Infinite: Starting from Infiltrating Other Spaces

"Oh!"

The gun spat out flames, carrying a strong smell of gunpowder, and shattered the vase on the counter.

Yan Yi couldn't help but scream. Yan Ya was a little better, but he still trembled.

"Old Liu, calm down, I'll shut it off right now!"

The creaking roller shutter door began to descend, and Old Liu, already an expert, turned on the chandelier beside the door.

Li Xia stood aside, his thoughts racing. If he made a move, there was a good chance he could win.

But this will cause trouble, such as... the police.

As Li Xia was pondering this, she saw Yan Ya wink at her. Li Xia was taken aback. Did this mean... there was nothing to be afraid of?

My gaze shifted, and I saw that Yan Yi was still holding her head, seemingly very scared, but actually quietly moving her feet.

Oh? They have a backup plan? These people are truly not to be underestimated; they're incredibly meticulous.

"Old Yan! Tell your daughter not to move! Your alarm is installed over there, isn't it?"

"Damn it!" Yan Ya almost cursed out loud. He shook his head helplessly at his daughter. All coin shops like theirs basically followed the same pattern.

The locations of the alarms are also roughly the same.

"Old Liu, I'm not trying to criticize you, but I heard about what happened the other day. There's no hurdle you can't overcome, so why make things difficult for yourself?"

When stealing chickens didn't work, Yan Ya started playing the emotional card, trying to ease the atmosphere by chatting about everyday things.

Li Xia stood quietly to the side, listening, seemingly implicated but not targeted.

"What we're saying is, who hasn't paid tuition when they first entered the industry? If you cross over into jadeite and lose money gambling on stones, isn't that normal?"

"If you have any difficulties, talk to everyone. Why resort to guns?"

Yan Ya kept nagging, raising her hands and earnestly persuading:

"You think you can escape once you've drawn a gun? Old Liu, if you stop now, I promise I won't call the police. We can't let this one mistake ruin everything!"

After this, Lao Liu's expression seemed to have softened somewhat, but the gun in his hand did not waver in the slightest.

He just shook his head, his voice trembling with tears: "I'm sorry, buddy, but I had no choice. My wife and son have been detained. I couldn't do anything, I just couldn't do anything!"

Yan Ya's face immediately darkened. Old Liu had a son late in life and spoiled him rotten. It was his son who instigated the trip to Myanmar to gamble on jade. He heard that the son lost a huge sum of money, even emptying the family's savings, and now he's been detained...

"Old Yan, have your daughter connect her phone to the TV and cast it to the screen—"

Yan Yi glanced at her father and had no choice but to do as she was told.

"Open the bank app, don't try any tricks. I know which banks we are VIPs of. Transfer a total of 12 million to these accounts."

Old Liu tossed out a note with several account numbers written on it in scribbled handwriting.

Yan Ya's heart skipped a beat. She was furious at how long Liu Mingguang had been preparing, that he even knew how much working capital she had left.

He wanted to delay, but didn't know how, and then he heard his daughter say:

"Uncle Liu... this transfer... can be frozen... you're doing this... no... no..."

Sigh—Yan Ya closed her eyes and let out a long sigh. She was still young after all.

“Twelve million was transferred out in less than half an hour, and it was divided into many parts. They are very fast at money laundering and are professional. I watched you for half an hour, and when they said they had it all sorted out, they released me, so I turned myself in.”

Anyway, I was diagnosed with late-stage liver cancer, and I don't have much time left to live..."

No solution!

Li Xia shook his head. The situation was indeed unsolvable. Faced with life and his daughter, Yan Ya would definitely choose to give up the money.

Sure enough, Yan Ya closed her eyes and waved her hand, signaling her daughter to start transferring money. During this time, the bank triggered a large transfer notification and even called to inquire.

Yan Ya didn't make any subtle moves to suggest that she was being coerced; instead, she cooperated very proactively.

This was actually an extremely clever move. Old Liu was now determined to exchange his life for his wife and children. If things didn't go smoothly, he might very well take both himself and his daughter away with two shots.

He could tell what was important and what was not. Time passed by, and the Bluetooth earpiece on Lao Liu's ear kept flashing as he whispered and kept confirming something with the other end.

His tone was humble, with a hint of pleading:

"The transfer has already been completed. Could... could you please release my wife and son first?"

Put my son out first, that's fine too...

"Then let me hear the sound?"

Li Xia felt heartbroken listening to this, while Yan Ya kept sighing and glancing at her daughter. Thankfully, her daughter wasn't so useless.

No one knew what sound came from the earphone, but Old Liu let out a long "sigh" and kept wiping away his tears.

