The shopkeeper knew the sisters Lan Shuang and Hua Wu Yue. The reason why he did not make trouble on the spot was because Zeng Wenyu was now the guest of Village Chief Lian, and was also the person whom Village Chief Lian had asked to take good care of. That's why he tacitly agreed to Zeng Wenyu bringing the three women into the inn. However, he would definitely tell Village Chief Lian about this matter after he found him.

About a quarter of an hour later, the shopkeeper followed Village Chief Lian into Anqing Inn.

Letting the shopkeeper wait downstairs, the village chief walked down the stairs to the room arranged for Zeng Wenyu on the upper floor of the inn.

When he arrived at the upper house, Village Chief Lian heard laughter coming from inside the house first. He knocked on the door and waited for the voice from inside to invite someone in before he pushed the door open and walked into the house.

The atmosphere in the room was very harmonious. When the village chief entered the room, Zeng Wenyu was standing behind Hua Wu Yue and massaging her shoulders. The other women were also sitting at the table chatting about something.

"Brother Gao, what are you doing?"

Looking at Zeng Wenyu's actions, Village Chief Lian frowned slightly. He also knew Hua Wu Yue and the others. Those three were all from the target Chamber of Commerce this time, and they were the most powerful people besides the head of the family and the old head of the family.

"Alas, didn't I make my wife angry before..."

Zeng Wenyu's words made Hua Wu Yue and the others roll their eyes at him. And from the address given by the middle-aged man who walked in, it was clear that Zeng Wenyu did not tell him the truth and also used the pseudonym Gao Yi.

"So they are the sisters-in-law of the brothers," Village Chief Lian looked at the three women in front of him with a heavy face, "I didn't expect that Brother Gao's wives are all women of status in Anton City. If I'm not mistaken, these two are the eldest daughters of the Hua family and the eldest daughter of the Lan family, right?"

"That's right, brother Lian guessed it right. This is Hua Wu Yue, the eldest daughter of the Hua family. The one sitting there is Lan Shuang, the eldest daughter of the Lan family."

Zeng Wenyu introduced the two women to Village Chief Lian. When Village Chief Lian heard his introduction, his right hand subconsciously reached for the handle of the knife behind his back.

In response to the action of Lian Village Chief, Hua Wu Yue just glanced at him and said: "If you move your hand towards the knife behind you again, I will give it up!"

"No, how could I? I know the reputation General Hua has earned in the border city. How dare I attack General Hua? I just feel that it is a bit disrespectful to General Hua to carry the knife on my body, so I want to take it off and put it outside the house."

"You'd better think so and don't have any other crooked thoughts."

Village chief Lian withdrew his hand awkwardly. Although he was not unable to beat Hua Wu Yue, that was just a one-on-one fight. No one here was someone he could underestimate. Moreover, if they really started fighting, his actions tonight would probably be exposed.

"I wonder if General Hua has any advice for us when he comes to visit our shop?"

"It's not really a guide. I just came back to stop the Hua family from making mistakes. I also came to ask you when you're going to act so I can cooperate with you when you act."

Village chief Lian looked at Hua Wu Yue with a complicated expression. He was unwilling to believe that Hua Wu Yue would do this, even though Zeng Wenyu was following her. However, he could not defeat Zeng Wenyu since he was here. Hua Wu Yue's spiritual energy was already locked on him, so he could not escape even if he wanted to.

"Since General Hua also wants to participate, I can tell you about the operation."

The village chief explained all the actions of the night without hiding anything. Hua Wu Yue nodded with satisfaction and let him go.

Seeing that Village Chief Lian was about to leave, Zeng Wenyu followed him. The two of them walked out of the room together. After closing the door, Zeng Wenyu patted Village Chief Lian on the shoulder and said, "Brother Lian, don't worry. Sister Hua came back this time because she knew what happened at home. She came back to solve this matter, not to contradict us."

The expression on the village chief's face was a little unnatural. Even though Zeng Wenyu explained the matter to him, he still couldn't believe it: "I hope so. Brother Gao, you believe in General Hua so much, then I have to believe you too. Tonight's action will not change the time. I hope that by then..."

"Don't worry, the Hua and Lan families are our helpers tonight, not our enemies. As for the Wang family, they have already made enemies with the Hua and Lan families. After Sister Hua goes back and rectifies the Hua family, the Hua family will also become our helpers," Zeng Wenyu put the knife in the hands of the village chief back on his back. "Don't worry about the Lan family. Xiaoshuang and I will go to see Uncle Lan this afternoon. Uncle will not help us tonight, but he will not let the Lan family help the city lord either. As for the Lan family's spies, they have been found."

"Okay, then I will believe Brother Gao. If it is really as you said, and the Lan family and the Hua family do not take action, then of course as long as they can refrain from taking action, or even not come to help us, our chances of winning will be much greater."

"Don't worry, I promise!"

After Zeng Wenyu made the promise, Village Chief Lian walked down the stairs and Zeng Wenyu turned around and went back into the house.

"Little brother, it's time for me to go. If I don't go back and deal with it now, someone might run out and disturb you at night."

"Then sister, I will go find you and Nong Yu after tonight!"

"Okay, but you should think about how to compensate us later. If the compensation is not enough, be careful, I will lead everyone to not let you touch me in the future!"

When Hua Wu Yue left, she took Zhang Qing with her. Zhang Qing could only give Zeng Wenyu an apologetic look. They were a group of women who were now on the same front, so Zeng Wenyu was the only one left in the room.

Zeng Wenyu had no way to deal with this situation. While he had nothing to do and there was still plenty of time before the action at night, he began to prepare.

Time passed quickly. Before Zeng Wenyu realized how much time had passed, it was already dark outside and the inn began to become lively.

Walking down from the upstairs room, he saw many people sitting in the inn and eating. Upon closer inspection, he found that these people were people he had seen in the village before. They had changed their attire and were sitting together in groups of three or four.

Zeng Wenyu calmly walked to a table where no one was sitting, which of course was consistent with the fact that he didn't know the others. He called the waiter and asked him to serve him some food.

After finishing his meal, Zeng Wenyu looked around and saw that there were still many "guests" around, then went back upstairs.

Before he entered his house, he saw Village Chief Lian waving at him at the corner upstairs. He followed Village Chief Lian into a secret room and sat quietly on a chair in the secret room.

Not long after, people started to come into the secret room one after another. These were the people who had just eaten downstairs. They had changed their clothes and identities.

Everyone who entered the secret room sat quietly in their seats. After about ten minutes, except for one empty seat, all other seats in the secret room were occupied. All the people Zeng Wenyu had met before were present.
