Let’s go!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having accepted the Black Goat’s suggestion, Li Ang decided not to wait for the public carriage. He opened his wallet, counted the coins, then gritted his teeth and waved at a waiting taxi carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sir, where to?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you go along Redwood Avenue?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We do! Definitely!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Li Ang’s dusty old overcoat, the driver hesitated slightly, worried he’d soil the carriage cushions—but when he heard Li Ang planned to cross nearly half the capital, riding straight from the Old Quarter to Redwood Avenue, his face lit up with a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So what if he dirties the cushions? They’re washable. After dropping this “big client,” I can rest the whole day—plenty of time to clean the carriage later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Neigh~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang, carrying his shopping bag, ducked into the carriage. With the horse’s neigh and the boiler valve’s creak, the tiny two-seater carriage lurched forward eagerly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver, thrilled by his big fare, leaned half against the front window, smiling as he struck up conversation:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sir, there are tons of people on Redwood Avenue!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the driver’s oddly familiar opening line, Li Ang inside the carriage suddenly stiffened, and the Black Goat also seemed to recall something, jerking at the same moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn, if I remember right, when this kid encountered the Toad of the Scale Gold Cult, the carriage driver said exactly the same thing—could it be…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My auntie works as a ticket counter for the public carriages. After her first run this morning, she told me some huge figure went missing—there are people everywhere on Redwood Street!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sharing this fresh gossip, the driver glanced in the rearview mirror and noticed Li Ang’s face had gone rigid—he froze slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This big client seems like the quiet type? Maybe I should shut up before he switches carriages mid-ride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the driver was about to stop talking, Li Ang, having recovered his composure, asked with a peculiar expression:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The big figure who went missing… is it from the Lyon family?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes! Exactly the Lyon family!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his “big client” finally respond, the driver sighed in relief and beamed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve read the papers these days, right? The Lyon family—uh, those gentlemen—lost over two hundred people in one night, all of them… uh…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Worthless bastards.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes! Exactly! All the dead were worthless bastards! Hahaha, you say it best.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Li Ang’s “butt” clearly sat on the side of ordinary people—and noticing his worn clothes and the dust clinging to him from the dungeon collapse—he didn’t look like someone connected to high nobility—the driver fully relaxed and launched into a full-blown tirade against the Lyon family:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That bastard family lost tons of people overnight—even the first heir was killed. Old Duke Lionheart survived, but he was so terrified he probably won’t last more than a few days.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sun Times says the old bastard picked a new little bastard to inherit the Lyon fortune, but that little bastard vanished this morning before sunrise, leaving only a note saying he’d return in a few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lyon family and their noble in-laws are now frantic searching for that little bastard—anyone who provides a lead gets five gold wheels upon verification!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lane family and their in-law nobles are now franticly searching for that little bastard—anyone who provides a verifiable lead will be given five gold wheels immediately!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing the driver’s words, Li—Little Bastard—Ang’s face darkened. He decided to switch carriages after this street, to avoid further insults—and maybe save a bit on fare by restarting the meter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he’d been unfairly scolded, learning the chaos was in the Lyon family, not his target Ma Sai’s family, Li Ang felt considerably relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything still seemed under control. If he slipped into Rose Manor, grabbed the target, and left quietly, nothing should go wrong… right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, everything still seems stable; as long as I sneak into Rose Manor, grab the target, and leave, nothing should go wrong… right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Lyon family wants to use me to contact the Scale Gold Cult? To buy the new duke’s whereabouts with money?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing the butler’s report, the old man with the rose emblem on his chest set down the financial report and frowned:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ignore them. The Scale Gold Cult doesn’t take such jobs. And the Lyon family has no one left in charge! Especially after Thomas, who signed the contract on behalf of Bobby Lyon, died—our three-family alliance is null and void. From now on, reject these requests outright. Don’t bother me with them!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ignore them. The Scale Gold Cult doesn’t take jobs like this, and the Lane family has no one left with authority! Especially since Thomas, who signed the contract on behalf of Bobby Lane, is dead—our three-family alliance is null and void. From now on, reject such requests outright. Don’t bother me with them!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the old man’s order, the butler, holding a stack of letters in his left hand, nodded quickly, placed the lion-emblazoned letter into the waste bin, then opened the next one, read it swiftly, and reported:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The next is from Lord Simon. After you kidnapped Old Charles’s only daughter, Charles Department Store stabilized for a few days, but recently resumed dumping goods at low prices—and seems to have restructured its inventory, specifically discounting products that Rose Department Store specializes in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Simon writes to ask how much longer until Old Charles is dealt with. If this continues, even after seizing Lyon family shares, Rose Department Store will suffer massive losses—he’s about to pull his investment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Simon’s letter asks how much longer it will take to resolve Old Charles. If things continue like this, even if we seize the Lane family’s shares, Rose Department Store will suffer massive losses—he’s about to collapse and pull his investment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the butler’s words, the old man grew slightly irritated:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When they saw profit, they all fought to get in. Now they see losses and want to run? Is that how things work? Tell him to hold firm!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When they saw profit, they all fought to get in. Now that they see losses, they all want to pull out. Is that how the world works? Make him hold on!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? Speak!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Simon… he might really be at his limit…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Removing the financial report clipped to the letter, the butler handed it respectfully to the old man and said cautiously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I glanced at it briefly—if no new capital arrives, based on Rose Department Store’s current finances, it can only last another fifteen days.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it goes longer, not only Lord Simon, but even some within our own family—including your in-laws—will likely pull their investments.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this drags on any longer, not only Lord Simon, but even some within our own family—including several of your in-laws—will likely be unable to resist pulling their investment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifteen days…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the shocking deficit on the report, the old man’s eyebrows twitched violently, his expression shifting between fury and despair. He wanted to rage—but finally slumped back helplessly into his chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pick up the Lyon family’s letter. See how much they’re willing to pay…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pick up the Lane family's letter and see how much they're willing to pay...\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1309,"2026-06-20T03:18:28.556Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","78bc1fe3ec30b148df7e11ff0011343ba720ac99da741c1be428228988d2c59b","i-m-the-cleanup-crew-chapter-135","i-m-the-cleanup-crew-chapter-133",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-the-cleanup-crew-cover.jpg"]
