"This is strange," Chu Tang muttered thoughtfully.
"I thought so too. I wanted to investigate further, but I was discovered and had to retreat to report," Mu Xiao explained, eager to make a significant contribution to save his own life.
"I'll handle the rest. You go and rest," Chu Tang dismissed Mu Xiao with a wave of his hand.
Mu Xiao left.
Chu Tang waited until nightfall, then sneaked into the Wen residence. To his surprise, he witnessed a scene of unloading goods.
At the back gate of the Wen residence, many people were gathered. They unloaded sacks from carts and carried them into the warehouse.
The Wen residence didn't have many people, and the back courtyard consisted of large, empty rooms, which were now filled with goods.
After they finished unloading, Chu Tang followed the people leaving, deciding to check on the Wen residence later.
