Chapter 79 The Blood Bank of Sin
Late at night, a refrigerated truck bearing the words "Shanghai Fresh Produce" turned off its headlights and silently glided out of the back gate of the Chunlei Children's Welfare Institute.
As soon as the car merged into the main road, a black Volga sedan quietly followed from a street corner not far away.
In the driver's seat, Li Hu lowered the brim of his hat, revealing only a pair of sharp, hawk-like eyes.
The welfare home was deathly silent.
Bai Shu was dressed in a black outfit, her long hair neatly tied back, and she looked like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath, devoid of any extra warmth.
Six men followed behind her.
They were elites sent by Zheng Kai, all of them were desperate criminals who had survived life-threatening situations.
Bai Shu had already memorized the internal structure diagram that Zheng Kai provided.
The group bypassed all the blind spots of the surveillance cameras and, like ghosts, headed straight for the standalone logistics building.
The entrance to the underground cold storage is located in the building's storage room.
As soon as I got close, a burnt smell wafted out from under the door.
From inside came Zhou Yali's shrill and frantic shouts: "Quick! Burn it all! Don't leave a single scrap of paper!"
Bai Zhu made a gesture.
A burly man stepped forward from behind, without using any fancy techniques, he simply gathered his strength in his shoulder and slammed into him!
"Bang!"
The heavy iron door, its lock flying off, the door panel dented inward, and it burst open with a loud crash.
Inside the door, several thugs were burning something around a large iron basin, startled by the sudden turn of events.
Zhou Yali screamed in fright and collapsed to the ground, her face as pale as a ghost.
"Who...who are you people?!"
A blond thug, looking fierce but actually weak, roared and grabbed an iron rod.
His answer was a dark shadow that seemed to break through the air.
Zheng Kai's men made their move.
No nonsense, no hesitation.
The burly man at the front crashed directly into the two men's arms, and the cracking sound of bones breaking was clearly audible.
Another thin man, who had somehow acquired two short daggers, wielded them with both hands. With two muffled groans, the remaining two thugs clutched their wrists and fell to their knees, the iron rods clattering to the ground.
The entire process takes no more than five seconds.
The air was filled only with the heavy smell of blood and the painful groans of a few thugs.
Bai Shu stepped over the mess on the ground and slowly walked to Zhou Yali, who was limp as a board.
The scent of perfume mixed with sweat on Zhou Yali made her feel nauseous. The thick layer of foundation on her face was washed away by cold sweat, leaving white streaks that looked both comical and pathetic.
"You...you stay away!"
Zhou Yali scrambled backward, her voice trembling uncontrollably.
Bai Shu didn't say anything, but simply raised his foot, his black boot, and stepped on Zhou Yali's fat hand.
"ah--!"
Zhou Yali let out a shrill scream as her hand bones creaked as they were stepped on.
Where is "Zhulong"?
Bai Zhu looked down at him, his voice icy and devoid of any emotion.
The excruciating pain contorted Zhou Yali's face, but when she finally saw Bai Shu's face, her fear was gradually replaced by a mad, resentful rage.
She suddenly stopped yelling and instead started laughing hysterically, the sound of which seemed particularly jarring in the empty basement.
"Too late... Hahahaha! You're too late!"
Zhou Yali, disheveled and looking like a madwoman, shouted, "The stuff has already been moved! Just now! You'll never find it!"
She glared fiercely at Bai Shu.
"Let me tell you, you can't beat Second Master! You never will! You little bitch, and that little beast Lu Jingyan, you both have to die! You both have to die!"
Zheng Kai's subordinate's eyes sharpened, and he looked at Bai Shu for instructions.
With just a nod, they have hundreds of ways to get this crazy woman to talk.
But Bai Shu's eyes remained completely expressionless.
She seemed not to hear Zhou Yali's curses and said calmly to the people behind her, "Break down that wall for me."
She pointed to the back of the cold storage, behind a row of frozen meat shelves. It looked no different from the other walls.
Zhou Yali's laughter stopped abruptly, her pupils contracted sharply, and all color drained from her face, leaving only boundless fear.
"No...don't..."
No one paid any attention to her cries of pain. A burly man swung a sledgehammer and brought it down hard.
"boom!"
A strong, pungent smell of Lysol and blood, mixed with an indescribable stench of decay, assaulted my senses.
Behind the door was a space even larger than a cold storage room.
This is no longer a warehouse, but a fully equipped underground operating room that is terrifying!
Operating table, electrocardiogram monitor, ventilator, and rows of glass cabinets filled with all sorts of sophisticated instruments whose names I don't know.
The white sheet on the operating table was not clean; it was covered with large patches of dried, blackened blood.
On the stainless steel tray next to it, there were blood-stained gauze and a scalpel.
Zheng Kai's men, who were used to life and death, couldn't help but gasp, feeling a chill run from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.
What's most unsettling is the wall directly opposite the entrance.
It was a network diagram drawn with dense lines and names.
At the center is the "Spring Bud Welfare Home," from which countless lines extend, connecting dozens of well-known hospitals and biological research institutes at home and abroad, as well as a long list of names.
Behind each name are labels indicating their identity, position, contact information, and even some secret quirks.
Among them, several names circled in red pen were none other than several high-ranking figures!
This is not a relationship diagram; it is clearly a sinister network of transactions drawn with the blood and lives of children!
More direct and deadly evidence than the "Candle Dragon" itself!
With it, Lu Wenbo and all those shady dealings behind him will not be able to escape!
Bai Shu's chest heaved violently, but she forcefully suppressed it again.
She took out a small camera and, calmly and meticulously, photographed all the evidence against the wall.
...
On the other side, along the Huangpu River, stands a long-abandoned dock.
The refrigerated truck was parked at the end of the dock, and the surrounding area was deathly silent.
Li Hu parked his car some distance away and observed through binoculars.
Soon, a dilapidated jeep pulled up, and several tall white men jumped out.
The leader was a man with a hooked nose, fierce eyes, bulging temples, and an aura of danger emanating from him.
“It’s ‘Wild Dogs’,” Li Hu whispered into the walkie-talkie.
From the other end of the walkie-talkie came Lu Jingyan's icy voice: "Prepare to close the net."
Just as Li Hu gave the signal, and the police officers and soldiers lying in ambush all around were about to rush out—
"Waaah—waaah—"
Several sharp engine roars, growing louder as they approached, shattered the tranquility of the rainy night!
Several black, high-speed speedboats sped across the dark river like arrows released from a bow.
The bright searchlight beams instantly illuminated the entire dock as if it were daytime, precisely locking onto the refrigerated truck and the fishing boat.
Both the "Wild Dogs" members and the contact person who got off the truck were taken aback by this sudden turn of events.
At the bow of the foremost speedboat, a woman stood proudly.
She wore a dark green silk cheongsam with a very high slit. As the evening breeze blew, her snow-white thighs were faintly visible in the night, exuding a deadly allure.
It was none other than Huo Sanniang!
Behind her stood rows of Hongmen thugs dressed in black suits, each holding a weapon and exuding a murderous aura.
"Excuse me, bosses."
Huo San Niang's voice came through a small loudspeaker, carrying a hint of coquettish languor, yet it clearly reached every corner of the dock.
"Tonight, I, Huo Sanniang, will take all of you, including this batch of goods and your lives."
