At two o'clock in the morning, the villa area of Tai Hang Road, Wan Chai, was already silent. The entire area was dark, with only a few street lamps still emitting a faint light.
Gao Ning was dressed in black, wearing a hat and a mask. He was a silent stalker like a cat. When he reached his destination, he briefly identified the house number, held the fence with one hand, and climbed in deftly.
The soles of the shoes made a slight friction sound when they stepped on the grass.
He walked to the door in a few steps, jumped slightly, grabbed the rain cover on the second floor, and with a little force on his hands, he flipped up.
In a flash of his body, he had a toilet spatula and a glass knife in his hand.
He pressed the toilet pusher hard against the glass, drew a circle two or three centimeters outside the edge, and then easily removed a circular piece of glass about ten centimeters in diameter.
Gao Ning put his gloved hand in, gently opened the latch, then pushed open the glass, turned over and jumped into the house.
When he came in just now, Gao Ning had already picked up the noise in the entire villa at an extremely fast speed.
Not only does he now have amazing body control, but he is also becoming more and more sensitive to various sounds.
Especially the sound of breathing!
There are four different breathing sounds in this room, and they are all concentrated on the first floor. They must be the housekeeper or the servant.
Listening to the breathing rate, they are already asleep.
There was no one on the second floor, and Gao Ning didn't make too much noise, so no one would notice.
Although Gao Ning still roughly remembers the plot of The Thirty-Six Stratagems, he doesn't have a deep impression of Liu Yaozu's home. He only knows that the 300 million bonds are actually hidden in the glass water tank of the pet lizard.
This room is obviously a study room. The bookshelf takes up an entire wall, and there is a desk next to it. There is a large computer on the desk, which is rustic.
Gao Ning scanned around, walked straight to the door, carefully opened the door, and quickly stepped out.
His steps were light and he moved silently from room to room.
After searching two guest rooms, a game room, and a laundry room, I finally found the room that appeared in the plot.
When the lizard ecological water tank with a length of at least one meter and a height of only 20 centimeters appeared in front of him, Gao Ning's eyes lit up.
He closed the door carefully and stepped forward quickly.
I put my hand into the fine sand and searched carefully from top to bottom, but found nothing!
Gao Ning was stunned for a moment, then searched again, but still found nothing.
He pondered for a moment, recalling the movie scenes he had seen before.
No! It’s right here!
Wait, it won’t be that simple!
If it was really just hidden under a thin layer of sand, it would have been impossible for Liu Yaozu to search for it for three years without finding it.
If it were Gao Ning, he knew that his father-in-law, who was imprisoned by him, hid 300 million in bonds at home, and he would still find it even if the whole house was demolished.
With Liu Yaozu's ruthless character who dares to buy and kill people, he will definitely not let go of any corner.
Since he didn't find it, it means that the 300 million bonds were not hidden in the open.
Thinking that the old man Robinson had smashed the water tank and found a folder from the broken glass, Gao Ning thought to himself, could this be the real way to open it?
Gao Ning turned around and opened the window, looked outside, grabbed a stool on time, and threw it at the water tank.
Then a click was heard.
The water tank was shattered inch by inch, and sand flowed down the cracks.
Huh?
This sound is wrong!
Gao Ning suddenly twitched his ears and floated downwards. He found that there was some liquid mixed in the sand. When he looked carefully, he saw that it was mercury!
He took a step forward, and sure enough he found a spot in the broken glass that reflected something that was not quite right. He reached across the table and pulled out a sixteen-karat mirror-sealed package.
When he opened it, he found a pile of bonds wrapped well in a sealed bag. On the cover was one million U.S. dollars, and it looked like the thickness was only about thirty dozen bonds.
Gao Ning was slightly stunned. No, why didn't you say 300 million? How...
He suddenly thought that with the current exchange rate, US dollars could be exchanged for almost nine times as much as Hong Kong dollars.
If the more than 30 million bonds in his hand are converted into Hong Kong dollars, wouldn't he get 300 million?
It turns out there are 300 million...
Gao Ning laughed.
At this moment, the alarm bell of the villa suddenly sounded, and several servants on the first floor ran out wearing clothes and hurried upwards.
Gao Ning flashed, threw the things in his hands into the safe, randomly took a run, and jumped out of the window.
When his hands touched the grass, he rolled forward a few times. While absorbing the impact, he followed up with a big jump. Gao Ning jumped out of the villa with great dexterity like a carp leaping through a dragon's gate.
He then ducked and quickly hid in the shadows.
The whole process takes less than three seconds, and the movements are smooth and smooth, as if they have been trained thousands of times.
It wasn't until Gao Ning disappeared that several servants rushed into the room. When they turned on the lights, they found that the lizard water tank had been smashed into pieces and the windows were wide open.
They were immediately surprised.
"Oops! There's a thief! Call the police, call the police!"
"Call the young master quickly!"
"Protect the scene!"
"Hurry up and get someone to chase him! Catch the thief!"
While they were busy in a huddle, Gao Ning had already left the villa area, got into the car with a nonchalant expression, and quickly disappeared.
Robinson Crusoe is indeed an old fox, and he is really good at hiding things.
The water tank in which the lizards are kept is obviously specially made. In fact, there is a two-centimetre-thick mercury compartment underneath, and the bonds are hidden in the compartment.
If you don't break the water tank, no matter how you look at it, the bottom is just a mirror.
Only after the barrier is broken and the mercury is exposed, the mirror-sealed bag will reveal its true identity.
No wonder it hasn't been found for three years.
Gao Ning almost couldn't find someone who had planned it somewhere in advance, let alone Liu Yaozu who had no information at all!
Anyway, I finally got the money!
Half an hour later, Copperwire Bay public housing estate.
Gao Ning parked the car on the side of the road, looked at this old public housing area that was obviously old and dirty, and walked slowly into the corridor.
The smell here is very bad, it feels like a cleaned garbage dump. Although the garbage is no longer visible on the surface, it still emits an unpleasant smell from time to time.
The interior walls of the corridor are mottled, and most of the lights in the corridor are damaged, with only one or two still hanging on.
The elevator door is covered with advertisements and graffiti, with weird lines and weird color blocks, as if to remind visitors that this is not a good place.
Gao Ning turned a blind eye to this.
He heard clearly that there was no human sound within a radius of thirty meters. Apart from the unpleasant squeaking sound of the old elevator, there was only the whistling of the wind in the elevator shaft.
Press the button, and the elevator door slowly opens with a slight friction sound, revealing the long and narrow space inside.
Gao Ning walked in and pressed the sixth floor button. As the elevator door closed, the elevator began to rise slowly.
Sixth floor, 619.
After getting out of the elevator, he found the house number with the help of dim light. Gao Ning took out the key from his arms, opened the door and walked in.
The room was empty, with no furniture except for a chair welded to the floor in the living room.
At this time, someone was tied to the chair.
He was wearing a black hood, his mouth was tightly strangled, his hands and feet were tied to a chair, and several ropes were tied to his body.
The luxurious suit was already tattered, and you could see the blood stains under his skin, especially on his wrists and ankles. The blood had seeped out and stained the ropes.
Originally, he was exhausted and gave up the useless struggle, but after hearing the sound of the door opening, he became excited again, shaking his body and making whining sounds from his mouth, as if he was cursing someone or begging for mercy.
Gao Ning closed the door with his backhand, looked at him, and said lightly: "Liu Yaozu! We finally meet!"
