Chapter 299: Origin



An Hongdou doesn’t want to go and see it?

She thought so too, but, “I didn’t find anything.”

Shen Xiangzhi was not surprised, but felt relieved, "Could it be that you heard it wrong? Although the Li family has acted arrogantly in recent years, they would not dare to do such a thing?"

After all, it is wrong to even own those things, let alone resell them.

"Impossible, there must be something I overlooked." An Hongdou had great confidence in her ability. She had used it countless times and there would definitely be no mistakes.

But what exactly did she overlook?

"Come with me." An Hongdou's face was cold, and she pulled Shen Xiangzhi to the other side.

Shen Xiangzhi: “Where to?”

"Go prove it. I couldn't have heard it wrong." An Hongdou said.

Two streets away from here, there is an abandoned factory that was bombed many years ago.

Until now, the top of the factory is full of holes and the surrounding walls are also cracked. Due to its remote location, it has been abandoned and no one has repaired it.

Logically speaking, An Hongdou shouldn't know about this place.

But she knew it, and she learned it from the conversation between Li San and that man.

This is what they call, “the old place.”

An Hongdou used her supernatural powers again and quickly found the cellar she was looking for. The entrance was under a pile of weeds.

After lifting the camouflaged grass floor, a dark hole was revealed in the moonlight.

An Hongdou took out a flashlight, shone it at the bottom of the cave, and when she saw that it was safe below, she jumped down.

"Slow down." Shen Xiangzhi reminded her worriedly from above.

"You come down too, quickly." An Hongdou looked at the big boxes piled in front of her, her heart beating violently with excitement.

She just said that it was absolutely impossible for her to make a mistake.

There are things buried under Li San's house, and there is also this cellar over here. As for why there are none in the residence of the person who left, it is possible that he really didn't hide anything there.

"There's not even a ladder down here. If I go down, how are we going to get out later?" Shen Xiangzhi said as he stood up and wanted to see if there was a ladder nearby.

After all, if there really was something hidden here, they would have to go in and out when taking it out and putting it back. They couldn't just jump down like An Hongdou, and it wasn't realistic to move the thing.

"Don't worry, I have a way so that you won't be trapped down here." At worst, there is a ladder in her space.

As for why she didn't take it out just now, she was so excited at that time that she jumped down directly and completely forgot about the ladder.

Shen Xiangzhi hesitated for a moment, but still chose to believe An Hongdou.

"I'm going down, you stay away." Shen Xiangzhi said, and jumped down as well.

An Hongdou has already arrived at the place where the big boxes are stored. In this cellar, half of the space is filled with such boxes. It is much more impressive than Li Er’s secret room.

As An Hongdou opened one of the boxes, Shen Xiangzhi's expression was now gloomy.

Li Er said that these things were hidden in his grandfather's house, but after all, his grandfather's things were passed down from his ancestors and their origins were clean.

But seeing all this, Chen Xiangzhi would never believe that a peasant who made his fortune by relying on a woman could have such a profound background in just a few decades.

This is really a case of the thief crying "stop thief".

And An Hongdou's expression was not much better than Shen Xiangzhi's at this moment.

She reached out and took out a porcelain vase from the box. She didn't know much about antiques, but the pair of vases in front of her looked very familiar to her.

Because just a few days ago, in Li Er's secret room, she also opened a box with two vases inside.

And the box and the vase were exactly the same as what I saw before my eyes.

What does this... mean?

This means that Li Er’s things were taken away by someone, and then came here again, waiting for the next dark deal involving them.

An Hongdou told Shen Xiangzhi about her discovery, but she didn't expect that there would be something even more shocking.

It turned out that there were several boxes of things here, all of which were lost by the Su family back then.

At that time, Li Er reported the Su family. In order to protect his own family, Grandpa Su secretly transferred these things. Due to his haste, the location was leaked and the things were stolen.

The situation was already bad at the time, and Grandpa Su could only suffer this loss in silence.

I never expected that after so many years, I would see these lost antiques again here.

It seems that Li Er reported the Su family and took the opportunity to obtain the Su family's collection. Later, he did not take out the things to harm Grandpa Su, but he also wanted to greedily take these things.

Shen Xiangzhi didn't know whether he should thank Li Er for his greed.

Otherwise, grandpa would not have escaped that disaster.

An Hongdou didn't expect that things would take such a turn.

Things in this world are unpredictable, and it’s really hard to predict.

When Li Er was greedy for these things, he certainly never thought that one day he would end up like this because of them, and even his wife and children would break off relations with him.

"Then what are you going to do with these things? Or... let's take the Su family's things and return them to grandpa?" An Hongdou thought, since they are the Su family's things, they should be returned to the Su family.

As for this period, it will soon pass.

Shen Xiangzhi looked at the things in front of him, and it was hard to tell whether he was sad or happy on his face.

After a long while, he finally spoke: "Put all these things away, and keep a few to prove their guilt. These things were found in Li Er's house and are still here, which means they still have people in the dark. Even if they are handed over again, they may not be kept. They may be damaged or smuggled next time. It is better for us to keep them and return them to the country when the situation stabilizes and the time is right."

"That's fine too."

An Hongdou and Shen Xiangzhi checked everything and found that they were all antiques, jade, jewelry, etc., but there was not much cash, gold and silver.

But then again, gold and silver are money. Even if they had some, they probably kept it for themselves.

Then, An Hongdou returned to Li San's house and brought up all the things hidden under his house without alerting anyone.

However, these boxes obviously contain more stuff.

There were two boxes of shining gold, and the rest was mostly gold and silver. Jade accounted for only a very small part, and there was not a single antique.

That’s true. After all, jade antiques were the least valuable during this period, but that might not be the case if you sold them outside.

Since Li Er and Li San both hid things, An Hongdou also visited Li Da's place. As expected, like Li San, they also buried their things underground, so all the money was hers.
