Chapter 674 Tomorrow Will Never Be Calm
Ye Xiaoman applauded their insidiousness, "Killing three birds with one stone! You've made a killing this time."
Wu Shisanniang took out a map and spread it on the table.
"Every month, the ten on-duty owners of our Chamber of Commerce gather together and go to the main warehouse to count the valuables that will be shipped out the following month."
"I've heard rumors that the Water Spirit Pearl has suddenly attracted a lot of attention. Qing Yuanhu plans to extract the Water Spirit Pearl from the warehouse and arrange a short tour next month to stir up more hype."
Ye Xiaoman nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Such internal information was only known to a few senior executives of the Huantian Chamber of Commerce. Ordinary thieves would not be able to find out the information even if they wanted to steal it. The money was well spent.
Wu Shisanniang said, "Then the three of you will disguise yourself and pretend to be the chief court officials accompanying Qin Xingshi and me, and sneak into the main storehouse."
"We will give you a high-quality replica of the Water Spirit Pearl and help you lure the other on-duty masters away. You will then use the troll-cat-for-the-prince trick to swap the genuine Water Spirit Pearl from the warehouse."
"After you finish the inventory, take the treasure and leave with us."
"Any questions?"
Xiao Chujing replied: "No problem. When does it start?"
Qin Xingshi said, "We usually count the treasure house in the middle of each month, and there are still several days until the middle of the month. Since you asked us to deliver the goods before sunset tomorrow, the count can only be scheduled for tomorrow."
Wu Shisan Niang frowned in embarrassment.
"To change the fixed inventory time, we must find the signatures of all five on-duty owners... But if we change the time for no reason, Qing Yuanhu will come to his senses later and will definitely suspect us."
"Well, let's take the risk. We'll see to it."
"Tomorrow, just show up on time."
Xiao Chujing and the two men high-fived each other and said, "It's a deal."
After the plan was agreed upon, the two hosts on duty said goodbye and hurried back to make preparations.
Xiao Chu was calm and asked Sikong about his feelings.
"What's your plan?"
After showing off perfectly in front of Ye Xiaoman, he didn't forget to step on his rival.
The two hosts on duty were about to reach the portal when they paused for a moment.
Sikong Qing raised her eyes and glanced at Xiao Chujing and the two bosses with contempt.
"As the agent of Patriarch Sikong, I'm afraid you'll be so impressed by my methods that you'll kneel down and kowtow."
Sikong Qing raised his arms and clapped his hands loudly.
Two demons with deep Qi pushed the door open and walked in, holding a middle-aged man with a sallow face and a thin body in their hands like an eagle catching a chicken.
The man was dressed like a pork vendor in the market, with a black headband tied on his forehead for easy work. If he hadn't also been wearing a small golden abacus around his waist, Ye Xiaoman would never have guessed that he was a senior executive of the Huantian Chamber of Commerce.
Qin Xingshi and Wu Shisan Niang were both shocked.
"Old Tian!"
"Tian Zongheng, you..." The two of them saw that their colleague had come with the demons, and suddenly realized something terrible, "You actually colluded with the demons and betrayed the Chamber of Commerce!"
The kidnapped Tian Zongheng sat on the ground, his face more bitter than a bitter melon, and he kowtowed repeatedly with his hands, "I just became an undercover agent of the demon tribe, I was forced, ah!"
Xiao Chujing crossed his arms and looked at the roof in silence.
Ye Xiaoman was shocked: "Sikong Qing... the head of the family sent someone to feed poison to the Tian family?"
It seems that the demons have done this kind of thing a lot, kidnapping and poisoning, the whole process is smooth and flowing.
Sikong Qing was afraid that Ye Xiaoman would be angry, so he raised his voice slightly and defended himself, "There's nothing we can do right now. We can only use extreme measures."
He turned around, put on a domineering look, and arrogantly ordered Tian Zongheng.
"Your life is in my hands now. If you don't accomplish my mission by this time tomorrow night, you will die from the poison."
Ye Xiaoman felt it was poisonous, this scene seemed familiar.
Sikong Qing was too lazy to rack his brains like Xiao Chujing.
That is something only lowly people need to do. As a person in a high position, he only needs to find the key people in charge and intimidate them, and the people below will naturally find a way to get things done.
To deal with Qing Yuanhu, we just need to tie up a few chess pieces that can defeat Qing Yuanhu.
The two demons in charge of the kidnapping looked at Wu Shisan Niang coldly.
"Mr. Wu, were you drinking wine in the brothel just now? Humph, you're lucky you're quick on your feet, or you'd be next."
Wu Shisanniang and Qin Xingshi shuddered together.
Qin Xingshi silently took a step back and said, "We just wanted to gather five signatures to open the library early. Old Tian's arrival is just right. Let him be the third one."
The three owners left together.
Because Sikong Qing's way of breaking the deadlock was so cool, no one in the room spoke first for a while.
Except for Si Kongqing who was smug and kept showing off to Ye Xiaoman: "Look, I'm pretty good. If I continue to implement my plan, I can easily catch three people by midnight."
"It costs nothing."
The implication was that he was very disdainful of Xiao Chujing's plan of having to spend two treasures.
Ye Xiaoman was almost led astray by Sikong Qing. After thinking carefully, she decided that Xiao Chujing's method was more life-saving. If she followed the demons and fought against the demons, she might be killed on the road one day.
She actually thought of a backup plan.
She is already one of the ten domain ghost kings and can use the business rights of her territory to negotiate with the Huantian Chamber of Commerce. The black ore in the ghost world is a special ore for maintaining magic circles and is the hard currency of the six realms. The Huantian Chamber of Commerce must be happy to cooperate with her to develop the business.
However, this plan carries the risk of exposing her true identity, and she would also have to give up a large portion of her interests.
She thought about Xiao Chujing's method and found it basically correct, so she decided to cooperate with the bosses first.
Yue Mushan watched the whole process from the side, his claws resting uneasily on Ye Xiaoman's arm. He felt extremely threatened.
"Sister, Brother Xiao and Brother Sikong are both very smart, unlike me who is dumb and knows nothing. I can only continue to seek help from my family."
"It's okay, Amu." Ye Xiaoman comforted him, "Your battlefield is on the bed."
In order to cope with the difficult challenges tomorrow, Ye Xiaoman went to bed early tonight.
Things were going a little too smoothly, and she felt inexplicably uneasy.
Before going to bed, she told Sikong Qing and Xiao Chujing about her worries.
【From what his colleagues have described, Qing Yuanhu is a rather difficult person to deal with.】
[Five owners suddenly requested early inventory checks, all at the same time, right at the same time as someone was urgently looking to purchase Water Spirit Pearls. I think this might have aroused Qing Yuanhu's suspicion.]
【Tomorrow will definitely not be a peaceful day.】
When Xiao Chujing received the message, he was washing up in his room. The white cat was curled up on the cushion of the chair, staring at him coldly with its green gem eyes.
Xiao Chujing lifted the wooden board of the window and saw several furtive figures downstairs in the inn, staring at the room where Qing Zhengzong and his party were staying.
[Don't be afraid, Brother will make things go smoothly.]
