After disposing of them, he would come back to get more and continue the process...
As if... discarding "trash."
Plus, it seemed like he had been doing this for quite some time.
Mo Hua, eating some pine nuts, leaned close to Gu Changhuai, asking in a low voice as if gossiping,
"Uncle Gu, is he... disposing of the stolen goods?"
Destroying the stolen goods...
Gu Changhuai's gaze sharpened, "Possibly..."
"Should we... capture him now and seize both him and the goods?"
Gu Changhuai shook his head.
"He has been disposing of the stolen goods for a while now, clearly there is a lot, we should not act rashly..."
"Catching him rashly may alert him."
"If there are still minions or spies of the Fire Buddha nearby, once we act, we will be detected..."
"We must wait for an opportunity to capture him quietly, out of sight..."
Mo Hua nodded.
Gu Changhuai seemed about to say something else, but suddenly his expression changed, and he picked up the waist token to check something briefly before putting it away again.
With sharp eyes, Mo Hua asked,
"Did you find the mole?"
Gu Changhuai looked at Mo Hua, sighing, "No..."
"No?" Mo Hua frowned, "He was released from the Taoist Prison so soon, isn't that because of a mole?"
Gu Changhuai shook his head, "He was released in accordance with the rules."
Mo Hua was surprised.
Gu Changhuai continued, "I had someone check the records..."
"This man's name is Jia Ren, he has no prior record...
The Xie family reported a theft from their vault, but they did not specify what was stolen, and nothing with the Xie family vault's mark - no Spiritual Artifacts, Pills, or Secret Manuals - was found on him..."
"There is no definitive proof of stealing."
"Regarding the Sever Gold Sect..."
"The Sever Gold Sect admitted they were mistaken; this person is not a disciple of theirs. The one who stole the Sever Gold Sect's heritage and defected from them was someone else..."
"Therefore, he's not considered a traitor of the Sever Gold Sect."
"The only charge that could be placed on him was that he acted as an 'undercover whore' in an illegally established Brothel..."
"But..."
Gu Changhuai's expression was somewhat complex, "He is also a man..."
"So the Taoist Court could only detain him for one month under the charges of 'fraud' and 'violating public morals,' and afterwards he was released..."
"What dark secrets were involved, we do not know, but at least on the surface, there were no problems..."
Mo Hua was speechless.
Is that even possible?
She glanced again at this "Jia Ren," who had worn many disguises, each time appearing different, and inwardly mocked him.
