Upon reaching the depths of the vault, the area that had previously contained numerous boxes had been cleared out, with the boxes stacked on both sides, leaving a passageway wide enough for three people in the middle.

The skeleton and the ghost were standing in front of the wall at the end of the passage, pointing at it from time to time, as if they were studying something.

The two skeletons were not only tall but also wide, completely blocking Su Chen's view and making it impossible for him to see what they were looking at.

"What good stuff have you found this time?" Su Chen asked as he walked over to the two of them.

"BOSS~" Upon hearing Su Chen's voice, the two skeletons quickly moved a step to the sides, leaving the middle space for Su Chen.

Su Chen nodded slightly, his gaze naturally falling on the wall. When he saw what was on the wall, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"This is an electronic combination lock? How did you discover it?"

No one expected that there would be an electronic combination lock at the deepest part of the vault, and it was even the kind with a mechanism, otherwise Su Chen and his group would have discovered it earlier.

"Hehe~ BOSS, guess!" Ghost said with a hint of excitement.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Su Chen looking at him. He immediately remembered what Su Chen had told him before: don't be silly, get straight to the point.

The ghost, realizing what was happening, quickly began to explain before Su Chen could even speak.

The discovery of this hidden mechanism was purely by chance. After they finished taking inventory, Ghost decided to have a smoke to relax.

Leaning against the steel wall, his head naturally tilted back, but he had a strange feeling, as if there was a void in his body. Based on his experience in many missions, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

They immediately called over Skull and Chen Fei, and the three of them studied the situation carefully. They quickly discovered the clue on the wall: by kicking a specific spot at the base of the wall twice, the mechanism would open automatically, revealing the hidden electronic combination lock on the wall.

The skeletons immediately became excited. The fact that the Bai family could hide it so well meant that there must be something extremely valuable inside, something far more valuable than the tens of tons of gold and the paintings, calligraphy, and porcelain outside.

Of course, all of this is just their speculation; no one knows what's behind this electronic combination lock.

Having understood everything, Su Chen immediately stepped forward and carefully examined the electronic combination lock on the wall.

This electronic combination lock is incredibly difficult to use. In addition to simple numbers, it also contains twenty-six letters. If you were to combine them in pairs, even Einstein's brain wouldn't be able to work with it.

"Huh~" Su Chen suddenly noticed that there was a slot in the corner of the electronic combination lock panel. It seemed to be a backup plan in case the electronic combination lock malfunctioned.

"BOSS~ How about I arrange for someone to come and dismantle this steel wall, just like we did when we opened the vault before!" The skeleton walked up to Su Chen and whispered his request.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen shook his head slightly. "Tearing down the wall is too troublesome. It would take several hours to dismantle it. Besides, who knows what's behind this electronic combination lock?"

After saying that, Su Chen pondered for a moment before saying, "There should be quite a few laptops on the island, right? Go find me one with good performance!"

"Oh right, and this data cable for this interface!" Su Chen said, pointing to the interface in the corner of the panel.

Skull and his crew had seen this interface before, but there were no skilled hackers on the island, so they hadn't considered it.

But now the boss is asking them to bring computers and data cables. Could it be that their boss is a computer expert?
With this question in mind, the ghost quickly ran out and disappeared in a flash.

Less than five minutes later, Ghost came running back with a computer and data cable. Surprisingly, he was also carrying a chair with a soft backrest, which was obviously for Su Chen to sit on while using the computer.

"Boss, is this chair comfortable for you? If not, I'll go and change it for you!" Ghost placed the chair in front of Su Chen and even patted off non-existent dust from the seat cushion.

This move truly stunned the skeleton standing to the side. In his mind, the ghost was a tough guy who dared to fight and charge forward. How come he has now learned to flatter the BOSS? Shouldn't this be his job?

Seeing this, Su Chen smiled. He hadn't expected the ghost to be so "sensible." After trying it out, he found the chair quite comfortable and perfect for operating the computer.

As soon as Su Chen took the computer and plugged in the data cable, the skeleton and the others standing next to him immediately noticed that something was wrong.

Su Chen, who had been calm and composed, suddenly became serious. He twirled his fingers a few times and then placed his hands on the computer screen.

Seeing Su Chen's incredibly fast hand speed, which was almost like a blur, the skeleton and the ghost exchanged a glance. They hadn't expected their boss to be a hacker, and one whose skills seemed quite formidable.

If you don't have confidence in your skills, you definitely won't show them off in front of them. If you can't open it, wouldn't you lose face?

The three skeletons exchanged a glance and tacitly took a few steps back so that their breathing wouldn't interfere with Su Chen's actions.

For a moment, the only sound in the vault was the clatter of keyboards.

This situation did not last long, only about three minutes, when a crisp "beep" sounded and the electronic combination lock on the wall opened.

