A Sure Win, Entering Jile Tower for the Third Time

The two entered the secret chamber.

Lu Xiaofeng's experience with mechanisms hadn't deceived him; this secret chamber was a crucial core chamber within Jile Tower.

Piles and piles of crisp, white banknotes were stacked in the chamber.

On the table in the center, one could also see printing plates and other tools.

"What exquisite mechanisms, what masterful craftsmanship!"

Lu Xiaofeng exclaimed, "If this Yue Qing were still alive and had applied his talents, his fame and achievements would likely not be inferior to Zhu Ting!"

"Alas, fate is unpredictable..." Wuyan sighed.

Suddenly, footsteps could be heard; someone was coming up the stairs.

Their expressions changed. Lu Xiaofeng quickly put away the printing plate, then left the secret chamber with Wuyan and hid in Wuyan's room before anyone else appeared.

Knock, knock, knock.

Miss Wuyan, the host asks you to attend to a guest.

A hint of bitterness appeared on Wuyan's face. She nodded at Lu Xiaofeng and said, "Alright, I'm coming."

She then tidied her appearance, walked out of the room, and left.

Lu Xiaofeng, holding the printing plate, had an unreadable expression. Suddenly, he shifted his body and reached out to touch a drop of water falling from the ceiling.

He brought it to his nose and smelled it...

Heh heh, so that's how it is!

The next day, at Six Doors.

Boss Qian, Hua Manlou, Jiang Long, and Luo Ma were all present.

Lu Xiaofeng took out the printing plate he had hidden and said, "With this as evidence, it's enough to prove that Jile Tower is the place manufacturing counterfeit banknotes."

Jiang Long took the printing plate, but his face didn't show much joy. "But the problem now is, where exactly is Jile Tower?"

If they couldn't find this mysterious Jile Tower, what use would the printing plate be, even if they had it?

Lu Xiaofeng said, "I already have the answer to that!"

Outside the city.

In a desolate mountain wilderness.

Lu Xiaofeng said, "Last night, in the tower, a drop of water fell from the ceiling. But there was no wind or rain these past few days. Jile Tower was designed and built by the master craftsman Yue Qing, with tight seals everywhere. Its waterproofing should be excellent, so why did rain still seep through the ceiling?"

Jiang Long looked around and suddenly understood. "So that's how it is! Jile Tower isn't actually on the ground, but underground!"

"More precisely, it's in the mountains!"

Lu Xiaofeng said, "Because the taste of that drop of water carried the scent of soil, and it was mountain soil! I think Jile Tower must have dug out a cavity in the mountain and built it there. Water from the soil would seep down, and over time, even the tightest seals would eventually be penetrated by water!"

Luo Ma said, "But even so, with so many mountainous areas, where specifically is it?"

"Heh heh, the exact location is probably impossible to find. However, we can completely use the coffin's transport time, direction, and the clue that it's in the mountains to determine a general area!"

Lu Xiaofeng began to explain his plan.

One of the main reasons they failed to track successfully last night was that Jiang Long and Luo Ma had brought a group of constables, which greatly slowed them down.

But they couldn't not bring them.

With so many people in Jile Tower and its numerous mechanisms, if they didn't bring more people, with just the few of them, no matter how high their martial arts were, they definitely wouldn't be able to capture everyone.

Moreover, all the members of Jile Tower wore masks. Even the Tower Lord, once they changed masks, couldn't be recognized. If the Tower Lord escaped, it would be a great problem.

Lu Xiaofeng's plan was, after determining the area where Jile Tower was located, to first have the numerous constables hide.

Then, at night, Lu Xiaofeng would enter the coffin again, while the others would follow secretly.

Because their martial arts were high, it would be difficult to lose the trail this time.

Once Jile Tower's location was confirmed, they would immediately gather their forces and storm it.

"Great Hero Lu's plan is truly ingenious, I'm impressed!"

Jiang Long cupped his fists, saying happily.

Afterward, the group discussed, added some details, and proceeded according to the plan.

The constables they brought, while called a 'burden,' were only so when compared to them, the Xiantian realm martial artists.

Being able to join Six Doors, how could these people's strength be ordinary? They were at least in the Houtian realm.

However, lurking in the mountains was a task that couldn't be easier.

When it was time to execute the plan that night, Zhou Ming joined them with four maids.

Lu Xiaofeng said, "Why do you have to get involved in everything?"

Zhou Ming was also frustrated. "How was I supposed to know your investigation would be so fast? It's only been a few days, and you're about to solve the case. If I don't get involved tonight, I'm afraid I won't have any part in this entire case!"

"Heh heh, now you know how formidable I am! Hand over the antidote. I haven't had a drink in three days, I'm dying of thirst!"

"Let's talk about success for tonight's operation first!"

Zhou Ming shot him a glare. "If the operation fails... heh, then I haven't lost!"

"Then I'll be waiting for you to concede!"

"So confident?"

"Heh heh..."

Lu Xiaofeng gave a faint smile and walked away on his own.

Seeing his expression, Zhou Ming immediately understood. Lu Xiaofeng must have figured out the key to the plan.

The operation today was bound to succeed.

Why?

Because that was also the enemy's expectation!

Even if there were any mistakes or omissions during today's operation, the enemy would proactively compensate and cooperate.

Was there any possibility of failure for an operation like this?

After further refinement, Lu Xiaofeng's plan had some additional details added, and Zhu Ting was also released to join the plan.

First, Lu Xiaofeng would enter the coffin and be taken to Jile Tower, with Jiang Long following behind.

Jiang Long's nickname in the martial arts world was 'Flying Dragon'.

With such a nickname, his Qinggong (lightness skill) was naturally not bad.

Moreover, as a Gold-Clad Constable, his professional competence was beyond question.

Therefore, as the first tracking echelon, he had to follow the coffin closely, avoiding detection while also leaving tracking markers.

Boss Qian, Hua Manlou, Zhou Ming, and other experts would form the second echelon, following behind Jiang Long.

Zhu Ting was among them.

Finally, there was Luo Ma, who had to follow those ahead while also mobilizing the constables ambushing in the mountains. His task was also very heavy.

Each echelon understood its mission. When night fell, the operation would begin as Lu Xiaofeng entered the coffin.

During the operation, there were no unexpected incidents; in fact, it went smoothly, perhaps a little too smoothly.

At the front, four strong men carried the coffin to a mountain wall, triggered a mechanism, opened the hidden door, and carried the coffin inside.

Jiang Long followed immediately. After confirming the location of the mechanism, he waited there. In less than a minute, Zhou Ming and the others had caught up.

"This is where the mechanism is!" Jiang Long said.

Zhu Ting stepped forward and felt along the mountain wall. "Indeed, it's a mechanism from my sect. It shouldn't be tampered with carelessly, or the internal mechanisms will be connected, and they'll discover us."

With a slight manipulation, he opened the hidden door.

At this moment, Luo Ma arrived with many constables.

Everyone was a little surprised.

The speed was a bit too fast, but no one said anything.

"Prepare the torches!"

Jiang Long commanded.

Jile Tower was located inside the mountain, so lighting was a major issue. If the enemy deliberately extinguished the candlelight, it would be easy for enemies to escape in complete darkness.

Everyone immediately took out their prepared torches and lit them. Then, led by Jiang Long and Luo Ma, they charged straight in!
