Chapter 436: Where Did It Land?
“Yulan, enough!” Luo Zhiquan barked before turning to look at Luo Anning. “Where are the things? Go get them.”
Luo Anning shot Li Yulan a provocative glance. Just as Li Yulan was about to rush forth in anger, the menacing-looking bodyguards walked out from behind Luo Anning. Li Yulan was terrified and retreated behind Luo Zhiquan.
Luo Anning headed upstairs while the bodyguards followed after her.
“A few of you should stay behind and guard the stairs. Don’t let anyone come up.”
The bodyguards said respectfully, “Got it, Young Madam.”
Luo Anning brought a bodyguard up with her and walked towards the attic. If she remembered correctly, she once played in the attic when she was younger and accidentally found a wooden box in the corner.
The box was locked and she could not open it. As soon as she placed it back on the spot, Li Yulan came up. She could still remember the look of panic in Li Yulan’s eyes.
She heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that she was curled up and sitting on the ground with her arms wrapped around her knees. She then urged her to hurry down and stop going to the attic!
Before Li Yulan had heaved a sigh of relief, she had glanced at the wooden box.
Hence, Luo Anning was certain that there was something in the box that Li Yulan feared.
They arrived at the attic which was very different from when she was younger. There were even more piles of junk and a thick layer of dust coated everything.
The air was dry and musky.
Just as Luo Anning was about to enter, the bodyguards stopped her. “Young Madam, tell me where the item is. It’s easier for me to go in and get it.”
Luo Anning thought about it and decided to agree because she was afraid that Luo Zhiquan and Li Yulan would find out about it.
He listened to Luo Anning’s directions and description of the wooden box and nodded before putting on his gloves and entering.
He moved a few heavy boxes out of the way and found the wooden box in the corner just as Luo Anning had described.
Luo Anning exclaimed excitedly, “Oh, that’s it!”
The bodyguard nodded and picked up the box. He moved the heavy boxes back to its original position and wiped away the footprints on the dusty ground.
After leaving the attic, the bodyguard threw the wooden box down from the balcony of a guest room. The bodyguards waiting below immediately picked up the wooden box and brought it out of Waterside Residences.
When Luo Anning went downstairs, Li Yulan was waiting for her at the foot of the stairs. Seeing that she was not holding anything, she sneered in disdain, “I told you! What valuable things could you have left here!?!”
Luo Anning smirked and moved away from her without saying a word. She knocked into her shoulder and walked out.
Luo Zhiquan and Li Yulan I shall allow you to be arrogant for a few more days.
When everything comes to light, I’ll definitely make you kowtow in front of my parents’ graves and apologize! I’ll definitely make you suffer for your actions!
…
After leaving Waterside Residences, Luo Anning immediately headed to the government office and handed the wooden box to Feng Churui.
“Secretary Wu, get someone to pry the box open.”
“Yes, Mayor.”
Not long after, Secretary Wu entered with the security officers. The security officers held a pair of pliers and a hammer in their hands. After greeting them, they picked up the wooden box and placed it on the ground.
After a few loud thuds, the lock was broken.
“Mayor, it’s unlocked.” The security officer picked up the wooden box and placed it on his desk.
