Chapter 386 Salvaging Silver
After a bout of playfulness, Luo Ning and Miss Xu gradually calmed down. The Talented Miss Luo clung to Lin Wanrong's arm with a face filled with joy, coquettishly complaining, “Big brother, you're so bad, teasing me and Sister Xu like this. Thankfully, Sister Xu has a good temperament, otherwise, she would certainly have made a fuss with you.”
Seeing Luo Ning's transition from surprise to happiness, her face still adorned with tear streaks, causing one to feel both pity and love, Lin Wanrong grinned, grabbed her hand, and gave her something. Luo Ning took a look and found it was a silver ingot and a lump of tin, the bottom of the silver stamped with the government's fire mark – it was the missing treasury silver.
Luo Ning was filled with surprise and joy, clutching the ingot tightly, tears streaming down her face, as she threw herself into Lin Wanrong's arms, sobbing, “Big brother, big brother, Father can be saved, we found it, we finally found it.”
Gazing at the silver and tin in Luo Ning's hands, Miss Xu smiled and nodded, everything had indeed turned out as expected. She also felt waves of excitement; an unsolved case with only a seven-day deadline was solved by him. From reasoning to deployment, to finally finding the silver, his analysis of others' thoughts, calculation of moving distance, search for the hiding place for the silver, everything was meticulously done, gripping the heart.
Beside them, Luo Yuan suddenly jumped up, embraced Lin Wanrong's shoulders, and joyously exclaimed, “Wonderful, big brother, I knew you could do it. Brothers, come, come, follow me to salvage the silver.”
Speaking, he beckoned to numerous fishermen to propel the fishing boat towards the place where the silver was buried. Xu Zhiqing hurriedly stopped him, saying, “Luo Yuan, what are you doing?”
“What else? Big brother has found the hiding place for the silver, so of course we're going to salvage it,” Luo Yuan replied with great enthusiasm.
“Salvage the silver? How will you do it? Have you considered that it's 350,000 taels of silver, with countless pieces of tin bound together, weighing tens of thousands of pounds? How will you salvage it?” Miss Xu asked with a smile.
