"MoMo, I'll cover you, you go first!" Li Zhanting gripped his pistol, glancing warily at the ventilation duct beside him. "They're all outside now, it'll be difficult for our people to break through!"

"Li Zhanting, don't even think about it!" Gu Momo refused without hesitation. "If we're going to leave, we'll leave together. I will never abandon you!"

Just as the two were arguing, a dark figure crashed through the window and leaped in!

The shattered glass refracted different lights under the lamplight like diamonds. Li Zhanting grabbed Gu Momo and pulled her behind him, instantly pointing the black muzzle of his gun at the man: "Who goes there?!"

Just as he was about to pull the trigger, the shadowy figure swiftly hid behind a stone pillar, and Li Zhanting quickly withdrew his pistol.

As their eyes met, he noticed the shadowy figure's hateful gaze fixed on Gu Momo.

That look immediately made Li Zhanting narrow his eyes warily.

Worried about her safety behind him, Li Zhanting abandoned his attack and instead turned around to hug her, exposing his back to the enemy without any defense.

Gu Momo felt the heavy breathing coming from above her head, and even her heart seemed to skip a beat.

Why does Li Zhanting always disregard his own life like this?!

Her life is precious, but Li Zhanting's life is just as important!

The shadowy figure's murderous eyes turned crimson upon witnessing this scene. "Gu Momo, you truly are a femme fatale!"

He raised his pistol, aimed at the door, and fired a shot in the head, killing the assassin who looked like he had sneaked into the room. He then quickly pulled out another gun from his waist, bypassed Li Zhanting and Gu Momo, and began fighting with the assassin at the door.

Chaos erupted at the scene, as the people from the underground bank were all drawn away by the dark figure!

Li Zhanting narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had sensed something. "It seems he's not an enemy. Momo, be careful!"

“He’s not,” Gu Momo said definitively.

She recognized him the moment he uttered those words—wasn't that Ye Sihan's younger brother, Ye Sijue?!

Although he was wearing a mask, he still looked somewhat similar to his brother.

However, his eyes were colder and filled with more hatred than his brother's.

"The situation is urgent, let's find a way to ensure our safety first!" Gu Momo tiptoed, kissed Li Zhanting on the cheek, picked up the gun from the ground again, and rushed out.

Li Zhanting seemed frozen in place by magic, his fingertips reluctantly touching his face.

Just then, a scream suddenly came from outside: "Oh no! The Criminal Investigation Department is here!!!"

"Ahhh, brothers, run! The Imperial Capital Criminal Investigation Department has surrounded us!"

Immediately afterwards, the roar of a helicopter came from the sky above the top floor, a sound that was both majestic and intimidating!

Gu Momo and Li Zhanting quickly looked out the window and saw countless helicopters arriving in a grand procession. Members of the Criminal Investigation Department, all dressed in dark black uniforms, were well-trained and poured into the underground bank from all directions.

These officers were all seasoned veterans and acted swiftly, catching the underground banks completely off guard!

"Ahhh..." In an instant, the money exchange was filled with the sounds of people running, fleeing, and screaming, creating complete chaos.

The people in the underground bank frantically grabbed the money and prepared to flee, but the police from the Criminal Investigation Department acted even faster, not only arresting all the criminals but also taking away all the illicit money hidden in the bank as evidence.

The once magnificent hall was transformed into a scene of carnage at this moment, with various vaults of money being opened and funds being taken away.

Gu Momo and Li Zhanting were both deeply shocked by the countless huge vaults of money in front of them. They truly deserved to be called wealthy businessmen!

The amount of illicit funds hidden in this bank alone is countless; it would probably take three days and three nights of helicopter transport to remove them all!

Gu Momo couldn't help but laugh and said, "Although we took a risk this time, it was all worth it!"

Underground banks are the core source of wealth for the wealthy businessman Ala. Cutting off his money vault is like cutting off his heart!

At this moment, the director of the Criminal Investigation Department spotted Gu Momo and Li Zhanting from afar. He paused for a moment, then quickly stepped forward:

"Master Ting, Miss Momo! Are you both alright? We owe you both a lot this time. If it weren't for your intelligence, it would have been incredibly difficult for us to crack down on the underground bank!"

Li Zhanting chuckled: "No need to be polite. We've always been partners. Besides, eradicating these criminal gangs is our inescapable responsibility. But please interrogate them carefully; the confessions from these criminals are up to you."

"Don't worry, Mr. Ting, we'll share information. I'll show you all the statements later!"

The director has been a long-time friend of Li Zhanting and Gu Momo, and he has absolute faith in their abilities.

"Thank you very much, Director!" Li Zhanting cupped his hands in thanks. "Director, please handle the affairs here as soon as possible, but please be careful of the Lotus Pavilion and the other people in the Emperor-Slaying Alliance. After all, they should get the news soon, and there may be trouble then."

"Alright! That's exactly what I meant! Mr. Ting and Miss Momo, please make yourselves at home. I'll go take care of things here first!"

After the director finished speaking, he hurriedly went with his subordinates to deal with the underground bank's affairs.

Gu Momo knew that things were complicated here, so she didn't stop them. What she was most worried about now was the Ye family's situation.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile: "We've made good progress this time. The economic pillar behind the Emperor-Slaying Alliance has been severely damaged, and we can slowly infiltrate the Lotus Pavilion's intelligence network. Now the most important thing is to find the leader of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance at the Ye family."

“That’s right.” Li Zhanting continued, “Although we suspect that the leader of the Emperor Killing Alliance may be in the Ye family, we know nothing about the leader’s plans and preparations. I’m afraid we’ll have to put in some effort.”

"We are too unfamiliar with the Ye family, so we can only take it one step at a time."

"Um."

As the two were talking, a mocking voice came from not far away: "Heh, you haven't even found the whereabouts of the last piece of the Blood Jade Ring, yet you still have the audacity to claim that you can find the hiding place of the leader of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance? Gu Momo, you are truly arrogant!"

Gu Momo and Li Zhanting narrowed their eyes and turned to meet Ye Sijue's cold, mocking gaze.

However, Gu Momo was not angry at his arrogant words. Instead, she chuckled and said, "Oh? It seems you are quite interested in the fourth blood jade ring. So you know where that blood jade ring is hidden?"

The blood jade ring that should have been hidden in the royal palace most likely ended up in Ye Sihan's hands.

But now that Ye Sihan is dead, the person most likely to have been close to him is Ye Sijue!
