445 Not That Much (1/2)
”Overseer, this matter is a little odd. Although we exposed those documents and dealt a certain blow to the bureau, the bureau seems to have gone mad recently. It's like a rabid dog that's biting people everywhere. Their reaction is much worse than we expected,” An Sheng said as he read the latest intelligence.
An Tianzuo was also looking at the information. He had similar views to An Sheng. It seemed odd that the bureau had gone to such great lengths.
An Sheng was about to say something when his phone suddenly rang. An Sheng looked at the caller ID and said to An Tianzuo, ”The informer I left on campus says that Zhou Wen is back.”
An Sheng had previously gone to the capital but had failed to find Zhou Wen. He was certain that Zhou Wen hadn't been there.
As he had no idea where Zhou Wen had gone. Without any leads, An Sheng had no choice but to return to Luoyang.
An Tianzuo looked at An Sheng without saying a word. An Sheng understood what An Tianzuo was getting at and answered the call.
After a while, An Sheng hung up and said to An Tianzuo, ”Zhou Wen has returned. Should I call him and ask him?”
”That's your business,” An Tianzuo said coldly.
An Sheng called Zhou Wen. ”Young Master Wen, where have you been the past few days? Madam has been very worried about you.”
Zhou Wen thought for a moment and said, ”I visited Don't Cry Valley and got some things from there.”
He had caused too great a stir and Zhou Wen knew that he couldn't hide it. Even if the bureau couldn't figure out that he was the one behind it, An Sheng and company would figure out something in the future. After all, the time he went missing coincided with it.
Rather than waiting for them to find out, he might as well say it himself.
”Don't Cry Valley… Wait… Are you talking about the Special Inspector Bureau's Primordial Crystal mine…” An Sheng said in surprise.
”The mineral deposits are a gift from the land. If the bureau can take it, I should be able to take it too, right?” Zhou Wen said with a smile.
”Did you really enter Don't Cry Valley's Primordial Crystal mine? How much did you get?” An Sheng immediately asked.
”Not that much. I just took some of the reserves and dug a little more,” Zhou Wen said.
An Sheng's expression turned odd. Zhou Wen made it sound simple, but the recent crazy actions of the bureau made An Sheng realize that it wasn't as simple as Zhou Wen had claimed.
”About how much did you take?” An Sheng asked.
”I'm not too sure of the number. There are probably a few hundred chests. One chest weighs about a ton,” Zhou Wen said.
An Sheng gaped in disbelief.
After a long while, An Sheng came to his senses and exhorted Zhou Wen. ”Stay on campus and don't go anywhere. Don't touch the Primordial Crystal ores you have. Don't let anyone know about it.” He then hung up.
”I heard that.” An Tianzuo's expression was somewhat odd. Even he found it unbelievable that a person had snatched hundreds of tonnes of Primordial Crystal ores from the bureau.
”It's no wonder the Special Inspector Bureau has gone mad. A few hundred tonnes of Primordial Crystal ores. This isn't about stealing ores, it's about killing the bureau! Young Master Wen really is gutsy, and he actually did it. It's hard to imagine how he managed to do it alone. It looks like he's growing faster than we expected,” An Sheng praised.
