Just because of this, it was all the more reason not to let this brat stay alive.
After Yi Zhonghai left, the Deaf Old Lady hurried to find her box. When she picked it up, her heart skipped a beat—why was it so light? She pried it open, and her vision went black; she fainted on the spot. Her gold bars were all gone. Who? Who on earth had stolen them? The only things left in the box were a few items like badges from the old regime. This meant the thief knew about her ties to the past but hadn't exposed her, clearly calculating that she wouldn't dare make a scene.
When the Deaf Old Lady came to, the more she thought about it, the more suffocated she felt; she nearly coughed up blood. She pondered it and concluded that Yi Zhonghai was the most likely suspect; he was the one who visited her room most often. Other possibilities were the grandmother and grandson from the Jia Family. Mrs. Jia was always leading her grandson around to pilfer things. After they’d been caught stealing from Chen Mo’s place last time, they had laid low for a while, but a thief never truly changes; she had seen Mrs. Jia and Bangeng stealing from others many times.
