With Qin Fang's order, Chen Da couldn't care less about anything else and quickly summoned a few people before heading to the room that held the safe.
This room was a dark chamber within the base, normally off-limits to most people; it was used to store some particularly important items.
For instance, the weapons, ammunition, and even explosives in Chen Da and his crew's possession were all stored in similar dark chambers.
Li Rui wielded considerable power in Ninghai, with eyes and ears everywhere. Just one glimpse at the street urchins scurrying around out there said it all—they were all directly or indirectly under his control...
If such a person really wanted to make a move against Chen Da and his group, he might not even need to send someone for a direct confrontation. Simply by orchestrating the strength of the righteous path, that alone would be enough to give Chen Da and his crew a tough time.
Qin Fang was on pretty good terms with Ye Heng, but even Ye Heng didn't have total control over the entire police system; there were inevitably those among them who belonged to Li Rui or wanted to suck up to him...
These people might not dare to lay a finger on Qin Fang, but they wouldn't hold such reservations towards Chen Da and his team. They would definitely seize the opportunity to confiscate those powerful weapons, and even with Qin Fang's backing, Chen Da and his crew would be at a loss for words. Thus, the emergence of these dark chambers.
The safe brought by Qin Fang was not something to be seen in broad daylight. The thousands of delinquents wandering outside in search of clues and the whereabouts of the safe; if anyone were to let slip even a hint, Li Rui's men would surely come knocking...
As for the now flustered Li Rui, the contents of the safe posed such a great threat to him that he had stopped bothering to hold back. As long as he could recover those items, he didn't care about losing some insignificant things...
Loss of money, territory, or power were all acceptable to him because the Li Family's influence and foundation remained. Li Rui was still here, and any losses could eventually be reclaimed.
If the contents of the safe were exposed, it would be a catastrophe for the Li Family, something he definitely didn't want to see happen.
"Young Master Qin, I've checked, this safe is said to be the safest in the world, almost impossible to open. Are you confident about handling it?"
Chen Da and the others had arrived, and everyone quickly gathered. Wei Suo, who never got up before the third watch, seemed to be an early bird today, showing up although he still looked sleepy and his clothes were a mess, clearly thrown on in haste.
The urgency came from his notice of the safe as soon as Qin Fang brought it in, leading him to research its origin specifically.
He got quite a scare upon learning about it; although he was an all-around lackey with decent skills, he was clueless when faced with such a sophisticated safe.
He had assumed Qin Fang would resort to brute force to break into the safe, but upon arrival, without a single tool in hand, Qin Fang claimed he could open it—Wei Suo was naturally surprised and puzzled. Upon hearing this news, he couldn't even bear to sleep in and hurried over.
"The safest safe in the world, there's no such thing as the safest on this planet..."
Upon hearing Wei Suo's words, Qin Fang just smiled indifferently, his tone calm but with a reliability that made people believe in his words.
"Really confident? That's fantastic... Tsk, items stored in a safe worth tens of millions are certainly no ordinary trinkets. I'm curious to see what's inside..."
Wei Suo didn't dwell on minor details. Since Qin Fang said it was possible, it clearly was. Believing him somewhat, he anxiously waited for the result.
Qin Fang didn't say much more. Looking at the massive safe in front of him, he took a deep breath before making a move that left everyone agape—he kicked the thick alloy door of the safe ferociously...
The alloy door was extremely sturdy—Qin Fang's kick was powerful, but far from enough to damage it.
Instead, the safe almost seemed to shift a few centimeters on the spot, and the body wobbled slightly as if it might topple over, but in the end, it stood firm.
"Lockpicking in progress..."
Following Qin Fang's kick, the Lockpicking Skill began to show a progress bar, and Qin Fang's heart also tensed up, anxiously awaiting the outcome.
The others felt the same way. Qin Fang's inconceivable method of lockpicking made them feel as though they were out of their depth, but they didn't think too much about it. Seeing Qin Fang waiting for the safe to unlock, they too held their breath in anticipation.
