Juanjuan, whose adoptive parents had died, was sold by her uncle for ten silver dollars into the Warlord's Mansion to bring good luck to the severely ill only son, Si Jinchen.

Chapter 438 Overseas Call
As the weather grew warmer, Siming received a long-awaited phone call.
When He Huaizheng heard Siming's voice, he cut to the chase: "Their flight lessons have been completed and they will be returning in the next few days."
"Now there's good news and bad news."
Siming probably guessed the two pieces of news he mentioned: "The planes are ready for mass production, and the planes equipped with weapons have also been produced, right?"
"Haha! You're really smart. It's just as you said. Now your people have five planes that can fly back."
"If you want more, you'll have to hire someone to drive it back for you. The price will be a thousand dollars more than I told you before."
"We still have a few days before we return. Give me your answer as soon as possible. If you need more, you should have the money ready. I think you should have the runway ready by now, so I don't need to say anything more."
After He Huaizheng finished speaking, he left him a phone number and hung up.
Si Ming hung up the phone and immediately contacted several people at home, asking them to go home first.
Miao Jiu was the first to arrive home: "What's the matter that made you rush to find us?"
"He Huaizheng called." Si Ming had just finished saying this when the rest of the family had arrived.
"Brother, what's wrong?" Si Gu was also busy now, and he was still wearing his white coat when he came back.
"Aircraft loaded with weapons have been mass-produced. Liao Kui and Hu Zi can bring back five aircraft. If you want more, you need their personnel to send them over. Each aircraft will cost an additional one thousand yuan."
Sima Ming picked out the key points and spoke.
"So now we have to consider how many planes to buy, right?" Si Tian looked at him and asked.
"Yes, the runway and apron we've built now should be able to accommodate about fifty planes. If we calculate based on one hundred thousand dollars per plane, we'll need five million dollars."
He then looked at the others and said, "I have three million dollars available to me right now."
"I've been selling a lot of Western medicine lately, and I have about one million dollars to spend."
Miao Jiu looked at the others and said, "I'll take care of the rest."
"Dad, Juanjuan also has money!" Juanjuan ran out from somewhere with a box in his hands.
Si Jinchen was behind her, also holding a box: "Dad, I have one too."
The two children put the boxes on the table with great effort.
Siming looked at the two children, who had been worrying about the family's money. "Keep this money, it's enough now!"
Juanjuan pushed the box in front of him and said, "Give it all to Dad."
After she finished speaking, she climbed onto his lap and whispered in his ear, "Whale said there are many shipwrecks on the seabed, and there are a lot of treasures in them. If Dad is short of money, he can go to the bottom of the sea to look for them."
"The whales said they would help and take Dad to find the treasure."
Siming looked at Juanjuan in surprise: "Really?"
Juanjuan nodded vigorously: "Yes, Falcon is very familiar with them, Dad can just take him with him."
Siming hugged her tightly: "Thank you, Juanjuan."
Juanjuan smiled brightly: "You're welcome."
After she said that, she pulled Si Jinchen and ran away.
"Brother, what did Juanjuan say to you?" Si Tian was a little curious.
"She said there are many shipwrecks on the seabed, and there are a lot of treasures in them. If we are short of money, we can go look for them." Siming said to them.
Miao Jiu frowned slightly: "I've heard before that there are many shipwrecks on the seabed, and there are countless treasures inside."
"Many people have gone out to sea for these treasures, but few have ever returned. Even if they do return alive, they may not get what they want."
"The ocean is unfathomable. There is no way to breathe, and no way to sink to the true bottom of the ocean."
Siming looked at them and said, "Juanjuan said we can ask the little animals for help."
"If that's the case, I think we can give it a try." Miao Jiu said, looking at them.
Several people looked at Miao Jiu. Only the Miao family had large ships, so they were the only ones who could go out to sea more conveniently.
"Don't worry about this. We have the money to buy 50 planes anyway. The only thing we have to worry about now is the money to load the planes with ammunition."
After Miao Jiu finished speaking, he stood up and said something to Si Ning, then prepared to personally lead people to the sea to look for treasures, hoping that these treasures were not too far away.
They have already used up all their available money to purchase fifty aircraft this time, and the remaining money will be kept for emergencies.
Si Ning looked at Miao Jiu: "Be careful."
"Okay." Miao Jiu looked at the triplets and said, "Don't be naughty and don't make your mom angry, or I'll come back and beat you up."
The triplets pouted and stretched out their little hands towards him, asking him to hug them.
This was the first time that the triplets took the initiative to reach out to Miao Jiu to hold them.
Miao Jiu felt warm in his heart, and reached out to hug the three little guys one by one: "Be good and listen."
He left his three children behind and took Miao Long to the dock himself. Unexpectedly, he met an unexpected person at the dock.
Old Man Miao looked at him and said, "You're so slow."
"Why are you here?" Miao Jiu looked at him in surprise.
"I've been at sea for quite some time. If I go with you, you'll have less trouble." Old Man Miao said as he boarded the boat.
After seeing the two of them, Miao Long hurriedly got on the boat.
"Let's go." Miao Jiu didn't say anything. He glanced at the peregrine falcon flying in the sky and gave the order.
Old Man Miao personally took the helm and avoided many hidden reefs in the sea.
Not long after they left the dock, a peregrine falcon flew down from the mast and circled in the sky, chirping.
It was already night when Miao Jiu and his crew went out to sea, and there was not a single ship to be seen on the sea.
Seeing that the peregrine falcon was already hovering nearby, the boat stopped on the sea.
Old Man Miao came onto the deck and said, "This place is not far from Beiyang City. Is there really something there?"
"I don't know, wait a minute." Miao Jiu was not sure either, so he could only observe.
After the peregrine falcon finished shouting, it flew to the edge of the deck and stood there motionless.
Everyone was on the deck, looking at the dark sea. Going into the sea would be much more dangerous than during the day.
When everyone was still hesitating whether to go into the sea, waves appeared on the calm sea surface.
The shaking of the waves caused the boat to shake, making it difficult for the people on board to stand steadily.
Fortunately, they were all experienced crew members and they quickly stabilized themselves.
"Master, Master Jiu, look quickly." Miao Long saw something seemed to be floating up from the bottom of the sea.
Miao Jiu grabbed the edge of the boat and looked down, only to see huge tentacles extending from the sea and swinging towards their ship.
"Be careful." Old man Miao quickly pulled Miao Jiu aside.
The peregrine falcon saw the box left on the boat and almost hit someone, so it flew up and chirped towards the sea again.
