Chapter 463: Chapter 257: A New Storm has Emerged!_2”Sure, go ahead,” Jiang Shu nodded as well. His apprentice was quite diligent, which was definitely a good thing.

However, speaking of it, apprentices in this world were rarely indolent—given their often poor family circumstances, they tended to mature earlier and knew exactly what they needed.

Of course, maturing early also meant a greater chance of straying from the right path.

And Jiang Shu closed his wristwatch; it was now afternoon, approaching mealtime, and he needed to cook.

After all, he had a whole family to feed.

He walked towards the kitchen, where a fridge full of ingredients awaited his culinary creativity.

”Ding-dong—”

But suddenly, the sound of the doorbell rang, and Jiang Shu, who was just opening the refrigerator, paused, looking towards the direction of the villa’s main door in surprise.

At this moment...

Who could be visiting him?

The neighborhood committee of the villa district?

Someone checking the water meter?

A sense of alertness rose in his heart, but he still moved toward the main door.

There was a Simulated Light Screen there; the screen showed the image of a burly figure peering inside from the iron gate.

Jiang Shu: ”...”

???

Wolf!

What was he doing here?

Jiang Shu suddenly realized something very crucial.

He had thought that having Wolf Face, Ratman, and Fishmaiden, this gang of odd people lodged in his home, would be completely safe, but he had forgotten one very crucial thing.

Wolf knew the location of his house.

”Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Ding, go secure Fishmaiden upstairs and Rat King in the basement; don’t let them wander about.” Jiang Shu immediately instructed his aides and himself went out of the villa, crossing the garden to open the gate for Wolf outside the large iron door.

Of course, he could have remote-controlled the gate intelligently, but out of caution, he wanted to speak to Lang Tai and have him hide first.

Not to speak of anything else, Lang Tai’s stature was unique, and Wolf had seen the Wolf Face mask; it was hard to guarantee that Wolf wouldn’t make the connection to the Deception Group.

After all, this was no game or a dumb TV show where wearing a mask made one completely unrecognizable.

The figures of Fox, Ancient Snake, and the others were quite common; they didn’t have to worry. But Lang Tai with his over two-meter height coupled with the aura of a top-tier assassin—

A mix of calm serenity and sharpness.

Jiang Shu did not like treating others as fools; he preferred it much when they genuinely were fools.

But evidently, Police Chief Wolf was somewhat slow at times, but he was no fool.

As he passed through the garden, Jiang Shu glanced towards where Lang Tai had been cleaning his firearms earlier.

Lang Tai was no longer there; he had already packed up his things and retreated into a cabin in the garden.

He was now peeking out from the cabin.

Having been aware of Wolf at the garden gate much earlier, Lang Tai didn’t hesitate and hid immediately.

Jiang Shu signalled him with hand gestures to hide well, contact him on the wristwatch if there were issues, and to not come out yet.

Lang Tai nodded, then he burst out of the cabin and fiddled with it from outside several times.

The cabin seemed to be of a retractable design, its walls shrinking; soon, a cabin initially about ten square meters shrunk to roughly four square meters.

Lang Tai then hoisted up his cabin, lifting it over his shoulder as if he were Hercules himself.

He ran off...

From the back gate of the Flower Garden...

”...?” Jiang Shu was slightly agape as he watched Lang Tai scamper away with quick, light steps, suddenly unsure what to say.

Just damn ran off, carrying his home like a snail carrying its shell...

No wonder this guy absolutely refused to stay inside the villa; Jiang Shu had thought it was genuinely for safety reasons, but now it looked clear—it was simply because he couldn’t move it easily, right?

Just like Lang Tai, doing the unimaginable that Jiang Shu couldn’t even have dreamed of.

Inventing the trope of uprooting oneself, are you?

You’re indeed more remarkable than mere ”uprooting.”

Suddenly, Jiang Shu felt his mind inundated with quips, but he stopped thinking about it soon because Police Chief Wolf was waiting for him.

Passing through the serpentine path in the garden, Jiang Shu reached the large iron gate, opened it, and looked at Wolf behind the door, ”Why are you here? Here for a meal?”

”No, no, no, of course not, I obviously have serious matters to discuss,” retorted Wolf righteously.

”Such as?” Jiang Shu didn’t hinder the entrance, let Wolf in, and then locked the iron gate.

”Such as certain affairs about the Thirteen District.” Wolf walked while talking to him, ”There are things that aren’t convenient to discuss over the wristwatch, nor in my office.”

”How so? What’s up with the Thirteen District?” Jiang Shu found this rather odd.

Logically saying...

There shouldn’t be a place worse off than the Thirteen District, should there?

Currently, the Fifth District was in a relatively active state; after the Three Major Groups entered, seemingly to win over hearts and minds and eliminating the Fifth District Nobles’ influence, they implemented tax deductions in various sectors.

Not just tax reductions, but other beneficial policies in many aspects of life as well.

Public sentiment was stabilized quite quickly after all; the people of the Fifth District hadn’t suffered any serious losses over the week.

Except for being thrown into a state of panic.
