Chapter 3394 — Shen Yushu's Judgment

"No. That Song girl is Wei Zhao's woman. I loathe Wei Zhao, but the man grows more vicious by the day—even people of the ancient tier are no match for him—so I had best provoke him as little as possible. And he has backers everywhere now. Who would have thought Gu Mengyao would become the palace master of the Ancient Night Palace? I really cannot afford a clash with Wei Zhao." An Liwen spoke with hatred. "Avoid that Song girl. If you do run into her, don't injure her—just retreat at once! Tell the hypnotist later and pass down that order."
"Understood!" Little Pureheart nodded. "Then where do we rob tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow..." An Liwen spread out a map before him—it was the distribution map of the Tang family's holdings, stolen from them. With this in hand, it was a first-rate tool for robbery! He casually pointed at a spot on the map. "This antique shop here. We've robbed so many gold shops; time to change our fare. We'll take some antiques this time and smuggle them out!"
"Right, I'll go make the arrangements," Little Pureheart answered.
Qiu Lingshan could not bring herself to believe that robbers would target this antique shop. After all, the transport here was inconvenient; from the standpoint of escape, it was a poor place to flee from—nothing but narrow field paths, where even an off-road vehicle could not drive fast.
Of course, she was reasoning from the perspective of ordinary crime, and An Liwen did not consider such things at all! The place was three hours' drive from the Tang family stronghold headquarters. Even if the side roads made escape difficult, by the time help arrived from the stronghold, his men would long since be gone.
Besides, even if help did come, it might not be able to stop his people—which was precisely why An Liwen felt so secure in targeting the Tang family alone!
The antique shop's manager was a former Tang family disciple of only mid Mystic rank, no match at all for robbers. He had been under tremendous pressure these past days, and when he saw Tang Taizhong arrive with reinforcements, he breathed a great sigh of relief.
"Disciple Tang Xiaogui pays his respects to the Tang Patriarch, the Tang Young Patriarch, the Second Master Tang, the Eldest Young Master Tang, and all you fine experts..." the manager, Tang Xiaogui, said respectfully.
"No need for such courtesy toward us. But toward these gentlemen and ladies, show the utmost respect. This is the young hero Wei Zhao Lin, this is Director Song of the Mysterious Investigation Bureau, and these are Miss Chen, Miss Wang, and Miss Yu—all formidable heroines in their own right!" Tang Taizhong made the introductions.
"Yes!" Tang Xiaogui answered at once.
The food here was plainly not as fine as at the Tang stronghold. Though Tang Taizhong had done his best to order a banquet from the town's most famous restaurant and have it delivered, the standard was not that of the stronghold's chefs, nor was the variety as great.
Wei Zhao, however, cared nothing for such things, which set Tang Taizhong's mind at ease. Of all these people, the one he feared and revered most was Wei Zhao—and the one he trusted most was Wei Zhao as well. With Wei Zhao here, those robbers would surely be no problem. RS
