Gu Hanchuang turned on the TV, selected a news channel, and then went to boil water and make tea. She did all this in an orderly manner, which made Xia Tian realize that Gu Hanchuang was also quite familiar with modern life; at least she should have basically adapted to modern society. If others didn't know her true origin, they definitely wouldn't guess that she was half a person from ancient times.

Watching Gu Hanchuang's every move, Xia Tian liked her even more the longer he watched. This maid was truly excellent; even when brewing tea, her movements were very graceful. Xia Tian also grew increasingly impressed with himself; originally, it had just been a whim to take Gu Hanchuang on as his maid, but in the end, it gave him the most beautiful and perfect maid in the world.

"Young Master, please have some tea," Gu Hanchuang finally brewed a cup of tea and brought it over to Xia Tian.

Xia Tian took the tea, sipped it, and was just about to say something when he heard Gu Hanchuang suddenly exclaim in surprise: "Ah!"

"Xiaomeng, what's wrong" Xia Tian was very puzzled; this little frost maid had always remained calm no matter what happened. Now that she was simply brewing a cup of tea for him, why did she suddenly let out such an alarmed scream If she really wanted to shout like that, shouldn't she wait a bit

While wondering about this, Xia Tian also muttered to himself: This little frost maid's voice is actually very pleasant; it can rival that of his big fox wife. He just doesn't know if she’s as enthusiastic in bed as the big fox wife.

"Young Master, look quickly!" Gu Hanchuang pointed at the TV with a somewhat urgent tone.

"That's just the TV, what's wrong" Xia Tian was even more puzzled. The TV was turned on by Gu Hanchuang herself; why did she now act so surprised, as if she had never seen a television before

"Young Master, it’s not about the TV, but that person in the news, you see him, don’t you" Gu Hanchuang said anxiously.

Xia Tian took another careful look at the news and found out that it was reporting on a robbery of a cash-in-transit vehicle. According to the report, three days ago, one such vehicle had been robbed; three million in cash were stolen from inside, and the suspect has already been identified and is now being sought for arrest. On television, photos of the suspect were also released, and the police are offering a ten-thousand-yuan reward for information.

"What’s so odd about him" Xia Tian was still somewhat puzzled. The suspect was a man who appeared to be in his forties, wearing a trench coat with messy hair; he had an average build, nothing particularly remarkable about him, just like any ordinary guy. Therefore, Xia Tian couldn't understand why Gu Hanchuang would take interest in this man.

"Young Master, I know him!" A look of anxiety and disbelief appeared on Gu Hanchuang’s beautiful face, "His name is Zhuge Wentian, he's the cultivator in Shu Capital City. But shouldn't he be at Qingcheng Mountain Why would he come down to rob a cash-in-transit vehicle"

Xia Tian was momentarily stunned: "Zhuge Wentian His name sounds strange!"

"Young Master, he wasn't originally named this. Later on, he said that he vowed to cultivate and ascend to immortality and asked heaven to change his name." Gu Hanshu slightly calmed down, "But how could someone who is a cultivator end up resorting to robbing others"

"It's no big deal, Han丫頭 (this term of endearment doesn't have an exact translation but can be understood as 'Han Little Miss'), didn't you kidnap my wife before" Xia Tian casually said.

Gu Hanshu opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but then closed it again. She fell silent and did not speak anymore. At this moment, the news on TV had already switched to other content.

Xia Tian slowly finished the cup of tea Gu Hanshu had prepared for him, put down the teacup, and then spoke up again: "Han丫頭 (Han Little Miss), do you want to look for that guy named Zhuge Wentian"

"Young Master, I'm not sure whether I should look for him or not," Gu Hanshu hesitated before answering.

"Mm-hmm, so you still have some desire to find him. Then go ahead and look for him." Xia Tian immediately made the decision for Gu Hanshu.

Actually, he had heard of Zhuge Wentian's name from Yuan Tianzheng before, but he didn't know what Zhuge Wentian looked like previously.

Originally, he had planned to first eat this pretty maidservant and then deal with Zhuge Wentiān. Who would have thought that this guy suddenly turned into a robber and was now being hunted by the police What's more, Gu Hanchuang actually saw the warrant for his arrest. Although she used to be indifferent about most things, she seemed to have become somewhat unstable.

This made Xiàtiān unhappy. He finally noticed something: It seems that what this pretty maidservant cares about the most isn't him, her master, but rather those cultivators who were with her before. Whenever something happened to them, it would affect her mood. So he decided to first deal with Zhuge Wentiān and then slowly enjoy this maidservant.

