Chapter 1541 - 1531: Capture

Chapter 1541: Chapter 1531: Capture

Seeing the spectacle in front of them, everyone exclaimed, "Wow, so much money, so many silver and treasures." Jiang Cheng paused at the sight.

He didn’t expect such a hard journey, only to find money. Jiang Cheng couldn’t care less about money, he felt it was extraneous. Uninterested, he walked away.

Leaving the mountain top, Jiang Cheng wasted no time diving into the car and driving back to the tunnel entrance.

At the tunnel entrance, a team of surveillance experts gathered, their faces all showing the word "worry." Each had furrowed brows, eyes glued to the screen, fingers swiftly moving across the keyboard.

Jiang Cheng walked slowly behind one of the surveillance experts and asked, "Can we crack the tunnel?" The expert shook his head in frustration.

These people are too cunning. The tunnel entrance has many interference items, many devices can’t work properly, initially operating fine, and then the screen crashed.

Afterward, the expert pointed to the equipment placed in the corner, some screens showed blue, with rows of white English text in the center, somewhat dazzling.

Jiang Cheng patted the expert’s shoulder, "What about the other devices?" The expert looked troubled, "We’re trying to crack them, but their systems have layers of encryption and self-repair features. To crack without leaving traces might take a long time.

Jiang Cheng nodded, his gaze fixed on the tunnel ahead, lost in thought. Suddenly, he raised his head and asked his comrades, "Have you thought about using an explosion to open the tunnel?"

His comrade replied, "We’ve had experts evaluate it, and an explosion could cause a collapse, not only blocking our path but possibly alerting them. If they escape from other exits, it’d be much worse.

These words left Jiang Cheng and his comrades in silence. Jiang Cheng put his hands in his pockets, feet apart, eyes straight on the ground between Yan’s feet. Suddenly, his fingertips touched Stone Star in his pocket, and an idea sparked.

Jiang Cheng suddenly raised his head, and his comrade saw the gleam in his eyes, knowing he had an idea.

Jiang Cheng asked the surveillance expert, "How long does the tunnel system’s self-repair take?" "Only fifteen seconds." More than enough, Jiang Cheng thought silently.

Jiang Cheng controlled Stone Star, inputting commands to disrupt the system and then infiltrating inside. Stone Star received the order and immediately flew from Jiang Cheng’s heart.

Minutes later, "Tunnel system completely disrupted," the system issued a prompt.

Jiang Cheng smiled, "Countdown fifteen seconds start!"

Jiang Cheng quickly shifted his gaze back to Stone Star’s controller display, directing Stone Star’s flight. "Countdown thirteen seconds!"

Jiang Cheng glanced at the screen, about three hundred meters from the casino interior, "Twelve seconds, eight seconds left" with two hundred meters remaining, Jiang Cheng tightly clenched one hand, waving slightly, silently cheering Stone Star.

Everyone present, too, focused their gaze on Jiang Cheng like spotlights.

Six seconds. Five seconds. Four seconds" just under a hundred meters left, everyone watched Jiang Cheng and his display with intense anticipation and hope.

"Second!" The system shouted the last number, "Stone Star successfully flew in!" At that moment, Jiang Cheng also shouted, echoing the system’s voice or trying to surpass it.

Like a huge feat, the others applauded. Their locked frowns finally relaxed, some came to hug Jiang Cheng.

Inside the tunnel, Mo Xiao was pacing, "Ande, is it safe here? Won’t those agents found here?"

Ande laughed twice, patting his round belly, "Look at you, so disheveled. What are you afraid of? In my Ande’s place, those lousy agents are nothing."

Mo Xiao timidly asked, "Is it really okay? There’s someone named Jiang Cheng, very capable. My villa was taken down by him."

Ande disdainfully tugged his beard and smoothed it again, "Don’t worry, my protective system is heavily encrypted. Those lousy agents can’t break it, haha... I spent a fortune on it, absolutely no problem." Ande said, his facial flesh jiggle like dancing from afar.

At this point, Stone Star was slowly flying to Ande and Mo Xiao, circling them once.

Jiang Cheng watched the situation inside through the monitor, coldly humming, "Didn’t expect Ande to be so arrogant. Illegally running a casino, I’ll arrest you in a couple of days too."

In the tunnel, Ande felt something moving before his eyes, but didn’t think much of it. Soon, buzzing sounds echoed in his ears.

He rubbed his eyes and asked Mo Xiao, "Did you feel something flying in front of you?" This scared the slightly calmed Mo Xiao into a leap.

Mo Xiao widened his eyes, looked around, trembled, "Could it be an agent’s detector came in? What should... what should we do?" He then looked at Ande.

Ande was much calmer than Mo Xiao, his eyes glued to the flying object. Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and slammed Stone Star hard into his palm.

Outside the tunnel, Jiang Cheng sensed a tremor on the monitor; a bad feeling arose. Checking again, the display was a blur of red.

Damn, Stone Star got spotted. Jiang Cheng hastily operated and commanded Stone Star to transform into a fly.

Ande slowly opened his palm, when fully opened, he laughed, nearly bent over with laughter, "Look at you scared, it’s just a fly."

He held the transformed fly-like Stone Star in front of Mo Xiao, shook it gently, then laughed again, slapping it to toss the fly-like Stone Star into a corner.

Mo Xiao sighed in relief, wiping sweat from his forehead, flattering Ande, "Your protective system is formidable, simply perfect! Those agents probably can’t breach it."

Ande said, "Oh no, no, it seems there’s still a big flaw." This statement baffled Mo Xiao, "What, there’s still a flaw?" He asked Ande in confusion, fearing his praise might have gone awry.

Ande said, "Now a fly can come in, I’ll find someone in a couple of days to upgrade the system, making it impenetrable by even a fly!" After expressing this "grand ambition," Ande laughed again, Mo Xiao joined in.

At this moment, the fly-like Stone Star lay still in a corner, its secret switch flashing subtly, proving it was still transmitting inside images and sounds to Jiang Cheng outside.

Outside, the surveillance experts were already transferring Stone Star’s images and sounds to computers, each taking turns monitoring, capturing information. Jiang Cheng was also planning the capture of Ande and Mo Xiao.

Jiang Cheng thought to arrest Ande and Mo Xiao when they weren’t paying attention, then headed towards the tunnel with Mu Xue. Upon entering, Mu Xue couldn’t help but shiver, looking at the pitch-black walls around, her skin crawled.
