Chapter 361 Swallowed Billion
Gao Dongxu quickly walked to the distribution box and opened the rusty iron door. Dust billowed in his face. He squinted his eyes and shone his flashlight on the electric meter. When he saw the meter display of over 20,000 kWh, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"It's here." He said softly, his voice echoing in the enclosed space.

Turning toward the periscope window, Gao Dongxu pressed his face against the cold glass. Outside lay the pitch-black sea, the beam of the powerful flashlight appearing exceptionally dim in the deep water. He adjusted the flashlight's angle, focusing the beam on the glass.

Suddenly, his pupils contracted sharply - at the end of the light beam, a huge container lay quietly on the seabed.

Gao Dongxu felt his heartbeat quicken. He quickly walked to the switch, took a deep breath, and pushed it up with force.

With a click, the entire well floor suddenly lit up. The overhead light flickered briefly before stabilizing. Then, a low mechanical roar echoed from beneath their feet, and the entire well floor began to vibrate slightly.

Gao Dongxu immediately returned to the periscope window. Through the glass, he saw a shocking scene: beneath the massive container, a steel platform was slowly rising. A robotic arm on the platform firmly secured the container, and a large number of bubbles rose in the seawater.

"What a grand gesture," Gao Dongxu muttered to himself. He could see the hydraulic system on the platform operating with precision, the rotation of each gear revealing the ingenious design of the device.

Gao Dongxu quickly gathered up the glow sticks on the ground and grabbed a chain. His movements were clean and precise, his toes tapping the well wall lightly. With a few leaps and bounds, he reached the wellhead. For him, already a master of extraordinary skill, this level of climbing was as easy as a stroll.

Outside the lighthouse, the roar of machinery grew louder. Gao Dongxu quickly walked out of the lighthouse and stood on a high vantage point, overlooking the sea. Under the moonlight, the sea surged violently, and a huge black shadow slowly emerged from the water.

With a crash, the container emerged completely from the water, and water droplets on the steel platform shimmered in the moonlight. The platform began to rotate, making a heavy, grinding sound. Gao Dongxu held his breath as he watched the behemoth slowly move toward the shore.

The moment the platform tilted and the container slid to the shore, Gao Dongxu had already dashed down from the lighthouse like an arrow. His figure leaped among the reefs, as light as a seabird. The night wind lifted the corners of his clothes, but it couldn't blow away the fiery light in his eyes.

Standing in front of the container, Gao Dongxu took a deep breath. He could smell the salty smell of the seawater and hear his own thundering heartbeat. He inserted the crowbar into the iron lock, and with a snap, the lock broke.

As the container door slowly opened, a distinct smell of ink wafted into his face. The moment Gao Dongxu's flashlight beam shone in, his pupils suddenly contracted and his breathing stopped.

Before my eyes were neatly stacked cubes of cash, each tightly wrapped in waterproof cloth. In the flashlight's beam, these cubes looked like mountains of gold, emitting a dizzying glow.

"This..." Gao Dongxu felt his throat dry. Even with his knowledge, he was shocked by the scene before him. He roughly estimated that the cash in this container was worth at least tens of billions.

His hands trembled slightly, not out of fear, but excitement. He guessed there might be a large amount of cash here, but he really didn't expect there would be so much cash.

This group of money launderers are really crazy. No wonder, electronic fraud and financial fraud cannot be completely eradicated. Groups of people continue to do it. It is indeed easy to make money and become rich in a short period of time.

Thinking of the scale of Drongbao's two to three hundred billion, Gao Dongxu looked at the container of cash in front of him and suddenly felt that it was not so attractive.

However, he soon laughed at himself in relief, laughing at himself for being too greedy.

You know, the cash in the container in front of him is enough for him to launder for one or two years, and it is also enough for him to spend.

Of course, no one would complain about having too much money. Naturally, the more of this kind of thing that everyone loves, the better.

Gao Dongxu took off his tactical gloves and reached out to touch the nearest cash cube. The cool touch of the waterproof cloth made him feel excited and happy. The corners of his mouth slowly lifted, revealing a meaningful smile.

"The game has just begun." He said softly, with excitement and anticipation that was hard to conceal in his voice.

"Collect——" A huge cube of cash disappeared from its original place and appeared in Gao Dongxu's space.

It just so happened that during this period of time, in order to go down to the tomb and take out all the gold, silver, jewelry, large bronze artifacts, and even the coffins containing priceless treasures, he had been continuously absorbing spiritual energy and expanding his storage space.

It now seems that 500 cubic meters of space still cannot meet the demand, and the space needs to be further expanded.

A faint smile appeared on Gao Dongxu's face, revealing confidence and a sense of control. With each cash package he received, his back seemed to straighten a little, and the light in his eyes became sharper.

