46: 46.
A God-given Opportunity
First day of the eighth lunar month, suitable for: funerary burials, sacrifices.
At 4 a.m., as the sky was just beginning to brighten, Xiao Cha led her team of twelve to the Wang family mansion, located in the Chuyun Leased Territory.
The front yard of the mansion had been turned into a Spirit Hall, covered in white cloth everywhere, and even the servants were dressed in plain mourning attire.
A middle-aged steward came out to greet Xiao Cha and her group, his face stern and his manner indifferent:
“Everything is in order, without need for your people.
Here is some tip money from our young master, please help yourselves.”
The steward handed Xiao Cha a few silver coins, gave a nonchalant salute, and turned to leave.
Old Zhong complained in a low voice, “What the hell!
We didn’t even want to come!
Looked down upon like dogs!”
Little did the Wang family know, this was precisely what Xiao Cha had in mind.
She casually handed the silver coins to Old Zhong, saying solemnly,
“The court’s courtesy for officials must be upheld, even if the household has no use for us.
We must not neglect our duties, lest we tarnish the reputation of the Lord Chief Constable!”
Old Zhong quickly flattered her, “It’s Chief Luo who’s truly generous and thinks of the bigger picture!
Rest assured, we cannot shame you either~”
The other subordinates echoed in agreement.
Xiao Cha waved her hand, instructing, “Go, survey the surroundings!”
Everyone accepted their orders and dispersed.
This was blatant reconnaissance, and after a round, Xiao Cha had a clear understanding of the surrounding terrain.
She also took advantage of the early morning quiet to climb a large tree and observe the entire Wang mansion, memorizing its layout thoroughly.
At this moment, this police beauty, with her profound family background, had at least 800 methods of committing the act at her disposal!
“How fortunate I am!”
Starting off incredibly smoothly, Xiao Cha kept her composure and returned to the main entrance of the Spirit Hall.
One by one, her subordinates also gradually returned, casually chatting:
“The Wang family sure puts on a big show; I heard from a few servants that there’s a spiritual child to be buried sacrificially!”
“These days, anyone with the slightest capability arranges for spiritual children, treasures, Cultivation Techniques, and such for burials.”
While chatting, Old Zhong’s eyes were constantly observing the surroundings.
Suddenly, he warned,
“Chief Luo, Qin Chuan is coming!”
Qin Chuan, dressed in somber black clothes, was approaching with a carriage covered in thick black cloth.
Upon seeing Xiao Cha, he sneered, “Arrest Officer Luo better stand up straight.
Even the Governor will be sending people over to offer condolences shortly.”
After speaking, the high-spirited steward who had greeted them earlier personally came forward to take the carriage inside.
Old Zhong disdainfully said, “These utterly conscienceless scoundrels!
There must be children for the sacrificial burial inside that carriage.”
Xiao Cha measured the depth of the wheel tracks with her foot, thinking to herself,
“Loaded with at least a thousand pounds, it’s not just children!”
And inexplicably, Xiao Cha felt a wave of sorrow in her heart, an overwhelming urge to cry?
“What’s wrong with me…”
~~~~~~~~~~
At this moment, Qin Chuan drove the carriage to the rear part of the Wang Family Mansion.
The original study was covered with thick white cloth, and inside lay a massive, opulent coffin, with Wang Siqi standing guard beside it. frёewebηovel.cѳm
Together with the steward, Qin Chuan dragged down from the carriage six children, their hands and feet bound, heads covered in sacks.
The countenances of the two men were rigid, their eyes filled with terror as if avoiding something.
They hurriedly dragged the children away as if fleeing the scene.
Wang Siqi, however, approached the carriage, bowing and saying, “I am but a humble and inexperienced junior, greeting the senior before me.”
No sooner had his voice faded than a burly figure in iron armor suddenly jumped out of the carriage.
Its skin was a ghastly grey, its mouth full of sharp teeth, and its hands bore two-inch-long pitch-black nails—clearly a zombie-like creature.
