Gu Momo and Li Zhanting looked at each other, and Li Zhanting immediately opened the cardboard box, his gaze becoming even more serious.

He then respectfully cupped his hands and said, "Thank you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed Gu Momo's hand and rushed out without any hesitation.

The two had just rushed out when a voice came through the woman's earpiece: "Hua Ling, are you really going to do this? The Emperor-Slaying Alliance is about to be destroyed, and we're about to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Why do you have to do something so dangerous?"

The woman on the other end of the phone sounded anxious, clearly showing concern and affection for Hualing, as if she were afraid that Hualing would be harmed in any way.

A beautiful smile curved Hua Ling's lips as she gently played with the vibrant petals with her slender, jade-like fingers, her delicate lips parting slightly:

"This is our mission. To accomplish this mission, someone always has to pay the price. Besides, my hands are already stained with blood. Even if I successfully overthrow the Lotus Tower and the Emperor-Killing Alliance, I will never have the face to see everyone alive again."

Hua Ling is indeed an elite member of Lotus Pavilion, but what she didn't tell Gu Momo and Li Zhanting just now was—

In fact, her true identity is that of a genius detective from the Imperial Capital Criminal Police Department.

She was selected for the Imperial Capital Criminal Police Department because of her innate intelligence, and thus began her long undercover training.

So from the moment she joined the Criminal Investigation Department, she was prepared to sacrifice herself for the glorious cause of humanity. Later, she successfully infiltrated Lotus Tower as an undercover agent, and thus began her true undercover career.

In order to gain the trust of Lotus Tower, she fought her way up from the most basic tasks to the present, even at the cost of getting her hands stained with blood, including the blood of her comrades.

Without those sacrifices, she would never have gotten to where she is today, but she has no chance to turn back.

"But Hualing, this isn't your fault! You've endured so much for so many years, all for this moment of light!"

The person on the other end of the phone pleaded with her, but Hua Ling smiled without regret: "Even before dawn, as long as we haven't achieved final victory, someone is destined to shed blood for our victory. Compared to my comrades, I've lived long enough. It's time for me to go down and spend some more time with them."

After saying that, she hung up the phone abruptly, her eyes now clear and bright.

Actually, the news that someone in Lotus Pavilion wanted to defect was deliberately passed on to Gu Momo and Li Zhanting by her.

She endured so much suffering inside for so many years, and finally the dawn of a new day has arrived!

Gu Momo, Li Zhanting, I am willing to give my life to build a bridge to hope for you. Please don't let me down!

...

Gu Momo originally thought that a cautious person like the wealthy businessman Ala would set up his black market businesses in different places so that they wouldn't be wiped out all at once.

But she never expected that Ala would set up an underground bank in the basement of this villa.

After passing through a dark tunnel and stepping behind the camera, the rock layer in front of you automatically opens up. Probably no one could guess that behind that abandoned tunnel scurrying with rats, there was such a luxuriously decorated and unique underground casino.

Gu Momo and Li Zhanting quickly scanned the entire underground bank, their fists clenching tightly!

Any one of these people could be an internationally notorious gang leader, yet this is their playground!

Besides these, there are also many spoiled rich kids. These people are indeed bolder the richer they are!

Under the dim light, Gu Momo leaned close to Li Zhanting and whispered, "It seems we've made a huge haul today. The Emperor Killing Alliance's dirty money is probably all connected to them. Their interests are intertwined, which is why the Emperor Killing Alliance's dirty money has been able to thrive for so long."

“Indeed.” A deep smile crept into Li Zhanting’s eyes. “This is a piece of fat meat!”

After saying that, he deliberately pretended to look at his watch and used the microcomputer on his wrist to send a signal to the Criminal Investigation Department.

At the same time, they secretly notified the subordinates of the Dark Night Alliance and the Glazed Pavilion who were hiding nearby.

The Lotus Pavilion and the underground bank were extremely well hidden, and all internal signals were blocked. Gu Momo and Li Zhanting had anticipated this situation, so they specially prepared this kind of transmitter before coming to avoid the signal interception device.

Li Zhanting lowered his voice: "I have already informed the brothers of the location, but it will take some time for them to secretly take action against these people. We must find a way to buy them more time."

"That's what I think too. We can't deal with them head-on. It all depends on how the brothers perform!"

Just then, Gu Momo seemed to see something: "Let's go take a look over there!"

"good!"

At the giant card table in the very center of the casino, a dozen or so elegantly dressed men and women sat in a circle. The dealer was explaining the rules of the card game, and his arrogant voice immediately drew everyone's attention:

"This card game uses Texas Hold'em. Players share a 52-card deck, with 5 community cards and 2 cards for each player. The player with the highest hand wins. The pre-deposit amount for Texas Hold'em chips is 5 million. If any player has not pre-deposited into the bank's account, please leave the table immediately! Our bank does not accept idlers; if you haven't deposited money, please leave!"

The people at the card table looked around, and in the end, a few of the more timid ones withdrew, which gave Li Zhanting and Gu Momo the opportunity to enter the game.

The dealer shuffled the cards with both hands, then smiled knowingly with a probing look, saying, "Are you two going to join too? But you two don't seem to know each other well?"
