Chapter 3296 - 3297: How Do You Want to Arrange Things
After all, too many people have died this time, and those infants who were stolen—no one knows whether they’re dead or alive.
Yet their Ghost Emperor...
Forget it, there’s no point in dwelling on certain things. Since both distinguished figures from the Wuzhu Teahouse have arrived, perhaps there’s still a chance to rescue some of the Ghost Clan’s children?
The thoughts of the Ghost Emperor aren’t necessarily to be heeded; there are more important matters that require their attention.
...
A while later, they arrived in the hall and took their seats.
The minister, still with a beaming smile, greeted them. But soon, his face lost all mirth. Mentioning the numerous missing infants of the Ghost Clan, his expression turned quite unpleasant.
His own family just had a newborn, but he could still empathize with those parents who lost their children.
Especially now, with even the Ghost Emperor’s child missing, panic permeated the entire Ghost Clan. Everyone feared that they might be dragged to jail after a night’s sleep.
"Dear guests, Lord Ming heard of your visit and wanted to ask if it’s possible... to dispatch a few more ghost guards from the Ghost Palace to ensure safety?"
He asked them.
Fearing Lin Caisang and Sui Zimo might not agree, he added a remark.
"Of course, we will hide them in secrecy. They won’t be discovered. The guards sent will be specially trained to be invisible."
He stated.
"Alright."
Without a second thought, Lin Caisang nodded.
This is the Ghost Clan, and even if it’s just to respect that we’re on their turf, we cannot refuse their kind offer.
Otherwise, what if they set a trap for us? That would only invite trouble.
"However Lord Ming wishes to arrange it, so be it." she said.
"Good, good."
The minister was instantly pleased by her words.
Initially, they intended to do the same—to find a woman about to give birth and assign guards to her, hoping to catch the child-stealing culprit.
Yet previous attempts have proved futile.
The infants were still stolen away without them noticing, leading them to feel that the ghost guards were utterly useless, all show and no substance.
"Thank you both, and regarding Granny Ghost, arrangements have been made. She is from the Ghost Palace, and there certainly won’t be any issues." he added.
"Alright."
Sui Zimo responded.
Regardless of whose people they are, as long as they keep a watchful eye on the shadow woman they brought and the child in her womb, all will be well.
...
"Those two, have they really arrived?"
In the Ghost Palace, the Ghost Emperor summoned his close attendant and asked impatiently.
"Yes, Emperor, the people from the Wuzhu Teahouse have arrived. Now, Lord Ming has already sent people to that household, saying they plan to collaborate with them to catch the child-stealing perpetrator."
The attendant cautiously watched the Ghost Emperor as he spoke.
"Hmph!"
The Ghost Emperor snorted coldly.
"Do those people think they can be caught just like that?"
If it were that easy, the Ghost Clan wouldn’t have so many infants missing; it would have been peaceful long ago.
"Gui Ming, that useless fool, hasn’t been able to manage his own affairs, and now he wants to make a fool of himself in front of outsiders! What’s so remarkable about the Wuzhu Teahouse? This Emperor wants to see what results they can come up with!"
"What does Your Majesty mean..."
The attendant looked at the Ghost Emperor and hesitated, unsure how to articulate the thoughts in his mind.
