Aunt Zhang paused for a moment, then waved her hand, "I'm going to the restroom first."

As she was saying this, she tried to lock the door again, but Grandma Ming said, "Oh dear, you look so uncomfortable. Go on, I'll help you clean up. I'm free right now anyway."

Her job was actually quite leisurely; she would just wander around the garden every day, pretending to relax, and only return to the villa when the time was almost up.

After thinking about it, Zhang Ma agreed. Anyway, she often helped Grandma Ming with flower arranging, so it wouldn't seem awkward if they exchanged favors.

After Zhang Ma left with her hunched back, Grandma Ming slowly went in with a rag and a vacuum cleaner.

Once inside, she quickly grabbed a rag and started wiping here and there, soon finding the sandalwood box.

The box was locked, and she couldn't open it at all. In desperation, she simply hid the whole box in her pants pocket.

Luckily, she deliberately wore wide-legged pants with big pockets today.

A dozen minutes later, Granny Ming closed the door and hurried out. She didn't know if the servants had all left, because she didn't see anyone along the way.

Half an hour later, Granny Ming appeared at a teahouse.

The private room was filled with the aroma of tea, and Ding Ruoxu was brewing tea, his posture relaxed and elegant.

But when Granny Ming handed him the box as if it were a treasure, his eyes changed slightly, his hand holding the teapot trembled, and the scalding tea spilled out.

"Is this the Xie family's traditional Chinese medicine heritage?" Grandma Ming secretly sent him a message last night.

He could tell at a glance that the sandalwood box was an old treasure, the kind that could fetch a good price as an antique.

The lock on it is also antique, even stained with verdigris, looking as if it has not been opened for a long time.

Ding Ruoxu was quite certain that this was what he was looking for, which was wonderful!

Grandma Ming looked somewhat uneasy. "I stole it from Xie Li's room. Will they send someone to arrest me?"

Although the Xie family was about to go bankrupt, she knew Xie Li's personality better than anyone.

That's a little wolf cub. He looks quiet and unassuming, but he might bite you hard at any moment.

Ding Ruoxu paused for a moment, then suddenly received a message on his phone from the person he had sent to keep an eye on the Xie family. Sure enough, the Xie family quickly discovered that something was missing and immediately called the police.

His eyes darted around, and he suddenly looked at Grandma Ming with tender affection: "Mom, thank you so much for what happened this time. Here is 500,000. I really like this box, so please consider it a gift to me."

Grandma Ming saw the bank card and quickly took it into her hand: "But..."

"Don't worry, I'll reserve one of the houses for Xiaoxiao directly," Ding Ruoxu said with a smile. "I'll treat her like my daughter."

"But I have something to do now, so I'll have to go first. I'll contact you again when I have time." He said, then got up and walked out in a hurry.

Now that he has gotten his hands on this treasure, the Xie family can forget about taking it back!

He wanted to get the item out of Linjiang City before the Xie family and the police could react.

Grandma Ming followed behind him blankly, "Oh, what should I do then?"

The man in black behind Ding Ruoxu blocked her way. The man's aura was sinister and cold. Granny Ming was not an ignorant old woman from the countryside. She immediately sensed that this man's aura was strange. When she met his gaze, she shivered.

Ding Ruoxu glanced back at Granny Ming, impatiently saying, "What time is it now? You should just take the money and leave. Don't give the police or the Xie family any leverage. You know what you should and shouldn't say, right?"
