Chapter 24 Unexpected Fortune!
Could you leave me your contact information?
Judging from what the train police officer said, does this mean they'll be rewarding people for their good deeds in the future?
However, Jiang Si didn't care much about this. She was already quite satisfied that she could be arranged to stay in a soft sleeper compartment.
After a good night's sleep, the train arrived at its final destination – Guangzhou – around 6 p.m. the next day!
Jiang Si first informed her third uncle that she was safe, and then found a guesthouse nearby to rest for the night.
The next morning, Jiang Si took a car to a place called Liujiawan in the suburbs.
In the original book, Liu Dajiang and Liu Dahe, who helped their scumbag father handle the family property matters, were native to Liujiawan.
The two brothers have lived a fairly comfortable life under Shen Xiuwen's care over the years.
So several years ago, they built two large brick and tile houses side by side in the village.
The yard alone is several hundred square meters!
All I can say is that God is quite kind to her.
When Jiang Si arrived, the Liu brothers were not at home.
After observing the surroundings and confirming that there were no villagers nearby, Jiang Si took out a ladder from her spatial storage.
Before long, she found the antique furniture and decorative items that her scumbag father had brought over in the house on the left...
There were more than 200 boxes in total, of all sizes!
Looking at the Jiang family's ancestral property that had been lost and then recovered, Jiang Si breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as she was about to put these things into her spatial storage, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, indicating that quite a few people were coming.
Soon, Liu Dajiang, the eldest brother of the Liu family, went into the house, carried a box of things, and went to the main room outside.
"Mr. Cheng, no matter how well I describe the product, it's useless. You know better than us. Take a look first, and then we'll talk about the price."
A moment later, another male voice rang out.
"Not bad, it's good stuff."
"That's for sure, these are all ancestral properties of the Jiang family in Shanghai."
Liu Dajiang said, "Boss Cheng, we don't want much, just HKD 100,000! If it's okay, you can take these things away now."
HK$100,000 sounds like a lot, but besides the large antique furniture pieces, there are more than two hundred boxes of other items here.
All together, this huge box only costs 500 yuan.
Boss Cheng made a killing on this business!
But the man just smiled and said, "Brother, if this were two years ago, let alone 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, even if it were doubled, I wouldn't even bother to haggle."
"But you all know the state of the world now."
“These things are not comparable to gold bars. It’s not easy to move them, and it’s even harder to say when they can be converted into cash.”
"I'm not going to play games with you. How about this, let's each compromise, HKD 50,000 is fine?"
"If that's okay, I'll get the money for you right now."
"Mr. Cheng, are you kidding me?"
The second son of the Liu family was the type to say whatever came to mind, and he spoke frankly.
"You were the one who said that as long as the product is good, the price is not an issue, which is why we agreed to let you come and inspect the goods."
"And now you've done this damn thing!"
"Isn't this just making a fool of us brothers?"
"Also, who haggles down by half in one go?"
The eldest brother, Liu, shared the same idea, but the two brothers were used to one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop.
Seeing that Boss Cheng's expression darkened slightly, he quickly tried to smooth things over.
“Mr. Cheng, my brother is just a straightforward person. He says whatever comes to mind, so please don’t take offense.”
"As for the price you just mentioned, it's far too low..."
The man interrupted him at this moment, "Don't worry about the price, I'm curious about something right now."
The two brothers were completely bewildered by his nonsensical words.
"Mr. Cheng, what are you curious about?"
The man didn't rush to speak, but instead sized up Liu Lao Er with the eyes of someone looking at prey.
"What exactly does it mean to be straightforward?"
Upon hearing this, the Liu brothers felt a sudden jolt in their hearts.
Only then did Liu Lao Er realize that several burly men had appeared behind him.
Before he could speak, a sharp pain suddenly shot through his abdomen, and the person behind him covered his mouth.
The next second, the military dagger slid quickly down his belly in a semi-circle.
Suddenly, the contents of his stomach flowed out, and Liu Lao Er, realizing what had happened, was filled with fear.
Before his consciousness faded, he only heard this one sentence.
"Brother, you're being way too dishonest. You said you'd be straightforward, but he's not straightforward at all!"
"How about we check if yours is straight?"
"madman!"
"Cheng Jinting, you madman...you'd better give me your life!"
