Special Expert of Beauty CEO-Chapter 1465 - 1469: Qin Tian’s Cunning Scheme

Wuming Mountain, twelve kilometers southwest of Nanyun Town.

It's a great mountain, surrounded by dense forests.

Zhao Lanjin noticed from afar someone flying on a sword towards this area. Although they tried to remain hidden, they couldn't escape Zhao Lanjin's sharp eyes.

Qin Tian and Zhao Lanjin arrived at the foot of this unnamed mountain within minutes, instantly becoming alert.

As expected, traces of bandits were indeed found here.

They chased all the way to a cliff deep in the forest, and before reaching the forest, they spotted two scouts from the bandits.

The two didn't act immediately but instead followed these scouts, waiting for them to gather at a cave under the cliff.

At that moment, Qin Tian and Zhao Lanjin could see clearly. Inside the cave within the cliff, there should be a secret door where the bandits were hiding.

"There aren't many of them, probably just around a dozen. That white-bearded old man looks like the bandit leader we're here to eliminate, Bai Liangwang."

Qin Tian spoke softly to Zhao Lanjin.

Zhao Lanjin nodded, "It's hard to say whether those Immortality Cultivators from the Demon Clan are with them or have escaped on their own."

The two of them had been observing for a while and indeed had not seen any Immortality Cultivators from the Demon Clan appear.

Zhao Lanjin thought Qin Tian was going to take action, but despite waiting a long time, Qin Tian did not make a move. Upon glancing at Qin Tian, it seemed Qin Tian was looking back, appearing to wait for something, then suddenly he understood.

Qin Tian was waiting for Chen Weiming to arrive.

Sure enough, about an hour later, Chen Weiming arrived with a team of men, advancing directly towards the forest.

The men hadn't even arrived, but the commotion was already rife. The bandits in the cave, upon hearing the noise, scrambled inside the cave, creating a scene to conceal the presence of anyone inside.

"It's almost time for our performance. It'll depend on whether that guy is greedy or not. If he isn't greedy, he can live; if he is, then he deserves to die."

Qin Tian naturally knew Zhao Lanjin understood his thoughts and flashed a faint smile at Zhao Lanjin. The two stood up and walked out of their hiding spot, directly approaching the cave.

They arrived at the cave, and Chen Weiming followed shortly after.

"What are you two doing here? Your men say you're here for reconnaissance?"

Chen Weiming still sat on horseback, addressing Qin Tian and Zhao Lanjin with a demanding posture, taking a glance around, naturally also noticing the cave.

Qin Tian saw that Zhang Hefei and others had also arrived with Chen Weiming.

"Yes, we are here to scout." Qin Tian replied.

"Hmph, scouting? Have you found anything? You two, trying to fool me? I've sent you out for so long with no movement, not knowing to report back? Over at the South camp, the Immortality Cultivators from the Demon Clan have been eradicated; what about you? Hm? Useless!"

Chen Weiming scolded bluntly. He didn't even reflect on what he had accomplished as the commander of the City Guard Army but instead directly launched a tirade at Qin Tian.

Now Qin Tian understood very well that Chen Weiming was out to target him this time.

If the bandits were eliminated, his credit would be snatched away by Chen Weiming.

If the bandit eradication failed and the bandit leader escaped, Chen Weiming would blame it on Qin Tian.

A win-win situation for Chen Weiming!

"We have made discoveries."

Qin Tian thought for a moment and said to Chen Weiming, "We've discovered that inside this cave, it seems to be where the bandits store their treasure. We've followed them all the way here, watching them carry things out and head towards the West."

Speaking, Qin Tian looked at the cave entrance and said, "Sir, you can see, regardless of how well the cave is concealed, the leaves and sand at the entrance clearly show fresh footprints upon careful inspection."

Chen Weiming dismounted, approached the cave entrance, and examined it closely, indeed seeing fresh footprints.

He looked at Qin Tian and said, "Are you sure? That inside the cave, the bandits are hiding treasure? Have you been inside to see?"

"No, we just arrived and were about to go inside when you came." Qin Tian exchanged a look with Zhao Lanjin.

"Hmph, do you think I'll believe your words?"

Chen Weiming sneered, "Do you take me for a three-year-old child?"

"Sir, whether you believe it or not, here's the deal: you stay here and keep watch, and I'll go inside with Zhao Lanjin to have a look. If there's treasure, we'll call you in. How about that?" Qin Tian suggested.

"You've got a good plan, discovering treasure inside the cave, would you still call me?"

Chen Weiming circled the cave and said, "No matter if there's treasure inside or not, Qin Tian, you lead the way; I'll follow you and take a look! If there's nothing, I'll settle the score with you when we come out! You go first, go in!"

This Chen Weiming was indeed smart, making Qin Tian lead the way.

Qin Tian glanced at Zhao Lanjin, who nodded back, signaling Qin Tian to be cautious.

After all, they knew best what to expect inside the cave.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Qin Tian walked at the forefront, Chen Weiming behind him, maintaining a distance of two or three meters.

Clearly, Chen Weiming was very cautious, fearing Qin Tian might play tricks, yet not wanting to miss the treasure inside the cave. Plus, he felt his combat power was superior to Qin Tian's, so he was prepared to enter the cave with him to investigate.

However, upon following Qin Tian into the cave, all Chen Weiming saw were some tables and chairs, nothing beyond that on the rocky walls. He became angry immediately: "Hmph, the treasure you spoke of is just these tables? I sent you to scout the bandit activity, and you play missing. You think I don't know you're being slack in executing my orders?!"

Qin Tian raised his voice, "Lord Chen, you are the chief in charge of this City Guard bandit eradication. How dare I take your orders lightly? I truly saw bandits come in."

As Qin Tian spoke, he remained alert, vigilantly observing the surroundings, activating the Body Tempering Technique.

"Ha, you're saying this to me now, don't give me this!" Chen Weiming laughed boisterously.

Qin Tian faintly saw the gap of the secret door in the cave and raised his voice: "Lord Chen, it's unclear if there's treasure in this cave or not. How about we set fire and burn everything inside? Later, we can inspect if there's anything valuable?"

"Burn the cave?"

Chen Weiming was taken aback by Qin Tian's suggestion.

However, Qin Tian didn't focus on Chen Weiming's expression but on the dark part of the cave wall, right behind Chen Weiming. There he could faintly see an artificially created gap, likely the secret door where the bandits were hiding!

Qin Tian proposed to burn the cave to force the bandits out, striking first!

At this moment, it seemed the bandits were already itching to make a move!
