Chapter 73 Luring the wolf into the house
Xue Zhong was upset and restless in the study. Suddenly he came to the mural, lifted it up and pressed the mechanism. With a creaking sound, the secret door slowly opened.
He walked into the darkroom and was stunned. The darkroom was empty. Where were his treasures and silver? How could they be gone?
He looked at the empty room in disbelief, his mind blank, not knowing how to react.
After a moment, he ran out of the secret door in a panic, wanting to see if he had walked into the wrong door. How could all the belongings he had accumulated for twenty or thirty years disappear without a trace?
The study was dim and silent, with only the sound of his heartbeat echoing in his ears.
Looking at the familiar study in front of him, he came to the darkroom and hoped that he was dazzled, but he was disappointed. The darkroom was still empty, and even the shelves for placing objects were gone.
He felt the blood rushing to his head, and suddenly the world was spinning, his stomach was churning, a hot stream gushed out, and then everything went dark before his eyes and he passed out.
At noon the next day, he slowly opened his eyes. Xue Fan saw that he had woken up, "Dad, you're awake."
He didn't know what was going on, "Fan'er, what's wrong with me?"
"Dad, you fainted in the study last night and vomited blood, but you're fine. The doctor said you fainted because you were too anxious. Are you worried about Haoyu? Or is there some other reason? Tell us and we'll find a solution together."
He suddenly remembered that his property in the warehouse was missing, so he threw off the quilt and stood up.
"Dad, what are you doing? You are very weak now and need to rest well."
"Fan'er, help me go to the study."
"Can't you wait until you feel better before going back to work? What will happen to our family if you collapse from exhaustion?"
"I'm fine. Help me over here. I have something important to confirm."
"What's going on? Can't you take it slow?"
"It concerns the future of our entire family."
"Let me carry you over!"
"Alright."
Xue Fan carried Xue Zhong to the study. He quickly opened the darkroom, but it was still empty. His legs and feet suddenly became weak and he took a few steps back. If Xue Fan hadn't hurriedly supported him, he would have fallen.
Xue Zhong's hope was instantly extinguished. Tears streamed down his face as he cried, "It's all gone. All the family fortune I've worked so hard to build up is gone."
Seeing his father's excessive grief, Xue Fan anxiously asked, "Dad, what's gone? What's hidden in this darkroom?"
Xue Zhong didn't bother to reply to his son. He roared, "Butler...Butler...come here..."
"Master, what do you want to ask me?"
"Who has been to my study during this period? Has anyone moved anything out of my study?"
"No, are you missing something? I'll have someone check right away."
Xue Zhong pointed at the housekeeper with a trembling finger and roared, "How can you be a housekeeper? I entrusted the safety of the mansion to you, and this is how you look after it for me? You didn't even know that so many boxes were missing from the mansion, and you took people to move them away secretly."
The housekeeper was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and said, "Master, I have served you for more than ten years. How dare I steal things from your mansion? Even if I were given a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare do such a thing."
"If you don't believe me, you can report this to the authorities and have it thoroughly investigated. If it's found to be me, my whole family will be at your disposal."
"Then why are the things in my darkroom gone?"
Butler Xue said cautiously, "I don't know either."
Xue Zhong was so angry that he started coughing violently. Xue Fan hurriedly helped him to calm down, which eased his cough a little. He pointed at the housekeeper with a trembling finger and said angrily: "Useless... a bunch of useless people. Such a big commotion and no one saw it. What's the point of keeping a bunch of useless people like you?"
The butler knelt on the ground and dared not say a word.
"Are you dead? Go and investigate this matter immediately. You can't move so many boxes out of the house quietly. Someone must have seen them. You must recover the boxes, or you won't be able to come back. You also have to do it quietly, understand?"
"Yes, I'll make arrangements right away."
Xue Zhong leaned back in his chair, tears streaming down his face. "Fan'er, all the money in our Xue family is gone. How are we going to live in the future?"
Xue Fan was shocked. "Dad, is this our family's storehouse? Are all the gold and silver stored here?"
"All the valuables were placed here, how could they be gone? It's incomprehensible to me."
Xue Fan couldn't bear to think that all the valuable things in his home had been stolen and he would become poor. He couldn't imagine how he would live the rest of his life after suddenly becoming poor after living a rich life.
"Dad, will our family become paupers?"
"It's not that I can't survive, but I won't have the luxurious life I used to have."
Xue Fan couldn't accept this sudden blow and couldn't imagine what life would be like for the poor.
After the father and son calmed down, Xue Fan said angrily, "Dad, how could someone find such a hidden place? I've been to your study many times and never knew where it is. How could an outsider find it so easily?"
"With so many things, it must have made a lot of noise. How come no one in the mansion noticed, and they were able to transport them away without anyone noticing? Don't you find it strange? Only someone familiar with the matter could have done it so flawlessly and without fail!"
"Who are you talking about?"
"Dad, if you think about who is an outsider in our family, it will be clear at a glance."
Xue Zhong thought for a moment, "Jiang Zongwei, does he dare?"
"Dad, you can only judge a person by his appearance. He abandoned his children to become your son-in-law. Such a cruel man, there is nothing he can't do."
"I definitely wouldn't do such a thing. Haoyu, although he enjoys eating, drinking and having fun, he doesn't have the guts to do it. Jiang Zongwei is the most suspicious, and his whole family are greedy vampires. His salary is not enough for the Jiang family to live in the capital."
"Without money to support the Jiang family, they will definitely find a way to get money from our Xue family. Xue Ying doesn't have much money either, so it's impossible for her to give all her money to him."
"Fan'er, send someone to secretly monitor the Jiang family and Jiang Zongwei. I want to see if I let the wolf in, or if I wronged him."
"Yes."
The housekeeper came over to report, "Master, the day before yesterday, while everyone was chatting in the main hall, the son-in-law went to your study alone."
Xue Zhong leaned against the headboard, his face gloomy and terrifying, "Sure."
"I will go and call the servant who saw him enter your study."
"Go quickly."
"You and mother were both in the main hall, anxiously worrying about Haoyu, but he ran to the study. We all know why. If he had nothing to hide, why didn't he just tell you openly?"
"He is closely related to the loss of the warehouse."
Xue Zhong's face was so dark it looked like ink could drip out of it. He gritted his teeth and said, "Jiang Zongwei, if the loss of the warehouse is related to you, your whole family will spend the rest of their lives in prison."
"Fan'er, send someone to closely monitor Jiang Zongwei and the Jiang family, and also send someone to thoroughly investigate who he has been in contact with during this period."
"Dad, rest assured and recuperate. I have sent someone to check."
