With three superpowers at his fingertips, he could dominate the 1970s.

Jiang Zhiyu first went to the first treasure location that Su Xu had told her about.

It was a courtyard in the eastern part of the city, which looked like an ordinary residence from the outside, without even a proper plaque above the door. When Jiang Zhiyu arrived, she found that there were actually two guards at the gate, sitting in the gatehouse drinking wine and chatting idly.

Without alerting them, she teleported directly into the courtyard, knocked down the guards, and began looting.

Once inside, I discovered that the courtyard was a hidden gem.

The east and west wing rooms together comprise four or five rooms, each filled with furniture—a carved mahogany bed, a rosewood table, a huanghuali armchair, a rosewood display shelf… all of them were top-quality antique furniture, any one of which could fetch an astronomical price in later generations.

"Seventeen, take all of this furniture."

"receive!"

With a thought, the antique furniture pieces disappeared one by one into the space.

"Seventeen, scan the underground."

"Okay, host... Scan complete. There really is a basement! Located beneath the east wing."

Jiang Zhiyu walked to the east wing and used her spiritual power to probe—sure enough, there was a secret room below. The mechanism was very simple: a hidden door behind a cabinet.

She put the cabinet back into her spatial storage, revealing a dark passageway. Inside hung an ordinary padlock. Jiang Zhiyu pulled off the padlock, crouched down, and went inside.

The basement is very large, at least seventy or eighty square meters.

But it was empty, and there were drag marks on the ground—it seemed that another batch had been transported away recently.

"It seems Su Qiming has been transferring assets recently."

Jiang Zhiyu frowned, but was not discouraged.

The remaining boxes were also quite numerous, piling up all over the floor. She opened a few and looked inside, discovering that they mostly contained valuable, high-end porcelain—

The blue and white porcelain vase has a lustrous glaze and is decorated with lotus scrolls on its body. The bottom is marked with the inscription "Made in the Qianlong Reign of the Great Qing Dynasty". The famille rose bowl is decorated with flower and bird patterns on its walls. The colors are so vibrant that they look as if they have just been taken from the painting. The cloisonné enamel plate has a landscape painting in the center, depicting distant mountains and nearby waters, creating a profound and serene atmosphere. It is accompanied by a pair of small blue and white dishes with gold rims.

There are also several bronze vessels—a bronze ding with three legs and two handles, its body engraved with dense inscriptions, which are first-hand materials for the study of ancient history; a bronze jue with a simple and elegant shape, which is said to be a sacrificial item from the Shang and Zhou dynasties; and a bronze you with taotie patterns carved on its body. Although it is ancient, it still exudes a solemn and dignified atmosphere.

"These things..."

Jiang Zhiyu's eyes lit up.

"Host, if these porcelain pieces were in later generations, each one would be worth millions or even tens of millions. Those bronze artifacts are priceless treasures; they are available at any price internationally."

"I know."

Without looking at them for long, she put all the boxes into her spatial storage.

This is just one of the treasure locations.

Next, Jiang Zhiyu arrived at the second treasure location.

This courtyard was even larger, located in a secluded alley in the western part of the city. There were two guards there too, and she took them down just as well.

Once inside, she found that the things in the courtyard were rather outrageous.

"This is……"

Jiang Zhiyu looked at the things in the room and was somewhat shocked.

There are Taoist ritual implements—

A peach wood sword, with Bagua patterns carved on its blade, though made of wood, exudes a subtle spiritual aura; a Bagua mirror, its surface smooth as a mirror, with Taiji patterns cast on the back, said to be used to ward off evil spirits; and a jade ruyi, its jade warm and lustrous, with auspicious cloud patterns carved on its handle, an essential ritual implement for Taoist practices.

There are also Buddhist scriptures and classics—

The handwritten Diamond Sutra, with its neat and elegant characters, is said to have taken a high-ranking monk several years to complete; the gilded Buddha statue, with Shakyamuni seated on a lotus throne, gleams with golden light and has a benevolent face; the jewel-encrusted prayer wheel, with the six-syllable mantra engraved on its body, makes a clear sound when it is turned.

There are also some unusual items—

A string of Buddhist prayer beads, said to be made of Bodhi seeds, each bead round and full, radiating a faint luster; a wooden fish, which produces a pleasant sound when struck; a copy of the I Ching, its cover yellowed, but the contents still clearly visible.

What shocked her even more were the fur coats piled up in the corner—

A whole Siberian tiger skin, with golden fur and black stripes, still gleamed in the dim light; snow-white mink fur, soft and delicate, felt like cotton to the touch; a leopard skin with colorful patterns, spread out on the ground for three or four meters long; and fox skins, otter skins, raccoon skins... piled up to fill the whole room.

"These things..."

Jiang Zhiyu frowned even more deeply.

Taoist ritual implements, Buddhist scriptures... these were clearly confiscated from temples. And those fur coats, who knows how many wild animals they were stripped from.

"Seventeen, write these things down."

"Okay, host."

She put everything into her spatial storage.

She would return the stolen goods to their rightful owners—if they were still alive. As for the unclaimed items, she would keep them for later, to be dealt with at a more opportune time.

The third treasure location contained yellow and white items.

When Jiang Zhiyu arrived, she found that the guards here were less strict than the previous two places—probably because the place contained gold and silver treasures, and it was not convenient to make a fuss about it.

The courtyard was empty and showed no signs of anything unusual. But Jiang Zhiyu used her spiritual power to probe and discovered the entrance to the basement.

She teleported inside, then froze.

