Bai Nuo gave the order and then walked to a tree nearby.

While the puppet was digging the hole, she couldn't just sit idle. She took this opportunity to absorb some wood-type elements. As long as her wood-type ability leveled up, it would boost her strength-type ability. Leveling up from level one to three was quite easy. She also had hundreds of sacks of crystal cores in her warehouse, which she could use for further upgrades.

For the next hour, Bai Nuo started running around everywhere, switching to a different tree after absorbing almost all of its energy from one, leaving each tree with some vitality so it wouldn't wither in her hands.

She still had some conscience when it came to plants and animals.

An hour later, Bai Nuo returned to the wooden puppet. By then, the pit had been dug to a depth of five meters, finally revealing dozens of large boxes.

"Host, these are the things your maternal grandmother's family left her."

"That's right."

Bai Nuo nodded, stood still, bent down and looked at the dozens of large boxes in the pit. They were all ordinary camphor wood boxes with excellent anti-corrosion properties. They looked just like the boxes that ordinary people use to store clothes, but what was inside were not ordinary things.

As a red capitalist family, the Wei family donated all their wealth openly, but secretly left a lot for the younger generation. Her maternal grandmother, as the eldest daughter of the main family, was raised as the heir, and she was left with even more, and each item was a treasure.

"When I left, my grandmother only read it once and told me the approximate location. At that time, I was still quite clear-headed, so I remembered it. I guessed that someone in Shanghai was targeting me not to threaten my grandfather and uncle, but for the Wei family's possessions. Just in case, I felt more at ease keeping them on my own territory. When I see my grandmother again, I will tell her that I have changed the hiding place."

"This is only a part?" The system was dumbfounded.

There are at least thirty or forty of these large boxes stacked on top of each other, and this is just a portion of them.

"Don't underestimate the red capitalists of the Republic of China era. My maternal grandmother was the only heir. The old master of the Wei family, who was my maternal grandmother's father, was known for his extraordinary wisdom. How could he not know the principle of having three burrows? There are things left by the Wei family in Hong Kong, and there should also be some in Guangzhou. However, we can't go there now, and outsiders probably don't know about these two places. After all, there are no traces of the Wei family's presence in either Hong Kong or Guangzhou. But Shanghai is the Wei family's stronghold, and many people suspect that the Wei family's things are hidden in this city, but no one has found them yet."

Bai Nuo put the boxes into her spatial storage. There were exactly forty large boxes in total, stacked in groups of five and placed separately in a corner of the No. 6 money vault. She didn't open them to look inside; they were probably filled with gold, silver, jewelry, and money. She would ask her grandmother what to do with these things when she saw her later.

On the way back, Bai Nuo made a special detour to the old Wei family mansion. This area was a famous wealthy land during the Republic of China era, and the street where the old mansion is located used to belong entirely to the Wei family. Later, in order to raise money to help the country resist foreign enemies, the old man of the Wei family sold most of the houses and donated all the money to the country, leaving only this mansion with an area of ​​500 square meters. Even so, this mansion is comparable to the Xiguan mansion in Guangzhou.

Even though no one from the Wei family lived in Shanghai, Grandma wasn't worried about anyone damaging the house, because no one dared to touch it, even during special times.

During the war, my maternal grandfather, father, uncle, and several other uncles all died on the battlefield. Later, even my older brothers did not return. The Wei family was truly a family of loyal martyrs. They were designated by the top leader, and no one was allowed to touch a single blade of grass or tree belonging to the Wei family. In the main hall at the entrance of the old house, there is still a photo of that leader with the Wei family father and son when he was young.

Therefore, even though many people are eyeing the Wei family, no one dares to openly touch anything belonging to the Wei family.

However, apart from the furniture, there was nothing of value in this mansion; even digging ten meters underground wouldn't yield a single trace of gold.

After all, only a fool would hide something in such a target.

Not only here, but all the residences under the Wei family's name are so clean that even beggars wouldn't steal from them.

Bai Nuo secretly went inside and took a look around. She found that there were only some minor traces indicating that someone had come in to look for something, but not even a single brick was damaged. All the furniture made of expensive wood in the room was still in its original place, and Bai Nuo could leave Shanghai with peace of mind.

As she quickly reached another street to go home, another system notification appeared.