"Money, after all, is just a bunch of numbers." He said to himself, with a hint of joking in his tone, but also mixed with a pride that was hard to conceal.

Yet, despite his words, he knew better than anyone that these "numbers" were the source of his confidence. They weren't just a symbol of wealth; they were the foundation of power and status. With each additional package of cash, his confidence grew, and his composure and self-confidence swelled.

He stepped into the container, looked at the cube of cash before him, and patted it, feeling its heaviness. His lips curled up slightly, a sly glint in his eyes. "But it's these numbers that allow us to stand taller and see further."

With his movement, another cash package vanished into thin air. Gao Dongxu's smile deepened. He knew that this money wasn't just his confidence; it was the tool he needed to realize his ambitions. It would pave the way for him, allowing him to navigate this complex world with ease. "It's not enough," he whispered, a hint of greed and ambition in his tone.

His eyes flickered as he scanned the remaining cash packages in the container. He knew this money was just the beginning, and his goals were far greater than this. But at the moment, he relished the feeling of control, the confidence and ease that came with wealth.

"Money is indeed a good thing." He chuckled, with a hint of amusement in his tone.

As the last cash bag was stored, Gao Dongxu breathed a sigh of relief, his smile growing more relaxed. Standing in the empty container, he put on his tactical gloves again, his gaze deep and determined.

"Next, just wait to devour Huang Youfa." He said in a low voice, with a hint of coldness and confidence in his tone.

Gao Dongxu turned and left the container, his steps steady and calm. His back seemed particularly tall in the cold moonlight, like an unshakable mountain.

In his heart, he had already laid a huge net for the future, and when the time was right, he would take everything into his pocket.

Ignoring the scene, Gao Dongxu jumped and ran on the rocks by the sea like a nimble cheetah, and soon disappeared into the night.

On the way back to the city on his motorcycle, Gao Dongxu couldn't help but smile.

He was now very much looking forward to seeing the expressions of the people in the underground bank, the people behind the scenes, and Huang Youfa when they found out that someone had raided their lair and lost more than ten billion.

However, one thing is certain, they will definitely go crazy, and then the whole Magic City will become lively. The black, white, and gray will be alarmed and turn the Magic City upside down, looking for a gang that can transport tens of billions of cash overnight.

Of course, the most likely outcome is that it will trigger internal strife among their group, leading to mutual suspicion and even a fight between them.

This is a good thing. If one bad guy dies, there will be one less. It would be best if they were all killed in a fight. This can be considered as an indirect way for Gao Dongxu to accumulate virtue and do good deeds.

After riding a motorcycle into the city, Gao Dongxu found a remote place with no surveillance. He put the motorcycle and helmet into the space, then walked for a while, hailed a taxi, returned to the nightclub where he parked, drove away directly, and returned to COFCO Seaview.

He returned home quietly, changed his clothes in the bathroom, washed off the disguise on his face, took a shower, then went back to the bedroom, lifted the quilt, got into bed, and hugged the sleeping Xiaoxue from behind.

He closed his eyes, but he was so excited that he couldn't fall asleep. His mind was full of the container of cash, which was really spectacular.

Although he had already been worth over 100 million yuan, the sight of tens of billions of cash piled in front of him still gave him a huge thrill.

I believe no one can remain indifferent to this kind of stimulation.

Before they knew it, the sky began to brighten. When Gao Dongxu finally fell asleep, the minions of the underground money house dragged their tired bodies back to the base.

They were still in high spirits from last night's revelry, but now they just wanted to get back to their own territory and count their "harvest." However, when they saw the container from the car, which shouldn't have appeared on the beach, they were completely dumbfounded.

"This... this is impossible!" A small minion said with his eyes wide open and a trembling voice.

The container that was supposed to be on the seabed now appeared on the beach, being constantly slammed by the rising tide...

The four minions immediately got out of the car, their faces pale, their foreheads covered in cold sweat, their eyes full of fear as they crawled to the beach, their eyes dull and their bodies stiff as they stared at the empty container, without even a shadow of a red banknote left.

There was a strange smell in the air, as if an invisible hand was quietly clearing out everything.

"Where's the money? Where did the money go?!" another minion shouted in panic, with undisguised fear in his voice.

They rushed into the base and searched everywhere, but no matter how hard they looked, they couldn't find the bags of cash. Fear spread among them like a plague, and everyone's face was filled with panic and anxiety.

"Hurry! Call the boss!" A small leader took out his cell phone tremblingly, his fingers sliding across the screen in panic.

The moment the phone was connected, his voice was almost tearful: "Boss, something terrible has happened! The money...all the money is gone!"

There was silence for a few seconds, and then there was a roar from the other end of the phone: "What did you say?! The money is gone?! Do you know what you are talking about? That's 1.4 billion in cash, and you tell me it's gone?!"
