Chapter 806: 804, guilty conscience Chapter 806: 804, guilty conscience Luo Shu furrowed his brows and walked to the window. He discovered the window was not closed, pushed it open, and looked down. Although it was only the second floor, the distance to the ground was not far at all. Soone could easily climb in with a chair as a boost.
“The person must have climbed in through the window, and they are well aware of your routines, knowing when you and Yhan Zhan are not at ho,” Luo Shu said. This is the Guard District, where outsiders cannot enter, so the culprit must be soone from inside.
“I’m going to report this right now,” Lin Helian said as she stood up in tears. That money was earned by Yhan Zhan with his life, and she had to recover it at all costs and bring the thief to justice.
Luo Shu released his Divine Sense and quickly noticed, in the upstairs room of Centurion Qian’s house, his sister-in-law, who was gleefully counting money. There were stacks of money, at least forty or fifty bills. It seed she was the one who took the money.
Centurion Qian’s wife was about to give birth, and fearing an accident might occur if she was left alone at ho, Centurion Qian had called his sister from the countryside to help take care of his wife.
“I’ll accompany you,” Luo Shu said. Since the incident had happened, it surely needed resolution. Whoever stole the money must be held responsible.
As they stepped outside, Luo Shu and Lin Helian ran into Sister-in-law Li from next door.
“Sister Helian, what’s wrong with you? Why are you crying?” asked Sister-in-law Li. She was just washing clothes outside her house and, having heard Lin Helian crying, ca over out of curiosity. Lin Helian should be in her pri ti of happiness, so why suddenly cry?
“My husband’s bonus was stolen,” Lin Helian sobbed. She was both angry and anxious, fearing that the thief would squander the money.
“What?! Who the hell did that?” Sister-in-law Li exclaid in shock. This is the Guard District, who would dare to do such a thing.
“Why all this fuss?” Sister-in-law Zhang, living next door to Sister-in-law Li, hearing the noise, ca outside.
“Sister Helian’s money was stolen, can’t you see this is urgent!” Sister-in-law Li quickly explained to Sister-in-law Zhang.
“What? The money is gone?” Sister-in-law Zhang scread in astonishnt.
“Exactly! It was Chief Yhan’s bonus, money that Chief Yhan risked his life for, tell , who could be so shaless to do such a thing?” Sister-in-law Li said indignantly.
Soon, their noise attracted other Guard’s Wives, and upon learning that Lin Helian’s money was stolen, everyone loudly condemned the thief.
Guo Li, hearing the noise downstairs, ca out with her swollen belly to see what was happening and was also in shock upon knowing the reason.
After standing for a while, feeling her belly swelling, Guo Li went back upstairs and rested on the living room sofa for a while until she felt a bit better. The baby was nearly due, and recently, she felt increasingly tired.
Qian Qiaoqin ca out from her room, already aware of the disturbance below, feeling sowhat uneasy, “Sister-in-law, what happened downstairs?”
Yesterday, while accompanying Guo Li on a walk, she heard about the big bonus Lin Helian’s husband had received and felt envious, wishing the bonus was hers so she could buy beautiful clothes and costics.
The more she thought about it, the more she was tempted. Rembering her visit to the backyard and seeing that the windows on the second floor were not high, she beca determined. She often climbed trees back in the countryside, such a height was no challenge for her. Thus, this morning, she climbed out of her own room and stealthily entered Lin Helian’s room, taking the money.
“Chief Yhan’s family who lives downstairs had their money stolen, and his wife is crying now. It’s such a sin, they just started having so good days, and now the money was stolen again.” Guo Li said with a face full of sympathy.
Qian Qiaoqin nodded in agreent, “Sister-in-law, the New Year is just around the corner, and I was thinking of going to the city tomorrow.” She needed to deposit that money quickly, so nobody could find it.
“Okay, when your brother cos back, I’ll arrange so money for you to buy a new outfit tomorrow,” Guo Li said. Her relationship with her sister-in-law was quite good, plus it wasn’t easy for her sister-in-law to co all the way from ho to keep her company. It was only right to buy her a new outfit for the New Year.
“Sister-in-law, I’m going downstairs to check out the situation, I will be back soon.” Qian Qiaoqin said. The discussion below was getting louder, which made her increasingly uneasy.
Guo Li smiled and nodded, “Go ahead.” Even she couldn’t resist joining in the hustle, not to ntion her sister-in-law who was in the pri of her youth.
When Qian Qiaoqin reached downstairs, she saw a group of Guard’s Wives discussing together, but Lin Helian wasn’t there.
“Ladies, what happened here?” Qian Qiaoqin asked knowingly.
“Sister Helian’s money was stolen, we don’t know who the shaless person was.”
“When we find out, I won’t let her off the hook, this is tarnishing the reputation of us Guard’s Wives.”
“After all, Sister Helian has already gone to the Guard District to complain, the mbers of the Guard are not to be trifled with, they’ll definitely find the person.”
“Exactly! I don’t know how those Guard mbers are trained. I once heard my Old Zhu saying, he has a soldier who can sketch soone’s facial features perfectly just by glancing at them once, just like looking at the real person.”
“I’ve heard sothing even more impressive…”
Qian Qiaoqin felt as though soone had struck her head hard, leaving her dizzy. At that mont, she had only thought about keeping the money for herself and completely forgot her surroundings. Now, she was both regretful and scared.
Seeing Qian Qiaoqin co back, Guo Li asked, “How did it go? Have they found out who it was?”
“Sister-in-law, I’m feeling a bit ill, I’m going to sleep for a bit,” Qian Qiaoqin said with a pale face. She now wanted to return the money, but she wasn’t sure if it was still possible.
“Go ahead.” Guo Li nodded, feeling sowhat puzzled. She was fine just before she went out, how co she felt unwell suddenly?
Qian Qiaoqin closed the door, went to the bed and took the money out from under the mattress. She looked at the money in her hands for a long ti. She felt sowhat reluctant, if she didn’t return it, she could buy many nice things. There were a whole five hundred here!
But what if soone found out if she didn’t return it? The Guard’s Wives had said those Guard mbers were very capable.
After struggling with herself for a mont, Qian Qiaoqin rolled up the money and put it in her pocket.
Walking to the window, she pushed it open wanting to climb out and return the money, but she saw several soldiers quickly running towards this direction.
