Chapter 14: Another Huge Treasure Hunt
Ye Nuan, having lived a lifetime, could roughly guess what was going on upon hearing the commotion. She blushed with embarrassment, lowered her head, and subtly moved a few centimeters to the side.
Although Gu Hanchuan was unmarried and had no experience with this kind of situation, he had encountered this situation many times when he was on missions, so he realized what was going on.
That was definitely a bit awkward!
About seven or eight minutes later, a man and a woman came out of the house.
The man fastened his belt as he walked, while Bai Ge lagged a few steps behind, putting on her long-sleeved jacket as she went.
The man leered and reached out to grope her breasts again: "Here's a hundred yuan, and a few meat coupons too. You can treat yourself to something nice."
White Dove's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Brother Wang."
"Yeah, if you follow me, you'll never suffer. Alright, you can go back now, I have things to do."
"Alright, I'll be going now. Best wishes, Brother Wang."
Gu Hanchuan and Ye Nuan exchanged a glance. Who would have thought that Brother Wang was actually wearing a mask?
I wonder if she took off her mask when she was doing *that* in the room.
About half an hour later, another group of people came in. This time, it was three young men, and they looked like street thugs.
Gu Hanchuan noticed they were carrying things in their arms, and it was obvious they weren't doing anything productive.
"You'd better find a way to go out and find the police later. I'll hide under this broken basket, and no one will notice me."
"No, it's too dangerous!"
"No. You can just climb over the wall and get out, that way you can avoid the guards. But I can't, I don't have that skill."
Gu Hanchuan considered it for a moment. He was only going to the nearby police station, and it wouldn't take much time for him to go there and back. It shouldn't cause any delays.
"Okay, take this. In case of any danger, please make sure you protect yourself first. I'll be back as soon as possible!"
Ye Nuan nodded, and after the men entered the main house, Gu Hanchuan took the opportunity to climb over the wall and leave.
Ye Nuan wasn't idle either. Just now, when she moved her body, she accidentally brushed aside some grass stalks on the ground and inadvertently saw a crack. This might be where Brother Wang and the others hid their good stuff.
Therefore, her current position is very dangerous; otherwise, she wouldn't have deliberately sent Gu Hanchuan to deliver the message.
Ye Nuan heard the footsteps getting closer and closer, and then she moved slightly before quickly entering the space.
Almost immediately, the broken door to the side room was opened, and a group of people came in and began to move and lift things.
Ye Nuan entered the wooden house. On the small wooden table was a bronze mirror, which allowed her to see the outside.
After confirming that everyone had gone down, Ye Nuan quietly followed them down.
The cellar wasn't very big, probably only about 20 square meters. There were several boxes stacked together in one corner, and another corner was filled with grain.
Fearing being discovered, Ye Nuan hid in the space again.
She only came out after all the others had gone up.
This is quite alarming!
Oh!
These are all great things!
With so much rice, flour, and oil, it's obvious that this is intended for resale on the black market.
When she casually opened a small box, Ye Nuan's eyes widened in astonishment!
"My God! I'm going to be rich! So many small yellow croakers! Haha, no, I should harvest all this grain first."
In addition, she discovered some precious medicinal herbs that she could use, the kind that sells for exorbitant prices.
She had to take this. As for whether she could explain it later, she didn't care. Anyway, she saw it, so it was hers!
As for the remaining boxes of antiques and calligraphy, she didn't dare to accept them all, but picked out a few items, mainly because she was afraid that people would find out.
After Ye Nuan had finished collecting what she thought she could, she heard a noise outside. Without delay, she quickly climbed up.
Gu Hanchuan and several comrades had already gotten into a fight with those street thugs.
Tsk, they actually dare to resist?
When Gu Hanchuan saw Ye Nuan emerge unharmed, he immediately disregarded her and rushed to catch up with Brother Wang, who had just run out.
While running, he reminded Ye Nuan, "Find a place to wait first, I'll be back in a bit!"
Is Ye Nuan such an obedient person?
They took advantage of the chaos to enter the main house.
As soon as I entered the inner room, I tripped over something.
Wow, my luck is off the charts today!
It was a tattered cloth bag. When I opened it, it was full of money. It must have been that Brother Wang was too flustered when he ran away and dropped the bag.
Ye Nuan didn't dare to look at it any longer and immediately put it into her spatial storage.
This is most likely the embezzled funds they smuggled.
Gu Hanchuan failed to catch up with Brother Wang; he and another comrade returned exhausted and panting.
The main problem is that there are three directions after exiting the alley. Which way should we chase them?
Gu Hanchuan first took Ye Nuan back, and then went to the police station to cooperate with the statement taking.
Ye Nuan quickly returned to her room and began happily counting her money!
Wow, that's quite a lot!
That's over ten thousand yuan!
Moreover, there were a huge pile of tickets, and it took Ye Nuanguang more than ten minutes just to sort them out.
National tickets are placed in one separate area, tickets expiring within one month are placed in another separate area, and tickets expiring within three months are placed in yet another separate area...
This sorting resulted in several piles.
Ye Nuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then went to sort out the supplies that had been brought in.
She roughly estimated that there were about 200 jin of wheat flour, about 100 jin of rice, and a small bag of millet, which she estimated to be about 50 or 60 jin.
-
Gu Hanchuan came again the next day.
Ye Nuan felt that this man was coming too frequently.
Even if two people are engaged these days, they can't possibly see each other so frequently, mainly because people will gossip about it.
But then she thought that Gu Hanchuan had come back to visit his family, and once he left, she didn't know when they would meet again, so she could understand.
When the two were having dinner together at a state-run restaurant, Ye Nuan brought up her second brother's current job situation.
She didn't bring it up on purpose; it just came out unintentionally during their conversation.
“My grandma came to our house last night and said that my dad is a filial son, so even if he doesn’t want to get involved now, he’ll have to get involved sooner or later. I could tell they were after my second brother’s temporary job. But what will happen to my second brother if this job is given up?”
"If your second brother didn't have a job, wouldn't he also have to go to the countryside?"
Ye Nuan nodded: "That's for sure, that's why I'm worried. With my grandma's abilities, she'll definitely make sure she gets my second brother's job. Once she sets her sights on something, it's guaranteed to be taken."
Gu Hanchuan was somewhat surprised: "Your dad would agree?"
Ye Nuan pouted, and after a few seconds said, "You don't understand my grandma. She's incredibly capable! She'll get my grandpa to go on a hunger strike again, and then she can ruin my dad's job at the factory!"
Gu Hanchuan stared wide-eyed. Was this really so biased and unreasonable?
