Chapter 116 Development
"Don't you guys think this is too strange?"

No one knew better than them what was in the opened warehouse. Not to mention the rare items, the large items alone were not something a few people could take away so openly and quickly.

But the truth is that from the moment they realized something was wrong and ran out, they only saw that one dark figure flash by and then disappeared without a trace. The entire empty warehouse seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Four people, eight pairs of eyes—how could they all collectively hallucinate?
What I'm afraid is that the dark figure isn't human at all. How could they catch up? And even if they did, could they defeat it?

"Damn it, look at your cowardly coward! Skinny Monkey, you stay and guard the remaining two warehouses. As for the other two, if you don't want to die, hurry up and chase after me!"

The tall man cursed angrily and took off after the dark figure in the direction it had left.

"Go! Split up and block him. There are only a few alleys, so hurry up!"

……

Su Ning ran out of the stilted house and disappeared into the darkness. Without wasting a minute, he immediately flashed into the space.

Unfortunately, the people inside were too alert, and they only managed to empty one room.

If it weren't for the fear of being caught in a trap, and because she had more important things to do after dawn, she really would have liked to wipe out Yan Bin's entire hideout.

All you need to do now is stay put in the space and wait until late at night before going out to leave.

Walking towards the open space outside the yard, I realized that it was too dark to see clearly what had been moved. Since I was just idling around, I figured I might as well take stock.

Upon seeing the array of items before him, Su Ning realized that changing his pendant to a magnolia flower before heading to the Yan family was an incredibly wise decision!

Of those connected warehouses, the one she randomly opened was probably the most valuable.

The three most fashionable wedding items right now are: sewing machine, bicycle, and radio. There are three or four of each here.

Not to mention many other scarce items such as watches, military water bottles, thermos flasks, iron pots, cotton, and cloth.

The space is mostly filled with things we grow and raise ourselves; we've never really considered stockpiling them.

Keep it, just in case you need it someday.

As for the boxes obtained from the Yan family and the abandoned house, the four boxes containing money were kept and two were put into the bedroom. The rest of the gold, silver, jewelry, and other items were moved to the cave.

Let's use the last two boxes of money, along with the money that Old Lady Yan had that disgusted me to no end, as charity.

It just so happens that Brother Mao is serving as one of the eight key officials in the Red Flag Commune. With these funds, he can build a good road and a good school. The villagers can benefit from this, and it can also add to his political achievements. It's a win-win situation, which is great.

……

South Gate First Street, Su Family Courtyard.

"It smells so good, little fragrance!"

After dinner, while it was still early, Tian Xiang, Zhang Mu, and Mao Mu couldn't stay idle. One of them cleaned inside and outside the house, while the other two old friends went to the backyard to tend to their beloved vegetable garden.

Just as Tian Xiang finished working up a sweat and was about to go to the kitchen to boil some bath water for everyone, she heard her mother-in-law shouting loudly.

She turned and strode quickly toward the backyard, calling out, "Mother, what's wrong?"

"Listen to that, isn't that the little circle cat from Ning's house making that sound?"

The two courtyards are not far apart, and at night, when it is quiet, you can hear the babyish barking without having to strain your ears.

At first, Zhang's mother and her husband didn't pay much attention, but an hour had passed, and given Ning's personality, how could they bear to let her bark for so long?
The more he listened, the more uneasy he felt, and the more worried he became, so he quickly called his daughter-in-law over to ask her.

"Xiang, go quickly and see what's wrong! Don't let anything happen to Ning!"

"My dear mother, I'm going right now!"

Remembering that her husband was worried before he left on his long-distance trip and told her to take good care of him, she almost forgot about it after all the busyness she had today.

Tian Xiang replied to her, and then quickly followed her to the courtyard.

After a few steps, I arrived at the gate of the small courtyard. When I saw the lock on the gate, my heart sank. I realized that Su Ning hadn't returned yet at this hour!

The little circle would go crazy, running around and screaming!
He hurriedly took out the spare key she had left him and opened the door.

The little circle dog, which was scratching and barking wildly behind the door, heard the noise and, sensing that it wasn't its owner, barked even louder.

"Alright, alright, little circle, stop yelling!"

