The young couple left Wang Dawei's courtyard nimbly. As for the bicycle they had ridden, they left it at the entrance of the police station. Taking advantage of the fact that the police officers were not paying attention to them, the young couple ran away in a swarm.
Wang Dawei went to the restroom and came out to check the time. It was already time to go to work. He planned to ride his bike to the office to see whose house he would go to this afternoon to coerce or scare those damned capitalists and people with questionable morals.
We'll squeeze out whatever little bit we can, since those people aren't honest!
To everyone's surprise, the dilapidated bicycle parked in the yard had disappeared.
Wang Dawei was dumbfounded: "I parked right here!"
After confirming that he hadn't seen it, Wang Dawei was in a hurry to get to work and planned to ride another bicycle. He had at least eight or ten bicycles collected from his home, so even if one was lost, he could still get another. He wasn't bothered by the loss.
When they opened the warehouse door, they found that the seven or eight bicycles that were parked inside were gone.
Wang Dawei blinked, even turning on the light, to make sure he wasn't blind; the person had really disappeared.
Wang Dawei's heart sank. He remembered something and went to check his stash of small and large yellow croakers, other gold and silver jewelry, antiques, paintings, and the valuable bottles, jars, bowls, and ornaments he'd looted from Beale Street...
When I opened the cellar door and went down, I almost tripped and fell.
He dug a very wide cellar, which was packed full just ten minutes ago. He put ten small yellow croakers in it, and now it's all visible.
Empty.
It's all empty.
His small yellow croakers, large yellow croakers, and all the treasures he plundered are gone!
All gone!
Wang Dawei clutched his chest, almost unable to catch his breath. He stared in disbelief at the completely emptied cellar, pinched himself, and it hurt!
It really hurts!
It's not a dream.
His cellar had been emptied!
"Who???" Wang Dawei couldn't believe it. His treasures, gold bars, and other valuables—the wealth he had amassed over the years—were all gone.
Overwhelmed with rage and anger, Wang Dawei suffered a stroke, his vision blurred, and he collapsed against the wooden ladder in the cellar.
When Wang Dawei's wife returned home from get off work and found the house completely emptied, with all the pots and pans gone, she thought he had come to his senses and was going to surprise her with a gold bar if they lived in a tenement building. So she had his men move the house while she was at work.
When I went to their workplace to look for him, I found out that Wang Dawei hadn't gone to work that afternoon.
He hasn't shown up since leaving in the morning.
Wang Dawei's wife had a bad feeling and immediately went back to the cellar to check if Wang Dawei had noticed something was wrong and run away with all the family property, abandoning her and the children.
When they arrived at the cellar, they saw Wang Dawei lying unconscious inside. Wang Dawei's wife cried and wailed, calling everyone around her. With the help of the neighbors, Wang Dawei was carried out of the cellar and taken to the hospital, where he was barely clinging to life.
The doctor concluded that the person had suffered a stroke and was paralyzed; they were still alive, but unable to take care of themselves and required assistance.
Wang Dawei's wife's world has collapsed!
When Wang Dawei woke up, his mouth was crooked, his eyes were squinting, and he was drooling. He was babbling in a language that they couldn't understand.
Looking at his disdainful wife and useless children, and then at himself in the mirror, Wang Dawei knew that his life was over.
How did all his treasures, those big and small yellow croakers, get taken away in the blink of an eye?
Did he offend someone?
Did they invite a household spirit to intervene?
Who is it? Who is so despicable?
