him, because it was he who broke the man's ribs.

He thought he was smart and thought he could hide the truth by changing his appearance, but he didn't expect that he had been exposed long ago.

No wonder it’s the last question.

Shen Guiling stood up and said, "What are you standing there for? Aren't we supposed to make amends for our crimes? Let's go."
