"You...you knew all along?" Lu Minghua asked in disbelief.
His response was a hard slap from Ruan Yunxi, which made his mouth taste metallic and blood trickle from the corner of his mouth.
Ruan Yunxi said sarcastically, "That's right. I knew you wanted to eat up the family heirloom jade gourd when you were trying to coax me out of it."
Lu Minghua: "......."
"Then... then do you know the secret of the jade gourd?" Lu Minghua probed.
Ruan Yunxi feigned ignorance: "What secret?"
Lu Minghua secretly breathed a sigh of relief. With the jade gourd in his hands, he still had a chance. On the 15th, he could bind the jade gourd to him with a blood oath, and the space within it would be his.
When the time comes, he will store the hidden supplies into his spatial storage, and even if Ning Zhenzhen wants them, she will have to act according to his wishes.
Lu Minghua knew that it was better to have it himself than to have it from others. That's why, upon learning that Ruan Yunxi's jade gourd could open a resource space, he and Ning Zhenzhen immediately came up with this plan to exploit the family's resources.
He wanted to eat the spoils of the dead, and he also wanted the resources and space.
Unfortunately, his plan was about to fail, as the resource space had already been opened by the awakened Ruan Yunxi.
Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying and genuinely didn't know that the jade gourd could open a resource space, he immediately gave Ruan Yunxi a perfunctory answer: "Your jade gourd isn't jadeite, but Hetian jade."
Ruan Yunxi looked at him like he was an idiot: "Are you done talking?"
"Yunxi, you don't really want me to go to jail, do you?" At this moment, Lu Minghua still tried to appeal to Ruan Yunxi's emotions and coax her into being love-struck.
"Yes!" After all, she had already arranged a way out for Lu Minghua.
To be honest, going to jail isn't so bad.
Labor camps are much harder than going to the countryside; you also have to bear the label of a labor camp prisoner.
Lu Minghua: "......"
"Do you still want your 25 boxes of treasures back?" Lu Minghua tempted.
Ruan Yunxi wasn't buying it. All those treasures were in her space; how could he possibly take them from her space?
He doesn't have that ability.
Ruan Yunxi teased him deliberately, "I want it."
"If you want me out, let me out," Lu Minghua demanded.
Ruan Yunxi shrugged, looking helpless: "The police station isn't my home. I can't just tell you to get lost. I don't have that kind of power. Let Ning Zhenzhen bail you out. Anyway, I'm not going to bail out a scumbag."
Lu Minghua was heartbroken.
Ruan Yunxi proved to the police officers that she had not commissioned those items. The police officers knew that the father and son were trying to find someone to take the blame, saw through their scheme, and allowed the innocent Ruan Yunxi to leave the police station.
As for the father and son, the police officer looked serious and had a sharp look in his eyes: "Confess and you will be treated leniently; resist and you will be punished severely. Tell the truth!"
The arrested father and son: "......."
Lu's mother and Ning Zhenzhen didn't sleep all night. They waited and waited, but the father and son didn't come back. Ning Zhenzhen had a bad feeling and wanted to go to the dock to check.
Mrs. Lu said, "It's so dark outside, how could a young woman like you go out like that? They probably thought it was too late and stayed at the old house. They'll talk about it again when it's light tomorrow."
Ning Zhenzhen saw that there was no one outside the villa and dared not walk at night, so she could only wait for news at home.
Early the next morning, Ning Zhenzhen and Lu's mother went to the old house.
They went there only to find no one there; the keys to the old house had been left behind.
The two could only ride their bikes to the dock, where they learned that the police had come to the dock the night before and that they had been arrested and taken to the police station.
Mrs. Lu was so frightened that her vision went black and she almost fainted.
Ning Zhenzhen's face turned pale, and she was immediately at a loss: "What do we do now?"
