Juanjuan, whose adoptive parents had died, was sold by her uncle for ten silver dollars into the Warlord's Mansion to bring good luck to the severely ill only son, Si Jinchen.
She thought...
Chapter 420 Strange Bank
The housekeeper looked at the cleaned yard and felt a little melancholy, as he felt that there was less and less he could do at home.
Fortunately, the phone rang, interrupting his wandering thoughts.
The person who answered the phone was Miao Long, who was looking for Jiu Ye.
The housekeeper gently knocked on Miao Jiu and Si Ning's room: "Master Jiu, there's a call for you."
Miao Jiu was a little annoyed. It was so hard for him to be free from his three naughty sons and finally be able to sleep with his sweet and soft wife in his arms.
As a result, I didn't get a good night's sleep for two consecutive days.
He didn't even want to respond to the knock on the door. He put his arms around Si Ning's waist from behind and buried his head in her neck.
"Get up. I'm calling you at this time, there must be something wrong." Si Ning turned to look at the childish Miao Jiu and kissed him on the lips.
He raised his hand again to tidy up his hair and smooth his fur.
Only then did Miao Jiu get up reluctantly.
"You'd better have something important to say, or I'll beat you up." This was the first thing he said when he picked up the phone.
Miao Long was also at a loss for words: "Master Jiu, some people came to the bank yesterday, and many of our brothers were injured."
"Hmm?" Miao Jiu's anger dissipated instantly: "Who is it?"
"We didn't catch anyone alive. After we caught them, they committed suicide by biting the poison in their mouths without hesitation." When Miao Long said this, he was afraid that he would suddenly get angry.
Miao Jiu was surprisingly calm: "Got it, clean up all the bodies."
"It has been cleaned up and the bloodstains have been cleared. Will the bank still be open for business today?" Miao Long asked after thinking for a while.
"It's operating normally. Mr. Si Er just bought this bank and closed it down. Isn't this going to cut off the source of income?"
"Take your men and keep a close watch on the clients who come and go. I suspect they might have some tricks up their sleeves."
"I'll go with Mr. Si Er to see what's going on with this bank." After giving the order, Miao Jiu hung up the phone.
Juanjuan and Si Jinchen both woke up.
As soon as they woke up, the triplets sleeping next to them also woke up, waving their arms and legs happily and babbling to greet them.
Juanjuan reached out and touched them one by one.
The triplets were so happy that they waved their arms and legs even faster.
Bailing brought the clothes over. Juanjuan and Si Jinchen were able to put on their own clothes. She was responsible for changing clothes and washing the triplets' faces.
Just as they finished dealing with one, Madam Si and Si Ning arrived. Together they tidied up the three children and took them to the kitchen for breakfast.
Ma Yang came to the room to help very early. The triplets were very nice to this brother who suddenly appeared in their home and never showed any disapproval.
Now Mayang finds it much easier to study in class than before. Even though some of the lessons are ones he has learned before, he still completes them very seriously.
Yan Anqing touched his beard with satisfaction. Although this child's talent was not as good as Si Jinchen, the most important thing was his hard work.
The saying "diligence can make up for lack of talent" is absolutely true.
Mayang today is the best example.
The triplets were well behaved, sitting on the rug by the fireplace or lying on Song Song's back while their older siblings went to class.
Or just lean on the soft body.
Or he would hold a hen in his left hand and a spotted chicken in his right hand, smiling like the silly son of a landlord.
After dinner, Si Ming heard Miao Jiu talk about the bank and felt that the bank might have some secrets.
He decided to go with the two of them and let Si Gu test Xiang Yutang's attitude to see if he was willing to serve the country.
Several people acted separately, and when they opened the car door, they saw a little guy inside, waving at them.
Siming, Sitian and Miao Jiu were all stunned for a moment.
"Juanjuan, why are you sitting in the car when you are not in class?" Si Ming looked at her and didn't know what to do.
"Dad, Juanjuan has finished class!" Juanjuan blinked his big innocent eyes.
Si Tian turned to look at Yan Anqing who was standing at the door of the study, only to see him waving his hand and asking him to take the girl away.
This girl seemed to have little nails on her butt today. She couldn't sit still for even a minute, which made the other kids unable to concentrate in class.
Anyway, I don’t expect this little guy to do anything in the future. As long as he can recognize words and not be cheated in the future, that’s enough.
Miao Jiu was the happiest. He got into the car and held Juanjuan on his lap. "Then let's go out and play with uncle."
"Okay!" Juanjuan agreed very quickly.
Si Ming glanced at Yan Anqing, and when he saw him nod, he got into the car.
Adjutant Qi and several others got into the car, then started the car and drove towards the gate.
Juanjuan also waved at the snowman in the yard.
The snowman in the yard clearly didn't move and didn't have any expression, but the people in the car could feel that the snowman was smiling and waving goodbye to them.
The people in the car were not afraid. Instead, they found the feeling quite magical. Although they had no expression, they could still feel it.
The car drove to the bank entrance.
This bank was built in a remote location and has always been unknown. There are relatively few customers coming to deposit and withdraw money on weekdays.
Si Tian sent someone to count all the deposit accounts yesterday, and now what they saw when they entered the office were the sorted account books.
Miao Jiu and Siming picked up a book at random and opened it. The more they read, the more strange it seemed to them. The bank's account had a fixed deposit every month.
The number of people taken out was indeed very small, and the names of these people were all from the Taisho Empire.
If it was a bank of the Taisho Empire, why would it be opened in such a place?
The more they looked at it, the more they felt something was amiss.
It seems strange that it can operate for so many years with such a deposit and withdrawal rate.
The three were checking the accounts when they heard a noise outside.
After a while, Miao Long came in and told a few people about the situation outside.
"Second Master, Governor, Ninth Master. The people from the Taisho Empire outside said they want to find the person in charge. They said that this bank didn't list its stocks on the stock exchange."
"He says the bank belongs to him, and he demands you return it to him. Otherwise, he'll go to the President to seek justice, accusing the Beiyang City warlord of forcing the sale."
Si Tian raised his eyebrows: "This is interesting. I went through the formal channels, and the exchange was not opened by me."
"Let him in. I want to see what evidence he has to accuse us of forced buying and selling."
The accountant took away all the account books, leaving only a few people sitting in the reception room.
Siming asked Juanjuan to sit next to him, fearing that there would be a conflict and these people would hurt her.
Soon, several respectable men dressed in suits and ties walked in.
Seeing Si Ming and Miao Jiu present, they felt a pang of fear in their hearts, but they still spoke in somewhat unstandard Mandarin: "General Si, Master Miao Jiu, Master Si Er, what is your intention in using such shady means to seize our assets?"
