On the night the Shanghai socialite accompanied the military officer, he broke his vow.

Chapter 21 The Family Fortune is In Hand
When Song Jinyue came out of the space, only one room on the dock was lit up, and there was a lot of noise coming from inside, which sounded like people were eating and drinking.

She tiptoed to the window and eavesdropped on their conversation.

Goodness, I had no idea what I was getting into!

There were several families like Lu Weiguo who, after hearing rumors, wanted to transfer their assets and smuggle their wives and children to Hong Kong. They all spent a lot of money to find out how to get in touch with this group at the dock.

They originally thought that with the ferry tickets they could smuggle their whole family across to Hong Kong and live a life of luxury, but little did they know that this group of people were nothing more than double-crossing executioners.

After those who wanted to smuggle themselves across the border had transferred all their belongings to the dock, this group would set sail at night under the guise of smuggling, but in reality, they wanted to seize their property and throw them into the sea to feed the fish!

In the book, Lu Weiguo and his family of four were able to safely smuggle themselves into Hong Kong entirely thanks to Lu Manman's protagonist aura!

In addition, Song Jinyue learned from this group that they had already used this method to harm seven families, and that they had countless lives on their hands.

She clenched her fist. These heartless bastards, how could they lay a hand on such a small child? They deserve to die!

One of them, having had his fill of drinking, said he wanted to take out a crown passed down from the palace for the others to see. Amid the jeers of the others, he staggered out of the room, grabbed a flashlight, and headed toward the storage room next door.

Song Jinyue quietly followed him into the storeroom.

The drunken man went into the storeroom, first moved the bundle of hemp rope in the corner to the side, then squatted down and lifted up the floorboard in front of him, revealing a dark passage underneath.

No sooner had he gone down than Song Jinyue followed. The drunk man was slow to react and hadn't even realized someone was following him when Song Jinyue punched him unconscious.

Song Jinyue picked up the flashlight from the ground and shone it around the secret room, only to discover that there was a hidden world beneath the row of houses at the dock.

The secret room below was very large, filled with mahogany boxes of all sizes. Each box was marked, and each family's property was placed in a separate box.

Song Jinyue found the box marked "Song Family of Shanghai" among the piles of boxes in the secret room. She found more than 30 boxes in the secret room of the study, but there were five or six times more boxes here!
The bulk of the Song family's assets had long been transferred here by Lu Weiguo, that poor man from a humble background, but he was still not satisfied and wanted to empty the entire family's assets before he would leave.

In the end, he lifted a stone only to drop it on his own foot, and all his efforts to draw water were in vain.

Song Jinyue put all of the Song family's assets into her spatial storage. There were still several hundred boxes left in the secret room. She counted the marks on them, and there were exactly seven surnames.

In other words, all seven families have now perished...

Song Jinyue pursed her lips. As a doctor, she was used to seeing life and death in the ward.

This was the first time I'd ever seen someone so cruelly murder so many lives just for money.

This kind of ruthless madman, a stinking rat in the gutter, should spend the rest of his life in prison, rotting and decaying there!

Faced with this situation, Song Jinyue couldn't ignore it. After taking away the Song family's property, she left the secret room. As she passed by the unconscious drunkard lying on the ground, she kicked him a few more times.

After leaving the secret room, she covered the floor again and dragged a box containing counterfeit goods from the side and placed it on top of it.

Fearing the police wouldn't be able to find it, she made some marks on the ground and placed the flashlight on them.

The others were still drinking and chattering away, with a pile of empty bottles on the table. Everyone was drunk and had long forgotten about the big man who had gone to the secret room to get something.

Taking advantage of their drunkenness and near-passion, Song Jinyue locked the door from the outside.

Perhaps these people were feeling guilty, because the gate on the dock was an iron gate that they couldn't open even if they kicked their feet off, unless someone smashed the lock from the outside.

The only burly man who had escaped the room had been knocked unconscious and locked in a secret room by Song Jinyue. He couldn't even get out on his own, let alone break the lock to rescue them. After successfully completing her mission, Song Jinyue returned along the way and headed straight for the Qingcheng Public Security Bureau. She didn't go in to report the case directly, but instead placed the pre-written report letter in a spot where it could be seen as soon as she left the room, and then deliberately made some noise.

When the police officers on duty came out to check, she quickly hid in the space.

The police officers successfully obtained the letter of complaint she had written. After reading its contents, their expressions immediately turned serious. Adhering to the principle of "better safe than sorry," they quickly notified other officers to rush to the dock mentioned in the letter.

If the information in the letter is false, they will at most have made a wasted trip, but if it is true, they will never allow such criminals to continue to harm people!

……

The police successfully apprehended all the men at the dock and interrogated them all night, finally managing to get them to talk.

In order to seize other people's money and property, this group of heartless lunatics did not hesitate to murder!

It's so infuriating!
In the end, these beasts, worse than pigs and dogs, paid the price for their actions and were sentenced to death.

All the money and property they had embezzled were handed over to the authorities.

The tip-off letter was a great help. The police officers searched the neighborhood for the person who delivered the letter, but after asking around, no one had seen anyone come to the police station last night, so they had to expand the search area.

Meanwhile, Song Jinyue, who had been searched for by the police for quite some time, had already boarded a train bound for Beijing.

The sleeper tickets from Qingcheng to Beijing were sold out, so Song Jinyue had to buy a hard seat by the window.

The train was packed with people, their chests pressed against each other, and because it was summer, a strong smell of sweat permeated the carriage.

Song Jinyue felt unwell in her stomach, so she turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window to distract herself.

The train slowly moved forward, and then an older woman sat down in the seat next to her.

"Little girl, are you traveling by train alone?"

"Ah."

Where are you going?

"Jingshi."

"What a coincidence! I'm also going to Beijing! Are you going to Beijing to look for a job?"

"Ah."

Song Jinyue felt unwell and wasn't in the mood for chatting. She just answered whatever the aunt asked her casually.

She thought the conversation would end after a simple greeting, but the older woman next to her kept pressing her, asking about her whereabouts as if she were checking someone's household registration.

The aunt's eyes lit up when she heard that Song Jinyue was going to Beijing to look for a job.

"Oh my, what a coincidence! My cousin's candy factory is hiring a broadcaster. It's an easy job, and the monthly salary is thirty-five. They need a young and energetic girl like you!"

Upon hearing the older woman next to her offer to introduce her to a job, Song Jinyue, who had been leaning against the window, immediately sat up straight.
