29: Loot it again!

Inside the warehouse, Bai Wanning quietly breathed a sigh of relief, first dealing with the surveillance equipment hidden in the corner.

Afterward, she began to work, placing boxes of weapons into her spatial ring.

The once fully stocked warehouse gradually became empty, not even a single bullet remaining.

"Did you hear something?" The Thug outside frowned, asking his companion, feeling as though a strange scraping sound had just passed his ear.

"Huh? I didn't hear anything," the other Thug casually replied. Seeing his tense expression, he patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't be so paranoid. Look at this spooky place the boss found, right next to the forest. It's perfectly normal to hear some strange sounds."

Thinking about it, he was right, so the Thug stopped overthinking and continued his normal patrol.

Meanwhile, Bai Wanning, having finished her cleanup, ran back to her car, patting her chest.

For a moment there, she truly thought she was finished.

If the Thug had just glanced into the car, even with her invisibility talisman, she might have been discovered, after all, her car was still parked in its original spot!

It seems that next time she trades with that woman, she must bring up the matter of a teleportation talisman. Relying solely on invisibility, if she ever made a mistake, she could lose everything.

Of course, killing was also an option, but Bai Wanning hadn't fallen to that level yet.

Those Thugs were just doing their duty and hadn't provoked her, so she naturally wouldn't kill them... The next evening, Lu Gui brought a client to the warehouse again.

"Mr. Clayton, you will definitely be satisfied with this batch of goods," Lu Gui said with a fawning smile, trying his best to please the other party, "What I've brought this time are all the latest model rifles, and also..."

As he spoke, he reached out and pushed open the warehouse door.

However, as soon as he pushed open the door, what greeted his eyes were empty walls and a floor so clean it almost reflected his image.

The boxes full of weapons were long gone.

The warehouse immediately fell into a chilling silence.

Two seconds later, a heart-wrenching scream pierced the night.

"Ahhh!!!" Lu Gui screamed hysterically, his heart seemingly bleeding as he rushed into the warehouse.

He rubbed his eyes, looking left and right, but no matter how he looked, there was no sign of the weapon boxes that should have been piled high.

Lu Gui absolutely refused to believe he had been robbed! He still wouldn't give up, frantically looking around the warehouse as if those boxes of weapons were just something he'd overlooked. But the reality was... he found nothing.

He suddenly turned to face the guards, shouting exaggeratedly and angrily, "Where are the boxes!?" He shrieked, his voice hoarse, "Where are those boxes?! Where did they go?!"

The Thugs also had shocked expressions; there had been no abnormalities last night, so how could the warehouse have been ransacked out of thin air?

Seeing the guards standing dumbfounded, Lu Gui immediately flew into a rage.

He suppressed his anger and ordered through gritted teeth, "Go check the surveillance! Why are you all standing there like idiots staring at my face?!"

"Yes!"

The Thugs snapped out of their daze and immediately rushed to the security room. Lu Gui quickly turned to Mr. Clayton, his face instantly replaced with a greasy and fawning smile.

"Mr. Clayton, I'm truly sorry... But please rest assured, I will definitely replace the weapons you ordered as soon as possible."

Mr. Clayton was also an old hand; he just smiled at Lu Gui without saying a word.

Instead, he said in a gentle tone, "No need to be too nervous, Mr. Lu. We've been doing business for so many years; of course, I'll give you time to recover the lost goods."

He spoke considerate words, but he didn't even mention a promise regarding payment.

Lu Gui, of course, understood his meaning. Even though he was furious, he could only respond with a smiling face.

"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Clayton," Lu Gui bowed his head, a docile smile on his face, but in his heart, he wished he could strangle the old fox on the spot.

Clayton snorted lightly and turned to leave.

As soon as the man left, Lu Gui suddenly straightened his back and spat heavily on the ground. "Pah! That old geezer! I gave him so much face before, and now he actually wants to step on me to climb higher!"

Anger surged in his chest, but he knew this was not the time to lose his temper.

He quickly ran to the security room, kicked open the door, and roared furiously, "Who is it?! Which bastard dared to steal my things?!"

With so many surveillance cameras, it was impossible for them to have captured nothing!

"Boss... the surveillance didn't capture anything," a security guard cautiously replied.

"What did you say?!" Lu Gui felt his head explode with a "buzz."

"The cameras... didn't capture anything," the security guard repeated, bracing himself.

Lu Gui almost fainted on the spot after hearing that. "What do you mean 'didn't capture anything'?!"

"Get out of the way!" He roared, pushing aside the Thug in front of him, and rushed to the monitor, pressing several buttons in a row, fast-forwarding, rewinding, and repeatedly checking the footage.

The result was just as the man had said... the screen was empty.

"This... how is this possible..." he murmured, terror gradually appearing in his eyes.

That was two hundred million worth of goods! He had almost invested all his capital!

His vision went black, and he almost fainted, but he forcefully held himself up, suppressing this fatal blow deep in his heart... In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.

Lu Gui still hadn't recovered from the blow of losing his goods. He lay on a hospital bed, his eyes vacant, staring blankly at the ceiling.

He looked as if he had already died.

Bai Wanning, who had come to visit, found his near-death appearance rather amusing.

Seeing Lu Gui's desperate look, Bai Wanning's heart was already blooming with joy.

However, as she stepped into the ward, her face had already taken on a perfectly appropriate expression of worry and concern, her demeanor gentle, her expression sincere, as if she were a truly thoughtful visitor.

Gu Zhijun, sitting by the bed, looked up and saw Bai Wanning, a little surprised. This woman was the person she least wanted to face.

"Miss Bai," Gu Zhijun forced herself to remain calm and politely nodded to her.

Even Lu Gui, lying motionless on the hospital bed, turned his head at this moment, frowning as he stared at Bai Wanning.

"What is she doing here?" he muttered to himself, but soon, a hint of triumph appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He misunderstood Bai Wanning's intention, thinking she had come to apologize.

"Madam Gu," Bai Wanning smiled in response, her posture graceful and poised.

She turned her head to look at Lu Gui, only to see him staring at her smugly, his appearance repulsive.

She subtly twitched the corner of her mouth, placed the bouquet in her hand on the bedside table, and then unhurriedly spoke: "CEO Lu, are you doing well recently?"
