Chapter 1: Spy Stealing Techniques

  Lei Meng shook his head, took a deep breath and rushed into the city. After a while, four masked men in black appeared quietly on the spot, searched around silently and nodded to each other before disappearing again.

  In the council chamber of the city, Yang Tian, Yang Er and Huang Chu sat together. Yang Tian sighed and said, "Grandfather, I've let you down, this marriage won't come off."

  "It's nothing, this time it didn't work out, then next time!" Yang Fu patted his chest and encouraged: "Don't worry, kid, in two days Grandpa will go out again to find out, bring Mr. Huang along, ask clearly about the situation and then bring him over for you to meet."

  Huang Chu patted Yang Fu's shoulder and said with a smile: "Old Yang, this matter of marriage can't be rushed, especially when they need to be satisfied with each other. We can only play matchmaker at most."

  Outside the door, a burst of applause echoed "Bravo!" Then, an old man with white hair and black clothes strode in.

  "Old man Luo!" Yang Tian's eyes were sharp, and he recognized Luo Ming at a glance. He jumped up excitedly and rushed over to greet him. When he saw the bloodstain on the corner of Luo Ming's mouth, he was shocked and exclaimed: "Old man Luo, who hurt you! I must pay my respects to such a hero!"

  "Hmph! What hero, what's good to see!" Luo Ming swept away Yang Tianfu's hand and sat down nearby, picking up the teapot on the table and drinking directly from its spout.

  Yang Tian chuckled and stepped forward, saying: "Look at you, although you're injured, yet still so calm and composed... Let me guess!" He rolled his eyes twice, then said, "Wei Ming, the Wei Ming from Baihe? Ah! Doesn't that mean Tianwei Sect is no match for Shenwu Sect in terms of martial arts?"

  "Get out!" Luo Ming raised his hand and smashed the teapot away, angrily saying. "How could that little Wei Ming hurt me?"

  Yang Tianyun's quick movement, stretched out his hand and gently put down the teapot, smiling and asked: "Who is this sacred person?"

  "What the hell, it was just a moment of carelessness that got me hurt by Leiming!" Luo Ming cursed loudly, but immediately stopped, he was actually scolded by Yang Tian, and even mentioned the one who hurt him, Leiming, how embarrassing!

  "Lei Meng?" Yang Tian was shocked, his eyes wide with surprise. When did he become so powerful that he could hurt Luo Ming? Wasn't their strength difference not much different from mine? Yang Tian couldn't figure it out in his mind, and then asked again: "What's going on? Lei Meng doesn't seem like the kind of person who would risk his life to fight with you!"

  "Hmph!" Luo Ming grunted, "Practice your martial arts well. Otherwise, you'll die without even knowing what happened!"

  "What's going on? Is it that serious?" Yang stepped forward, overtaking Luo Ming. He didn't care whether the person in front of him was familiar with him or not.

  "Could it have something to do with those four women?" Mr. Huang asked, stroking his beard as he sat upright.

  Luo Ming gave Huang Chu a nod of approval and said, "Indeed, it's related to those four people. From what I know, the four of them are not ordinary people, and I'm afraid Yang Tian, that stinky brat, won't be able to handle them."

  Yang Tian shrugged, with an air of indifference. "Where in the world is there no fragrant grass? Why must you look for it in this city! Do you think I would give up a whole forest for four pots of flowers?"

  "Great! Well said!" Luo Ming burst out laughing and clapped his hands, saying "This phrase has really awakened all the men in the world! Haha!"

  Huang Chu nodded in agreement with Yang Tian's astonishing words, but his heart was still concerned about the safety of the Mingtian region, so he asked again: "I don't know what background those four people have? Is there a way to deal with them?"

  Luoming learned from Yang Tian's manner, slightly shrugged his shoulders, spread out his hands and said: "I don't know what their background is, but I do know that they all have masters like me guarding them. I think, as long as we don't provoke them, everything will be fine; otherwise, the outcome won't be good."

  As soon as this was said, the whole room fell silent.

  "Isn't this marriage leaving behind a root of trouble?" Yang Tian furrowed his brow and asked weakly.

  "Find an excuse and get out of here!"

