Chapter 39: Make Way! Professionals coming through
Translated by me, edited by drpetro.
Gong Wei was secretly laughing inside, Liu Tianyang’s expression had him feel a lot better.
A case of Cohiba’s 40 year anniversary cigars cost over 100,000 yuan. Arturo Fuente also cost around the same. As for the aged wine, that’s even more expensive.
It’s impossible to find them on the public market as they’re only sold in auctions.
These things, in a bottomless pit like the Silver palace, will at least double in price. And that’s when there are discounts.
Having experienced such a problem in the Silver Palace, even involving Ye Qing, had Gong Wei feel really apologetic.
Now that the two suspects were stuck inside the storeroom, the police couldn’t do anything to them for now, and the suspects also couldn’t leave, so they simply went on a unrestrained destruction spree inside.
Liu Tianyang was immediately screwed. The police were also screwed.
Now that everyone’s screwed, Gong Wei felt a lot better.
Ye Qing, with his hands behind his neck was secretly laughing on the side. Zhan Zhitong and several other police members came to disturb my enjoyment. If this occurred to anyone, then who would be pleased?
“Dispatch, dispatch, help me contact a locksmith company, I need the biggest one.” Zhang Zhitong glanced at the laughing Ye Qing. Those glances were just like having caught her husband cheating on her in bed.
Ye Qing stared back at her, not caring at all.
Under the help of several underlings, Liu Tianyang finally woke up and stood up again.
“I don’t care anymore, I don’t care what methods you use, but you must immediately get those two fkers out of my storeroom!” Liu Tianyang was now consumed with rage, to the point where he even wanted to swallow the police whole.
“Mr. Liu calm down, locksmiths are already on the way, they probably have a way to open this.” Zhang Zhitong carefully examined the vault door in front of her, grabbed a mic, and looked for ways to convince the two suspects to give up.
Not long after, two locksmiths wearing red vests and carrying a super large toolbox were led over by the receptionists.
The two locksmiths had probably never been in a place that is this lavish, since they glanced everywhere. Silver Palace’s lavish decorations had them stunned to no end.
When they reached the end of the hallway and saw the giant platinum like door, they immediately snapped back to reality.
“The fk. A blast door?” The locksmiths placed down their toolbox, examined the keyhole and the engraving plate, then looked at the surrounding police.
“This is America’s Hamilton Safe’s Class 5 – B vault door, specifically designed for gold and jewelry vaults. Due to considering the likelihood of robbers heisting a jewel company, it was designed to have two ways to open the vault. There’s a hand turned mechnical lock inside with no need for keys or passcodes. This way people could hide inside the vault without fear of the robbers.”
“This door also has anti-cutting properties. On the very inside is a layer of super reinforced glass. The four corners of this piece of glass are connected to the heavy lock mechanism. No matter if it’s drills or flame cutters, there is no way for them to not break this layer of glass.”
“As soon as the glass breaks, the heavy lock will completely lock the door. When that happens, there is no way to open the door from either sides.”
A door that is so high tech, that when the police heard the whole explanation they immediately turned to Liu Tianyang to complain: “You’re not even keeping gold here, so why the hell did you get such a door?”
Liu Tianyang’s expression was full of disdain, and refused to answer this question.
“You could consider breaking through from the side. These kind of blast doors are made with special steel, so even flame cutters will have a hard time cutting through them.”
“These are load bearing walls. The storeroom is also specially designed to be at least a meter thick, and is filled with anti-seismic rebars.” Liu Tianyang smiled coldly: “Let’s not talk about whether you can cut through, if you do break these load bearing walls, then should I move the Silver Palace into your office building?”
Very quickly, someone brought over another laptop. When Liu Tianyang linked it to the security system, they found the two suspects with a bottle of Hennessy in each hand rinsing their mouths, drinking some then spilling some.
Liu Tianyang spent much effort to withhold the urge to smash the laptop into smithereens.
This storeroom was roughly 70 square meters in size, with a computer controlled heating system to preserve the cigars and liquor. Apart from the main door, there wasn’t a single window.
One of the police officers found a mic and yelled towards the blast door: “Listen up you two, if you open up the door, come out and surrender. We can go light on your sentencing, if you continue to destroy the inventory inside, then that’ll only make your sentencing worse.”
“Come on in if you got the guts, don’t stand there crying like babies.” From the other side of the blast door came a weak yet arrogant response: “Just wait until I’ve wasted all the liquor and smokes here, then I’ll naturally come out.”
“B****h! Fking B****h!” Zhang Zhitong was seriously pissed off now, taking over the microphone and yelled: “When you come out have fun in prison for life!”
“Does it look like I give a fk? Come on in if you can. Doll.” The two suspects replied back annoyingly.
There was no hope for the police to do anything now, so Liu Tianyang flipped through his contact list for a long time, before finding a Silver Palace member who could help.
The member is one of the owners for Hongxin Shipbuilding Co., Ltd.. They have business everywhere. They’ve even built more than one seagoing cargo ship. There’s definitely no problem asking them for help.
As Liu Tianyang tried to contact his client who was an expert in metal cutting, the police was stuck with nothing to do, so they went and questioned the bound man right on the spot.
Coupling the security footage from the laptop and his testimony, the police very quickly cleared Ye Qing and co of all charges.
Everything was purely coincidental. This group of suspects came in yesterday looking to discuss tonight, with the owner of a chemical factory, the exchange of large quantities of easy to manufacture chemical drugs.
The suspects were very vigilant, as they stared straight at Ye Qing and co. Ye Qing and co, as to not to be outdone by them, stared back at them. Along with the fact that Gong Wei just so happened to be the owner of a chemical factory, this lead the police to mistake them to be working together.
The several team members who went up to capture Gong Wei and co all came over to apologise, except Gong Wei was looking up and completely ignored them.
“So…… Sorry.” Zhang Zhitong stands in front of Ye Qing completely embarrassed. Her hands were entangle together and her eyes were looking at her feet, as if there’s millions on the ground.
“Forget it, forget it. I’ll be generous and forgive you again.” Ye Qing replied as he waved his hand.
Having cleared the situation, Ye Qing and co could leave. Except just at that time, a team of workers, carrying oxygen tanks, acetylene tanks, and large cutting equipment walked in.
This is the result of Liu Tianyang using a series of blood specials, free room, free events, free liquor, ……
Basically lots of free stuff, to convince the boss of Hongxin Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. to send over a team of professionals.
If there was a ranking of which cutting team was the strongest in Zhongyun, then there was no doubt that it’s going to be the people from Hongxin Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., who are in contact with all kinds of metals and ships everyday.
A large vessel, from design, to putting down the keels, to welding on the entire outer hall, the amount of steel required is astronomical. And these steel plates also need to be cut into different shapes and sizes, just use the steel used in China’s domestic F – 40 boat for example.
This is a super strong kind of metal alloy. Its melting temperature and its pulling resistance is just incredible. Even under -60°C, it’ll still retain its toughness. Even if it’s used to construct an ice breaker, it’ll still be able to operate in Antarctica in the middle of winter.
High toughness also implies high difficulty to cut. Sometimes when constructing large vessels, the outer hull can be as thick as 60 centimeters.
One can imagine how strong Hongxin’s metal cutting abilities are.