The skill's progress bar moved swiftly, and though it seemed an eternity to Qin Fang—others might feel time drag by days, but for Qin Fang, it was like years waiting for mere seconds...
The progress bar marched on without a pause or hitch, inching ever closer to the end, and Qin Fang's heart clenched tighter.
Finally—
Click~~
When the progress bar of the skill reached its end, Qin Fang immediately heard a light click in his ears, almost identical to the sounds he had listened to all night. A smile finally appeared on his face.
Almost the moment that sound was made, every person present couldn't help but feel their hearts skip a beat along with the click of the safe lock.
However, they quickly recovered, with each person's face showing an excited smile, especially the jack-of-all-trades underling Wei Suo, whose sleazy eyes gleamed with surprising brilliance.
"This is considered the world's safest vault…"
One could faintly hear him muttering this under his breath, making the others around him shake their heads lightly in amusement.
The safe was finally opened, and Qin Fang felt like a huge weight was lifted from his heart. He grabbed the massive and sturdy handle, exerting a lot of strength to pull the thick alloy door, slowly revealing the items stored within bit by bit.
"Hiss~~"
And as the safe was gradually opened, the surrounding people began to clearly see the contents inside, many of them couldn't help but suck in a breath of air.
When the safe was fully pulled open, illuminated by the light, everything inside was laid bare—pile after pile of bright red cash, neatly stacked there, forming a small mountain.
"Wow…"
Although Chen Da's men were former special forces soldiers who used to face the threat of death without changing their countenance, they had now left the military and become normal people.
Confronted with such a large sum of money, they had the same reaction as any normal person would—uncontrollably letting out a shout of surprise.
"Damn, so much money…"
Qin Fang's underling, Wei Suo, just like his name suggests, upon seeing the piles and piles of bright red cash, was completely dumbfounded, saliva uncontrollably dripping out of his mouth.
Although this kid was not short of money now and had seen some cash before, this was the first time in his life he had seen so much cash...
"And there are gold bars…"
This kid's eyes were particularly sharp. Beneath the dazzling cash, he could see a layer of glittering gold objects stacked there. Despite some obstructions, they were still faintly visible.
If it was stored in such a safe and was golden-yellow, then it was certainly no doubt gold bars—Li Rui wouldn't be so poor as to store something worthless inside.
This safe was very large. Although the walls of the vault were already thick, the interior space was still very large and was divided into several levels, each layer holding different things.
Inside, the most abundant and most conspicuous item was naturally the cash, piled up like a mountain. Neat bundles were stacked together, placed squarely, truly delivering a powerful visual impact...
"This... there's probably not less than a hundred million in cash!"
Chen Da was older and more seasoned. Looking at the cash piled up like a mountain, he took a rough glance and couldn't help but murmur so.
With each stack worth ten thousand, basically, a pile of thirty centimeters in length, width, and height would be ninety million. And now, their simple visual estimate showed that the width and height seemed to be around thirty, but the length was clearly more than thirty. Based on this calculation, indeed, there might be as much as a hundred million.
Although Qin Fang himself was also worth several hundred millions, that number in the bank was just a simple digit. This was a completely different concept from having a hundred million in cash right in front of him.
Now he understood what it was like to have a hundred million laid out in front of him...
That is—this money, is freaking a lot!
It wasn't just Qin Fang who thought this way; almost everyone who saw the cash had the same thought in their minds.
A hundred million in cash was truly shocking, causing these brave and fearless soldiers to be spellbound, their eyes bulging out, and they still hadn't completely recovered even now.
Although the money wasn't theirs, being able to feast their eyes on it was quite satisfying. Later in life when they were retired, they could proudly tell their children, "You call that little money cash? Back in my day, a hundred million in cash was laid out in front of your old man, and I didn't even blink…" (To be continued.
