Chapter 232 - 152: Getting Something for Nothing

Just after rushing through the gate, Zhang San pointed at a distant blue-gray house and shouted excitedly.

"Master, look quickly. It’s that blue-gray house where Mr. Luo and his people found the treasure. It must be hidden inside that house."

Wei Dabao looked in the direction Zhang San was pointing. The blue-gray house was at least four to five hundred square meters.

The house was square with a pointed top, looking both peculiar and very solid. Wei Dabao was even more convinced that it was the place where that bastard Luo Hai hid the treasure.

"Quick! Quick! Let’s get over there!"

Wei Dabao couldn’t wait, shaking his fat body as he walked briskly forward. Zhang San and Li followed closely behind, and the Protectors quickly caught up as well.

They walked along the cement path, with lush green crops on both sides and water channels built from cement.

But Wei Dabao’s eyes were fixed intently on that house, paying no attention to the surrounding scenery.

He had no time to think about why this whole area, once desolate land that no one wanted, could now grow lush green crops.

Seeing people rushing in with weapons, the farmers working nearby were terrified and quickly dropped their tools to hide far away.

After winding around a section of the path, Wei Dabao gradually widened his mouth in amazement.

Only after reaching the side did Wei Dabao realize with surprise that it wasn’t just one house in the distance, but a whole row of such blue-gray houses, neatly arranged.

My God! How much treasure could that hold?

"Quick! Quick!"

Wei Dabao’s eyes glowed with excitement, and he involuntarily quickened his pace again.

"It’s all mine. All the treasures here are mine!"

As Wei Dabao walked, he mumbled to himself, his face full of greed.

His steps became faster and faster, as if a moment’s delay would let someone else snatch the treasure away.

Just as Wei Dabao and his group entered, Luo Hai accompanied Han Lei to the barren land project site to check the project’s progress.

After arranging the work in Fufeng County, Han Lei planned to visit the Champion Hou’s family in the Capital City.

Passing through Qingshui County, she decided to check the project here and also bring a few brothers from Qingshui County’s Big Character Team to the Capital.

When Luo Hai and Han Lei got off the carriage, the injured members of the Big Character Team felt both affectionate and ashamed as they surrounded Han Lei to apologize.

The captain of the first team lowered his head and said, "Miss Han, we failed your trust and didn’t manage this place well. Just now, a group of people came rushing in with weapons, saying they wanted to steal some treasure. Although we captured most of them, some still broke through."

"I’m sorry, Miss Han. We’re incompetent and only caught these people." The fourth one pointed at a group of Protectors on the ground who had been struck by electricity and bowed his head in apology.

"Please, Miss, punish us."

"Miss Han, we’re sorry."

"..."

These injured members of the Big Character Team didn’t know Zhao Zun had asked them to call Han Lei Princess Consort, so they still addressed her as Miss Han.

"Let them go in, then. There’s nothing to hide now anyway. But are any of you injured?" Han Lei smiled slightly, and her concerned gaze swept over each of them.

Originally, Han Lei had equipped the Big Character Team brothers with electric batons, thinking to guard against minor thieves, but never expected someone would bring a large group to rob!

Wei Dabao’s Protectors had weapons, and in the earlier conflict, the Big Character Team brothers must have suffered some injuries.

But they all dodged the question, shifting their bodies to hide their wounds.

Han Lei knew they felt guilty and were too embarrassed to speak up.

She didn’t expose them but instead took out some medicine and gauze from her space and handed it to the captain of the first team, asking him to help treat the brothers’ injuries afterward.

"Let’s go in and take a look." Han Lei turned to Luo Hai and said.

"Alright!" Luo Hai nodded.

Seeing the two of them preparing to go in and inspect, the captain of the first team quickly handed the medicine and gauze to another brother and personally accompanied them inside.

Han Lei and the others jogged a little ahead, and she saw from a distance Wei Dabao’s corpulent figure rushing forward.

Luo Hai also recognized Wei Dabao’s figure and turned his head to quietly introduce to Han Lei.

"Miss Han, that fat man is Wei Dabao, a relative of Mr. Wei, the Prime Minister in the Capital City. Some days ago, Wei Dabao and a few of his servants were sneaking around the barren land’s edge to gather information. I caught them and locked them in the dungeon, only releasing them half a month ago. I didn’t expect them to show up here today."
