As expected, Gao Muming saw Lao Wan and his four companions in the Angel's Gift.

When the drunken Lao Wan saw Gao Muming approaching him and others with a gloomy face, he raised the wine glass in his hand at Gao Muming with a drunken smile on his face.

"Boss, you're back, let's have a drink together."

Then Lao Wan stood up and walked towards Gao Muming with the wine glass in his hand. Under the horrified gazes of Xiao Cheng, Ayi and Xiao Zhu, he raised his empty hand and gently patted Gao Muming's face.

"Come and have a drink with me. These are the only days in all these years when I can drink to my heart's content without any scruples."

As he spoke, a glimmer of hope appeared on Lao Wan's drunken face.

"It's nice to be able to walk around the city and drink without restraint."

Seeing Lao Wan's look, and recalling the time they spent together, Gao Muming could not help but be silent. After drinking the wine in the glass, Lao Wan turned around and walked towards the wine table.

Seeing that Lao Wan was staggering, Gao Muming quickly stepped forward and held him with his hand. Looking at the subordinate and friend who had been with him for the longest time, he murmured softly with a complicated expression.

"You must be tired of your career as a treasure thief after so many years."

After sitting down, Gao Muming also picked up the wine glass and started drinking, his eyes sweeping over Lao Wan and the others.

"Looking at how happy they were when they were setting up stalls and drinking a few days ago, they must like their current environment and life. If they were asked to choose again, I'm afraid they wouldn't want to join a treasure-stealing group."

Thinking of this, Gao Muming asked with a serious face.

"Old Wan, don't you want to join the treasure-stealing group anymore?"

Lao Wan came back drunk and said "hmm" before falling asleep on the table.

After confirming Lao Wan's intention, Gao Muming glanced at Xiao Zhu, Ayi and Xiao Cheng who were stunned with shock.

"You guys don't want to be part of the treasure-stealing group anymore, do you?"

Ayi, who was a bit naive, stared at Gao Muming blankly, and then spoke.

"Boss, based on the profits from the stalls over the past few days, we have calculated that selling things in Mondstadt is more profitable and more stable than exploring secret realms. It's all about money, so let's become merchants instead."

Without responding to Ayi's words, Gao Muming turned his attention to Xiao Cheng and Xiao Zhu.

"What do you two think?"

Xiao Zhu spoke with some trepidation.

"I am very grateful to the boss for teaching me how to read. If I had not come to Mondstadt to buy things for a few days, I would definitely follow the boss without hesitation. But..."

Xiao Zhu bit his lip and looked a little unhappy.

"Having seen a stable and peaceful life, I don't want to go back to a life of living in the wild and being insecure. I'm really sorry, Boss."

Hearing Xiao Zhu's words, Gao Muming showed a relieved smile amid the surprised looks of several people.

"Isn't this great? Now you have a new life of your own dreams. It's worth it that I left you room for improvement."

Then, without waiting for Xiao Cheng to say anything, Gao Muming stared at Xiao Cheng with narrowed eyes, and spoke to him first with a meaningful smile on his face.

"I won't ask you any more questions. You will definitely follow me back to Liyue anyway."

Hearing Gao Muming's words, Xiao Cheng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Looking at Xiao Cheng's somewhat surprised expression, Gao Muming smiled.

"I don't know which side you are from, but since you are following me, you won't leave easily, right?"

As he spoke, Gao Muming stood up and walked behind Xiao Cheng, patted him on the shoulder, and laughed heartily.

"You have found a new life. This is the happiest news I have heard today. I have booked a room at the previous hotel. Remember to come find me tomorrow morning. I will share the reward with you."

Without giving them time to react, Takagi Akira walked to the bar.

"Boss Charles, give me a few bottles of wine to take away."

After walking out of the angel's gift, Gao Muming breathed a sigh of relief, his tone containing both relief and a little loneliness.

"I'm going to become a human being again."

Back at the hotel, Gao Muming sat there sipping his wine and thinking about what to do next.

"It's just right to give this money as start-up capital to Lao Wan and his group. Xiao Zhu and Ayi can just quit the group. Lao Wan's words are a bit difficult to deal with."

"What can I do for Lao Wan? Lao Wan is different from Xiao Zhu Ayi. It will be very difficult for him to return to a bright life."

"Although it was not my intention, it was just an accident during the execution. However, as the criminal who kidnapped Hu Tao and Xing Qiu with me, Lao Wan is still wanted by Liyue."

"However, considering Lao Wan's personality of loving to talk a lot, Xiao Cheng, who is suspected to be a Seven Star spy, should have understood the situation, right? If there is no harm, we can give Lao Wan a fake identity. As long as he doesn't return to Liyue, the General Affairs Department should not keep chasing him."

"The problem now is that I have been exposed, and Lao Wan and the others have also been exposed. How can we make Mond, who has ended the dragon disaster and is free, not care about their previous identities?"

"The best way is to give Mond a little favor."

Gao Muming's eyes suddenly lit up as he thought about it.

"We have a ready-made merit here. The army of hillbillies in Dadaupa Valley, just let Lao Wan and his men do a little bit of work in the battle."

Gao Muming, who had been in deep thought, did not notice the passage of time. When he heard a knock on the door, he suddenly realized that it was already night.

When I opened the door, Lao Wan was standing there.

"come in."

Gao Muming said this and walked back into the room, and Lao Wan followed him in.

"How are they doing?"

"They were all drunk. I sent them back to their rooms one by one. They should have fallen asleep."

"are you tired?"

"I am indeed tired."

"You have been following me for these years and have worked very hard but have not made much money. It is really hard for you."

"No, although it was a bit hard, the experiences over the years are still worth remembering."

"That's good."

Following Takagi Akira's sigh, the room fell into silence.

After a long silence, Lao Wan spoke.

"Boss, why don't you quit the treasure-stealing group with us and settle down in Mondstadt. Even if you quit, those people won't dare to do anything to you."

Gao Muming shook his head at Lao Wan's suggestion, looked at the bright moon outside the window, and then spoke to Lao Wan.

"It's been so long, I don't think I've told you about my past, right?"

"Indeed, every time I asked curious questions, you didn't tell me."

Hearing what Lao Wan said, Gao Muming smiled somewhat forcedly.

"Let me tell you, my first memory in Teyvat is bloody. I witnessed a murder, and in order to save my life from the treasure-stealing gang that just killed people, I lied and said I wanted to join, so I joined the treasure-stealing gang."

"The gang I was in at the beginning was a bunch of wicked people. At that time, in order to save my life, I committed a lot of evil under their pressure."
