Chapter 10: Emptying the Two Ships of Treasures from the Scumbag Dad
night
"Mom, this quilt smells musty!" Liu Qingqing pinched the corner of the quilt with two fingers in disgust, as if pinching something dirty: "There are fleas... Look!"
She shook the quilt exaggeratedly, as if this could shake off the musty smell and fleas.
After her house was ransacked, Cao Jing scraped together some supplies during the day and finally managed to get two quilts to spread on the floor so she could at least sleep comfortably.
But even this moldy bedding had no place for Chen Zhaoyue.
"I know," Cao Jing rubbed her temples tiredly, "but just make do with two days. Once we get on the boat..."
She suddenly fell silent in the middle of her speech and looked around vigilantly, as if afraid of being heard.
Ever since her house was burglarized, she always felt that someone was watching them from the dark.
"..." Liu Qingqing pouted and lay down reluctantly, but immediately jumped up again: "Ah ...
She scratched her arm, a rash breaking out on her fair skin.
"Stop it!" Liu Hongyang suddenly shouted.
After a stressful day, he finally had a chance to rest, but Liu Qingqing was still so noisy. Her sharp voice made his head buzz and made him feel irritated.
Liu Qingqing was yelled at and shut up in grievance. She looked at the bedding on the ground and hesitated for a long time. In the end, she did not lie down on it, but slept on the floor instead.
After experiencing a series of misfortunes, the three people from the Liu family were already exhausted and soon fell into a deep sleep.
…
Late at night, when everyone was asleep, Chen Zhaoyue, who was dozing on the ground, opened his eyes, his vision clear.
Looking at the other three people who were snoring in their sleep, Chen Zhaoyue gave them a sleeping acupuncture needle and then slipped out of the house quietly.
The summer night wind carried a damp, salty smell, and a few dim lights were lit sporadically on the pier.
Several dark shadows were loading the ship in the distance, their movements furtively. It was obvious that they had the same idea as Liu Hongyang.
Shen Zhaoyue took a look, hid under the cover of night, and searched for the Shen family's boat at the dock.
The Shen family had bought two ships for business before, and there were markings on the ships. In order to avoid being discovered when renting a ship, Liu Hongyang directly used the Shen family's ship, which made it easier for Shen Zhaoyue to find it.
It was late at night, and the two night watchmen hired by Liu Hongyang were dozing off on the pile of ropes at the bow of the ship.
Chen Zhaoyue had a slender figure and nimble movements. She easily avoided the guards and successfully reached the deck.
The cargo hold was filled with a mixture of tung oil and musty odors.
With the moonlight shining through the porthole, Chen Zhaoyue saw the neatly stacked camphorwood boxes.
She opened the nearest box, and the gold bars gleamed in the darkness, making her squint.
“They are all here…” Chen Zhaoyue’s fingers gently stroked the gold bars.
These were all the hard work of her grandfather, but they were all taken away by the ungrateful Liu Hongyang, leaving not even a single golden bean for the original owner, a true member of the Shen family.
They even sent the original owner to the countryside, leading to such a tragic ending.
"You are really greedy!" Shen Zhaoyue sneered, without any psychological burden about what he was going to do next.
Since she has traveled through time, she naturally has to take back these things that belonged to the original owners.
"receive."
The jade bracelet glowed faintly, and boxes of gold, silver and jewelry disappeared one after another.
After a ship was packed up, Shen Zhaoyue looked at the cabin which was still full but the boxes were completely empty, and a sly smile appeared on his lips.
When Liu Hongyang saw it again, he was probably about to collapse.
First, the house was robbed and everything was emptied out. Now even the two boats of property have been swept away. When Liu Hongyang saw this, he felt like the sky was falling!
After a while, Chen Zhaoyue sneaked into another ship again and took away all the gold, silver and treasures in the cabin, leaving only empty boxes.
"Hey, Big Head, wake up, wake up quickly!" A low shout suddenly came from the deck.
