With Qin Yiping being so ruthless, it's no wonder he's managed to amass so much wealth in just over three years.
Xu Ningyan gripped the notebook tightly in her hand. This was excellent evidence, and she had to get it to the right people.
However, before that, she still had a backup plan. She took out the phone she had stored in her space and snapped a bunch of pictures.
After securing the evidence, Xu Ningyan checked the records in her notebook, separated all the valuables Qin Yiping had received, and then looked at the records of Qin Yiping's gifts, pulling those items out from the list of received valuables, emphasizing the importance of strictly adhering to the records.
After checking everything again, he left the remaining items in the coffin in his spatial storage, and put the financial documents he had just sifted out based on the notes in the notebook, along with the notebook itself, back into the coffin.
Only then were the two coffins put back into the grave.
So, after she passed on the message, the Revolutionary Committee came and found the two coffins. The contents inside were almost exactly what was recorded in the notebook.
As for things that weren't recorded, who knows?
At the very least, Qin Yiping wouldn't be foolish enough to ask where the things went, right? He should know that the more things there are, the heavier the punishment!
Anyway, it's ill-gotten gains. Even if we keep it, it will only benefit those people in the Revolutionary Committee. It's better to let her have it!
After putting everything away, Xu Ningyan put the stone slab back on, put the loose stones that had rolled to the side back in their original positions, and carefully checked everything to make sure there were no mistakes. Then she clapped her hands, took out a broom from her spatial storage, swept away the dust and dirt, wiped away her own traces, and turned to leave.
On the way back, Xu Ningyan was in a great mood. No wonder there's an old saying that a man can't get rich without unexpected wealth, and a horse can't get fat without night grass!
This trip was definitely worthwhile! It's like a windfall!
Having suddenly become rich, Xu Ningyan decided to treat himself tonight for his hard work in digging up someone else's grave. On the way, he went to the black market and bought a young rooster. The young rooster had just started crowing this year, so the meat was the most tender. After slaughtering it, he would stir-fry it and make it the most delicious.
They unexpectedly ran into Sun Zhou. The two hadn't seen each other for a long time. Upon seeing him, Xu Ningyan casually invited Sun Zhou to dinner.
Sun Zhou, with his stubble and dark circles under his eyes, immediately agreed when he heard that Xu Ningyan was inviting him to dinner.
He knew he had a big appetite and had been working himself to the bone lately, so going to Xu Ningyan's house for a meal was like taking a tonic. Given his friendship with Gu Zhiyuan, he wouldn't stand on ceremony.
After giving the order, a subordinate brought over a piece of meat, a fish, and some dried goods, and handed them to Xu Ningyan, saying that it was a meal for them.
Xu Ningyan didn't stand on ceremony, took the bicycle, hung it on the handlebars, told Sun Zhou to come for dinner early, and rode away.
Sun Zhou watched Xu Ningyan's departing figure, shook his head, and couldn't help but envy Gu Zhiyuan.
Why did such a tender young woman fall for that clueless old ox, Gu Zhiyuan? Sun Zhou isn't bad either! It's true what they say, people of the same age have different fates!
Putting everything else aside, he's so busy with this major event that he doesn't even have time to sleep.
Gu Zhiyuan, that guy, goes to get off work and comes home every day, and someone cooks delicious food for him. It's so enviable!
Tonight he decided to eat more to soothe his trauma.
It was still early when they got home. Xu Ningyan boiled water to kill the chicken and pluck its feathers. She collected the chicken blood in a bowl, which contained a little bit of salted water. It soon coagulated into a lump.
A small rooster, after being slaughtered and plucked, weighs only about one or two pounds. It is chopped into small pieces and set aside for later use.
After scaling the grass carp, gut it, slice it, and marinate it with cornstarch and cooking wine. First, simmer the fish head and carcass to make soup, which will be used to make pickled fish later.
