Chapter 255: Chapter 255: Luring the Snake out of its Hole, the Fish Takes the Bait!
While Su Luo was feeling pleasantly surprised, he had already sensed a large group of strong experts rushing to the top floor.
He no longer hesitated, put all the items into the Storage Ring, and then fled.
The whole person burst out, leaping from the top of the building.
Just then, Wan Yuanhai, Zhao Zhiyuan, and others arrived, only catching a glimpse of a fading shadow, without even getting a clear look at the person.
Wan Yuanhai and Zhao Zhiyuan’s faces changed dramatically.
They rushed to the edge of the shattered window, looking out, but found nothing, not even a shadow.
"This is bad."
Zhao Zhiyuan was the first to return, he went to the metal room and saw it had been cut open, his face turned extremely grim.
Especially when he entered and saw that the place had been completely looted, not a single feather left behind, Zhao Zhiyuan felt a darkness before his eyes and nearly fainted.
"It’s over, we’ve suffered a huge loss!"
Zhao Zhiyuan’s entire face looked as ugly as if he’d eaten a stillborn child.
As the main person in charge of this location, now that these important materials had been stolen, he would definitely be held accountable, and even as an Elder, he would likely face severe punishment.
At this moment, he regretted everything deeply.
If only he hadn’t listened to Wan Yuanhai and gone out to capture Su Luo, but had instead stayed at the Dragon Soul Chamber of Commerce Sub-branch, none of this would have happened.
If there had been an invasion and theft, he could have stopped it immediately.
But now, whatever he said was too late!
"Whoever it is, I must find them and tear them to pieces," Zhao Zhiyuan gritted his teeth.
Wan Yuanhai’s face was also extremely unsightly at this time; he was well aware that he was going to shoulder part of the blame for this incident. He turned to Zhou Shihao and said coldly, "Zhou Shihao, didn’t you get a call saying that Su Luo disguised himself and entered the Hua Feng Building? Do you think this is something Su Luo could have done?"
He knew Su Luo’s strength well enough to realize that even at his strongest, it was only limited to the Master Realm.
He was no match for a Great Grandmaster.
And this treasury was made of a special metal. Without a key, even a Great Grandmaster would not be able to break it open easily in a short time. However, from the traces left at the scene, it was clear that it was dismantled in a few moves.
The most important thing was that the treasury was protected by an array.
But the array was also completely destroyed.
They were incapable of doing so, and Su Luo even less so.
"I..." Right now, Zhou Shihao really could not argue, he did indeed receive the call, and the information from that person was true, otherwise, they wouldn’t have found Su Luo at the Sofitel Hotel.
But Su Luo’s strength surely wasn’t enough to force the treasury open.
The real culprit behind the theft was clearly someone else.
"Could it be that someone deliberately used Su Luo as a decoy to lure us away?" Zhou Shihao soon thought of a possibility.
But he didn’t dare voice this thought, as the message had been reported by him. Once he spoke it out loud, he’d have to take responsibility.
However, Wan Yuanhai was no fool, he also thought of this possibility and snorted coldly, "Someone must have lured the tiger away from the mountain, targeting our treasury resources."
"But if it really was a ruse, why would that person inform us, telling us that Su Luo had already disguised himself and entered the Hua Feng Building? He should have tried to lead us further away, right?" Zhou Shihao voiced the doubt trying to exculpate himself.
"Let’s check on Shen Qingzhi," decided Wan Yuanhai immediately.
If Su Luo had really infiltrated the place, there would only be one place he would go, that being Shen Qingzhi’s room.
Immediately after.
Wan Yuanhai, Zhao Zhiyuan, and Zhou Shihao, along with the rest, rushed to the outside of Shen Qingzhi’s room at the highest speed, and without entering, they probed with their spiritual power.
They discovered that inside the room, there was only Shen Qingzhi, who was cultivating in the way they had instructed, with nothing out of the ordinary.
"Shen Qingzhi hadn’t left, which means Su Luo didn’t come?"
Zhou Shihao furrowed his brows.
Because, in his view, the reason why Su Luo had found this place and stayed in a five-star hotel just one street away from the Dragon Soul Chamber of Commerce was to come for Shen Qingzhi.
If Su Luo had really infiltrated their ranks outside, he would have done everything possible to take Shen Qingzhi away.
But the current situation wasn’t like this.
"Find out for me, we must find out who owns that mobile number. Daring to target our Dragon Soul Chamber of Commerce, they really must be tired of living!"
Zhao Zhiyuan immediately asked Zhou Shihao for the number and arranged for people to investigate right away.
At the same time, he also issued an order to strictly prevent the news from getting out, for if he could retrieve the stolen item before the headquarter discovered this incident, then he wouldn’t be severely punished.
...
Outside the Hua Feng Building.
Su Luo had not actually left.
He was in an invisible state, concealing his own aura; under the cover of the Chaos Bead, as long as he didn’t actively use his Divine Sense to probe, and simply stayed still without moving, even the spiritual power of a Martial Great Grandmaster would have difficulty detecting his presence.
Therefore.
The conversations between Wan Yuanhai, Zhou Shihao, Zhao Zhiyuan, and others were all heard by Su Luo.
"Who exactly called Zhou Shihao, leaking my information?"
Su Luo’s expression turned frosty.
The people who knew that he was coming to Jintian City were few, and those who knew exactly that he stayed at Sofitel Hotel were no one else but An Ran and Li Zong.
"Could it be that Li Zong reported to the An Family of the Capital, and the people from the An Family want to take the opportunity to eliminate me with the help of the Dragon Soul Chamber of Commerce?"
Su Luo suddenly thought of a possibility, which made his expression quite grave.
But he still didn’t leave immediately.
Only when he was sure that people like Wan Yuanhai, Zhou Shihao, and Zhao Zhiyuan were not going to trouble Aunt Shen did he then conceal his form and quietly leave the Hua Feng Building.
However.
Su Luo didn’t return to the Sofitel Hotel right away, nor did he contact An Ran or Li Zong for the time being. Instead, he was pondering over who could have betrayed him.
A moment later.
A plan began to form in his mind.
Su Luo no longer stayed invisible. He stopped disguising himself and reverted to his original appearance but pretended to be severely injured and escaping from the Hua Feng Building.
To make the act convincing.
Not only did Su Luo pretend to be gravely injured, but he also stained his clothes with blood and smeared a fair amount of blood around his mouth.
At least at first glance, it looked like he was seriously injured and quite pitiable.
In a panic, he fled with all his might under the cover of night.
Just a minute later.
Su Luo sensed a powerful presence approaching him.
Had the fish taken the bait?
Su Luo’s expression was cold.
But the vigilance he displayed was immediate, and he instinctively prepared to strike back.
However, a voice suddenly rang out beside him:
"Su Luo, don’t be nervous, it’s me, I’ve come to save you!"
A figure emerged from the shadows.
