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

After all that trouble, several hours had passed.

Jiang Zhiyu looked up at the sky—dawn would break soon. She had to bring Su Qiming over for interrogation before dawn, lest they become suspicious when they discovered their son and daughter were missing the next day.

As she spoke, Jiang Zhiyu left the space and teleported to the Locust Flower Lane that Su Xu had mentioned.

There were quite a few people living in Huaihua Lane, and Jiang Zhiyu scanned the area with her mental energy as she walked. She didn't miss any of the houses that were even remotely decent.

Sure enough, after a while, she found a courtyard that was more impressive than the others.

In those days, most people lived together in large courtyards. A small, detached house like this, with only two people living there, was easy to spot.

Jiang Zhiyu teleported inside and first used a sleeping potion to knock the woman unconscious.

Then, she found Su Qiming.

The old man was fast asleep on the bed, still smelling of alcohol; he had obviously drunk quite a bit last night.

Jiang Zhiyu frowned, then used vines to wrap him up and brought him into the space.

In the space.

Jiang Zhiyu tied Su Qiming to that locust tree as well—hanging him side by side with Su Ran.

Su Ran was still unconscious, hanging there covered in blood, like a rag doll.

Su Qiming was hung up for a while before a whipping lashed him, and he woke up screaming.

"ah--!"

He shuddered in pain, opened his eyes, and saw the environment he was in.

Isn't he at Xiaojuan's house? Where is this?

He looked around in confusion, and then he saw Jiang Zhiyu standing in front of him.

His eyes lit up instantly.

This was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life!

Su Qiming thought to himself: Am I that charming? A beauty actually took the initiative to come to my door?

Thinking of this, he even gave Jiang Zhiyu a lewd look, and a smile that he thought was very handsome curled up at the corner of his mouth.

Jiang Zhiyu: "..."

She gave a cold laugh.

Four more lashes were delivered.

"ah--!"

Su Qiming screamed repeatedly, never expecting it to start like this.

"Grandma, spare me! Grandma, spare me!"

He screamed in pain.

"I don't remember ever offending you!"

Jiang Zhiyu sneered:

"Ha, you two are alike. Don't you know how many people you've offended?"

Su Qiming's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

He's offended too many people! He's offended at least eighty or a hundred people in his life! But this stunningly beautiful woman in front of him, he really doesn't remember her! Otherwise, how could he possibly let such a beauty go?

"Who...who are you?"

He endured the pain and asked, his voice sharp but his heart weak.

"You dare kidnap me? Do you know who I am?"

Jiang Zhiyu ignored him and lashed out with the whip a few more times.

"Tell me, where are your other treasure troves?"

Su Qiming's pupils suddenly contracted.

How did he know about my hidden treasure?

He always portrays himself as upright and honest! Could it be...?

"What did you say? I don't know what you're talking about!"

He vehemently denied it.

Jiang Zhiyu sneered:

"You probably don't know, but your good son Su Xu has already told me all the treasure locations you told me about."

Su Qiming's expression changed.

Su Xu, that idiot!

"Are you going to obediently confess honestly, or will you find out using my method?"

Jiang Zhiyu's voice was as cold as ice.

"snort!"

Su Qiming gritted his teeth, forcing himself to maintain his composure:

"You brat, do you know who I am? How dare you kidnap me!"

He stubbornly threatened:

"If I stomp my foot, the whole capital will tremble! You dare to kidnap me? Believe me, my men will make sure your whole family has nowhere to hide!"

Jiang Zhiyu looked at his boastful manner and a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips.

"Yeah?"

With a flick of her wrist, the vines instantly grew thicker, and she lashed out with several more whips.

"ah--!"

Su Qiming screamed repeatedly, his voice cracking.

Su Ran, who was hanging nearby, was awakened by the screams and opened her eyes groggily.

Then, she saw Su Qiming, who was covered in blood from being beaten.

"dad--!"

She screamed in terror, her whole body trembling like a leaf.

"Dad! Tell her whatever she needs to know, don't try to hide it!"

Su Qiming was startled by his daughter's voice and then noticed that his daughter was hanging there beside him.

"Ranran?! How come you're here too...?"

"Dad, tell her!"

Su Ran cried out.

"You said it yourself! Maybe she'll let us off the hook!"

Su Qiming was stunned: "What?"

"Dad! She's different from other girls!"

Su Ran screamed in terror:

"She's a superhuman! Tell her quickly! Otherwise, she'll search your soul too!" Su Ran didn't know anything about mental power; she only knew about soul searching from novels.

Su Qiming's expression changed instantly.

A superhuman?

He... he knows that the country has some special abilities. But I've never heard of anyone being able to control plants!

Jiang Zhiyu stopped whipping him and looked at him with a half-smile.

"At least there's someone who knows what's good for them."

She looked at Su Qiming:

"Su Qiming, your daughter is much smarter than you. Even a little girl like her knows how to see things clearly."

Su Qiming finally realized he was scared, and his voice was trembling.

"I beg you... please let me go... I'll tell you... I'll tell you everything..."

Jiang Zhiyu looked at his darting eyes and lashed him a few more times with the whip.

