Watching the malicious Lin Zhijie, Yun Hanrui's originally pale face gradually calmed down.

With a mocking look, she said to Lin Zhijie, "Lin Zhijie, you are now nothing but a dog for the Fusang people. Do you really think you have the qualifications to talk to me?"

Lin Zhijie was stunned; he hadn't expected Yun Hanrui to dare mock him under these circumstances.

"Hey, it seems you are really impatient!" Lin Zhijie was startled, then he made a gesture as if preparing to take off his clothes.

With a sarcastic tone, Yun Hanrui said, "If you dare touch a single hair on me, do you believe I would bite my tongue and commit suicide right here?"

"You... huh, even if copulating with a corpse is ominous, if you can tolerate it, we wouldn't mind!" Lin Zhijie said indifferently.

Yun Hanrui sneered, "The master behind you has been plotting for years. If he got the code box but not the code, do you think he would let you off? Right now, only my father and I know the code, and with my father's temperament, it's impossible for you to bend him. Thus, your only breakthrough is me! In such a situation, do you dare lay a hand on me?"

Lin Zhijie trembled with rage. Yun Hanrui's words really intimidated him! After all, he was just an underdog raised by Muteng Yiyang. If something really happened to Yun Hanrui, leading them to not obtain the contents of the code box, he would definitely be Muteng Yiyang's first target for venting his anger!

"Miss Yun, we must obtain the contents of this code box!" Qing Mu then spoke up, "You should also be clear by now, you can't protect these things. Why not make it simple and tell us the code? We promise not to hurt you!"

Yun Hanrui disdainfully said, "Promise? What do you take for guarantee?"

Qing Mu indifferently replied, "I am a Kamikaze Jonin. If you don't cooperate, I won't harm you, but I can't guarantee your parents, family, or friends! Miss Yun, think carefully, is it worth it to risk the lives of your loved ones for something you're destined to lose? Just tell me the code, and I, as a Jonin, promise on my honor that no harm will come to you and yours."

Yun Hanrui's complexion changed, then she seemed to make up her mind and said, "Fine, I can tell you the code, but you have to keep your promise! However, before that, I need you to do something for me."

"Miss Yun, please state your requirement," Qing Mu said evenly.

Yun Hanrui looked toward Lin Zhijie, causing him to shiver, wondering if she could...

"My request is simple. I want you to break all four of Lin Zhijie's limbs and turn him into a cripple! If you can do that, I will give you the code right now!"

Qing Mu hesitated for a moment, then looked at Lin Zhijie.

Lin Zhijie immediately knelt down with a thud, "Mr. Qing Mu, you can't fall for this woman's trap! This woman is vicious at heart; she will definitely not hand over the code easily. I… I am loyal to the Fusang Empire; you should not be deceived by this woman's nonsense!"

Qing Mu looked at Lin Zhijie and said gently, "Lin Jun, you need not worry. I know well your loyalty to Great Fusang, but because of that, now it's your turn to show your loyalty!"

Lin Zhijie was dumbfounded, watching incredulously as Qing Mu spoke.

In Qing Mu's eyes, now that they had the code box, Lin Zhijie was no longer of any value. In contrast, Yun Hanrui, who knew the code, was the most crucial person! Exchanging an obsolete pawn for the code was a beneficial deal indeed.

"No, Mr. Qing Mu, you can't do this! I am loyal to the Fusang Empire! I contributed to this treasure hunt!" Lin Zhijie begged humbly.

Qing Mu nodded, "Yes, you did contribute, and I am aware of your loyalty. But now we need you to show your loyalty once more. Don't worry; we will not forget you!"

Saying this, Qing Mu pulled out Ninja Sword from his waist and steadily walked towards Lin Zhijie.

Lin Zhijie collapsed in terror: "No, that's right, Mr. Muteng Yiyang wouldn't let you hurt me; we had an agreement!"

Qing Mu looked sympathetically at Lin Zhijie, "Why don't you give Mr. Yiyang a call?"

Lin Zhijie, as if hearing heavenly music, hurriedly fished out his mobile phone. Due to his extreme nerves, the phone accidentally fell to the ground. Tremblingly, he picked it up and dialed Muteng Yiyang's number.

"Sorry, but the number you've dialed is powered off..."

With a clatter, the phone fell to the ground again, leaving Lin Zhijie utterly stupefied. "Why, why is this happening? We clearly had an agreement!"

Qing Mu coldly said, "Lin Zhijie, did you really think that after getting the materials, we would take you with us? Having achieved these materials, you are of no use to us. Why would we risk taking you back home? Stop daydreaming!"

Like a bucket of ice water in harsh winter, Qing Mu's words completely extinguished Lin Zhijie's hopes.

"Let me give you a piece of advice as a traitor. Even in Fusang, traitors are not to be trusted or forgiven!"

As soon as Qing Mu finished speaking, a flash of his blade followed.

Seconds later, Lin Zhijie's screams echoed throughout the workshop.

All his tendons were severed by Qing Mu, blood gushed out, spilling on the floor, and he lay there, continuously writhing in agony.

Pain, heart-piercing pain, Lin Zhijie felt his limbs trembling uncontrollably, no longer under his control.

Hearing Lin Zhijie's agonized cries, a look of satisfaction crossed Yun Hanrui's face.

"Miss Yun, I have fulfilled your request!" said Qing Mu flatly, "Now it's your turn!"

Looking at Lin Zhijie writhing, Yun Hanrui spoke with venom, "Alright, I, Yun Hanrui, keep my word. The code for the code box is 33457. Turn the dial left once, then right twice!"

Qing Mu nodded at Mr. Ono, who picked up the code box and, following Yun Hanrui's instructions, entered the code.

Five seconds later, there was a click, and the door of the code box opened, revealing a brief flash of excitement on the faces of Qing Mu and Mr. Ono.

Having planned for so long, they finally had it! From this day forward, the two of them would be heroes of the Fusang Empire!

Looking inside at the thick stack of document bags, Mr. Ono reached for one and opened it with an excited expression.

But as he saw the contents clearly, he couldn't help but let out a curse: "Damn it! Mr. Qing Mu, we've been duped!"

Saying this, Mr. Ono tossed the documents in front of Yun Hanrui: "Is this your research material?"

The scattered documents fell to the ground, clearly showing Crayon Shin-chan and Sailor Moon manga!