Instead of the hidden door they had imagined opening, an electronic panel slowly opened like a door, revealing a space about 20 centimeters square in front of everyone.

"What is this?" Su Chen immediately recognized what was inside. It wasn't any rare treasure; it was just a small stack of documents and letters.

Seeing this, a hint of regret and confusion flashed in the eyes of everyone present, including Su Chen.

What exactly did the Bai family keep hidden so well?
"Ah Fei~" Su Chen put away the laptop on his lap and called out softly, gesturing for him to take the things out of it.

Upon hearing this, Chen Fei quickly walked to the wall, looked around to see if there were any mechanisms inside, and after confirming that there were none, he carefully took the item out.

On top was a document. Chen Fei glanced at it and saw a familiar name. His pupils contracted sharply, and a look of shock immediately appeared on his face.

Su Chen's gaze had been fixed on Chen Fei. Seeing the sudden change in his expression, he immediately stood up from his chair, and even the skeleton and the ghost quickly walked over.

"What's going on?" Su Chen asked Chen Fei with a slight frown.

"Gulp~" Chen Fei nervously swallowed, his hands trembling slightly as he handed the item to Su Chen, his face flushed as he said, "Boss, we might have really found something incredible this time!"

Su Chen quickly took the things from Chen Fei's hands, and as soon as he glanced down, a familiar name caught his eye.
"Yamashita Fengwen!"

Upon seeing this name, Su Chen couldn't help but pause in surprise. There was no way around it; the name of this damned Japanese chicken was all too familiar!

Tomoyuki Yamashita, a Japanese army general during World War II, nicknamed "Tiger of Malaya," committed numerous crimes in Southeast Asia, including arson, murder, looting, and plundering, and also stole large amounts of property from various countries.

According to conservative estimates, Tomoyuki Yamashita stole more than 100 billion US dollars in wealth, including more than 6,000 tons of gold, as well as a large number of diamonds, jade, jade jewelry, antiques and works of art!
However, as the war drew to a close, the wealth that Japan had plundered in Southeast Asia could not be transported back to Japan. It had no choice but to bury it on the spot. Yamashita Tomoyuki was the executor of this plan, so this treasure is also known as the "Yamashita Tomoyuki Treasure Trove".
Even decades later, the Philippine authorities have repeatedly claimed to have found a treasure, but these claims have always been debunked, leaving the treasure an unsolved mystery to this day. As Su Chen perused the documents in his hands and learned their contents, his heart began to race, and even the fingers gripping the documents tightened slightly!
In his hand was the Bai family's detailed investigation report on Yamashita Tomoyuki's treasure, which also included many decades-old military archives that detailed the treasures Yamashita Tomoyuki had buried in certain places in the Philippines.

According to the Bai family's investigation, these treasures were nothing more than a smokescreen released by Yamashita Tomoyuki. However, even as a smokescreen, Yamashita Tomoyuki had put a lot of good stuff inside.

The Bai family has already found all of these smoke bombs. The dozens of tons of gold currently stored in the vault are what the Bai family found in those treasures.

As for the genuine treasure, Su Chen looked at the sheepskin in his hand that resembled a treasure map. Besides some small circles, there was also a large red circle on it. If Su Chen was not mistaken, this place should be the real treasure location of "Fengwen's Hidden Gold at the Foot of the Mountain".

"Boss, is this for real?" The skeleton leaned closer and asked with wide eyes.

Having been stationed in Southeast Asia for several years, they had naturally heard about the Yamashita Tomoyuki Treasure. Adam had even organized a group of people specifically to search for this treasure.

Unfortunately, despite spending a lot of time and money searching, they returned empty-handed, finding not a single hair.

Unexpectedly, I came across news about Yamashita Tomoyuki's treasure under such a coincidence, and it seems that the Bai family should know something about the real location of Yamashita Tomoyuki's treasure.

"It seems the Bai family has become the number one family in the Philippines thanks to a lot of treasure!" Su Chen muttered to himself, then unfolded the thing that looked like a treasure map and asked Ghost to find a map of Southeast Asia and the surrounding areas.

Soon, after Chen Fei, Skeleton, and the others investigated, they finally confirmed the location of the treasure, but the place surprised Su Chen and the others.

"The trench near Kiribati and the Line Islands? Isn't that in the sea?" The skeleton, familiar with the area, said with some surprise.

Rumors had circulated that the treasure was in the Philippines, but it turns out it was transported to this godforsaken place.

Kiribati is a tiny country located on the equator, with a total land area of ​​only about 800 square kilometers. It consists of three main islands and twenty-one smaller islands, with the Line Islands being the largest. The total population is only about 100,000. It is a small country that could be submerged by the sea at any time.

"You guys think that the submarine the Bai family owns was specifically purchased for this treasure, just to facilitate their underwater exploration?" Chen Fei suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen and the other two all turned to look at Chen Fei, startling him.

