That voice sounds so familiar!

Zhou Wanwan looked at the woman. Wasn't that Zhao Lili?

The shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "Miss Zhao, there are 12 shops left in total. We just took 7, and he said he'd take 5 more."

Zhao Lili scoffed and said, "Then I'll take all seven shops, and the remaining five as well."

"But they've already paid."

Zhao Lili looked at him and said, "So what if you paid? Do you even know who I am?"

She produced a plaque, and the shopkeeper's face changed drastically upon seeing it. "So it's Miss Zhao! My apologies for not recognizing you sooner!"

Zhao Lili looked at Zhou Wanwan smugly and said, "Where did this little brat come from, daring to compete with me? She's really overestimating herself."

Zhou Wanwan's lips twitched slightly, but she ignored it and turned to leave.

Zhao Lili snorted coldly and said, "What should these twelve shops do? Weapons, medicine, silk, grain, restaurants—you can make money doing any of them."

Zhou Wanwan walked around the street for a while, and the Old Scholar Tree said, "Wanwan, what do we do now?"

Zhou Wanwan said, "Let's go back first! As for Zhao Lili, let's find out what she's been up to lately."

After searching for a while, the Old Scholar Tree returned and said, "She is now the manager of the Border Jianghu Alliance, in charge of the Jianghu Alliance's financial affairs."

The Jianghu Alliance's finance department?

Zhou Wanwan laughed, "Where does she live now?"

The Old Scholar Tree said, "We live right here at the Jianghu Alliance's headquarters; there are 24-hour patrols here."

"Hmm, that's good. Let's do it tonight."

In the evening, Zhou Wanwan took them to the Jianghu Alliance's headquarters. No matter where the Jianghu Alliance was located, their accommodations were always exceptionally good.

Each person was assigned a detached courtyard house.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard Zhao Lili's voice. "12 shops. I'm still too late. Otherwise, all the shops would be mine."

The man beside him said, "Master, you don't need so many shops, do you? Can we manage to run them all?"

Zhao Lili sneered:

"I can't manage to run the business, but seeing that bitch today made me feel uneasy."

I had my eye on her restaurant before, but not long after, the restaurant ran into problems.

I saw her again today, and of course I wasn't going to let her get away with it.

It turns out Zhao Lili knew Zhou Wanwan. Zhou Wanwan sneered, "This Zhao Lili is really stupid!"

As the night deepened and all was quiet, Zhao Lili quickly fell asleep, and Zhou Wanwan began her work as well.

Zhao Lili is a real cash cow; the things in her warehouse alone are priceless.

And the gold and silver jewelry in her room was countless.

Take them all away.

Zhou Wanwan didn't want this house.

Because it was so conspicuous, the Jianghu Alliance had to hand over all the money they earned each day to Zhao Lili.

Zhou Wanwan took them all with her.

The next day, Zhao Lili woke up, stretched, and said, "I haven't slept this soundly in a long time. What time is it?"

She opened her eyes and found the room empty; she was lying on the muddy ground.

She yelled "Agh!" and rushed out, shouting, "Who did this?! They even ripped up the floor tiles! It's outrageous!"

She rushed to the warehouse, looked at the empty warehouse, and couldn't catch her breath, so she fainted.

When she woke up, she called everyone over. Her colleagues from the Jianghu Alliance were dumbfounded when they saw the scene before them.

"Hey! Sister Li, what happened here? Why is everything gone from the house?"

Someone looked at the muddy ground and said, "No way! All the paving stones are gone? That's unbelievable!"

"Didn't you notice? Even all the flowers and plants have been moved away! Who did this? It's completely barren!"

Zhao Lili was furious and immediately ordered people to investigate, but no matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find a single clue.

Zhao Lili stomped her feet in anger:

"Who did this? Why is it exactly the same as before?"

This person is just deliberately making things difficult for me. I had just started to have a good life, and now I have nothing left.

"Master, what do we do now?"

Zhao Lili gritted her teeth and said:

"Have the Zhao Family family plug this hole, go back to the Zhao Family, and bring over all their fiercest dogs."

I refuse to believe we can't find this person.

The Zhao Family did indeed keep a group of very fierce dogs, and these dogs were incredibly intelligent.

The dogs arrived quickly, a total of eight.

Zhao Lili said, "You guys quickly smell the aroma in here, then go find someone. If you find them, you'll get something delicious."

The dogs sniffed it, then rushed out.

Zhao Lili squinted and said, "I want to see who did this."

The dogs were running rampant in the streets, and Zhou Wanwan, having received the news, stood in the city lord's mansion watching this scene.

Zhou Wanwan said, "You still dare to come? You really don't know what's good for you."

Zhao Lili rushed over with dozens of guards, while Zhou Wanwan walked to the entrance of the city lord's mansion.

When the dogs saw Zhou Wanwan rushing over, Zhao Lili looked at her and said:

"It's you again, you brat! Nothing good ever comes from when I see you. You're a maid in the City Lord's mansion, aren't you?"

"Summon your city lord right now, or you'll be in big trouble."

Zhou Wanwan looked at her with a half-smile and said, "City Lord? I am the City Lord here."

Zhao Lili laughed heartily:

"If you were the city lord, I would be the empress. Do you think I would believe that?"

"Get your city lord out here to see me immediately."

Zhou Wanwan said helplessly, "I've already told you, I'm the city lord of Yanmen Pass. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."

Zhao Lili looked at her and said, "Why are these dogs surrounding you? You're the one who stole my things yesterday, aren't you?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said, "Stealing? So your things were stolen? Your dog likes to hang around me, how was I supposed to know?"

Zhao Lili snorted coldly and said, "Let's just barge in. I want to see what's inside the City Lord's Mansion."

Zhao Lili led a group of people into the city lord's mansion, with Zhou Wanwan following behind, looking helpless.

The dogs rushed into the yard, and Zhao Lili saw that there were still dozens of dogs in the yard.

The dogs were gnawing on meat bones. Zhou Wanwan kept some dogs, and of course, these dogs were treated quite well.

When Zhao Lili's dogs rushed in, their eyes lit up when they saw the meat bones, and they immediately started snatching them.

Zhou Wanwan said speechlessly, "No way, are you robbers? Coming to my house to steal meat bones? Have you no shame?"

Zhao Lili's lips twitched. How could she know that these stupid dogs were after a bite to eat?

Once the dogs had eaten and drunk their fill, they lay on the ground, burping contentedly, and refused to leave.

Zhao Lili was furious. "You're here to work, not to freeload! Get up and go find something!"

But the dogs completely ignored her and simply lay down and fell asleep.

Zhou Wanwan was also speechless. "Seriously, your dogs ate my dog food, you have to pay for it, right?"
