Time travel, quick transmigration

Upon exiting the room and seeing the two guards lying unconscious on the ground outside, Li Ren became even more aware of his current predicament. He obediently led Xiao Huanling and Jiang He toward the treasury where he kept his treasures and gold and silver.

"You two, this is it."

Li Ren smiled ingratiatingly at Jiang He.

Xiao Huanling looked up at the plaque above the door that read "Yunxin Pavilion" and thought to herself that Li Ren was quite the pretentious person.

"So the storeroom was located in the study."

Jiang He grabbed Li Ren's arms and forced him to push open the door and go inside. After seeing the furnishings in the inner room, he said casually.

Li Ren remained silent, only carefully maintaining a smiling face.

Xiao Huanling, on the other hand, walked leisurely behind the two and followed them into the study.

Where is the warehouse?

Jiang He tugged at Li Ren, the force almost causing him to lose his balance and fall to the ground.

"It's on the second shelf over there. Just rotate that green antique vase three times and the storage room will open."

Jiang He glanced at Li Ren with an expression that said, "You know what's good for you," then let go of Li Ren and walked straight to the antique shelf. He held the vase and turned it around a few times to test it. With a click, the two rows of antique shelves behind the desk opened in response.

Li Ren was actually very distressed, as his wealth accumulated over more than a decade was about to fall into the hands of others. However, under the pressure of Xiao Huanling's imposing aura and the absolute power of Jiang He, he had no choice but to admit defeat.

"Brother Xiao."

Jiang He looked at Xiao Huanling, asking him for his opinion with his eyes.

Xiao Huanling nodded.

Jiang He then walked back, bent down, grabbed Li Ren, restrained his arms, and led him toward the warehouse.

Xiao Huanling followed behind them.

When Jiang He actually saw the mountains of gold and silver on the wooden shelves of the warehouse, as well as many boxes of precious or rare jade artifacts, pearls and antiques, he was still dazzled.

Xiao Huanling remained completely calm and composed.

"You old bastard, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say you're richer than a country. Judging from your heartless riches, you must have acquired all this through any means necessary. You unscrupulous merchant, despite being so wealthy, you still take advantage of the chaos to rob the people, colluding with other merchants in the city to inflate grain prices, making it impossible for ordinary people to afford food and survive."

"I'm taking a portion of your property today. Do you have anything to say about it?"

Li Rencheng shook his head frantically in fear and trepidation.

"Please feel free to take it; even if it's just a small portion, it's fine."

"After we leave, I want you to distribute some of your wealth to the suffering people in the city. Are you willing?"

Li Rensheng despised those filthy, lowly people the most, and looked down on them even more. How could he possibly be willing to give a portion of his wealth to someone he looked down on? However, under Jiang He's threatening and cold gaze, he dared not refuse and could only hurriedly pledge his loyalty.

"I am willing, I am willing..."

Jiang He nodded in satisfaction with Li Ren's performance, but still couldn't resist threatening him.

“We will be staying in the city for the next few days. If you dare to disobey us, I will come back to take your life.”

The chilling aura emanating from Jiang He made Li Ren's pupils shrink, and he quickly assured him, "My lord, hero, I keep my word and would never dare to deceive you two..."

Jiang He struck down with his palm, and Li Ren felt a sharp pain in the back of his head before his vision went black and he collapsed to the ground.

Jiang He glanced at Li Ren, who was lying on the ground in an unseemly position, and kicked him away with disgust.

"Brother Xiao, if you need to prepare a betrothal gift for Sister Ayan, here are some ready-made items. Many of these items look like rare treasures, so just pick the best, rarest, and most valuable ones."

“Brother Xiao, look, this string of pearls is so bright and round, each one is full and dazzling. Sister Ayan will definitely like it very much. And this string of agate beads, I have never seen such good color and quality before.”

"These two luminous pearls are also quite nice, as are two boxes of rare gems... and these, such beautiful hairpins, gold ornaments, hair ornaments, such exquisite craftsmanship, must be the work of a master."

Jiang He selected several in succession, pointing to this one and then that one.

Xiao Huanling looked at everything he pointed to, and satisfaction gradually filled his eyes.

"Very well, that's all for now. I'm sure Ayan will like it."

Upon hearing this, Jiang He clasped his hands together and smiled broadly.

"It seems Brother Xiao is very satisfied with what I chose. That's great. I'll pack all these things up and take them with me."

After saying that, he immediately started working on his own.

Before long, Jiang He had packed and prepared everything he had just read.

Looking at the four sandalwood boxes filled to the brim, Jiang He rubbed his nose and instantly had an idea.

"Brother Xiao, wait for me a moment, I'll be right back."

Xiao Huanling responded with a soft "Mm".

Jiang He left the storeroom and glanced around the study before finally fixing his gaze on the blue silk cloth spread on the desk.

After moving the items off the desk, Jiang He took the silk cloth down and returned to the storeroom. He tore the silk cloth in half, took four sandalwood boxes, packed two of each into bundles, tied them tightly, and looked at Xiao Huanling while carrying a bundle in each hand.

"Brother Xiao, you can go now."

Xiao Huanling slightly raised her lips as she looked at Jiang He, who was carrying two blue bundles.

"Thanks a lot."

Jiang He laughed heartily.

"I'm just doing my part, it's nothing hard. You'll have to carry those two bags back yourself later."

Xiao Huanling did not respond, but only said...

"let's go."

With that, he turned and walked out of the warehouse.

Seeing this, Jiang He immediately followed, but before leaving, he couldn't help but kick Li Ren.

The two of them moved freely and unnoticed, leaping out from behind a wall in the backyard of the Li residence.

"Give me the things. Don't forget what I said before, you must find out the truth. If it's true, those people cannot be allowed to live."

"I'm going to the market to check out the things needed for the wedding. I need to buy them myself. I also plan to check if there are any famous pastry shops along the way. Your sister Ayan loves to eat delicate and delicious pastries, so I want to buy some for her. Don't worry, I'll buy some for you too."

"See you at our clinic."

Jiang He handed the things in his hand to Xiao Huanling.

"Brother Xiao is a true friend. I thought you only had eyes for Sister Ayan and no one else. It seems I was mistaken. To be Brother Xiao's brother and to be remembered by him is truly a blessing."

Jiang He deliberately feigned extreme emotion, causing Xiao Huanling to burst into laughter.

"You... really..."

Be careful.

Jiang He patted his chest.

"Don't worry, taking the lives of a few troublemakers is no problem for me..."

"I am leaving."

With that, he turned and strode away, disappearing into the crowd in no time.

Xiao Huanling withdrew his gaze, weighed the items he was carrying in his hands, and then stepped into the bustling market.

After ordering and paying deposits at several shops, Xiao Huanling went to a snack shop on the street corner to buy some snacks, and then carried the things in her hand back to the clinic.

The clinic, named Boxin, was quite well-known in the city. Moreover, due to Chen Bowen's superb medical skills and his unique personality, most people in the city knew him.

Therefore, after Xiao Huanling said that she was holding her wedding at Boxin Medical Clinic, some shop owners were surprised and offered their congratulations. They also gave Xiao Huanling some gifts out of respect for Chen Bowen.

Xiao Huanling returned to Boxin Medical Clinic, put away the four wooden boxes she had brought back, as well as the snacks she had brought for Shi Yan and Jiang He, and then took a thank-you gift for Chen Bowen to see him.
