Chapter 10 Emptying the Scumbag's Assets

The atmosphere in the restaurant was naturally not good during dinner.

Xia Yuhuan didn't care and continued eating her food.

Even so, Xia Jianyong still couldn't stand her and said irritably, "Eat, eat, all you know is eating. Your sister is about to go to the countryside, and you're still eating so happily. Don't you have any conscience?"

Xia Yuhuan: "???"

Is Xia Jianyong out of his mind? She didn't provoke him, so why is he cursing at her?

Xia Yuhuan sneered, "Sending educated youth to the countryside to help villagers build the village was a policy set by the leaders. Dad, you actually said it was to suffer. It seems you have a lot of opinions about the leaders."

Upon hearing this, Xia Jianyong's face turned pale, and he scolded, "Don't talk nonsense! Do you know how much trouble your words will cause me if someone hears them?"

Xia Yuhuan pouted: "I don't know. I only know that if someone overhears what you said, you'll be in trouble too."

Xia Jianyong: "..."

That's not wrong.

In the end, Xia Jianyong didn't want to argue with Xia Yuhuan, so he could only keep quiet.

Seeing that he had calmed down, Xia Yuhuan focused on eating.

After finishing her meal, Xia Yuhuan went straight back to her room, looking like she didn't want to have anything to do with them.

That night, Xia Jianyong secretly left home and rode his bicycle to a house deep in an alley.

Xia Yuhuan watched as Xia Jianyong sneaked into the courtyard, and she also secretly peeked through the wall, peeking inside.

She saw Xia Jianyong groping around in a corner of the yard.

He actually lifted up the floor tiles and reached inside to take something out.

Xia Jianyong took out a wooden box.

He took two gold bricks out of the wooden box, and then immediately put the box back in.

Seeing that he was about to come out, Xia Yuhuan quickly shrank back and quietly hid.

After locking the door, Xia Jianyong left the yard.

Xia Yuhuan waited for a while to make sure that Xia Jianyong had really left and had not returned before climbing over the wall into the courtyard.

She went to the place where Xia Jianyong had taken the gold and searched around.

Xia Yuhuan lifted the floor tiles and saw the box hidden inside.

She took out the top box, opened it, and found it was full of trinkets.

There were a few more boxes downstairs, and Xia Yuhuan didn't hesitate to bring them all out.

Each box was completely full, filled entirely with gold.

Xia Yuhuan was almost blinded by the sheer amount of gold she saw.

"Xia Jianyong is a real scoundrel. He took so many good things from Xia Qingqing, but he doesn't even treat her well. He's a heartless bastard."

Xia Yuhuan cursed under her breath, then without hesitation, she put all the gold into her spatial storage.

This originally belonged to the original owner's biological mother, so it is essentially the original owner's property.

Although the original owner is dead, she has taken over the original owner's body, so these things are naturally hers too. She certainly wouldn't leave these good things for Xia Jianyong to ruin.

"In the original text, Xia Zhuyu later used the initial capital given to her by Xia Jianyong to expand her business. Her initial capital was huge, and it was definitely not just the value of these few boxes of gold. There must have been other things as well."

"We need to find out the rest of the things too, so that we don't leave that scumbag a single penny."

Xia Yuhuan thought for a moment and began searching the yard.

Unfortunately, she searched for a long time but found nothing unusual.

Xia Yuhuan gritted her teeth: "If only I had some kind of X-ray vision or treasure-hunting ability."

If she really had such incredible abilities, what treasures couldn't she find?

She just made that casual complaint, but there was a strange feeling about it.

Xia Yuhuan suddenly looked towards the middle of the courtyard.

Even though it was pitch black, Xia Yuhuan felt as if her eyes were filled with glittering jewels.

She instinctively walked towards the tree in the middle of the yard.

After standing still, she squatted down and tapped the bricks on the ground.

She tapped on each brick one by one, and sure enough, a few bricks sounded different from the others.

Xia Yuhuan's eyes lit up, and she immediately began to lift the bricks.

She quickly pried the bricks off.

There were also wooden boxes hidden underneath.

This time, however, the wooden box was significantly larger, and Xia Yuhuan had to lift several bricks to move it out.

Upon opening it, I found it was full of jewelry.

Xia Yuhuan couldn't help but gasp.

"Oh my god, can my luck really be that good? I was just casually complaining, and suddenly I have a treasure-hunting ability?"

Xia Yuhuan hurriedly packed up all the boxes, filled in the gaps with bricks, and then focused her attention on the rest of the yard.

Then she spotted several more places with light.

She dug through them one by one, and sure enough, they all contained hidden treasure.

Xia Yuhuan was overjoyed.

Now she'll definitely be able to empty out everything Xia Jianyong has hidden in this place.

Xia Jianyong will be devastated by the time that happens!

After looting the gold and silver jewelry in the yard, Xia Yuhuan still felt unsatisfied and ran to the room to search.

She found two basements and discovered many artifacts, antiques, and other valuables inside.

Xia Yuhuan only stopped after making sure the place was completely hollowed out.

At first, she thought about restoring things to their original state after taking them out, but later she simply became too lazy to do it anymore.

Since the items disappeared into thin air, they must have been stolen. What kind of thief would return the stolen items to the homeowner?

She wouldn't do that.

So, after Xia Yuhuan left, she left behind a courtyard in complete disarray.

Xia Yuhuan wasn't sure if this was the only courtyard where Xia Jianyong had hidden things, since she had already found enough valuables.

But apart from coming here with Xia Jianyong, she didn't know anything else. So even if there was something else, she could only take it one step at a time and deal with it later.

Xia Yuhuan secretly returned to the Xia family home.

As I was going upstairs, I happened to run into Xia Zhuyu, who was getting up in the middle of the night.

"Why aren't you sleeping so late? What are you doing here?" Xia Zhuyu asked, frowning.

Xia Yuhuan was glad that she had gone to her space to tidy up before going upstairs and changed into her pajamas, otherwise her image as someone who had worked as a bricklayer and raided treasure chests would have been exposed in a second.

"I went downstairs to get some water, what, you have a problem with that?" Xia Yuhuan retorted.

Xia Zhuyu frowned upon hearing this, watched Xia Yuhuan return to her room, and remained silent.

Back in her room, Xia Yuhuan had no desire to sleep and went into her personal space to review her gains from the evening.

At the time, she was in the yard and was afraid of being discovered, so she didn't open and check every box. Later on, she would just put the boxes away in her storage space whenever she saw them, and she didn't have the mind to look at them at all.

Now that she's completely back in a safe environment, she finally has the mind to look at things.

The items collected can be roughly divided into gold, jewelry, antiques, and cultural relics, covering almost all valuable items.

Xia Yuhuan rummaged through things, getting angrier and angrier.

"Hmph, Xia Jianyong is really shameless. He actually used his deceased wife's inheritance to support his mistress and illegitimate daughter. It's disgusting."

"No, we absolutely cannot let Xia Jianyong be promoted as smoothly as in the original text. I have to find a way to stop him from being promoted."
