Chapter 44: Charlie the Bald

Tang An was following someone, and he was cautious all the way. At the maximum distance, at least Yang Baoguang had never seen Tang An follow someone so nervously.

Finally, in front of a separate villa, the man entered the house. Yang Baoguang whispered outside: "Tang An, who is that bald man?"

Tang An said to Yang Baoguang: "I will tell you something."

Tang An told Yang Baoguang about the bald Charlie, because just now, the one Tang An encountered on the road was Bald Charlie.

To be honest, this is something that Tang An didn't expect. Regarding the bald Charlie, he was a rich man he met at the intersection before. He hired Tang An and the others to Devon. If Tang An had not noticed something wrong and escaped halfway, he might have been taken to the Black Thorn Forest by the other party and used the terrifying mysterious man as "material".

At that time, a entourage of Bald Charlie was captured by a mysterious ghoul, and Tang An also saw it with his own eyes. Later, Bald Charlie left, but unexpectedly, the other party actually lived in Rhine Town.

Tang An still remembers that Bald Charlie called the mysterious man ‘Mr. Green’.

After listening to Tang An's story, Yang Baoguang looked frightened. Obviously, this experience was too terrifying. Moreover, this bald Charlie was not a good person. He hired innocent people and gave them to the pervert as material. The consequences of those victims can be imagined.

"Tang An, as you said, this bald man is not a good man. Let's stop provoking him and leave." Yang Baoguang obviously felt the danger.

Tang An did not move.

He was thinking about another thing. According to common sense, he should not provoke the bald Charlie, but looking at the problem from another perspective, isn’t this an opportunity for him?

What do you lack now?

Short of money.

According to normal channels, how can I get the remaining 10 gold coins?

That is almost impossible, but if you take a detour and use some special means, you may not be able to do it, such as cheating, kidnapping, stealing, and robbing.

If you can cheat Tang An, you can't rob. Now, you can't rob others, so you can only steal.

Coincidentally, Charlie, the bald man, is obviously a 'rich guy'.

This is the opportunity.

Although there will definitely be great danger, there is no risk in the wind, as the saying goes, wealth and honor are sought in danger. Tang An gradually planned this matter in his mind, thinking that there is great potential. Moreover, the bald Charlie is not a good thing, and there is no psychological burden to steal the other party’s money.

The question now is how to achieve the goal.

Bald Charlie lives in such a big house, and he can't be the only one, so there may be other people in the house. Tang An must figure out this.

"Baoguang, you go back first." Tang An said at this time, and Yang Baoguang was stunned. Tang An had no time to explain now, and Yang Baoguang had no choice but to go back, saying that he wanted to be with Tang An.

Tang An did not refuse, and the two of them hid outside the bald Charlie's villa to observe until dawn.

At the same time, Lin Zifeng did not sleep all night in the house of the great craftsman Hegrik.

He bit his fingernails, his face full of viciousness. This was the action he would subconsciously make when he was thinking about problems. However, this time, his nails were bleeding from biting and he didn't even notice it.

"I didn't expect that they could actually take out 5 gold coins as deposits. How could they get so many gold coins? This disrupted my plan, but I wouldn't even think about it. I won't let you succeed, never." Lin Zifeng murmured to himself. He decided to take the initiative. At breakfast, he asked Mr. Hegrik to ask the other party to let him study the plotter, but Mr. Hegrik obviously did not agree to this matter.

"Lin, you are laying the foundation now. You have not understood the basic engineering theories thoroughly. The structure of the plotter is very complex. It will take at least three to five years to learn relevant knowledge."

Hearing this, Lin Zifeng felt resentful and even more dissatisfied. However, he knew that he could not argue with Hegrik now. Others did not know the strength of Hegrik, a great craftsman, but he knew very well.

"Sir, I think, if I have enough gold coins, can I buy a plotter?" Lin Zifeng settled for the second best at this time, and he was forced to go straight. He originally planned to go step by step, but he didn't expect Tang An to come out halfway, and the other party paid a deposit of 5 gold coins at once. You know, he doesn't even have a single gold coins on him now. I really don't know how Tang An got the 5 gold coins.

Hegrik was obviously surprised when he heard Lin Zifeng's words.

"Lin, you are my apprentice. In the future, you can learn how to make a plotter, so why buy it? Originally, I didn't plan to sell my works, but I really need gold coins to buy some important materials recently. Well, if you can get gold coins, you don't need 20 gold coins, only half of them, I can give you the plotter." Hegrik was obviously very tolerant of his apprentice and gave him the preferential treatment he should have.

Lin Zifeng was overjoyed.

Although 10 gold coins are also a huge sum for him, it is always easier to do than 20 gold coins, and the difficulty is reduced by half.

"But the premise is that Mr. Tang was unwilling to buy it before. After all, I have signed a contract with him and I have to be trustworthy." Hegrik said with a smile.

Lin Zifeng cursed in his heart, but obviously, this gave him a chance.

Just let Tang An give up on his own initiative.

If the other party is unwilling, then Lin Zifeng will take some other measures. Thinking of this, he lowered his head to eat, but his eyes showed murderous intent.

...

After a long period of observation and surveillance, Tang An could basically confirm that there was only Bald Charlie living in this villa, because at night, there was only one room in the room with lights on, and this conclusion could be inferred from some other aspects.

For example, you can see the breakfast from the window. Charlie, bald, prepared it alone and ate it alone. If there are others here, how could the owner of this house do it himself?

With this conclusion, Tang An’s plan has gradually taken shape.

That is to lead the bald Charlie away, and then take the opportunity to enter this villa. Such a large villa, you can even get more than a dozen gold coins.

Maybe by then, not only will it be enough to buy a plotter, but it may also make a small profit.

But how to lead the bald Charlie away?

Tang An also has plans.

Although this plan is not perfect and is taking risks, it is the best way to measure it.

Tang An asked Yang Baoguang to buy the local daily newspaper in Rhine Town, then found letter paper and glue, cut out the words from the newspaper, and then pieced together a letter on the letter paper.

The content of the letter is very simple, with only one sentence, that is, "Charlie, come and find me immediately!"
