As the saying goes, a guilty conscience needs no accuser, and Su Rui kept glancing back, afraid that someone was following him.

Su Rui was also very anxious. His father had only told his mother about the place he went to. His mother had no choice but to tell him about it in order to save his older brother.

Last time he went in, as his mother told him, he saw those things. Actually, he somewhat resented his father.

His father used his salary to help his underlings who were struggling, so the amount of money he had left over varied. Therefore, his family's finances were relatively tight.

This is his and his older brother's understanding.

I never expected Dad to have so many good things, so he didn't care about his meager salary at all.

But the older brother didn't know that, which is why he took the risk of getting money.

When my older brother took money he shouldn't have the first time, my father gave him a good scolding. Couldn't he have given my older brother a heads-up?

Su Rui arrived at a very secluded place on the outskirts of Kyoto. He entered the courtyard but didn't go inside. There was a dilapidated wooden pavilion in the yard. On the beam of the pavilion was a swallow's nest. The swallow's nest was perched on the beam, not a hanging one. Su Rui placed gold bars in the swallow's nest.

He sold a few gold bars, and his mother didn't know. Last time, in a moment of impulse, he took ten extra and hid them here. Later, he felt he had taken too many and wanted to return some, but he hadn't had a chance yet.

He won't go inside to get them today; he'll just take a few from the swallow's nest!

Wei Aiguo peeked from over the wall. He felt he had made a mistake; if he had been able to devise a plan to corner Su Rui directly in the courtyard, there might have been unexpected gains.

But that's just wishful thinking; this place is remote and there aren't many people around. There aren't even any elderly women there to watch the spectacle!

Actually, there was another person watching Su Rui. He and Wei Aiguo had already discovered each other. However, the two were wary of each other, and neither made a sound.

Wei Aiguo guessed that this was one of Shen Changchuan's men.

The person who was following them that day overheard Wen Shujuan asking the Su family for money, and Shen Changchuan will find out too! It's just a matter of what he plans to do.

Su Rui took a cloth bag containing the gold bars and planned to head back. Looking at the sky, Su Rui decided to give the gold bars to Wen Shujuan tomorrow.

Wei Aiguo and Maozi followed Su Rui.

Maozi: "Brother, is that guy also with him?"

Wei Aiguo thought: Not bad, you're not completely stupid.

Wei Aiguo felt that this position was acceptable.

Wei Aiguo: "Maozi, do me a favor, and I'll definitely thank you properly if you do it!"

The Russian was terrified. Was Ugly Second Brother trying to get him to steal something here? Ugly Second Brother is Wei Aiguo's current nickname.

Wei Aiguo immediately saw through his intentions. Originally, the plan was to act opportunistically, having him steal the gold bars so he could then scatter them on the ground for everyone to see. But that wasn't necessary now.

Wei Aiguo slapped him, "What are you thinking? Do you think I'd let you go to your death?"

Go and ram him hard, knock his pockets off to the ground.

"That's it?" Even the Russian was a little skeptical.

"It would be even better if others saw that he had gold bars in his pocket. Hurry up and go!" Wei Aiguo shoved Maozi.

The Russian took off running, and it was obvious to everyone that someone was chasing him. In his panic, he ran straight into Su Rui.

The Russian used too much force, and Su Rui was caught off guard. He fell, and his bag flew out of his hand.

"Oh! I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!" Maozi hurriedly tried to help Su Rui pick up her bag.

Don't touch my things!

"Crash!" Then came the crisp sound of metal hitting the ground.

The Russian was holding the bottom of the pocket, as if he was in a real hurry and had taken it upside down.

The guard at the gate saw that Su Rui had been knocked down and had already come over.

"Oh my god! Is this a small yellow croaker?" Wei Aiguo ran up from behind.

The Russian threw the bag at Suri's face. "This isn't mine. I accidentally bumped into him, who knew I'd find so many gold bars!"

Suri's head was buzzing.

…

Shen Chang hasn't figured out how to deal with Wen Shujuan yet; she's incredibly audacious to extort the Su family. It's not a big deal if something happens to her, but it will implicate Ruomei.

We need to keep an eye on them now.

But now, the people who accompanied Su Rui have returned to report.

Su Rui fell down at the entrance of the compound, scattering gold bars on the ground.

He was also the one who was following Su Rui. He deliberately bumped into Su Rui and deliberately spilled the gold bars.

It was intentional, intentional, all intentional. It was his own son who did it.

Shen Changchuan and Secretary Fang were sitting opposite each other, drinking flower tea.

Secretary Fang: "What should we do next?"

Shen Changchuan: "That depends on what we find in that hidden place."

Also, I can go and identify gold bars!

Everyone knows that I don't get along with Lao Zeng, but my wife and I have a teacher-student relationship.

My master's dowry

"Of course I know him."

…

Su Zhaohai is now as if he is in the middle of a fire.

That stupid woman at home told her not to act rashly. She agreed on the surface, but secretly she wouldn't listen. She even sent Su Rui to that place.

He truly regretted it; in his moment of pride, he had revealed the secret of that place to that foolish woman.

Fortunately, one of the soldiers on duty at the time was someone he had helped before. He called him immediately.

This was the first time the soldiers on duty had encountered something like this, and they didn't know what to do. They reported it up the chain of command, buying themselves some time…

…

"Report!" Zhou Gang entered, but his expression was grim.

Shen Changchuan closed his eyes briefly. "Looks like this is a bad start!"

Zhou Gang: "Reporting, sir, when we arrived, the courtyard was on fire. The fire was huge..."

Secretary Fang: "I didn't expect him to act so quickly."

But it was no use rushing; his son couldn't escape.

Shen Changchuan: "Is there any other news outside?"

Zhou Gang: "Su Rui won't say anything. I heard there's a Su character written in seal script on that gold bar."

Shen Changchuan stood up and straightened his military uniform. "Let's go! Old buddy, come with me to see my sister-in-law's dowry."

My son has gone to such lengths; I have to give him a little push!

Secretary Fang: "If I have the chance, I will definitely ask Shen Qian how he got Su Rui to go and get the gold bars again."
