After the first one, there was a second one. This was the underling who handed Albert a basin of water. He looked at An Moxue nervously and said, "Boss, the Tiger Gang manages more than ten bars in this area. You need to be careful."

An Moxue nodded again.

Then, the others expressed their opinions and stood obediently to the side.

Before long, a group of people rushed in, each looking fierce and menacing.

"Albert, go!"

"yes."

Suddenly, the two sides clashed.

Whenever someone on her side was about to be attacked, An Moxue would raise her hand, send something out, and that person would cry out, as if they had lost control, fall to the ground, and then become the one being attacked.

Gradually, their own men fought with increasing ferocity, as if divinely aided, and defeated the entire enemy force, leaving them bruised, battered, and crippled.

Albert stood in the middle of the group and asked, "Want to continue? Those who are convinced and want to follow our leader, stay. Those who aren't, you can get lost. From today onwards, this bar belongs to our leader. If you're not satisfied, you can come back again."

The group dispersed completely. Albert looked at An Moxue and asked, "Chief, what do we do next?"

"What do I do? Do I need to teach you? I'll come every night until the bar is stable."

"Yes, I'll spread the word in a bit and start hiring. I'll also put up notices on the door, and I guarantee we'll be open as usual starting tomorrow night."

"Okay, go ahead and get busy! I'm going to do my homework. Call me inside if you need anything." An Moxue carried her backpack and went into the manager's office.

Albert and his men got busy outside, familiarizing themselves with the bar, checking accounts, verifying items, and sending out their newly recruited underlings to recruit more men. They were having a great time.

When An Moxue came out again, the bar had been cleaned up and was brightly lit with all the lights on.

"Chief, are you going back?"

"Okay, call if anything comes up. I'll come again tomorrow night. Let's try to take over all of Tiger Gang's territory within a week. Get ready."

"Chief, don't worry, the staff here will be complete by tomorrow. Does the bar still need any modifications?"

"No need, just change the signboard."

"Should we still use the original name when speaking to outsiders?"

"Okay, just follow the rules. You can adjust the rest as needed. I'm leaving now."

"Take care, leader," several people called out in unison.

The next evening, An Moxue arrived at the bar on time; it was already open for business.

Albert greeted An Moxue upon her arrival, saying, "Chief, most of those who left last night have returned, and we've also recruited some new people."

"Alright, one person stays behind to guard the place, the rest of you brothers come with me. Let's take on the next one."

Then, An Moxue and the remaining underlings she brought from Oseri drove to another bar managed by the Tiger Gang.

And so, by raiding one or two bars a night, within a week, An Moxue and her henchmen had taken over all twelve bars under the Tiger Gang's control, subduing everyone in the gang, from the boss to the underlings, so that they dared not fight back or harbor any rebellious thoughts.

In no time, everyone in the area near Chunshan University knew that the Tiger Gang had changed hands. Some were observing, while others were provoking.

During the day, An Moxue attended classes as usual, and after class she collected information about England, especially about the Spring Mountain Research Institute, which was the research institute where An Moxue's father's last mission target was located.

Before she set off, Wu Sicheng's butler, Uncle De, gave her some information about the female assistant and the scientist she had escorted that time.

It has been determined that the assistant was bribed before departure, with the target being the hidden blueprints for the escort machinery. The Mingwei family from England was the ones who conspired with Zhu Zhen.

An Moxue also discovered that the Mingwei family had amassed a large amount of wealth in the Lan Kingdom during the war years. Their targets were all established families with a rich history and resources, and they had no shortage of jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and precious porcelain.

An Moxue guessed that the Mingwei family also knew the details of the An family. Somehow they found out about An Muyang, which led to Zhu Zhen's collusion with outsiders to steal the An family's treasures. She just didn't know how much they knew, whether it was just the treasures or the mines.

An Moxue has secretly collected a lot of information about the Mingwei family.

Saturday night, it was past midnight, but the Mingwei family villa was still brightly lit. The Mingwei family was holding a birthday banquet that night, and the living room was filled with elegant ladies and clinking glasses.

An Moxue disguised herself and applied for a temporary waitress job. Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, she entered various rooms of the villa and began to check them out.

Finally, she discovered the secret room in a locked study on the first floor.

Upon opening the secret room, An Moxue had no time to examine it. She quickly gathered everything inside and then looted all the valuables from the study.

Then he left the study and, taking advantage of everyone's inattention, quietly left the Mingwei family.

It wasn't until the next day, when someone entered the study and saw that many things were missing, that they realized the house had been burgled.

When the head of the family entered the study and opened the secret room, he found that everything inside had disappeared, and the words "Return to its rightful owner" were written in bright red blood on the wall.

But no matter how hard they investigated, they couldn't find out how the things disappeared. And soon after, people in the Mingwei family who had been to that study began to act strangely. At first, they had nightmares, then they gradually went insane, then they started self-harming, and finally they died.

Within a few months, news of the Mingwei family's affairs somehow spread, becoming increasingly mysterious and terrifying.

As An Moxue walked through the campus, she could hear the legends of the Mingwei family—

"Really? That's incredible. What bad things did their family do to get all of them infected with this strange disease? Three of them have already died."

"It seems to be related to their family's plundering in Lan Kingdom back then. It is said that a few months ago, it was the birthday of Mingwei's wife. The next day, they discovered that all the treasures they had looted in Lan Kingdom had disappeared. Then, their family members started to fall ill. Some people saw many vengeful ghosts going to their house to take revenge. They were haunted by evil spirits. One should never take what is hard-earned."

"That's because their house is haunted by vengeful ghosts. How dare they live there? Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine!"

Who knows!

"Serves them right, let them be arrogant, especially Mingwei Lili from the Finance Department, who hasn't been to school for over ten days. She used to bully so many people in the Finance Department, let's see if she's still alive this time!"

"I've heard of this Mingwei Lili. Apparently, anyone who's prettier than her but from a less privileged background has been bullied by her. It's really too much."

An Moxue recalled the girl who stopped her more than ten days ago. She was alright looking, but she had an arrogant attitude that made people uncomfortable. The things she said were even more unpleasant. She discovered the poison in her body at that time. It turned out to be Ming Weili. She had heard so much about her!
