After Lin Xi left Shangguan's house, he bought a bottle of inhalation anesthetic on the way.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Lin Xi returned to Yunyang's apartment.

Yun Yang was sitting on the sofa, reading "City of Dark Night" in his hand, when he saw Lin Xi coming in, he put the book in his hand on the coffee table, and asked, "Xiaoxi, why did you come back?" ”

Lin Xi smiled and said, "Anyway, I came back early, and I had nothing to do, so I walked around." ”

Lin Xi and Yun Yang chatted casually and then returned to the guest bedroom.

In the guest bedroom, she held a treasure bottle borrowed from Shangguan Yide in one hand and a bottle of inhalation anesthetic in the other.

At one o'clock in the morning, the door of the guest bedroom opened gently, and then Lin Xi tiptoed out.

It was dark and quiet in the living room.

Lin Xi took out his mobile phone and was about to take advantage of the bright light of the screen to walk to the entrance. A male voice suddenly came from the darkness: "Xiaoxi, is that you?" ”

This sudden sound frightened the mobile phone in Lin Xi's hand and almost fell to the floor.

Lin Xi lit up the phone screen, and then saw Yun Yang sitting quietly on the sofa in a white nightgown, his eyes were red and bloodshot, as if he had cried.

Lin Xi couldn't help frowning, and walked quickly to Yun Yang: "Yun Yang, what's wrong with you?" ”

Yun Yang didn't answer and asked: "Xiaoxi, it's so late, where are you going?" ”

"Grandpa Shangguan is not feeling well, call me to come over and take a look." Lin Xi casually lied, if she was going to the gangster boss's lair to save people, Yun Yang would never let her go.

Yun Yang hurriedly asked, "It's not serious, is it?" ”

"You don't have to worry, it's just an old problem, I'll just go over and get a few stitches."

"Then I'll send you there," Yun Yang said, standing up.

Lin Xi hurriedly waved his hand: "No need." ”

"It's not safe for girls to go out in the middle of the night."

Lin Xi disagreed: "You don't have to worry, my martial arts are so high, it's not safe for bad people to meet me." By the way, I'll lend you your car for another time. ”

"Even if you use it, then you should be careful when driving on the road."

Lin Xi nodded, then looked at Yun Yang with some concern, and asked softly, "Yun Yang, are you okay?" ”

Yun Yangqiang squeezed out a smile; "I'm fine."

"But you" Lin Xi looked at Yun Yang's crying eyes, and stopped talking.

Yun Yang smiled a little self-deprecatingly: "I'm just worried that I won't be able to be the leading actor in the movie "Night City". ”

Lin Xi deeply felt that if Yun Yang couldn't get the role of Wu You, he would definitely go crazy. She secretly vowed in her heart that she would help Yun Yang get this role.

Therefore, she became more and more determined to rescue Li Yue, who was kidnapped.

·····

At 2:50 in the morning, Lin Xi drove to the door of a mountain villa according to the address given by Ren Changfeng. Two tall street lamps cast a large white light on the clearing.

Lin Xi pushed the car door and got out of the car calmly. She was wearing a long black trench coat and carrying a black suitcase in her hand, and her whole temperament was cold. Looks, a bit like a social sister.

She took two steps forward and rang the doorbell. A moment later, the door opened, and a burly man walked out of the gate, under the white street lamp, the big man's face looked very cold, and Lin Xi noticed that the big man had a pistol pinned to his waist.

Lin Xi's heart couldn't help but tighten, and a chill also ran in his back.

But escaping is not her style. Lin Xi stood calmly in place.

Dahan looked Lin Xi up and down, and finally his gaze stayed on the heavy black handbag in her hand; "You're here to deliver the ransom?"

Lin Xi nodded.

"Are you armed?" Dahan looked at Lin Xi condescendingly, his eyes full of scrutiny and oppression.

