Chapter 298: Chapter 298: Striking it Rich with Golden Light (Monthly Ticket 750+ Update)

This time, the two radishes Suizi dreamt about were different from before.

They seemed especially... magnificent?

"Why have you two become like this?"

Suizi looked at the pair of radishes in front of her, feeling completely bewildered.

The chubby radishes were wrapped in glittering bands that appeared to be gold, and each leaf was laden with jewels.

Shining gold, opulent beyond belief, even a bit dazzling to the eyes.

This was the wealthiest radish Suizi had ever seen.

"We’re loaded with dough!"

The two radishes exclaimed in unison.

As they began to speak, their jewel-encrusted leaves swished back and forth.

Suizi found them amusing and began to laugh, laughing until she nearly lacked oxygen...?

Yu Jingting was awakened by Suizi’s laughter.

It was still dark outside, he had no clue what good stuff Suizi was dreaming about, as she was giggling in her sleep.

Yu Jingting turned the light on, but she remained asleep.

Feeling playful, the man reached out and pinched Suizi’s nose to see when she would awaken.

In her dream, Suizi felt like she couldn’t catch her breath, so she started breathing through her mouth.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the man with bad intentions leaned in for a kiss.

Suizi only felt something pressing against her lips; she faintly heard the two very rich radishes saying something by her ear.

"Bring the sack... mmh!"

Suizi didn’t catch the whole sentence; she woke up.

Yu Jingting backed off the moment she opened her eyes, pretending to look concerned.

"Oh dear, what dream led to that rosy blush on your face?"

It wasn’t just her face that was blushing; her lips were also kissed to a rosy hue.

Suizi was not yet fully awake, her eyes still foggy. She looked at him in a daze without realizing that the guy in front of her was the big bad wolf who had interrupted her beautiful dream.

"I think I had a dream..."

"What did you dream of? I heard you laughing."

"I dreamt..." Suizi thought for a moment, "I dreamt that we’re going to strike it rich and we would need sacks to hold it all. Why don’t you check how many sacks we have in our storage room?"

At this time, Suizi hadn’t completely woken up, so she casually echoed the lingering thoughts from her dream.

Yu Jingting couldn’t help but laugh.

"Sacks to hold it all? Isn’t that enough to alert the state?"

Suizi thought about it; indeed, this dream was rather amusing.

Dreaming about the two radishes in the past had always served as a warning, but today’s dream was distinctly joyful.

Although it seemed ridiculous upon further thought, the adorable radishes from her dream still left Suizi with a good mood for the day.

There wasn’t much to do at the night school today, so Suizi spent her time in the office drawing radishes.

Two cartoon radishes, snuggling adorably together.

She planned to use this as the logo when she and Yu Jingting register their company in the future.

"Director, you have a registered mail."

"Thank you."

Suizi took it and noticed that the postmark was from the south; the recipient was her name.

She didn’t have any friends in the south, did she?

Suizi found it a bit odd, opened it, and found a map inside.

A hand-drawn map with three large characters on it:

’Treasure Map’

The corner of Suizi’s mouth twitched, she flipped the envelope over and checked it repeatedly. There was only this map.

No accompanying letter.

Was this someone’s idea of a prank?

The map was well-drawn, but there weren’t any location markers, leaving Suizi completely puzzled.

Yu Jingting came to find her for lunch at noon.

Ever since he started working at the factory, there was a cafeteria for him to eat at.

This guy, relying on his position as the department head, collects four portions of food each time, sends one to Jiaojiao and Wang Cuihua, then brings two portions to Suizi.

The food in the factory was good, sparing them the trouble of buying groceries and cooking at home.

Suizi felt a bit embarrassed; this was somewhat too shameless.

Yu Jingting, however, acted as if he were in the right. He considered it to be economical, and something that was encouraged. There was always an excess of food at the factory, and taking some home was, in his mind, a matter of conserving food.

Regardless, a thick-skinned man always finds a justification. Now, he could strut around the factory, even if he didn’t take the initiative, the cafeteria staff would curry favor with him by packing individual portions for him.

"Today, they made your favorite sweet and sour pork, stir-fried vegetables, and the fruit is bananas—huh, what’s this?"

After setting down the lunch boxes, Yu Jingting, with his sharp eyes, noticed a piece of paper that Suizi had casually thrown on the table.

"I was just about to tell you about it. Someone sent me this letter today; there was no signature. Here, take a look."

Suizi handed the "treasure map" to Yu Jingting.

"Is someone playing a prank on me?"

"This is—" Yu Jingting took one look and furrowed his brows.

"What’s wrong? Do you recognize this place? There’s no information about the city it’s in, it’s completely nonsensical."

"It’s... where we ’buried’ the principal."

"What???!" Suizi was frightened into a cold sweat.

Their actions that night, she and Yu Jingting thought they had done it flawlessly, without anyone seeing.

But where did this thing come from?

"Are you sure?"

"Look, this is the smokestack, this is the small grove, and here’s the river. This is where we ’buried’ him."

Yu Jingting showed Suizi.

Suizi’s sense of direction wasn’t great, and added to the fact that the place they ’buried’ was chosen by Yu Jingting, she didn’t recognize the place at all from just looking at the map.

After hearing Yu Jingting’s explanation, Suizi realized it was indeed the place.

"Has our plan been discovered? But this letter was sent from the south. Is someone monitoring us from afar?"

Smart Suizi was scared stupid at that moment.

"Let’s go check it out after eating," Yu Jingting was also somewhat puzzled.

But his nature was bold, he handled matters like these more calmly than Suizi. Whatever it was, they would dig it out first.

"Should we let Liao Yong in on this?" Suizi asked.

She didn’t want to dig up a dead cat, dead dog, or even worse, a corpse, and then not be able to clear their names even if they jumped into the river.

"No way, if we frequently contact Liao Yong, it might arouse suspicions from the Fan Family and all our previous efforts would be in vain."

The game they are playing is already half done. Everyone is a player, and the various forces are silently competing, with each action affecting the whole situation.

Suizi thought about it, he was right, so she just gathered the courage to eat. After eating, the two didn’t dare to drive their tractor; it was too conspicuous.

Although the principal was missing, his bicycle was still there.

Yu Jingting rode the bike, taking Suizi with him to the rural outskirts of the city.

Suizi was like a radar on the way there, constantly looking around, fearing they were being followed.

Fortunately, there weren’t tall buildings at that time, there were few obstructions, and the place was rather remote, giving a clear view. They didn’t see anyone.

When they arrived at the spot, Suizi kept a lookout while Yu Jingting searched the area with the help of the treasure map.

"Someone recently turned the soil here. Look, the color is different." Yu Jingting easily found the spot.

Suizi’s heart climbed up to her throat.

Yu Jingting began digging and unearthed a wooden box.

"It’s alright, there’s no room for a human in this. Not even a human head could fit; you can come over now."

"What if there’s a hand inside?" Suizi had quite an active imagination.

"We’ll know when we open it, won’t we?"

Without hesitating, Yu Jingting opened the box.

The strong midday sunlight illuminated the inside of the box, shining brilliantly with gold.
