Hearing the noise outside the door, Yan Jing knew he definitely couldn't leave. Li Anmin was the police station chief, and if he was caught, it would probably not end well. He might end up losing more than he gained, not only failing to solve Lin Lidong's problem, but also adding to his troubles...
Many thoughts flashed through his mind, and Glasses reacted quickly. Looking at the layout of the house in front of him, he rushed into the storage room in two steps, hid behind the curtains in the corner, and hid among a pile of debris.
Just as the glasses were hidden, the door to the room opened and two people entered the room one after another. Wang Li's voice rang out, "I went to worship Buddha a few days ago. The monks in the temple said that we should be filial, respectful, loyal, and faithful, and do good deeds. As long as the cause and effect are right, the child will come naturally. In the future, you should do less of this kind of immoral things, and take less of this dirty money. Accumulate more blessings for yourself."
Li Anmin snorted and laughed, "Even the Goddess of Childbirth doesn't work, so what's the point of praying to Buddha? We live in a technological society now, you have to believe in science. The hospital's test results clearly show that we are too weak. If we take good care of ourselves, maybe the baby will come."
Besides, what immoral things have I done? If I didn't have these 'cakes' these years, with just that meager salary, how could you pray for blessings or accumulate merits? Forget having children, we would both starve to death!"
Wang Li took some vegetables out of the refrigerator and was about to cook, but when she heard this, she threw them into the sink. "Other people don't have this cake, and they also get this low salary, so why don't I see anyone starving to death? If you have money, go out and eat by yourself. I won't serve you anymore!"
After saying this, he sat down at the table, sulking with anger on his face.
Li Anmin immediately went over to comfort her, holding her shoulders and saying softly, "No matter how much money I make, it's all to give you a better life. Don't worry, I've already contacted the US. If we can't have a child this year, we can go abroad for IVF. With today's technology, the success rate is extremely high.
What you need to do now is to take good care of your body, don't get angry, and don't run around. That way, you can provide a healthy little cell to shape our eldest son!"
Glasses heard these words clearly and couldn't help but curse in his heart: "No wonder there is only one bed in such a big house. It seems that these old couple have no children at all!..."
After hearing this, Wang Li's eyes suddenly lit up and her expression relaxed a lot. She stood up and kissed Li Anmin on the face. The two seemed to be feeling aroused and they had a passionate moment right on the sofa in the living room.
As their age was factored in, the passion didn't last long. The fight was over in less than ten minutes. Then Wang Li got up and continued cooking, while Li Anmin carried the box of cake to the storage room.
The space in the corner where the glasses were located was very small, and he could only maintain a half-squatting position to completely hide his whole body behind the curtains. He originally wanted to leave quietly while the two of them finished their meal and went out for a walk or went into the house to rest, but he didn't expect that Li Anmin was still in good shape and his passion came back quickly.
After the two of them finally finished, Li Anmin came to the storage room again, only three meters away from him!
Glasses squatted with his toes numb. Looking at Li Anmin who was so close to him, he was even ready to attack him as soon as he got close, wanting to knock him out by surprise and then take the opportunity to escape.
But Li Anmin did not go near the window, nor did he even look towards the curtains. All his attention was focused on the cake box in front of him. He opened it bit by bit, only to see that what was inside was not a cake at all, but stacks of red hundred-dollar bills!
There were ten stacks of banknotes in the cake box. Li Anmin took them out one by one and placed them on the table next to him. Then he walked to the empty wall on the side of the storage room.
The wall was covered with wallpaper, a dazzling picture of thousands of butterflies and flowers. Li Anmin pressed hard on one of the butterflies. With a click, a hidden panel popped out from under the wall, and behind the panel was a large hidden compartment!
From the angle of his glasses, he couldn't see what was inside the secret compartment, but as Li Anmin placed the banknotes in piles, he had a rough idea in his mind and thought to himself, "It turns out that this old man looks honest and upright on the surface, but in fact he is a corrupt person at heart. He lives in such a shabby neighborhood, and his house actually harbours a secret!"
Li Anmin was busy at work when Wang Li appeared at the door with a shovel in her hand. She said softly, "Anmin, honestly, you really need to pay attention to what I just said. Doing good deeds is one thing, but the main thing is that I've been feeling uneasy lately, as if something big is about to happen.
Money is something that cannot be had too little, but too much can also be a disaster. You have to find the right measure for yourself.
Besides, it’s too unsafe to leave these things at home without even a lock.”
Li Anmin smiled slightly: "Lili, you are wrong. The more dangerous the place, the safer it is. No one would have thought that there is a secret hidden in this dilapidated old house.
"This kind of thing requires a certain level of discretion. As long as it's hidden, it's fine to leave it in the living room every day. But if it's discovered, even locking it up and storing it in a safe with multiple layers of storage won't do any good!"
As he spoke, he fastened the hidden plate back in place and checked to make sure it fit perfectly without leaving any marks. Then he stood up and hugged Wang Li in his arms: "Actually, there are many things I can't help myself, but don't worry, I'll stop after I finish Fang Yitian's case, so that I can concentrate on taking care of the children with you tomorrow!"
Wang Li twisted her body, but her face was full of smiles: "It's not certain whether we can have children, but you have a beautiful idea..."
After the two finished their meal, Wang Li went into the bedroom to rest, while Li Anmin sat in the living room watching TV until late at night before getting up to rest.
When it was late at night and people were gone, and he was sure that both of them had rested, Yan Jing finally dared to move his numb body. After adjusting for a while, he came out of his hiding place. Instead of opening the door and leaving directly, he came close to the wall and imitated Li Anmin to find the butterfly. He pressed hard and the hidden panel below popped open!
There was no light in the secret compartment, so Glasses turned on the flashlight function on his mobile phone, raised it up and shone it forward. He was immediately stunned to see that the small space was actually filled with stacks of hundred-yuan bills, densely packed and neatly arranged!
A quick glance shows that there are at least several million!
Next to a lot of cash, there is a palm-sized notebook, which records Li Anmin’s collection records for the past year. It clearly shows which case, which person, the specific amount and the collection date are involved. The level of detail is astonishing!
The amount recorded on the notebook is far different from the cash in the secret compartment. It is obvious that this is only the record of this year's receipts, temporarily placed here for easy recording. More records from previous years must have been placed elsewhere.
Looking at the contents of the notebook, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he sighed softly: "Director Li, Director Li, your wife is right, something big is really going to happen!"
