Chapter 251 Mu Wanqing: You stole Li Yuantu?
Chen Yifan walked out of the private room.
The corridor was covered with thick carpets, making it feel completely silent when you stepped on them.
The motion-sensor lights overhead extend forward with each step.
A guard with an arm stands every ten meters.
These people had an unusually consistent breathing rate; they were all cyborgs who had undergone rigorous modifications.
Chen Yifan had no intention of forcing his way in.
He pressed himself against the wall and activated the con artist mask.
The bones emitted a faint grinding sound, the muscle texture was reorganized, and the height increased by five centimeters.
His facial features were adjusted to resemble the waiter who had led the way.
Even the smallest details, like the folds in the uniform, are perfectly replicated.
He picked up a bottle of red wine from a cart in the corridor, lowered his head, and strode towards VIP room number one.
The security measures for VIP Box No. 1 are extremely high.
Four guards in heavy power armor stood outside the door, their helmets and visors glowing with a ghostly green scanning light.
"stop."
The guard on the left raised his mechanical arm and blocked their path.
No service is needed inside.
Chen Yifan stopped and moved the wine tray forward.
"The Lafite wine that Steward Fu ordered to be delivered is a special vintage."
The scanning beam from the guard's eyes swept over Chen Yifan's entire body.
There was no psionic reaction.
The light is withdrawn.
The guard pressed the door open button.
"Go in, put your things down, and get out."
The heavy alloy door slid open.
The temperature inside the private room was extremely low.
A thin layer of frost had formed on the wall.
The lights were off, only the spotlights from the auction stage below shone in, illuminating the gaunt figure on the sofa.
Li Yuantu.
The first in line to succeed the leader of the Beijing branch.
Instead of sitting on the sofa, he half-squatted in front of the one-way glass, his face pressed against the glass, greedily staring at the dark green crystal below.
"One billion."
Li Yuantu announced a new number into the microphone.
Mu Wanqing did not follow up; she had already given up.
Chen Yifan walked to the coffee table next to the sofa and put down the red wine.
He didn't rush to leave; his gaze went past Li Yuantu's shoulder and landed on the auction stage below the glass.
Uncle Fu is counting down.
"1.1 billion, three times. Sold. Congratulations to the VIP in Box 1."
The auction gavel fell.
This thing belongs to Li Yuantu.
Chen Yifan poured two glasses of wine and handed one of them over.
"Young Master Li, congratulations."
Li Yuantu turned his head.
He was so thin he was just skin and bones, with sunken eyes and a sickly grayish-white skin covered with purplish-red blood vessels.
The pupils were not round, but thin vertical lines, pulsating with the frenzy of a wild beast.
This is not how a normal person should look.
This is a highly alienated and irreversible phenomenon.
Li Yuantu did not take the wine glass. His nose twitched twice, and his vertical pupils locked onto Chen Yifan.
"Your scent is off."
Chen Yifan loosened his grip, and the wine glass fell to the ground.
Before the wine glass even hit the ground, Li Yuantu's right hand suddenly shot out, his knuckles bulging and his fingernails extending into five-centimeter-long black blades, aimed straight at Chen Yifan's throat.
It moved extremely fast, carrying a foul stench.
Chen Yifan did not dodge.
His spiritual power erupted and slammed down on Li Yuantu.
In an instant.
Li Yuantu's hand, which had been thrust out, slammed downwards, causing him to lose his balance and crash face-first to the ground.
It made a crisp sound and then cracked like a spider web.
Chen Yifan raised his right leg and stepped on the back of Li Yuantu's head.
"Shh." Chen Yifan bent down and whispered in Li Yuantu's ear, "Wine delivery service is on the house."
The door was pushed open.
The metal box containing the core crystal was brought in.
The delivery was made by two senior butlers, who carried a briefcase with a combination lock.
As soon as the butler entered, he saw a waiter stepping on a guest's head.
They reacted extremely quickly, reaching for their psionic guns at their waists.
Chen Yifan was faster than them.
