Chapter 7

Fang Mobai suspected that Lin Wei was scolding him: "Really or not?"

"Why are you lying to me?"

Lin Wei was not talking nonsense.

This bungalow was built in 1935 and is the property of patriotic businessman Lin Heying, the grandmother of Yuan Shen and Fang Mobai.

She led Fang Mobai down the stairs from the narrow entrance.

"How come I don't know?" Fang Mobai asked Lin Wei while using a flashlight to light the way.

"The ancestral teachings of the Lin family are that women should not be passed on to men." Lin Wei casually fooled him.

In fact, she bought this bungalow by chance and spent 3.5 small goals. She didn't know there was a darkroom at first. At that time, the bungalow had been abandoned for a long time and was no longer habitable, so she hired a designer to renovate it. It took another 1.8 small goals.

It’s not that she is rich, she only learned during the renovation that this kind of ancient bungalow decoration has to be submitted to the superior for approval. The materials and layout are extremely particular, which consumes money, effort and time. It would be a waste for someone else. At that time, it attracted some Media attention.

After the darkroom was discovered, it sparked a heated discussion: Should Lin Wei donate the contents in the darkroom?

The design of the small western-style building is very exquisite, and this space cannot be seen from the outside.

I heard people said that the ground in the garden outside had been dug up, and the walls and bricks had been knocked over, trying to find where the money was hidden.

Unexpectedly, the owner of this house made a clever move and hid directly in the house.

The two of them went down the stairs and landed on the ground.

The space below is only five meters long and about a little over one meter wide. There are a few boxes stacked in the corner, as well as bookshelves, screens and other things. It is covered with a layer of dust and has not seen light for an unknown period of time.

"Be careful." Lin Wei reminded.

Fang Mobai was very excited and started rummaging around like a treasure hunter. As a result, the whole space was filled with smoke.

"Bah, bah, bah -" Fang Mobai took a mouthful of ashes.

Lin Wei ignored him. Using the residual light of the flashlight, she directly pulled out a small wooden box inside.

There was a lock on the box. Lin Wei checked it and found it a bit difficult. She originally asked a locksmith, but now she couldn't open it. It was too dangerous to find anyone outside.

"Holy shit-" Fang Mobai beside him suddenly exclaimed.

Lin Wei looked towards him. There was a brocade box in front of Fang Mobai, which was already opened.

There are many gold bars on the red brocade satin. At first glance, there are about seven or eight gold bars. Judging from the size, each bar should weigh about 100 grams.

Lin Wei estimated the price. In future generations, it would be worth more than 300,000 yuan.

It's useless. Gold trading is not allowed now, so we can only continue to collect like this until the market opens in the future.

Fang Mobai fiddled with it for a while, then carefully closed the box, and then looked towards Lin Wei.

Seeing the box in front of her, her eyes immediately lit up: "Huh? This is a camphor wood box. There must be something good in it."

Lin Wei turned the box over and showed him the lock on it: "Can't open it."

Fang Mobai frowned. , I also think it’s a bit troublesome. It’s not easy to take this thing outside. Who knows what’s inside? If you don't get it right, you can easily get into trouble.

"Look again, maybe the key is here." Fang Mobai took action, turning on his flashlight and rummaging around on the bookshelf to find the key.

Lin Wei didn't move. She knew what was inside. It didn't matter if she couldn't find the key. It would be the same if she took the things directly to Hong Kong City.

"Did you hear anything?" she asked.

"What?"

As soon as the words fell, the two of them seemed to faintly hear voices coming from above, and their expressions changed.

The brother and sister climbed up in disgrace.

Lin Wei was walking in front, and Fang Mobai kept urging her: "Hurry up, why are you acting like a turtle? Haven't you eaten?" He was so anxious that he wanted to lift Lin Wei up.

At this moment, he was completely afraid of being beaten after causing trouble. Although it was not a bad thing, he instinctively felt that he was going to be beaten.

Many times, he was beaten before he even knew what was happening.

Finally, when his sister went up and heard nothing, Fang Mobai breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of the scene of throwing money in front of the old man in the future, he felt happy again.

