However, he felt that he owed Tangtang a favor.

If the little girl had not told him where "A Tu" was buried, he would never have had the chance to visit his elder brother's grave in his life.

"Let me talk to you for a moment"

After arriving at an empty alley, Dai Jinyuan cupped his fists towards the little girl and said, "I am Dai Jinyuan, the Phantom Thief. I am here to steal a secret from the Jiang family on someone's behalf."

secret?

Tangtang took the opportunity to ask more questions, and the man briefly explained the situation of the Jiang family.

The Jiang family is one of the richest families in the town, but they did not get rich by relying on their background or intelligence, but entirely on the selfless dedication of their people.

Why do you say that?

Because all the long-term workers in his family only earned 30% of what other long-term workers earned every month.

The money was not much, and there was only one benefit - Mr. Jiang would give out some pancakes to everyone every month. Sometimes the pancakes were even moldy, which was enough to make anyone cry.

Even so, the farmhands were still loyal and worked hard for the Jiang family. It would be unreasonable if the Jiang family did not prosper.

"Is that the spinning top?"

Thinking of the scene she saw today, the little girl immediately had a guess.

“It’s probably not just because of the spinning top.”

Dai Jinyuan sighed and said, "Miss Tangtang, you have seen what happened today. The Jiang family doesn't treat people as human beings at all. Every year, I don't know how many poor farmhands die of exhaustion under their hands. Every copper coin in the hands of this family is stained with blood and tears."

The little girl always thought that stealing was a bad thing, but this time, she felt that Dai Jinyuan was right to steal the spinning top!

........

"I have discovered the secret room of the Jiang family and will finish it tonight."

After Dai Jinyuan finished speaking, he looked up at the sky and prepared to send Tangtang home.

“Uncle Dai, who hired you to steal this secret?”

Although the little girl has done me a favor, this question really cannot be answered.

"A big boss," he said vaguely.

Tangtang didn't ask further questions, but instead asked worriedly, "If you give the spinning top to that big boss, will he use it on his employees as well?"

Varied......

Dai Jinyuan has never thought about this question.

After his expression changed several times, he forced a smile and said, "That boss is a righteous man, generous, he should not be a greedy person."

“I wish it were so.”

The little girl shook her head and said, "If it's another bad guy, I don't know how many people will be unlucky in the future."

Dai Jinyuan fell silent, thinking about a problem.

Regardless of whether he is a good guy or a bad guy, the employer is a big boss who started from scratch.

So, how can you start from scratch and become a big boss?

Be a righteous person, or be generous?

This kind of personality may contribute to success, but it is not the key.

The key is to seize every opportunity to make money, seize every opportunity, and work hard to make a lot of money!

After thinking it through thoroughly, Dai Jinyuan silently took out the gyroscope and smashed it hard against the wall.

Bang

Although all his strength was used, the gyroscope remained intact.

"That won't work. Look at Tangtang."

The little girl took out a smooth white stone from her arms and knocked it hard on the spinning top on the ground.

"Thank you very much"

Dai Jinyuan smiled and said, "I just thought about it carefully and I think it's better to destroy this harmful spinning top."

"kindness!"

.........

After sending the little girl back to the village, Dai Jinyuan returned to the town under the cover of night.

After staring at the peaceful Jiang family mansion in the darkness for a while, the man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

All his skills lie in the art of walking through walls. If the Jiang family has already discovered that the gyroscope has been swapped, and they are on full alert, this trip might be a bit dangerous.

"The reason why we haven't noticed it yet is that he wants to prevent everyone from being lazy, so he has been spinning tops in the cabin until now."

With a mocking and indignant smile on his face, Dai Jinyuan walked through the wall!

He had sneaked into the Jiang family's house many times late at night and knew that there was a secret room inside that was used to store important things.

The reason why we didn't act rashly before was because the eldest son of the Jiang family slept in a secret room every night.

That guy didn't even sleep on the bed, but slept on top of three big boxes. It was really hard to find a chance.

Later one night, Dai Jinyuan overheard Mr. Jiang handing a treasure to his son and asking him to go outside to supervise the workers renovating the ancestral temple.

Out of curiosity, he tried every means to blend in with the workers.

The result is...

The Phantom Thief gnashed his teeth in hatred when he thought about how much suffering he would have to endure if someone hadn't created the opportunity for him today.

Going straight into the secret room, Dai Jinyuan opened the three large wooden boxes one by one.

All I saw inside were some yellowed round papers that looked very old.

He frowned and poured out everything in the wooden box, and finally found a booklet in the pile of papers.

When I opened it, I found that it actually recorded the inheritance of a practitioner.

After reading it carefully, Dai Jinyuan broke out in sweat on his forehead.

The yellow papers on the ground can be made into cakes after being fried in oil.

If you give people food, they will believe whatever you say.

Of course, only fresh cakes made with the art of drawing cakes have such power. For moldy old cakes, you have to spend some money to stabilize people's hearts.

'Fortunately, fortunately no one has actually learned the spells in it.'

