The cooperation between Fangtani and Matsuda
While the three men above were holding a joint trial, the chaos below had already begun. With a loud bang, the door to the banquet hall was kicked open from the outside, and the masked and armed robber walked in.
The guests who were waiting for the banquet to begin were caught off guard and turned around to see this scene with their wine glasses in hand. Before their brains could react, screams burst out of their throats.
"ah--!"
The goblet flew out of his hand and hit the ground with a dull thud. Hearing the screams from inside, Furuya Rei rushed over without hesitation, pulling back the curtain to check on the situation. Seeing Furuya Rei rushing over, Shigure Yueling's pupils shrank, and she grasped in the air, throwing a card.
"Illusion!" The thrown cards flew towards Fūya Rei who was running towards the terrace. The illusion cards appeared in the form of patterns in a kaleidoscope, distorting the air.
Having caught up, Shi Yu Yueling breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Lucia. The two exchanged glances, and Shi Yu Yueling walked towards the terrace, while Lucia and Albert stood guard at the door on each side.
The leader of the robbers downstairs was arrogantly shouting to the people in the house: "There is a bomb installed here. If you want to live, you can pay 1 billion US dollars each and get out. If you don't want to live..." The robber who shouted snorted and pulled the trigger in his hand, firing a bullet at the ceiling of the banquet hall.
"Can you sense how many there are?" Fūya Ling asked Shigure Yueling who walked beside him.
"There are not many people, but the important thing is that there are seven bombs here, installed in different locations in the banquet hall." Shi Yu Yue Ling's face looked a little ugly. She had just left the vortex in Japan, and she didn't expect to encounter such a thing in the UK. So she didn't use magic to pay attention to the surrounding situation. After all, she and Furuya Zero had to go back soon.
"Where is the detonator? Who has it?" Fūya Ling was calculating how to deal with the robbers and planned to take the detonator back alone.
"It's not in the hands of any of them." Shi Yu Yueling's face was dark and she was worried. She turned her head and glanced at Seral in the house. The key detonator was not on him.
After much thought, Shi Yu Yue Ling frowned and pondered a way to break the deadlock: "It's too hasty to capture Serral. We alerted the enemy. The big fish has already escaped, and the detonator has probably been taken away. I can hear the sound of a stopwatch. The bomb has started the countdown. We can only dismantle it. Did you learn it in school?" She looked at the situation downstairs and whispered to Jōgō Rei beside her.
"You'll know only after you see the bomb." Jiang Gu Ling's heart sank to the bottom, and his expression was as solemn as it could be. What Shi Yu Yue Ling said meant that her magic could not handle it.
"The Mirror Card's teleport is currently on cooldown, otherwise it could have been thrown directly into the sea." Shi Yu Yue Ling was irritated and quickly reported the location of the seven bombs to Fūya Ling. "Let's split up. You and Albert will defuse the bombs. Ayu and I will buy you some time and hold off the people below to prevent them from disturbing you."
There was really no other way. Fūya Rei glanced at Shigure Yueling's profile out of the corner of his eye and said, "Be careful." Then he retreated back into the house and left the room with Albert. Lucia walked to Shigure Yueling and looked down through the gap in the terrace fence.
Ten billion in liquid funds is not a small amount. They all brought their female companions to the party, and if they wanted to leave, they would have to pay 2 billion. Some people naturally didn't want to pay, but no one dared to stand up and negotiate with the robbers. The one who originally stood up even tried to negotiate with the robbers, saying that he would let his family come to send them off. After all, it was impossible for them to carry so much money with them all the time.
Of course the robbers would not agree to let them contact the outside world, as it would be bad if MI6 was attracted. They said they only accepted bank cards from the on-site POS machine.
It's really exquisite. Shi Yu Yue Ling above twitched her eyes. I really don't know how these idiots felt when they knew they were being used.
"We really have to pay?" Lucia was surprised. Even if her family was rich, they couldn't come up with such a large sum of money. There were hundreds of people in the banquet hall, and 2 billion per person would be tens of billions.
"KK has it." Shi Yu Yueling said and then shouted to the robbers below: "We'll give it to you. I've taken all the money from everyone here." She took out a black card and threw it down.
"GOOD!" The robber smiled brightly when he saw the fat sheep, and immediately asked someone to pick up the card.
There was a commotion in the banquet hall. Some people were asking who the person who stood up was. No one had seen Shi Yu Yue Ling's face, but some people noticed Lucia next to her.
"Is the Sofield family really that rich? Then what kind of investment are they trying to attract? Why are they holding this banquet?"
"Lucia is the rich one. What does that have to do with Serral? The one who called us here today was the adopted son of the Sofield family. This one is the rich lady."
"It seems old Sofield has left his fortune to his daughter after all. I was wondering why I've only seen the adopted son and not his biological daughter all these years. It turns out his biological daughter has enough money, and the adopted son is just a laborer."
"By the way, do you know why old Sofield wanted to adopt a son?"
"I don't know. They suddenly announced they had adopted a child. But I heard that old Sofield was in poor health at the time. After having this son, his health actually improved. He also had a daughter in his old age, but the daughter died after she was born."
