The group had a history of petty theft, but burglary was a first for them!
Therefore, Lin Baozhu gave a few special instructions: "When you go inside, listen to my instructions. Don't act like you've never seen the sky before. Don't touch anything you shouldn't touch!"
"Don't worry, brother, we know what we're doing." The group nodded.
But what he was really thinking was, "Is this Lin Baozhu stupid?"
The Jiang family is so wealthy that they can easily take a couple of things out and spend a year or two on them.
Only a fool wouldn't steal!
Besides, they're already inside, so what difference does it make whether they steal one item or two?
If they get caught, won't they all end up in jail?
What can Lin Baozhu do if he disagrees? If he's so capable, he can go and report him.
Anyway, we're all in the same boat, so if we're going to die, we'll die together.
The group's ideas were all quite good, but Lin Baozhu was dumbfounded as soon as he entered the living room.
"What's wrong, brother?"
"I feel like something's missing from this room. I remember there was a TV here when I came last time."
"And here, there used to be an electric fan here!"
"Maybe they've put it away in their room. Let's not worry about that for now; finding our things is the priority."
The one-eared man was unimpressed and urged, "Third brother, hurry up and unlock it."
Upon hearing this, the tall man next to him immediately pulled out lock-picking tools from his bag.
"Alright! Bro, where's that girl's room?"
Lin Baozhu frowned, feeling that something was off, but he couldn't worry about that now. He pointed to Jiang Si's room and said, "Over there."
Within two or three minutes, the tall man opened the door.
Once inside the house, the group began rummaging through drawers and cabinets.
Before coming, Lin Baozhu was careful and only said that he wanted to find a kraft paper bag, about the size of a textbook.
He made no mention of what was inside.
When they searched for the first time, they were full of confidence.
There aren't many places to hide in the room. With five people and ten eyes, finding a cowhide bag is a piece of cake for them to catch!
When they looked for it a second time, the group began to have doubts.
This is unbelievable! Where did that brat hide it?
When they searched for the third time, they couldn't resist anymore.
"Brother, what exactly are you looking for? Could it be that she tore open the outer paper packaging?"
"Impossible!" Lin Baozhu immediately retorted.
If it's demolished, wouldn't he see the huge sum of money involved?
They searched the floor, the ceiling, and even the toilet tank—anywhere they could hide something.
Forget about the "Great Unity" (a unit of currency), we haven't even found a single penny!
Just then, the skinny monkey who was keeping watch outside suddenly shouted.
"Come quickly and take a look! The locks on these houses have all been broken!"
What?
It got smashed?
Lin Baozhu's heart tightened, and he quickly ran over.
Sure enough, these rooms had clearly been ransacked.
For some unknown reason, Lin Baozhu went straight to Shen Qingqing's room.
Among his cousins, Shen Qingqing lived the most comfortable life.
In this respect, even that girl from the Jiang family can't compare.
And now, everything in her house is gone!
Looking at the empty room, the one-eared man instantly bristled.
"Damn it! We've been watching it day and night for two days, and someone else snatched it away!"
"No wonder, we searched for ages but couldn't find anything."
"Damn it! If I find out who did this, I'll stab him to death!"
"Alright, keep your voice down."
The man with the scar on his face pondered for a moment, then asked about Lin Baozhu.
"Brother, what do we do now?"
"How should I know what to do!"
Lin Baozhu's mind was in turmoil; all he knew was that he was finished!
That's a huge sum of money! His aunt said she'd give him two thousand as soon as she got the money!
Now the money is gone, and all the things in the house are gone too!
The key question is, if he tells his aunt about this, will she believe him?
Will his aunt think that he secretly pocketed the money?
In all honesty, he hasn't found a single penny yet!
The others didn't know what Lin Baozhu was thinking, but they had been busy for two days, and they couldn't let him leave empty-handed!
The tall man coughed a few times.
"Since we're already here, we can't go back empty-handed. Why don't we all pick out something usable to take with us?"
"no!"
Lin Baozhu said with a stern face, "None of you are allowed to touch anything in the room."
If he makes a move, he'll be in deep trouble this time, even jumping into the Huangpu River won't clear his name!
The scarred man scoffed, "Brother, there's no point in talking like that."
“We brothers have been keeping watch with you for two days, doing jobs that could get us shot. You can’t expect us to work for nothing, can you?”
"That's right, we don't need to touch anything in the house, but you have to pay us for our hard work!"
The skinny monkey chimed in.
It was agreed at the time that everyone would receive one hundred!
It would have been better if they hadn't brought it up; the moment they did, Lin Baozhu's expression turned even uglier.
"What money? If you hadn't been so lax in your surveillance, would anyone have stolen anything from this house?"
"I'm already being lenient by not demanding payment from you, and you still have the nerve to ask for money!"
So you mean you're not going to give it to me?
"right--"
Before Lin Baozhu could finish speaking, the one-eared man punched him.
