Chapter 260 Space is Abandoned
Early the next morning, the Shen family was shrouded in chaos and anger.
"What's going on?" Old Madam Shen, leaning on a cane and supported by her maid, hurried to the treasury. When she saw the empty storehouse, she was so angry that she trembled all over.
The eldest lady followed behind, her face full of panic: "Mother, how could this treasury be robbed?"
Shen Mingchen frowned and paced back and forth in the warehouse: "No one noticed it last night. The thief's method is too clever."
The second wife screamed in a shrill voice: "Is there a traitor? Otherwise, how could it be so quiet!"
Shen Mingfeng echoed, "Madam, you are right. It must be someone familiar with our Shen family who did it!"
At this time, a servant came to report: "My lords, all the private vaults have been robbed, no one has been spared."
"What!" Mrs. Shen's eyes went dark and she almost fainted.
The eldest lady quickly stepped forward to support Old Madam Shen and patted her back gently: "Mother, you must take care of yourself."
Shen Mingchen gnashed his teeth and said, "This matter must be thoroughly investigated. Find this hateful thief and make him pay the price!"
The second wife rolled her eyes and said sarcastically, "Humph, do we still need to investigate? I think it was Shen Minghui and his wife Lin Yuxi who were kicked out of the house who did it!"
"Second brother and sister-in-law, don't say such nonsense." The eldest lady looked hypocritically surprised, "Although the third brother and his family were kicked out of the house, they would not do such a petty theft."
"Sister-in-law, you are just kind-hearted." The second wife curled her lips, "My third brother was kicked out of the Shen family penniless, so how could he not want to come back to get some money? Who knew that when he saw the huge storehouse, he couldn't stop himself and couldn't help but take a little more!"
Shen Mingfeng also said: "I think it was them, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence? One foot was kicked out of the house, and the next foot our house was robbed."
Madam Shen panted and said, "Send someone to find them. I want to ask them in person!"
Shen Mingchen immediately ordered: "Send more people, we must find them."
……
However, the people sent out searched for a whole day but found nothing.
"A bunch of rubbish!" Shen Mingchen was so angry that he threw the teacup to the ground, "You can't even find two people."
The second wife fanned the flames: "Brother, I said they were guilty and must be hiding."
The eldest lady sighed: "If it is really them who did it, it is really chilling."
Old Madam Shen sat on the chair with a gloomy face: "No matter if it was them or not, this account will be counted on them. If they hadn't refused to listen to the advice, how could my Shen family have been hit by such a disaster!"
……
At this time, Shen Minghui and Lin Yuxi, who were suspected by everyone in the Shen family, were in a ravine not far from the exile team. They wanted to confirm whether the signal jammer they had taken the trouble to sneak in was working!
Lin Yuxi observed the scene across the street with a telescope and said, "Husband, I don't know what's going on with the Shen family now. Do you think they still think we stole something?"
Shen Minghui thought about the Shen family's behavior and reluctantly confirmed his wife's speculation, "My wife, don't worry, those who are innocent will be innocent. They can't wrongly accuse us of something we didn't do."
……
On the other hand, the Shen family was still making a fuss about the theft.
The Second Madam lost her temper at the servants: "Go and look for it again. If you can't find it, don't come back!"
The servant responded tremblingly and hurried out to continue searching.
The eldest lady said to Shen Mingchen in the room: "Master, if this matter gets out, the reputation of our Shen family will be ruined."
Shen Mingchen said solemnly: "First, find the things back, and we can talk about the other things later."
After a few days, there was still no news from Shen Minghui and Lin Yuxi.
Madam Shen was furious: "These two evil creatures stole things and hid without a trace. When we catch them, we will punish them severely!"
The second wife added fuel to the fire, "Mother is right. We can't let them get away with it."
Everyone in the Shen family has their own thoughts about this theft, and the atmosphere at home is tense and depressing.
After some time, there was still no progress.
Old Madam Shen was also gradually becoming exhausted: "Where on earth did these two guys go?"
……
Lin Yuxi and Shen Minghui were paying close attention to Jiang Wan's situation across from them, completely unaware that the Shen family had given them a lot of roles!
"Husband, look, Jiang Wan has found a hidden place. I'm afraid she's about to take action!"
Lin Yuxi tightened her grip around the telescope. The answer was about to be revealed. Was it useful?
Shen Minghui narrowed his eyes and focused his gaze over there.
……
Jiang Wan found a secluded corner, took a deep breath, and called silently: "Little elf, enter the space!"
Her eyes were full of anticipation. She wondered what the upgraded space would look like.
It should be possible to sow seeds with one thought and harvest with one thought, right?
It would be even more perfect if it could be equipped with a processing plant!
However, Jiang Wan fantasized for a long time, only to find that she was still in the same place, and had not entered the space at all! And the elf who always responded to her calls in the past, unexpectedly did not respond at all today!
Jiang Wan felt a little uneasy and called out again hurriedly: "Little elf, come out quickly, my space has not been upgraded successfully yet?"
There was still silence all around, which made her heart beat faster and her brows furrowed slightly.
She bit her lip and tried again: "Little elf, don't scare me, answer me quickly!" There was a hint of urgency in her voice, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Still no response, Jiang Wan's face gradually turned pale, she muttered to herself in panic: "How could this happen? Impossible, the elf said that the space has been stockpiled 100%, it will be upgraded to a planting space!"
As she spoke, she frantically tried to open the space again, "There must be something wrong. It must be able to be opened."
After trying several times, the space still did not respond. Jiang Wan's body began to tremble slightly, and the expectation in her eyes had long been replaced by fear and anxiety.
"What's going on? Where's my space? Why is there none at all?" Her voice was filled with tears, her legs went limp, and she almost collapsed to the ground.
Jiang Wan suppressed her inner panic and tried to comfort herself: "It's not upgraded yet. Yes, it must not be upgraded yet. Let's wait and see later. Let's wait and see later."
But her eyes were extremely empty, and it was obvious that this self-comfort did not have much effect.
……
At this time, Lin Yuxi, who was observing all this from a distance with a telescope, was delighted and couldn't help but ask Shen Minghui for confirmation, "Husband, look at Jiang Wan's expression, she is nervous and flustered at the same time, did we succeed?"
Shen Minghui observed for a while and said, "It seems that there is really a problem? Let's keep an eye on it for a few more days to see if it will always be unable to be opened, and then draw a conclusion!"