"Boss, it's true!" The robber holding the POS machine's eyes almost popped out of his head. The string of zeros on it was enough to make people's eyes dizzy.
They were happy, but there were unhappy people on the other side of the ocean. Lucia was shocked, staring at Shi Yu Yue Ling beside her with wide eyes. "Did KK actually give all her bank cards to you, Yue Yue? Isn't her current balance too low to apply for a secondary card?"
Shi Yuyueling's eyes wandered, and she looked away guiltily and said, "I used a double card to copy a card. In essence, this card is actually the original KK bank card. Of course, the one she has is also the original."
"Does KK know about this?" Luxia broke out in a cold sweat for Shi Yu Yueling. If KK knew that Yueyue had secretly copied a card and used it to spend so much money, would Yueyue still be able to survive when she returned?
"Of course she knows." Yu Yueling felt even more guilty when she said this. It wasn't because she was lying, but because she knew KK knew she had a duplicate card. So why would she need to explain who spent all that money after deducting so much? KK was absolutely going to explode.
Things turned out just as Shi Yuyueling had expected. The moment Qi Ning saw the debit information, she almost jumped up. She thought she had seen it wrong, but after a closer look, she confirmed that she was not wrong!
"Shi Yuyueling! What on earth did you do?! Did you buy your own life?" Qi Ning's furious roar almost blew the roof off. Although she was rich now, she still couldn't change her habit of feeling pain when seeing bills coming out. This huge sum of money was even more likely to cost her life.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? What's wrong?" Even from such a long distance, Wangyue upstairs was called down, curious about what had happened to make KK so angry.
"Look for yourself! How much did she spend! Did she buy Britain? If she could buy Britain with this amount of money, it would be fine! The key is, can she do it?" Qi Ning, who was furious, showed his cell phone to Wangyue. He didn't notice that a call came in at this time. His finger touched the answer button and the call was connected.
"Hello, Miss Qi Ning, can I get rid of you and call Matsuda? I don't have his cell phone number."
Fūya Ling? Why would he call this place? Qi Ning was surprised. He turned his phone to look at the unfamiliar number and asked hesitantly, "What happened? Yueyue just spent a lot of money. Did you guys run into anything?"
"The party held at Miss Lucia Sofield's house was hijacked. They demanded a ransom of 2 billion from each person. They installed seven bombs in the party hall. I don't know the structure of the bombs. That guy Matsuda has been studying knowledge related to bomb disposal. I need him to come to the mirror and help me dismantle these seven bombs." Furiya Rei explained the matter quickly.
Qi Ning also reacted quickly. He calmed down immediately and replied, "I'll call him right away. Yueyue has already agreed with you, right? Just find a mirror."
"No, let that bastard Matsuda go to the entrance of the police academy. Mr. Kazami has a mirror marked with a [Mirror] sign. From such a distance, Shigure can only sense the mirror that was marked before."
"I understand." Qi Ning hung up the phone and immediately called Matsuda Jinpei.
The rapid ringing sounded, piercing his eardrums and causing chaos. Matsuda Jinpei immediately opened his eyes and angrily took out the phone from under his pillow. How could someone call at three in the morning? When he found it and saw it was Qi Ning, he could only suppress his rage and ran to the bathroom to answer the call.
"You little bitch, you'd better be busy at this late hour!" Jinpei Matsuda threatened in a low voice, gritting his teeth.
At any other time, Qi Ning would have teased him, but with lives at stake, there was no time for hesitation. She clearly relayed the good things that Furuya Rei had said, "It couldn't be more positive! Go right now to the entrance of your police academy and find someone named Kazami Yuya. Use the mirror next to him to contact Yueyue and help Furuya Rei defuse the bomb."
Matsuda Jinpei instantly came to his senses. Half believing and half doubting Qi Ning's words, he climbed out the window, left the dormitory building, and rushed to the police academy gate. He asked Qi Ning in disbelief, "What's going on? How did that golden-haired bastard and that magic lady encounter a bomb? Is there no way to solve it with magic?"
"I want to know what's going on, too!" Qi Ning was even more impatient than Matsuda Jinpei. What on earth had happened over there? What was the situation? Were the robbers related to the organization? Why couldn't they use magic?
"Don't worry. Yueyue's current magic power has traveled such a long distance to England. It is very likely that her magic power has been exhausted. She may not be in danger." The voice of Wangyue comforting Qi Ning was faintly heard on the other end of the phone, which also soothed the anxiety in Matsuda Jinpei's heart.
After receiving the message, Yuya Kazami planned to drive to find someone who could defuse the bomb, but was firmly rejected by Rei Furuya on the other side. The fewer people knew that Shigure Yueling could do magic, the better. He always knew that Shigure Yueling was wary of corrupt officials within the police force, so he would never let Yuya Kazami contact anyone.
After being sternly rejected, Kazami Yuya could only wait at the door. Fortunately, Matsuda Jinpei arrived quickly. When he saw the bomb reflected in the mirror, he said that he had just studied it in a book and could solve it.
Yuya Kazami, who was standing by, was worried about the two trainees who were studying how to defuse the bomb, but he was not good at it, so he could only wait anxiously.
