She returned with her loot in less than five minutes.

Nangong Wu didn't go to find Bei Chenyan, but went directly to the third target.

"Master, the things we just collected from that warehouse were all gold and silver, and many rare treasures!" Aiqi shouted excitedly in the space.

Eileen added, "This Zeng fellow truly lives up to his reputation as a local tyrant; he's a master at amassing wealth. With this fortune, we could build half of the imperial city."

"Who told them to be so greedy? They charged each person entering the city two taels of silver. That Zeng fellow was really audacious. In the end, it all benefited us. From now on, let's take from the people and use it for the people." Aiqi said as she counted the gold and silver jewelry and then categorized them.

Hearing their words, Nangong Wu couldn't help but smile. "As long as it can be exchanged for money, it's fine."

"It's definitely possible. We can at least build half of our imperial city and support 500,000 people for several decades," Eileen said.

[There are a few more places; we'll take them all away tonight.] Nangong Wu activated the detector and confirmed the locations.

This courtyard seems to belong to the male owner, and it is surrounded not only by secret guards but also by several other bodyguards.

Seeing that she hadn't startled the guards, Nangong Wu didn't bother with them and instead sneaked into the courtyard.

There were no lights in the main room, and four servants were guarding the courtyard, dozing off against the pillars by the door.

In this situation, it's best to take your valuables.

About half an hour later, she came out and left quickly.

"Nangong Wu." Bei Chenyan came to her side.

Nangong Wu turned her head and saw that he was actually carrying a person in his hand.

"Let's go into space first and talk about it," Bei Chenyan said.

Nangong Wu didn't ask any further questions and led them directly into the space.

Bei Chenyan dropped the person he was holding.

"Who is he?" Nangong Wu sized up the man. He was in his early twenties, dressed in expensive fabrics, and his breath reeked of alcohol.

Her brows furrowed involuntarily.

"I heard the guards call him the Second Young Master. He was drunk and had someone bring him back to sleep, so I brought him here." After saying that, Bei Chenyan went to fetch a basin of cold water and splashed it on the man.

But this person was so drunk that he slept like a dead pig, completely still.

"I'll give him an injection." Eileen took a syringe and a bottle of medicine from the medicine box. "After this injection, even if he's drunk, he'll wake up."

Aiqi glanced at the medicine and said, "If you give him this kind of injection, he won't live for more than ten hours."

"The Zeng family has committed numerous evils and deserves to die. Let them die with some value," Eileen said as she walked over with a syringe.

"That makes sense." Aiqi took a dagger and cut open the sleeve of the person on the ground so that she could give him an injection.

Two minutes after Eileen finished hitting him, the person on the ground indeed woke up. Opening his groggy eyes, he found himself lying on the ground and sat up with a start. "Who dares to leave me on the ground?"

When he saw the unfamiliar people and things around him, he was immediately shocked, and the alcohol sobered up considerably.

Who are you?

"You don't need to know who we are. If you want to live, answer our questions truthfully," Bei Chenyan said.

"So it was you who captured me?" The man stood up, pointing at Bei Chenyan. "Boy, do you know who I am? How dare you touch me..."

"That's really arrogant!" Eileen kicked the man hard behind the knee.

"Ah!" The man knelt down in pain, glaring at them with a vicious look. "No matter who you are, if you dare to touch me, you're dead."

"Of course you are Zeng Guanhai's second son born out of wedlock, Zeng Yu, and also Zeng Guanhai's most beloved son. Otherwise, why would we capture you?" Bei Chenyan sneered.

"Arrest me? What do you want?" Zeng Yu's small eyes sized him up. "Who exactly are you? Since you know who I am, you still dare to touch me. Aren't you afraid of losing your place in the underworld if you offend the Zeng family?"

"Miss Ai, it doesn't matter if you tell him who I am," Bei Chenyan said coldly.

"Fine." Eileen grabbed Zeng Yu's hair and turned his face toward Bei Chenyan. "You dog of a man, you'd better listen carefully. This is the Crown Prince of Nanqi Kingdom."

"The Crown Prince of Nanqi..." Zeng Yu's expression changed as expected, but he quickly regained his composure. "So you are the Crown Prince of Nanqi, Bei Chenyan. My Zeng family has no enmity with your Nanqi Kingdom, so why have you come to the Zeng family..."

"Slap!" Eileen slapped him across the face. "Enough with the nonsense, you're asking for it!"

She pulled hard, turning Zeng Yu's face back to Nangong Wu, "And this one, is the former Princess Runing of the Western Yan Kingdom."

"Princess Runing." Zeng Yu exclaimed in shock.

"So if you don't want to die, you'd better answer whatever we ask." Eileen picked up a gun from the table and pressed the muzzle against Zeng Yu's forehead.

"Otherwise, with just a flick of my finger, a bloody hole will appear in your head, and I'll blow up your Zeng family mansion."

"What do you want to ask? I can tell you anything I know." Zeng Yu finally became afraid when she saw the lump of iron in her hand.

In this world, few people are not afraid of Princess Nangong Wu of Runing.

Eileen only let go of him when she saw that he had behaved.

"Who are the guests Zeng Guanhai is hosting tonight?" Bei Chenyan asked.

"They are all from martial arts sects; there are absolutely no people from the Southern Qi Kingdom's court," Zeng Yu said.

"Is Lingyangzi from Changyang Temple there?" Eileen asked.

"Ling Yangzi came to Taigu Town a couple of days ago, but he didn't come into our Zeng residence. Father went to Fulai Inn to see him."

"Is it just Ling Yangzi alone? Has he seen Jing Wang Beichen Zhan? Does your Zeng family have any business dealings with the Serpent Spirit?" Eileen asked again.

Zeng Yu hesitated for a moment, then said, "No..."

"You're lying." Eileen saw the flicker in his eyes and knew he wasn't telling the truth.

"If you're not going to tell the truth, then you're worthless." Nangong Wu took out a dagger and fiddled with it in her hand.

Zeng Yu panicked and hurriedly said, "I said, don't kill me! Father has dealings with the Snake Spirit Association and is there to deal with those who don't obey on behalf of our Zeng family."

My father and elder brother handle most of the important matters at home; that's all I know. Princess Runing, please forgive me!

"You don't know?" Bei Chenyan sneered, "Who in Taigu Town doesn't know that Zeng Guanhai dotes on you the most?"

"Father does like me, but my elder brother is the eldest son. Father values ​​my elder brother the most and entrusts him with all the important matters. Father usually just gives me some money to spend and never lets me touch the core assets of the family."

"How much do you know about that treasure map?" Eileen asked again.

"What treasure map? All the ones circulating in the martial arts world are fake. If there really were a treasure map, the treasures in the mountains would have been dug up long ago," Zeng Yu said.

Bei Chenyan glanced at Eileen.

Eileen understood and struck Zeng Yu on the back of the neck with a knife, knocking him unconscious.
