"Thank you for your hard work, Grandpa Hai." Le Yao didn't stand on ceremony and took the box directly. She opened it and found a piece of kraft paper and a jade key inside. "Could this be a treasure map and a key to the treasure vault?"
“You’re right.” Hai Chao nodded. “Back then, when Ba Ye dominated the entire Golden Triangle and was incredibly wealthy, he spent three years secretly building a treasure vault. Only he knew its location…”
"Didn't the people who built it know that?"
"Hehe." Hai Chao laughed, "None of the people who built it have come out."
Le Yao suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. This was like something out of ancient times! Feudal emperors and tribal chiefs liked to do this, and her adoptive grandfather did it too. How many people would die?
"I truly admire Elder Hai's ability to keep his promise," Nangong Jue said sincerely.
Le Yao nodded hurriedly, "That's right, more than twenty years! If it were someone else, they probably would have claimed the treasure for themselves long ago."
"Hehe." Hai Chao waved his hand. "It's not that I haven't thought about it. After all, I'm just an ordinary person. But when you see too many people fighting to the death for money, you'll understand that sometimes having too much money isn't a good thing. After all, this LY Group was started with money from Ba Ye back then. The Hai family isn't short of money, so why should I covet things that don't belong to me?"
"I am deeply grateful for your guidance," Nangong Jue nodded.
"I'm not just saying this to sound nice; this is really how I feel. I have sons and grandsons, and I don't want to wake up one day to find myself collecting their corpses..."
"The business environment here in Country T isn't very good. Has Mr. Hai ever thought about moving back to China?"
"I've thought about it." Hai Chao nodded. "Because I also feel that I should go back to find the young lady, so I've been preparing for this recently. I didn't expect you to find me first." He then called Hai Dongyang over and said, "Recognize him as your master."
"Huh?" Not only was Hai Dongyang surprised, but Le Yao was also stunned.
"Master Ba is my master, and from now on, Miss will also be your master."
"Grandpa Hai!" Le Yao jumped up hurriedly, "Calm down."
Hai Chao looked at Le Yao: "This is a new world and a new society where everyone is equal. We can't have these unequal treaties. From now on, Young Master Hai will be my brother, my sworn brother."
Nangong Jue: ...
Did I end up with another brother-in-law? But some brothers-in-law are really annoying.
“This…” Hai Chao hesitated.
"Grandpa Hai, from now on you're my real grandpa." Le Yao looked at Hai Chao with utmost sincerity. "Hai Dongyang is my real brother, okay?"
Nangong Jue: ...
Has the brother-in-law been upgraded from godfather to brother-in-law?
"Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely protect my sister from now on." Hai Dongyang hurriedly expressed his support. "Claim a master?" That's a phrase only found in novels.
"In that case, that's fine then." Hai Chao nodded. "Thank you, Miss."
Le Yao waved her hand, "I should be thanking you."
After chatting for a while, Nangong Jue and Le Yao said goodbye and left.
Once in the car, Le Yao reluctantly opened the parchment. Sure enough, there was a map drawn on it, but it didn't have any place names. Instead, it had some symbols drawn on it, and one place was marked with a large black dot. If she wasn't mistaken, that should be the location of the treasure.
“Ah Jue, I finally understand why Old Master Hai was so noble.” Le Yao tapped the map. “Because he simply couldn’t crack it.”
