Urban Soldier Young Master

Chapter 864 - 863: Basement

Looking at the hidden elevator in the wall, everyone was dumbfounded, a herd of alpacas running amok in their minds.There's no denying it, this design was absolutely genius, even though none of these detectives were rookies, the location of this mechanism completely defied their expectations.

Not to mention, the crack in the wall looked just like a piece of irregularly split wall skin, extremely deceptive in this dimly lit warehouse. Just climbing onto that machine and balancing on one foot in such a narrow space was already a daunting task.

Moreover, from Chu Ge's current foothold to the elevator hidden in the wall, there was still more than a two-meter gap.

This... this is so freaking despicable, isn't it? Is this supposed to be a secret door or a gymnastics test? A normal person would struggle just to stand steady, let alone get across.

"The password is zero-zero-five-four-four, I'm going in first."

Chu Ge tossed out these words, pushed off with one foot, and leaped forward, landing steadily in the elevator that could only fit two people at once.

The wall began to close, and in the silence, suddenly a voice rang out, "Bastard! Catch this!"

As the voice echoed, a sharp "whoosh" followed, and a jet-black Type 92 handgun spun through the air, flying toward the secret door that was about to shut.

Chu Ge reached out, skillfully catching the gun in his hand, and before the wall closed, he flashed a bright smile, revealing his white teeth in the gaze of everyone.

Watching Chu Ge's figure disappear, Mu Lingshan laughed and cried. Her feelings at the moment were dreamlike, almost beyond words.

When Chu Ge spoke his first sentence just now, she alone didn't turn around. Not because she didn't want to see Chu Ge's figure immediately, but because she feared she might have misheard, worried that if she turned around, it might just be her illusion.

"No! No! I'll talk, I'll say everything... We planned to kill you, we're involved in smuggling people from Hua Country to South Korea, we print counterfeit money, we... No, no, no!"

Amid an eerie silence, suddenly a voice filled with extreme fear babbled on, and the police turned to see that it was the man Chu Ge had thrown at Lin Gaoze's feet earlier.

This man was precisely the one who had repeatedly conspired to harm Chu Ge—Little Bai.

Although Chu Ge had confirmed that there was something wrong with this warehouse late last night, he hadn't checked it out himself. So, after contacting Chen Jue early this morning, he seized an opportunity to capture the isolated Little Bai, according to information provided by Chen Jue's people.

Since he captured Little Bai, Chu Ge was naturally unrelenting, aiming to uncover the motives of these South Koreans' presence in Lidu and to understand if there was anything in this warehouse that might perplex Lin Gaoze—something hard to detect.

As for the third reason, ha ha ha... it was to settle scores with Little Bai.

Chu Ge was well-practiced in interrogation, or rather, it was his forte. He had the means to make life unbearable, leaving no way out.

Little Bai remained stubborn at first, but under Chu Ge's ruthless tactics, he finally couldn't withstand it, divulging everything he knew.

He feared death at the hands of those South Koreans for revealing these things, but the torment he'd endure if he didn't speak was even more unbearable.

Satisfied with the answers, Chu Ge drove the Range Rover that Chen Jue had prepared for him to this place, arriving just in time.

Mu Lingshan wiped her tears, lowered her head to look at Little Bai, who had suddenly been jolted awake and was trembling relentlessly, and walked over step by step. Without a word, she raised her foot and stomped heavily on Little Bai's head.

"Thud! Thud! Thud!"

Mu Lingshan stomped three times, leaving Little Bai, who had just awoken from a nightmare, with blood gushing from his nose and mouth, plunging him back into the nightmare.

For shouting that they planned to kill Chu Ge, Mu Lingshan wished she could crush his head. Those three fierce stomps barely vented a fraction of her fury.

Including Lin Gaoze, a dozen police officers watching were all hit with a jolt, their lips quivering at the horror of her calm expression paired with such vicious actions.

The youths playing mahjong in the warehouse earlier shrank in utter submission, crouching with their heads cradled, wishing they could bury their heads in their laps.

After knocking Little Bai unconscious, Mu Lingshan immediately turned and headed toward the broken machine Chu Ge had leaped onto. As she walked, she took a deep breath, and moments before reaching it, she sprinted forward, leaping high to land at the small foothold in a movement almost identical to Chu Ge's.

Gulp...

Watching Mu Lingshan stand there exuding such heroic grace, many detectives instinctively swallowed. Who knew their deputy captain was not only beautiful but also so skilled? That move was simply impressive!

