Star Trace Gate

On the first floor of the mansion, in the bathroom.

Xu Bangzi stood under the dim light, his head slightly lowered and his expression calm.

Wang Shoucai stood at the window with his back to him, and asked expressionlessly, "What is their action plan? How many people will enter the Dragon Treasury?"

"There is no finalized action plan yet." Xu Bangzi paused for a moment and said, "But from what I know about them, the people who will enter the Dragon Vault this time should be the same group from last night, the list I gave you through my servants. As for the time... it's about the time when the mansion sets off the fireworks."

Wang Shoucai frowned and repeated, "Should be, almost?! You've been with Gao Jiansheng for so many years, and in the end you only came up with two ambiguous words?"

"One of their men died in the dragon warehouse before, so they have become very cautious." Xu Bangzi replied in a low voice.

After a short silence, Wang Shoucai slowly turned around, put his hands behind his back and looked at Xu Bangzi with sharp eyes: "Did you reveal your identity?"

Xu Bangzi clenched his fists and said calmly, "They must have suspected me. Last night in the Dragon Treasury, a fool was influenced by desire and activated the mechanism of the cornucopia. He and I were too close to avoid him, so... I subconsciously hid in the groove of the wall."

Wang Shoucai looked at him quietly, his expression stiff for a long time before he replied: "Then you might have been set up."

"No." Xu Bangzi shook his head: "Old Liu trusts me, and I have been in the Gao family for nearly 20 years and have never done anything out of line. They will not make a decision based on such a thing."

"Since you said there is no leak, then let's go on." Wang Shoucai said softly, "Let's see the result."

"Yes." Xu Bangzi responded respectfully, and then asked, "Master... Master, if my plan succeeds, can you give me that...?"

"Once there is a result, I will give it to you." Wang Shoucai made a promise.

"Thank you, master." Xu Bangzi bent his waist even lower.

"Well, you go first, I'll wait for your news." Wang Shoucai waved his hand.

Xu Bangzi paused for a moment, clasped his fists and reminded, "Among these people, there are only two people who make me feel very dangerous. The old fellow named Jiang, and the young man named Li... These two people don't show their emotions on their faces, and they are good at observation. They do things in a very shady way. The master should be more cautious."

After he finished speaking, Wang Shoucai hadn't waited for a response when Wang Lili, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but ask, "Is that Li guy going into the Dragon Vault tonight? I've looked for him before, but didn't he want to have a detailed talk with me tonight?"

"No, I haven't heard him say that." There was a gleam in Xu Bangzi's eyes, as if he had confirmed something.

When Wang Lili heard this answer, she probably guessed what Ren Ye meant.

"If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

"Go."

After saying that, Xu Bangzi left quickly alone.

In the dimly lit bathroom, Butler Zhu thought for a long time before asking softly, "Master, if Xu Bangzi helps us accomplish this, then do we really have to take that thing...?"

"No hurry, we'll release the eagle when we see the rabbit." Wang Shoucai interrupted, "Xu Bangzi has been in the Gao family for twenty years. We don't know whether his personality has changed or whether he and Gao Jiansheng have a master-servant relationship. So everything depends on the result... If he is loyal to me and has received the person, it's okay to return one to him first; if he wants to have the best of both worlds... then I will refine another iron man puppet."

Butler Zhu nodded upon hearing this.

Wang Shoucai turned his head and looked at his daughter: "Are you really going to look for that boy?"

"Yes, father. Leave the boy to me. The dynastic luck contained in him can help the descendants of my Wang family to rise to prominence." Wang Lili replied.

"I will naturally arrange many backup plans for you to ensure that nothing goes wrong." Wang Shoucai nodded slightly, looking at his daughter lovingly: "If you must go through this, I will steer the ship for you while I am still here."

"Thank you, Dad." Wang Lili looked at her father. There was the touch of family affection in her eyes, as well as a flash of greed, but more of it was - awe.

After saying that, the three of them walked out of the bathroom.

Wang Lili looked at Butler Zhu and whispered, "Prepare as I say..."

"Yes!"

……

Ballroom.

After Ren Ye and a few others finished discussing outside, they hurried back.

When he sat down, Ren looked around as usual, and his eyes lingered briefly on the three tables where the Gao family's birthday party was sitting. He could see clearly what those people were doing.

Retracting his gaze, Ren Ye reached out and touched his chin, then whispered to Xu Qingzhao: "My beloved baby...!"

When the "couple" communicated through voice transmission, Mad Dog also asked Jiang Qin: "Old man, how is your discussion going? When will you take action?"

"Don't ask. I will tell you when the time comes." Mr. Jiang replied indifferently.

"... Damn it, everyone is being so secretive." Mad Dog cursed in his heart: "If you don't use my extraordinary wisdom and rich criminal experience, you will regret it sooner or later."

