Chapter 91
"Is it heavy? Not too heavy! It's only about 20 kilograms."
As Jing Xian spoke, she glanced at Shang Nanchen, secretly observing his reaction, intending to snatch the box away immediately if something went wrong.
Shang Nanchen listened to Jing Xian's description, frowned, and suddenly looked at her sharply, and asked in shock: "Where did you get it from? Did you take it from those boxes?"
Those gold bars were all from the same batch, and they were numbered on them. Once any of them were found to be missing, none of them would be able to escape.
Shang Nanchen didn't blame anyone for this. He took the box and walked out. He wanted to put the gold bars back in the box before the higher-ups checked.
"Hey? Where are you going?"
"I'll be out for a while and back soon!"
Seeing this, Jing Xian jumped down and chased after him, but Shang Nanchen walked too fast, and Jing Xian didn't catch him until she reached the door.
She was afraid of waking up the children and alarming the neighbors, so she lowered her voice and asked, "Where are you going? Tell me clearly!"
Jing Xian was worried that he would insist on leaving and she would not have time to go back and put on her clothes, so she put her arms around his neck, jumped into his arms, and let him hold her.
Shang Nanchen: "..."
He felt that there were some things he had to make clear to Jing Xian, otherwise she might not know how dangerous this matter was.
"I'll go back to the house and talk to you." Shang Nanchen walked back holding Jing Xian in one hand.
The two of them came into the room, and Jing Xian didn't let go of his hand. She just sat on his lap, waiting for him to explain.
Shang Nanchen wanted to let the man go, but he couldn't, so he finally compromised.
He said, "Did you know that gold bars have codes on them?"
"Gold bars have codes, what does that have to do with my gold bricks?"
Jing Xian really didn't notice that there was a code on the gold bars. She didn't dare to touch it with her hands, let alone look at it carefully. At that time, she was almost blinded by so many gold bars.
Later she thought she would get two boxes, but she ended up with nothing.
It's a waste of joy.
Many people also call gold bars gold bricks. Shang Nanchen thought Jing Xian didn't understand what he meant, so he had to make it clearer: "All gold bars are coded. Once the code doesn't match, everyone who has come into contact with the gold will be investigated."
Now Jing Xian understood.
She pointed at the box and said, "Take a closer look."
"What are you looking at this for?"
Shang Nanchen was still thinking about what to do if he ran into someone on the way back and how he would explain it. He didn't notice that Jing Xian looked very speechless and even wanted to roll her eyes.
She didn't understand Shang Nanchen's meaning at first, but later she understood and had to let Shang Nanchen look for the answer himself.
"Just take a look if I tell you to. Why so much nonsense?" Jing Xian urged and got off him.
Shang Nanchen opened the box suspiciously and saw a gold brick as big as a brick. He looked at Jing Xian in surprise: "Where did you get this thing?"
Under the big box.
