Chapter 53

Han Jinzhu appeared to be quite honest on the surface, but who would’ve guessed how crafty he was behind closed doors?

Li Yuechan disdainfully rummaged through the woman’s belongings. There wasn’t much—just a few dozen yuan. But there was a watch, which she took for herself.

She continued searching through the room and soon found a secret compartment near the bedside. When she opened it, she was surprised to find a stack of money.

Without hesitation, Li Yuechan pocketed it. Then she searched some more and found a gold necklace and two gold rings.

This was odd. The Han family was so wealthy, yet this was all they had?

She was about to keep looking when the door suddenly creaked open from the outside.

“Dad, what’s wrong? Wake up!”

Li Yuechan froze in shock as a young boy screamed in agony. Oh no, she had forgotten about the two children in this family!

Taking advantage of the cover her space provided, Li Yuechan quickly picked up the tranquilizer smoke from the floor, and with a few swift moves, she slipped out of the Han house.

Once back home, she locked the door and patted her chest, feeling a bit shaken. She had been careless today. She’d need to be more cautious next time.

After counting the money—just over 100 yuan—she wrapped the watch and gold rings in cloth and placed them in the villa. She had discovered that the gold items wouldn’t be taken by the space when placed inside the villa.

These items were too few to be worth keeping, so she would sell them later. It would at least be some small profit.

However, the Han family was still on her mind. She felt like she hadn’t searched thoroughly enough.

As for Han Chunguang, if he wanted to fake an illness, she’d make sure he stayed sick forever!

Meanwhile, the Han family was in chaos. The couple couldn’t stay calm, especially after they realized they had both fallen asleep without noticing.

“Not even the child’s arrival could have alerted us. Who knows what could’ve happened!”

Han Jinzhu glanced at the vase on the shelf, feeling a bit relieved. Thank goodness.

“Old Han, hurry up and call the police! That’s over 100 yuan, and there’s also the watch, the gold necklace, and the rings! Those were the things we barely managed to save up!”

Han Jinzhu frowned and muttered, “Call the police? How can we call the police? Are we supposed to let them search our house? You know better than anyone that some things here can’t be seen by the authorities. With our income, how could we have bought all this?”

The woman bit her lip. Most of the valuables were from her brother. As for where he got them, she had a pretty good idea.

“Then are we just going to let that thief get away?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll get back everything that was stolen today, double the amount! You stay here, I’m going out.”

“Old Han, what are you going out for at a time like this?”

“I’m going to see Old Qian to figure something out.”

“Alright, just be careful.”

Elsewhere, in another house:

“I’m worried the things at my house aren’t safe. We had a break-in today.”

“What? A break-in?”

Qian Guoguang knocked on the table. “Do we have a lead?”

Han Jinzhu shook his head. “No, but I just don’t feel right about it.”

“Those items are hidden so securely, they shouldn’t be discovered for now. As for moving them, we need to find a safe place first. Don’t worry. Just stay vigilant for now.”

Han Jinzhu nodded. “Alright.”

“Oh, by the way, I checked on that incident with Chuangguang and Feng Chuan. It all comes back to that girl named Li.”

“I’ve heard from Chuangguang that her family is quite wealthy. Perhaps…”

“What are you implying?”

“Heh, I’ve heard enough. We can make use of this Li girl’s identity. I don’t believe that old Su really handed over all the family wealth!”
