Chapter 123 Yamamoto's Actions
Yun Hao hadn't been separated from Lu Yi for very long and was just about to catch up on some sleep, as he hadn't had a proper rest these past few days due to running around, when he received another call from Lu Yi.
When Yun Hao arrived, travel-worn, Lu Yi and Yan Wu were already waiting for him.
Both of them looked serious, their brows furrowed as they stared at a newspaper on the table.
Yun Hao sensed that something was wrong and suppressed his intention to complain. "What's wrong?"
Lu Yi handed the newspaper directly to him, "Look at this news..."
Following the direction he was pointing, Yun Hao saw a newly published news article in the newspaper.
"Hideichiro Yamamoto, a successor of traditional Japanese culture, is about to visit China!"
Upon seeing the name Yamamoto, Yun Hao's heart skipped a beat, and then he carefully read the following content.
Shuichiro Yamamoto, the head of the Yamamoto family in traditional Japanese musical theater, is over 100 years old this year, but he is still active on stage.
The purpose of this visit to my country is to learn about our country's excellent traditional culture. The ship is Glenn and will arrive in China in December.
After reading the report, Yun Hao's face darkened completely, and he put down the newspaper.
"This old man... he must be the old man who's connected to He Wen..."
"I'm afraid that's how it is..."
Otherwise, there's no way to explain such a coincidence...
He Wengang had an accident, and at his age, he still had to travel thousands of miles by ship to come here...
Strangely, I can understand that he might have known about He Wen's accident through some channel.
But why did he come here?
Is it really just because of Baiyun's past relationship with him?
Yan Wu had just heard Lu Yi recount their discovery.
He tried to explain, "Could it be that He Wen promised him something?"
Following this line of thought, Yun Hao also guessed, "But he hasn't obtained it yet. Because He Wen suddenly collapsed, his plans were disrupted."
This was completely unexpected, so he didn't hesitate to take matters into his own hands...
Following this line of thought, Lu Yi reviewed He Wen's case again and discovered that the most likely explanation was that they were still coveting the Bai family's enormous wealth...
It seems that He Wen may have used the Bai family's enormous wealth as leverage to negotiate a deal with Yamamoto, or perhaps this deal had already been in the works for some time...
The will left by the Bai family ancestors stated that the Bai family's wealth had been coveted by foreign invaders.
Because they didn't want their millennia-old wealth to be stolen by foreign invaders, the Bai family buried all their possessions in the mountains to draw the enemy's attention away from them.
Because they chose to use themselves as a smokescreen, the only branch of the Bai family that was ultimately harmed was Ranran's maternal grandfather.
But the enemy was still not satisfied, believing that the Bai family's wealth was still dormant somewhere, so they secretly colluded with the Bai family's traitors.
In other words, Baiyun's adoptive father colluded with others to find this wealth, but little did they know that after so many years of surveillance, they would be able to find it.
The location of this treasure remains unknown, because even the true descendants of the Bai family have long forgotten where the Bai family's wealth is...
They may have learned from Baiyun's adoptive father that the head of the Bai family each possessed a piece of jade.