Boss Liu had barely uttered a shout when the man's henchmen snapped his neck with a snap.
At this moment, Jiang Si, who had witnessed the entire murder, was speechless.
She couldn't even remember where their conversation had started to fall apart.
How did a disagreement escalate to the point of murder?
Also, the name Cheng Jinting felt strangely familiar to her, as if she had heard it somewhere before...
At that moment, the man's cold voice rang out again.
"Pack your things, a car will come to pick you up in half an hour."
"Everyone, have a good meal and drinks today. We'll set off right after midnight the day after tomorrow."
"Once we return to Taicheng, each person will receive an extra 10 large yellow croakers as a reward."
Upon hearing that there would be a reward, the men who had just made the move immediately smiled.
The group cupped their hands and smiled, "Thank you, young master."
Perhaps the words "young master" gave Jiang Si a slight jolt, and a few images instantly flashed through her mind.
This person seems to be the son of the second hall master who had a falling out with the third uncle before?
That's right, it's him!
Back when Third Uncle founded the 'Grand Canal Gang', there were actually several branch hall masters under him, but they were in charge of different areas.
Later, due to differences in ideology, the second leader, Cheng Limin, chose to leave the gang.
Back in 1954, Cheng Limin led a group of followers to Taicheng and founded his own gang there.
It was just a gang, nothing serious.
The problem is that while the Cheng family enjoys the enormous assets they plundered from the mainland, they are engaging in traitorous acts of selling out their country for personal gain—they are nothing but big green toads!
Jiang Si, who had originally thought it was better to avoid trouble, immediately changed her mind.
While the others were dealing with the corpses outside, Jiang Si picked out a large box and stored its contents in her spatial storage.
He then lay down inside the box.
Fortunately, the scumbag father was worried that the jade and porcelain items might break, so he made sure to stuff each box with thick cotton when packing them.
Lying inside wasn't uncomfortable at all.
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Si felt the box being lifted into the air and placed on the car.
After more than an hour of bumpy travel, the boxes, along with Jiang Si, were all transported to a small cargo ship docked at a nearby pier.
When everything was quiet and no sound could be heard, Jiang Si cautiously peeked out of the box.
!!
Despite having mentally prepared herself, Jiang Si was still so shocked by the sight of the warehouse crammed full that she couldn't utter a single word.
Even if wealthy families abscond, they are extremely meticulous in packing up their assets.
Aside from the material of the boxes, each family will stamp specific patterns or symbols on the boxes.
Just like the boxes in your own home, each one has a traditional Chinese character for "ginger" on it.
Here, Jiang Si glanced at it briefly and found more than ten different marks...
This means that... they killed at least a dozen, or even more, companies in the same way!
Thinking of this, Jiang Si wished she could pack all these people up and throw them into the open sea to feed the fish, but in the end she held back.
What's the point of killing these small fry? They'll keep sending people over whenever they want.
This approach does not solve the fundamental problem.
Instead, we should leave a clue for the police; perhaps they can follow the trail and bring all these people to justice.
Of course, there is another reason.
For someone like Jiang Si, who was "born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze," it was simply impossible for her to end someone's life without any psychological burden.
After thinking it through, Jiang Si didn't dwell on it too much.
She hasn't figured out what to do with these things yet, but that doesn't stop her from putting them into her spatial storage for now.
Those belonging to the Jiang family were received separately by Jiang Si.
She found an empty space in the space and stored the rest away separately.
After all the contents had been removed and only empty boxes remained in the cargo hold, Jiang Si quietly crept onto the deck.
She originally intended to leave directly, but when she saw that the thugs in the cabin were already drunk and unconscious, and there was a radio in the wheelhouse, Jiang Si changed her mind once again.
In those days, to avoid signal leakage, radio stations would remain powered off during non-communication hours.
The first thing Jiang Si did was to connect the radio to electricity.
Thanks to this, schools popularize radio knowledge, and there are daily courses to practice radio broadcasting.
[Important note: This is based on authentic historical materials; images will be added later.]
The second thing Jiang Si did was to tune the telegram to a specific frequency and then send out an ambiguous message.
It went on for more than ten minutes.
Jiang Si smiled with satisfaction, then turned and disembarked from the cargo ship without looking back.
