Fang Yuan scratched his head again:

"And... well, about that thing at the hospital."

Fix this today, fix that tomorrow.

Last month... a young man jumped off a building... it was his own fault for being so impulsive!

And so Fang Yuan began to recount one crime after another, and before long he had recounted seven or eight sins he had committed recently.

Fang Tao's face turned as black as ink after hearing this.

Finally, he couldn't take it anymore: "Stop talking! Shut up!"

Fang Yuan quickly stopped talking and asked with a fawning smile, "Big brother, my foot!"

Fang Tao sighed: "Pull the blankets back up."

Fang Yuan lifted the blanket, and Fang Tao let out a "Huh?"

It was obvious that Fang Yuan's feet had been tampered with.

However, the scent left by the person who tampered with it felt somewhat familiar.

Fang Tao went through the thought process carefully, then suddenly slapped his thigh: "It's him."

Fang Yuan hurriedly asked, "Big brother! Who is it? Do you know who's behind this?"

Fang Tao hurriedly stood up:

"I don't know yet, I'll go ask!"

Don't let anyone touch your foot. Just get some pain relief treatment!

Also, make sure you get enough nutrition from your meals these next few days.

Remember—don't do any unnecessary treatments; they're useless.

You've offended someone, and they've done something bad to you.

"Oh, big brother, what should I do?" Fang Yuan panicked immediately.

"Did I just tell you that your ears are for catching the wind?"

"No... Big brother, what I mean is, does this mean I'll be like this from now on?"

Fang Tao sighed, "Of course not! The person who tampered with it took a piece of your bone."

I'm afraid he won't return it to you unless you meet his conditions.

Fortunately, you still have some luck!

I was thinking that since you've done so many heinous things, I didn't know where to begin investigating each and every one of them!

I do recognize the aura of the person who tampered with your belongings.

There was once a young girl who took on the karma for someone else. The person who took on that karma carried the aura of the person who had harmed her.

I'll go ask around and find out, then I'll come back to you.

After saying that, he ignored Fang Yuan's stunned expression and turned to leave.

But as soon as he stepped out the door, he bumped into Fang Yuan's wife, Ouyang Ge.

At this moment, Ouyang Ge was completely dazed and confused, walking on his toes, as if his soul and spirit had left his body.

Fang Tao grabbed her arm: "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"

It took Ouyang Ge a while to focus her gaze on Fang Tao's face.

He immediately grabbed Fang Tao's arm: "Big brother, it's over! It's all over!"

"What's over?"

"It's all over! It's all gone, gone! Everything is gone!"

As Ouyang Ge spoke, she walked towards Fang Yuan's hospital bed without touching the ground.

Ignoring Fang Yuan's injured foot, he plopped down on it.

Fang Yuan screamed, "Ah—do you think I haven't died fast enough?"

Ouyang Ge completely ignored Fang Yuan, mechanically repeating, "It's all gone... It's all over..."

Seeing this, Fang Tao walked up to Ouyang Ge and slapped her twice.

A trickle of blood escaped from Ouyang Ge's mouth, and his eyes gradually returned to normal.

She hurriedly grabbed Fang Yuan: "Honey, it's all over, everything is over!"

Fang Yuan's face was ashen: "I'm not dead yet! What the hell happened? You fucking tell me now!"

Ouyang Ge said, "Gone! The things on the roof beams are gone! The things inside the cellar walls are gone too! It's empty! Completely empty... The cellar lock hadn't even been opened, but everything inside is gone!"

Fang Yuan's eyes widened instantly: "What the hell did you say? Say it again?"

Ouyang Ge cried out:

"There's more than just your money in there; there's also the memory my mother gave me!"

That set of jewelry was given to me by my mother when I got married; it's my only keepsake of her.

Fang Yuan, I don't care what heinous things you do outside!

Did I tell you not to affect me?

"You fucking pay me back! My gold bracelet! My jade pendant!"

Fang Yuan's eyes flickered.

These items were not among the valuables confiscated by Su Ruyi last time, indicating that Fang Yuan had tampered with them beforehand and made them disappear.

But that's not important.

After hearing the devastating news that "there's nothing left," Fang Yuan completely disregarded Ouyang Ge's worthless pendant.

He shoved Ouyang Ge to the ground. "You, surnamed Ouyang! You took it, didn't you? I'm not even dead yet, and you're already thinking about dividing the inheritance?!"

Ouyang Ge was shocked: "What did you say? You actually doubt me?"

Fang Yuan sneered, "You haven't been on my side for a long time. Do you think I didn't know? What the hell is your relationship with that senior brother of your dance troupe?"

Ouyang Ge roared like a madman, "My senior brother and I are completely innocent! Fang Yuan, I never expected you to think of me like this! I, Ouyang Ge, swear—if I took a single penny from your safe, may I be hit by a car and die as soon as I step outside!"

Fang Yuan wanted to speak, but Fang Tao stopped him: "Your sister-in-law didn't take your money, nor did she betray you. Don't muddy the waters."

As he spoke, he looked at Ouyang Ge and asked, "Sister-in-law, may I come to your house for a visit?"

Ouyang Ge still respected his elder brother, who was like a father and brother to him.

After all, the courtyard they live in now was bought by their eldest brother.

She nodded respectfully: "Big brother. Shall we go now?"

"Yes, let's not delay, let's go now."

Ignoring Fang Yuan, who was sitting dumbfounded on the bed and frantically patting the edge of the bed, the two turned and left.

An hour later, Fang Tao crawled out of Fang Yuan's cellar.

Ouyang Ge squatted at the cellar entrance and reached out to pull him up: "Big brother, how is it?"

Ouyang Ge's eyes were full of anticipation.

Fang Tao pondered for a moment and said:

"It's the same person's scent."

The person who took the things from your cellar and the person who took the bone from Fang Yuan's foot are the same person.

"Sister-in-law, what's in the safe in the cellar?"

Ouyang Ge's eyes darted away slightly: "It's all... Oh dear, what a tragedy! Big brother, Fang Yuan and the third brother have been keeping this from you all along..."

They told me not to tell you, and I was afraid that if you knew, you'd get anxious and upset..."

Fang Tao shouted, "What time is it? If you keep stammering, the person who took your things will have already run away to the ends of the earth! What exactly did they take? Get me some paper and pen and write it down right now!"

Ouyang Ge had no choice but to take out paper and pen and write down what she remembered.

When Fang Tao received the paper covered in writing, he couldn't help but gasp—

With Fang Yuan's salary level, plus Ouyang Ge's meager salary, it would take at least ten lifetimes of work to store that much money in the safe!

"Where did this money come from?" Fang Tao asked coldly. "You'd better tell the truth!"
