The cloth bag contained a large amount of cash. Lu Chen took a rough look and saw that it was basically all pounds.
In addition to British pounds, there were also scattered French coins and US dollars.
After seeing it, Lu Chen immediately closed the bag.
Her little heart was also beating fast.
Lu Chen originally thought that this place would hide clues related to intelligence spies, but what he did not expect was that there was actually a huge sum of money hidden here from Wind Chimes 'spy team.
If one wanted to live in Jin Ling city, money was essential.
Engaging in spying also required a lot of money. They could not bring this money out to use, nor was it convenient to put it in the bank.
Otherwise, it would be very easy to be discovered and exposed.
Therefore, spies would usually hide the money in a very hidden place and use it at a critical moment.
"No wonder we didn't find any money in the rented house or the clinic. It turns out that it's all here!”
Lu Chen was not stupid enough to hand over this money.
In this period of time, corruption was serious in the Guo Party. Even if the money was handed over, it would only be divided up layer by layer.
It was not used where it should be.
Lu Chen kept this money for himself. It would be of great benefit to him now!
Taking a few deep breaths, Lu Chen calmed himself down. After thinking for a while, he immediately went down the stairs.
After going downstairs, Lu Chen did not go out from the courtyard. Instead, he opened the secret passage and returned from the original path.
Before he walked out of the clinic, he took off his coat and wrapped it around the cloth bag in his hand.
Lu Chen walked forward with a straight face and an expressionless face. He quickly walked to the intersection of No. 67, opened the door of the driver's seat, and waved his hand to signal the driver to get out.
After the driver got out of the car, Lu Chen got into the car and threw the cloth bag wrapped in a coat onto the passenger seat.
"We found some clues in the courtyard just now. I'll go back and get something now. You stay outside the clinic.”
"Don't let anyone in. Wait for me to come back, understand?”
"Understood!" The team member nodded.”
After giving his instructions, Lu Chen drove the truck away.
After driving far away, Lu Chen saw from the rearview mirror that the team member was doing as he was told and there was no difference. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.
To be honest, Lu Chen's actions did not seem strange to others.
It was just that he had a 'ghost' in his heart, and it was his first time doing it, so he was a little nervous.
"Looks like my mental fortitude still needs to be trained and strengthened.”
Lu Chen drove all the way to his residence. After returning to his room, he closed the doors and windows.
She opened the cloth bag and took out all the money inside impatiently.
"Mumble…"
Looking at the green banknotes, Lu Chen could not help but swallow his saliva.
He roughly counted the money.
There was a total of six thousand pounds inside.
What did 6,000 pounds mean in this era?
It was equivalent to 70,000 yuan in the current government currency!
The big guy might not have any idea about 70,000 yuan. However, if it was converted to silver dollars before the reform, the current currency and silver dollars were exchanged at a one-to-one ratio.
In other words, the purchasing power of these six thousand pounds was seventy thousand silver dollars! (Because silver dollars were not allowed to be used in the market now, only the underground black market could exchange them. Therefore, the current currency used was basically the government currency, the national currency, which was the newly issued French currency. The current value of the French currency was equivalent to one silver dollar.）
70,000 yuan!
Lu Chen's annual military salary was only about 200 yuan. An ordinary family's monthly expenses were only three or four yuan.
The rent of a large open house in the city center was less than ten yuan.
From this, one could see how terrifying the value of 70,000 yuan was.
There were not only pounds in the cloth bag, but also scattered US dollars and French coins.
There were also 2,000 US dollars in cash. The French currency had a larger face value and did not look thick, but there was still a dozen of them, at least 4,000 to 5,000.
Although US dollars were not as valuable as British pounds, they were still 1:3
2,000 US dollars was equivalent to 6,000 French coins.
In other words, the money in the bag was about 80,000 yuan!
I'm rich, I'm rich, I'm really rich this time.
Lu Chen took out the US dollars and French coins and put them on his body.
Then, he placed all the pounds in the cloth bag into a black box and stuffed it under the bed.
Time was tight now, so this was the only way for the time being.
When he returned at night, he would have to buy a safe and dig a secret underground hole or something.
These pounds were all small amounts of money, mostly one yuan, five yuan, and twenty yuan in small bundles.
6,000 pounds was a lot of weight.
