"Your current coma was not an accident, but caused by human error."
"kindness?"
Bai Qianmo pondered for a moment: "Who is it?"
"It was a joint effort by the Mohists and the Yin family."
Bai Qianmo was shocked to hear this answer.
The Mohists and the Yin School have been irreconcilable enemies due to their struggle for global resources.
Later, a romantic entanglement ensued, escalating to a point of near-conflict.
How could these two companies possibly join forces?
Unless, she has a reason why these two companies must cooperate?
What could it be?
If the Mo family and the Yin family can join forces, what about the Feng family and the Gu family, which are also ancient and powerful families?
Do they know something inside?
To understand the origins of these four families, we must go back more than a thousand years.
It is said that the ancestors who initially founded these four families were four brothers who went through thick and thin together.
They joined the army together, achieved remarkable military exploits, and rose through the ranks to become key ministers of the imperial court.
The original four major families, united in their hatred of the enemy, even established a charity organization called Shan Kou Tang. This Shan Kou Tang was nominally a private organization that did good deeds, but in reality, it was being manipulated by people from the four major families.
When one family is in trouble, help comes from all sides.
As the saying goes, wealth doesn't last three generations. Over time, signs of disintegration began to appear within the four great families. Brothers turned against each other, fathers and sons became suspicious of each other, and their great power attracted the attention of the imperial family, leading to internal and external troubles.
The four families, which were originally on good terms, suddenly fell out for some unknown reason.
From then on, they never spoke to each other again. In fact, they schemed against and harmed each other in order to seize resources. Over the centuries, they fought each other and their hatred had become deeply rooted.
Extending this further, the four major families still appear to be Gu, Feng, Mo, and Yin, but in reality, this is merely the covert operation.
On the surface, many of today's internationally renowned families are descended from these four families.
For example, the Gu family, the Feng family, the Gu family, and the Qin family have very close relationships.
She had a vague feeling that the Gu and Gu families were hiding a big secret.
The Huo family is said to share the same lineage as the Yin family.
The Mohists were relatively low-key, but they were passionate about research in medicine, physics, biology, and technology.
Experts who have made outstanding contributions to the global field of science, technology, and medicine are all associated with the Mohist school.
At this point, Bai Qianmo discovered a secret about the Gu family.
She suspected that while Grandpa Gu was ostensibly in charge of the Gu family, the real boss behind the scenes was Fifth Brother.
Why would she have this idea?
First, based on the combined ages of Gu Jueye and Xu Changchong, they are already 130 or 140 years old.
Prior to this, the Gu family had actually been in decline for a long time, and it was estimated that the other three families had stopped associating with them for more than two hundred years.
It was only after Fifth Brother appeared, or rather, after Fifth Brother met Old Master Gu, that the Gu family rose again and returned to the ranks of the four great families.
Second, Grandpa Gu's attitude towards Fifth Brother.
On the surface, Fifth Brother and Grandpa Gu are more like close friends despite their age difference; everyone in Gudeburg respects Fifth Brother even more than Grandpa Gu.
Grandpa Gu himself treated Fifth Brother with utmost respect.
Based on this, it can be inferred that Fifth Brother might be the mastermind behind the Gu family.
However, this was just her guess.
Given Fifth Brother's low-key and reserved personality, he would not admit it voluntarily.
That's a bit of a tangent. Let's get back to the main topic.
What could have caused the Mohist and Yin families, who are sworn enemies, to join forces to harm her?
Is there something special about her?
"Fifth Brother, why did they do this?"
"For the sake of the Qi King's Tripod."
Qi King Ding?
Bai Qianmo was slightly taken aback. What kind of connection was this?
She knew about the Qi King's Ding. It was the first of the Gu family to be granted the title of king. It is said that when the King of Qi went on a southern expedition, he unexpectedly obtained a meteorite that fell from the sky. The Gu family ancestor ordered someone to send the stone to the Imperial Observatory.
Since ancient times, the Imperial Observatory has been the department that observes celestial phenomena, calculates the solar terms, and formulates the calendar. Most of the heads of the Imperial Observatory, the Grand Astrologer, were Taoist practitioners who were proficient in divination, calculation, and the prediction of destiny.
Meteorites falling from the sky were not understood in ancient times.
Therefore, they would all be transferred to the Imperial Observatory for management.
When the on-duty Grand Astrologer examined the meteorite, he discovered that it contained elements that resembled neither copper nor gold.
The Grand Astrologer presented himself to the Emperor and proposed that this strange object be cast into a bronze tripod to ward off evil and ensure the safety of the country.
At that time, the world was about to be unified, and the only place that had not yet been recovered was the southern border region.
After the bronze tripod was completed, the emperor bestowed it upon the illustrious King of Qi, naming it the "King Qi Tripod."
However, this is only one of the credible explanations for the origin of the Qi King Ding.
Some say that the Qi King's Ding was not made of a meteorite, but rather an ancient bronze cauldron.
What is true and what is false is now impossible to verify.
The only certainty is that all four major families are searching for the Qi King's Cauldron.
What exactly is the allure of this Qi King's Ding?
What makes these top-tier wealthy and powerful families flock to it?
"What does the Qi King's Ding have to do with me?"
Why search for the Qi King's Ding? Why look for her?
Bai Qianmo vaguely sensed a mystery slowly enveloping her, shrouded in mist, with no idea what terrifying truth lay hidden deep within.
“I am also investigating the specific reasons. Based on the information I have gathered over the years, it is related to you, Xu Jin'en.”
"Wait, I need to sort this out properly."
Bai Qianmo pressed her temples and fell into deep thought.
If I were sent to the warlord era more than a hundred years ago by the combined forces of the Yin family and the Mo family.
So, Xu Jin'en there became her.
That's understandable.
A sudden inspiration struck me...
More than a hundred years ago, she did something in that era that was related to the Qi King's Ding.
So, that's why the four major families have their eyes on her?
"Fifth Brother, please continue."
"Your main consciousness, also known as your soul, was sent by the Mo family more than a hundred years ago and became Xu Jin'en. In that special era, there was a saying: He who obtains the Qi King's Cauldron will rule the world."
Thus, the various warlords, each with their own ulterior motives, began searching for the whereabouts of the Qi King's Tripod. I, posing as Xu Changchong, occupied the area around Shanghai and received news that someone from the Mohist school had already found the location of the Qi King's Tripod's tomb. Because the Gu family were descendants of the Qi King, I secretly led a group to Kunlun Mountain, intending to re-enter the Qi King's tomb to stop the Mohist school from succeeding..."
At this point, Gu Jueye's gaze turned deep and strange, staring intently at her.
Bai Qianmo felt a tremor in her heart, sensing that what he was about to say must be related to her.
He slowly began to speak: "A hundred years ago, I stumbled into the tomb of the King of Qi alone. Before even entering the main burial chamber, I was suddenly controlled by a force. When I awoke, I was in the Republican era. I entered the tomb as Xu Changchong, having made thorough preparations beforehand, which allowed me to reach the main burial chamber. And then…"
"What was the result?" Bai Qianmo felt the truth was about to burst out of her throat.
She suddenly became inexplicably nervous.