Lin Xi tried to calm himself down, and said unhurriedly, "No." ”

The big man swept Lin Xi all over with a metal detector, not even letting go of her handbag.

Seeing that the detector did not sound an alarm from beginning to end, Dahan said in a robot-like cold tone, "Follow me." ”

Lin Xi followed Dahan through several courtyards, and along the way she met more than a dozen night watchmen. Lin Xi couldn't help but think of the night watchmen she saw in the court drama, but the night watchmen she had just seen were not wearing swords, but black and shiny pistols.

Lin Xi was deeply aware that she had really broken into the Longtan Tiger's Den tonight.

After walking along the endless bluestone road in the courtyard for about a quarter of an hour, the big man led Lin Xi to a large room.

The light in the room was bright, and Lin Xi saw at a glance that there was a tall and majestic middle-aged man sitting on the first wide back chair. It's undoubtedly a gang boss.

On the left and right of this person stood a dozen black-clothed men with guns at their waists.

The atmosphere in the room was very solemn, as if there were many hidden crossbows around it, and they could be triggered at any time.

Lin Xi knew that there was no turning back, but his heart calmed down.

"What's your name?" The middle-aged man looked at Lin Xi with a torch in his eyes and asked.

"Lin Xi." Lin Xi looked directly at the middle-aged man.

"You're here to save people?" The middle-aged man's voice was indifferent.

"Yes"

"Is the 50 million I said enough?" The middle-aged man glanced at the heavy black handbag in Lin Xi's hand.

"Yes." Lin Xi replied calmly.

The middle-aged man glanced at a subordinate standing next to him.

The subordinate walked up to Lin Xi and stretched out his hand, the meaning was self-evident.

Lin Xi held the bag firmly in his arms, and looked at the majestic gangster boss on the sandalwood chair opposite with a firm expression, and said; "I'm sorry, but I have to see that the person I'm trying to save is safe and sound before I can give you the money."

The middle-aged man said to a burly man with thick eyebrows and big eyes on the left; "Ah Biao, you go and bring people over."

"Yes, Boss." Ah Biao agreed, then turned and strode out of the room.

A few minutes later, Ah Biao led a young woman in.

The woman has willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, and her body is slender, exactly the same as the woman in the photo that Ren Changfeng showed her. Thinking about it, this woman must be Li Yue.

Lin Xi saw that Li Yue's eyes were full of fear when he looked at the middle-aged man, and was about to say a few words of comfort, but Li Yue spoke first: "Excuse me, are you here to save me?" ”

"Li Yue, don't be afraid, I will definitely take you out of here." Lin Xi said in a firm tone.

"Miss Lin, let's wait for me to check that the money is enough, and then say something like this." The middle-aged man sneered.

Lin Xi remembered that Ren Changfeng had said before that this middle-aged man might tear up the ticket even if he got the money. She's not going to give this guy a chance, though.

"Come and get it." Lin Xi calmly said to the middle-aged man sitting on the sandalwood chair.

The middle-aged man motioned to a subordinate named Ah Fei and brought the money to him.

Ah Fei took the heavy suitcase from Lin Xi's hand and put it on the table next to the middle-aged man, and then opened it, only to see that there were dozens of magazines inside.

The middle-aged man's face immediately became gloomy: "Miss Lin, can you explain what is going on?" ”

"Don't worry, sir. I have something for you, and it's worth far more than fifty million. After Lin Xi finished speaking, he unhurriedly took out a mahogany box from the pocket of his black windbreaker, and then took out a gourd-shaped bottle from the box and displayed it in front of everyone.

"This vase was dug up from an ancient tomb. It has a history of thousands of years. ”

With Lin Xi's explanation, the eyes of more than a dozen people in the room focused on the red treasure bottle in her hand.

Even Li Yue, who was held hostage by the bandits, looked curiously at the bottle in Lin Xi's hand.

Everyone saw that the bottle was crystal clear and emitted a red sun-like light. couldn't help but show a look of surprise and inexplicability.