The room was filled with gold bars, silver coins, jewelry, and jade.

The gold bars were stacked like a small mountain, each marked with its weight, weighing at least several hundred kilograms. Jiang Zhiyu picked up a bar and looked at it; it was engraved with the words "pure gold" and "100 grams," indicating it was of excellent quality and top-grade gold.

The box was filled with dozens of silver dollars, mostly "Yuan Shikai Dollars" and "Sun Yat-sen Dollars" from the Republic of China era, as well as some Qing Dynasty dragon dollars. Each one was well preserved and made a crisp sound when struck.

The jewelry and jade artifacts are countless.

The jadeite bracelet is a vibrant, translucent green, with a delicate texture, making it a rare glass-type jadeite. The pearl necklace features perfectly round and full pearls of uniform size, radiating a soft luster. The ruby ​​ring boasts a rich and vivid pigeon-blood red color, set in a platinum band. The sapphire earrings are a deep blue, as profound as the night sky, and are paired with a pair of diamond stud earrings, showcasing exceptional color.

There are also some strange and unusual treasures—

A luminous pearl, said to emit a faint green light in the dark; a pair of jade discs, carved with cloud patterns, ancient artifacts from the Han Dynasty; a thumb ring, carved from emerald green jade, worn on the thumb, exuding an air of grandeur; a piece of bloodstone, its vibrant red resembling congealed blood, a superior material for carving seals.

"Host……"

Seventeen's voice trembled slightly.

"I know."

Jiang Zhiyu took a deep breath and put everything into her spatial storage.

This is wealth that an ordinary family couldn't accumulate over hundreds of lifetimes. How much money did Su Qiming embezzle during his many years as director of the Revolutionary Committee? No wonder he could extend his reach into Shanghai and even to Kaoshantun…

The fourth treasure trove consists of calligraphy and paintings by famous people, as well as ancient books.

After Jiang Zhiyu went inside, she found that the storage conditions here were better than the previous places—there were special moisture-proof measures and dedicated personnel to guard them.

Several boxes were filled with calligraphy and paintings by famous people.

Tang Bohu's painting, "Lady," depicts a graceful woman with expressive eyes and delicate brushstrokes; Zheng Banqiao's calligraphy, "Bamboo and Rock," features vigorous and powerful characters accompanied by a seven-character quatrain; Qi Baishi's shrimp paintings bring several river shrimp to life on rice paper, capturing their liveliness with just a few strokes; Zhang Daqian's landscapes depict layered mountains, shrouded in mist, and possess a profound artistic conception.

Rare and ancient books are even more precious.

A set of the Song Dynasty's "Zizhi Tongjian" (Comprehensive Mirror for Aid in Government), the paper is yellowed but the characters are still clear; a copy of the Ming Dynasty's "Yongle Encyclopedia" is said to be a unique copy that came out of the palace; several volumes of handwritten copies of the "Classic of Poetry" are written in beautiful handwriting and are said to be the handwriting of a talented woman; and there are also several medical books from the Qing Dynasty that record prescriptions for various difficult and complicated diseases.

"Host, if these things were placed in future generations, each one would be a national treasure in a museum."

"Um."

Jiang Zhiyu gave a faint reply and stored them all in her spatial storage.

The fifth treasure location contained some miscellaneous items—

Antique clocks and watches: several grandfather clocks hang on the wall, keeping accurate time and exquisitely crafted; imported cameras: several German-made Leica cameras, said to be rare items from the Republic of China era; limited edition record players that can produce beautiful melodies when playing music; and several radios, foreign brands, capable of receiving several channels.

There are also some "foreign gadgets"—

A sewing machine, an American brand, which reportedly cost several hundred dollars at the time; a bicycle, a British-made Langling bicycle, with a shiny frame and in excellent condition; a phonograph, accompanied by several vinyl records, all of which were famous foreign songs.

"These……"

Jiang Zhiyu shook her head and put them all into her spatial storage.

By the time she had searched all five treasure locations, she was exhausted.

She lay on the grass in the space, panting heavily, looking at the blue sky and white clouds above her.

"Host,"

Seventeen's voice rang out.

Do you know how much stuff you received today?

"How many?"

"There are several hundred kilograms of gold alone, and countless amounts of silver. There are over a hundred pieces of antique furniture, dozens of paintings and calligraphy by famous artists, hundreds of pieces of jewelry and jade, as well as rare ancient books, furs, and ritual implements..."

Seventeen did the math.

"If we calculate based on prices in later generations, the total value of these items exceeds..."

"Exceed what?"

"Over one hundred billion."

Jiang Zhiyu fell silent. The value she would receive in later generations was indeed terrifying!

One hundred billion.

Su Qiming embezzled 100 billion yuan from just five treasure sites.

No wonder he could extend his influence to Shanghai and Kaoshantun. No wonder he could support such a large business.

"These people..."

Jiang Zhiyu closed her eyes.

"Damn it."

"What does the host intend to do with these things?"

"Leave it for now."

Jiang Zhiyu opened her eyes, a cold glint flashing in them.

"Once we've thoroughly investigated Su Qiming's case, we'll hand these things over to the state. For the stolen goods with owners, we'll find a way to return them to their rightful owners. As for the unclaimed items…"

She thought about it.

"We'll talk about it later."

"Yes, host."

Seventeen wisely shut his mouth.

Jiang Zhiyu lay on the grass, closing her eyes to rest.

The harvest in the first half of the night was already quite substantial.

Next, it's time to properly interrogate Su Ran.