"Sister, don't tell your parents about this yet, let's move quietly -"

Lin Wei stood on top expressionlessly, watching the expression on Fang Mobai's face freeze, and then glanced at Fang's father's face. , I didn’t necessarily get beaten in the first place, but now it’s hard to say.

Ten minutes later, the brother and sister sat side by side on the sofa with their hands on their knees, very obedient.

"Who started it and how did they find it there?" Lin Hanzhi asked.

Lin Wei was thinking about how to deal with it. If it was unexpected...

then she heard Fang Mobai beside him say without hesitation -

"Tangtang found out. She said her grandma told her to pass on female rather than male.

" Wei: "..."

How much of a filter does the original owner have for her brother?

Is this the man who is filial, steady, responsible, responsible, and as reliable as a mountain?

First, he used her as a human shield, then as a gun user, and now he decisively betrayed her, so neatly that there was no hesitation, and so skillfully that Lin Wei couldn't help but feel sorry for the original owner.

Passing on from female to male?

Lin Hanzhi looked at Lin Wei, why didn't she know?

Lin Wei forced out a bright smile: "My grandma took me there when I was a child, but I had forgotten about it..." I could only follow this line of thinking, and if I asked again, I would blame it on my ignorance when I was a child.

Fortunately, before Lin Hanzhi could continue to ask questions, Professor Fang climbed out of the darkroom below.

He first sent out the locked box, and then came up with two paper tubes.

Fang Mobai poked his neck and looked: "There are gold bars."

Professor Fang glanced at him and he immediately stopped talking.

Professor Fang gave the box to his lover: "The things below cannot be moved for the time being. Take a look at this box."

Fang Mobai approached Lin Wei and whispered: "What is the old man holding in his arms? Could it be Which master’s masterpiece may be very valuable.”

Lin Wei recalled it and realized that it was indeed very valuable. If it was in good condition, how many small goals would it cost?

However, the premise is that it is in good condition. When she found it in her previous life, the painting was already moldy and rotten. Although the darkroom was treated to be moisture-proof and insect-repellent, it was too long ago. With the weather like this in Yangcheng, it was strange that nothing would happen if it was left there for so long.

Fang Lianxin took it out now, probably for inspection and drying, and took the things out with a solemn expression.

However, this is also a hot potato at the moment when the Four Olds are being destroyed.

Fang Mobai sighed, "It's over now, we don't have anything to do with it anymore." He looked at Lin Wei and saw her calm expression, and asked, "Why aren't you anxious at all? Our business capital is gone. "

Lin Wei didn't say anything. It wasn't hers in the first place. If she wanted to keep it all to herself, she wouldn't have taken Fang Mobai down with her.

What she is thinking about now is how to save this family.

Find the weakness of this old couple and lure them to Hong Kong City. The most difficult thing in the world is to change other people's minds.

Lin Hanzhi held the box, looked at the pair of children chattering together opposite, and said, "Don't mention today's events to outsiders, okay?"

Lin Wei smiled and nodded, acting very well-behaved.

But I feel worried that the other party is still treating them as children, which is really difficult to handle.

"Mom - what's in the box?" Fang Mobai came over and asked.

Lin Hanzhi was quiet for a while, then raised her hand to pick out a silver chain from her neck. Under it was a beautiful key pendant. The key handle had beautiful carvings and exquisite design. It looked more like an accessory.

The key was inserted into the keyhole perfectly, and with a click, the camphor wood box opened.

"Hey - it's not jewelry, what are these things?" Fang Mobai was about to take it, but Lin Hanzhi slapped him down.

Lin Wei just glanced at it briefly to make sure it was something she had seen before.

Inside are some business bills and bank deposit certificates, including some banks and bank numbers that no longer exist.

Some of them belong to foreign banks, including legal tender, gold, and US dollars and British pounds. Needless to say, legal tender has been eliminated long ago, but gold, US dollars, and British pounds can be redeemed at banks in Xiangjiang, provided that those banks have not gone bankrupt.

Lin Hanzhi picked up the top note.

"Let me go - how many zeros is this?" Fang Mobai was shocked.
