The Yue Opera Troupe has an old tradition, on New Year's Eve at noon they have to eat a reunion dinner. Liu Qingqing is the de facto boss of the troupe and even if she is busy, she must attend. Then in the afternoon, they will rehearse and in the evening, they will present a wonderful special performance for Yue Opera fans.

  Huang Ying is a super drama fan and skipped lunch to accompany Liu Qingqing.

  The rest of them, after having lunch with Xiang Tianliang and taking a short break, set out under his command.

  Spread out a diagram of the internal structure of the house towards the sky, stared at it for a while with rapt attention, and then a wicked smile hung from the corner of his mouth.

  Zhu Qin saw through it a bit, "Xiao Xiang, you put such an important thing at home, but what's on display is the Empty City Stratagem."

  "Haha, I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, but I'm afraid they'll remember me. These days have been enough for me. Tonight, I'll set up an empty city plan. Whoever has the skills and guts can come and steal if they dare."

  "When it's daylight, what if Wan Yi really gets stolen? What should we do?" Ye Nang was worried. She and Li Ya Juan understood Tian Liang's situation in the Construction Bureau. Once those things were lost, several deputy directors could completely ignore Tian Liang, and Yu Fei Long could even directly counterattack.

  Xiang Tianliang shook his head and said firmly, "One person hides, a thousand people seek. They want to find what I'm hiding, but with just two of them, it's probably not enough. Don't worry, everything will be done according to my instructions."

  "He brought over another diagram. 'Everyone take a close look, we need to set up all the messaging mechanisms strictly according to this diagram within two hours.'"

  This picture cost Tianliang a lot of effort, based on the Qimen Bagua he learned from his uncle when he was young, combined with the current environment.

  As for the things to set up the agency, they were all ready before dawn. The study was packed full, and there were thirty rat traps on the floor alone.

  In this regard, Li Yajuan showed her talent and became a half-master, directing Zhu Qin and Ye Nan to get started.

  The crucial and critical moment, towards dawn, he would personally take action, Jiang Yuying as his assistant, continuously bringing him the things he needed from the study.

  Everything was ready, Zhu Qin, Jiang Yuying and Ye Nan left first. According to the plan, they went to Xianhe Mountain Villa first, had dinner on New Year's Eve, and then rushed to the Municipal Theater for assembly.

  Li Yajuan smiled and said: "Xiao Xiang, it seems that you are still not quite at ease with them."

  "Yes, I completely trust only you and Sister Liu."

  The slanting sun was like blood, the soft light was like a warm glow. He sat on the steps, facing the sky, narrowing his eyes to gaze at the setting sun in the west.

  "Why? At least I didn't see any flaws."

  Xiang Tian Liang said, "Ye Nan actually wants to be good friends with me, pure and simple, doesn't want to get involved in trouble, and won't necessarily wholeheartedly support what we're doing now. Of course, she also won't do anything to betray us. Your sister-in-law Jiang Yuqin is passionate and impulsive, but completely self-centered, without a fixed goal. If I didn't pull her in, who knows, she might sell us out. It's not like we actively pulled her in for the 500,000 price tag, which would be enough to make her sell us out."

  Li Yajuan nodded, "You two have analyzed it quite thoroughly, so what about the returned overseas couple?"

  "I still haven't figured out what they're after."

  "Hehe, they must have taken a liking to you."

  "Hehe, maybe, but I'm very suspicious that they have some other ulterior motive."

  He stood up towards the sky and carried Li Yajuan back to the living room.

  "Now, only this long sofa is safe."

  Two people fell onto the sofa together, kissing each other.

  Li Yajuan's breathing quickened, "Xiao Xiang, now... can it be done now?"

  "What... what's 'now okay'?" Tian Liang asked with a bad tone.

  "You're dead!" Li Ya Juan twisted Tian Liang's arm and actively withdrew her body, her face red with anger. "Later on, you'll be the one to disappoint me."

  "Li Jie, you can just wait for a miracle to happen."

  The wall clock struck three o'clock with a dong dong sound.

  "Xiao Xiang, you've carefully laid out this plan, will they come?"

  "Pointing outside with a smile, 'Don't believe me? Go take a look. They've all arrived, those who should and shouldn't have come.'"

  "That's to say, they know you've set a trap and you also know they'll definitely come, so it's all tacitly understood?"

  He nodded and said to Tian Liang, "That's right, they must come."

  He stood up and continued: "As for the four deputy directors of our Construction Bureau, whoever gets it will take the initiative and almost become the new director. Old Director Lao Chenggui wants to keep his late virtue and retire safely, he must come to get what belongs to him. Xie Zixiang wants to continue being the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, at least five bank deposit slips must be taken back. And Guo Qijun, the director of Qinghe District Branch, dreams of overthrowing Xie Zixiang, how can he let go of such a good opportunity?"

  Li Yajuan smiled and said: "There is also Zhang Haifeng, the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee."

  "Yes, if the old director's notebook falls into his hands, those corrupt people will quickly turn to him and his position as the third-in-command will be secured."

  Li Ya-jun said: "We still can't afford to pay for your senior Yu Zhong-hao."

  Tian Liang listened and slowly shook his head, his face turning solemn.

  "I least want him to get these things."

  "Why?"

  "He's too upright, he'll make the Qinghe political scene a mess, and at the same time, the flames of justice will also burn him alive... In short, he doesn't understand politics, only has justice in his eyes, such people are not popular now."

  Li Yajuan pouted and said, "You're even more capable than Yu Zhonghao, no wonder Master Xu said you're very suitable for politics."

  "Sister flattering brother, cheesy or not?"

  Xiang Tianliang smiled and reached out to grab a handful of Li Yajuan's chest.

  Li Ya-jun did not shy away from it either, but instead enjoyed it very much. As the saying goes, "men are not bad, women do not love".

  "We should go."

  Two people went out and closed the door, came to a small street, walking freely.

  Looking around, Li Yajuan whispered: "It seems like they're all uninvited guests. Little Xiang, aren't you afraid that they'll come in right now?"

  "Heh heh, I reckon they don't dare to, because they all want to get something, but also don't want others to know that it was them who took the thing away, so they can only act when there is no sunlight."

  Two people hailed a rickshaw and went away leisurely.

  They were going to the city theater.

  The good show tonight will start there.

  This will be a special New Year's Eve for Xiang Tianliang, marking one of the most important milestones in his life.

  A swarm of demons dance wildly, right and wrong are hard to distinguish, towards the bright sky, where should one go and where should one follow.

  Will his carefully laid plans lead to success?
