Xia He sneered in his heart, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes. He had already found out that although Zhen Jie had many guards around him, these people could not guard him day and night. As long as he was a little careless, it would be an opportunity to attack.
Moreover, Xia He saw with his own eyes that when Zhen Jie came, Captain Fan moved boxes of silver to him in order to please him. The silver piled up like a mountain, how could Zhen Jie spend it all?
He did not rush to act, but waited quietly. As time passed, the noise in the room gradually subsided.
After a while, the door was pushed open and Zhen Jie staggered out half-naked, apparently preparing to go to the toilet.
But halfway through the walk, he suddenly stopped, turned back sharply, and a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes.
"Who!" Zhen Jie shouted in a low voice with a hint of nervousness in his voice.
Hearing the noise, several guards nearby immediately rushed out of the room and looked around vigilantly.
"Sir, what's wrong?" a guard asked in a low voice.
Zhen Jie frowned and scanned the yard, but found nothing unusual. He waved his hand, signaling the guards to retreat.
"It's okay, maybe I'm overthinking it." Zhen Jie said in a low voice with a hint of impatience in his tone.
The guards looked at each other, but still retreated respectfully. Zhen Jie stood there, frowning, obviously still feeling a little uneasy. He hesitated for a moment, and finally turned around and walked towards the toilet.
Xia He hid in the dark, sneering in his heart. He knew that although Zhen Jie appeared calm on the surface, his heart had begun to waver. This was exactly the effect he wanted.
After Zhen Jie finished draining the water, he was still a little irritated. He always felt that something was wrong tonight, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. He hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to check the banknotes.
He walked quickly to a room, pushed the door and walked in. The room was dark, Zhen Jie carefully opened the secret compartment, and only heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that all the banknotes were there.
"It seems that I am overthinking it." Zhen Jie whispered to himself, and felt a little relieved.
However, just as he turned back to the room and lay down, a scream suddenly came from outside the door.
"There's a thief!" The guards' voices sounded particularly harsh in the night.
Zhen Jie was startled and rushed out immediately. He saw several guards standing in the yard with grim faces, holding weapons in their hands and looking around vigilantly.
"What's going on?" Zhen Jie asked sternly.
"Sir, someone just broke in, but we have driven him away!" a guard whispered with a hint of uneasiness in his tone.
Zhen Jie's heart sank, and he immediately realized that something was wrong. He quickly ran back to the room he had just been in, and found that the window was open, and the banknotes in the secret compartment had disappeared without a trace.
"Damn it!" Zhen Jie's eyes went dark and he almost fainted. That was several thousand taels of silver! The banknotes he had worked so hard to get from Captain Fan were actually stolen!
He suddenly realized that the "thief" had deliberately led him to see the banknotes! And he had foolishly pointed the way to the other party!
"Bastard!" Zhen Jie roared, his heart filled with regret and anger.
"Find it. Find out who did it!"
A man in the Bone Refining Realm came over, covering his arm with an unpleasant look on his face.
"Sir, I just fought with a thief, and that man was also a bone refiner!"
Zhen Jie was stunned. The person he suspected the most was the guy named Xia. Can he refine bones?
"Isn't it him?"
"Could it be the Shan brother and sister..."
…
At the same time, Xia He had quietly left Zhen Jie's yard and returned to his own residence. He stood in the yard, holding the stack of brand new banknotes in his hand, with a satisfied smile on his face.
"Those people were too sharp. I was discovered right after I took the banknotes. I had no choice but to leave."
Xia He whispered to himself, with a hint of regret in his tone. He originally planned to take care of Zhen Jie, but the other party was heavily guarded, so he had to give up temporarily.
However, being able to get these several thousand taels of silver notes can be regarded as collecting some interest first. With this money, the materials for the bone refining soup will be enough. Xia He calculated secretly in his heart, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
"Zhen Jie, this time it's just interest, but next time... it won't be that simple." Xia He said in a low voice, with a hint of murderous intent in his tone.
…
The next morning, as soon as Xia He arrived at the military camp, he heard Zhen Jie sending people to catch thieves everywhere.
"Ah? The banknotes were stolen?"
"How could you be so careless!"
Xia He's face was filled with shock. He chatted with everyone for a while before going to the training ground to start practicing martial arts step by step.
He originally thought that the man surnamed Zhen would definitely become suspicious and send someone to cause trouble, but he didn't expect that nothing happened in the whole day.
That evening, when he was returning from the military camp, a familiar figure came into his sight as he was about to reach the door of his home.
Shan Xiong crossed his arms across his chest, glanced at him sideways, and snorted.
"Brother Shan, why are you here?"
Seeing this, Xia He felt a little puzzled, but still greeted Shan Xiong politely.
However, after saying hello, Xia He found that Shan Xiong showed no signs of leaving, but stood there motionless.
"Where is your home?"
"My home? What are you doing..."
Shan Xiong: "I didn't mean to go to your house, but my sister was at your house, so I had to come."
"Senior Sister Shan is at my house now?"
Hearing this, Xia He was very surprised.
