Chapter 570 The Star-Plucker (Thirty-Seven)
Seeing Su Li clutching the porcelain bottle, too afraid to move, Zhou Zhiyun already guessed what was going on.
Just as he was about to go over, Shen Fanxing grabbed his arm: "Don't worry about her for now. Let me tell you, there's a hidden door behind that bookshelf."
Zhou Zhiyun glanced at Shen Fanxing a few times to make sure she wasn't injured. Although she was surprised to see her there, it wasn't the time to chat. As Shen Fanxing had instructed, she went over and tapped on the books on the bookshelf.
The bookshelf magically opened to both sides, revealing a secret passage.
Zhou Zhiyun did not rush downstairs, but instead used a walkie-talkie to contact the outside world.
Seeing that Zhou Zhiyun and Shen Fanxing were busy and had no intention of paying attention to her, Su Li became a little anxious: "Fanxing..."
Shen Fanxing glanced at her: "Keep your voice down. If the whole house explodes, you won't survive either."
Soon, several more special forces soldiers came in, carrying bomb disposal tools, and whispered to Zhou Zhiyun, "Everything outside is done."
"But now, there's no time."
Zhou Zhiyun checked the time: "It's alright, you guys make sure they're safe, I'm going down."
Carrying the bomb disposal equipment, Shen Fanxing entered through the hidden door. Afraid of disturbing Zhou Zhiyun, she suppressed the urge to speak.
A special forces soldier took the porcelain bottle from Su Li's hand, carefully placed it on the table, and prepared to defuse the bomb.
Su Li felt her body stiffen and couldn't move. She went over and hugged Shen Fanxing tightly: "Fanxing, we won't die here, will we?"
Shen Fanxing was disgusted, but couldn't push him away: "No, alright, stop crying. Instead of crying, think about how to go out and earn money to pay off your debts."
Su Li immediately fell silent. After she left, she had no money to pay off her debts, and her life remained just as miserable.
Whether it was because Zhu Wenliang was unlucky or Zhou Zhiyun and the others were just too lucky, they managed to destroy the villa's explosive device without much effort once they got inside.
Only after confirming that there were no bombs did they contact the police outside.
Before Zhu Wenliang could understand what was happening, he was captured alive, and the few people around him who resisted were shot dead on the spot.
Once Su Li knew she was safe, she sat on the ground, unable to get up.
Zhou Zhiyun then had a chance to pull Shen Fanxing aside: "What are you doing here?"
Shen Fanxing grinned and said, "Auntie knew I was coming here, and she even put a bulletproof vest on me because she was worried I would get hurt."
She had always felt that Zhu Wenliang was no good, and that his attempt to take Guan Gong from her was motivated by some ulterior motive.
He wanted to get close to her and take advantage of her.
She didn't believe that Zhu Wenliang, with such a large business, hadn't investigated her. He must have investigated her before getting close to her.
She wasn't very famous, and she didn't have much money. Zhu Wenliang went to great lengths, so it must be because of the Zhou family.
When Shen Fanxing thought of the Zhou family, the first person she thought of was Zhou Zhiyun.
So after telling Jiang Zhizhi about investigating Zhu Wenliang, Shang Xingzhou gave her the investigation report the next day.
It was discovered that Zhu Wenliang's rise to wealth was not so honorable. Although he is now a very famous businessman, he has close ties with several foreign intelligence organizations and has long been under scrutiny.
Previously, he had taken some Thangka paintings and other cultural relics out of Tibet, and Zhu Wenliang was also responsible for the border conflict in Tibet.
He secretly helped those who caused trouble and escorted them out of the country several times.
Previously, Zhou Zhiyun and his group had arrested him once, but for some reason, he was exonerated and left with a clear conscience.
This time, in Beijing, he showed his true colors again.
Zhou Zhiyun was urgently summoned back to participate in the operation to arrest Zhu Wenliang.
Although Shang Xingzhou's investigation didn't include these details, it was still clear that he wasn't a good person; he smuggled cultural relics and sold intelligence.
Jiang Zhizhi didn't want Shen Fanxing to meet Zhu Wenliang, fearing something might happen to her.
It was only at this point that Shen Fanxing realized that Zhou Zhiyun would encounter an accident in this matter, so she would definitely come.
Although she couldn't help, Zhou Zhiyun would be safe just by her standing there.
Her assurance left Jiang Zhizhi half-believing and half-doubting. She didn't know how Shen Fanxing could be so confident, nor did she know what methods Shen Fanxing had to turn the whole situation around.
Therefore, Zhou Xiye was asked to prepare a bulletproof vest for Jiang Zhizhi, just in case.
Shen Fanxing knew that Zhou Zhiyun had to return to the team to do a summary, so she urged him, "You go ahead and do your work, I'll go home and wait for you."
Although Zhou Zhiyun had a lot to say, now was not the time. He patted the top of her head and said, "Okay, I'll go first."
Shen Fanxing and Su Li went out, and a car took them home.
Su Li still felt lingering fear when she thought about it: "Fanxing, how did you know? If you knew, why did you still come?"
Shen Fanxing was in a good mood at the moment: "It's nothing. That Guan Yu was originally flawed. He was dug out of an ancient tomb and has a lot of yin energy."
“Don’t bring this kind of thing home so easily. That day, Zhu Wenliang was following me the whole time, so I pretended to take a fancy to this Guan Yu and tricked him into bringing it home.”
"After taking it back, he didn't take it to heart at all, just left it lying around in the house. If that's not cheating him, then who is he cheating?"
Su Li felt a chill run down her spine: "Is it really that amazing?"
Shen Fanxing shrugged: "You don't have to believe in these things, but you must have a sense of awe. Also, if you don't understand them, just stay away from them."
Su Li clasped her hands together with Chen Fanxing's: "Fanxing, I really...you're not a reincarnation of a deity, are you?"
Shen Fanxing chuckled: "If I were a reincarnated deity, would I still be so poor? Would I still be fooled by you time and time again?"
Su Li was stumped by the question, paused for a moment, and didn't know what to say.
As soon as they arrived in the city, Shen Fanxing asked to get off the bus. She wanted to take a taxi home by herself and didn't want to sit in the same car as Su Li, as it was too unlucky.
Su Li was too ashamed to speak to Shen Fanxing, and even more afraid that she would anger Shen Fanxing and make things worse for herself.
After Shen Fanxing got off the bus, she took a taxi back to Zhou Zhiyun's place, where Zhou Xiye and Jiang Zhizhi were waiting.
Even the merchant guild is there.
Seeing Shen Fanxing return, Jiang Zhizhi finally felt relieved: "Are you alright?"
Shen Fanxing shook her head and smiled, "It went very smoothly, without any mistakes."
Jiang Zhizhi then asked her son, "Where's Zhiyun? Is she alright too?"
Shen Fanxing shook her head again: "It's okay, he went back to a meeting and will be back later."
Jiang Zhizhi was completely relieved: "That was really scary. I heard from your Uncle Zhou that Zhu Wenliang buried half a ton of explosives around the villa, enough to level the entire villa."
Zhou Xiye was also worried, so he made a rare phone call to Zhou Zhiyun's superior to inquire about the situation.
Shen Fanxing exclaimed in surprise, "So many?"
Sure enough, if it weren't for their good luck, they would all be smashed to pieces by now.
I just can't understand it: "Zhu Wenliang has a criminal record, so why is he still so arrogant and able to get away with it all this time?"
Zhou Xiye explained to her: "Because someone is protecting Zhu Wenliang."
Jiang Zhizhi held Shen Fanxing's hand: "Fanxing, thank you this time."
