Chapter 140: Over, Discovered
Back in the RV, Tong Jiacai asked, "Didn't you say that the wolf grandma and the fake grandpa were in the study?
The bookshelves and your grandfather's photos have been taken away, and there's no sign of a secret room."
Tao Junle said, "There is a secret room in the house, in the study. Before you came, I had already put away everything in it. Those things on the second floor are there.
As for the adulterous couple...
My grandmother was not in good health when she was alive.
In order not to disturb her rest or my mother's vocal practice, a soundproof room was built on the first floor.
They're in the study, and it's really disturbing my ability to put things away. So...
I took a little bit of hallucinogenic drugs from my grandfather's collection and added them to their drinking water afterwards.
Then... I led them step by step to the soundproof room on the first floor and used it on them...
Anyway, it’s enough for them to drink a pot of wine.”
Tong Jia pursed her lips and asked, "Is the medicine that strong? It took us over an hour to pack up, and before I came..."
Hmm... Tong Jia thought about it and decided that she didn't really want to watch those action movies because they were too eye-catching.
He changed the subject and said, “Your grandfather’s seal and list of assets are here.
In addition to this house and what we put into the space, he also has two properties and assets in the bank.
How are you going to handle it? "
Tao Junle said: "I have thought about it. The assets in the bank must be withdrawn openly and honestly. The procedures are too complicated and it will take a long time.
My grandfather and I have been to the bank several times to open the safe. With the invisibility cloak, I can definitely take out everything in the bank.
As for deposits... forget it.
My grandfather has a loan from the bank. His savings are not much and are not enough to pay off the loan. Even if he adds this house, it will still be a stretch.
Adding my grandfather’s shares in the company, it’s almost the same.
So, we just take what’s in the bank and the other two apartments.”
"The other two houses? Why are they both in China?" Tong Jia asked in surprise when she opened the property certificate.
Tao Junle also came over to take a look.
Not only the property certificates for the two houses, but also the land certificates.
One of them is located in Yuanshazhou, Ludao, Fujian Province, and the other is located in Gangxia, Pengcheng, Guangdong Province.
Looking at the owner, they are all a man named Wen Yanan.
Tong Jia asked, "Is your grandfather's last name Wen?"
Tao Junle nodded and said, "He often said that he was a descendant of Wen Tianxiang and had lived in Guangdong Province. Later, when he had enough of eating sweet potatoes, he took his cousins and the adults in the village to Fujian Province.
There were frequent wars at that time, so he wanted to find a way to make a living, so he came to Xingcheng with some friends from Fujian Province.
After he became rich, he wanted to return to his hometown.
I went back twice, but both times, one was because something happened at the company in Xingcheng, and the other was because my grandmother passed away. I didn't stay there for long.
Unexpectedly, although he didn't stay long, he did a lot of important things and even bought two houses!
Except for his poor judgment of people after he got older, his judgment was always accurate!"
Although Tao Junle has never lived in modern times, he has read many books in Tong Jia's collection in his previous life. Many of these books are about the development of Pengcheng and tourism in Yuanshazhou, Ludao.
Without looking at the house, just looking at these two places can also tell how much it will be worth in the future.
He handed all the property certificates to Tong Jia and said, "Jia Jia, if you have time, go and make the changes and change the names to yours.
From now on, no matter how many properties I buy, they will all be in your name..."
Tong Jia took the property certificates, smiled, and said, "What you said is indeed very pleasing to the ear.
But... if you want to survive, now is not a good time to go through the transfer process.
Have you forgotten? I told you there's going to be a period of chaos ahead.
Transferring the house to someone else's name now, whether it's yours or mine, would be like an old man eating arsenic—he's tired of living."
"If I don't go through the transfer process, will I not be able to get them back in the future?" Tao Junle was a little worried about the future ownership of the two houses.
Tong Jia shook her head and said, "Probably not. Before the opening up and development, no one dared to take the initiative to own any property.
As long as we complete the change of ownership of these two properties one year before the opening and development, there will be no disputes in the future.
By that time, the chaotic period was over, and formal development had not yet begun. Many people were still waiting and watching. It could be said that this was the best time.”
Tao Junle nodded and said, "Okay, you've been through it, so I'll do as you say. But we have to record these important time points."
After saying that, he found a piece of rice paper and solemnly wrote the time and things to be done with a brush. Then he cut the paper into vertical strips with a paper cutter and stuck them on the locker above his head.
