"Brother Yan, what are you talking about …" Wang Hui couldn't help but look at Lianhai Changjin for help. "Lord Lianhai, please save me. Brother Yan has gone mad …"
"Brother Yan …" Lianhai Changjin called out hesitantly. "What's going on?"
Yan Li continued indifferently, "The so-called Spirit Cat's Nine Steps is not stealing your things within nine steps, but two people. The Spirit Cat is in charge of stealing, and the Nine Steps is in charge of scouting. Although you use your father and son relationship to conceal it, I initially suspected you because of your father and son relationship. You might not understand the difference between spoiling and indulgence. "
"Secondly, all gamblers in this world, no matter what, gamble to win. No gambler would lose money on purpose. I always thought that Big Boss Gu had cast some kind of spell on Wang Xiaochuan, but when I saw her for the second time, I was sure that you were scheming against Big Boss Gu, and not her. "
"You might not have seen a real gambler." He sneered.
Wang Hui slowly stood up. The bitter smile on his face gradually turned into a bone-chilling sneer. "This is the first time someone has seen through us. I didn't expect it to be an unknown junior."
Wang Xiaochuan also slowly stood up. His flustered and exasperated expression did not change. Instead, it revealed undisguised resentment. For the sake of his teeth, this was only natural.
"Isn't it good to be alive?" he asked sinisterly.
"You said we were scheming against Big Boss Gu. What do you mean?" Wang Hui asked with a smile.
Yan Li said, "Long before you participated in the journey to the Great Desert Plains, you already knew of the existence of Big Boss Gu and the wolf-faced group. Therefore, you had Wang Xiaochuan deliberately approach them. Your initial goal should be to hide the 'Moon Soul Essence' and to put on a good show. That's why you went to the Great Desert Plains. After the Great Desert Plains trial ended, you immediately came to the Wind Cave Mansion. On the surface, you were there to earn money to ransom people, but in reality, you were secretly planning to steal the treasure. "
"But I didn't expect the Moon Soul Essence to be planted with the String Puppet."
At this moment, a group of people suddenly walked out of the city gate. Liu Letian walked out with his trademark smile. "You know that the whereabouts of the Moon Soul Essence will be found sooner or later. So, when one plan failed, another plan was devised."
"Brother Liu, did you save her?" Lianhai Changjin asked.
"No." Liu Letian shook his head.
"Then you …" Lianhai Changjin was stunned.
"Frowning won't change the current situation. I already know her background, so I'll save her sooner or later," Liu Letian said.
Behind Liu Letian were the people from the Dragon Emperor Mansion led by Wu Zhongyi.
Wu Zhongyi's face was gloomy. "I didn't know that a wanted criminal had come to Wind Cave Manor, and he's even good at investigating cases! Kid, find the Moon Soul Essence, and I can pretend that I didn't see anything. Otherwise … "
Seeing that he couldn't hide it anymore, Yan Li took off his bamboo hat and threw it aside. He continued, "You recognized me when I was exchanging gold notes at the bank. Even if you hadn't heard of someone using it to commit a crime, you would've kept an eye out for it. You should've exchanged the gold notes with the bank. Because you recognized me, you didn't do it. "
"You didn't know that someone was using it to commit a crime, so you didn't expect to attract the authorities and Lianhai Villa."
He sneered. "You just wanted to find someone to witness your 'redemption'. It didn't matter who it was. But you chose me in the end because you thought of my other use."
"What other use do you have?" Wang Hui smiled unhurriedly.
"For example, I can help you divert the authorities' attention to the Wolf Mask Cult," Yan Li said indifferently.
"What should I do?" Wang Hui smiled.
"You stole my Qiankun Bag the moment we came out of the secret passage." Yan Li said, "Your goal was to make me go back to the secret passage to find it. Then, you would inform the Dragon Emperor Mansion and expose the location of the secret passage. You would leave with him. As long as you sent the Moon Soul Essence out of the Wind Cave, you would have the chance to remove the String Puppet. But you didn't expect two things. "
"Which two things?" Wang Hui asked.
Yan Li said, "First, you didn't expect that I didn't return to the secret passage because I lost my Qiankun Bag. Second, you didn't expect the secret passage to disappear. The first one allowed me to arrive at the gambling house in advance and alert the Dragon Emperor Mansion, so I could escape successfully. The second one directly caused your plan to fail. The Dragon Emperor Mansion didn't find the secret passage. "
"Miscalculating one thing is already fatal. Miscalculating the second thing will turn your plan into a mere decoration." He sneered. "I beat you at your own game and 'kidnapped' Big Boss Gu, forcing the Wolf Mask Cult to leave the Wind Cave in advance. You thought you had the chance and immediately drove away …"
"Wait." Wang Hui said, "Even if what you said earlier was right, how could I know they were going to leave in advance?"
Yan Li smiled meaningfully and said, "You already knew this problem in your heart, didn't you?"
"Cut the crap. Where is the Moon Soul Essence?!" Wu Zhongyi said coldly. "Without the Moon Soul Essence, no one will believe you!"
"I don't know," Yan Li said indifferently.
"You don't know?" Wu Zhongyi's expression changed as he said coldly, "Then you definitely don't know what will happen to you if you play tricks on me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his two Famous Constables, Sun Xiang and Xia Houzun, surrounded Yan Li from both sides.
"You guys must be mistaken." Yan Li said indifferently, "I'm not in charge of investigating the case, nor am I in charge of retrieving the treasure. The Civet Nine Steps is right here, but you guys are surrounding me. What is the meaning of this?"
"Sir, Yan Li should be innocent." Liu Letian said, "He was the one who told me the location of the secret passage. Otherwise …"
"You actually believe the nonsense of a wanted criminal!" Wu Zhongyi roared. "It seems like you're also an accomplice!"
"Sir!" Liu Letian's expression changed slightly.
"No need to waste your time." Yan Li sneered, "No matter how brave the Civet Nine Steps is, he wouldn't dare to commit a crime alone. So, the person behind them is the Dragon King Mansion."
Liu Letian's expression darkened, "I've been hoping that the Mansion Master wasn't involved."
Wu Zhongyi's face darkened, "Liu Letian, although you're Liu Zhongtang's godson, I've always thought highly of you. I never thought that you would collude with a wanted criminal to deceive me!"
Without giving Liu Letian any chance to explain, he waved his hand and said, "Arrest them all!"
"Wait."
Right at this moment, one of the constables of the Dragon King Mansion walked out with a sneer on his face, "Wu Zhongyi, oh Wu Zhongyi. Three years ago, you put me in prison. Three years later, I finally have the chance to kill you!"
