Chapter 259: Emptying the Shen Family
Jiang Wan arranged for the errand and went out to buy things. She was dressed in a coarse linen shirt, but it couldn't hide the agility and shrewdness in her eyes.
"Remember, you must come back within half an hour." The escort warned impatiently.
Jiang Wan nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, sir, I will return on time." After that, she walked quickly towards the bustling street.
The streets were crowded with people and shouts were heard one after another. Jiang Wan looked around nonchalantly, but she was actually thinking about her actions for the evening. She was still short of 5% of the supplies, where could she get them?
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" The sound of hurried horse hooves and shouts broke the tranquility of the street.
Jiang Wan quickly dodged to the side, only to see a gorgeous carriage speeding past, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"Hmph, these dignitaries are always so arrogant." Jiang Wan muttered softly and brushed off the dust on her body.
At this time, several passers-by gathered together and talked.
"This must be the Shen family's carriage. Look at the grandeur!" said a middle-aged man in coarse linen clothes.
"The Shen family? But the powerful Shen family?" A young man came over and asked curiously.
"That's right! Is there any other Shen family in this city that can be so powerful?" The middle-aged man curled his lips.
"I heard that the third master of the Shen family and his wife were recently kicked out of the Shen family, and their relationship was severed. They didn't even take a penny with them. They are so pitiful!" An old lady carrying a basket of vegetables couldn't help but interrupt.
"What? Is this true? Isn't the Third Master of the Shen Family the most promising one in the Shen Family? How could he end up like this?" The young man widened his eyes in surprise.
"Who knows? Maybe he offended the elders in the family, or maybe he made some mistakes." The old lady shook her head and sighed.
"Alas, we ordinary people can't tell the truth about the affairs of the rich and powerful families." The middle-aged man sighed.
Everyone sighed and then dispersed.
Jiang Wan was moved when she heard the news. Wasn't this Third Master of the Shen Family the son-in-law of the Lin Family who came to visit them today?
Did he get kicked out just after returning?
Do you have to be so unlucky?
Even though I only met him once, I helped them anyway. How could he end up like this?
Jiang Wan felt a surge of sympathy and anger in her heart. Humph, the Shen family is so ruthless, I will make them pay tonight!
She decided that she would go to Shen's house tonight!
It was all because Jiang Wan was incompetent that the Shen family could not afford to lose a single grain of rice!
Jiang Wan gritted her teeth secretly and then quickened her pace of purchasing.
……
Returning to the exile team, Jiang Wan calmly put the things she bought into the space. Under her seemingly calm face, she was quickly planning her actions for the evening.
Lin Ruiyuan was lying on a simple cart, his leg pain made him frown slightly, but he was too stubborn to say anything. Lin Ruichi was resting on the side, watching over his brother at any time: "Brother, how do you feel? Is the medicine Yuxi brought effective?"
Lin Ruiyuan nodded. This medicine is indeed effective. It has a slight cooling sensation and the muscles in his legs feel loose. "It's effective. If I keep using it for a while, I should be almost healed!"
"Really? That's great. I'll take the medicine from them and give it to Big Brother first!"
Lin Wanqing was helping her mother and grandmother pack their luggage not far away. Looking at the full bags of things that Lin Yuxi brought, her eyes were full of joy!
Jiang Wan walked to Lin Ruiyuan, squatted down gently, and said in a low voice: "Husband, you have a good rest. I will think of a way to give you a snack tomorrow! You will recover soon!"
Lin Ruiyuan held Jiang Wan's hand and said, "I'm sorry for the trouble!"
……
As night fell, everyone was exhausted and fell asleep. Jiang Wan found a corner and made sure no one was paying attention. She silently said in her heart: "Teleport: Shen Family Treasury."
In an instant, her figure disappeared from the spot and appeared in the Shen family's treasury.
Jiang Wan looked at the luxurious and complicated scene in front of her and couldn't help but marvel in her heart. The boxes full of gold, silver and jewelry exuded a dazzling light, and the silk and satin were piled up like a mountain.
She gently stroked a piece of fine silk and said to herself, "I never expected the Shen family to be so wealthy. They are almost as rich as the nobles in the capital! But it's just right, it's a bargain for me!"
"Collect!" With Jiang Wan's light shout, the mountains of silks, satins, gold, silver and jewelry in front of her instantly disappeared from the spot and were collected by her into the mysterious space.
"Yes, the next one is the Shen family's private vault!"
Jiang Wan clapped her hands contentedly, turned around and teleported towards the Shen family’s various private vaults!
When she came to the first private vault, she found that there were many precious antiques, calligraphy and paintings stored there. Jiang Wan was not polite and silently said "collect" in her heart, and took away these priceless treasures one by one.
Then, she found the Shen family’s private warehouse where precious medicinal materials were stored.
Looking at the shelves full of thousand-year-old ginseng, ganoderma lucidum and other rare medicinal herbs, Jiang Wan couldn't stop smiling: "Haha, these are all good things, the Shen family hid them really well, but now they all belong to me!"
Without hesitation, she used her magical powers once again to store all the herbs into the space.
Jiang Wan shuttled between the various private vaults of the Shen family, and wherever she went, she emptied them all. The Shen family's huge wealth was moved away by her in just a few hours.
When the last private vault was emptied, Jiang Wan stood in the empty vault and said with a smug smile: "Shen family, Shen family, I let you bully my sister-in-law, this is retribution!"
After saying that, she disappeared into the night in a flash, leaving only the empty warehouses of the Shen family as witnesses of tonight's bizarre events.
When Jiang Wan returned to the exile team, she lay down contentedly and finally heard the elf's announcement.
[Congratulations, Master. The current stockpiling task has been completed. We are now starting to upgrade the space. Please wait patiently...]
After hearing this, Jiang Wan closed her eyes and began to rest, preparing to open this surprise tomorrow.
……
Lin Yuxi and Shen Minghui, who knew that Jiang Wan would take action tonight, were discussing this matter at the moment.
"Husband, do you think what we did is of any use to her space?" Lin Yuxi frowned slightly, with a hint of worry in her beautiful eyes.
Shen Minghui pondered for a moment, held Lin Yuxi's hand, and comforted her: "Don't worry, my lady, in my opinion, the signal jammer we carefully arranged should still be able to play a role.
That was made of the alien rocks that were accidentally obtained in our previous world. If placed in your space, it can disrupt the magnetic field and interfere with the operation of the space!
Jiang Wan’s space is probably no exception!
Only by using the signal jammer to cut off the connection between Jiang Wan and the elf, Jiang Wan's golden finger would be useless!
It's a pity that all the supplies she had stored in the space were wasted!"
Lin Yuxi sighed softly, "I hope so. If we can't stop her this time, who knows how much trouble will arise in the future."
Shen Minghui's eyes were firm. "Don't worry. Even if we fail to completely block her space this time, we can still find another opportunity and solve it properly."
"I don't know where this Jiang Wan came from. Not only does she have the ability to travel across space, she can also teleport."
Lin Yuxi shook her head slightly, "It's not written in the original plot, but it appears quite a lot in this teleportation apocalypse novel. It's a basic ability of space power users. When they reach a high level, they can wield space blades to kill people and become invisible."
At this point, Lin Yuxi speculated, "Do you think Jiang Wan came from the end of the world? Is that why she is so keen on buying for free?"
"No matter where she comes from, we must stop her from being so reckless! If we really use all the resources to upgrade her crappy space, this world will probably be on the verge of natural disasters and man-made disasters, with casualties everywhere!"
