Chapter 12

Only after all the things that could be moved from Gu Zhenxi’s house were moved did Bai Runrun stop and leave with satisfaction.

Before leaving, Bai Runrun was considerate enough to close the door, to avoid leaving the door open in the middle of the night and making it unsafe for their house to be robbed again.

How pitiful that thief is. He works so hard in the middle of the night but fails to steal anything, and then has to take the blame for her when he is discovered.

The sun rises and the moon sets, and the dawn light gradually spreads across the earth. Early risers have already gotten up, washed, and prepared to start their day’s work.

“ah–“

“What’s going on! Where are the things at home?”

“Oh my goodness …”

The shrill scream pierced the sky and was heard by many people living near Fu Xiuyun’s home. They gathered at their door and talked in low voices.

“What happened to the old Gu family?”

“I don’t know. That was the sound of Cherish Her Mother just now. Tsk tsk, it was like a little chicken being strangled by the neck.”

“Don’t let her hear you say this, or she’ll throw a tantrum and then come to your house to blame you.”

“It’s none of my business. I’m just a spectator.”

At this moment, a large group of people gathered at the door of Gu’s house, listening to the screams inside that were getting louder and louder.

In the room, Gu Zhenxi and Gu Zhiguo, who were woken up by Fu Xiujun, were also frightened by the scene in their own home.

In their bedroom, only the bed and the wardrobe were left, everything else was gone!

Moreover, the door of the closet was still open, as if afraid that they would not notice the emptiness inside the closet at first glance after getting up, so he left it open to let them see that it was empty.

Walking out of the room again, the living room that was originally furnished with tables, chairs, benches, sofas and coffee tables was now empty, just like before they moved in. If the sound was a little louder, it would echo in the house.

Gu Zhenxi asked in shock: “What’s going on? Mom!”

“We’ve been robbed! These bastards!” Gu Zhiguo slapped his thigh and hurried back to the house: “Go check the valuables in the house!”

Even the living room was cleaned out, and the small room where their valuables were kept was probably also ransacked.

Fu Xiujun quickly ran over to take a look, and when she saw the empty little room, she almost fainted.

That’s all the money their family has!

Gu Zhenxi quickly supported her mother and shouted, “Mom, what’s wrong with you?”

Fu Xiujun was furious, pointing at the panicked Gu Zhiguo and said, “You, why don’t you go report to the police!”

Soon, the neighbors who were watching outside found out that the Gu family had been robbed last night and the house was almost completely ransacked.

When the neighbors heard the news, their faces changed and they hurried back to their homes and began to look for valuables, but they found that only the Gu family had been robbed in this area?

Tsk tsk, this must be because he has done too many bad things!

Soon, the police arrived, and several men in police uniforms came.

Looking at the empty living room, several policemen also showed incredible expressions.

Fu Xiujun kept saying, “Mr. Police, please, please find our lost things back! These are all our family’s belongings!”

“What did you lose?”

“That damn thief, the son of a bitch, stole the sofa, table, chairs, pots and pans in the kitchen, firewood, rice, oil, salt, and the refrigerator. He also stole all the jewelry in our house, several hundred yuan in cash, and even the clothes in our closet and the towels and tissues in the toilet!”

“God damn it, how are we going to live the rest of our lives? There’s nothing in the house except the bed. How are we going to live the rest of our lives?”

Fu Xiujun cried so miserably.

Several policemen looked at each other and then began to investigate.

Two policemen took their statements, and the rest began to search the room.

In addition to Fu Xiuyun and his wife’s room, there was also Gu Zhenxi’s room, the living room, the kitchen, the storage room, and everything that could be taken away was indeed taken away.

There was also a toilet, but no one wanted to investigate and they just took a quick look.

“Are you sure that all these things were lost last night?”

“Yes, it was fine yesterday. It was lost last night!”

“According to what you said, to move all those big items in one night, they would need at least three or four people. However, with so many people stealing your furniture, the noise must have been quite loud. How come none of you three were woken up?”

Listening to the police’s questions, the family of three looked at each other and finally shook their heads.

They didn’t know why, but they all slept well that night.

Gu Zhenxi hesitated for a moment and said, “Actually, I got up once last night to go to the bathroom, but I returned to my room very quickly.”

“What time?”

“I can’t remember clearly. I glanced at the clock when I came down. It was probably around midnight.”

“Are the things in the house still there?”