According to the information they had gathered, the submarine had not been in the Bai family's hands for very long. As a purely commercial family, how could they suddenly get involved in the military, especially such a large vessel as a submarine!

Chen Fei's words immediately won over Su Chen and the others.

Su Chen nodded thoughtfully, "It is indeed very possible. It's not impossible that the Bai family bought this private island and built such a doomsday base in the first place because of Yamashita Tomoyuki's treasure."

Hearing this, everyone had a better hope for the treasure map in Su Chen's hand; it might actually lead them to the treasure!

Otherwise, the Bai family wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to do so many things.

"Phew~" Su Chen took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, carefully put the things in his hands into his pocket, and didn't forget to pat the pocket lightly twice.

After confirming that the treasure was in place, he looked up at the two skeletons and said, "The treasure is not urgent for now. We'll investigate its authenticity after we've finished dealing with what we have to do. You two will be in charge of this matter then!"

"Yes, BOSS!" The skeleton and the ghost straightened their backs and responded loudly.

They knew the priorities in their hearts. Yamashita Tomoyuki's treasure had been around for decades. If it were so easy to find, it would have been found long ago.

Su Chen nodded slightly, recalling what Chen Yao had told him before. He immediately looked at the skeleton and said, "Arrange all the mechanics on the island to go to the research area on the third floor and have them assist Chen Yao in dismantling that experimental machine!"

The skeleton was taken aback and asked, somewhat puzzled, "Tear them down? Boss, are you planning to transport these things back through special channels?"

"It's not a special passage!" Su Chen lightly stomped his foot before continuing, "It's the submarine we're on, and someone will come to pick us up!"

"Uh~" Skeleton, Ghost and Chen Fei were all stunned when they heard this. What kind of brain would it take to think of using a submarine to transport the experimental machine!

Looking at the expressions of the three people, Su Chen nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that everyone's first reaction was similar. But to be honest, this plan was actually quite reliable.

"Alright, go and get the personnel in place. This is related to our subsequent plans!"

After the skeleton left, Su Chen did not leave the vault immediately. Instead, he went to the place in the vault where the US dollars were stored. It was not as large as the gold, but just a small pile, which he estimated to be around 100 million!
"Ghost~ How many IPS brothers are there on the island in total?!"

Ghost was a little confused at first, but when he saw the mountain of US dollars in front of him, his breathing immediately became heavier. He had experienced this scene before, so how could he not know what Su Chen was going to do!

Suppressing his excitement, he quickly reported, "Phew~ BOSS, there are currently forty-eight people on the island. If you include me and the skeleton, that makes fifty!"

"Hmm!" Su Chen crossed his arms and thought for a moment before speaking, "Make a note of this: 200,000 US dollars for each person staying on the island, and 500,000 US dollars for each person on the submarine who needs to go on missions later!"

"As for you and Skeleton," Su Chen paused deliberately, glancing at Ghost's excited expression out of the corner of his eye, and said with a smile, "One million US dollars each for the two of you. You calculate how much that will cost in total!"

Ghost immediately pulled out his phone and started calculating, "Twenty-eight people staying behind, that's five million six hundred thousand US dollars. Twenty people on the submarine, that's ten million US dollars. Add me and Skeleton's, and the total is seventeen million six hundred thousand US dollars!"

They didn't have any combat missions; they were just operating the submarine, and twenty people were more than enough for them!

Su Chen gently patted the small mountain of US dollars in front of him, looked at the still-stunned ghost, and laughed, "What are you still standing there for? Go load up your money!"

The ghost shuddered, grabbed a canvas bag from the shelf beside him, and began packing.

Looking at the excited Ghost, Su Chen turned to Chen Fei beside him and said, "Don't just stand there, you also need to pretend to have 2.4 million. As for how to distribute it, I don't need to tell you, right?"

"Understood!" Chen Fei grinned broadly, mimicking the ghost's manner, and quickly stuffed the money into the canvas bag.

Chen Fei had no objection to Su Chen's arrangement. Although it was only a little over two million, which would only amount to a few hundred thousand per person, he hadn't forgotten about the people who were following Chen Yao and aimed to ensure that everyone received a share.

This bonus seems far less than what Ghost and his team received, but Ghost did the work—clearing out everyone on the island. Just for that mission alone, they deserve such a large bonus.

The ten people who came with them this time basically didn't do anything, and they were lucky to get all the good food and bonuses!

Chen Fei knew the reason his boss made this arrangement: he wanted these people to spread the word in the park after the mission, so that everyone in the park would be motivated to train even harder!
Everyone knows that as long as you stay by Boss Su Chen's side, you're guaranteed to receive rewards. That means you'll have his heart firmly in your grasp!
Although the method is a bit rough, it's practical!

After all, what could be more practical than giving out money? (End of Chapter)