He flicked a coin with his finger, hitting the left deacon's wrist ganglion precisely.
The psionic gun dropped.
Immediately following, a shadow flashed by, its appearance exactly the same as Chen Chen Yifan in his disguise. It lunged forward and delivered an elbow strike to the right-hand deacon's chin.
The sound of bones cracking was crisp, and the person immediately lost consciousness.
Before the left-hand deacon could retaliate, Shadow Chen Yifan had already grabbed him by the neck and snatched the briefcase from his hand.
With a forceful twist, the butler collapsed limply to the ground.
From the moment he made his move to the moment he snatched the box, it took less than two seconds.
The shadow returned to Chen Yifan's side.
He picked up the box.
"Pop..."
The shadow vanished like a soap bubble.
At this moment, Li Yuantu finally broke free from Chen Yifan's mental pressure.
He raised his head from the ground, half of his face was a bloody mess, but the wound was not bleeding, instead, fine blue scales grew out.
monster.
"court death."
Li Yuantu let out an inhuman roar, and the temperature in the private room dropped again.
The cold air condensed into ice spikes, piercing Chen Yifan from all directions.
This is an extremely dangerous force.
Chen Yifan did not engage in a direct confrontation with him.
He has achieved his goal; with the combination lock in hand, there's no need to fight to the death here.
"Thank you for your patronage. Please come again next time."
Spatial flashes were activated one after another.
Chen Yifan vanished from the spot before the ice spikes pierced his body.
Li Yuantu missed his target and knocked over the coffee table.
He roared angrily and smashed the entire private room to pieces.
Four armored guards rushed in and found only a scene of chaos and a crazed Li Yuantu.
"Seal off the entire building!" Li Yuantu's eyes were bloodshot, scales spreading down to his neck. "Catch that thief, I'll skin him alive!"
The alarm sounded throughout the headquarters building.
The red isolation doors descended one by one, activating all the sensor-operated machine guns in the corridor and putting the area into a state of maximum alert.
Taking advantage of the moment of spatial blink, Chen Yifan activated Shadow Step. With the help of Shadow Step's invisibility, he activated Spatial Blink again and returned directly to Room 2.
Mu Wanqing was sitting on the sofa sulking, Wang Fugui was pacing anxiously, Old K was resting with his eyes closed, and Lin Xiaoyu was studying the book in her hand.
Chen Yifan appeared out of nowhere and casually tossed the briefcase onto the coffee table.
"knock off."
Wang Fugui was startled. "Holy crap, who are you?!"
The fat man was taken aback when he saw the waiter suddenly appear.
The next second, Chen Yifan spoke?
"I am Chen Yifan."
"Fanzi? What are you doing in this state? And... where did you come from? Did you rob a bank?"
A series of questions.
Chen Yifan ignored him.
Mu Wanqing's expression changed drastically when she saw the box on the table.
"You robbed Li Yuantu?"
He said he didn't want it anymore, but he insisted on giving it to me.
Chen Yifan pulled up a chair and sat down, casually picking up a grape and popping it into his mouth.
"Headquarters has just activated the highest level of alert."
Mu Wanqing rubbed her temples; this was beyond her plan.
"Uncle Fu's guards will find their way here soon. The Black Gold Merchant Guild's only punishment for those who break the rules is execution."
"That depends on them being able to find evidence."
Chen Yifan snapped his fingers.
The disguised waiter image and the uniform fell off, restoring the original appearance.
He pointed to the combination lock box.
"Now, the crystal is mine. As for the managerial position, you'll have to figure that out yourself. My mission is complete."
Mu Wanqing was well aware of the seriousness of the matter.
The headquarters is shrouded in mystery.
Even if she is the heir to the branch, if she is caught red-handed here, she will only face death.
A flurry of footsteps sounded outside the door.
Uncle Fu, accompanied by a team of fully armed adjudicators, stopped outside the door of Box Number Two.
"Miss Mu, a serious robbery has occurred in the building. Mr. Li's auction items have been stolen. Routine check, please open the door."