Gu Zhenxi always felt that something was wrong in the living room last night, but she didn’t dare to say anything under the gazes of everyone. She stammered with red eyes, “It should be. I was half asleep and went to the bathroom because I had a stomachache. I went back to my room in less than two minutes.”

In fact, when she got up to go to the bathroom, her house must have been robbed.

Because she found that there was no toilet paper when she went to the toilet, so she didn’t wipe her butt and put on her pants directly.

But in front of several public security comrades, all of whom were men, she was too embarrassed to say that she put on her pants without wiping her butt, so she had to tell a lie.

The public security comrades did not suspect anything and recorded that the thief arrived after midnight. They checked all the rooms in the building and took a statement. An hour later, the group of police officers were ready to leave.

Fu Xiujun asked expectantly, “Comrade police, when can you get our things back?”

“If you have any clues to provide to us, it will speed up our efforts to solve the case and we can recover the items as soon as possible.”

They left without saying anything.

I know very well that this case is difficult to investigate.

In this day and age, there is no surveillance, and criminal investigation and crime-solving technologies are still imperfect. Bai Runrun dared to empty the Gu family’s house just because of this.

What’s more, she moved the things with just her mind and used the space to collect them, so there was no evidence left.

No one would have thought that she had a space, and it was even more impossible for anyone to think that she, a 20-year-old girl, could empty the entire Gu family by herself.

With her fragile appearance, does she look like she can do it?

If you tell it to others, someone has to believe it!

The family looked at the empty room and saw a group of neighbors outside who were watching the fun. Gu Zhiguo couldn’t help it anymore and walked out the door and shouted at them, “What are you doing? What are you looking at? Get out of here! You’re all bored, right?”

“Tsk, who wants to see you?”

“Let’s go, let’s go. We have to go to work soon. This family is really unlucky!”

After everyone left, Gu Zhenxi suddenly couldn’t help herself and burst into tears.

“Dad, does our family still have money now?”

Gu Zhenxi cried and sobbed: “In a few days, I will go to attend my classmate’s wedding, and I will definitely have to give a gift then. Is our family really out of money?”

Gu Zhiguo was also very upset and said, “Don’t you see what the situation is like at home? How can they raise money for you to give as a gift? It’s just a classmate, don’t go to the wedding.”

“But I’ve already promised!” Gu Zhenxi stamped her feet anxiously. Seeing that her father didn’t say anything, she pulled her mother’s arm again: “Mom…”

She had already agreed to go to the wedding, but now she’s suddenly not going. How will her classmates see her?

Gu Zhiguo was upset, and even more upset when he heard his daughter crying. He couldn’t help but yelled, “Stop making noise!”

Gu Zhenxi’s voice suddenly stopped, as if someone had strangled his throat, and he dared not shout anymore.

Fu Xiujun’s face was gloomy and she had no time to take care of her daughter. Compared with the family’s property, everything else was nothing.

The entire two-story building, except for their bedroom, was emptied out, and the kitchen was even more empty, without even a grain of rice left.

Fu Xiujun has no job, and the family relies on Gu Zhiguo alone to support the family. However, there is still half a month before his next salary is paid. What should their family do in this half month?

There is no food at home, let alone giving gifts to classmates, they even have problems eating!

Fu Xiujun thought for a moment and said, “Zhiguo, we need to find someone to help with this matter, but my parents are long gone, so I’m afraid I have to ask my parents-in-law for help.”

Fu Xiuyun’s parents died early, and the two sisters used to get along well, but after they got married, they started to busy themselves with their own affairs. Although they lived not far from each other, they only saw each other about ten times a year.

Gu Zhiguo’s parents are still alive, but the Gu family is poor. They have been poor all their lives. Gu Zhiguo doesn’t want to go home at all, let alone ask his parents for help.

In the past, their family’s money came from the inheritance left by Fu Xiujun’s parents, as well as the benefits Fu Xiujun got from begging from her sister.

He said impatiently: “Don’t go to them whenever you have something to do. You think about them when you are not around. Now that something has happened at home, you want to ask them for help?”

When Fu Xiujun heard this, she exploded. She ran over and almost knocked Gu Zhenxi down.

“Gu Zhiguo! What do you mean? What do you mean you don’t think about them normally, but think about them when something happens? This house belongs to me alone, right? This is not your home, right?”

Fu Xiujun became more and more angry as she spoke, so she just stood there, pinching her waist and cursing: “You are filial, you can make money, you have the ability to take them over! Who can you support with the little money you earn every day! Bah!”