Tong Jia said speechlessly, "I haven't experienced that time, I only read about it in books and on TV.
Why are you putting up such a long piece of paper? It's so in the way.
I have a whiteboard in my space. I'll get it later and set it up..."
The space in the RV was really limited. After looking around, Tong Jia found that the small whiteboard could not write too many things, and the large whiteboard took up too much space.
Finally, he said, “Okay, let’s float around like a cover so we don’t forget.
But don't write on white paper, it looks unlucky. Wait, I'll get you some red paper."
Later, Tao Junle wrote it again on red paper and replaced the white rice paper.
The ownership certificates of the two houses were also placed in the storage cabinet with the ticket, and the original items inside were taken out and placed elsewhere.
They plan to use this locker specifically to store property ownership certificates in the future.
After finishing all this, Tao Junle glanced at the watch on his wrist and said, "It's almost time, let's go out."
Tong Jia rubbed his hands, looking very excited.
There is a spring-loaded fist on the handle of the soundproof room door. When the door is opened, the fist will pop out and hit you in the face.
There were two screaming chickens placed on either side of the door. Then she aimed at the right moment, used the remote control to turn on the light of the floating ball, and pushed it towards the two people with Tao Junle, who had also gone invisible. The floating ball came back, pushed forward, came back, and pushed forward again...
After a few cycles, the two people should be so scared that they can't stand.
Then choose an appropriate place to place the fart cushion and electric shock pen.
Although the electric pen only produces a slight electric shock, these two people have just finished playing games and are definitely not wearing enough clothes. It may even come into direct contact with their skin. The feeling is not fatal, but it is definitely not comfortable.
When they were tumbling and crawling to escape, they would definitely not be careful and step on the fake blood capsules on the ground.
There were no wounds, but the inexplicable appearance of blood was enough to scare the two of them.
At this time, Tao Junle showed up, of course, only showing his head, and asked about his mother and grandfather.
Tell the truth and give them a quick death. If they still insist on being stubborn, Tong Jia will take over.
Giving them a chance to escape, making them mistakenly believe they could get away, and when they were tired and resting, Tong Jia, wearing clown makeup, would only show her head to greet them.
During their subsequent escape, they were played some horror movie sound effects and audio of Zhang Zhen telling ghost stories.
If that's the case, and both of them are fine, Tong Jia would like to plead with Tao Junle on their behalf.
Anyway, Tao Junle can still stay in Xingcheng for three or four days, so he can keep them to play with him for another three or four days.
Unexpectedly, Tao Junle agreed and the plan was implemented smoothly, but the two useless adulterers couldn't hold on.
My grandfather's cousin had trouble with the floating ball. He didn't sit on the fart cushion, but rested his head on it. After being shocked by the electric pen, he never got up again.
Tong Jia asked, "Did you give me too much medicine? How can a grown man be so frightened?"
Tao Junle said: "He is my grandfather's cousin. He left home with my grandfather and went to Fujian Province, and then came to Xingcheng together.
He is younger than my grandfather, but not by much, so he is bound to have the same old diseases.
He's in good health, having expended so much energy and still managed to hold on until now."
"That's right..." Tong Jia was about to express her opinion when she was interrupted by a woman's scream of "Ah~ah~ah~ghost!"
Although both of them were wearing invisibility cloaks and others could not see them, the sound of their conversation could be heard.
After Grandma Wolf determined that the person speaking was Tao Junle by the voice, and combined with the fact that she had hung up the phone before, she thought that because she hung up the phone, Tao Junle's way of life was cut off, and now Tao Junle came back to seek revenge on her.
Although she screamed constantly, she did not run away to survive as Tong Jia had planned.
She screamed and slowly knelt down with trembling legs. When her skirt touched the ground, Tong Jia saw that Grandma Wolf's white skirt had been stained by yellow liquid.
Knowing that this person couldn't get away, Tong Jia said somewhat disappointedly, "I haven't even had enough fun yet, why is she unable to walk anymore? Then all my tricks were in vain."
Tong Jia was talking about the clown makeup on her face, but when Grandma Wolf heard it, she thought there were other ways to deal with her.
She looked at her lover behind her who had no signs of life at all. He was clearly no longer moving, but his body was still making strange noises. If she smelled carefully, she could even smell the aroma of barbecue.
Grandma Wolf was even more devastated. She looked up and looked around, but couldn't see even a ghost.
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. She simply stood up and ran into a wall not far away, causing her brain to burst.
Now there is no chance for interrogation.
