Chapter 5 Collection Collection Collection

After giving her statement, Su Meng walked out of the police station, looked at the blue sky and white clouds, and felt the warmth of the sun.

It feels like a lifetime ago.

"What are you thinking about?" A deep voice sounded beside me.

Su Meng turned around, raising an eyebrow in surprise, "Why haven't you left yet?"

Huo Zhenhua stood ramrod straight, his hands pressed tightly against the seams of his trousers, and said in a serious tone, "I want to thank you in person."

Comrade Su, thank you for saving my life!

Su Meng was stunned, her eyes darting around several times before she finally understood what a life-saving grace meant.

She waved her hand, "I'm sorry I dragged you into this!"

As I spoke, I could almost hear his heavy, hot breathing again, and my fingertips seemed to touch that hot body and those hard abs again.

My ears gradually started to feel hot.

She hurriedly lowered her head and said, "Thank you for your testimony. We're even now."

Then, he walked away quickly.

Huo Zhenhua also inexplicably recalled his own recklessness and wanted to say that he should take responsibility.

But the thought that she was Nie Ronghua's childhood betrothal troubled him, and then he saw the girl run away.

Logically speaking, they should already be hugging and kissing.

He should be responsible for that girl.

But she seemed completely unconcerned, as if she was afraid he would cling to her.

He...was he rejected?

Huo Zhenhua glanced deeply at the figure in the distance, his dark face revealing no emotion.

On the other side, Su Meng had just arrived at her doorstep when she bumped into Zhong Wanrou, who had returned earlier. Zhong Wanrou was wearing a white dress with small chrysanthemums, white leather shoes, and carrying a pearl handbag as she walked out the door.

"What are you looking at? Get away!" Zhong Wanrou shouted first, angrily ramming into her.

Su Meng snatched the small handbag, "The thief is so aggressive even after running into the culprit, it's like a small knife pulling a big fish, I've never seen anything like it."

She pretended to raise her small handbag to throw it at her, which startled Zhong Wanrou, who screamed and covered her head, "No!"

As she dodged, she bent over, and a necklace slipped from her neck.

Su Meng grabbed it, "You just got carried away stealing, didn't you?"

I'll just take you to the police station so your mom can keep you company.

Also, the skirt and little leather shoes are mine; take them off.

How could Zhong Wanrou bear to do that?

"No way! Get out of my way! Don't make my date come up."

She screamed and disappeared in the blink of an eye, her feet moving as if on fire.

Su Meng smiled dismissively.

Zhong Wanrou must have gone to her room again while she was away.

Strangely, she hadn't noticed that her room was empty after all this time.

Tsk tsk! Reborn women aren't all that great.

They remain as greedy and shameless as ever.

Especially in terms of cold-bloodedness, he has truly inherited Zhong Cuilin's talent.

At this time, Shen Wuyang was still dealing with Zhong Cuilin's matter.

The servants in the house had been given leave several days ago when they were moving the family property.

Su Meng closed the courtyard gate and went straight into Shen Wuyang's room, which was her father's original room.

The Su family patriarch's room was filled with priceless treasures, but none of them amounted to even one percent of the treasures in the secret inner chamber.

She had entered the dark room of this house when she was a child.

It is two or three times larger than the other rooms.

The boxes inside were stacked high, reaching the roof.

At that time, the little girl looked up curiously, and once fell on her bottom because she lost her balance, making a big joke of herself.

However, when she opened it...

The boxes that I remember were piled up to the ceiling were now half empty.

Damn Shen Wuyang, he stole so much!

Su Meng was heartbroken and wished she could crack open Shen Wuyang's head to see where he had stolen the things.

That was her father's dowry that he had saved up for her.

Huge rat! That despicable huge rat!

She hated Shen Wuyang, and even more so Zhong Cuilin, who had let the wolf into her house.

Now, Zhong Cuilin has been taken to the police station on charges of premeditated murder and will likely be sentenced.

But Su Meng couldn't bring herself to make her repent in prison so easily.

She flicked the remaining powder from under her fingernails, and thinking of the Heartbreak Poison she had used on Zhong Cuilin, a slight smile finally appeared on her face.

