Chapter 259 The Key to the Treasure

Su Yan was really panicked.

Is Bo Jinxiu really trying to draw a clear line with the Shen family by returning this?

Shen Qingqing could not escape his protection, and they were completely powerless to fight against Bo Wanhua.

What he said just now was just to test Bo Jinxiu's reaction.

Qingqing was still asleep, and he was actually leaving.

Bo Jinxiu stopped, turned around and spoke calmly.

"Of course I know. This is one of the keys to the century-old treasure of the four great families. The heirlooms of the four great families are all keys to unlock the treasure, but you must gather all four keys to unlock the door to the treasure."

There is a legend that has been circulating among the four major families in the Beijing circle.

A hundred years ago, during the Republic of China period, three of the four major families in the Beijing circle were major warlords of the Republic of China.

There are four major warlords occupying Kyoto, the Xiao family, the Shen family, the Xue family, and the Shangguan family.

With warlords in power and chaos everywhere, all the major families have acquired huge wealth.

Later, the warlord era gradually came to an end.

Most of the four major families chose to flee abroad.

But the huge wealth and countless gold could not be taken away.

The four major families joined together to create a treasure trove.

He hid all his wealth in an ancient temple deep in the mountains.

And a magical treasure door was created, and the four keys were made into four tokens.

Four keys must be embedded in the door to open the secret passage leading to the treasure.

These four tokens are all made of a piece of pink jade.

Three of the descendants of the four major warlords of that time still exist today.

They are the Shen family, the Xiao family and the Xue family. It can be said that these three families are all century-old prestigious families.

After the establishment of the new zg.

The four major families that went abroad that year also returned to China and began to recuperate quietly.

The Xue family monopolized the oil and grain shops, the Shen family opened a bank, the Xiao family opened a trading company, and the Shangguan family opened a shipping company to develop overseas trade.

The descendants of the four major families rose rapidly.

Because everyone knew the legend of the family treasure, the four major families quickly united.

They monopolized various industries and began to marry each other.

But it was in the old man's generation.

For unknown reasons, the Shangguan family was slaughtered overnight and the entire clan fell into decline.

The Shangguan family's heirloom pink jade pendant is also circulating on the black market.

The other three families all wanted to get the jade pendant, and they all showed their magical powers in secret.

But the jade pendant was eventually bought by a mysterious person.

This person is Mr. Bo.

The Bo family is the last of the four major families to rise.

It can be said that he is Mr. Bo who started from scratch.

I heard that he became a shipping tycoon by relying on a small cargo ship.

He acquired almost all of the Shangguan family's assets.

The Bo family rose rapidly and became the leader of the four major families in just a few decades.

No one knows Mr. Bo's identity and background.

There are also rumors that he wiped out the entire Shangguan family and seized Shangguan's property.

Of course, no one dares to spread this message anymore.

Over the years, relying on their wealthy family background and knowledge gained abroad, the new four major families have almost monopolized all business chains in the Beijing circle.

Because the major families have reached their peak.

Therefore, the four major families did not tell their descendants about the treasure from a hundred years ago.

In fact, starting from Bo Jinxiu's generation, most of them didn't know about the treasure.

Su Yan continued, "The treasure is a secret of the four great families. It is usually told from the previous generation of family heads to the next generation, and only to one person. The four keys to unlock the treasure are the heirlooms of the four great families. Your Bo family has a pink jade pendant, the Shen family has a dragon plaque, the Xiao family has a pink jade lock, and the Xue family has a pink peace locket."

Su Yan said, "Legend has it that there were tens of thousands of ounces of gold a hundred years ago, as well as countless rare treasures. Any one of them would be priceless today. If one could obtain the treasures from a hundred years ago, it would be enough to buy several small countries."

"If you get it, the Bo family will become the richest family in the world, and will not decline no matter what happens for hundreds of years. Most importantly, you will no longer be controlled by your eldest sister. The wealth she holds is nothing compared to this century-old treasure. You can buy the most powerful mercenary army in the world, or even buy a small country. No one in this world can stand against you. Don't you hope for that day to come?"

Su Yan knew that Bo Jinxiu was ambitious.

Even if he didn't dream of those treasures, Bo Wanhua would know the secret sooner or later.

By then, Bo Wanhua will definitely try her best to get the four keys.

Bo Jinxiu had no choice.

Bo Jinxiu's expression remained unchanged, his face as cold as water. "This is just a legend from a hundred years ago, it's not necessarily true. The successive heads of the four great families have been searching for it for a hundred years, and they haven't even found the location of the ancient temple deep in the mountains. This century-old treasure isn't that easy to obtain."

"But you have the ability, you have the best hope of finding it."

Su Yan said, "Our Shen and Xue families are now just the right-hand men of the Bo family. We have long lost the qualifications to be on equal footing with the Bo family. For many years to come, the Shen and Xue families will have to rely on the Bo family for survival. If this is the case, I certainly hope that the head of the Bo family will be you. If it is Bo Wanhua, then our Shen family will be finished."

Bo Jinxiu said: "Don't be so pessimistic. Shen Yibai is still a member of the Shen family after all. Even if I lose in the game with my eldest sister, he will not let my eldest sister destroy the Shen family."

"Chen Yibai's last name is just Shen. He didn't change it because the old man promised to let him inherit the Shen family's property. But once he inherits the Shen family's property, Bo Wanhua will not let the Shen family go. It's not a pity for my husband and I to die, but Qingqing is already like this. Do we have to push her into hell again?"

Bo Jinxiu said, "If I lose, I will be the first to die, so it's useless for you to tell me this."

"So, you cannot fail in this battle for power, Prince. What's at stake isn't just your own life, but also the lives of countless people who depend on you."

Bo Jinxiu looked at Su Yan: "So what do you want to say?"

Su Yan closed the sandalwood brocade box and placed it in Bo Jinxiu's hands again. "Now that things have come to this, I have nothing more to say. You and Qingqing are not meant to be together. I will try to persuade her to be more open-minded. But please, Prince, continue with your promise from the past. At any time, spare Qingqing's life. If you return this dragon token to me, I will give it to you again as my second act of surrender."

Over the years, Bo Jinxiu has built a safety net around Shen Qingqing.

This net has not been removed yet.

Bo Jinxiu accepted it, and then said, "As for the Shen family, I still hope you won't make things too awkward. You can ask for business or financial compensation. As for Xue Qin..."

"I know we can't really ask Xue Qin to compensate Qingqing with a leg, but this matter can't be easily brushed aside. Since the Crown Prince is willing to be the peacemaker, please go and tell the Xue family that as long as they send Xue Qin abroad and forbid him from returning for five years, and transfer 5% of Xue Group's shares under Xue Qin's name to Qingqing, this matter will be over."

"Our light legs should be worth a few shares of Xue's."
