Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space

Chapter 1092: Chapter 1092: Parasite

When the two arrived at the location, the person following Mr. Xue pointed to the courtyard ahead: "Mr. Xue has been inside for a long time."

Xinyan glanced at the buildings in the area and had a suspicion in her heart: "Did he enter alone, or did he bring someone?"

The person whispered, "Only him. The people who came with him were sent away, but before coming here, they changed several modes of transportation."

Xinyan and He Jinxuan exchanged a look, both understanding that Mr. Xue was indeed very cautious.

Xinyan whispered, "You wait here, I’ll go take a look."

He Jinxuan said seriously, "No way, you wait here, I’ll go. He’s definitely carrying weapons for protection, I can’t take the risk."

Xinyan pulled him aside: "You don’t need to argue with me about this. I promise you, nothing will happen, trust me."

Seeing Xinyan’s serious expression, He Jinxuan knew he couldn’t persuade her: "Then let’s go together. I promise to follow your instructions."

He really couldn’t rest assured. If the real mastermind behind harming the Gu Family was the Xue Family, then the Xue Family would be at a dead end, and they might do anything.

Xinyan had her own purpose for going in alone. If He Jinxuan went in with her, they wouldn’t be able to exploit the space in case of incidents, and it would be dangerous for both.

Xinyan didn’t give He Jinxuan a chance to stop her. She took a running start and jumped into the courtyard.

He Jinxuan watched her figure disappear over the wall and told the people nearby, "Stay here, and keep an eye on the target’s movements."

After saying that, he also took a running start and jumped into the courtyard. Since Yanyan wouldn’t let him follow, he wouldn’t, but he definitely wanted to be as close to her as possible, ready to rush to her side if anything happened.

Xinyan, who had entered first, didn’t take long to find Mr. Xue.

She didn’t expect to arrive just in time to see this man in the most dilapidated room in the backyard, moving the junk inside.

This seemingly haphazard junk was not randomly thrown in here, as Xinyan clearly saw through the broken window.

After he cleared a path, he squatted down and fumbled around for a while, and the bookshelf against the wall opened. It turned out this unremarkable room had its surprises.

She waited outside, watching the old man go in and out several times, carrying out a dozen boxes as wide as shoulders.

Seeing him close the secret door, she entered the space.

The old man moved those dozen boxes back and forth over a dozen times to the main room in the front yard. It was surprising how much energy he still had at his age to handle all this.

It seemed he didn’t trust his subordinates and descendants; otherwise, he wouldn’t do everything himself. He was indeed very cautious.

Xinyan guessed right. He feared that excessive wealth would make his descendants complacent, but if he gave them nothing, he’d worry about their hardships.

So, he thought of dividing some among the family but feared exposing the secret room, so he did it all himself.

Watching the old man move everything to the main room in the front yard, restore the back cluttered room, and after resting, laboriously move everything to the car outside, she could see his determination.

However, it was all for naught. As she listened to the car drive away, Xinyan waved to He Jinxuan not far away: "You’re so disobedient. Go outside and wait for me, and tell those outside to follow closely."

He Jinxuan nodded: "Okay."

Watching He Jinxuan leave, she used Mr. Xue’s method of flipping the overturned objects to move everything aside, opening the secret passage.

When she saw the things inside, she thought about how much harm was done to accumulate so much wealth, truly appalling.

Unexpectedly, this person was quite meticulous, even making records of how much he kept inside.

She took out a pair of gloves from the space and put them on before looking through the records. She found the part related to the Gu Family, realizing he was a leech, using work for the upper echelon as an excuse to line his pockets.

Seeing all the things inside, it was unclear which part belonged to the Gu Family, so she took some according to the recorded amount, as it wouldn’t hurt to take more.

The rest, she left untouched, as it served as his evidence of crime.