From Xiàtiān’s perspective, if the other cultivators were also like Zhuang Yundōng and Yuán Tiānzhèng, it would be better to get rid of all of them. Otherwise, they could always cause trouble. At this stage, those cultivators could still pose a threat to his wife.

"But Master, how are we going to find him" Gu Hanchuang asked softly. "Suzhou City is so big and we don't know the area at all. Finding someone would be like searching for a needle in a haystack."

"It's no problem," Xiàtiān said casually. "The police are looking for him, aren’t they We can ask them to help us find him." Although he thought those cops were useless, they knew the place better and had more people. They should be able to locate Zhuge Wentiān faster than they could. Once they found him, Xiàtiān would go catch him.

"Master, are you… going to kill Zhuge Wentiān" Gu Hanchuang asked hesitantly after a moment’s silence.

"Oh, that depends on the situation," said Xiàtiān nonchalantly. "If he listens to me, I might not kill him. If he doesn’t listen, then I'll have no choice but to deal with him. Otherwise, what if he starts robbing people everywhere" He gave himself a reasonable excuse, though in reality, his concern wasn't about Zhuge Wentiān becoming a robber. It was more that the guy might try to take advantage of his wife like Gu Hanchuang used to. That would be a big problem.

After a pause, Xia Tian added: "Frost, if you don't want that guy to die, there's actually a way; just disable his cultivation."

"But Young Master, disabling his cultivation will definitely cause him to die immediately," Gu Hany霜 said in a low voice.

"No, my young master is the best divine doctor in the world. I can make him live like an ordinary person for several decades. Um, actually, I can also make him forget all past events, even forgetting you too, Frost." Xia Tian said casually. To him, these things weren't difficult to achieve. If Gu Hany霜 didn't want other cultivators to die, he could spare their lives as well, but the premise was that those cultivators wouldn't pose a threat to him.

"Young Master, I've known them for a long time. Over the past century, I've seen each of them die one by one until only a few of us are left now. If they're all like Zhuang Yun東, I don't mind you killing them. But if they aren't that bad, I hope Young Master can spare their lives." Gu Hany霜 softly said: "If they live, at least I'll feel less lonely in this world."

"Frost, you're not alone originally; isn't there me to accompany you" Xia Tian was a bit displeased. "I have my dozens of wives who will accompany you too. It's much livelier than before."

After a pause, Xia Tian said: "Alright then, Frost, you've always been obedient. Considering how obedient you are, I'll make you happier. If you really don't want them to die, I'll let them live. Let's go to the police station now and have the police help us find the person."

"Thank you, Young Master," Gu Hany霜 looked up at Xia Tian, and in her originally lifeless eyes, there seemed to be a hint of emotion. This made her eyes appear even more beautiful.

"No need to thank me, just give me a kiss." Xia Tian casually said.

"Yes, Young Master." Gu Hanchuang seemed hesitant for a moment but still leaned in and kissed Xia Tian's cheek with her cherry lips.

"I told you that Chuang is the best!" Xia Tian was very satisfied. He stood up and pulled Gu Hanchuang towards the exit.

As they were stepping out of the door, Gu Hanchuang asked again: "Young Master, will the police help us"

"Relax, they will be obedient." Xia Tian was very confident about this. After saying that, he pulled Gu Hanchuang into the elevator and then took out his phone to make a call.

The case of robbing an armored car is considered a major one anywhere; for this case, Shu District's police department specially established a special task force, with the vice chief in charge of criminal investigation as the head. Of course, this vice chief was only nominally in charge while the actual person handling the case was Tao Zhize, the組長應翻譯為"team leader"或直接使用名字"Tao Zhize", 但為了保持一致性，我將保留原名。不過，在正式的語境中通常不會這樣提及，因此可以調整表述以符合英文的習慣：

The task force handling cases like a robbery of an armored car was headed by the vice chief responsible for criminal investigations, although Tao Zhize, who actually led the Major Cases Unit, took charge.

At the beginning of taking over this case, after investigating for a while, Tao Zhize thought that although it was a significant case, it wasn’t particularly difficult. From the current evidence available, the robbers' counter-investigation skills were quite weak; and he also easily found photos of the robbers. Even though their identities couldn't be identified from the database, he still believed capturing them would not be challenging.aid with a respectful expression, but he wasn’t afraid because he knew that even if someone came to investigate, they would still regard the wine as genuine.Qiao Dongyun frowned slightly. He couldn't...
