Chapter 46 Lin Sanlang Reveals the Truth
Upon hearing this, Director Zhang hurriedly went over and gestured for them to put the box down. He then opened the box and his pupils dilated when he saw what was inside. He then reached out and rummaged through the straw inside the box.
"How could this be? It was perfectly fine when it arrived at the dock today, how could it be gone in just half a day? Quick, go check the other boxes..."
Hearing the commotion below, the people on the boat got off and asked, "What happened?"
"The contents of the box are missing. When I had it delivered to the dock today, everything was definitely inside. I haven't left it for a moment since it was delivered to the dock."
As they were talking, they heard a series of synchronized footsteps in the distance. The man at the head of the group's expression changed, and he pulled out a gun from his waist, pressed the muzzle against Director Zhang's head, and gritted his teeth, saying, "You..."
?mom
"You dare to scheme against me!"
"No, it wasn't me!"
"Stop talking nonsense and get on the boat with me."
After saying that, he grabbed Director Zhang and ran quickly toward the ship...
Seeing this, Lin Baozhu picked up a stone from the ground and smashed it into the head of the man with the gun...
"Hmm."
The man touched his head, and when he saw the blood on his hands, he collapsed to the side in disbelief.
"Hurry up, set sail."
Before the anchor was even raised, Qin Haifeng and his men, guns drawn, rushed toward the ship. A burst of gunfire followed. Lin Baozhu, standing in the gap, watched as people jumped into the water to escape. The pebbles in her hand always managed to hit them precisely in the head before they jumped into the sea...
Half an hour later, the spies and traitors who sold national cultural relics were finally caught in one fell swoop.
Qin Haifeng squatted on the ground, examining the person injured by the stone with great curiosity. He had only ever seen such precise technique on one other person...
Could it be her?
He glanced around, but there was no sign of Lin Baozhu anywhere!
"Boss, who threw that rock? If that rock hadn't hit that beast on the head, I would have been bleeding from my head too."
"It was too chaotic at the time, I didn't see clearly. Alright, stop talking nonsense, tie all these people up and take them away."
Below the boat, a group of people had their arms cuffed from behind. The older policeman at the head patted Qin Haifeng on the shoulder and said, "Thanks to your help this time, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to catch these bastards. Now that we've caught them red-handed, let's see how these beasts can deny it. Take everything back..."
"yes."
When the police officers saw the opened boxes, they froze on the spot. What happened to selling antiques? It turned out to be just a few broken boxes. Had they fallen for a diversionary tactic? That shouldn't be the case. The men carrying the goods below weren't carrying any weapons, but the people wearing the vests were carrying real weapons. It didn't look like a diversionary tactic at all.
"Open all the boxes and see. I refuse to believe we can't find anything!"
Lin Baozhu, who was hiding in the shadows, naturally knew what the police were looking for. She quietly transferred a small box she had looted from Director Zhang's house into one of the larger wooden boxes, and then transferred some not-too-expensive antiques into the box. She didn't need many items, just enough to solidify their charges. After doing all this, she tiptoed away from the port and headed straight for the small courtyard she had just rented that day...
*
When I returned to the courtyard I had rented for Lin Sanlang under the moonlight, I was met with deafening snoring...
She shook her head with a chuckle, then slipped into the space behind the house next door.
She unpacked the twenty-odd large boxes one by one, and took out the contents one by one, arranging them neatly from largest to smallest. Looking at the treasures standing before her, Lin Baozhu felt her eyes welling up with tears.
Her gloved hands gently stroked the items, such as the Pan Chi Wen Ding (a type of ancient Chinese cooking vessel), the Meng Hu Shi Man You (a type of ancient Chinese wine vessel), the Buddha head from the Tianlong Mountain Grottoes, as well as various calligraphy and paintings, books, and other treasures that were later called national treasures by the Jingxue Kingdom and refused to be returned. Now, these treasures quietly stayed in her own space.
She exhaled softly, thinking that once the country has reformed and opened up and has the ability to compete with other countries, she would donate these treasures to the National Museum free of charge, so that more Chinese people could see the craftsmanship and aesthetics of their ancestors.
After taking a bath, Lin Baozhu lay on the bed and quietly fell asleep. She didn't notice that after she fell asleep, the antiques began to emit green polka dots from within, and those dots eventually disappeared...
They disappeared into the land within the space.
The next day, Lin Baozhu woke up to find it was bright outside. She heard Lin Sanlang making clanging noises in the courtyard. Lin Baozhu came out of her spatial dimension, yawned, and saw Lin Sanlang building a chicken coop through the window.
Lin Baozhu: ...
"Third Brother, why are you building a chicken coop?"
Hearing Lin Baozhu's voice, Lin Sanlang was startled. He patted his chest and said, "You brat, you scared me to death! Didn't you go home yesterday? No, how did you get in?"
"You climbed over the wall, didn't you? Third Brother, you haven't done anything with me about building a chicken coop yet?"
"Hehehe, my friend said that the word for chicken coop sounds like 'auspicious coop' in Chinese. Even though we're renting this place, we should still make it look decent, right? I'll try to bring back a few chicks later. They'll lay eggs to nourish you, and we can fatten them up in the winter so we can slaughter them and eat chicken."
Looking at Lin Sanlang's simple and honest smile, Lin Baozhu chuckled and asked, "How much money did you make from selling them yesterday?"
When the topic of rooftop chicken coop came up, Sanlang perked up and started building the chicken coop much more elaborately.
"I took them to the family compound to sell, but before I'd sold them all, I heard that something happened to Director Zhang, the one who bullied my second brother. You wouldn't believe it, their house was robbed of everything. Speaking of which, I can't help but think of that scoundrel Bi Yuntao from our village..."
The Zhong family, their house was also robbed clean of everything back then. Little sister, do you think there really is such a thing as the Five Ghosts Transporting Wealth Technique?
Looking at the eccentric Lin Sanlang, Lin Baozhu coughed lightly: "Who knows? As long as we don't do anything wrong, the Five Ghosts Transporting Wealth Technique will never be used on us."
Lin Sanlang's pupils dilated as if he had just thought of something. He stopped building the chicken coop and cautiously approached Lin Baozhu, saying, "Little sister, have you noticed? Anyone who offends our family suffers terrible misfortune. Take the Bi family, for example. They went to great lengths to break off your engagement, even resorting to slander. Now, their house has been robbed clean, and their two old folks are going to be reprimanded."
One of them is squatting by the fence, and the one he just married is no good either, knocking on the old man's door late at night.
And this Director Zhang, he just targeted our second brother yesterday, and today his house was burgled…”
Upon hearing this, Lin Baozhu quickly covered Lin Sanlang's mouth: "Third Brother, don't talk nonsense. Everyone is looking for the thief. If your words get out, won't you be giving them a chance to frame us? Don't you understand the saying that trouble comes from the mouth?"
Seeing Lin Baozhu's serious expression, Lin Sanlang hurriedly nodded and mumbled, "I understand, I understand."
Lin Baozhu released her grip upon hearing this.
"Third brother, I think you've pretty much mastered selling things. You can sell the rest of the clothes and fruit yourself. I have to go home..."
"Little sister, I'll go back with you."
He made so much money yesterday; if it hadn't been so late, he would have gone back to his mother that very day to brag about how much money he had earned...
