Li Chonglou remembered what Lin Qianqian had said earlier, that things were a bit complicated. This wasn't just complicated; it was a massive trap!
"She couldn't possibly not know. Or is it that she specifically wanted me to try this place?"
Upon realizing this, Li Chonglou's expression turned grim. If this were the case, he was clearly being used as cannon fodder. However, based on his previous understanding of Lin Qianqian, she wouldn't do something like that.
For a moment, Li Chonglou couldn't figure out what was going on.
But women's minds were notoriously fickle. Since their argument, they hadn't communicated. Li Chonglou thought about it and ultimately decided not to call and report first.
"Forget it. If I rescue the person, we're even. Whatever happens next is no longer my concern."
With that thought, Li Chonglou didn't hesitate any further.
His soul fusion time was limited, and he had to find a way to infiltrate and rescue the person as soon as possible. However, under the current circumstances, a direct assault was impossible. Such large criminal organizations would undoubtedly possess advanced firearms.
If this were above ground, Li Chonglou might have had a chance with his speed advantage. But their stronghold was deep underground. If he barged in, his escape route would be cut off, turning him into a trapped beast.
Just then, a faint sound reached his ears.
"Seriously, I have to come out every time for water. Can't they find someone else?"
"Don't say it. I'm just as unlucky. We need to buy quite a lot this time. We'll probably need to hire some workers to deliver it."
Li Chonglou hid aside and quietly followed the direction of the voices. He saw two men emerging from an alley.
From their conversation, it was clear they were members of this criminal organization.
Their words also gave Li Chonglou an idea.
"That's right. Since they're hidden deep underground, all their daily necessities must be procured from outside!"
And an opportunity presented itself right before him: a water delivery worker.
Li Chonglou immediately leaped onto the rooftop and activated his Heavenly Eye's X-ray vision ability, searching for the nearest water shop.
Combining this with the direction the two men were heading, Li Chonglou quickly pinpointed a target.
Arriving at the shop first, Li Chonglou directly pulled out his bank card and swiped it, much to the owner's astonishment.
"I need to use your employee's identity for a bit. Half the reward after it's done."
Looking at the string of numbers that appeared in his bank account from the text message, the owner was dumbfounded.
It wasn't until Li Chonglou urged him a few times that he snapped back to reality.
"Damn it, no matter who you are, I'm taking this money today!"
The owner didn't ask any questions about the reason or the situation. He immediately went to the side, took out an employee uniform, and handed it to Li Chonglou.
"Boss, just put it on! If you like it, I'll even give you this whole shop!"
In reality, the money Li Chonglou transferred to him wasn't a lot, only a hundred thousand. But the owner's shop was only about ten square meters, estimated to be worth around fifty to sixty thousand. This sum far exceeded the total value of his shop.
Not to mention the subsequent reward!
Thus, Li Chonglou played the role of the boss for a moment.
"Just treat me as an employee. We'll play it by ear later," Li Chonglou instructed as he quickly changed into the uniform. The owner, though looking confused, nodded repeatedly, driven by the money.
"What the heck, I'll do as the boss says. As long as there's money!"
About five minutes later, the two men, just as Li Chonglou had predicted, swaggered in.
"Who's the boss!"
One of the blond men shouted loudly as soon as he entered. The owner instinctively looked at Li Chonglou.
Li Chonglou immediately gave him a wink and then turned around, pretending to be an employee moving goods.
The owner, being sharp, instantly understood Li Chonglou's intention. He rubbed his hands together and walked up to the blond man with a brilliant smile.
"Hello, I'm the boss here. Are you here to buy water?"
The blond man rolled his eyes. "Am I here to buy water or to solicit prostitutes? I need a hundred and fifty barrels of bottled water. Do you have anyone to deliver them?"
"Yes, of course! Do you need it in stock or by reservation?"
"Nonsense, of course, in stock. Pack it now, I don't have that much time to wait."
"Alright, coming right up!"
With the substantial sum of money in his account and now a large order, the owner's lips were almost splitting to his ears. He quickly took out his phone and called over his meager three employees.
While the men were working, the owner quietly reminded his three employees.
"Don't pay any attention to the new guy. If anyone asks, just say he's a colleague, understand?"
These three had been with him for several years; they were all poor lads from the countryside, so the owner wasn't worried about them speaking out of turn.
After the three of them, along with Li Chonglou, hauled the goods out, the owner took out his phone and kept looking at the deposit record.
"Heh heh, this is truly a windfall. I can't stop it even if I wanted to."
More than a hundred barrels of bottled water required two trucks to load. Li Chonglou, along with another man from the inside, sat in the back seat, following the lead truck to the residential complex.
After entering the complex, Li Chonglou activated his Heavenly Eye's X-ray vision again and quickly spotted that the vehicles were parked at a house directly above the underground entrance.
"This is it. You guys unload the goods onto the truck first, then bring them in with me," the blond man commanded as soon as he got out of the car. Li Chonglou silently complied, and the other three had no objections.
However, when they drove the truck into a freight elevator, one of the men suddenly instructed them.
"Below is the complex's parking lot. Don't talk or look around when you go in. Just follow me."
Although the request was a bit odd, the three still had no objections. After working for so many years, they knew what to mind and what not to mind.
Li Chonglou, however, wasn't surprised by this at all. This was because there was indeed a parking lot beneath the complex, but below that parking lot was Xuan Tian.
But for Li Chonglou, being able to sneak into the parking lot was enough.
During the subsequent water delivery, Li Chonglou quietly instructed the employee who had driven earlier, "Just leave directly when we're done, don't mind me."
The two men never expected anyone to infiltrate using this method, so they barely supervised the four of them. After showing them the way once, they went off to the side to smoke.
During the last delivery, Li Chonglou specifically told the three to drive away directly, while he leisurely pulled the last pallet to the destination.
Glancing back and seeing the two men still chatting in the distance, Li Chonglou directly slipped into the underground passage.
It was actually just a hidden door.
