After Rebirth, My Fiancé Helps Me Avenge the Wicked Scum-Chapter 169: Drag Gu Dongxing into the Water

Chapter 169 Dragging Gu Dongxing into the Trouble

Mengyu was startled: the real account of change must be hidden within the compartment—inside were ten land deeds, some were from this city, some from Beijing, some from Shanghai, and there were even two from Xiangjiang.

But, were the land deeds from before ’49 still of any use? Mengyu had her doubts.

However, a deposit slip did catch her eye.

It was a Swiss Bank deposit slip for five hundred thousand US dollars.

Such a vast fortune!

Mengyu thought of Li Baoxiang’s political acumen; to think of depositing money in a Swiss Bank at that time, he must have been quite formidable.

Yet such a formidable person had entrusted the treasure box to his half-sister Li Chunhua for safekeeping, and Li Chunhua had been angered to death by her own half-sister.

Nonetheless, Mengyu felt he was partly to blame—who was responsible if not for his poor judgment of character? Shouldn’t he have known what kind of person his own half-sister was?

When Mengyu took out the last land deed, she discovered an envelope at the bottom.

The letter requested that whoever obtained this small iron box, the jewels and gold inside belonged to the holder of the box, but they were asked to safely return the signed land deeds and the bank deposit slip to the descendants of the Li family.

Mengyu now realized that Li Baoxiang was indeed a clever man; he probably knew that such a treasure box could not be kept safe by his half-sister in the end.

Therefore, he didn’t misjudge people but instead understood human nature all too well.

Anyone who got their hands on these treasures would be willing to return the deposit slip and the land deeds to his descendants while enjoying the rest of the treasures at ease. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Because both the land deeds and the bank deposit slip were signed, only his direct relatives could inherit them. They would be of no use to anyone else.

Compared to those treasures, these land deeds and deposit slips were the real deal. Only with these real estates and five hundred thousand dollars could his descendants be lifted up.

Moreover, with this letter, the holder of the iron box would be considered as having received his gift legally. Even if they went to find his descendants with the land deeds and deposit slip, they wouldn’t have to worry about the treasures being claimed back.

The person who obtained the iron box would aid in delivering these land deeds and deposit slips to his descendants just for the peace of mind in enjoying those jewels and gold.

Li Baoxiang was truly too clever.

Seeing the words "safely return," Mengyu admired him even more: by taking his treasures, one must ensure his descendants safely receive these items.

The land deeds from the country might be useless by now, but those from Xiangjiang could be worth reclaiming, and the Swiss Bank cheque would undoubtedly be useful still.

Five hundred thousand dollars stored until now would also be a huge amount.

How to ensure his descendants safely received the money was a concern for Mengyu.

Gu Dongxing noticed that Mengyu, after her afternoon nap, had become quite agitated, which he found very strange.

"Xiao Meng, do you have something you want to tell me?"

Mengyu had a sudden inspiration. She trusted Gu Dongxing’s character; why not drag him into this?

At most, she could share half of the treasures from the little iron box with him!

Thus, Mengyu "accidentally" heard the secret of Li Chunhua’s treasure box and, out of indignation for being sold into the mountains to be a shared wife, took the opportunity to steal out the small iron box under the pretext of retrieving her belongings.

She originally thought the money from selling her was kept in this iron box, but upon opening it at noon, she discovered the secret within and told Gu Dongxing everything.

"Brother Gu, what do you think we should do to handle this properly? Mainly, it’s a bit difficult to safely hand it over to the Li family people."
