Chapter 150: Interrogation, Extortion, and Gains (2)

The three of them looked bitter. “Sir, look at us. We don’t even have proper clothes and can’t take anything out.”

“I also know your difficulties. However, you were once the overlords of a faction, so you naturally accumulated a lot of wealth outside. I don’t believe that you don’t have any secret vaults, secret compartments, or other hiding places.”

The eyes of the three of them flickered and they were stunned in the distance.

Lin Yan didn’t want to force them too much. He said, “Don’t worry, I’m not an insatiable person. I don’t have any need for gold or silver. It’s just an equivalent exchange. I’ll take a few things from your secret vaults. I can’t possibly get no benefits after saving your lives and giving you such a precious antidote, right?” When the three of them heard this, they relaxed. “Sir, you’re right!”

Lin Yan immediately took out a brush and paper and got them to write down the location of their factions and the exact addresses of the hiding places.

He originally wanted to coerce the three of them to write down their secret martial arts books and insights, but there was not enough time. Moreover, he was worried that the three of them would be angry and turn to the fake City Lord’s side. The gains would not make up for the losses, so he did not do so. However, he seemed to have been wrong. The pride in their hearts had long been worn away by the fact that they could die any moment. They would do anything to survive, so they wrote very happily.

Looking at the ink marks that had yet to dry, Lin Yan handed the antidotes to the three of them. “I came from the other end of the poisonous fog. The poisonous fog is very long, and one antidote is far from enough. If you want to escape, you can try… Yang Zheng, eat the antidote first. I’ll watch you eat it.”

Yang Zheng’s expression changed slightly. He glanced at Hong Xi and Lin Yuantu and saw that the two of them really revealed uncontrollable desire and ferocity in their eyes. His expression changed drastically and he swallowed the antidote in one gulp.

“You guys, eat it too!”

A trace of regret flashed across Hong Xi and Lin Yuantu’s faces as they also took the antidote.

“Just wait in peace. You’ll be saved in a few hours at most.”

With that, Lin Yan passed through the poisonous fog without looking back and disappeared.

Only the three people behind him were left. They looked at each other with fear and anticipation on their faces. Helpless, they returned to the poisonous fog and mined again.

He returned the way he came, lit a torch, climbed the precipices, crossed the waterfall, and jumped up layer by layer. On the way, his claw marks and iron nails became the best road signs. Soon, Lin Yan returned to the ground and saw the light of day again.

He lowered his hand to block the sun.

After adapting to the sunlight a moment later, his figure was like lightning. He immediately set off, passing through the mountains and forests, and rushed back to Ding’an City.

He first went to the Hong family. The Hong family occupied an extremely large area. Now, it was occupied by another faction he did not recognize.

Fortunately, the three of them had unanimously built the secret vault in a remote place. Lin Yan sneaked in silently and quickly arrived at a remote Buddhist hall. According to Hong Xi, he moved a stone brick in the third slot on the left and tenth slot on the front.

Below was an iron box made of fine iron and protected with a huge lock.

However, this lock was useless to him now. He forcefully broke the lock and opened the box. Golden light immediately flashed.

“There’s quite a lot of gold bars!”

However, what attracted Lin Yan’s attention the most was the eight Spirit Marrows placed in the corner!

Seven ungraded ones, one first-grade. It was not a lot, but it was much more useful than gold bars.

In addition, there were many dried herbs. They looked extremely good.

“Not bad!”

Lin Yan closed the metal box and carried it away immediately.

He was talking about an equivalent exchange and taking a few items, but he did not specify how many.

If he took them all away, wouldn’t he also be taking a few?

Next was the Fuwei Escort Agency and the Green Alliance…

Two hours later, Lin Yan abandoned the metal box and wrapped everything in a large blanket. He carried it on his back and jumped out of the Green Alliance.

To him, the most valuable Spirit Marrows, worth Nine Wisdoms, and three secret manuals were all found in the Green Alliance. One was a secret technique, and the other two were miscellaneous.

Coupled with other herbs, gold, and silver, it could be said that he had captured the precious collections of the three Noble Realm factions in one fell swoop and gained a lot!

Carrying a large bag, he shook off the group of gangsters and went straight to the wealthy mansion where the Demon Suppression Division was currently stationed.

“Stop! Who are you?!”

There were already two well-equipped guards guarding the door. They raised their sabers and stopped Lin Yan.

“Senior Brother Lin!”

Lin Yan was about to take out the Demon Suppression Division token when someone suddenly shouted. Behind the door, a guard who was clearly dressed better and looked like a captain walked out. It was Lou Xing.

“Senior Brother Lin, why are you here?!”

Lou Xing waved his hand. The two people at the door put away their knives and he welcomed Lin Yan in.

Lin Yan sized him up.

A hint of embarrassment and pride appeared on Lou Xing’s face. “Lord Xiao promoted me. Now, I’m also a subordinate guard of the Demon Suppression Division!”

It seemed that the Demon Suppression Division did not care about secrecy anymore.

Lou Xing’s face was obviously much more mature than before. He was a completely different person from the cunning and inexperienced young man Lin Yan had seen at Dragon Gate Pavilion.

Lin Yan nodded. “I’m here to look for Issuer Liu and Deputy Issuer Wu. Are they here?”

“Deputy Issuer is inside. You can go in yourself.”

Carrying the big bag, Lin Yan entered the inner room.

This place was originally a living room. At this moment, all the miscellaneous items were cleaned up. There were yellow lanterns hanging on the top. In the middle, there were four large mahogany tables. There were more than ten people in black and red uniforms sitting there. They looked excited and wrote quickly.

Some of them were young and some were middle-aged. They looked like rich people. When they saw him enter, they glanced at him from the corner of their eyes.

Wu Qinglei, on the other hand, was sitting on a recliner in boredom. He swayed as he drank tea.

“Lin Yan?”

Wu Qinglei was rather surprised to see Lin Yan. “You’re carrying so many bags. Are you planning to move here?”

Lin Yan’s heart skipped a beat. “I can move in?”

Wu Qinglei raised his eyebrows slightly. “You really want to move in? Sure, but you have to do something! Now that the Demon Suppression Division is stationed in Ding’an City, we’re temporarily taking over the affairs of Ding’an City. Everything is complicated, and we’re short of manpower. As for you, it’s not a problem for you to be the captain of the patrol unit!”

Lin Yan didn’t know what the captain of the patrol unit was, but the dozen or so people sitting in the middle all revealed looks of disbelief as they stared at Lin Yan with widened eyes.

“Let’s talk about this later. Is Issuer Liu around? I have important information!”

“Huh?” The laziness on Wu Qinglei’s face immediately faded. He suddenly sat up, and his face seemed to come alive. He knocked on the edge of the chair. “Good fellow, there’s more information? You’re really a treasure bag! Is it about the ruins?”

Lin Yan shook his head. “No, it’s related to the fake City Lord. I… found where he is!”

Wu Qinglei suddenly stood up, his eyes wide open.. “You’re not joking, right?!”
