Chapter 34: Losing One's Mind and Going Mad (1)
To satisfy Shen's appetite, it's probably not enough to just eat Wobian grass. The Zhuque family has become even more tightly guarded after the last incident, and although this level of guarding power is just a piece of cloud in Shen Yanshao's eyes, she knows that if they continue to make a move on the Zhuque family at this time, it's likely that Shen Feng won't do something extreme. After all, the Holy Lord will be arriving soon, and the Zhuque family can't afford to make any mistakes.
But apart from Zhuque's wealthy family, where else can one quickly acquire a vast fortune?
In an instant, a brilliant idea flashed through Shen Yanxiao's mind.
Looking at the entire Imperial City, who can compare with the Zhuque aristocratic family besides the other four great aristocratic families?
Shen Yan Xiao's face revealed an evil smile, accompanied by a wicked grin. The remaining families, led by the Qinglong family, were about to welcome a tragic fate similar to that of the Zhuque family.
……
For the five major families of the Imperial City, this is a turbulent period. After the Zhuque family suffered a vicious attack, the Qinglong family, the Baitu family, and the Xuanwu family were successively visited by some ruthless thief, with only the Qilin family being spared.
Restricted by emotional face and family dignity, the three major families that were stolen, like Zhuque's family, kept their mouths shut about the theft, and except for the members of the main house who knew that their own home was stolen, outsiders had no idea.
This resulted in the five major families not knowing that the other families had also been robbed, thinking it was just their own bad luck, and not wanting to spread their family's shame and damage their reputation. The four major families could only swallow their anger and secretly send people to investigate the lost items.
Of course, everyone's target of investigation automatically skipped over the auction house of the Qilin family, one of the five major families.
If the four families who suffered heavy losses could sit together and discuss calmly, they would find that there were astonishing similarities between the thefts that occurred in their homes.
The lost items were all valuable gold and jewels, but these things, although expensive, would not cause any damage to the various families. On the other hand, the rare treasures collected by each family are now safely placed in the storage rooms at home, without a single move.
However, after this incident, each of the aristocratic families was like a startled bird, and at the same time, they increased their vigilance over their treasuries by threefold.
Who knows if that little thief was just here to case the joint last time and didn't plan on coming back, or they would not have been so lenient. The things in their warehouse are worth a fortune, losing one item is enough to make them spit blood!
The four big families spent day and night in anxiety, that unscrupulous little thief seemed to have disappeared, never appearing again in their sight.
It was Zimon of Qilin Auction House who took over the luxury goods sent by Shen Yanshuo in batches during this period.
Looking at the mountain of gold, silver and jewels, Qi Meng felt a surge of emotion that made him want to cry. The amount of luxury goods this guest had sent over in this period of time was almost equal to the amount of high-end products that the Qilin family had brought out when they visited openly. As he looked at the endless stream of luxury goods being delivered, Qi Meng really wanted to grab the guest's hand and beg him if he could change what he was sending, or else people in the imperial capital would think that the Qilin auction house was going to become a luxury goods resale point.