"Grandma, I was wrong... Please stop hitting me!"

"Alright, then tell me."

Jiang Zhiyu crossed her arms and looked at him coldly.

"Besides the places Su Xu mentioned, what other locations are there?"

Su Qiming swallowed hard and began to confess:

"There are... there are eight treasure locations... I only told Su Xu a small portion... most of them are worthless..."

Why only tell him a small part?

"Because...because the situation has become increasingly tense in the last two years..."

Su Qiming said with a mournful face:

"My superiors are already watching me... I'm also planning to flee with my family... I told them that because they're afraid I'll be caught and they'll have a way to survive..."

Jiang Zhiyu sneered, "I see."

Su Qiming quickly told Jiang Zhiyu about the remaining eight treasures, and Jiang Zhiyu silently had Seventeen memorize them.

After saying that, Su Qiming looked at Jiang Zhiyu pitifully:

"Grandma... I've said everything... Please let me go..."

Jiang Zhiyu looked at him and said calmly:

"You and your daughter are quite greedy."

Su Qiming was taken aback: "What?"

"One is delusional, wanting to touch something that doesn't belong to him; the other, seeing someone else's treasure, wants to possess it."

Jiang Zhiyu's voice was as cold as ice.

"Greed is insatiable; it's like a snake trying to swallow an elephant—that perfectly describes people like you."

Su Qiming's face turned pale, and he dared not utter a sound.

Jiang Zhiyu looked at him and continued:

"However, those eight warehouses you mentioned are all small, worthless warehouses, right?"

Su Qiming's pupils suddenly contracted.

"And there are two huge warehouses, why didn't you mention them?"

"I...I..."

"There's another cargo ship at the dock, ready to be smuggled out secretly, and you didn't mention it?"

Su Qiming's face turned completely pale.

How...how does she know everything?!

You think I'd believe your nonsense?

Jiang Zhiyu gave a cold laugh.

"Seventeen, make a note of this—there are two more huge warehouses, located at…; there's a ship full of cargo at the dock, ready to be smuggled out."

"Yes, host. It has been recorded."

Jiang Zhiyu glanced at Su Qiming, a cold glint flashing in her eyes:

"Honestly, how many secrets are you still hiding?"

"No...that's all..."

Su Qiming was trembling all over.

"That's really all... I've said everything..."

"Yeah?"

Jiang Zhiyu raised her hand, activating her supernatural power.

The vines wrapped around Su Qiming tightened again, fixing him firmly to the tree trunk, making him unable to move.

"Then I'll take another look."

She walked up to Su Qiming and placed her hand on his head.

"No--!"

Su Qiming screamed in terror.

"don't want--!"

But his struggles were futile.

Jiang Zhiyu's spiritual power penetrated his mind and began to peruse his memories.

You won't believe it until you see it, and once you do, you'll be shocked.

Su Qiming embezzled countless amounts of money!

The assets transferred overseas are mostly cultural relics, and their quantity is incalculable.

What shocked her even more was that Su Qiming was also colluding with Xiao Rizi!

In those years, he took advantage of his position to transport a considerable number of cultural relics to Xiao Rizi. These were all treasures of Chinese civilization.

This traitor!

A surge of fury flashed across Jiang Zhiyu's eyes.

No wonder he was able to climb to such a high position... it turns out he got it by selling out his country!

She continued to peruse her memories.

Besides the eight warehouses, Su Qiming did indeed have two other enormous storerooms, as she had discovered just now by subtly using her supernatural abilities. These were filled with the ill-gotten gains from years of embezzlement and bribery—gold, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jewelry… the quantities were staggering.

The cargo on the dock was the family's belongings, which they were preparing to take with them when they fled abroad.

After reading it, Jiang Zhiyu withdrew her spiritual power and looked at Su Qiming as if she were looking at a dead man.

"Traitor."

She said coldly.

"You think you only embezzled some money and persecuted a few people?"

Su Qiming's face turned deathly pale, and he couldn't utter a single word.

Jiang Zhiyu raised her hand and lashed out with the whip several more times.

"ah--!"

Su Qiming screamed and fainted.

Su Ran, who was hanging nearby, was trembling with fear, but dared not utter a word in defense of her father.

Although she had only read books, she knew what her father had done. In the nearly one year she had been there, she had inquired a lot. That's why she had always wanted to escape, or marry someone with absolute power, to get rid of her family background, and wait until the reform and opening up.

Unexpectedly... a transmigrator from the apocalypse arrived.

Su Ran felt more and more aggrieved the more she thought about it.

Since they've already let her transmigrate here, why make other people transmigrate here too? Wouldn't it be better if there was only one protagonist per world?

After organizing the information, Jiang Zhiyu turned and left the space.

The two watched her disappear, utterly despairing.

Jiang Zhiyu stood outside the space and looked up at the sky.

It's almost dawn.

Su Qiming, that old bastard, has quite a lot of evidence in his hands.

"I need to hurry and pick up the goods."

Jiang Zhiyu muttered to herself.

"And the evidence against that traitor must also be compiled and handed over to the state."
