soon.
One by one, the other boxes were also dug out.
Everything was arranged neatly and orderly.
Although each box was very light, and the people who dug them out were somewhat surprised, they didn't think much of it.
After all, these boxes are still sealed and locked.
Just then, a younger man suddenly exclaimed, "Hey, why is this box so light?"
Is there really something in here?
"Why does it feel empty?"
Upon hearing the young man's words, Chen Kui's face immediately darkened: "What nonsense are you spouting, you brat? How could this box be empty? It's full of valuables!"
The young man was reprimanded by Chen Kui, and he felt a little guilty, but he still said, "Butler Chen, what I said is true. This box is really light, as if it's empty."
As soon as the young man spoke up, the others chimed in: "Butler Chen, to be honest, the box I just dug out is very light, it doesn't look like it's full of things at all."
"Yes, yes, the box I dug up was the same. One person could easily lift it up. It probably only weighs about ten kilograms. That's just the weight of the box itself, right?"
When Chen Kui first heard the young man's words, he thought he was talking nonsense again and was about to scold him. However, as others spoke up, he realized that something was wrong.
Are these boxes very light?
How is that possible?
So he walked straight to a box, lifted it up with all his might, as if it were weightless.
"this......"
"this......"
Chen Kui was dumbfounded and stunned.
Then, he remembered something, quickly took out his key, opened one of the boxes, and found it empty.
Chen Kui's face turned deathly pale, as if struck by lightning.
How could that be?
"How can it be empty?"
"Why is this box empty?"
Chen Kui couldn't accept this result, and then, refusing to believe it, he continued to open the other boxes.
As it turned out, all the other boxes were empty as well.
There was nothing inside.
It was completely empty.
Seeing this, Chen Kui turned deathly pale.
He realized something terrible was about to happen.
then.
He said directly to the others, "Don't dig anymore, just wait here. I'm going back first."
Now that all the boxes are empty, it's no longer something he can control.
We must go back and inform the head of the household immediately.
After Chen Kui finished speaking, he left immediately.
As for the people present, they now realized the seriousness of the problem.
These excavated boxes were all empty?
What exactly happened?
"Tell me, what's going on? Why are these boxes empty?"
"Who knows? The box is still locked, and the seal hasn't been removed, yet it's empty inside. This shows that it must have been empty when it was buried."
"So, it was switched when it was buried back then? And these gold and silver treasures were stolen?"
"Who did this back then? How dare they be so bold? I wonder what the Fang family patriarch's expression will be when he finds out about this. He'll probably be furious."
"I just hope he won't take his anger out on us, or think that we stole these gold and silver treasures."
"He dares to do that!!! After all, we're all here, and we saw with our own eyes that these boxes were empty when they were dug out."
"Yes, if they try to pin the blame on us, we must unite!"
While they were discussing it animatedly, Gu Nini was also laughing heartily in her personal space.
