Indeed, there were many valuable items inside the vault, not only the 3200 gold bars weighing half a kilogram each mentioned in the dark web video, and 40 underground bank black cards each valued at a hundred million, but also a large number of freezers—all of which were filled with high-tier cybernetic enhancements without any brand names.
Lin Rui did a quick count; there were approximately 1400 pieces of cybernetic enhancements, with a variety of models, all of which were S grade or higher.
Among them, SS and SS+ grades alone totaled over 50 pieces.
Lin Rui was immensely shocked, “This Jin San is amazing.
There are rumors that he controls a cybernetic workshop with huge production; it must be true.”
According to the regulations of the Earth Federation, all cybernetic enhancements of S grade or higher require the identities of both the implantee and the buyer to be verified.
No institutions or medical practitioners are allowed to sell or implant enhancements for individuals with criminal records, or else they risk having their professional licenses revoked.
...
This is to prevent these military-grade enhancements from falling into the hands of criminals, pirates, or rebels.
Moreover, a person purchasing the same model of high-end S grade cybernetics three times is subject to a 30% luxury tax.
This gave rise to a black market for smuggling cybernetics.
Some gangs even set up their own enhancement workshops to produce cybernetics.
The Earth Federation’s government, in an effort to encourage the development of martial enhancements, shared a large amount of cybernetic production technology and processes with private enterprises.
This allowed major gangs like the Zhongyi Gang to acquire high-end enhancement production technologies.

Fei Yunlai struggled to suppress the corners of his lips, maintaining his expert demeanor.
He knew that the underworld was currently on high alert.
Ever since the Nursery Rhyme Killer became famous, several dark web channels were monitoring them, which meant that these illegal enhancements would be difficult to sell and were unlikely to fetch much money.
The problem was that these items could be used on his War Dragon and Guardian Demon!
Although these enhancements were unbranded, Fei Yunlai wasn’t picky.
He knew that the illicit enhancements sold by Jin San had a good reputation and had been established for decades, so they were likely to be problem-free.
Besides, he now had a reliable cybernetic surgeon to assist him.
His boss was not only a student of Professor Sima, but also a disciple of Academician Huangfu.
Therefore, this was even more delightful to him than the income he would receive afterward.
Fei Yunlai estimated that from this operation they could net 8 billion Federation coins in cash and the black market value of various second-hand parts would amount to just over 9 billion at most.
Indeed, those parts could be assembled into dozens of type 7 and type 6 combat robots, but the truly valuable aspect was the craftsmanship of the mechanics.
Fei Yunlai could only take a 1% cut, which at best would come to just over a billion Federation coins.
However, among these illegal enhancements, he had already set his sights on four pieces that could be used on his ‘Tengu’ and War Dragon, saving him at least fifteen billion Federation coins in expenses.
Lin Rui was also very pleased; although these illegal enhancements couldn’t be sold, they could be used to cultivate his own private power, such as the Guang Ming Holy Church branch he currently controlled.
They don’t need to breathe at their level, so they have a criminal genius on their hands.
The person who planned this is a damn genius.”
Hayden Smith deeply agreed.
The criminal genius’s plan was almost perfect; not only had he managed to deceive the most powerful and fastest-responding Special Service Center of the Security Bureau in advance, but he had also set up accidents like car crashes, collapses, and gas pipeline bursts in all the surrounding ducts, causing their armored explosion-proof cars to get completely stuck on the roads.
Those armored explosion-proof vehicles were still stuck there; the two of them had been forced to leave their subordinates behind and rush here first.

“They also have many powerful combat robots.
From the bullet marks here, at least 40 military combat robots above Type 6 have participated in the battle.
This is a team, a powerful and increasingly sophisticated team,” You Ming said.
Just as Hayden Smith was about to say something more, he received a video call request—or rather, an order.
It was because this phone number came from the office of the Homeland Security Committee.
Deputy Minister Smith went pale.
He looked up and exchanged a glance with You Ming, “Have you figured out how you’re going to answer the committee’s inquiry?”
Deputy Minister Smith couldn’t help but worry.
Even though the Special Service Center was You Ming’s turf, Smith had also been involved in the matter of Luo Tao secretly transferring goods from the evidence room and collaborating with the gang, and he had forcefully assisted in the matter, unable to extricate himself from the connection.
You Ming also received the video communication request from the Homeland Security Committee, and he felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.
He sighed slightly and glanced at Luo Tao, who was unconscious beside him.
They now needed someone to take responsibility.
Since Luo Tao had failed to apprehend the Nursery Rhyme Killer and had allowed such a devastating loss for the Security Bureau, not to mention the loss of a vast amount of evidence, this blame would have to fall on him.
You Ming felt a deep pain, guilt, and helplessness.
He was actually in no position to save himself, let alone preserve his trusted general.
Hayden Smith already understood You Ming’s intentions but shook his head slightly, “Simply shifting the blame won’t get us through the safety committee and the First Marshal.
We must solve the real problems and give them an account, as well as that minister.
His influence is rising again, and many of our friends are very uneasy.
Even if you can’t bring him down, you must find a way to suppress him.”
“I understand.
I won’t interfere with Zhou Yunfei’s matters anymore, you guys handle it yourselves,” You Ming said, his hands behind his back as he walked to the remains of Jin San, looking down at the pile of flesh with a cold gaze: “As for the Nursery Rhyme Killer, I’ll take personal responsibility!”
He had no more hopes for his career.
After the incident with the Nursery Rhyme Killer, the generals and the Homeland Security Committee would in no way consider allowing him to take over as the head of Security Bureau Division 9.
So he could no longer care about the life or death of Zhou Yunfei.