  Yang Fu and Huang Chu looked at each other in dismay. Just now, he said not to offend him casually, but now the good marriage was easily cancelled, wasn't that offending him?

  Yang Tian was very humble this time, and he asked sincerely: "I don't know what kind of excuse to make, Senior Luo?"

  Everyone inquired again, and Luo Ming, who was also brainstorming, found the problem. He furrowed his brow and looked back and forth at the three people with piercing eyes, smiling awkwardly: "This is Yang Tian's business, he should think of a solution... Ah, I remembered, I have something to discuss with Luo Jie Cheng. I'll go find him now!" After finishing speaking, he ignored the three people's sharp, murderous gazes and suddenly turned around and left.

  "How is it?" Huang Chu cast his gaze towards Yang Tian.

  Yang sighed and said, "I don't have any good excuses either. Why don't we just say that our eight characters are not compatible, Mr. Huang?"

  "What eight characters?" Huang Chu's face was shocked, looking at Yang Fu, and found that he also had a bewildered expression.

  Yang Tian scratched his head and said, "It's just the time of birth and the year."

  "Is this related?" Huang Chu still didn't understand.

  "Isn't this just an excuse? You're making excuses for him whether it's related or not." Yang Tian got angry and found an excuse, while Huang Chu kept asking questions.

  Huang Chu saw that there was no point in asking, and he also knew that Yang Tian was just making it up as he went along. He forced a smile and said, "Then let's do it according to Yang Tian's method."

  The next morning, Yang Fu came up with a lame excuse, saying that the eight characters were not compatible and it was unfortunate that Yang Tian could not be married to the four girls. The four girls humbly accepted the document handed over by Yang Fu and sent him off calmly. However, they all made one request, which was to take them to visit the petrochemical plant area.

  Yang Fu had misgivings in his heart and did not dare to shirk, so he agreed to take it on.

  At noon, Lei Meng and Yang Tian, Huang Chu waited in the conference hall for Yang Fu, who was covered in cold sweat. Yang Tian quickly stepped forward to support him, asking: "Grandfather, are you retiring?"

  Yang Fu looked at Lei Meng and Huang Chu for a moment, nodded and said: "Withdraw."

  Yang Tianxi furrowed his brow, pulled Yang Fu down to sit, poured a cup of tea and handed it over: "Grandfather is thirsty, drink some water quickly."

  Yang Fu drank with relish, and Zhang opened his mouth to speak but stopped. Originally delighted, Lei Ming saw this scene and secretly cursed his bad luck. He furrowed his brow and asked: "Grandfather, didn't they make some request?"

  Yang Fu nodded and said indifferently: "They didn't mention anything, just saying they wanted to go take a look at the petrified factory area."

  "What!" Lei Meng was shocked. He stood up suddenly, then sat down slowly and said, "Let them take a look, anyway ordinary people can't see anything."

  Yang Fu was startled by the thunder, but eventually agreed, and his hanging heart fell again.

  Actually, he had no idea that Leiming's heart was bleeding. Because he knew that many people who understood the process of making and treating things would understand the principle of production after seeing it, and then learned from it. He currently doesn't want others to know the production methods of many devices.

  Yang Tian saw everything with his own eyes. He felt a little guilty in his heart, if he hadn't chosen the four people so lightly at the beginning, there wouldn't be so many problems now.

  That night, Lei Meng and Yang Tian deployed all the soldiers in Hexi City to important positions such as the Stone Factory District. Light and heavy machine guns were paired together. Snipers lay in ambush...

  On the third day at dawn. Taking advantage of the clear fog blocking the sun, Yang Tian drove a cross-country vehicle to pick up the four women and rushed towards the petrified area.

  Sitting in a comfortable and fast car. Blowing with refreshing morning wind, watching the scenery quickly flying by on both sides, the four girls couldn't help but let out delightful screams, laughing and having a great time...

  "With a 'ding' sound, Yang Tian stopped the off-road vehicle at the road junction outside the petrified zone. There was a checkpoint there. Twenty soldiers with live ammunition and light machine guns were standing guard. One of them saluted Yang Tian before retreating to continue his vigil."

  Yang Tian invited the four beauties, who were as lovely as flowers, to get off the cross-country vehicle under the sunny morning and said calmly: "Four beauties, please follow me on foot to visit inside."

