Chapter 19: The Secret entry into the Villa of Noseguchi

"The Inumeni police have already surrounded Seguchi's house. Let's start our operation too." On a large tree outside Seguchi's villa, Lei communicated with Li Yalin and others via radio, informing them of the movements of Junfu and his team.

As Lei's abilities were still weak, it was impossible for her to sneak in and steal the painting. However, she could handle tasks like reconnaissance quite well. Therefore, the task of monitoring Junfu was assigned to her.

"We can move now." On the east side of the villa, Li Yalin nodded to the three girls beside him and threw a grappling hook onto the wall, testing the strength of the rope. Li Yalin was the first to climb the wall using the rope.

Bending down on the wall, Li Yalin put on his night vision goggles and looked around the courtyard, seeing no one. After making a gesture towards the outside, Li Yalin jumped down from the wall without making a sound. Every move in this series of actions was silent from start to finish. After all, after a period of training, Li Yalin's silent movement had upgraded to level 2, making his actions extremely smooth.

Speaking of which, the way to upgrade silent movement was very simple—just walk. Therefore, Li Yalin practiced his skills every day, which was why he upgraded so quickly.

After the three sisters entered the courtyard, the four of them came to a side door of the villa. This villa had a total of one main entrance and three side doors, and the one they were at now was the least guarded.

Under the dim light, there were only two guards patrolling here. Li Yalin couldn't help but wonder what these guys were doing so coolly in the middle of the night. The light was so dim, yet they were still wearing sunglasses. Wasn't this just asking for trouble?

Silently nodding to Xiao Lei, Li Yalin made a gesture to advance. Xiao Lei immediately understood and smiled, pointing at one of the guards and then at Li Yalin, indicating that this guy was for Li Yalin to handle.

Li Yalin understood Xiao Lei's meaning and quietly approached the guard from behind. He saw that the guard was bowing his head, preparing to light a cigarette. However, after several attempts to ignite the lighter, no flame appeared. The guard cursed and grumbled a few words, then turned around to borrow a light from his companion.

At that moment, Li Yalin suddenly struck, delivering a chop to the guard's neck from behind! At the same time, Xiao Lei also made her move on the other guard, hitting him on the head with her elbow, silently taking down both guards.

"This should be it." Before coming, everyone had thoroughly investigated the layout of the villa. Although there weren't many guards in the villa, Li Yalin and the others still had to be careful. Three minutes later, Li Yalin and his team arrived at Seguchi's villa's collection room.

"It seems that Seguchi doesn't take us seriously at all." Xiao Lei's mouth curved into a cold smile. But this was also good. It seemed that the operation would end soon, and with Junfu's help, Seguchi would also run into some trouble.

"A secret room?" Upon entering the collection room, there didn't seem to be any special artworks on the surface. There were only a few modern artworks on the wall, but everyone knew very well that this was just for show.

"It should be in this room. Let's search carefully." Xiaotong furrowed her eyebrows. Time was running out, and they had to make every second count.

"Found it!" In fact, at first glance upon entering the room, Li Yalin had already sensed something was off. Because on the snowy white walls, there was only a single bookshelf standing in the middle, which was too conspicuous! Moreover, besides a few books, there was even a cubic Native American sculpture inside. Was this considered artwork? The workmanship was rough."This should be it."

Moreover, besides a few books, there was even a cubic Native American sculpture inside. Was this considered artwork? The workmanship was rough.

During this time, under the influence of Xiao Lei and Xiaotong, Li Yalin's appreciation for art had greatly improved. Although he couldn't be considered a connoisseur, he could still tell at a glance whether a piece of art was valuable.

After opening the bookshelf and slightly rotating the sculpture, the bookshelf split open from the middle with a swish, revealing the secret room hidden behind it.

"These are the ones. Apart from 'La Dame aux Camélias', there are six other precious paintings left." In the secret room, the target of everyone's mission was hung in the center of the wall.

"What should we do? Should we take 'La Dame aux Camélias' today, or should we let Seguchi register a case at the police station?" Looking at Xiao Lei and then at Xiaotong, the decision now rested in the hands of these two girls.

"There are many police outside. It's better not to take the painting with us today. Although we may not be able to bring down Seguchi, we should at least try to give him some trouble." After pondering for a moment, Xiao Lei finally raised her head and spoke.

"Okay, then it's time for Xiaotong to make her move." Li Yalin shared the same idea as Xiao Lei. Today, they could indeed obtain 'La Dame aux Camélias' and six other famous paintings, but Seguchi would still escape punishment. However, if Junfu, this impulsive young man, were to appear, he wouldn't care about anything. No matter how important you are, as long as you break the law, he won't let you off.

"Hehe, leave it to me." Xiaotong was finally about to make her move. But before she could take a step forward, a large hand suddenly reached out from the dark corner, firmly grasping Xiaotong's arm.

What the heck, it turned out to be a giant man over 1.9 meters tall! Judging from his weight, he must weigh over 500 pounds. Isn't it a waste of talent for him not to participate in sumo wrestling? Oh no, he should participate in a gorilla eating bananas contest. Just by looking at his appearance, he's definitely a giant gorilla, and judging from his belly, he must be a big eater.

Damn it, why are you criticizing at a time like this! Li Yalin shook his head, then kicked the gorilla-like man from the darkness. What? He didn't even flinch? Did Li Yalin just kick a pile of dough? This guy's belly must be made of dough!

Seeing Li Yalin and Xiao'ai fail one after another, Lei, who was on the side, quickly picked up a wine bottle and smashed it hard on the man's head. But this still had no effect. What's going on? Is he even human? For a moment, Lei was also stunned on the spot.

"Big sister!" Xiaotong rushed towards the giant man, but by this time, the giant man had already let go of Li Yalin and Xiao'ai, turning around and sweeping his hand, sending Xiaotong flying. With tremendous force, Xiaotong crashed into the wall, looking like she was hurt badly.

"You bastard! You dare to hurt Xiaotong! I'll kill you!" Just then, Li Yalin suddenly stood up, a murderous intent flashing in his eyes. This guy had finally touched Li Yalin's reverse scale!
