Luo Feng carefully weighed the briefcase in his hand. Through this, he was able to tell that while the exterior of the case was quite heavy, the cocaine inside would likely weigh no more than a kilogram.
Naturally, this substance was extracted from a type of herb called the “coca leaf”. Based on its purity, it could go for around 600 to 900 yuan per gram.
As such, through the system’s 800 thousand valuation of the case, Luo Feng had determined that the cocaine stored within it was of high quality.
Although the cost of the seeds was not high, the extraction process could be quite expensive, with roughly 90% profit margins. Luo Feng shook his head vigorously, wondering why he was even contemplating the profit from this substance. He had made a fortune from treasure hunting, and only a fool would consider getting involved in this kind of business.
Luo Feng quickly left the basement. Things would be different if he were alone, but having children around complicated matters. The owner of the property had yet to make a return, and thus, Luo Feng hurriedly headed towards the wealthy second-generation heirs’ cars.
After all, it was not beyond the realm of possibility for the property’s owner to be a gun-totting maniac.
“Uncle, are we not going to dig anymore?” one of the children asked.
“Are you kidding? We need to take this stuff to the police station!” Zhang Shunyong was exasperated by the children’s naivete. Did they not realize what they had found?
“Why do we need to go there?” the children inquired nervously.
Luo Feng shot Zhang Shunyong a disapproving glare, as he had nearly frightened the children to tears. “Don’t worry, we’re not taking you two to the police station. We just need to deliver the goods.”
The viewers of the livestream chimed in, expressing their concern for Luo Feng and the children. They urged them to be careful, as they could easily be discovered.
As Luo Feng drove, he had Li Shishi make a phone call and held it to his ear. “Hello, I’d like to report a crime.”
“Ah, I recognize your voice… You’re Old Luo, right?”
“Yes, it’s me. I am the treasure-hunting livestreamer!”
Luo Feng was quite famous around Mount Dalong. Many people recognized his voice, so it was not surprising that the police officer did as well.
“Mr. Luo, what happened? Why are you reporting a crime?” The police officer had not watched the livestream today and was unaware of the situation.
“We’re at the northeastern foot of Mount Dalong, in Dalong Town. We’ve discovered a large plot of artificially cultivated coca plants— covering about three to five acres of land. The location appears to be an abandoned nitrogen fertilizer factory.”
‘Good heavens! Acres of coca plants? Are you serious?” The police officer was immediately alarmed and took the situation very seriously.
“Of course, I have the recording from my livestream as evidence,” Luo Feng explained. “Moreover, the children found a briefcase. We haven’t opened it, but
I suspect it contains the extracted substance.”
The officer coughed. “Alright, we’re on our way.”
“No need, we’re already en-route to the station,” Luo Feng replied, hanging up the phone.
When they arrived at the police station, dozens of officers were waiting outside. After all, the discovery of such a large plot of coca plants was a big deal.
As they walked, Captain Li Jiahao inquired about the specifics of the case from
Luo Feng. By the time they reached the main hall, the details were mostly clear.
Luo Feng placed the briefcase on the marble counter. Without hesitation, he sliced it open with his Jungle Blade. The sharp blade effortlessly cut through the case, revealing numerous bags of white powder that spilled out onto the table.
The sight caused many police officers to widen their eyes in surprise. The small-town officers had never seen anything quite like this before. Even Captain Li’s heart raced, as he swallowed hard and tried to maintain his composure. “Mr. Luo, please wait a moment. Now that we have confirmed the situation, I need to inform the authorities in the county town.”
Captain Li picked up his phone and made a call. “Hello, Director Huang? It’s me, Captain Li from Dalong Town. We’ve discovered a large plot of coca plants here that covers around three to five acres of land. Moreover, we found a briefcase that seems to contain highly purified cocaine. I am not sure about its exact purity, though.”
At that moment, many officers crowded around the opened briefcase, examining its contents with curiosity. They had never encountered such a substance in their years of service. Nowadays, public security had improved significantly, and it was rare to find these kinds of drugs, except perhaps in border areas.
“Wow, Old Luo has made another great contribution!”
“Amazing! This stuff must be cocaine!”
The viewers of Luo Feng’s livestream were equally amazed by the discovery, praising Luo and the children for their find. Some even joked about how Old Luo had intended to take the children treasure hunting but ended up uncovering this illicit substance instead.
Luo Feng chuckled to himself.
Who are you looking down on?
Were you really doubting my treasure-hunting abilities?
Soon after, a middle-aged man, who looked to be around 45 years old, entered the room..
