Liu Jinzhi’s Grand Distraction
Liu Jinzhi's commotion unintentionally helped Lin Nannan evade the heaviest firepower, allowing her to sneak straight inside. The people inside, who had heard no prior disturbance, were completely blindsided. By the time they realized an outsider had broken in, Lin Nannan had already vanished.
Unaware of the chaos outside, Lin Nannan relied on instinct to avoid danger, weaving and dodging until she reached the innermost room. Holding her breath, she noticed the heavy security—guards not just at the door but posted throughout. She knew that the slightest noise would provoke an immediate attack.
Her eyes lit up with understanding—she might have stumbled onto the Zheng family’s dirty secret.
Just as she pondered how to uncover the truth, gunfire and yelling broke out outside. Lin Nannan’s spirits lifted—backup had arrived.
This had been a double trap, designed to lure Liu Jinzhi in. Though Lu Hang had chased after someone, a backup team had been following closely. They relayed the intel, and soon, Lu Hang and Lin Kangnian arrived with their forces, zeroing in on the spot.
With more people came greater commotion. All hell broke loose outside, shattering the silence.
Those outside desperately sought Lin Nannan, while those inside, fearing exposure and certain death, opened fire with everything they had. The violent clash terrified Liu Jinzhi, who covered her mouth, tears streaming as she trembled uncontrollably, slumping into a corner.
She was certain Zheng Jie would never forgive her.
While Liu Jinzhi was paralyzed with fear, Lin Nannan pounced on the chance. The gunfire outside drew away many guards, and though the remaining ones stayed vigilant, Lin Nannan spotted an open window. Slipping past unnoticed, she climbed inside.
What she saw blew her away—she had accidentally discovered the Zheng family’s firearms workshop in Nanshi. No, not just a stockpile, but an actual manufacturing site.
For Lin Nannan, this was like a kid in a candy store. She itched to get her hands on the equipment and start modifying.
Inside, workers remained undisturbed by the chaos outside, methodically packing finished guns into crates, sealing them, and stacking them neatly—clearly preparing for shipment.
Hiding in a corner, Lin Nannan observed unnoticed amid the workshop’s noise.
Just as she plotted her next move, the main door burst open. Someone rushed in, shouting, "Something’s wrong outside—they’re not just searching, they’re here to cause trouble! Pack the essentials, take the critical shipment, and evacuate through the back!"
The order sent everyone into a frenzy. Despite the urgency, their retreat was orderly, swiftly clearing out everything valuable.
Those left behind weren’t eliminated—perhaps in hopes of salvaging the site, or simply due to lack of time—leaving plenty of useful materials behind.
Lin Nannan didn’t recklessly pursue. Instead, she got to work, undisturbed. By the time Lu Hang and the others found her, she had whipped up a bunch of gadgets, including the bombs she had once promised Lu Hang.
