Chapter 682 The Passing of Time 47
Ghost kills with a dagger, so Wasp has to use a different tool. These two must be completely distinguished, otherwise they will give themselves away.
After fiddling around at home for a while to make sure I could run and jump without any problems even in high heels, I finally left the house.
Of course, she was also using an invisibility talisman at this time.
She took off the invisibility talisman after arriving in the west of the city and appeared outside the Chu family's gate in high heels.
The Chu family's gate was tightly shut.
Ning Yan removed the invisibility talisman, flipped over and jumped onto the courtyard wall, leaving a mark the size of a fingernail on the wall, but she didn't make a sound when she jumped down from the wall.
This was her first time visiting the Chu family, but there were advantages to being there for the first time.
She can amass a fortune.
Let's search each courtyard one by one.
It's a pity that this time we can only accept items that are easy to obtain and valuable.
The Chu family estate was very large, with courtyards all around, pavilions, flowing water, and a profusion of flowers and trees.
The Chu family members were all fast asleep in the middle of the night. Even if they weren't, it didn't matter. Ning Yan easily dealt with any one or two who woke up after hearing the noise with a single chop.
She was lucky; the first place she found was the courtyard of Chu Wu's eldest son.
The couple was sleeping soundly. Ning Yan, being a kind-hearted person, felt it wasn't right to disturb their sleep, so she took all the valuables from their room and left.
The second courtyard belonged to Concubine Chu Wu. She was probably not favored, as they didn't find anything valuable there, but they did manage to get over two hundred silver dollars.
This concubine hid things in a rather simple way; she just laid them under her pillow.
This is similar to the modern desire to wake up every day in a bed covered in money.
After entering several courtyards, they finally found Chu Wu in a secluded courtyard.
Don't ask her how she recognized him; this guy had been in the newspapers. Ning Yan had to go through all the newspapers in her house before making him her top target.
The old man is almost fifty and still won't stop. There were three people in the bed, the other two of whom looked quite young, at most seventeen or eighteen years old.
A Mitsubishi military dagger suddenly appeared in his hand.
The Mitsubishi military dagger pierced Chu Wu's forehead. The sleeping man, his mouth covered by Ning Yan, was awakened by the pain, and died in pain, unable to utter a sound, his eyes filled with fear.
Ning Yan sheathed her dagger, wiped the blood off the weapon on the bed, tidied up the room, left the words "Traitors will die - Wasp" on the wall, and then turned and left the secluded courtyard.
Next is the main courtyard.
The man surnamed Chu must be wealthy to support so many women; she can't let this trip be in vain.
Madam Chu's room was extremely luxurious, with exquisite furnishings everywhere. The paintings and calligraphy on the walls were all masterpieces, and even the most ordinary tables, chairs, and benches were made of the finest wood.
Ning Yan felt that she had come to the right place.
Make money, make money, make money.
Women typically hide money in a few places: on the bed, in their dressing case, and in their underwear.
Just to be on the safe side, let's administer the sleeping pills first. I hope Madam Chu can sleep peacefully tonight.
After using the sleeping potion, she began to search diligently and soon found the hidden compartment under Madam Chu's bed.
Pull open the partition and take out a large box, about two feet square.
The box had a brass lock hanging on it, which she easily pried open in a few tries. Inside, it was mostly filled with silver coins and a few loose small gold bars. However, there was some empty space inside, which meant that the coins had probably been used for other purposes.
Ning Yan put the things away first, and then continued searching.
That's not right.
The Chu family is a large and wealthy family, so it's impossible that they only have this much stuff. Besides, apart from silver dollars and gold bars, they have nothing else.
After digging and digging in the small room, Ning Yan finally found what she was looking for after pushing aside the soft couch.
The wall behind the soft couch had been hollowed out, and inside was a foot-long mahogany box. The box was locked, and when the lock was opened, there were several promissory notes on top, the exact number of which Ning Yan did not count. Underneath were all precious jewelry and ornaments.
Ning Yan put the box away, restored the wall to its original state, and quickly left.
Now all that's left is Chu Wu's personal savings.
Ning Yan went straight to the study in the front yard.
Even a study that's just for show is still a study; men like to hide things there.
They don't trust women and won't entrust their money to them.
The study is a man's private domain, and there's a 99% chance that valuable items will be there.
Chu Wu did not disappoint her.
Ning Yan found the secret room in Chu Wu's study. Unfortunately, she couldn't take all the antiques inside; she only took the cash and promissory notes.
After finishing all that, Ning Yan immediately climbed over the wall and left the Chu family's house. She then took out her car in the alley, drove it to the Chu family's door and left a mark before leaving.
There's no way around it; I used to do things without leaving a trace, but now I have to do the opposite.
...
Back home, Ning Yan took out her haul for the day and counted it.
The bank drafts totaled 230,000 silver dollars, along with some jewelry, but these were the most valuable items, which they would keep as heirlooms for their daughter and daughter-in-law.
There are 82 large gold bars and 53 small gold bars.
And then there are silver dollars.
There were a total of 3,217 pieces. The box should have originally contained 5,000 pieces.
Only when you're counting your money do you feel like you've really struck it rich.
That's a lot of money.
As she drifted off to sleep, clutching the ocean, Ning Yan felt as if she had forgotten something that day.
Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore, it's not important.
The man in the headquarters dungeon, who was still waiting for the lady's favor, kept his eyes open until dawn, but in the end, the person he was waiting for did not come.
Qiu Juncheng coughed up blood: ...After just one night, does Madam no longer care about him?
The next morning, Ning Yan hurriedly ate a couple of bites of the food Aunt Wang had prepared and then hailed a rickshaw to go to Director Luo's house.
On the way, a newsboy ran with a newspaper in hand, shouting, "Extra! Extra! The Battle of Songbei is about to break out! The most beautiful woman in Beiping is marrying into the Li family! Extra! Extra! Why is an eighty-year-old mother crying in the middle of the night? The Six Nations Hotel is hosting..."
When she arrived at the Luo family home again, Luo Siyuan was definitely not there. Madam Luo pulled her aside and comforted her, "Old Luo said he'll go to the headquarters today. He still has some influence in Kawasaki, so he should be able to find out some information. Don't worry."
Ning Yan was so moved that she kept wiping away tears. She said with her small handkerchief, "Sister-in-law, thank you and Director Luo. You know me, I'm from the countryside, and I was completely clueless when I encountered this kind of thing. If it weren't for your help, I really wouldn't know what to do!"
"Oh my goodness, you can't cry, it didn't help at all." The beauty shed tears. No wonder Xiao Qiu was so eager to marry her after just one meeting; she was too soft-hearted to resist.
Did you think Ning Yan wanted to cry? Isn't it just that in this situation, she needs to cry?
Madam Luo called out for a long time, saying that she had lost weight in the past two days and must not have been eating properly. She invited me to stay for lunch so that I could hear news from Director Luo.
Ning Yan had eaten at the Luo family's house before, so she agreed.
However, Luo Siyuan did not return at noon.
Chu Wu's affair has been exposed!
