Chapter 447 - To Lure a Snake Out of Its Hole. Commiting Murder in the Night (1/2)

When Liu Gang’s squad heard Sun Lan’s voice again, they immediately let out a sigh of relief.

At the start, they had imagined the villa was under attack. If anything had really happened to Sun Lan and the others, Liu Gang’s squad wouldn’t be able to explain to Zhang Che.

From the looks of it, Premium House was probably broken into by some rioters, wanting to rob the store of its beast cards during the snow disaster.

Earlier in the day, disturbances of various scales had occurred at various places in Bei Du, too. Many unlawful people tried to break into beast card shops and material shops to steal things while the heavy snow was ongoing and officers were busy clearing the accumulated snow.

Unexpectedly, even Premium House was met with such a situation!

Didn’t those people know to ask around for information before making their moves? It was impossible for them to escape Bei Du, even if they stole the Premium House’s beast cards. That wasn’t the business of some common folk. Would they be such an easy target to steal from?

“What’s wrong, Auntie? Did something happen at Premium House?”

Due to her underwhelming strength, Huang Tielan was still a short distance away from the villa. As a result, she didn’t catch what Sun Lan said, and only heard something about Premium House.

Sun Lan came down from the upper story with an anxious look on her face, nodding and said, “Mmm, Muyun just called, saying rioters have broken into the store and were destroying the shelves and safe, trying to steal the beast cards.”

Huang Tielan’s face turned grave. She hurriedly asked, “Ah? Are they alright?”

Sun Lan shook her head slightly, replying, “They’re fine. The shop had just closed for the night. Muyun only heard about the matter after receiving a call from one of the staff who lived next to the store. Right, I already told them not to go to the shop, and that it’s fine if the things are lost. Just keep themselves safe.”

Huang TIelan sighed in relief. She nodded, “That’s right. What’s important is that they’re fine. We’ll retrieve what we lost sooner or later.”

After a short pause, she turned to Liu Gang’s squad and said, “Big Brother Liu, I’ll have to trouble you guys to make a trip over there.”

However, Liu Gang furrowed his brow slightly, saying, “This matter seems a little fishy… Then… Yi Chong, you make the trip. We’ll stay and look after the house.”

Yi Chong nodded silently. His figure shook, disappearing from the villa’s main hall. Shortly after, the rumbling of an engine came from the courtyard.

Although there was still some snow on the road to the store, it wasn’t a problem for the beastly cars Zhang Che had bought at all.

——

In the villa, Liu Gang let out a low groan and explained to Huang Tielan and Sun Lan after seeing their confused expressions, “Young Miss, I suspect this matter isn’t that simple.

“After the many disturbances caused during the day, the streets in Bei Du are being patrolled by military officers everywhere. No matter how daring those rioters are, they wouldn’t dare break into shops so casually.

“So, I’m suspecting that someone wanted to target the villa and has purposefully caused trouble at the shop, trying to lure us over. If that really is true, it would be troublesome if an expert attacked here after we had left.”

After listening to Liu Gang’s analysis, Huang Tielan finally nodded in understanding.

Indeed, Zhang Che had made quite a few enemies of his own. If this really was a trap set by someone who had designs against him, the villa would be unprotected if it came under attack after Liu Gang’s squad went to back up Premium House.

If they only sent Yi Chong over, in addition to leaving the two epic-quality beast cards here with Liu Gang and Pang Dazhi, their combat force wouldn’t be affected much. They didn’t have to be scared even if a high-tier beastmaster attacked them.

On the side of Premium House, if it truly was mere rioters causing trouble, a high-tier beastmaster with legend-quality subdued beasts like Yi Chong would be more than enough to handle the situation.

After understanding this, Huang Tielan nodded and said, “That’s fine. Although the possibility isn’t high, we still have to be careful.”

A look of worry was on Sun Lan’s face after hearing the two’s conversation.

She had never seen Liu Gang’s squad fight before. She only knew that they were high-tier beastmasters, and was thus worried it’d be a troublesome situation if someone really came to attack them.

Seeing her worried face, Liu Gang smiled faintly and said, “Madam Sun, Young Miss, you go rest. With us two here, we’ll make sure there won’t be any danger.”

“I’m counting on you then, Xiaoliu!” Sun Lan nodded at Liu Gang and Pang Dazhi gratefully. Accompanied by Huang Tielan, she returned to the upper story, her heart troubled, unable to fall asleep.
