Chapter 1263: Stole from Yun Geming
"Keep an eye on her, don’t let her die so easily."
"Yes, Eldest Lady!"
Le Shan would never let go of the Eldest Lady’s enemies. He thought for a moment and added, "I’ll watch her, and won’t let her have a chance to make big money!"
Gan Hua wanted to make money, but it wasn’t possible to earn it through hard work.
Since she dared to take high-interest loans, she naturally had her own means of earning money.
If Le Shan wasn’t following her 24/7, he probably wouldn’t have known that Gan Hua was actually a master thief!
However, ever since she met Nan Ming, Gan Hua hadn’t engaged in theft anymore. But now that Jixue needed money, she resumed her old trade—stealing money.
However, apart from the first successful attempt, every time she tried to steal after that, she was always noticed before succeeding, either by alert targets or due to unexpected situations. Once, if she hadn’t run fast, she would have almost been caught.
She wondered, is it because she hadn’t practiced for a long time that she’s rusty now?
Gan Hua decided to give up pickpocketing in the crowded streets and switch to breaking into houses to steal.
Moreover, she aimed at the ill-gotten wealth of corrupt officials.
Originally, according to the ancestor’s rules, one could steal from the rich but not from officials. Because, if you steal from officials and they are determined to investigate, they will find you out.
But Gan Hua was desperate. Stealing from ordinary people would take ages to accumulate fifty thousand yuan since millionaires were rare. Stealing from a corrupt official, you might get enough from just one hit.
Therefore, even though she knew she shouldn’t steal from corrupt officials, she did it anyway.
The surprising part for Mengyu was that she actually ended up targeting Yun Geming!
Gan Hua had a unique ability to smell money, so no matter how well hidden it was, she could detect it.
Yun Geming, in an effort to gather the 210,000 RMB to compensate Mengyu, sold off some ancient paintings and calligraphy he had acquired, making quite a lot of money.
Because these funds were meant to be given to Mengyu, he didn’t put them in a bank nor dared to, but instead wrapped bundles of ten thousand yuan each in newspaper, placed them into a burlap sack, and covered it with some old clothes, leaving it under the bed.
Anyone who got their hands on the sack would just assume it was filled with unused clothes, never suspecting it held a fortune in cash.
After selling things several times, he finally amassed over 200,000 yuan and was preparing to hand over 210,000 to Mengyu when Gan Hua discovered it, or more accurately, she smelled the scent of large sums of cash.
Gan Hua noticed Yun Geming one night returning from selling an ancient painting on the black market, carrying fifty thousand yuan in cash.
As a professional thief, Gan Hua easily realized that the money Yun Geming was holding was exactly the amount she needed.
She thought that if she could get her hands on that money, she could retrieve her property deed from the loansharks.
However, as Yun Geming walked home, she attempted several times to make a move but was thwarted by passersby, forcing her to follow him all the way to the Government Building. After a moment’s hesitation, Gan Hua stealthily followed him inside.
Breaking into the Government Building to steal, now that’s something.
Gan Hua quietly tailed Yun Geming to his home, and to her delight, discovered that there was quite a bit of cash there as well, estimating at least over a hundred thousand yuan.
