In the empty underground vault, only a pile of bedding and sheets were haphazardly thrown on the ground; everything else had vanished!
Tanaka rubbed his eyes, making sure what he was seeing wasn't a hallucination. Finally regaining his senses, his face contorted in shock, he pointed at everything before him, trembling: "Robert, what's going on?!"
Zhuang Yihao was even more shocked and stunned than Tanaka. When he heard Tanaka call him by his English name and question him, he replied in confusion, "Mr. Tanaka, weren't you enjoying yourself with a beauty last night? The treasury shouldn't have looked like this then, right?"
The treasure vault's doors could only be opened by him and Tanaka working together. He was the one who escorted Tanaka and his female companion down last night, when the vault was still full.
"I don't want to hear what you're saying! I just want to know why my treasure trove is empty! What happened?" Mr. Tanaka glared at Zhuang Yihao and roared.
He couldn't listen to anything Zhuang Yihao said that was off-topic at this moment.
Zhuang Yihao's expression was also very unpleasant. After a moment, he suddenly walked inside, as he still didn't know the situation of the two treasure vaults!
On the opposite wall, Zhuang Yihao went to the wall next to the iron gate, found a dent, stretched out his index finger and pressed it in, sliding it a few times, and the iron gate in front of them spun open in front of them.
Under normal circumstances, the iron gate will be blocked and cannot be opened because the other side of the iron gate is full of treasure chests.
But now the iron gate opens very smoothly, and on its other side, an even larger treasure vault, is also completely empty, without a single blade of grass.
Zhuang Yihao continued forward, then opened another iron gate. Tanaka, breathing unevenly, followed behind him, watching as scenes unfolded before his eyes that made him want to destroy everything.
Mr. Tanaka watched all this with eyes wide with rage. After taking several rapid breaths, he turned around and slapped Zhuang Yihao hard across the face.
"You bastard! How dare you embezzle my treasure trove! Do you want to make an enemy of our entire country?"
Tanaka slapped Zhuang Yihao with all his might, and a trace of blood trickled from the corner of Zhuang Yihao's mouth. His gaze turned icy cold because of the sudden slap.
He pressed his tongue against his cheek expressionlessly; there was a taste of blood in it.
“Mr. Tanaka, I know you are angry at what you have seen. But please believe me, I am equally shocked and completely unaware of what happened. We have been working together for so long, you should know my character. I would not do something that would dig my own grave.”
What we need to do right now is to find out as soon as possible who stole our treasure without anyone knowing, instead of standing here suspecting each other, stirring up trouble, and fighting amongst ourselves.
Every opening of the treasure vault requires our combined efforts, and you've always held the reins of control, Tanaka. I don't want to hear you doubt me without reason anymore!
Zhuang Yihao finished speaking with a cold expression. From childhood to adulthood, no one had ever dared to lay a hand on him. If it weren't for the fact that the treasure trove disappeared within his underground castle, and if he couldn't explain the reason for this incident, he would have chopped off the hand that Tanaka was swinging at him immediately.
"Everyone here is your man, and everything is under your control!"
Last night, the treasure vault was full, but in just one night, it was completely looted.
"Zhuang Jun, I find it hard to trust you anymore!"
Mr. Tanaka had calmed down somewhat, but his anger had not diminished at all, and he spoke forcefully.
Zhuang Yihao turned and walked outside: "I will now have someone thoroughly investigate all the surveillance footage inside and outside the castle, as well as all the people who have come and gone. If Mr. Tanaka wants to continue this pointless argument, then you can stay here."
