Chapter 729: The Drug Heist Plan
The crowd speculated while waiting for Lin Tian’s explanation.
But this guy just chuckled foolishly without saying anything, putting on an act of feigned ignorance.
Lin Tian really had nothing to say. If the matter of the "Tyrant Emperor’s Record" was exposed, trouble would never stop coming.
He understood the principle of "an innocent man gets into trouble by holding a treasure."
Moreover, by listening to their conversation, Lin Tian could gain a deeper understanding of these aristocratic families.
Miaoqiu lightly coughed twice before saying, "Alright, alright. Let’s discuss this matter later; let’s first talk about the plan."
Instantly, the conference room became quiet, and everyone’s gaze focused on Miaoqiu’s face.
"Firstly, the timing of the action is set for the night before the auction. The evening defenses are relatively weak, and due to the auction, the Alliance’s manpower will be more scattered. Although there are more guards than before, the experts will be very dispersed; otherwise, with all those experts around the pharmacy, we would have almost no chance. Any questions about the timing?"
This was evidently well thought out by Miaoqiu, considering every detail meticulously.
After a two-second silence, Lin Tian asked, "How skilled are those experts compared to Wang Yi?"
Upon hearing Wang Yi’s name, many people’s faces changed slightly.
"Wang Yi has always been quite powerful, and with the Wang Family’s exclusive secret technique, he can enhance his strength significantly in a short time, which is terrifying."
Lin Tian then understood why last time at the Celestial Dragon Hotel when having a duel with Wang Yi, the old bastard, who was initially at a disadvantage, suddenly became fierce; it was because he could temporarily enhance his strength.
Speaking of short-term augmentation, Lin Tian could do it too, but the cost was too high; he’d have to lie in bed for at least half a month.
"There are about ten or so experts like that."
"Ten or so?" Lin Tian exclaimed, "And here, how many experts do we have?"
Miaoqiu pondered for a few seconds before replying, "Not even one..."
"You’re kidding me?"
"Don’t be in a hurry. Listen to me first. We are going for intelligence, not a head-on clash, so having those kinds of experts doesn’t matter," Miaoqiu said.
Lin Tian’s eyebrow arched, showing a ’If I believe you, I’m a fool’ expression. If things were as she said, then why did Miaoqiu invite him? Isn’t it because of his high combat prowess?
Under Lin Tian’s piercing gaze, Miaoqiu felt a bit embarrassed. She coughed lightly, saying, "You need to understand me a bit. You know, our Xu Family mainly focuses on Charming Skills, and those who can fight are pathetically few; otherwise, we wouldn’t have invited you. But rest assured, many people will support you then."
"How will they support me?" Lin Tian asked curiously.
"Now, let’s talk about the specific plan." Miaoqiu glanced at Mei Ruyan sitting beside her and said, "You should give everyone an introduction. She knows better than I do."
This time, even Lin Tian showed a surprised expression. Wasn’t Mei Ruyan just here to be a sidekick?
Mei Ruyan nodded, then directly said, "For this operation, just listen to me."
"What?"
"Are you kidding?"
Mei Ruyan had almost never returned to the Xu Family over the years, basically considered an outsider. She didn’t even master the most basic Charm Skill, so why should they listen to her?
This was probably the common thought in everyone’s mind.
Mei Ruyan maintained a cold face, ignoring everyone’s expressions and questions, and just opened a PowerPoint, showing it to everyone via a projector.
Mei Ruyan said, "As you can see, this is the floor plan of the pharmacy. It’s clearly marked; this pharmacy has only one door, no windows, and all the surrounding walls are embedded with special steel plates fifteen centimeters thick. With such special steel plates, it’s impossible to break in without seven or eight hits from a tank."
"There are four guards on each side of the door. In addition, there are eighteen cameras and an alarm system. Patrol teams composed of peripheral members of various aristocratic families patrol back and forth, switching every four hours, with only a two-minute gap in between. So we have a lot to do during those two minutes."
"Next to the pharmacy is where the experts from various families reside. As experts, these people are very sensitive. If we accidentally make a big move, we might get discovered. By then, I don’t need to explain how serious the consequences will be."
Lin Tian swallowed hard. Is this still a pharmacy? Even a bank vault isn’t as heavily guarded, right?
This reminded Lin Tian of the last time they stole national treasures from the Cultural Building; this time, it surpassed that. Last time, it was armed Sakula Country people; this time, it’s ancient martial arts experts.
Just how strong they are, Lin Tian had no idea, but their numerical advantage was enough to crush him.
What the hell is he going for?
If not for Liou Qingcheng, he would have already considered slipping away.
He had imagined this would be difficult but didn’t expect it to be so hard.
In the room, not only Lin Tian’s face was severe, everyone else was too. This attempt to steal the medicine almost seemed hopeless.
The atmosphere instantly became much heavier.
Mei Ruyan continued, "We can find someone to hack the dozen or so cameras. For those experts and guards, using the Charm Skill to control them, what are you afraid of?"
As soon as Mei Ruyan finished, it aroused public anger.
"You make it sound so easy! Not to mention the experts, with those guards being so many, how can we control them!"
"Exactly, furthermore, the higher the experts’ cultivation, the more profound the skill required; we simply can’t do it!"
"There’s even a risk of backlash, isn’t that just seeking death?"
Hearing the complaints, Miaoqiu patted the table and said, "Stop talking, let’s continue listening to Ruyan."
With Miaoqiu holding the ground, everyone soon quieted down again.
Mei Ruyan continued, "The introduction of the situation around the pharmacy is complete, now let me talk about how to use your Charm Skill. Although I didn’t stay within the Xu Family, I know the Xu Family has an array called ’Fox Words to Confuse the Crowd.’ Once deployed, everyone within this range, as long as they haven’t taken the antidote, will be controlled. Although it can’t completely control those experts, it can slow down their senses and movement speed."
"Tch, how can ’Fox Words to Confuse the Crowd’ be used at will? Not to mention anything else, just the materials for the big array are hard to gather, and besides, there’s no one who can serve as the array core, without the core it’s no different from a display."
Miaoqiu smiled slightly and said, "This plan has been prepared for a long time, so naturally the materials have been gathered long ago. As for the array core, a candidate has already been selected."
