Chapter 7 Rushing to Collect Money and Goods
Yu Wen looked unwell; so many things have happened at home lately!
Things are really going wrong!
Zhou Zijiao gave Yu Wen a wink, but her youngest daughter hadn't returned yet, so she had no intention of harming anyone.
After glaring at him, Yu Wen said, "I'll go out and look for it first. Zhou Ye, you can start cooking!"
Zhou Ye murmured, "Auntie, let me help you look for her. I'm also very worried about my sister!"
Yu Wen glanced at the two siblings who remained motionless inside the room and sighed inwardly. Even blood siblings were not as good as these cousins.
My heart warmed a little, and my expression wasn't so stiff anymore.
"Okay, let's search in both directions!"
Zhou Ye followed quietly behind Yu Wen, carrying with him many, many things passed down from his grandparents and ancestors...
Whether it's antique calligraphy and paintings or precious porcelain, it's impossible to hand them all over.
Grandpa and Grandma aren't like that, and neither is my uncle!
But there aren't many of these things at home, so... there must be other hiding places!
Yu Wen is no ordinary person; following her is the right thing to do!
As a mother, she was genuinely worried about her child. For some reason, Yu Wen didn't call her uncle to continue searching, but instead went to her lover's house.
"Brother Yue, is Ziyue here with you?" He asked anxiously as soon as he entered the room.
Brother Yue had intended to spend some time together, but now he frowned and asked, "No, did you say you were coming?"
Yu Wen became even more anxious: "What can we do? It's already dark, and the world is in chaos. It's too dangerous for a young girl to be out there!"
"Come on, let's go look for it together!"
Zhou Ye dodged aside and watched the two walk away.
After getting ready in the dark, I went inside!
The two left in a hurry, leaving the lights on, which made things convenient for Zhou Ye!
Starting with the master bedroom, Zhou Ye went straight to the head of the bed and started hammering and banging on it, since it looked out of place with the room's decor.
It was dilapidated, yet exceptionally clean!
"Knock knock..."
It's empty! Zhou Ye looked it over for a while, then pulled out the side panel. The front panel popped open, revealing a large drawer. It was really cleverly made.
Inside were stacks of cash, neatly arranged, roughly estimated to be at least 50,000! This Brother Yue is really generous!
No... there's a floor mat underneath the cash...
That's my grandma's craft. When I was little, she often said that she would pass on this embroidery skill to me. It seems that this cash is now part of my family!
I'll feel more at ease if I keep it myself!
After storing, restore it to its original state!
They searched the house again slowly, but found something strange near the wardrobe. After all, who would have footprints in their wardrobe?
Does Brother Yue have some strange quirk?
Pushing aside the clothes, I discovered there was a door inside the wardrobe?
There were even lights on inside.
There were more than a dozen large boxes, neatly arranged. Zhou Ye opened the first one without hesitation, and it was full of gold bars!
Dazzling gold bars!
The second box contained cash. It seems this Brother Yue isn't a good person either. Well then, I won't be polite!
When the third box was opened, it was filled with all sorts of receipts, such as bicycle tickets; there were at least ten at a glance!
So many?
Who exactly is Brother Yue?
When the other boxes were opened, some contained calligraphy and paintings, others antiques... Although Zhou didn't understand them, these were national treasures, and Yue Ge's identity was probably questionable!
They'll take them without hesitation!
After leaving the wardrobe, I checked the room again and found a box of watches under the bed. Without thinking twice, I took them!
They went to another bedroom only after finding nothing.
Under the bed in the bedroom, I found a wooden box with a faint fragrance. When I opened it, it was full of various jewelry and ornaments, mostly jade.
Take them all!
Finally, they went to the kitchen and discovered a cellar containing twenty bags of flour, thirty bags of rice, two bags of golden millet, red dates, various beans, sausages, and more...
With so much food stored up, it looks like we're in for a long haul! Brother Yue, I'm really curious, what's your identity?
That would be even more interesting!
Zhou Ye's eyes were resolute as he looked into the entire storage space!
As I was leaving, it suddenly occurred to me that maybe everything in this house was paid for with my own money!
So he turned back and went back to the living room!
Take away the blue and white porcelain, take away the earthenware jars; this table is nice, is it made of huanghuali wood? Take it! This stool is nice, take it!
This tea mug is nice; it's a good gift!
Zhou walked around the house a few times; the house was almost completely unfinished!
That's when they stopped!
Suddenly, "thump..."
Zhou Ye turned around. What was that sound?
"Thump..."
That dull sound sounded like... the sound of a head hitting a wall!
Zhou also discovered the source of the sound in the secret room inside the master bedroom's wardrobe!
There was a small door in the corner, and there were sounds coming from inside!
Does Brother Yue have another plan?
Are they all in cahoots?
Zhou Ye pursed his lips, deciding not to interfere, and turned to leave!
"save……"
"Help..."
Zhou Ye: ?
Could they be people locked up by Brother Yue? If Brother Yue is a bad guy, then... the people inside must be good guys!
After hesitating for a moment, Zhou opened the latch from the outside!
"Thud..."
Almost simultaneously, the dark figure inside suddenly pounced and grabbed Zhou Ye's neck tightly!
Oops!