For a moment, it was hard to tell whether he was pitiful or hateful.

Suddenly, Lao Liu froze, his gaze turning towards Li Xia.

A sudden, ominous premonition rose in Li Xia's heart, just as he heard Old Liu suddenly ask:

"Old Yan, is this young man... surnamed Li?"

Yan Ya was taken aback, her gaze involuntarily turning towards him: "Why are you asking this? Let me tell you, Lao Liu, this is between us, it has nothing to do with this young man—"

That's it...

Amidst everyone's horrified gazes, Old Liu slowly shifted his gaze to Li Xia:

"I'm sorry..."

A strong sense of crisis suddenly rose in Li Xia's heart. In an instant, the world around him seemed to become extremely friendly, and a mysterious feeling surged up.

He had a sudden inspiration and immediately realized that this was his innate skill being activated in the blink of an eye.

With a thought, an exquisite green treasure chest appeared in his palm.

open!

In an instant, a dazzling light burst forth from the box lid—the radiance of the European Emperor!

It was as if a small sun had risen over the entire shop. Old Liu, who was facing the box, felt his vision go completely white and screamed in terror.

In a panic, he simply raised the gun in his hand and pulled the trigger haphazardly.

"boom!"

Smoke billowed everywhere, and Yan Yi's screams were mixed with a sound like a whale sucking water, as power surged through his body in an instant!

Concentrate on your breathing!

Two cracks appeared on the 'Kara' terrazzo floor, and the five-meter distance flashed by in an instant.

Old Liu felt a tremendous force strike him, and the gun in his hand vanished.

When the light faded, Yan Ya and Yan Yi, who were constantly blinking their tears, were shocked to find that the situation in the scene had suddenly changed.

Old Liu sat on the ground trembling, while Li Xia, with a gloomy expression, held the crudely made gun in one hand and Old Liu's earpiece in the other.

I put it directly to my ear.

Chapter Twenty-One: The Radiance of a Lucky Star!

What happened? Was that flash of light from a flashbang?

Yan Ya rubbed her teary eyes, and the blurry world gradually became clear.

Sure enough! This young man was trying to make a big splash! Who carries a flashbang around all the time?!

But as I said before, what does it have to do with me?

Yan Ya felt a strange sense of participation, as if she had unknowingly joined a secret revenge plot.

It's the kind where you don't have to bear any responsibility.

Li Xia's face was so gloomy it seemed like it could drip water. Almost instinctively, the image of the crazy woman who had shot him earlier surfaced in his mind.

Although there was no evidence, he was pretty sure it was her.

I put the earphones in my ears, but all I heard was a busy beeping sound.

How did they manage to hang up the call?

As if watching himself, Li Xia suddenly raised his head, looked around, and found several security cameras in the store.

"Boss Yan—"

Li Xia asked in a low voice, "Is your home security camera a closed-circuit camera or connected to the internet?"

Cameras? Yan Ya hadn't recovered from the shock when she heard this. She looked at her daughter; these were all things she had set up.

"It's connected to the internet... so it's convenient for me to check it on my phone..."

It seems to be a camera. These network-connected cameras are easily hijacked and cracked, especially with powerful facial recognition software.

It's very likely that I'll be tracked wherever I go... No, that's too passive.

Li Xia lowered her head, looked at Liu Mingguang's ashen face, and asked in a low voice:

"Who contacted you from Myanmar?"

“Hpakant Mining…” Old Liu murmured, his eyes vacant. He still couldn’t understand what had just happened.

Li Xia didn't have time to care what Liu Mingguang was thinking. He looked at the Yan family mother and daughter, who were frantically making phone calls to freeze the transfer, and continued to press for answers:

"Who said you could buy my life?"

"I don't know... they just suddenly asked me if there was a young man who was very handsome, very tall, and wearing a Pikachu jacket..."

Damn, it really was a surveillance camera!

Leaving Liu Mingguang aside, Li Xia pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked:

Does this surveillance camera have a radio recording function?

"Huh? No... because discussing business is a sensitive topic, so—"

Yan Yi hung up the phone. She wanted to call the police, but her father stopped her. The old fox just pointed at Li Xia, indicating that he would be dragged into it.

This kind of ruthless person who carries flashbangs around and is preparing to make a big splash should not involve the police. After all, he hasn't done anything yet, and he won't be locked up for long. What if he comes out and uses his own house as a training ground?

I have to say, dealing with such a seasoned veteran is really worry-free.

No sound? That's not the worst of it. Li Xia first unplugged the monitor, and then he wasn't in a hurry to leave.

Taking a contrarian approach, he simply sat down to check what he had just gotten from the treasure chest.