Tong Jia glanced at Tao Junle and asked, "What should we do now?"
Tao Junle walked over to confirm and found that the two people were indeed not breathing.
He sighed and said, "Let's go and drive to the bank."
"Go to the bank now? Can we get in?" Tong Jia expressed doubt.
Tao Junle said, "Let's go to the bank and wait. Otherwise, when the police find the bodies of these two people, the first thing they will do is seal up the assets in the bank, and then you won't be able to get anything out."
The servants will be back tomorrow, and if they don’t see anyone, they will definitely call the police.
Although we have dealt with the two of them temporarily, we can still buy ourselves a morning.
But Tao Junle didn't want to give the adulterous couple this respect. He wanted to let everyone know about the dirty things they had done and their crime of killing his grandfather.
So, the two men were left dead in the villa, waiting to be discovered by the servants who came back from vacation.
Tao Junle's grandfather has two cars, which are parked in the yard. They are the only two things that he and Tong Jia have not put into the space.
It’s not that they forgot, but there are already three cars in the space and there is really no room for more.
However, there was not a single gasoline barrel left in the garage, as they had all been put into the space.
Tao Junle drove the car and Tong Jia sat in the passenger seat. The two of them waited at the bank door early.
Perhaps banks nowadays do not have as strict supervision as in later generations. There is no monitoring or infrared, and entry and exit depends entirely on passwords and keys.
There is a master key in Tong Jia's space. Tao Junle learned how to listen to the sound to determine the correct password when he was in the United States.
So, with the tacit cooperation of these two people, a series of bank doors were quickly opened.
Of course, at the bank in Star City, the two men were still very ethical and did not touch the bank's vault.
He went straight to Tao Junle's grandfather's safe, opened it, took out the things inside, and left the bank immediately.
Next, it was their next stop - the cemetery.
Grandpa Tao Junle had already stated that he wanted to be buried with grandma. The tombstone had already been carved, and all that was left was to write the words on it.
The two men had no taboos and found the relevant tools from the cemetery management office. They first put the grandfather into the coffin, and after Tao Junle opened the tomb, they used space to place the coffin into the tomb.
Afterwards, Tao Junle restored the tomb, and Tong Jia was responsible for painting the words with paint.
Thanks to the complete range of products in the small commodity market, Tong Jia found incense, candles and ingots in the space.
After burying their grandfather according to the general process of burning incense, offering sacrifices, and burning paper, the two of them entered the space again.
After tossing and turning for a whole night, both of them were a little tired, especially Tao Junle, who was not only mentally exhausted but also sad.
After returning to the RV, we each fell asleep in an aviation seat.
The first person to wake up was Tao Junle. He looked at his watch. It was seven twenty.
Because he felt like he had slept for a long time and was not sure whether it was morning or evening, he looked up at the four-way surveillance camera, trying to judge the time by the surveillance images.
Also, since it was summer in Star City, the sky was almost the same whether it was daytime or evening, so he only watched the surveillance footage from the capital.
This sight was not a big deal, it scared him to death.
Qin Hanyi appeared in the surveillance video.
Originally, she would not go to the attic, but early this morning, the neighbor next door asked her child to bring a small bag of cornmeal to their house, saying that it was for them to use for making dumplings for the Winter Solstice in two days.
Based on the principle of reciprocity, Qin Hanyi wanted Tong Jia to go and give the other person a sausage as a token of gratitude for their kindness.
I called Tong Jia several times, but she didn't respond.
Worried about Tong Jia's health, she went to Tong Jia's attic for the third time since moving in.
As it turned out, there was no one in the attic.
I touched the quilt and it was cold.
After Qin Hanyi touched the door, her blood ran cold. She carefully recalled everything that happened after she returned home yesterday. She was very sure that except for the time when someone came to deliver cornmeal this morning and opened the door, no one had opened the door at other times.
While she was thinking about these things, Tao Junle saw her on the surveillance camera and quickly woke Tong Jia up.
Tong Jia, who was half asleep, only heard Tao Junle say something like "it's dawn" and "her mother", but she didn't hear anything else.
So, he opened his eyes, left the RV in a daze, and returned to his attic.
So, Qin Hanyi, who was worried that it was Tong's family coming to cause trouble and was about to go to the police to find the child, made a tender eye contact with Tong Jia, who was wearing clown makeup.
After seeing Qin Hanyi's eyes, Tong Jia instantly woke up, with only one thought in her mind: It's over, I've been discovered.