Otherwise, with fresh pancakes and an automatic gyroscope, you can become the richest man in the city, not to mention the richest man in the town.

........

"Which animal created such a vicious spell? It almost exhausted your grandfather Dai to death!"

Dai Jinyuan took out a fire starter, lit the booklet directly and threw it into the pile of papers.

He took two steps outside, thought for a moment, then put the most valuable antique vase in the secret room into his arms, and then used the wall-walking skill to run away.

The flames burned fiercely and soon spread from the secret room to other rooms.

"It's on fire, it's on fire!"

The entire Jiang family was alarmed, and the noise spread far away, making the Phantom Thief, who had hidden in the darkness again, grin.

Ha-ha~

As he was laughing, he yawned loudly, and fatigue surged through his whole body.

But the matter is not over yet, Dai Jinyuan still has to give an explanation to his employer.

Fighting back his sleepiness, he hurried to a private house.

"Notify Boss Zhong and tell him I have found the result."

After talking to the contact person, Dai Jinyuan lay down on the table and took a nap.

"Brother Dai!"

The kind voice woke the thief from his sleep. He stood up and clasped his fists towards the middle-aged man in front of him and said, "Brother Zhong, I got this vase from the Jiang family. Do you like it?"

"Brother, you have the leisure to do this. It seems that you have known the secret of the Jiang family."

Boss Zhong glanced casually at the antique vase and said with a laugh.

Chapter 379 Brothers are fighting against each other

Dai Jinyuan deliberately concealed the existence of the booklet and Tangtang, and then told his discovery.

At first, Boss Zhong listened with a smile, and from time to time he sympathized with Dai Jinyuan and denounced the evil young man from the Jiang family.

But when he heard Dai Jinyuan smash the gyroscope with a stone, his expression began to look strange.

When the thief admitted that he had burned all the paper cakes, Boss Zhong's forehead was throbbing with veins and he almost slammed the table and stood up.

"Brother Dai"

He spoke slowly and clearly, "Why did you smash and burn such a rare thing? It would be better to bring it back to open my eyes."

Seeing Dai Jinyuan remained silent, Boss Zhong laughed in anger: "Brother, you don't believe me! Do you think I will become the second Jiang family?"

The second Chiang family?

That's overestimating the Jiang family.

Brother, you started from scratch, but the wealth you have accumulated now is in no way inferior to that of the Jiang family.

If there were spinning tops and paper cakes, what would the Jiang family be? Just a local bumpkin.

"Brother Zhong, you are a righteous man and have a reputation for generosity. I believe you can resist the temptation."

Dai Jinyuan said sincerely: "But then again, why should I go to such lengths to let you face temptation?"

Good, good you, you Phantom Thief, good you, Dai Jinyuan!

You didn't bring me the spinning top or the paper cake, but just gave me an antique vase. Do you think that's enough of an explanation?

Boss Zhong took a few deep breaths, then suddenly smiled: "Brother Dai, there is one thing I don't understand."

"Excuse me, bro."

"The Jiang family's wealth and prosperity all depend on the spinning top and the paper cakes, but where did they get these two things from? They can't have fallen from the sky, right?"

Boss Zhong looked directly into Dai Jinyuan's eyes and said, "Given your character, it's impossible for me not to investigate these things thoroughly. Are you hiding something from me?"

......

Dai Jinyuan was startled by Boss Zhong's sharpness. He subconsciously avoided his gaze and said with a forced smile, "Brother, you think too highly of me. This matter was my negligence. I need to investigate it carefully tomorrow."

Humph.

Boss Zhong regained his composure and talked about some past events leisurely.

Although Dai Jinyuan is a cultivator, his cultivation level is not very high, and all his energy is devoted to the art of walking through walls.

With his limited abilities, he couldn't make it in the world of cultivation. Even when he was traveling around the world, he had been in danger many times.

"Five years ago, my brother made a bet with someone to steal the sword of the retired sword master, and was severely injured by his sword. I searched for famous doctors and was able to save your life."

"Three years ago, my brother was captured by the Northern Spear King. It was only after I brought five boxes of gold and silver to beg for mercy that the Spear King showed mercy."

"Half a year ago..."

After Boss Zhong explained in detail his favor to Dai Jinyuan, he waved his hand and said, "Don't get me wrong, brother. I don't mean to say that you owe me so much. After all, I saved you three times, and you have repaid me three times. What I mean is that you and I have a friendship after all!"

Seeing Dai Jinyuan nod, Boss Zhong said with a smile - since you want to sell it at a good price anyway, why not sell it to me instead of others? The price is negotiable.

Hearing this, the thief's face suddenly became very ugly: "Brother, you misunderstood!"

"Misunderstand?"

Boss Zhong stroked his chin and said, "If not, why would you hide it from me?"

In fact, if Dai Jinyuan had not met Tangtang and the little girl had pointed out a certain possibility to him, he would never have thought of hiding it.

But he couldn't expose the little girl and cause her trouble, so he could only say some excuses.

The more Dai Jinyuan evaded the question, the more Boss Zhong confirmed his guess.
