Chapter 60: A Place to Hide Your Money
Chapter 60
The big door was still open, so she got out very smoothly without making a sound.
After jogging forward for a while and seeing no one around, ZhiXia took out a small bicycle from her space and got on it. Her feet could just reach the ground to support her.
Although she had thought about secretly practicing with a small bike before, she had never dared to actually do it for fear of being discovered.
Today was an emergency, so she could only take the risk this once. She only hoped luck would be on her side and no one would see her.
Sitting on the bicycle seat, ZhiXia recalled that she had already ridden so far alone at noon. What she needed to overcome was not that she couldn't ride, but her own courage.
The feeling of her feet on the ground gave her some confidence back. From the initial slow start, realizing she had complete control, she finally dared to go faster.
Where she was going now was where Lin Zheng hid his treasures.
She had followed Lin Zheng there many times in her previous life, and was as familiar with that place as Lin Zheng himself. Moreover, she knew that in addition to the gold and silver treasures, there were also a batch of matchlock guns stored there.
What she was going to do now was to get hold of those guns, and then try to make a trip to the Lin family. If Lin Hao was not yet an informant for Huang Cui at this time, she could only use these guns to bring down the Lin family.
As for Huang Cui herself, she would have to think of other ways to expose her identity. An MeiYun could completely use the excuse of being deceived by Lin Hao to get away. This matter probably wouldn't affect her too much.
However, there was a downside - after the Lin family's downfall, An MeiYun would lose her support again. If An JingZhi and Zhou Nan gave in to her again...
ZhiXia smiled wryly with a hint of disappointment.
So in order to be fully prepared, she had to make good use of WenQing's injury.
The best scenario would be if Lin Hao was already persuaded by Huang Cui at this point to get involved with the special agents. Even if An MeiYun was deceived, she and Lin Hao were in a free love relationship, so she would still be implicated in some gossip.
With someone else keeping an eye on An MeiYun, there was no need to worry about her causing more trouble.
Riding the bike all the way, ZhiXia was lost in thought the entire time, seemingly oblivious to fatigue.
So many thoughts appeared in her mind, yet each was sorted out clearly.
She didn't know how long it took her to get out of Jin City. The moment she was outside the city, she switched to an electric scooter.
It had taken Lin Zheng half a day every time he went there in her previous life. She hoped that with the electric scooter, she could be faster.
Leaving home after eight, she didn't arrive at her destination until half past ten.
It was a desolate hillside covered in weeds, with several lone graves standing among them.
But ZhiXia knew these lone graves were fake - just mounds of earth Lin Zheng had buried to conceal things.
ZhiXia put away the electric scooter into her space and walked in alone.
The howling wind in the pitch dark night did bring an eerie atmosphere.
If it were anyone else in this environment, they probably would have been scared stiff. But ZhiXia was different - having been a wandering ghost for a hundred years, even real ghosts wouldn't faze her. Humans were actually more frightening.
Going further in, there was a small opening in the rock wall among the bumps and hollows on the hillside. It could barely fit one person crawling through. It could only be seen after brushing away the weeds.
At this time, the weeds at the cave entrance were lush without any signs of being trampled. ZhiXia guessed Lin Zheng probably hadn't been here for a long time.
That made sense. This man was meticulous in his actions. Otherwise he could not have led the Heilong Mountain bandits to settle down in Jin City.
He didn't come here often in her previous life either. It was only when this place was going to be developed into a factory later that Lin Zheng hastily moved things away, and she had followed him here a few times.
ZhiXia changed into lighter sports shoes at the cave entrance. With her petite and slender figure, it was actually easier for her to get in than Lin Zheng.
However, this clearly left signs of the weeds being damaged at the entrance.
The space inside the cave was not big either, but the ground had been flattened so she could walk straight ahead without worrying about tripping.
While walking further in, ZhiXia left a message for I'm Not A Zombie.
Rich Little Wife of This Era: "Sis, do you have a way to revitalize the weeds here?"
After sending this message, she began to carefully examine this secret passage.
The passage was not long, just a two minute walk, and she arrived under those lone graves - the place where the gold and silver treasures were hidden.
The space opened up abruptly. The chamber before her eyes was not big, but filled with over a dozen large locked boxes.
ZhiXia naturally knew what was inside since she had seen it before.
She was not interested in the other items, going straight to the box containing the long matchlock guns. She picked the lock open with a wire.
Opening the box, inside was straw, and concealed beneath the straw were four or five long guns.
Just as ZhiXia was about to take the guns away, she noticed an additional box that didn't exist in her memories.
Inside this box were two small, exquisite pistols.
No wonder the notoriously evil Heilong Mountain bandits had such a bad reputation. This little underling Lin Zheng who escaped the raid had hidden so many treasures and weapons. The boss back then must have been even more ruthless!
ZhiXia re-locked the opened boxes, then stored everything into her space.
She also knew there was a secret chamber in the house where the Lin family currently lived. Back then, Lin Zheng was the point man in Jin City for Heilong Mountain. He had lived in Jin City for many years providing information to Heilong Mountain. The loot they stole sometimes could not be taken out of the city, so it would be temporarily hidden in the secret chamber.
After the Heilong Mountain bandits were wiped out, it was actually Lin Zheng's family that escaped control and gained complete freedom.
Lin Zheng was quite crafty, so he didn't dare keep the treasures at home. Instead he hid them here. Even if they were accidentally discovered, suspicions wouldn't lead back to him.
Compared to Lin Zheng, Lin Hao was far less capable in this regard.
If not for hiding evidence of his collusion with Huang Cui at home in his previous life, he would not have been discovered by An MeiYun either.
Of course, if An MeiYun had not gotten involved and pinned all the blame on the An family, perhaps Lin Hao would not have had the chance to get away either.
What ZhiXia wanted to do was take these weapons into the Lin house and hide them in the secret chamber, so they could reap what they sow.
On her way back, ZhiXia received a zombie nucleus sent by I'm Not A Zombie.
I'm Not A Zombie: "This is a new function we just developed. The zombie nucleus can store the corresponding superpowers. This one contains wood elemental powers. Bury it next to the plant you want to stimulate growth in. Dig it up when the plant reaches your desired state."
ZhiXia herself did not have any superpowers and could not control the power in the nucleus, so she could not use this for combat.
But this function was sufficient for her needs.
