Honey, you didn’t really drugged me, did you?

Chapter 587: Chapter 181 Nan Batian: What? I’m the Villain? (10,000 Words for Monthly Pass)_2

“You’re not feeling guilty, so you came to steal the secret letter?”

“So he just wants to see us make fools of ourselves, and now the key thing is that he hasn’t yet reported to Darugachi. He’s waiting for our reaction. As soon as we make a move, I estimate he will immediately inform Darugachi Mansion, putting us at a disadvantage.”

Upon hearing this, Nan Batian and Qin Ying frowned in unison, “This Chen Jiusi is truly despicable and sinister!”

Tang Ziyue said, “So now the choice is in our hands. Do we take a gamble and search for this secret letter, or do we leave it to fate and let the secret letter be intercepted by Yelu Mansion?”

Qin Ying frowned at this moment and said, “Mr. Tang, isn’t this gamble too risky? If we can’t find the secret letter and get caught by Yelu Mansion, wouldn’t we be at a loss for words?”

Tang Ziyue responded, “That’s why we have to gamble. Moreover, I have calculated that from our departure to Yelu Mansion getting the news, with just a slight delay, we have at most two quarters of an hour. If we can find the secret letter and leave within two quarters of an hour, everything will be fine.”

Nan Batian, hearing this, narrowed his eyes, “Two quarters of an hour!”

Nan Batian fell into deep thought; indeed, the time was short, but should he take the gamble?

If they were quick, Nan Batian felt that one quarter of an hour would suffice. Two quarters of an hour. At this, Nan Batian looked at Tang Ziyue and said, “Mr. Tang, what do you think if we only search inside for one quarter of an hour? After one quarter of an hour, we flee. Maybe we will be lucky and find it.”

“If we can’t find it, we can leave early without being discovered. Do you think that’s feasible?”

Tang Ziyue, after hearing this, said, “Gang Leader’s suggestion is indeed viable, but Chen Jiusi set up this scheme, and he cannot let us break it so easily. I’m afraid he has a backup plan!”

Nan Batian said, “Decisive and swift action?”

Tang Ziyue affirmed, “That could work. Then let’s take a gamble.”

“Take a gamble!”

Nan Batian spoke up, and Tang Ziyue nodded, “Alright, since we’re going to gamble, let’s do it. However, Gang Leader, this matter must be kept secret, and we should send an expert to search.”

After hearing this, Nan Batian looked at Tang Ziyue and said, “I will go myself.”

“No, Gang Leader, you cannot go. If you were to be caught, it would be incredibly difficult to clear things up. I think it’s better to send Master Qin and his three brothers. They all possess Energy Transformation abilities, can walk on walls, and are better at avoiding people, which would reduce the risk of problems.”

Nan Batian, hearing this, glanced at Qin Ying and said, “Qin Ying, are you up for it?”

“Gang Leader, rest assured, we three brothers will definitely handle this beautifully and find that fabricated secret letter before Yelu Mansion reacts, thwarting Chen Jiusi’s plan.”

Nan Batian said, “Good, if this succeeds, I will reward you handsomely when you return.”

“Thank you, Lord!”

Qin Ying immediately saluted, and upon hearing this, Nan Batian turned his head towards Tang Ziyue and said, “Mr. Tang, anything else you want to instruct?”

Tang Ziyue replied, “Nothing more. I’ll leave this matter to Master Qin.”

Qin Ying affirmed, “Don’t worry.”

After finishing, Qin Ying said, “I’ll go now, and settle things before Chen Jiusi can react.”

After hearing this, Tang Ziyue wanted to speak but hesitated and ended up saying nothing. Qin Ying then turned around and left with his two brothers, the Tiger and Leopard.

Watching them leave,

Nan Batian asked, “What were you about to say just now?”

Tang Ziyue said, “I have a question: how did Chen Jiusi manage to forge a secret letter from you to the Zoroastrian Sect? If he had an ordinary person imitate your handwriting, it would surely be detectable. Doesn’t Chen Jiusi know this?”

Nan Batian was also taken aback and said to Tang Ziyue, “What do you mean? If he’s not forging it, what else can he do? I’ve never actually written any secret letter to collude with the Zoroastrian Sect.”

Tang Ziyue said, “I just feel like things can’t be that simple.”

…

Qin Ying and his brothers left the Fishing Guild Headquarters and upon seeing this, a watcher immediately stationed outside the Fishing Guild said, “Quick, go inform Master Hu, we can take action now.”

Upon hearing this, the person vanished.

Meanwhile, Chen Xiaohu was drinking with a man from the Mulan people. This Mulan man was Deputy Commander under Qimu Ge, who was fond of drinking and gambling and had accumulated a large debt at the casino last time. Chen Xiaohu happened to see it and settled the tab for him.

Then, he struck up a relationship with the Deputy Commander, and even Chen Jie expressed admiration for Chen Xiaohu’s quick-wittedness in an emergency – such a person was definitely worth befriending, being useful.

Wasn’t that handy now?

As Chen Xiaohu and the Deputy Commander were drinking, at that moment, a waiter came up, carrying a plate of roasted chicken and nodded at Chen Xiaohu.

Chen Xiaohu caught on and said to the Deputy Commander, “Burp~ That’s enough, we’ve drunk quite a bit already. So, how about we go try our luck with a few bets?”

The Deputy Commander replied, “I didn’t bring any money today.”

“You think you need to spend your own money? Brother, it’s on me.”

Chen Xiaohu slapped his chest as he spoke, and hearing this, the Deputy Commander smiled, “Haha, alright then, you really are a good friend, brother. Let’s not drink any more then.”

Chen Xiaohu stood up, and with a slap, he left one ingot of Silver on the table, “Keep the change.”

He acted very generously and quickly left with the Deputy Commander. At this moment, the waiter came over, looked at the Silver on the table, and said, “Master Hu sure can play the part, never seen him so generous before.”

The waiter laughed, and by this time, Chen Xiaohu was already outside leading the Deputy Commander towards East City. The Deputy Commander, puzzled, said to Chen Xiaohu, “Why are we going to East City? The gambling houses are in West City.”

“You wouldn’t know, there’s a new Baoju opened up in East City, with some fresh games to play. Let’s check it out.”
