Chapter 298



Cheng Yunan held a small knife and pried open the surrounding floor tiles bit by bit.

Judging from the appearance of the edges, it is obviously quite old. I am afraid that the family is afraid that the place is too sealed off and they can't find it.

After prying open the floor tile, I saw a pitch-black hole.

This place had been closed for too long, and Cheng Yunan was afraid that there would be no air circulation and people would suffocate if they went in, so he stood at the entrance of the cave for a while.

I struck a match and threw it in. Seeing that it did not go out on its own and that I could feel a slight breeze, I knew that there must be some other place under this dry well.

There was a staircase built on the edge, which was inserted diagonally into the room. Cheng Yunan stepped on it tentatively and found it to be quite sturdy, so he walked in carefully.

Fortunately, she still had a flashlight in her space. She held the stairs with one hand and held the flashlight with the other. Soon, she stepped onto a relatively wide piece of ground.

After entering, the space inside was much more empty than it looked from the outside. The gusty breeze gave Cheng Yunan goose bumps.

I continued walking forward for more than 10 meters and came across a small fork in the road.

"Su, go to the right. The right side smells like gold." Tongzi popped his head out quickly and gave orders.

Cheng Yunan praised him without any hesitation: "Tongzi, you are awesome! This is the first time I see you so positive."

"Suyou, I'm still very active. How about giving me some reward for my contribution?" Tongzi pointed at his fingers, trying hard to get benefits for himself.

"How much do you want?" Cheng Yunan asked with a playful smile.

"Hehe! Not much, not much, give me half... No, Tongzi is not greedy, how about dividing it into two... Both..." The more Tongzi spoke, the more uneasy he felt.

"Then... that's all! Wow! Su, I emptied my small vault to find the exact location of the gold. Please have some mercy on me! I'm poor!"

This is really true. I just spent all my points out of my own pocket to test the gold.

Cheng Yunan heard Tongzi crying and felt a rare pity for him. Then he said, "Okay, since Tongzi thinks he is so well behaved, I will reward him."

"Wow! Sukuro, you are so nice! Tongzi is so happy, Tongzi actually got a reward! I am the best Tongzi, how can I be so smart..."

Cheng Yunan: "..." Her head was buzzing, it was too torturous for her eardrums. Click, Tongzi was put in solitary confinement.

Tongzi: “…” Too excited, it’s over!

After shutting off the flies around his ears, Cheng Yunan headed towards the passage to the right.

The first section of the road was quite narrow, and the walls were roughly chiseled. Cheng Yunan took a look and muttered to himself, but it turned out that it was a deliberate attempt to confuse those who came in.

I thought that such a rough place would not be able to hide good things.

After walking for about 15 minutes, Cheng Yunan felt that he was walking down all the time.

The air here is also getting thinner, and I think there must be a dead end ahead.

Finally I saw an iron gate.

The door panel was not very big, only about one and a half meters, so she had to bend down to get in.

The big brass lock in front of him was no problem at all. Cheng Yunan carefully opened the door. The room was no more than 200 square meters and was filled with large wooden boxes.

After a careful count, there were actually six of them. Cheng Yunan was shocked and at the same time was wondering who the owner of this house was. How could he hide so many treasures?

Cheng Yunan thought about going to ask someone.

With so many things, Cheng Yunan didn't hesitate at all and directly put them into the space.

She didn't forget that Ma Tieniu and his group were still outside, so she didn't want to delay any longer.

After he went there, he sealed the ground and backfilled it, then walked over to look at Ma Tieniu and the others who were still dizzy, and simply patted his butt and left.

I took off my facial makeup first, changed my clothes and went back to the guesthouse.

She is now anxious to return to see her new baby.

The door was unlocked, and he flashed into the space.

Looking at the six large boxes in front of her, she opened them one by one, and then...her eyes were almost blinded.

"This...this is too much!"

There were six large boxes in front, four boxes of silver bars, two boxes of gold bars, two boxes of jewelry and calligraphy and paintings, and the rest were all guns and ammunition. Even the rare thing like gas masks was gone.

Tsk tsk…

This is really a life-threatening thing.

If she had known, she would not have brought them back. She might as well have left them there and directly handed them over to the government with an anonymous letter. After all, she had no power to use these things, so handing them over to the government would be a good use of them.

But there was no need to rush. She would call Lu Shiye later. It would be even better if he came back. She could just hand it over to him and save herself some trouble.

Little did they know that the two wives were in sync with each other.

Lu Shiye is on the train coming back

However, there was a small jewelry box on the top layer of the jewelry box.

The box is just an ordinary box, nothing fancy about it, but the simple box itself is made of the finest pear wood.

There was no lock on the box, so it was easy to open. When I opened it, I found a thick stack of letters inside.

The letter had been opened, and Cheng Yunan didn't feel it was immoral to peek at other people's letters, so she opened the letter.

After reading letter after letter, even Cheng Yunan couldn't help but sigh that the woman in the letter was truly a heroine.

The woman in the letter was named Jiang Nan. She was a daughter of a wealthy family in the provincial capital during the Northern Expedition, and a spinster who had been destined to live in Kyoto since she was a child.

Her fiancé's family is also very powerful. His surname is Meng. Young Master Meng went abroad to study when she was six years old and returned to China a year later. When the two families decided to announce the wedding, this young master Meng, under the pretext of arranging a marriage for his parents, started a relationship with Zhang Man, a female classmate who was studying abroad, and even returned to China just to get married.

Naturally, both families disagreed with such an absurd marriage, not to mention that the Meng family had already given a betrothal gift to Jiang Nan, which meant that Jiang Nan was Young Master Meng's new daughter-in-law who had not yet married.

Now he is making a fuss about not getting married, bringing disgrace to the Jiang family and Jiang Nan.

For that young girl whose engagement was broken off, it was tantamount to asking for her life.

And this Miss Jiang Nan is not an ordinary young lady who is illiterate. She is well-read in poetry, has attended a girls' school, and has even dabbled in military strategy and business. According to Jiang Nan's father, if Jiang Nan were his son, he would definitely push the Jiang family to a higher level.

When the news that Young Master Meng was unfaithful and was going to write her a letter of divorce spread back to the provincial capital, she not only suffered the heartache and embarrassment from her family, but was also ridiculed and mocked by outsiders, and even all kinds of rumors spread outside. She went from being a daughter of the Jiang family to a loser whose engagement was broken off in everyone's eyes.

Jiang Nan has never been a gentle and indecisive person. She has to go, face the doubts, and go north to find a way to live for herself.

Cheng Yunan couldn't help but admire Jiang Nan's determination and tenacity in facing worldly views at that age.

To have such a good girl, that young master Meng must be blind.

Sure enough, when Jiang Nan arrived in Kyoto, he learned about the affair between Meng Dashao and Zhang Man, and that they had openly gone to the newspapers to write some obsolete remarks against arranged marriages and slandering women's integrity.