The "Heartbreak and Soul-Calling Powder" was a homemade medicinal powder.

It will take effect three days later, causing intestinal cramps and unbearable abdominal pain. It will slowly torment the patient for a month, eventually leading to exhaustion and death.

The mother died unexpectedly during childbirth.

There is no news of my father; we don't know if he's alive or dead.

My newborn brother was hastily sent away by my father and his whereabouts are unknown.

Each and every one of these incidents is the work of the devil Zhong Cuilin.

She has no evidence to prove Zhong Cuilin's heinous crimes.

But she believes that evil people will eventually get their just desserts!

Let the Heartbreak Poison send her on her way.

After emptying the dark room, Su Meng went straight to the study.

The hidden compartment in the study was there when Su Mianzhi was still alive.

Inside was a Swiss bank passbook belonging to Su Mianzhi, with a face value of 200,000.

There are also several passbooks from Shanghai-listed banks, with varying denominations, totaling as much as 150,000 yuan.

Below are several yellowed books, which are books on martial arts, traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture, and pharmacology and medicinal herbs.

Su Meng looked at the handwritten notes above, her eyes stinging and her heart aching.

It seemed that she saw her grandfather teaching her martial arts with a small twig.

She saw her uncle using a ruler to teach her to recite medical books.

She saw her mother teaching her to recognize blood and acupuncture.

Clutching the books, she was overwhelmed with heartache and slowly squatted down.

Amidst her tears, she unexpectedly discovered a... well-hidden gap under the rosewood bed.

If she hadn't been so observant, she definitely wouldn't have noticed.

After careful examination, Su Meng discovered the mechanism button "growing" on the bed leg.

After a faint, strange noise, the crack under the bed slowly opened, revealing a dark, grimy hole.

Su Meng took out a luminous pearl from the wooden box she had just put away.

In an instant, a hole of about ten square meters appeared before our eyes.

The room was neatly filled with boxes.

A box the same size as the one in the dark room.

Su Meng didn't even look at them, and waved them away.

Looking up, I saw a corner of a bankbook peeking out from under the mattress above me.

Another windfall!

There was 30,000 yuan in the savings account, and next to it, more than 8,000 yuan in cash was neatly stacked as a mattress.

Su Meng laughed in exasperation.

That bastard Shen Wuyang sleeps on the tickets day and night, how come he hasn't broken his old back?

Despite her complaints, Su Meng didn't forget Zhong Cuilin's room after emptying the room.

The house was very quiet.

She glanced around Zhong Cuilin's room and, without a second thought, quickly emptied it.

They didn't even spare the rat holes.

Ironically, Zhong Cuilin, despite her lifelong scheming, had less than a tenth of Shen Wuyang's personal savings.

Surprisingly, Zhong Cuilin kept the agreement she had with Shen Wuyang to take over the Su family, as well as Shen Wuyang's identity documents.

It turns out that Shen Wuyang was just an actor.

He wanted a stable and prosperous life, while Zhong Cuilin was attracted to Shen Wuyang's resemblance to Su Mianzhi.

The two hit it off immediately and, harboring treacherous ambitions, occupied the Su family for over a decade.

Ah! Life really is like a play, and a play is like life.

Su Meng carefully put away the agreement and Shen Wuyang's identification documents, then turned around and emptied her own room, as well as the living room, kitchen, and maid's room downstairs.

Su Meng was grumbling and cursing when she took over the storage room.

Nothing more. In the storage room of more than 30 square meters, apart from a box of modern auction items, there were only two boxes of worthless ornaments and books.

Seeing this, Su Meng wished she could slap herself a few times.

If she hadn't accidentally awakened to this truth, she would have been sold out and foolishly helped the seller count the money.

stupid!

How stupid!

Stupid as a pig!

Su Meng left home cursing and headed towards the bank.

She had to transfer all the money in the savings account before Shen Wuyang found out.

It is now four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun is setting in the west, and pedestrians are hurrying along the street.

Su Meng, wearing a wide-brimmed sun hat, hurried along with her head down.

suddenly......