  Four women threw flirtatious glances, dazzling Yang Tian so he didn't dare to look straight at them. However, because of the tour schedule they had discussed and agreed upon yesterday, he didn't make any other requests.

  Looking at the straight black asphalt road with rows of factories standing on both sides, seemingly endless, the four women's bodies trembled for a moment, but they still followed Yang Tian's footsteps steadily.

  Yang Tian took them on a tour, occasionally entering the factory to take a look at the production process at the request of the four women, and occasionally giving them a brief explanation...

  After walking and stopping for a whole day, Yang Tian finally breathed heavily, taking four pale-faced girls out of the checkpoint. He started the off-road vehicle, carrying the four women, and drove away into the sunset.

  Lei Meng turned out from a corner of the factory, gazed at the off-road vehicle that had gone far away, and sighed to himself: "A beauty is a calamity, after all, I was taken in by quite a bit." Afterwards, he hid himself inside the factory again. He needed to gather up some paper documents, lest someone else come to steal them.

  It was midnight, and the lights were still on in the petrified zone. Lei Meng was still sorting out documents in one of the factories.

  Suddenly, a black shadow flashed before his eyes. Lei Meng was slightly startled, then suddenly opened his eyes and said: "No! Someone is here!" He could clearly see that the guarding soldiers wouldn't move so quickly, it must be an expert who had sneaked in.

  He casually put down the documents, gently pulled out a large-caliber handgun from under the office desk, tucked it into his waist, and touched it.

  After the thunder, he swept to the right of the black shadow floating over and did not find any suspicious movement under the lamp. It seems that it is not in sight. He also lightly touched a factory and still did not find anything abnormal.

  He slightly furrowed his brow, thinking to himself: No way, the guards here are extremely strict, normally anyone who comes in would definitely be discovered. … Ah, could it be that those four girls actually came in once and memorized the entire defense map?!

  Suddenly, a black shadow was seen moving about 50 meters ahead at the high carbon factory. Lei Meng hurriedly chased after it. As he ran, he saw that the black shadow had run into the factory.

  A loud rumble echoed through his throat, his lips moved slightly, and the sound was transmitted to the soldiers within a hundred meters: There is an assassin in the charcoal factory, be on guard!

  The soldiers heard the sound and trembled, immediately loading their guns and quietly moving into position for the best attack.

  With a loud thunderous voice, he arrived at the gate of Gao Tan's factory and shouted: "Where is that little thief? Get out here!"

  There was a sudden crash in the office inside the factory, as if a teapot had fallen to the ground. Then a black shadow darted out from the dark corner of the wall and rushed towards Lei Meng.

  A loud clap of thunder shook the air as a gunshot rang out, and the black figure twisted its body before continuing to viciously swing its hand at Lei Meng.

  So fierce! The thunderous sound made his scalp numb as he rolled to the left, his right ribs feeling chilly. He dodged the black shadow's deadly blow. As he leapt, his wrist lightly pressed down, aiming at the figure landing on the ground outside the factory, and fired another shot with a "bang".

  Only a black shadow was seen, and with a low hum, it rushed out quickly.

  As soon as the black shadow scattered black dots, it was about to disappear when gunshots rang out from all directions. The thunder also frantically pulled the trigger and fired wildly at the black shadow, stirring up a cloud of dust on the ground...

  Gunfire continued, believing that even wearing armor would be killed by random gunfire on the ground, let alone a person.

  "Stop! No need to shoot anymore!"

  The gunfire stopped as soon as he spoke, and the thunder rumbled through his entire body. He took slow steps forward, believing that with just a slight breeze, he could quickly run away.

  He stepped forward two steps on the black blood on the ground, and the smoke dissipated. On the ground, there was only a basin-sized black blood stain and some torn fabric. Where was anyone!

  Not dead! Lei Meng cautiously scanned left and right, but didn't see any movement. It seemed that the person had run away.

  Lei Meng let out a sigh of relief, fortunately, such a fierce person was chased away, if not for being subdued at once, I'm afraid he could have killed all my soldiers! Afterwards, he called over ten soldiers and together they followed the bloodstains for a while, but found that after turning two factories, there were no more.
