There were three people on the other side. One of them came over with a bag to pack things at the leader's signal. The remaining two stood two meters away, pointing their weapons at everyone.

Being pointed at by the black thing, the others remained calm except for Gou Qing's assistant Luo Hong, who was shaking like a sieve.

"That's all? You want money over life?"

The villain walked up to him, took the stack of banknotes from him, and glared at him fiercely.

Luo Hong was frightened by the other party's ferocious look and trembled. "This is really all I have. My wife keeps a close eye on me and only gives me a little pocket money every month. This is all the money I have left..."

"Want to act pitiful? Don't try that on me!"

"Really, big brother, I dare not lie to you, this is really all I have..."

"Take off your coat!"

Luo Hong's face turned pale.

I originally wanted to get away with it, thinking that everyone else had taken out so many valuable things, so I wouldn't need one more, but...

All the items hidden in the inner pockets of the jacket were searched out.

A stack of foreign currency, a diamond and a sapphire.

Gou Qing is a well-known geologist in Asia and Africa. He found these by chance when he was on an expedition abroad. He has been keeping them with him, intending to use them to establish a business in China once he has settled down.

After graduation, Luo Hong followed Gou Qing around the world and saved up these belongings with great difficulty. They treated them like the apple of his eye, and now they were snatched away. He was so heartbroken that he could hardly breathe.

Before he could recover from the shock, the other party roared, "How dare you lie to me? You're fucking tired of living!"

When the guy hit his forehead, Luo Hong finally realized that these people were ruthless and desperate criminals. He didn't care about the pain in his heart and begged for mercy hurriedly.

"Have mercy, big brother! Have mercy! I won't dare to do it again, really, never again!"

"You're only now feeling scared? It's too late!"

The bad guy spoke in a ferocious tone and refused to give in.

"Good man! Good man, spare my life! What are these things of mine worth? I'm not the only one who cheated you, she, she cheated too!" Luo Hong shouted at Wen Xi in panic.

Fearing that he would become the only target for this group of people to vent their anger, Luo Hong dragged others into the water in a hurry.

"She has a treasure map on her. Compared to what I have..."

"Luo Hong, what nonsense are you talking about!" Gou Qing hurriedly shouted to stop him.

Seeing Gou Qing's nervous expression, the leading gangster's expression changed.

"Treasure map? What treasure map?"

"Luo Hong, shut up!"

The other party ignored the excited Gou Qing, looked at Luo Hong greedily, and said sternly: "Don't worry about that damn old man, if you want to live, just tell me!"

Luo Hong glanced at Gou Qing guiltily, then looked at the thing on his head. He closed his eyes and made up his mind. What righteousness, what feelings, these are all fucking empty talk. Saving his life is the most important thing!

"It's...it's about a few decades ago, during the war, a huge amount of gold and silver treasures were stolen from the country and hidden on an unknown island. The treasures on it are rich enough to rival an entire country! Seriously, I'm not lying this time!"

The villain turned his gaze to Wen Xi: "Hand over the treasure map!"

"There is no treasure map."

He Tingyan stood in front of Wen Xi almost at the same time.

"Yes, Assistant Luo must be dreaming. We are all here to pay respect to our ancestors. Where did this treasure map come from?"

Wen Xi poked her head out from behind He Tingyan with an innocent look on her face.

"No, I'm not confused. I clearly heard Professor Gou say..."

"You must have heard wrongly. This isn't a movie. I don't have any of that."
