Age: My Small World

Chapter 496 Thief
Yang Jun did not drain the pond to catch fish. It would not be a good thing to destroy all the other people's jade.

So he absorbed a wave of energy with great restraint, and then retired.

But before he could go out with his grin on his face, he heard a burst of whispering.

"Brother Dong, it's not a good idea for us to do this. What if the factory manager finds out?" a voice said timidly.

"What could the factory director know? Everyone saw us go back to the dormitory to sleep, and we didn't alarm anyone when we went out just now. We just need to keep this matter to ourselves until tomorrow. Who will suspect us then?" The other voice sounded premeditated and very confident.

"But this is stealing from collective funds. If we get caught, will we be sent to a labor camp?"

"Are you going to continue working or not? Is your mother's illness incurable? Does your sister still want a dowry? How long will it take for you to earn that little bit of money?"

In the end, the cowardly voice was defeated by the other person's sharp words.

Yang Jun looked out in the moonlight and saw two of his companions walking towards him.

He was in a jade processing workshop, behind which was a metal processing workshop, which contained a lot of heavy metals. I'm afraid the two men's target was not jade, but to steal the metals for money.

Metals are really valuable these days; even ordinary iron can be sold at a high price.

On the contrary, the value of jade is not that high, especially cheap raw jade.

He quietly hid himself behind the jade, wanting to see what his two colleagues were doing.

I saw two figures, one tall and one short, approaching, but they didn't notice Yang Jun in the corner.

One of them was a little nervous, while the other looked indifferent.

Contrary to what one might imagine, the tall person is the most nervous, while the short person is the most confident.

"Don't tremble anymore. If you're this scared, how are you going to hide it tomorrow? I'm warning you, if you tell anyone about this tomorrow, you'll have to handle it all by yourself, or I won't marry your sister."

Yang Jun was immediately shocked. It turned out that his brother-in-law and elder brother-in-law were working together to get him a betrothal gift and dowry, and he was the one who benefited from it all.

"I understand, Brother Dong. I'm sure there will be no problem." The tall man pretended to be calm.

As expected, the two of them left the jade workshop and came to the metal processing workshop at the back.

They are worthy of being employees here. They know that copper is the most valuable, so they go straight to where the copper is stored.

"Brother Dong, it's so heavy."

Tall people are not fat, so their strength is limited.

The short Brother Dong actually got more than him.

The two men returned the same way with difficulty, carrying several copper blocks.

At this moment, Yang Jun heard noise coming from the factory gate again.

His mental power covered the area and he immediately saw the security guard on duty coming in with a flashlight. This was a routine inspection.

"Wait." The short man grabbed the tall man, and the two of them stopped not far from Yang Jun, which made him nervous for a moment.

But after entering the small world a little and coming out, his position shifted to the other side.

"It's time for inspection. Don't make any noise and wait for five minutes." It can be seen that the short man felt a little guilty about being checked in by the guard. At that time, they were blocked in the workshop and had no way to escape.

The anxious air made the atmosphere tense.

Fortunately, five minutes later, the guard showed no intention of entering the workshop to check and left again.

The two breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hurry up and go."

Watching them leave, Yang Jun thought about it and simply followed them.

He also has a temporary police identity, and he deserves a certificate if he is a bit more righteous. Once he finds the buyer, he can catch them all in one fell swoop.

Although it is interesting to listen to the experiences of the tall and short people, this is not a reason for them to commit crimes.

The short man led the tall man over a low wall as if he was familiar with the place. There were stones placed there for stepping on. After leaving, the short man kicked the stone into the pile of stones, leaving no evidence.

When Yang Jun went out, he gently placed his hand on the edge of the wall, then jumped up and went out lightly.

When his skills have reached perfection, he can perform some actions that once seemed sci-fi to him, such as the relatively simple flying over eaves and walking on walls in martial arts novels, which are considered the basic skills of a master.

After the two of them came out, he found himself on another street. It was deserted and very cold. It was obvious that it was not a place where people lived.

The further we walked, the more desolate and dilapidated the houses looked.

It was not until they came to a rotten courtyard wall overgrown with weeds that the two men finally pulled out a wheelbarrow and placed the copper block on it.

The weight of nearly 100 kilograms fell from their hands, and they all took a deep breath.

"Huh~ Brother Dong, where are we going now?" The tall man asked the question on behalf of Yang Jun.

Brother Dong raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's go. I'll introduce you to some of my good friends. It will be beneficial to you in the future."

Since he was about to marry his sister, Brother Dong treated him as his own, otherwise he would not have taken him with him to steal copper.

While they were talking, they had come to a fork in the road.

Brother Dong carried the handlebars of the cart and walked into an alley. The tall man behind him hurriedly helped push the cart and caught up.

The alley was quite deep, but this was not their destination.

Yang Jun followed them for a full hour before they finally stopped.

They passed through three sparsely populated alleys, which also had several forks in the road. If he hadn't been following, it would probably not have been easy to find such a road.

Finally, the two stopped in front of a yard in a deep alley.

This courtyard is close to several quadrangles. From the walls we can see that they were originally one, but now they do not have a shared courtyard. Instead, each courtyard has its own branch. I'm afraid they were divided by new walls built by people from the street.

"Knock, knock, knock." The knocking on the door late at night was so dull, but it was still heard by the people in the yard.

A young man wearing a dog-skin hat opened the door, took a look at the short man's face, and immediately shouted, "Next time, damn it, wait until daybreak before coming. You always disturb my sleep in the middle of the night."

Brother Dong, who originally looked confident, now smiled cautiously.

"Yes, yes, Master Li, I was not sensible today, you see..."

"Come in...wait."

"Who's this guy behind you?"

The tall man's conspicuous figure made the young man alert.

"Liu'er, why don't you come over and meet Master Li."

"Master Li..."

The tall man called out haltingly, and when he got closer, Brother Dong introduced him with a smile, "This is my brother-in-law Zhu Shun. He's the sixth child in the family, so we usually call him Liu'er."

When the young man heard this, he immediately waved his hand impatiently: "Since you all know each other, then come in."

The two men immediately unloaded the things from the car and followed the young man into the house.

Seeing the two struggling, the young man raised his eyebrows: "Xiao Dong, it looks like you've made a good harvest today."

"thanks to you."