Tian Xiang quickly patted its little head to comfort it, then picked it up, locked the door, and hurried home.

……

Ancient City First People's Hospital.

Qiao Yuan stood in front of the bathroom mirror, making all sorts of exaggerated expressions, and only stopped with a sigh of relief when he was sure his face had really returned to normal.

The thought of fainting in front of Su Ning made him wish he could do it all over again right now. A hero saving a damsel in distress—beauties are most easily swayed by the hero who saves them.

What a great opportunity to shine, and he ruined it!
But Suning is really amazing. He truly deserves the trust he has placed in him; he remains so calm and composed in the face of adversity.

According to the police officer taking their statements, she was the one who caused them all to collapse and end up in the hospital together. How remarkable! Six of them…

No, including myself, it was a weak girl who took down seven grown men!

"Tsk~"

"Brother Qiao? Brother Qiao!"

Distracted from his thoughts, Qiao Yuan grabbed a handful of his hair and walked out of the bathroom into the hallway, annoyed. "What are you doing, trying to call back my soul? How's the thing I asked you to find out going?"

"Don't worry while I do the work!"

He pounded his chest on the ground with a loud thud, then smiled and took a few steps forward before continuing.

"Those guys were taken to the station as soon as they regained consciousness. You wouldn't believe it, I even got ripped off after asking around..."

"Get to the point! Same as always, I'll reimburse you later!"

"I heard they were all underlings of Brother Bin in the underworld. I quickly pieced together the whole story and think it must be related to Tang Tian, ​​a colleague of Su, the purchasing department's clerk."

"Tang Tian, ​​that ugly woman with wild dreams?"

"Yes, yes, yes, it's the one you made cry last time."

Qiao Yuan abandoned his usual carefree demeanor, his eyes filled with icy coldness. But in a short while, the icy coldness melted away, and he returned to his roguish self. "Go, go and buy me some mercurochrome."

"what?"

"What do you mean 'huh'? Just go when I tell you to!"

"Okay, I'll go right away."

"Hurry up, before my mom and the others get here!"

Chen Baishi instantly realized what he wanted to do and quickly turned around, but the muscles on his face twitched uncontrollably: "Pah, you're such a grown-up, and you're still using that childish trick of playing the victim and complaining!"
His mother just loves this kind of thing. Sigh, it's true that loving mothers often spoil their sons!

……

A stilted building on Beizheng Linhe Street.

"What the hell did you say? Say it again!"

“Brother Biao… I swear it’s not us making excuses, it’s really true.”

"Yes, Brother Biao, you can believe us, we really didn't lie!"

"Heh~"

Jin Biao gave a cold snort with a forced smile and slowly pressed the weapon in his hand against his head.

The chilling aura emanating from those menacing eyes caused the legs of the people opposite to go weak and their hearts to skip a beat.

"You said you only saw a dark shadow, and then a whole warehouse full of stuff disappeared in the blink of an eye? You haven't caught that person yet, so you suspect it was done by a ghost, is that what you mean?"

"Do you think I'm stupid or that I'm an idiot? If you don't want to live anymore, just say so, and I'll send you on your way for free!"

“Brother Biao, we’re not lying. It’s definitely not what you’re saying. We’ve been following you and Big Brother for so many years, and we’ve never had a thought of betrayal. We would never do anything like stealing from our own people!”

"Yes, Brother Biao, boohoo... I'm innocent!"

As he said, they are all brothers of many years, and who doesn't know who?

Jin Biao wanted to believe his men, but their reasons were so ridiculous that no one could believe them!

Slowly lowering the weapon in his hand, Jin Biao changed his grip to a support and delivered a blow to the person opposite him who was bound hand and foot.

He looked at the group of people whose heads had been smashed open and were bleeding profusely, yet they dared not utter a sound, and said coldly.

"No matter who did this, he won't live. Every one of you had better not be involved in this, or I'll kill him myself!"

The guards ignored the cries for justice behind them and Jin Biao returned to the ground floor and went to the study in the building.

"Brother Bin."

"How is it? Did you throw up?"

Jin Biao shook his head and glanced cautiously at the man whose expression was becoming increasingly unpleasant. "He's still sticking to that same old story."
