The letter paper was slightly yellowed, but the ink was still clear.
"My dearest daughter, by the time you read this letter, your father will probably no longer be alive..."
The very first sentence brought a lump to Su Tang's throat.
Although she wasn't the original owner of the body, the father's deep love for his daughter, conveyed through the words, still resonated deeply with her.
In the letter, the father, Su Henian, detailed his worries and discoveries over the years.
It turned out that the father had long been aware of Su Dongcheng's wolfish ambitions. Over the years, Su Dongcheng had secretly transferred a lot of assets under the guise of managing the Su family's business.
What shocked the father even more was that he inadvertently discovered that Su Dongcheng was actually a spy from the Japanese enemy who had infiltrated China! He had been providing intelligence to the Japanese and betraying their national interests!
Su Henian originally wanted to gather more evidence to take down Su Dongcheng in one fell swoop, but Su Dongcheng discovered it first.
In his letter, the father wrote: "Su Dongcheng is a ruthless man, and I fear that something bad will happen to me. If anything happens to me, it will surely be the work of this scoundrel."
This confirmed Su Tang's guess.
My father did not commit suicide.
The letter also mentioned Jiang Sushuang. Her father said he had noticed that Jiang Sushuang was getting along very well with Su Dongcheng, and warned Su Tang to be careful of this stepmother, who was probably already in cahoots with Su Dongcheng.
"...Su Shuang has been trying to win me over lately, constantly giving me herbal medicine, but I feel increasingly tired and listless. Could it be...that she's involved too?"
Su Dongcheng is actually a Japanese enemy agent and a traitor!
Jiang Sushuang poisoned him!
Her father had long anticipated that he would be harmed, and he had even paved the way for her future.
"As your father, I am incompetent. I failed to protect you and instead put you in danger..."
No, Father, you have already done very well.
The latter part of the letter mentions the Su family's true treasure.
It turns out that the Su family ancestors were once extremely wealthy during three dynasties. In order to avoid the war, they secretly transported most of their wealth to a hidden location in Tibet and buried it there.
The key to unlocking the treasure vault is this "Phoenix Wearing Peony" jade pendant.
Unfortunately, half of this jade pendant was lost a hundred years ago, and the one my father has is only half of it.
The whereabouts of the other half of the jade pendant were unknown to the father. He only learned from his grandfather that the eight words were "When the jade pendants are reunited, the treasure land will appear."
So, the complete Phoenix and Peony painting is a treasure map?
"Qin Ye, the young master of the Qin family, is of upright character and brave in battle. He is a trustworthy person. If things cannot be accomplished, go to Tibet to find him; there may be a glimmer of hope there."
At the end of the letter, the father also attached some preliminary evidence he had collected of Su Dongcheng as an enemy agent of the island nation, as well as the address of a property that Su Dongcheng had purchased in the suburbs of Shanghai.
"Su Dongcheng rarely mentions that property, so it's likely his secret hideout. Be careful."
Su Tang carefully folded the letter and put it into her spatial storage along with the land deeds and half of the jade pendant.
Suburban properties… Su Tang’s eyes turned cold.
Yesterday, when she overheard Su Dongcheng and Jiang Sushuang arguing, Su Dongcheng mentioned that Jiang Sushuang had visited his house in the suburbs.
It seems that this is where they met in secret, and it is also very likely where Su Dongcheng kept important things.
Su Tang took a deep breath.
Now is not the time to be sad.
Now that she had the crucial evidence, she had nothing left to worry about.
Su Dongcheng, Jiang Sushuang, Jiang Xinyue...
Every single one of them, no one can escape.
What she needs to do next.
It means taking back everything that the two scoundrels have embezzled from the Su family over the years.
