You Might as Well Rob Me!

Chen Ankang inspected dozens of warehouses, and every single one of them had the same situation.

He'd never encountered anything like this in all his years of investigating cases.

"What's going on? We can't find any useful clues. It's so strange."

Zhou Wanwan was different. While eating fruit and drinking milk tea, she asked, "Lord Nie, what do you think of the taste of this milk tea?"

Nie Shi'an nodded as he drank:

"Wanwan, to be honest, this milk tea is really delicious. Where did you get all these strange and wonderful things from?"

The snacks are different every day! Oh my! And your meals are absolutely amazing.

Who could blame her when Nie Shi'an was her boss?

Zhou Wanwan naturally had to treat them well; no one could escape her culinary charm.

While eating his snacks, Nie Shi'an said, "You're not worried at all? If you lose, you'll have to kowtow."

Zhou Wanwan chuckled and said, "Investigating cases is my forte; there's no case I can't solve."

Nie Shi'an rolled his eyes and looked at her, saying:

"You dare say that? Chen Ankang said something similar before, and what happened then?"

There are just too many cases that can't be solved; people are very good at disguising themselves.

Sometimes, someone who seems like an ordinary person might actually be a murderer behind the scenes; they are very good at disguising themselves.

I've solved many cases like this.

That's true. Ancient times were inferior to modern times. Modern times have technologies like DNA and fingerprint recognition.

However, even with these high-tech solutions, it's impossible to solve every case.

Many cases remain unsolved.

Moreover, in ancient times, Zhou Wanwan's most unique characteristic was her ability to communicate with plants.

These plants act like cameras, recording everything.

After finishing her snack, Zhou Wanwan said:

"I'll start by investigating the first case: the golden Buddha statue."

I'm also quite curious, who exactly is this person who could do something like this?

Nie Shi'an looked at her and said:

"It's precisely because there are no clues that it's difficult to investigate."

Alright! If you want to check, then check it! I'll let you try.

The autumn sky was high and the clouds were light, with a slight chill in the air.

State-Pacifying Temple is the most famous ancient temple in the city. Its incense is always burning brightly, and people come and go in an endless stream to offer incense and pray for blessings. The temple gate is filled with the sounds of people and the fragrance of incense.

Zhou Wanwan slowly walked into the gate of State-Pacifying Temple. As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, she saw the three Lu Family sisters walking towards her from a distance.

Lu Lan snorted coldly and said, "Zhou Wanwan, you're really like a persistent ghost!"

Zhou Wanwan looked at Lu Lan with a smile and said, "Isn't this the concubine of the Cui Family? What's she doing here?"

Lu Lan retorted angrily, "Who are you calling a concubine? I would never be Cui Hongyuan's concubine!"

Zhou Wanwan initially didn't want to pay them any attention, but Lu Zhiwei, who was standing next to her, spoke up:

"Zhou Wanwan, you're quite interesting."

Since we've both come to State-Pacifying Temple, it must mean we're destined to meet! Why don't we take a look around together?

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said, "Are we that close?"

All that could be heard was Lu Yao shouting loudly from the side:

"Zhou Wanwan, you're blind! My second sister, Lu Zhiwei, is about to enter the palace for the imperial concubine selection!"

You know she just came back from the palace, and her status is completely different now; she's a legitimate candidate for the imperial concubine selection!

My sister's entry into the palace is a foregone conclusion. No matter what rank she is given, she will at least be a concubine, a noble lady!

Who do you think you are, daring to slight her?

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said:

Why are you so agitated? She hasn't even entered the palace yet!

Even if you enter the palace, what if you're banished to the cold palace? It's better not to have entered at all!

Lu Yao was so angry she jumped up and down. "How dare you! How could you say such a thing? Guards, beat her up! I've had my eye on this bitch for a long time!"

Zhou Wanwan glanced at her indifferently and said, "Lu Yao, I don't think I know you. You seem quite hostile towards me!"

Lu Zhiwei and said:

"Alright, Yaoyao, don't be rude."

"Miss Zhou, we just wanted to invite you for a cup of tea and have a proper chat with you."

Zhou Wanwan nodded indifferently and said, "Oh? Is that so? Judging from the way your sister looks, it's like she's about to eat me alive."

Lu Zhiwei directly invited Zhou Wanwan to the guest room and said:

"Miss Zhou, please have a seat. I've heard your food delivery business is doing quite well. Would you be interested in collaborating with me?"

Moreover, the clothing, medicinal herbs, and jewelry from your Black Wind Stronghold are all very distinctive.

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said, "Work with you?"

Lu Zhiwei and said:

"Yes! I have more than a dozen shops in Beijing."

"As long as your Black Wind Stronghold is willing to supply goods, we can cooperate well."

Zhou Wanwan looked at Lu Zhiwei and said, "Miss Lu knows quite a lot."

Lu Zhiwei and said, "I know quite a lot, of course. As long as you're willing to cooperate with me, we can split the profits 20/80."

Zhou Wanwan chuckled and said, "Are you two or eight?"

Lu Zhiwei looked at her, rolling her eyes in exasperation. "Then what's the point of me making money?"

Zhou Wanwan said speechlessly, "You know you can't make money with a 20/80 split? Then what are you talking about?"

Lu Yao stomped her foot in anger. "Vulgar, so incredibly vulgar, Zhou Wanwan, you really don't know how to speak!"

Lu Zhiwei coughed and said:

"Yaoyao, stop causing trouble and go play somewhere else. We're here to discuss business!"

Zhou Wanwan, as you can see, I'm about to enter the palace. If I do, I'll naturally need money to pave the way.

If you're willing to cooperate with me, you'll become a royal merchant and have complete freedom in the capital.

I've heard your business hasn't been doing well lately. If you do business with me, I can guarantee you'll make a fortune. What do you say?

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said:

"You haven't even done anything yet, and you're already asking me to split things 20/80, meaning I get 20% and you get 80%. How can you be so shameless?"

You might as well just rob it!

Lu Zhiwei's face turned green after being scolded by Zhou Wanwan: "I could have just gone and robbed you, but I'm trying to reason with you. You'd better not be so ungrateful."

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said:

"So what if I don't know what's good for me? What are you going to do about it?"

This is utterly nonsensical.

After saying that, Zhou Wanwan took a step and left.

Once they reached the back of the mountain, she couldn't help but curse:

"This Lu Zhiwei is really interesting. I'm already being very polite by not causing her any trouble."

She's an old monster in her fifties or sixties, yet she's still so childish. Does she even speak like a human?

Zheng Xing'an looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "I really don't understand, why don't you just expose her?"

Zhou Wanwan chuckled and said:

Why expose it? It's so funny!

Lu Zhiwei is about to go to the capital. Do you know how many good things the Lu Family has given her?

I need to cheer her up so I can make my move!

And then there's Lu Yao, who's about to marry Nie Feng. I'm curious to see what Madam Nie's expression will be when she finds out the truth!