&nb/> After a while, the servant in charge of entertaining guests in the Wang Mansion stood at the door and shouted loudly: "Dear guests, please stand up and move to the outside to watch the fireworks. Everyone should be orderly and don't crowd...!"

The shouts continued to ring out, and the members of the Gao family's birthday celebration team also stood up one after another.

Ren Ye stayed beside Xu Qingzhao, communicating with her while following the crowd outside.

At this moment, the entrance to the banquet hall was almost blocked by the guests, and there were people inside and outside.

Ren also pulled Xu Qingzhao's hand and took her to the side, while Jiang Qin, Yu Weifeng, Lao Qu and others had already begun to notify the people entering the Dragon Library to be prepared.

In the open space in front, the servants of Wang Mansion were placing fireworks. There were loud gongs and drums all around, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Ren Ye and Xu Qingzhao squeezed forward a few steps and happened to see Xu Bangzi standing with the servants.

"Snapped!"

Ren Ye patted his shoulder and asked with a smile, "Brother Xu."

Xu Bangzi turned around and looked at him, a very stiff smile appeared on his cheek: "Are we going to start?"

Ren nodded at him, also giving him a look that showed he was ready to act immediately.

After receiving the signal, Xu Bangzi stood next to Ren Ye and looked towards the direction where the fireworks were about to be set off with Ren Ye and Xu Qingzhao.

The three of them stood in the crowd for less than five minutes before they heard bangs and saw fireworks exploding in the air.

At this moment, a scent wafted over, and a small, soft hand patted Ren Ye's shoulder: "Brother Li."

Ren Ye turned around and grinned, "Ms. Wang."

Wang Lili held two glasses of red wine and looked at him with drunken eyes: "I have been waiting for you since the banquet started, you really don't give me face."

"No, I saw you were busy just now." Ren Ye clasped his fists and replied, "I was thinking that I would meet you alone after the banquet is over."

Wang Lili shook her head slightly: "I drank a lot of wine and don't want to wait any longer. My room... can also watch the fireworks, and it has the best viewing angle."

Ren Ye looked at him and refused politely, "There are too many people here..."

"Brother Li, you have rejected me time and again. You are really embarrassing me." Wang Lili interrupted again: "In this village, you are the only one who can reject me time and time again."

The other party's words made it very clear that this was obviously not an invitation that was mutually agreed upon...

When Ren Ye heard this, his brain started working rapidly, and Xu Qingzhao next to him had already prepared himself to turn hostile, with his little hands ready to form sword fingers.

The two looked at each other, Ren Ye clenched his fists, and after considering for a long time, he immediately sent a message to Xu Qingzhao: "She insisted, so I have to go with her, otherwise she will keep watching and no one will be able to enter the Dragon Treasury."

Xu Qingzhao became anxious and replied in a rare angry tone: "What if she murdered you?!"

"Now it seems that even if I don't go, it will be difficult for me to leave this village safely. She has already set her sights on me." Ren Ye replied in a hurried tone: "The key is you, you must do what I say, but don't show it now, wait for action."

Xu Qingzhao was still a little worried. She had a conflicted expression on her face and stood there stubbornly without moving.

"My beloved... nothing in this world can go according to your wishes. Accidents are the norm." Ren Ye persuaded again: "Do your best and leave the rest to fate. I believe in you, and you have to believe in me too."

The cold wind blows at night and the fireworks shine brightly under the night sky.

Xu Qingzhao was silent for a while, and then replied concisely: "Zhu Zigui, if you really can't get out of this Greedy Village, I will use my strongest second-level combat power to bear the weight of the Heavenly Dao...bloodbath every remaining soul of the Wang family. Then I will be attacked and killed. In this case, you will be responsible for two lives, so please be careful when dealing with things."

After saying that, Xu Qingzhao decisively turned around and left.

She really wasn't very good at expressing her emotions in words. Deep down, she didn't want Ren Ye to be impulsive and take risks, so she acted very serious, even a little naive, and placed the weight of her life on Ren Ye's important decision.

She just wanted to tell King Huai that you can’t take risks with yourself. If something really happens, I will completely let myself go...

At some point, she started to think too much about her husband who was only in name only...

This "excessive" emotion made her feel ashamed and confused for a time.

After Xu Qingzhao left, Ren Ye turned his head and glanced at Xu Bangzi, his eyes clear... and innocent.

After the two nodded to each other, he said to Wang Lili: "Then... Miss Wang, please lead the way, we will talk alone."

"Please!" Wang Lili made way.

……

Two minutes later.

When Jiang Qin saw Ren Ye being taken away, he frowned and said, "He...he was taken away by that little girl."

"We can't wait any longer. After the fireworks are over, there will be a party. We don't know when he will be back. We don't have much time." Yu Weifeng replied.

Xu Qingzhao came over and said calmly: "He said, no need to wait, let's act."
