Forced to marry a disabled man in the countryside? I'll repay you tenfold!

Although young Arendt didn't understand why Su Wanqing wanted to visit that place, since it was Ms. Su's request, he complied.

"After that, we'll go to take possession of the land we bought yesterday. I brought professionals and equipment. By the way, this is Jackson, a geological exploration expert who has been working with our family for many years. He's very accomplished in the United States."

The man who arrived was named Jackson. He was in his forties, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a crisp exploration team uniform.

Over the years, he has found many mineral veins for the Arendt family and is quite famous in the industry.

He looked at these Chinese people, somewhat puzzled as to why the patriarch was being so polite to these bumpkins, and arrogantly raised his head:

"Hello, you can call me Jackson. I am a geologist, and I don't actually approve of Mr. Arendt buying that land."

After all, someone bought that land decades ago, and the fact that no gold mine has been found in all this time is enough to prove that we cannot find it with our current technology.

"But now that we've already bought it and it's become part of our family business, we'll go and investigate. Even if we don't find a gold mine, we can still use it for other purposes. I've heard Miss Su is also good at prospecting; I wonder what version and model of detection equipment she uses?"

Su Wanqing chuckled upon hearing this.

It seems that although Arendt Jr. is a spendthrift, he does have some real skills.

She said, "I don't use any bulky machines. Machines are just for reference data, but I can tell what the geological structure is like just by looking at it and then I can determine what's in the place."

She has radar and cheat codes, hehe.

Jackson gave a sneer, clearly not believing it.

He looked at Su Wanqing, and finally shrugged: "I've heard that Chinese people are usually modest, but I didn't expect you to be so confident. Well then, let's wait and see whether it's our high-tech instruments that can find the minerals, or Ms. Su's eyes."

With that, he led his people and equipment onto their dedicated exploration vehicle.

Arendt frowned and shook his head: "Oh, Sue, I'm sorry, Jackson is a rare talent in the family, he's always so proud and arrogant."

Su Wanqing smiled and said, "I just hope he won't be too shocked when I find the mine."

She didn't care about any of that.

To be honest, she felt a little guilty about stealing a gold mine—after all, it was someone else's money that bought the land.

In short, she should just enjoy the benefits she gets; other people's disdain won't hurt her in the slightest.

Five hours later, they arrived at the Crawford family's mine.

"Oh, dear little Arend, I didn't expect you to actually come." Although Victor spoke politely, he was clearly not in good spirits. His face was ashen, his eyes were dark, and he looked preoccupied and in a very bad mood.

Arendt Jr.'s expression wasn't good either. He nodded coldly, "I'd like to see how much you can extract from the mine you bought at such a high price. You can just pray that prices don't drop in the next few years."

As he spoke, he led Su Wanqing and the inspection team to the core area of ​​the mine.

Su Wanqing muttered to herself, "It's okay, it's okay. This mine will be gone soon. Don't worry, I'll avenge you, Little Arend."

The location here is indeed well chosen. It is not far from the railway line, making transportation convenient; it is close to the water source, ensuring ample water for mineral processing; and the terrain is open, making it suitable for large-scale equipment installation.

The more Arendt looked at it, the more heartbroken he felt—such a lucrative opportunity had been snatched away by the Crawford family.

The patriarch of the Crawford family, his face grim, glanced at Arendt Jr. and his group, slowly approaching, and asked in a cold voice, "Arendt Jr., I heard you went to see Morgan's auction yesterday, and then all his things went missing?"

Young Arendt nodded, somewhat gloating: "Yeah, Morgan's really unlucky. Not only did he lose what he bought yesterday, but his entire collection and armory were also emptied. He even hired a private investigator; he must have offended someone, haha!"

Crawford's eyes darkened as he pressed on, "And then? You just let you go like that?"

He looked Arendt up and down and at the Chinese delegation, wondering if this matter had anything to do with the Chinese.

The members of the Chinese delegation looked at each other in bewilderment, but Su Wanqing immediately understood—they had stolen from their armory yesterday, and they were probably dumbfounded when they went back to open the boxes, right?

Just as Su Wanqing had expected, they returned in high spirits, ready to equip everyone with brand-new weapons. But what happened next? What did they see?

A pile of stinking stones!

"Oh damn it! Who the hell replaced my three million dollars worth of weapons with a bunch of broken rocks?!" Victor's roar echoed through the air, but unfortunately... they searched from beginning to end and couldn't find a single clue.

Victor was even more incredulous. "Impossible, impossible, boss! We personally watched these weapons being loaded onto the truck and sealed up. They never left our sight the entire way and never were moved. How could they be missing?"

"I fucking want to know too, is this some kind of ghost? Or some kind of magic trick from the real estate agency? No, I even tried out a few weapons back then." In fact, the weapons Victor is carrying now are the ones he took out beforehand... which means those weapons are real.

Therefore, someone must have switched those weapons on the road using unknown means!

They just didn't make a fuss. After all, the gang had lost such important weapons; if word got out, they'd be laughed out of the world.

Su Wanqing smiled slightly, looking at the group of people with gloomy faces, not worried at all, the other party probably didn't even understand what was going on.

Little Arendt was baffled: "Yeah, we didn't steal anything. We checked everything on the spot and left. What else could we do?"

Victor leaned close to his boss's ear and whispered, "Boss, it shouldn't be them. They were visiting Morgan's place at the time, so they have an alibi."

Crawford nodded and waved his hand: "Alright, hurry up and get everyone ready to start work. Let the private investigators handle the missing items; get the mine up and running first."

Losing three million worth of weapons is no big deal... but this batch of ore is extremely important!

Su Wanqing, who had been silently observing from behind, breathed a sigh of relief again. As long as they kept quiet, no one would know that they had also lost something. It seemed that in the future, she would have to target families like these who were too proud to call the police.

Crawford pulled out a document, snorted, and handed it to young Arendt: "Take a look, young man. The prices of molybdenum and rhenium will probably increase tenfold in the next few years. Otherwise, why do you think I'd pay such high prices?"

Arendt Jr. took the document and handed it to exploration expert Jackson.

Jackson nodded after looking through it and said:
