After glancing at Chen Tian's portrait, Lai Shuangquan frowned and nodded, saying, "No mistake. According to Zhang Laohan's information, we had already sent someone to keep an eye on that guy. You heard it just now, the informant said that this person did indeed check into this inn, so this is definitely the place."

"Brother, are you really sure that kid has money? Last time, Zhang Laohan also provided a tip, but when we went to his door, the guy was as poor as a church mouse. Where would he get any money?" Although he confirmed that Chen Tian was staying at the inn, the burly man seemed to have thought of something else and spoke again.

"Second Brother, don't underestimate Zhang Laohan's abilities. This old fellow has been painting portraits on the street since he was twenty years old. Besides being good at painting, his ability to read faces is also remarkable. Three years ago, he was forced to join forces with us because he had to pay off debts. He has provided us with more than a dozen pieces of information, and haven't they all been accurate?"

"But Brother, he messed up last time. Not only did we not find any money on that kid, but we were almost chased by the government soldiers. I really can't swallow this!" The burly man seemed a little angry and said indignantly.

Lai Shuangquan shook his head and said, "We can't blame him for that. Afterwards, I went to check and found that the kid did come to Dingxiang Town with a lot of money, but I didn't expect that the kid liked to gamble and lost all his money in one afternoon. That's why we couldn't find a single penny on him when we came at night. But this cannot deny Zhang Laohan's role. I think this time, he will definitely provide us with a very good fat sheep!"

As he said this, a cruel sneer appeared on Lai Shuangquan's face, and the burly man also laughed after hearing this.

Then, Lai Shuangquan waved his hand and led the dozen or so strong men behind him to climb up the pillars of the inn.

Lai Shuangquan had no parents. Because he was not disciplined, he started doing petty theft from a young age.

With his intelligence, he quickly made a name for himself in Dingxiang Town. Gradually, some guys with ulterior motives began to follow him and called him Big Brother.

As his team grew stronger, Lai Shuangquan was no longer satisfied with petty troubles. His ambition swelled, and he planned to do something big.

At this time, he noticed Zhang Laohan, who was painting portraits on the street.

This Zhang Laohan was also a capable person, painting very well, especially portraits, which were simply lifelike.

Looking at Zhang Laohan's skills, Lai Shuangquan couldn't help but have some ideas in his mind.

He felt that if he used Zhang Laohan's skills to help him find some young masters who looked like wealthy and noble families, draw their portraits, and then have Lai Shuangquan lead people to rob them at night, this would simply be a profitable business!

This idea made Lai Shuangquan very excited, so he immediately went to Zhang Laohan to discuss this matter.

But who would have thought that although Zhang Laohan was greedy for money, he was unexpectedly a somewhat upright person and resolutely rejected Lai Shuangquan's proposal.

However, Lai Shuangquan also had some cleverness, how could he give up so easily?

So, Lai Shuangquan personally set up a trap, using Zhang Laohan's lustful nature to send a courtesan to seduce him.

Zhang Laohan's fondness for women was well known. Most of his income from selling paintings was spent in brothels.

The woman Lai Shuangquan found was not only beautiful but also knew a little about music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, which immediately fascinated Zhang Laohan.

Just as they were doing those lewd things in bed, Lai Shuangquan suddenly broke in with people and said that the woman was his sister and that Zhang Laohan was using violent means to take advantage of his sister, demanding that Zhang Laohan be responsible for this.

Faced with such false accusations, Zhang Laohan initially argued with reason, but who would have thought that at this moment, the woman who had been so obedient to him suddenly burst into tears and insisted that Zhang Laohan had used brute force to take advantage of her.

Zhang Laohan never expected that this woman, who was still charming a moment ago, would turn against him in the next moment. He was instantly stunned.

While Zhang Laohan was confused, he was forced by Lai Shuangquan to put his handprint on a contract.

The contract stated that Zhang Laohan, after private consultation, decided to pay Lai Shuangquan five thousand taels of silver for taking liberties with Lai Shuangquan's sister.

Zhang Laohan naturally couldn't come up with so much money, so he had no choice but to accept the request Lai Shuangquan had previously made, helping him find those young masters who looked like wealthy and noble families, drawing their portraits and handing them over to Lai Shuangquan, and then Lai Shuangquan would lead people to rob them at night.

Over the years, Zhang Laohan had helped Lai Shuangquan with more than a dozen cases, and he had gone from being panicked at the beginning to being indifferent now.

Because Lai Shuangquan would give him some silver after each successful case, Zhang Laohan had even taken the initiative to help him find suitable targets to attack.

However, because the last person Zhang Laohan chose for Lai Shuangquan had lost all his money, Lai Shuangquan returned empty-handed, which made him very angry and sent someone to beat Zhang Laohan severely.

Therefore, Zhang Laohan was afraid and wanted to help Lai Shuangquan find a more suitable target as soon as possible.

In the past few days, Zhang Laohan had been constantly observing passers-by, but he couldn't find any good targets, which made him a little anxious.

But he didn't expect that today, he suddenly saw Chen Tian passing by.

Standing at the door, Lai Shuangquan whispered to the others, "Brothers, according to reliable information, there will be a big fish inside. If we can take him down smoothly, we won't have to worry about food and drink for the next few years. So you must pay attention to me, do you understand?"

In order to avoid alarming the enemy, although these people behind Lai Shuangquan couldn't speak, judging from the expressions on their faces, they were obviously extremely excited!

Lai Shuangquan nodded in satisfaction when he saw this. Then, after gesturing, he no longer hesitated and rushed into the room first!
