Chapter 1391 — The Robbery, Part Two: A Lone Vigilante Who Never Speaks, Crashing In With Brute Force and Leaving Everyone Dumbstruck
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Beneath the utter helplessness and grief of the gold shop's owner and his few guards, the masked man, having stripped the shop of everything, swaggered off...
The Land Rover circled a few more times and came to a secluded spot. Then another man stepped down from the vehicle. He brought out a set of license plates and fitted them onto the Land Rover, and the number on them was, remarkably, "tt000"!
Once the plates were changed, the Land Rover did not go looping through the city again, but headed straight onto the suburban road. After winding this way and that for a stretch, it came to a halt before the gate of a small breeding farm.
On the surface the place was a breeding farm, but in truth it had already been bought up by An Liwen and quietly turned into another of his bases. For a man as laden with wealth as An Liwen, buying the place was no difficulty at all. Besides, this time An Liwen was also raking in money for the Fire Wolf Gang, so the cost of the land would naturally be deducted from the proceeds.
"Young Master Wen, everything went smoothly. Zero One's robbing speed is extraordinary. I had meant only to try one bank, but his speed went quite beyond my expectations, all of it finished in under five minutes. So I took it upon myself to rob a gold shop as well. You won't hold my overstepping against me, will you, Young Master Wen?" The speaker was the very man who had driven the car earlier and stepped out to change the plates. His name was Big Mule, a name given him by An Liwen, of course.
Little Mule had been caught and was doing the time in his place, so the Fire Wolf Gang had sent along another man to take the fall. An Liwen had never bothered to remember what the fellow had originally been called, but he had given him the name Big Mule.
Arranging for such a man was no trouble at all for the Fire Wolf Gang. It required a not-inconsiderable settlement fee, true, but weighed against the profits An Liwen could bring the Fire Wolf Gang, that was a single hair off nine oxen.
"You're out raking in money for me, why would I blame you?" An Liwen cackled. "It seems Dr. Yin's experiment has succeeded. A haul of no small size on the very first try. How much did we take this time?"
"This time we went to a fairly large bank in the commercial district, so the cash flow was considerable, and there was some foreign currency as well. The gold shop was a sizable one too, so the take should be decent." Big Mule did not actually know how much money had been stolen, but he had already sent men to tally it: "Young Master Wen, I've sent people to count it up. I expect we'll have exact figures in a little while!"
"Very good!" An Liwen nodded. "Take the Zero One test subject to Dr. Yin for energy replenishment and thought hypnosis. Once the heat has died down, we'll go pull another job!"
"Yes, sir!" Big Mule nodded and withdrew.
And An Liwen laughed merrily to himself: "I really am a genius. This way of raking in money not only turns a profit, it kills two birds with one stone by framing Wei Zhao. Haha, Wei Zhao, this time you'll have no way to talk your way out of it!"
An Liwen's money-raking plan this time was simple: robbery, endless robbery. That was the only true business that costs nothing to run!
