I survive in the weird Liaozhai

Wang Shouye felt a little embarrassed when he heard Gu Nian'an's request. The Wang Mansion was his, Wang Shouye's ancestral property, and no accidents could happen here, so Wang Shouye planned to ask clearly first.

"Master Nian'an, professional matters should be handled by professionals. Wang understands this after years of business experience.

So I won't ask you how you determined that the ghost baby is in the center of the city, but I want to know how confident you are in destroying the ghost baby, Taoist Nian An."

Hearing this, Gu Nian'an pondered for a moment and decided to tell the truth.

"Master Wang, I'll be honest with you and say it's fifty-fifty. After all, we haven't really faced each other yet, so it's hard to judge anything."

“This…~”

Gu Nian'an's answer made Wang Shouye even more hesitant. If Taoist Nian'an was more than 80% sure, Wang Shouye would dare to give it a try.

But the risk of a 50-50 chance is too great. Once Taoist Nian An fails to eliminate the ghost baby, he estimates that his Wang family may not be able to withstand the ghost baby's revenge in the later stage.

It's true that he wanted revenge, and he, Wang Shouye, dared to give it a try even if it meant sacrificing his own life. But if the price was to sacrifice the Wang family's foundation, he, Wang Shouye, would never agree to it.

"Master Nian'an, I'm sorry that I can't agree to your request.

The Wang Mansion is the ancestral property of the Wang family. Even if I die, nothing can happen to the Wang Mansion. So, Taoist Nian An, you should understand my difficulties. I wonder if Taoist Nian An has found other suitable places to set up an ambush."

In addition to the palace, he did find a suitable ambush location, but this would depend on the power of the Wang family in Anyang City.

"There is indeed another suitable place to set up an ambush. I wonder if Patriarch Wang has ever been to Tingfeng Cottage."

"Tingfeng Cottage"? This place is not far from the palace.

Tingfeng Cottage is the best place to meet guests in the entire Anyang City.

Although this is a place of entertainment, it is elegant and has a unique artistic conception unlike ordinary places.

Therefore, this is also one of the favorite places for the powerful and wealthy in Anyang City.

The most important thing is that this place is the property of the Sun family, and the county magistrate's office is also involved, so it is a bit difficult to set an ambush in "Tingfeng Cottage", but it is better than at home.

Wang Shouye frowned, thought for a moment and finally gritted his teeth.

"Master Nian'an, please wait a moment. I will give you a satisfactory answer within two hours."

After saying this, Wang Shouye said goodbye and left.

After Wang Shouye left, Gu Nian'an asked the steward to arrange some food for them to eat while waiting.

As for Xu Chongxiao and Wang Jie, he didn't need to worry about them at all. With Wang Jie taking care of them, it wouldn't be difficult to prepare a table of delicacies.

At the moment of Mao time (modern five o'clock), Wang Shouye returned to the palace, but his face looked a little ugly. It was not until he was about to step into the inner hall that he adjusted his facial expression.

Entering the inner hall, Wang Shouye saw Gu Nian'an drinking tea, so he walked straight up to him and bowed.

"Master Nian'an has fulfilled his mission. No strangers will enter Tingfeng Lodge in the next five days. You can carry out your plans without any worries."

It seems that the Wang family’s influence in Anyang City is really not to be underestimated.

When he checked it out earlier, he discovered that Tingfeng Cottage occupied a large area, and there was a constant stream of people in silk and satin at the door, so it would probably cost a lot to book a place like that for five days.

However, Tingfeng Cottage is in the city center after all, so if you want to set a trap, it would be safer to wait until night.

So Gu Nian'an asked the head of the Wang family to notify Wang Jie and Xu Chongxiao and ask them to return to the palace first and make plans at night.

Time flies, and soon night comes.

It was 10 o'clock in the evening and night had fallen for a long time. There was no one on the road. He took Xu Chongxiao and Wang Jie into Tingfeng Cottage.

However, as soon as he entered Tingfeng Cottage, his expression suddenly turned a little ugly.

It is also conceivable that the guest could refuse, but the original staff of Tingfeng Cottage could not make proper arrangements at the moment.

Therefore, there is no way a person who can become the head of a powerful family would be merciful.

Patriarch Wang knew clearly how dangerous this place would become once they lured the ghost babies into Tingfeng Cottage, but he still left so many people here.

Alas! I can only say that Patriarch Wang, Patriarch Wang, you have a really dark heart.

Fortunately, Gu Nian'an is not a saintly person. If he meets a knight with a strong sense of justice.

Ha! Who cares about the ghost baby? I have to fight the black-hearted businessman Wang first.

Gu Nian'an turned around and saw that our Young Master Xu's fists were clenched and flames were almost popping out of his eyes.

It seems that he also saw through the sinister intentions of the head of the Wang family.

As for Wang Jie standing aside, he looked calm.

It also shows how much importance the children of big families value the lives of some lower-class people.

But, eldest brother, let’s not talk about second brother, he is not much better than the head of Wang family.

After all, it was he who brought this crisis upon others.

He can only pay more attention when the ghost baby attacks. It is impossible to ask him to change his plan temporarily.

Just as Gu Nian'an was about to go to the backyard to take a look, a man in red

A beautiful woman with skin as white as cream, a delicate forehead and eyebrows, a pair of bright eyes like autumn water, and a faint ancient charm walked towards the three people from the second floor with lotus steps.

The woman came to the three people and bowed before speaking softly.

"My humble self, Li Hongxiu, greets the three gentlemen."

Gu Nian'an had never been to a place like a brothel and didn't know how to respond for a moment, but she just followed the normal process.

So Gu Nian'an clasped his fists and said, "I am Gu Nian'an, nice to meet Miss Hongxiu."

As for the two people behind him, ha! One of them still had a blazing look in his eyes and a somewhat conflicted expression.

There is also one with his nostrils turned up in the air, just pretend not to see it.

Hearing Gu Nian'an's words, Li Hongxiu's eyes lit up slightly, and she looked at him carefully for a few seconds.

"Are you Master Nian'an? Patriarch Wang has given instructions to Hongxiu today.

In the next five days, Master Nian An will be the owner of Tingfeng Villa, and all matters of Tingfeng Villa will be arranged by Master Nian An.

Master Nian'an, if you have any requests, please feel free to ask, and Hongxiu will definitely arrange them in advance."

Gu Nian'an almost understood that the woman named Li Hongxiu should be the "shopkeeper" of Tingfeng Cottage.

The head of the Wang family didn't know what price he paid to obtain the temporary ownership of Tingfeng Cottage for five days.

Then he transferred this right to himself, and in the next five days, he could do whatever he wanted in Tingfeng Cottage without being disturbed by anyone.

Ha! Although the head of the Wang family is a bit evil, his ability to handle affairs is really beyond reproach.

"Miss Hongxiu, I am borrowing your precious land just to do something.

You can do whatever you want during the day. I won't stop you even if you go out shopping or visit relatives.

But after the evening Xu time (7 to 9 o'clock), I hope you can stay in your room and not go anywhere, no matter how loud the noise is outside.

I hope Miss Hongxiu can explain everything to everyone in Tingfeng Cottage. Thank you for your help, Miss Hongxiu."

Li Hongxiu blinked her eyes that were as clear as autumn water, and for a moment she didn't understand what the person in front of her meant.
