Republic of China: My great warlord, many children, many blessings.

Such a large-scale event quickly attracted the attention of many people.

Manager Wanfa also received the news and immediately chose to abandon his escape plan.

Damn it, is it really necessary to make such a big fuss just to scam you out of a little money?

Does the third young mistress of the Jin family have such great power?

At sea, on the railway, at various intersections in Hebei, damn it, this guy is insane.

So, in just two hours, they found Wanfa's manager near Qinhuangdao.

Rather than saying he found it, it's more accurate to say that this guy reported himself.

He knew he had offended a powerful figure and was trapped all over the country; the longer he was found, the worse his fate would be.

Upon hearing the news on the phone that Wanfa's manager had been found, Bai Xiuzhu jumped up with joy and gave Shen Hao a big kiss.

Wang Yufen, who was standing to the side, also burst into tears of joy and hugged Bai Xiuzhu tightly.

Shen Hao said, "Alright, calm down. In about an hour, that manager from Wanfa will be here. You can figure out how to deal with him then."

Wang Yufen took a deep breath and said excitedly, "Thank you, Governor Shen. Without you, I really don't know what I would have done."

241. The matter of 50,000 silver dollars for one shot

Wang Yufen wore a purple cheongsam, her figure voluptuous and alluring. She wasn't slender, but rather slightly plump, exuding femininity. Her figure was exquisitely beautiful, like a ripe peach.

Her hair was pulled up high, and she had a classic oval face with fair, delicate, and flawless skin.

With willow-leaf eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, and red lips, coupled with the air of nobility she had possessed since childhood, she was the epitome of a refined lady.

Especially with tears welling up in her eyes, it didn't seem out of place at all; instead, it made her even more charming and beautiful.

If she were to wear mourning clothes, she would definitely be a beautiful widow, and her charm would increase dramatically.

Seemingly sensing Shen Hao's gaze, Wang Yufen's heart raced slightly. Instead of being annoyed, she subtly shifted her posture.

She was afraid she wouldn't be beautiful enough.

Wang Yufen is a realistic person.

Being swindled out of 50,000 silver dollars was a drop in the ocean for Shen Hao, but a heavy blow for Wang Yufen.

This is all the wealth she has accumulated over the years. If she can't get this money back, it will be worse than killing her.

Therefore, with Shen Hao's help, Wang Yufen found Wanfa's manager and was very grateful to Shen Hao.

At the same time, Wang Yufen gained a new understanding of power.

Having witnessed Shen Hao's power, they realized that a high official position does not necessarily equate to great power.

Jin Quan made several phone calls, but to no avail.

Shen Hao made a phone call, and the entire Hebei and Tianjin regions, including the sea, railways, and all pipelines, were blocked.

The thorough investigation of every household in Hebei Province is something Jin Quan simply couldn't achieve. Without comparison, there is no harm; but with this comparison, the weight of the matter immediately becomes clear.

This also made Wang Yufen feel admiration for Shen Hao.

When people worship something, they develop a servile mentality.

Subconsciously, one might listen to or obey a certain person.

If you worship money, then when you see a wealthy person, you will choose to submit and try to please them.

You idolize good looks. When you see a handsome man or a beautiful woman, you subconsciously submit and become a simp.

Those who worship power and become its lackeys, devoid of their own dignity, will turn to power and become its lackeys when they see someone with authority.

However, Shen Hao fit almost all of them.

He is rich, powerful, and good-looking; he is top-notch in almost every aspect.

There is no reason not to worship.

Therefore, when Wang Yufen discovered that Shen Hao was looking at her, her first thought was not to cover herself up, but to figure out how to make Shen Hao enjoy the look.

She was also worried that Shen Hao might feel uncomfortable watching it.

They tried every means to make sure Shen Hao got his fill of watching.

She herself was unaware of this subconscious feeling.

As time passed, an hour quickly went by.

But for Wang Yufen, that one hour felt like an eternity.

I've been suffering internally.

When Wanfa's manager was brought before Shen Hao, Wang Yufen completely lost her temper.

"Governor Shen, the man is now in your hands."

Shen Hao said, "Okay, thank you for your help."

After everyone left, Wang Yufen kicked Manager Wanfa in the face without saying a word.

"You bastard, you're running around for me again."

Liar, big liar.

You dare to swindle money from anyone? I'll beat you to death.

You bastard, you cheated me out of my money!

As Wang Yufen hit and cursed, several red fingernail marks appeared on Manager Wanfa's face in a short time.

Sure enough, when women fight, scratching is always their signature move.

Neither Shen Hao nor Bai Xiuzhu stopped them.

Wang Yufen had been holding it in for so long, she still needed to vent.

After finishing, Wang Yufen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I felt much more relaxed.

Shen Hao then asked, "How much money did you swindle this time?"

Manager Wanfa said, "They swindled a total of 200,000 silver dollars."

Upon hearing this, Shen Hao was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected that someone would be so audacious as to swindle so much money.

Shen Hao asked, "Where's the money?"

Manager Wanfa said, "All the money is gone."

Wang Yufen felt as if she had been struck by lightning; her vision went black, and she almost fainted. Her red lips trembled with anger.

His face turned deathly pale, and he said in disbelief:

"So much money? How could it be? Where did it all go?"

"They've all been given to Bai Lang's rebel army," Manager Wanfa said, and Wang Yufen immediately fainted.

Fifty thousand silver dollars—that was practically going to cost her her life.

As the investigation progressed, Shen Hao was surprised to discover that the manager of Wanfa was actually a member of the Tongmenghui (Chinese Revolutionary Alliance). He hadn't spent the money he had swindled; instead, he had used it all to support Bai Lang.

Shen Hao had to admire him, but despite his admiration, he still had to die.

Therefore, Shen Hao said, "He's colluding with bandits; drag him out and execute him."

"Yes"

"You can't kill me. Let the law judge me. You can't use the death penalty indiscriminately under the Three Principles of the People."

Manager Wanfa wept bitterly;

But Shen Hao completely ignored him; he was just an ant.

Seeing Wang Yufen faint, Shen Hao pinched her philtrum.

After a moment, Wang Yufen slowly opened her eyes.

Once she regained consciousness, two lines of tears immediately streamed down her beautiful eyes.

Fifty thousand silver dollars—that's what she'd saved up over the years through frugality.

It was gone in an instant; it was almost fatal for her.

For Wang Yufen, money is her source of confidence.

Upon waking up, she was immediately filled with heartache, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

Thinking about it, her husband is a complete idiot and can't be relied on at all. He's made her a widow for so many years. Now, her only support, the 50,000 silver dollars, is gone, and her emotional support is gone too.

The more she thought about it, the more wronged Wang Yufen felt, and the more she cried, the more heartbroken she became. At first, she was just sobbing, but then she burst into loud sobs.

It seems she wants to vent all the grievances she's held in for years.

Seeing her cousin so heartbroken, Bai Xiuzhu felt extremely distressed.

His eyes were also red, and he gently hugged Wang Yufen, patting her shoulder and comforting her.

Fifty thousand silver dollars—not to mention how upset Wang Yufen was, it was a huge sum for the Bai family as well.
