Chapter 73 The Treasure is Gone (2/2)



Dean Hu said with certainty, "It's probably around that time. They're really shameless. Unfortunately, we have no evidence, we can't keep the gold, and we can't report it to the police. It looks like we can only suffer in silence!"

Jiang's mother panicked: "What should we do? How can we get your brother-in-law and niece out without gold bars?"

Seeing the distraught and helpless Jiang's mother, Dean Hu felt sorry for her. Considering the sibling bond he had formed when his sister took care of him as a child, Dean Hu said, "I have some money on hand. I'll lend it to you. You can pay me back when you have it later."

"Okay, thanks, brother!" As long as she can get the gold bars out of trouble, whether she lends them or not doesn't matter, since she doesn't plan to pay them back anyway.

They're siblings, why are you talking about lending them money?

Unaware of his sister's thoughts, Dean Hu returned to his residence and took thirty small yellow croakers.

When taking the items from the secret room, I glanced at the things that couldn't be brought to light in the room, and only left after confirming that there was nothing amiss.

After leaving the secret room, he carefully checked again to make sure he wouldn't be easily discovered before taking thirty small yellow croakers to pick up his sister and go to the fishing committee to rescue people.

As soon as they left, Ruan Yunxi appeared, putting the bankbook and household registration book back in their places, as if she had never left this home.

After doing all this, Ruan Yunxi did not leave immediately. Instead, she found a secluded spot to hide, waiting for Jiang Mingyue and her family to come out of the triage committee looking disheveled and unkempt. Ruan Yunxi was ready to make their family's life a complete mess.

Sure enough, Jiang Mingyue's family, who were successfully rescued, were fine at first. After a while, when Jiang Weisong thanked Dean Hu and was about to go check on his belongings, his mother stopped him, saying, "Don't worry, everything is still here!"

Seeing her like this, Jiang Weisong understood everything.

Something must have happened.

He immediately went to the apple tree and dug up the place where the treasure was buried, finding three empty boxes.

Jiang Weisong became agitated: "Where are the things inside?"

Jiang's mother was so frightened that she could no longer hide it and told Jiang Weisong what had happened. Jiang Weisong was devastated: "No...it's impossible. How could they have found out in just one night?"

As if remembering something, he pointed at Dean Hu: "Was it you? Was it you who was greedy for money and instigated your sister to take all of the Jiang family's things away?"

Dean Hu, enraged, retorted, "What nonsense are you spouting? I even lent you thirty gold bars!"

"What loan? Our Jiang family's treasures are worth countless thirty-bar gold bars." He sneered, "Those thirty bars were probably taken from my stash of gold bars!"

"Brother-in-law, you need to provide evidence for your statements!" Dean Hu refused to accept this injustice.

Jiang Weisong wouldn't listen at all. He regretted it. He shouldn't have told his mother the location of the buried treasure. He and his sister were of one mind and plotted against him. He was too stupid and fell into their trap: "Very good. You two siblings have really impressed me!"

"Forget about the big and small yellow croakers, but give me back my box of old things. They're family heirlooms. You can't use them, and they're worthless. I can overlook the rest!" Jiang Weisong said, using a strategy of retreat to advance.

Jiang's mother explained, "I really didn't take it."

"The item isn't with me," Dean Hu stated.

"You... at this point, are you trying to force me to my death?" Jiang Weisong was furious: "You... you're very good!"

As he spoke, Jiang Weisong couldn't catch his breath and collapsed straight down.

Jiang Mingyue screamed in despair, "Dad!"

Dean Hu couldn't worry about anything else; he could only save lives.

Jiang's mother was so frightened that she trembled and couldn't even cry.

Ruan Yunxi felt incredibly satisfied listening to their family's wailing and howling, as if someone was about to die.

In particular, when Jiang Weisong was sent to the hospital for treatment, Jiang's mother, who had no money, went to the drawer to get some money, only to find that she didn't have a single penny.

Jiang's mother: "......"

There was clearly about a hundred yuan left, how did it all disappear?

Without bothering to find change, Jiang's mother knew that their family had a savings account, and they could just take their household registration book to withdraw the money.

I opened the passbook and saw that the number on it had dropped to zero.

Mrs. Jiang was dumbfounded: "The money... the money was taken away???"
