When she heard about the investigation team, Aunt Wang became nervous again.
"Okay, okay, there's no time to waste. Come with me!"
Then Jiang Tangtang helped the aunt take the black cloth bag in her hand.
"Auntie, you lead the way. I'll hold this for you so you can walk faster. Time is of the essence."
"Okay, okay, then come quickly."
Her grip loosened a little, and Aunt Wang walked a little faster.
She took Jiang Tangtang around to the back mountain of their small villa. The main road gradually disappeared. After walking for a few minutes, they turned into a small road behind a stone wall.
It was obvious that the path had just been trampled out, and it had just rained, so it looked muddy, but the two of them didn't care about that and walked towards the pit, one step deep and one step shallow.
After walking along the path for more than ten minutes, I passed through a pear orchard planted by an unknown owner, and more and more people gathered around.
Judging from their faces, they were all neighbors near her home. After walking a few more steps forward, she finally arrived at the place.
Just as my aunt said, the place was hidden behind the garden. There was a big deep pit dug. Although it had rained, everyone had a serious look on their faces and no one cared about anyone else. They were all busy hiding things.
If no one leads me here, it would be really hard to find this place.
She walked forward and took a look into the deep pit. Unexpectedly, she saw her scumbag father hiding something in the pit.
It seems that all the treasures in the study upstairs and the basement were brought here by her scumbag father. No wonder she couldn't find them!
Those antiques were his grandfather's treasured collection, some of which had flowed out of the palace during the chaotic war. His grandfather cherished antiques and had spent a lot of time and money to collect them, saying that they were for his sisters.
It's hard to believe that they took so much trouble to hide things. They used burlap bags, each of which was tied tightly with a hemp rope, and the name of the bag's owner was written on the outside.
Just under Lu Zhicai, there were several sacks with his name on them. A rough count showed that there were at least five sacks. Jiang Tangtang stood in her position and noted the location based on the big tree next to her.
After remembering it, she let out a breath and returned the cloth bag to Aunt Wang.
"Aunt Wang, don't tell my dad that I was here. There are some things that my mom and grandpa secretly left for me. I don't want him to know, okay?"
They were all neighbors, and Aunt Wang knew something about the grievances in their families. At this time, she didn't want to cause trouble, lest there be internal strife in their family and she would be implicated.
Thinking of this, Aunt Wang nodded quickly.
"I know, don't worry, I won't tell you anything. Just bring it to me quietly if you have anything. If you're worried about your father finding out, you can hide it in my box. Don't worry, Auntie won't give it to you."
Jiang Tangtang responded with a smile as a thank you for Aunt Wang's kindness.
"Thank you, auntie. I don't have much stuff, so there's no need to bother. You go ahead and do your thing. I'll go home and pack up the things!"
After saying goodbye to Aunt Wang, Jiang Tangtang went home along the muddy path she had just come from.
After arriving home, she cautiously looked around outside, then leaned on the glass window and looked inside.
After making sure that no one was home, she quickly ran to the room, changed all her clothes, pants and shoes, and stuffed them into the space first.
Then I changed into clean clothes, pretended nothing had happened, and lay down on the bed to rest.
After a while, she heard some movement downstairs.
At first it was Lu Zhicai's footsteps, and soon the sound of a door opening and voices were heard.
Unfortunately, they deliberately spoke in low voices, and Jiang Tangtang couldn't hear them clearly, so she simply ignored them.
She knew they were going to run anyway, and since she couldn't stop them, she didn't bother trying to stop them to avoid getting herself into trouble.
After a while, she heard the sound of Lu Zhicai going upstairs. Listening to the footsteps, she guessed that he was going to the room and study.
The things in those two rooms had been taken away by Jiang Tangtang a long time ago, so there was definitely nothing in them.
After looking through the study, Lu Zhicai found that there was really nothing left. He scratched his head, feeling a little confused.
Logically, there should be some cash in the study, but he moved things around and only packed in some antiques, and he didn't even finish packing all the antiques.
Who took the cash?
Now even the large vases that were left on the shelves are gone, which makes me suspicious.
Everyone in the family had gone out, leaving only Jiang Tangtang, and he couldn't help but be suspicious.
After thinking for a while, he went straight to the door of Jiang Tangtang's room. After thinking it over again and again, he knocked on the door.
As soon as the door of the room opened, Jiang Tangtang immediately pretended to have just woken up and ran over to open the door.
"Dad? What do you want from me?"
She was still in her pajamas and didn't look like she had been out, but Lu Zhicai didn't give up and went into her room.
"Nothing, Dad just lost something and wanted to see if he had accidentally left it in your room."
As soon as he entered the room, he searched everywhere in the bedside table and wardrobe, but found nothing. He looked at Jiang Tangtang suspiciously.
"You slept all afternoon?"
This tone was full of doubt. Jiang Tangtang knew that he was suspicious, so she immediately said seriously: "I haven't slept for a whole day and night for my family. I just slept for a few hours and you woke me up..."
After saying this, she still looked aggrieved.
