Chapter 56: Fifty-five, Harvest

“When you are dead, go ask Yama Raja,” Xiao Hu waved his hand at his subordinate and coldly ordered, “Fire!”

As Xiao Hu gave the order, Lu Hanmo had already swiftly picked up Luo Shu and dashed behind the sofa. When he had made his decision, he had already chosen a position that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

However, to his surprise, the sound of gunfire did not ring out; instead, there was a succession of thuds as heavy objects hit the floor.

Using the sofa for cover, Lu Hanmo carefully peered out, only to see Xiao Hu and his men lying powerless on the ground.

Lu Hanmo looked around in confusion, but he didn’t see anyone else present.

“They’ve been hit with the sedative I laid down, they won’t be able to move for three hours,” Luo Shu stood up and said with a smile. These men all had very good constitutions; ordinary people would have gone down within half a minute.

“When did you dose them? Why wasn’t I affected?” Lu Hanmo asked in astonishment, looking at Luo Shu.

“Because I already gave you the antidote,” Luo Shu said with a sly smile, stepping out from behind the sofa.

Lu Hanmo shook his head with a smile, his eyes filled with indulgence and tenderness as he watched Luo Shu.

Approaching Xiao Hu, Lu Hanmo saw him looking back with a chilly glare. Bending down, Lu Hanmo pressed the gun against Xiao Hu’s head, “Tell me, who leaked my information?”

“Falling into your hands today, it’s just my bad luck, Xiao Hu. If you want to know who told me, you can kiss that hope goodbye! Hahaha…” Xiao Hu’s eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty desire to kill as he let out a ghastly laugh. The laughter was mocking and eerily cold, chilling to the marrow!

But the next moment, his laughter abruptly stopped.

“Your laughter is really unpleasant.” Luo Shu stepped forward and handed a dagger to Lu Hanmo, “Brother Lu, I’ve already hit his mute point, the dagger is for you.”

Lu Hanmo took the dagger, grabbed Xiao Hu’s hand, and with a swing, a streak of blood flashed by as he severed the tendons in Xiao Hu’s right hand, “If you’re willing to talk, just nod your head. Otherwise, I will cut all the tendons in your hands and feet. Even if you survive, you’ll spend your life as a cripple,” he said, knowing well the greatest weaknesses of a person from interrogating criminals.

Xiao Hu’s face turned pale with pain, cold sweat soaking his back, but he still bit down hard, glaring fiercely at Lu Hanmo with a terrifyingly sinister look, “I won’t tell you,” he mouthed silently.

Lu Hanmo coldly curled his lips and, without hesitation, swung his hand down again, severing the tendons in Xiao Hu’s other hand.

Xiao Hu screamed in silence, his mouth wide open. Now, his biggest regret was that he hadn’t taken Lu Hanmo out with a single shot when he first discovered his identity.

“Are you going to talk or not?” Lu Hanmo looked down at Xiao Hu with an ice-cold chill on his resolute face, his eyes devoid of any emotion as he slowly moved the dagger downward.

Seeing Lu Hanmo like this, a flicker of fear arose in Xiao Hu’s heart. He knew Lu Hanmo was a man of decisive actions, but he didn’t dare to reveal that person’s name. If he did, his death would be equally horrific. Moreover, his achievements today were also inseparably linked to that person.

Luo Shu silenced several men on the ground with the mute point and looked at Lu Hanmo. Seeing that he had the situation under control, she walked towards the study.

As she pushed open the doors of the study, Luo Shu was instantly stunned by the scene before her. This wasn’t a study; it was practically an antique display hall!

In the study, the tea tables and desks, sandwiched by rows of shelves lining the walls, all held antiques and jade pieces clearly of some age.

Luo Shu flashed a smile and unceremoniously swept all the things she had taken a liking to into her own space.

After doing all this, Luo Shu once again carefully examined the study, only to discover something peculiar about a painting hanging on the wall.

Walking up to it, she reached out to take down the painting and found a secret door behind it.

She pushed hard, but the secret door wouldn’t budge. Luo Shu took a few steps back and began searching the room inch by inch for a mechanism that could open the door.

After a while, her gaze settled on a pen holder on the desk.

She approached the desk and slowly started to twist one of the brushes, a black wolf-hair brush resting in the pen holder.

As she gently turned the brush, a “click!” sound followed, and looking up, she saw that the secret door had automatically opened.

Luo Shu hurried forward and saw that behind the door was a cabinet about two meters square, divided into three layers—top, middle, and bottom.

The top had documents and the like, while the middle was filled with gold bars, jewels, and stacks of cash. What puzzled her was that the bottom layer only contained a pitch-black stone the size of a basketball.

After some thought, Luo Shu took the stone into her space. As for the documents, gold bars, jewelry, and cash, she didn’t touch them. She was indeed tempted, but her space was her biggest secret, and if she took everything, it would definitely arouse suspicion.

Regarding the items she had just taken, they were only a small part of what was in the study. Even if someone noticed, they wouldn’t think much of it. After all, who would imagine she had a space capable of holding countless items on her person?

Upon leaving the study, she saw Xiao Hu lying on the ground, having fainted from the pain.

“Brother Lu, I found some things,” Luo Shu pointed behind her to the study.

Lu Hanmo nodded and stepped towards Luo Shu. He was not in a good mood, for he had tried every method, but still could not get any information out of Xiao Hu.

“The top layer is all documents; take a look and see if there is anything useful for you,” Luo Shu said, pointing to the stack on the top shelf of the cabinet.

“Hmm!” Lu Hanmo approached, took the stack of documents, sat down at the desk, and slowly began flipping through them.

The more Lu Hanmo read, the darker his expression grew. The documents detailed all the evil deeds Xiao Hu had committed over the years, each one more horrifying and infuriating than the last. Yet, after going through all the documents, there was still no information about the person behind Xiao Hu.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!” Several gunshots rang out from outside.

Startled, Lu Hanmo made a gesture to Luo Shu, signaling her to find a place to hide, before quickly ducking behind the door.

Peeking through the crack, he saw Qin Yue arrive with reinforcements.

Relieved, Lu Hanmo turned back to look at Luo Shu, who was hiding behind the desk, “Qin Yue has come with people; let’s go out.”

As they left the study and saw what was outside, Lu Hanmo’s face immediately became as stern as ice. Xiao Hu and his men had already been killed by the people Qin Yue brought. Xiao Hu’s death meant the clue to that person was lost.
