"This is not a question of whether to help or not. I have never helped them. Even if I have, I only helped people in Guihua County. What does it have to do with people in Rucheng? Also, even if we take a step back, how can we trust them to protect me? This is too risky. This time, their vital interests are threatened. Everyone has their own daughters, wives, and sisters. Shaoan, I can't take the risk."

Hua Qiming sighed, not knowing what to say.

"So, no matter whether I can catch them or not, you will be pushed out. Is there no way to break through?"

"Yes, that's why I'm here. Tomorrow I'll pretend to be defeated and be captured, and you guys will follow me. To capture a thief, you need to seize the stolen goods and make him unable to defend himself."

Hua Qiming narrowed his eyes and looked at Lan Wangshu steadily without saying a word.

Wangshu looked back at him stubbornly, sticking to his decision.

In the end, of course, Hua Qiming was defeated.

"Be careful, Lan Wangshu."

"Thank you, Master Hua, for your help."

Lan Wangshu's lips slowly spread into a smile, and for the first time she used women's etiquette and performed a grand salute.

There was more guilt in Hua Qiming's eyes. If he could find out everything and arrest the person... No, she couldn't think like that. Fortunately, she didn't arrest the person, otherwise, Lan Wangshu would have been pushed out by now.

"When do you plan to take action? Do I need to make corresponding arrangements to let the people of Rucheng know the truth of the matter? In this way, even if the noble families know everything, at least they will not do anything openly."

Lan Wangshu blinked her eyes. This was indeed a thorny problem that had to be solved as soon as possible, but she couldn't think of any suitable excuse.

"Let's discuss this matter tomorrow. I have to go back and make some plans."

Lan Wangshu stood up and was about to leave, but after taking a few steps he turned back and looked at Hua Qiming.

"What else?" Hua Qiming asked.

"Shaoan, in your opinion, what can attract the attention of the people of the entire city?" Lan Wangshu asked while putting on a mask.

"If there is anything in this world that can move people's hearts, it must be money, right?"

Hua Qiming gave the most intuitive answer, but it is obviously not enough.

"The message can only convey so much content and so far, so we need to gather people in one place and then use money to move their hearts."

Lan Wangshu only left his somewhat pale lips exposed. His lips opened and closed, giving off a mysterious and dark feeling. At least that was what Hua Qiming thought.

"That makes sense. Then wait for Taibai's news."

Hua Qiming wanted to shake his sleeves, but then he realized that he was not wearing a coat. His face turned red and he was so embarrassed that he couldn't speak.

"Taibai, why didn't you remind me that I was so disheveled? After all, we are a single man and a single woman, so this is not appropriate."

Lan Wangshu looked at Hua Qiming's lowered eyes, and then looked at the clothes he was wearing. He was only wearing the gauze sleeves outside. He didn't show any part of his body. What was this person talking about?

"It's not like you're not wearing any clothes."

Lan Wangshu looked at Hua Qiming's young wife, rolled his eyes, as if no one wanted to see him, turned around and went out, disappearing into the night.

She walked around in the cover of night, and only walked slowly towards Zui Fusheng when she could no longer hear any sound of living things around her.

As soon as Lan Wangshu entered the room, she quickly bolted the door, took off her mask, and sat down at the round table in the hall to think. There were too many things to do every day, which made her exhausted.

"Master, where have you been?"

Gao Qiao fell from the beam and landed in front of Lan Wangshu.

His tone was a little anxious and there was a hint of worry on his face.

Lan Wangshu glanced at Gao Qiao and said nothing.

She knew that Gaoqiao was not a loyal subordinate, but because he liked Wu Yan, she was able to control Gaoqiao.

"What's the matter?"

"It's okay, I'm just worried about the master."

Seeing that Lan Wangshu was very cold, Gao Qiao hurriedly answered Lan Wangshu's question.

His expression was a little awkward, as if he realized that what he said was inappropriate. He secretly cursed himself in his heart, wondering why he didn't be more direct at the beginning. Wu Yan, who was recruited at the same time, had already become his right-hand man, but he was still wandering on the edge every day.

Takahashi couldn't help but sigh. Sometimes, what was more helpless than betrayal was that he clearly didn't betray, but he was discovered just because he knew a little bit about the intention. Sometimes, people really couldn't advance or retreat.

Lan Wangshu sighed, thinking that Gaoqiao was his subordinate after all, and he shouldn't be too harsh on him.

What's more, Takahashi is obviously very aware now and wants to do things well, so she can give him a chance.

So she said, "I went to take care of some things."

Her voice was soft, but it carried an unquestionable tone.

"Oh, what's the matter? Do you need my help?"

Gaoqiao came close to Lan Wangshu, smiling in a fawning manner, looking particularly worthless.

He wanted to move closer and show his courtesy, but was stopped by a knife handle.

Lan Wangshu and Gao Qiao looked back and found that it was Wu Yan.

Wu Yan stood behind the two men, holding the hilt of the knife, with cold eyes, like a sculpture.

He exuded a dangerous and fierce aura that made people unconsciously want to retreat.

“Keep your distance from the master.”

Wu Yan's voice was deep and powerful, as if it came from his abdomen.

His eyes were fixed on Takahashi, without any retreat, and with a hint of displeasure.

Takahashi was a little unconvinced. He thought he had done nothing wrong.

However, he also knew that Wu Yan was Lan Wangshu's confidant and could not be offended easily. Most importantly, he did not want to make Wu Yan unhappy, nor did he want the other party to be annoyed with him.

So he had to return to his seat angrily and stopped talking.

Lan Wangshu glanced at Gao Qiao, then at Wu Yan, feeling a little emotional. It is true that there is always someone who can defeat you.

She knew that the two people around her were doing it for her own good, whether actively or passively, intentionally or unintentionally, but sometimes unnecessary conflicts would always arise.

Of course, she doesn't need to intervene in these things. Someone will always back down and compromise.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, come on, money! Look, the power of love is so great."

[So, may I ask the host, when do you plan to start your own love? ]

"Don't talk about such unlucky topics. I only like money. Talking about feelings is too expensive. It's better not to talk about it."