Though it sounds complicated, from Mu Lingshan's three fierce stomps on Little Bai to her leap onto the high platform was only a matter of seconds.

During this time, a faint thump was heard from the warehouse, indicating the elevator Chu Ge was in had reached underground.

Lin Gaoze furrowed his brow, "Lingshan, get down. How can we let a woman like you charge ahead?"

Mu Lingshan slightly raised the corners of her mouth, "I'm not just a woman, I'm their deputy team leader, and more importantly, a police officer."

Lin Gaoze opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing. His gaze towards Mu Lingshan was filled with admiration.

The other detectives bowed their heads in silent embarrassment. When they raised them again, their eyes were burning with a passionate glow.

In truth, there was another sentence Mu Lingshan hadn't said, and that was for her, being able to fight alongside the man she loved the most was the greatest happiness, even if danger lay ahead, it was paradise on earth!

Since the first time she was saved by Chu Ge, she realized her immense deficiencies, the weakness of her abilities. Since then, she never stopped her rigorous training.

She firmly believed that she was no longer a burden to Chu Ge. No matter what kind of enemy she faced, she would definitely be able to lend Chu Ge a helping hand!

Although Mu Lingshan's face still had two faint tear stains, her gaze was so determined, her smile so serene. She extended her left hand, and her slender yet strong fingers quickly tapped several numbers.

"Try me? What a brain-dead password, ha... I'll try it!"

With a slight creaking sound, the lift ascended again, the deceptively strong walls parted to the sides. Mu Lingshan leapt up and with a "thump", her feet landed steadily on the lift a few meters away.

In the eyes of the police, as the wall closed, it left behind a dashing figure.

At this moment, Mu Lingshan truly achieved what she had always wanted to prove: that women are no less than men!

Lin Gaoze took a deep breath, twisting his neck from side to side, a series of crackling sounds filled the air. He looked at his subordinates, a group of detectives, and shouted loudly, "Damn it! Letting a woman lead the charge! Aren't we, these so-called men, ashamed?"

No one made a sound, but their faces turned beet red.

"Xiao Gao, Xiao Li, you two stay with Xiao Zhang and Xiao Wang at the door, keep an eye on these people, especially this kid!"

Lin Gaoze swept his gaze over the two detectives' faces and kicked the unconscious Xiao Bai.

"The rest, follow me and keep up with Captain Mu! Whoever can't jump up might as well be ashamed of what's in their pants and that rod of theirs! Don't call yourselves men anymore!"

"Yes!"

This was the first time the police heard such words from Lin Gaoze, but though crude, the words rang true. Each person's blood was ignited by this statement.

After finishing, Lin Gaoze made another phone call, issuing orders to the undercover police stationed in the Zhiling Company's office building.

"Rush into Zhiling Headhunting Company immediately, take control of the situation inside, and if you encounter resistance, you are permitted to fire!"

Based on what Xiao Bai said earlier, Lin Gaoze had no hesitation. Smuggling, printing counterfeit currency, it was no problem to execute them on the spot!

Meanwhile, in the warehouse's basement.

As the lift descended, Chu Ge unlocked the safety on his Type 92 pistol, carefully listening to the surrounding sounds, ready to shoot at any moment.

Accompanied by the slight sound of metal friction, the lift descended quickly. As the doors opened, a brightly lit scene unfolded before Chu Ge's eyes.

The basement wasn't particularly large, but definitely not small either. Chu Ge held his pistol, surveying the area, and immediately spotted several machines: a paper cutter, a printing press, an exposure machine, along with a bed, a table, and some other items.

It seemed, just as Xiao Bai said, this was the counterfeit currency production lair of Li Zheming's group.

The only regret was that Chu Ge hadn't found any counterfeit currency or the templates needed for its production yet. Just having these machines wasn't enough to prove anything.

The entire basement was empty, except for these machines; there were only some scattered food wrappers and a few drink bottles on the ground, signs that someone had been here.

"Ran away quite fast, and cleaned up pretty well."

Chu Ge sneered as he held his breath and scanned the surroundings, holding the gun and moving forward swiftly.

For these cunning and vicious opponents, he would never let his guard down. Even if the place seemed clear, who knew if someone might suddenly fire at him from a hidden corner.

Quickly, Chu Ge reached the end of the basement. No unexpected events occurred during this process, and his eyes scanned every corner of the basement.

It appeared that those who had been here had all left.

The reason he judged that there had been people here, rather than there never having been anyone, was because on the ground he saw half a pizza slice, and when he touched it, it was still warm.
