He sighed and then glanced at Cha Can.
"Is there another safe in here?"
The gold bricks in this case were valuable, certainly, but obviously not as valuable as that piece of White Crescent Jade Bi.
"This..."
Upon hearing Xu Fan's interrogation, Cha Can's eyes suddenly drifted away.
The guilty look confirmed Xu Fan's suspicions.
"This..."
"Spit it out or you're dead!"
Before Cha Can could figure out how to bluff his way through, one of Zhang Shicun's men kicked him.
With a cry, Cha Can fell to the ground and struggled for a while before clumsily getting up.
"Okay... okay, I'll take you there," he said.
Reluctantly shaking his head, Cha Can rose to his feet and led Xu Fan to another safe.
"This one contains a treasure collected by Hu Dewu. He values it highly and it can only be opened with his fingerprint," Cha Can explained helplessly as they reached the safe.
"Are you sure?"
At that moment, one of Zhang Shicun's men gave Cha Can an intimidating look.
"Stop pressuring him, this guy isn't lying," Xu Fan said, shifting his gaze from the safe to dissuade Zhang Shicun's man.
Indeed, the safe could only be opened with both a password and a fingerprint.
If they tried to force it open, they might destroy the White Crescent Jade Bi inside.
Thinking this, Xu Fan couldn't help but sigh.
The object of their pursuit was right in front of them yet inaccessible, which was utterly frustrating.
It looked like they would have to wait for Hu Dewu to return.
"Brother Xu Fan, Old Cat has arrived," Zhang Shicun announced, leading his men inside.
Xu Fan nodded and said, "Alright, let's head out."
He then led the group out of the warehouse.
Although the site had already been partly cleaned up, the bodies and blood on the floor still made it evident that a fierce battle had occurred earlier!
Old Cat yawned and shook his head as he looked at the five survivors in front of him.
The fact that they had won this battle could probably only be explained by one thing.
Because they were led by Xu Fan...
"Brother Xu, I've realized that you guys are the ones making a fortune here. Selling arms is really a poor man's business!" Old Cat exclaimed.
Just yesterday, they had bought some arms from him and had immediately resold a truckload back to him.
If it weren't for his limited capabilities, Old Cat would likely have joined them by now.
"BOSS, the count is done!"
At that moment, the man responsible for counting the arms came over and briefed Old Cat on the situation.
Old Cat said, "The arms here total forty million; what do you think?"
Xu Fan nodded without objection; Old Cat had offered the market rate, and with so many arms to dispose of, selling them back to Old Cat seemed the only option.
With the approval, things became much easier. Old Cat promptly transferred the money to Xu Fan's account and loaded the arms onto the truck he had brought with him.
Xu Fan could tell by Old Cat's joyful expression that this deal would earn him tens of millions at the very least!
"Old Cat, I'm not sure, apart from arms, do you handle other businesses as well?"
"Hmm?" Old Cat was startled, feeling a bit puzzled. Knowing Xu Fan fairly well, Xu Fan usually did things that were humane...
"Are you talking about the stuff that's grown here?" Old Cat asked doubtfully.
"I, Xu Fan, have my principles. I'm certainly not talking about those things," Xu Fan shook his head and explained.
If it weren't for the plans they had later, Xu Fan would have had his men burn all the poppies Hu Dewu had planted here to the ground much earlier.
"So what are you referring to?" Old Cat asked puzzledly.
Xu Fan smiled slightly and said, "I've got a truckload of gold bricks here, probably worth over a hundred million. I'm too lazy to bother, one hundred million, I'll just hand it over to you. How does that sound?"
"What?"
Old Cat was shocked, but seeing Xu Fan's serious expression, he seemed not to be lying.
"Where is it, can you take me to see?"
Xu Fan nodded and said to Zhang Shicun beside him, "Zhang Shicun, take Old Cat to see Hu Dewu's gold bricks!"
"Heh heh, sure thing!"
Zhang Shicun rubbed his hands together and then led Old Cat toward the warehouse.
After a short while, Old Cat and Zhang Shicun came out of the warehouse again, only this time Old Cat's face was glowing golden.
Although he hadn't stumbled upon so many gold bricks himself, if he could resell so many gold bricks, he might make a fortune!
"How am I to put this?" Old Cat was still excited. He looked at the five people and laughed, "Working with you has been the most satisfying experience of my life!"
"This time, I, Old Cat, owe you, White Crescent, a favor. If you ever come to Southeast Asia again and run into trouble, please be sure to find me!"
Old Cat had risen to where he was today by building relationships. Today, Xu Fan had allowed him to make so much money, which was undoubtedly a great favor. He swore that if Xu Fan ever needed his help in the future, he would definitely step forward!
Right after, Old Cat had his men empty all the gold bricks from the warehouse.
Luckily, the scale of the vehicles he had brought was not small, so loading up the gold bricks was not too much trouble.
However, the arms earlier and now these gold bricks, Xu Fan had effectively emptied his liquid assets!
"Old Cat, there's one more thing, I need a favor from you."
At that moment, Old Cat's men had finished loading the goods, and Xu Fan glanced at Old Cat, then said, "Have your people help us quickly restore this place to its original state."
"What?"
Hearing Xu Fan's request, not only Old Cat, but Qin Mengyue and Zhang Shicun as well as others were all baffled.
Now that Hu Dewu's stronghold had been taken down, they wondered what Xu Fan was planning by restoring the place to its original state.
"Xu Fan, what are you up to?"
At that moment, Qin Mengyue looked at Xu Fan and asked curiously.
She realized she was somewhat unable to keep up with Xu Fan's train of thought.
Not just her, Zhang Shicun and the others were also waiting for his explanation.
Xu Fan squinted and smiled, saying, "What? You all had enough fun?"
"You haven't forgotten, the most important person hasn't returned yet, have you?"
"This..."
Upon hearing Xu Fan's explanation, everyone immediately understood.
Although they had subdued the mercenaries at this base, the boss Hu Dewu still hadn't returned.
If they didn't deal with him, even if they killed off these men, that guy could rise again.
"Xu Fan, do we continue?"
Qin Mengyue shook her head and asked.
After a fierce fight just now, everyone was nearly exhausted. How could they face another battle?
Keep in mind, Hu Dewu was not coming back alone, but with the region's top warlord, General Dragon!