Wang Siqi, however, hardly seemed to mind, casting only a brief glance before continuing to address the carriage with polite flattery.
“Senior’s Iron Armor Corpse is extraordinarily fierce; I admire it…”
Before he could finish speaking, the Iron Armor Corpse suddenly contorted its facial features and began to grunt, “Tea, Tea,” as if it had lost control.
From inside the carriage, a refined and amiable voice emerged:
“Please excuse it; my Iron Armor Corpse was resolute in life and retains a trace of lingering will.
Let’s not bother with it and get down to business first.”
There was a sound of something heavy rolling inside the carriage, as if something was about to come out.
At the same time, Wang Shouzhen pushed open the coffin lid and sat up from the casket, hoarsely instructing his son:
“Siqi, your name carries the meaning of ‘when seeing a virtuous person, one should think of equaling them.’ Today, it’s rare that a disciple from the Jiushan Sect is visiting; you must seek their advice earnestly.”

In the blink of an eye, time had reached 8 a.m.
People arriving to offer their condolences were constant, and the area around Wang’s Mansion was filled with various luxury vehicles, rickshaws, and sedans.
Some took the opportunity to socialize, and with musicians playing mournful music, the scene became somewhat noisy.
Lu Li’s arrival went completely unnoticed.
He was wearing a changshan, appearing exceptionally cultured and elegant, but he walked with an unusual limp, obviously because he had hidden something.
Lu Li also contributed a hundred silver coins for the white gold mourning ribbon, hoping for a substantial return.
Then, he naturally made his way to Xiao Cha.
A group of patrol officers didn’t dare to disturb them and quickly ran off.
Xiao Cha said, “That outfit suits you well…
Did you bring the gun?”
Lu Li nodded, “It’s strapped to my leg.
What’s the plan?”
Xiao Cha spoke with a serious expression:
“Many dignitaries are here to offer their condolences today.
The Wang uncles hosting in the Spirit Hall also have significant Martial Arts Cultivation.
Aren’t you afraid?”
Lu Li chuckled lightly, “If you’re not afraid, I’m not either.”
“I wouldn’t be afraid at such a great opportunity!”
Xiao Cha, with widened eyes, said:
“Did you hear the dirge?
The suona will play soon; when that instrument sounds, that’s our cue to act!”
With professional planning, Lu Li felt at ease; what followed was simply waiting.
However, an unexpected event occurred at this moment.
Suddenly, the crowd surged towards one place.
Xiao Cha stood on tiptoe for a look, and her expression changed:
“The Governor has indeed sent someone, and it’s Miss Jiang!”
A girl in brocade, looking about fifteen or sixteen and surrounded by numerous followers, arrived to pay her respects.
She had skin like creamy jade, a very beautiful appearance, but with a hint of youthfulness.
Yet her gaze was as cold as ice, an indifferent look as if gazing down at ants from high above!
Xiao Cha whispered, “That’s Governor’s daughter, Jiang Haiyan!
At just 15, she has the Martial Arts Cultivation of Blood Exchange and can withstand our weapons with her bare body!”
Lu Li inquired, “What realm is Blood Exchange?
It ignores firearms?”
Xiao Cha explained, “I’m currently at Refining Internal Organs.
After that is Marrow Cleansing, and below that is Blood Exchange.
In this realm, one’s bones are like fine steel, and ordinary bullets can only break the skin.”
Lu Li nodded slightly, thinking to himself: I need to get my hands on some more powerful weapons for self-defense.
At this moment, as the Governor’s daughter’s entourage drew closer, all the notable figures present gathered to flatter her.
Even the several uncles from the Wang family in the Spirit Hall came out with smiling faces to welcome her at the entrance.
This girl became the focus of the entire scene, attracting all the attention!
And the musician also lifted the suona, took a deep breath, and was about to start playing…
“Now is the time!”
Xiao Cha said excitedly, “A God-given opportunity, let’s go!”