Both of these dishes take time to prepare, so we simply stir-fried the meat with green peppers. The local peppers are fragrant, spicy, and appetizing.
Add two vegetarian dishes: a cold seaweed and bean curd salad, a cold cucumber salad, and fried peanuts, and you're all set!
When Gu Zhiyuan got off work, he could smell the aroma from afar and knew without guessing that it was his home.
In this alley, everyone knows that their family is the most extravagant when it comes to food and drink.
After all, both of them work and earn salaries, they don't have children or need to support elderly relatives, so they have plenty of money and are naturally willing to spend it.
Sure enough, when I opened the door, Xu Ningyan was sweating profusely in the kitchen, stir-frying a young rooster with green peppers. The stir-frying of the green peppers brought out the spiciness, and the whole yard smelled of chili peppers.
The lackey, initially drawn by the smell of meat, approached the kitchen doorway, but was repelled by the chili peppers and hid in a corner of the yard, too afraid to come any closer.
Gu Zhiyuan entered the courtyard and couldn't help but sneeze twice. He walked to the kitchen door and asked, "What delicious food are you making today?"
Xu Ningyan didn't stop working. She looked up and saw that Gu Zhiyuan had returned: "There's a lot of good food today. Sun Zhou will be coming to eat later! Go and buy a few bottles of soda."
Gu Zhiyuan quickly turned around, went to the supply and marketing cooperative at the alley entrance, and came back with several bottles of soda.
Turning around, he saw Sun Zhou. The two walked home together, but after only a few steps, Sun Zhou kept sniffing: "Oh my, the smell of chicken! I must say, this young Xu's cooking skills are really top-notch. How about I pay you every month and bring my own ingredients to cook at your place?"
Gu Zhiyuan glared at him: "Not good at all!"
Sun Zhou scoffed, "Hey Lao Gu, that's not fair of you! You eat and drink well every day, what's wrong with letting your brother enjoy it a bit? Besides, it's not you cooking, it's Comrade Xu cooking. If you don't agree, I'll go find her!"
Gu Zhiyuan stopped Sun Zhou with his hand: "A Ning has to go to work every day and cook when she gets back, which is already hard enough. If you were to join in, it would only make things more tiring! Don't even think about it. If you want to come over for a meal occasionally in the future, don't mention it. Otherwise, you can go back now, it's not too late!"
Sun Zhou laughed in anger: "You old Gu! I never knew you were this kind of person!"
Gu Zhiyuan gave him a cold look without saying a word, his attitude was very clear.
Sun Zhou chickened out and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect: "Alright, alright, I know!" We're already at the door, so no matter what, we'll eat this meal first.
Gu Zhiyuan then took a step forward and continued walking.
Sun Zhou followed behind, muttering, "Old Gu, you can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman! Do you remember how you treated that young Xu when she offered to take care of you? Now you're genuinely doting on her! Tsk tsk, do you want to look in the mirror and see how you were acting just now? You were practically holding her in the palm of your hand and spoiling her!"
"Those people in the capital should really see that even the born monk Liu Xia Hui, Comrade Gu Zhiyuan, has met his end!"
Gu Zhiyuan turned around and glared at him impatiently: "If you want to eat, shut up! And when you get inside, you should know what you should and shouldn't say!"
Sun Zhou grinned at him, then jogged a couple of steps to Gu Zhiyuan's side: "Judging from your tone, you haven't explained your background to Comrade Xu yet? We've almost finished this business, and we'll be heading back to Beijing after we close the net! How long are you planning to drag this out?"
A hint of annoyance flickered across Gu Zhiyuan's face, but he quickly concealed it, remaining calm and composed: "I know what I'm doing!"
Sun Zhou took a step back: "Alright! You know what you're doing! But let me remind you, Comrade Xu isn't your average girl; she's got a lot of ideas! Don't make things worse for yourself—"
He swallowed the rest of his words as soon as he stepped into the courtyard.
