He was a freshman in college, and they were on a seasonal break these days, so he stayed at home. Just now, seeing his parents go back to their bedroom to rest, he couldn't help but think whether the things in his father's study safe were indeed valuable.
He hadn't paid attention before, but today, seeing the serious looks on his elder brother and father, he realized that the lost items were worth so much, apparently more than the money in his mother's bankbook.
Don't think he didn't know—actually, their family should be quite wealthy, but his mother had been supporting his uncle with their money.
His mother always taught him that his uncle was family too and that he should treat him well, so he didn't mind these things, and being a young man, he didn't dwell on them. He came to the study simply out of curiosity to see what was in the safe, but he hadn't expected to overhear the phone call his mother made to his grandmother.
