Chapter 342 The Compass is Ruined
Xu Youyou listened to this and remembered that Mr. Wu seemed to have said something similar.
"Even if we know where the thing is, we can't find it?" Xu Youyou asked.
Old Mrs. Wu nodded and said, "My father is very capable and stubborn. He kept many things from us children. He only revealed a little to me. But I knew long ago that he was different from ordinary people."
Xu Youyou believed what she said.
On the other hand, the younger generation Wu Xiaoguang had his mouth drooping and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.
"Grandpa Zeng may be a capable man, but he has a weird temper. He doesn't know how to earn the money that's handed to him. If it were me, I would have rented the cellar to the crew long ago. Now where can I find a fool to spend hundreds of thousands to rent a cellar..."
Wu Xiaoguang stopped talking when he saw Xu Youyou's unhappy look.
Xu Youyou said bluntly: "The crew you mentioned is invested by me."
Wu Xiaoguang suddenly felt like a chicken with its neck strangled, and he didn't dare to speak for a long time.
Old Mrs. Wu looked at her disappointing nephew and said, "Since your great-grandfather is unwilling to rent, he must have his reasons. Stop speaking ill of your elders behind their backs."
Wu Xiaoguang still knew how to ask for money from Old Lady Wu, so he didn't dare to confront her head-on and could only lower his head.
At this time in the urban area of Fushan County, Hunan Province, in a black Maybach, an old man with a skinny face was holding a humming compass in his hand.
"Go west." The old man said in a vague voice.
The driver didn't dare to slack off at all and drove directly west.
The car drove for a long time and finally, following the slow guidance of the compass, entered a village and finally stopped in front of a two-story building at the end of the village road.
The gate to the yard in front of the house was only half-closed, and the old man's entourage walked straight in, and came out soon after.
"Dragon King, there's no one in the room. What on earth is this? Can we go in and find it ourselves?"
Hearing this, the Red Dragon King shook his head and looked down at the compass, which no longer indicated the direction but started spinning wildly after arriving here.
"How can I get the treasure if the master hasn't invited me?" said the Red Dragon King.
After hearing this, the master beside him immediately said, "Brother, I will go to the village to ask about the situation of this family."
The Red Dragon King nodded and added, "This treasure is extremely precious..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the compass in his hand suddenly made a loud noise and exploded.
"Brother, are you hurt?" the master asked with concern.
The Red Dragon King looked at the broken compass needle and said with joy instead of sadness, "I knew that with such a big reaction from the compass, a treasure must have appeared in the world."
The master was still worried: "A good compass is destroyed. This is the most precious magic tool for you, brother. I don't know how many antiques you have spent to support it. Is it worth it?"
The Red Dragon King waved his hand and said, "Don't think too much. As long as we can get this treasure, it's worth it even if we blow up ten or eight compasses."
Since the master was able to become the most trusted person of the Red Dragon King, his investigative ability was naturally not bad. He soon learned about what had happened in the past two days from the villagers.
"A beautiful girl named Xu, more beautiful than a star, and very generous."
When the Red Dragon King heard this description, he immediately knew who he was talking about, and said with a gloomy face: "This girl is very cunning. If we let her get involved, I'm afraid the things won't fall into our hands."
The master said, "Hearing what Big Brother said, I have the same worry. Based on what the villagers said, I guess that the thing should still be in the hands of Old Man Wu. He talked with Xu Youyou for a long time last night. Maybe the two have reached an agreement. Now our only chance is to find his great-grandson."
The Red Dragon King nodded, agreeing with the master's idea, and said, "There is no time to lose, and there is no need to wait for the old man to die. Let's send someone over now, and we can offer a higher price."
In the hospital, the Wu family thought Xu Youyou would leave immediately, but they didn't expect that she would stay in the hospital all the time. Even when she went to eat, she would leave two bodyguards to watch over the old man's bed.
"Ms. Xu, if you hadn't discovered my father's sudden illness in time, we still don't know what happened to him. You really don't have to stay here with him and waste your time." Old Mrs. Wu said with a guilty look on her face.
Xu Youyou shook her head: "I won't say those polite words. The deal between Mr. Wu and I has not been completed yet. I should be more eager for him to be alive than anyone else in the world."
When Mrs. Wu heard this, she didn't feel offended. Instead, she felt a sense of relief.
She was old and couldn't stay by her bed all the time. The younger generations in the family all had their own things to do, and the only person who could stay here all the time was the idle Wu Xiaoguang.
To be honest, Old Mrs. Wu was not at all confident about her nephew. After all, he was a good-for-nothing. If something happened to an old man while taking care of him, she wouldn't know where to cry.
Although Xu Youyou is an outsider, she brings a group of people with her, so she is definitely more reliable than Wu Xiaoguang.
Wu Xiaoguang was also unwilling to let himself be burdened, so he also persuaded Mrs. Wu: "Auntie, you don't want the free labor, why do you have to make me work so hard? I have something else to do, so I'll go back first."
After Wu Xiaoguang said this, he turned around and was about to leave when the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
"Two hundred thousand? Tell me the story again... I usually don't agree... but since you said it sincerely, five hundred thousand, one price!" Wu Xiaoguang said to the person on the other end of the phone.
Old Lady Wu felt something was wrong with what she said, and asked with a cold face, "What shady people are you dealing with again? Are you going to do something illegal?"
When Wu Xiaoguang heard this, he put away his phone and immediately started to act out: "Auntie, you have disliked me since I was a child. I think you are prejudiced against me! I swear to God, I have done nothing illegal! If you continue to look at me with tinted glasses like this, I will really do something illegal to show you!"
Wu Xiaoguang's reaction was so great, but Mrs. Wu's eyes did not fluctuate at all. Instead, she said, "If you really want to do something illegal, I don't have a nephew like you. Don't look for me if you get into trouble in the future."
Wu Xiaoguang snorted and said, "If you don't want to find it, then don't look for it! Do you think you are so good to me? I don't care!"
After saying this, Wu Xiaoguang left the hospital angrily.
The worry on Mrs. Wu's face was almost condensed into substance: "I don't know what kind of trouble this useless thing will cause!"
Xu Youyou comforted her, "Old lady, since he doesn't listen to my advice, you don't have to ask for trouble. Your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. It will only add to your troubles if you worry about everything."
