Gu Baoguo had expected to see a box full of gold, but when his mother opened it, it was empty.

There wasn't even a hair, let alone gold.

This left him completely bewildered.

What about gold?

"Mom, what happened? Why is the gold in the box gone? Did Weiguo come in and sort out some empty boxes?" Gu Baoguo asked Old Madam Gu.

Grandma Gu, however, did not think so. After all, the other boxes were full, so how could they be sorted?

So, without saying a word, she opened the box next to her again.

However, it was still empty.

At this moment, Old Mrs. Gu's face turned deathly pale.

"impossible!"

"How could this be? Why is this box empty too?"

"What exactly is going on?"

Grandma Gu refused to believe it and continued to open the other boxes.

The third, the fourth, the fifth, the tenth...

It's all empty.

Old Mrs. Gu's face was deathly pale, devoid of any color, and she muttered to herself, "Impossible, impossible, this can't be real!"

"No one can get into this cellar. It's impossible that anyone could have stolen our things!"

Gu Baoguo's face was also deathly pale. Even if he was dull-witted, he could tell that the family's property hidden in the cellar was gone and had been stolen.

Most importantly, they had absolutely no idea how they were stolen from, which is what's truly terrifying and despairing.

"No, Mom, Big Brother, why are you taking so long? We've all packed and are just waiting for you!"

What are you dawdling about here for?

Gu Weiguo walked in, his face full of anxiety.

Isn't it just about letting the two of them in to get some gold and valuable jewelry?

The results haven't come out yet, even after all this time.

Don't they know that time is of the essence?

If they had been a minute later, their fates might have been very different.

Grandma Gu trembled. As if she had found her pillar of support, she quickly looked at Gu Weiguo and cried out, "Weiguo, all our family property in the cellar is gone. These boxes are all empty. What happened?"

"Why are all these boxes empty? Where did all this wealth go?"

As soon as Grandma Gu spoke, Gu Weiguo's expression changed drastically. He rushed in and saw that more than a dozen boxes on the ground were open and all of them were empty.

There was nothing there.

How could this happen?

"Why are these boxes empty?"

"That doesn't make sense!"

Gu Weiguo's face was filled with disbelief.

He couldn't understand why the boxes were empty.

after all.

He came in a while ago and even opened the box to check; the contents were still there.

But now it's gone?

What's going on?

Grandma Gu cried, "Weiguo, I don't know either! I opened the box as soon as I came in and found it was empty!"

There's nothing there!

"Wei Guo, what exactly is going on?"

“We always carry the key with us and it has never left our bodies. Moreover, there are no signs that the lock has been pried open.”

"But now everything inside has vanished."

"Wei Guo, what should we do now?"