"?" Chen Zhaoyue paused as he was about to leave, leaning against the cabin wall and holding his breath.
One of the guards who was dozing off just now suddenly woke up.
"Hmm...what's wrong?" The one called Big Head was woken up and seemed a little dazed, his voice still carrying the confusion of just waking up.
"I seemed to hear some movement down there just now!" The man's voice was nervous.
Chen Zhaoyue stopped immediately.
Footsteps were heard outside, approaching from far away, accompanied by complaints from the person who was woken up: "It's the middle of the night, what could happen..."
Before he could finish his words, he yawned lazily.
"Don't be careless. Boss Liu specifically told us to be careful today!" Another person spoke, his voice getting closer and closer. "Go get a flashlight, let's go down and take a look!"
Chen Zhaoyue narrowed his eyes slightly.
Liu Hongyang, the scumbag father, was cautious, but it was too late.
As soon as she thought about it, she disappeared from the spot in an instant.
Squeak——
The moment the cargo door was pushed open, a dazzling flashlight swept across, just passing by the place where she had just stood.
"Strange, I clearly heard a sound just now..." The tall and thin man who shouted to come and check waved the flashlight suspiciously, and the beam swept back and forth in the empty cargo hold.
Even the ceiling was not spared.
"You're crazy! How can you stick a person on this ceiling?" The short and fat man who was woken up complained dissatisfiedly, with sleepiness still visible between his eyebrows. "Look carefully, where is the person? You are just too nervous and scared yourself."
Being woken up from a nap, I naturally feel bad.
"Boss Liu just gave us that little money, so we can just deal with it. Are you really going to stay with him all night? Besides, what could happen in the middle of the night?" The short and fat man said, rubbing his sleepy eyes.
"Maybe Boss Liu can give us a little tip." The tall, thin man was still a little worried. He raised his flashlight and walked around the cabin again. The beam swept across the unmoved camphorwood boxes, and his tense expression finally relaxed a little. "The boxes are all there, everything should be fine."
"That's right!" The short and fat man sneered and patted the large wooden box beside him. "With this weight, it's hard to move even one. Who can move so many boxes without anyone noticing?"
Even though he was attracted by the items, he only dared to touch one or two of them.
Anyway, there are a lot of things here, and Liu Hongyang won't count them one by one, so it won't be noticeable if one or two items are missing.
But he never imagined that there happened to be a Chen Zhaoyue in this world with a golden finger, who actually moved away without anyone noticing!
"Alright, alright, go back quickly and take a nap." The short and fat man urged impatiently and yawned loudly again.
"Wait..." The tall and thin man hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let's go to the other ship and take a look."
As he said that, he walked out of the cabin.
"Tsk, what a trouble!" The short and fat man followed behind, muttering to himself, and was very dissatisfied with the tall and thin man's decision.
As the two left, the cabin returned to silence.
The moonlight shone through the porthole onto the boxes that seemed intact.
No one would have thought that these seemingly heavy boxes were actually empty.
"Liu Hongyang, you really found two 'capable' assistants!" Chen Zhaoyue slowly came out of the space.
Thanks to these two irresponsible night watchmen, if they had opened the box and taken a look, there would have been no peace tonight.
She had other plans, and it would be better if she was discovered later.
After peace returned outside, Shen Zhaoyue slipped out of the cabin and rushed back to the Shen family.
Liu Hongyang and Cao Jing were still sleeping soundly on the floor. Liu Qingqing curled up beside the musty-smelling bedding, with tear marks on her face and her brows tightly furrowed.
She stepped forward and removed the silver needles from the necks of the three of them, then tiptoed back to her room and slipped into the space.
She doesn't want to sleep on the hard floor!
As soon as Shen Zhaoyue entered the villa, she threw herself on the two-meter bed in the space. The cool and smooth touch of the silk sheets made her sigh comfortably.
This is the bed she should sleep in!
