Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Comeback in the Era Tales

Chapter 125: Chapter 125: Eldest Sister-in-Law Elopes with Someone 37

Yuan Chun was startled. She extended her spiritual power for a scan and found two acquaintances had just sneaked into the basement. If she wanted to take these treasures away now, she feared it would be too late.

She tried to hypnotize them with her spiritual power, but their spiritual strength seemed significant, rendering them immune to her hypnosis.

Meanwhile, they had already rushed down in that brief moment.

A pair of sharp eyes fixed on her.

Yuan Chun: ”...”

”Hehe... Captain Yu, long time no see.”

While committing a heist and caught red-handed, the thick-skinned Yuan Chun felt somewhat embarrassed at this moment.

”What are you doing here?” Yu Minjin’s sharp aura dissipated upon seeing Yuan Chun, and his eyes shone lightly. ”Were the six people outside your doing?”

This was a question, yet his tone was assured.

Yuan Chun awkwardly smiled, explaining, ”One of them is my former brother-in-law, named Liu Fuchai. He’s famous in the village for being lazy. Two months ago, to dodge labor, he left for the county city. Though jobless, he returned to the village a couple of days ago with a significant change—new clothes, meat, and wine. I suspected foul play and tracked him to the black market.”

”Later, I tailed him twice more, discovering he was following a group to secretly collect antiques. From their occasional talks, I learned these antiques were destined for overseas. So, today, when I learned about the antique shipment, I planned to intercept—not to stash them privately. I intended to go upstairs to report this to the police.”

Yuan Chun would never admit to Yu Da her real plan to keep some antiques, hold onto them until the antique market surged, then sell a few for a fortune.

The rest, she’d use elsewhere in alternate worlds.

If she traversed to a modern little world, where the original household was impoverished, she could sell an antique to get rich.

Unfortunately, Yu Da spoiled her grand plan.

Not a single antique, not even a feather, could she snatch.

So unlucky.

Yuan Chun pouted, giving Yu Da a few resentful glances. Of all times to come, why now, when the treasures were just within reach?

Made her lose her prize right at her mouth.

All that effort for nothing.

It infuriated her.

”Comrade Yuan Chun, I’ve been tailing them for several days.” Yu Minjin casually said, ”But it’s nice running into you here. Do you remember Comrade Xiong Yulan and Comrade Tian Xing’er, whom you saved on the train last time? Out of gratitude, the Tian family arranged a job for you; this is your job offer letter.”

Yu Minjin pulled out a neatly folded square piece of paper from his chest and handed it to her.

Yuan Chun was shocked, then calmly took the paper. Upon opening it, she found it was a sales position at the Beijing Department Store—an official position.

It’s worth noting, department store sales jobs are highly coveted, often snapped up by the influential as soon as a vacancy occurs, let alone at a Beijing department store—making it even more sought after.

Unexpectedly, the Tian family managed to arrange such a job for her, clearly indebting quite a few people in the process.

”Captain Yu, please thank Director Tian for me. I accept this job.”

Yu Minjin acknowledged, reminding her, ”The Tian family’s three lives aren’t something this job can repay. The Tian family may send more gifts your way later.”

Since Yuan Chun left without any clues, the Tian family and he spent considerable effort tracing her real identity.
