Chapter 1336 — A Great Opportunity — Of Course, Wei Zhao Had Left One Thing Unsaid: That Apart From Poisoning and Assassination... Yet Whoever Had Attacked Mr. Qiu Had Used Wholly Bloody, Brutal Means, Killing Him Outright Rather Than by Poison or Ambush!

Who knew which tomb robber possessed such influence, to actually be able to summon an Earth Rank expert into action.
"We can only play it by ear..." Qiu Lingshan sighed. "Today Old Hei killed a man, and I could not stop him in time either. It truly caught me off guard..."
Naturally Qiu Lingshan did not wish a criminal suspect to die in the midst of their internal strife. If the man died, the embezzled funds and stolen goods he had obtained would be very difficult to recover.
"One dead is one fewer. Only with more deaths can I be certain which side that Earth Rank expert is on," Wei Zhao said, wholly unconcerned.
Qiu Lingshan and Chen Yuxuan were somewhat silenced. After pondering a while, they went off to rearrange their plan of action, while Wei Zhao dialed the number of the Gu family villa.
After a moment, Er Goudan's voice came over the line: "Hello? How do you do?"
"Er Goudan, it's me. How goes it — all well at home?" Wei Zhao had not expected that after staying with them this while, Er Goudan would have grown so refined in his speech; he even knew to say "how do you do" when he answered the phone.
"Boss, it's you!" At the sound of Wei Zhao's voice, Er Goudan grew excited at once. "Everything's fine at home. This morning I escorted the three sisters-in-law to school, and tonight I'll go fetch them as well! Rest easy, boss — I won't let anyone touch a single hair on their heads. Whoever dares, I'll put him down with one punch!"
"Good." Wei Zhao smiled. "By the way, how is Mighty General? In a little while, go out to the police station and hand Mighty General over to an officer in the criminal investigation unit named Liu Wangli. I'll speak to him myself."
"Mighty General? Sure!" Er Goudan nodded after hearing it. "All right, I'll take him over in a bit."
What had happened in the ancient tomb today suddenly reminded Wei Zhao of Mighty General. If Mighty General were here, he would have less trouble and more certainty — a dog's sense of smell is keen, after all, and this was also a card Wei Zhao had kept in reserve. If he never had to cross swords with that Earth Rank expert, so much the better; but if they did meet, he would play a little energy bomb on the fellow and blow him to death, and with Mighty General as his golden finger, he could swiftly repair the damaged meridians in his body and restore his strength anew!
Wei Zhao feared that if Mighty General were not at his side, and he happened to drop dead in the ancient tomb, things would turn very bad indeed.
After finishing his call with Er Goudan, Wei Zhao had Qiu Lingshan telephone Liu Wangli to make the arrangements, telling him to find someone to bring the dog over, while Wei Zhao drove out himself to meet it.
In the Xiao family villa, Xiao Ji hurriedly telephoned and summoned Xiao Ben back from the company.
In the Xiao family, the business was essentially all handled by Xiao Ben, while Xiao Ji was content to be an idle head of the household, managing nothing and holding only the title. For Xiao Ji, though, this was the finest of arrangements.
"Elder Brother, why did you call me back in such haste? What on earth has happened?" Xiao Ben rushed home and asked the moment he stepped through the door.
"Second Brother, good news! Wei Zhao has gone out — he is not at home. Right now is the perfect chance for us to make trouble for Gu Pengzhan!" Xiao Ji said. "A while back, we could not touch the Gu family, and it has been gnawing at me ever since. But now a fine opportunity has come, and we must not let it slip!"
