Many children, many blessings; a stunningly beautiful wife is given to you right from the start.

"Come on! Take me to see this!"

Lin Mo instantly perked up and quickly got dressed.

My back doesn't ache anymore, my legs don't hurt anymore, and I feel like I can fight another 300 rounds!

Led by Qin Ruxue, the three of them rushed to the Chen family mansion.

The area has been taken over by the guards of Dingbei Prefecture, and busy figures are everywhere, counting and moving supplies.

Qin Ruxue led the two of them to Chen Wanjin's bedroom with ease.

The bedroom was a mess, with a bookcase against the wall lying on the floor, revealing a dark hole behind it.

"This is it!"

Qin Ruxue pointed to the cave entrance, her face full of pride.

"I felt something was wrong with the bookshelf, so I kicked it, and it topped over. That's when I discovered this hole!"

Lin Mo gave her a thumbs up.

"My dear wife, your treasure hunting method is simple and straightforward, I love it!"

He took a torch from the guard and went inside first.

A downward stone staircase, wet and slippery, filled the air with a smell of dust and copper coins.

After walking about several dozen steps, the view suddenly opened up before me.

The moment Lin Mo saw the scene before him, he couldn't help but gasp.

In an underground space the size of half a basketball court, gold and silver glittered and jewels shone!

On the left is a small mountain made of gold bars, so dazzling it makes one dizzy.

On the right were rows of neatly stacked boxes, some of which had been opened and were filled with snow-white silver ingots.

In the very center, dozens of large wooden crates were placed.

Qin Ruxue excitedly ran over and casually lifted the lid of a box.

Whoosh!

A whole box of gemstones, pearls, and agates of various colors refracted a dazzling brilliance under the firelight.

Even a ruby ​​the size of a pigeon egg is enough to ensure an ordinary family's livelihood for a lifetime!

"With this money, I can expand the guard to a thousand men! No! Five thousand!"

Qin Ruxue's eyes gleamed with fanaticism, as if she were seeing not gold, but a well-equipped and invincible army.

"We can buy the best warhorses, forge the sharpest steel swords, and the strongest armor! Let's see who dares to mess with Dingbei Prefecture then!"

Liu Yiyi was also stunned by the scene before her and couldn't speak, but she quickly calmed down, her business elite DNA kicking in.

"Second sister, we can't spend all this gold and silver, or we'll run out of money."

Her large, watery eyes were now gleaming with calculation and planning, and she exuded a unique charm.

"We need to set aside a portion of our seed money."

"We can use this money to open a money exchange in the city and bring in all the idle funds in Blackwind City."

"We can also take over Chen Wanjin's salt and iron business completely and expand it."

"Money makes money, and interest compoundes, so we'll have a never-ending stream of money."

"At that time, let alone five thousand people, there might even be fifty thousand."

Qin Ruxue was stunned.

"Money...can generate more money?"

"certainly!"

A confident smile appeared on Liu Yiyi's lips; she had transformed back into the shrewd and capable business queen.

"Second sister, you're good at fighting, but I know more about business than you do."

As Liu Yiyi spoke, she instructed people to bring the account books, abacus, and writing materials.

Soon, a set of tables and chairs was also moved in.

Liu Yiyi sat down directly, spread out her account book, and began to record things quickly.

"Second sister, please have someone take stock of how many boxes of gold bars, how many bags of silver ingots, and how to properly categorize and store the jewelry and jade."

"Okay!"

Qin Ruxue also got motivated, rolled up her sleeves, and led her people to start taking stock.

The entire secret room was instantly filled with the clattering sound of money being counted and Qin Ruxue's loud voice.

"This box contains fifty gold bars, each weighing fifty taels. Third Sister, please write this down!"

"This box of silver contains five hundred ingots. Someone, weigh it!"

Wow! This luminous pearl is huge!

The two worked together seamlessly, one giving instructions and the other carrying them out, and no one paid any attention to Lin Mo.

Lin Mo stood there for a long time, only to find that he couldn't get a word in edgewise.

When it comes to training troops, Qin Ruxue is more professional than him.

When it comes to making money, Liu Yiyi is his ancestor.

He's like a useless mascot now, attracting no one's attention.

"Um... how about we rest for a bit? We're still hungry this early in the morning, shall we go out and get something to eat?"

Lin Mo tentatively spoke.

"I'm not going!"

The two women didn't even look up, and shouted back in unison.

Lin Mo touched his nose, looking embarrassed.

Well, I'm superfluous now.

"Alright, you two bosses keep busy, I'll just have to leave now."

Lin Mo informed the two women, but seeing that they had no time to pay attention to him, he wandered out of the Chen residence alone.

He has things to do.

……

Dingbei Prefecture, backyard.

As soon as the door to the woodshed was pushed open, a strong smell of blood hit the door.

Chen Wanjin was tied up and thrown onto a haystack like a dead dog.

His legs were severed at the knees and were haphazardly wrapped in rags, the blood soaking through the dry grass.

Hearing the door open, he struggled to lift his head.

When he saw who it was, his eyes instantly erupted with overwhelming hatred.

"Lin! Mo!"

He roared and struggled to pounce, but only writhed awkwardly on the ground.

"You beast! You killed my son! You broke my legs! I'll make your whole family pay with their lives!"

Lin Mo watched him go berserk quietly, and only spoke slowly after he had run out of strength.

"You seem to have misunderstood something."

Lin Mo squatted down.

"I didn't kill him, you killed him."

"If you hadn't sent people to cause trouble at my saltworks, he might still be enjoying music in the Chunfeng Tower right now."

"If you hadn't been so malicious, wanting to massacre my Lin family and even using my family members as hostages, he wouldn't have been thrown off the courtyard wall and killed by me."

Lin Mo's every word was like a needle, precisely piercing Chen Wanjin's most painful nerve.

Chen Wanjin's roar stopped abruptly. He knew that Lin Mo was telling the truth, but the hatred in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"Kill me or torture me, it's all up to you!"

"Whatever you want to get from me, you're dreaming!"

He had already figured it out; Lin Mo must have had ulterior motives for sparing his life.

But no matter what Lin Mo wanted, he refused to give it to him!

He wanted to make Lin Mo suffer unfulfilled desires and live with lifelong regret!
