Chapter 236 I'm just here to take back what's rightfully mine.
Cen Yan went straight to the second bedroom!
Although it's unclear why Shan Jianhua and his wife treat Shan Xianxian so well, even making their own son sleep on the sofa, she hasn't been here to investigate a case recently.
Instead, they came to reclaim what belonged to them.
"Cen Yan! Why are you going into someone else's house? What are you trying to do?"
Standing by the wall, Ji Moliang waited for a long time but Cen Yan didn't appear. He only heard the sound of the door opening and closing inside, and he immediately became anxious.
Without thinking too much, they quickly climbed over the wall and arrived at Shan Jianhua's house.
Upon entering the house, I saw Cen Yan wearing gloves, rummaging through the drawers in the master bedroom.
Every move he made made Ji Moliang's blood run cold.
"Stop!" He stepped forward, grabbed Cen Yan, and questioned her in a low voice, "How could you do such a thing?"
"Who told you I came here to steal?"
Cen Yan raised an eyebrow, shook off Ji Moliang, and took out a gold bracelet and a jade bracelet from her pocket.
Then, from a box on the dressing table in the master bedroom, she took out another gold bracelet and a jade bracelet and held them up in front of Ji Moliang.
"Weren't you curious about my relationship with Shan Xianxian, what grudge I held against her, and why I wanted to dig up all her secrets? Look, do you see these? The bracelets Shan Xianxian gave away are a pair with the two I have here. They were my mother's dowry, her keepsakes. Shan Xianxian stole them."
Before Ji Moliang came in, she searched the second bedroom where Shan Xianxian lived and successfully found the things that her mother had lost from her dowry list and had not been put into her space in the suitcase.
Unlike money that can be deposited in a bank, she guessed that the missing items must be in Shan Xianxian's possession, and that she carried them with her at all times.
That's why he took the risk of scaling the wall to enter Shan Jianhua's house and search for where Shan Xianxian lived.
Sure enough, in Shan Xianxian's suitcase, she found the gold and silver jewelry that was missing from her mother's dowry list, and in the dressing table in the master bedroom, she also found two other matching pieces.
As for the other items that weren't of such high quality, Cen Yan wasn't sure if they had been disposed of by Shan Xianxian and used as travel expenses to bribe officials.
However, now that she can get back the jewelry worth over 100,000 yuan, she can slowly settle accounts with Shan Xianxian regarding the other cash and jewelry.
Sooner or later, this bastard will have to give back everything that belongs to the Cen family!
She was simply taking back what belonged to her; it doesn't count as theft!
Ji Moliang opened his mouth, but he wouldn't easily believe Cen Yan's words. "You say this is yours, so it is. I'm not a fool who would easily believe others. Put it down and come with me..."
"Comrade Jimo, since you're not stupid, think about it carefully. This couple isn't from a capitalist family like me. With Shan Jianhua's meager salary, where would they get the money to buy a jade bracelet worth tens of thousands of yuan and a gold bracelet worth several hundred or thousands of yuan?"
Ji Mo Liang was speechless. Yes, Shan Jianhua's family was worse off than Ji Mo's family. How could they possibly spend money to buy such an expensive item? Either the item was stolen, or it was obtained through embezzlement and bribery.
If it were the latter, Shan Jianhua would have been investigated long ago for such a large sum of money. There is only one explanation: as Cen Yan said, Shan Xianxian stole the items. No wonder Cen Yan hates her so much that she would break into the house to get the items back.
"Are you sure you came to the Shan family just to take back what belongs to you? And you didn't take anything else?" Ji Moliang looked at Cen Yan warily.
Cen Yan slowly raised three fingers. "I swear in the name of my deceased elders that I am absolutely not here to steal anything."
"Then I'll believe you for now. If I find out you're lying, I'll definitely report you myself!" Ji Moliang said. "Are there any other things of yours in this jewelry box?"
