"Second sister, you must also pay attention to safety on the way back. Don't worry about mom and dad. Ruochen and I are here and will escort them back safely." Yun Siying said, waved to them and said, "Grandpa, second sister, second sister, goodbye." Then she quickly closed the car door.
Nangong Ruochen stepped on the accelerator, and the car quickly disappeared from their sight. Ming Yixiao then asked, "Grandpa, my sister-in-law looks delicate and weak, but is her skill really better than Ruochen's?"
"What do you think?" The master raised his eyebrows, a look that you understood, then put his hands behind his back, took heavy steps, and turned back to the courtyard.
"Old Zhao, can you check who took the money from our passbooks at the bank?" Master Lin looked at Master Zhao and asked.
"Now we are investigating and it turns out that they are Lin Xiqiong and Zhao Weilong, but I called the people in Ma Yun County, Lingyang Province to confirm that these two people have never been to Hongxing Brigade." Mr. Zhao had a gloomy face.
"Then why did they appear in Beijing? Why did they happen to be in a bank, and do such a big thing?" Mr. Lin was furious when he thought about the property being stolen from his home.
The military compound was heavily guarded. They were all veterans who had experienced the battlefield. Logically, they would be the first to discover any disturbance at home, but they did not find anything unusual. There was no sign of damage on the doors and windows of the house. The thief seemed to have come and gone without a trace, and they didn't find any trace at all.
"You forgot there is a kind of magical disguise. I suspect those two people used this disguise to confuse the direction of our search." Mr. Zhao pondered for a while and then spoke.
"Could it be that the Nangong family has such talented people? I have never heard of them. I suspect that it was the work of the young man from the Nangong family and Yun Siying. Otherwise, why is there such a coincidence that all these consecutive incidents happened not long ago when we sent people to the countryside to contact Yun Siying's families?" Master Lin was furious.
"I suspected these two people at the first moment. I also saw them returning to Beijing recently, but I spent a lot of manpower and resources and couldn't find any clues about them." Master Zhao also suspected these two people. He even sent people to keep an eye on Old Man Nangong and Nangong Boming.
"Today, the two of them went with Nangong Boying's wife. After a long investigation, they found out that the child Nangong Ruoyi was injured and poisoned. He will not live long. They are rushing to the Southwest Military Region."
“Should we send someone halfway…” Master Lin made a gesture of wiping someone’s neck, his eyes full of murderous intent.
Master Zhao did not answer, but got up and left. However, he did not realize that Jiucai was walking with him, monitoring his every move, and was determined to give away his hidden property. The treasure chest might also contain his spiritual energy for his growth.
Mr. Zhao has always suspected that it was Yun Siying and the Nangong family who had done something to them. Now that Nangong Ruyi is in trouble, leaving old man Nangong alone in Beijing, he probably doesn't have the energy to pay attention to his every move. He has to go and see if the things he hid outside are still there.
Under his instructions, the car drove further and further away, to a remote alley. When the car stopped, he told the guards and the driver to wait outside, and he walked into a house that looked a little shabby.
Walking into the courtyard, a desolate atmosphere hits you in the face. Looking around, the whole courtyard seemed to be forgotten by time, with desolate scenes everywhere. The flower beds and paths that were supposed to be neatly arranged are now occupied by dense weeds. The weeds grew so vigorously that they were even up to his knees, making it almost impossible for him to move forward.
Looking at the eaves of the house, it is even more shocking. Every corner was covered with dense spider webs, and the spider silk was still floating in the wind, adding a somewhat eerie atmosphere to the dilapidated scene. The sunlight shines through the broken tiles, forming a mottled light and shadow, but it does not dispel the dead silence that permeates the place.
He walked cautiously through the slightly dilapidated courtyard, his feet stepping on the moss-covered plank road, making a slight "creaking" sound. It was quiet all around, with only the rustling sound of the breeze blowing through the leaves.
Finally, he came to that unremarkable room. The door was closed, as if hiding some secret. He stretched out his hand and gently pushed the door open. The door hinge made a dull friction sound. There was a stale smell in the room, and the walls were covered with thick spider webs.
He walked to the wall, stretched out his right hand and began to feel around. His fingers moved slowly on the rough wall. Suddenly, he seemed to touch a certain mechanism and heard a low sound. Then, the originally flat ground slowly cracked, revealing a pitch-black staircase.
He slowly took out a worn flashlight from his bosom, the weak light flickering in the darkness. Then, he took a deep breath, held the wall with one hand, held the flashlight tightly with the other hand, and walked towards the bottom of the stairs with a slightly staggering step. With every step I took, I could hear my footsteps echoing in the silent space, which seemed particularly clear.
When the others disappeared at the stairs, there was another low sound, and the originally cracked ground slowly merged together to form a complete ground. Everything just now seemed to be an illusion.
It turned out that there was a secret room below, about 100 square meters in size, filled with rows of large mahogany boxes. Jiucai saw this scene and transmitted a message: "My goodness, old man Zhao actually hid about 500 large mahogany boxes of valuables."
Yun Siying, who was originally leaning against the table and chair and feeling drowsy, immediately woke up after hearing Jiucai's excited and joyful voice: "Jiucai, after he leaves, put all his treasures into the space."
"Okay, go ahead." Jiucai continued to follow Master Zhao as he inspected the territory. When he came to the stairs, he pressed the mechanism on the wall with his finger, and the door slowly opened. Master Zhao walked into the underground secret room. At the moment when the mechanism was about to close, Jiucai flew to the stairs and collected all the large boxes in the secret room with one thought.
Old Zhao was still completely unaware of the situation and thought he had foresight. If he had hidden his belongings at home like Old Lin did, they would have disappeared long ago.
Yun Siying was awake and not sleepy. She looked at the watch on her wrist. It was 11:30 in the afternoon. She said to Nangong Ruochen who was driving, "Let's find a spacious place to park and have lunch, and then we'll continue driving."
"Okay, are you awake because you're hungry?" Nangong Ruochen looked at her good mood and thought something good must have happened.
"No, I'm going to get rich again." Yun Siying said and gave him a look.
