How could Ling Jiheng not see what Mr. Dong could think clearly?
Of course not. He even suspected that the other party had been planning for decades just for the Dong family's old house.
But, what secrets does this dilapidated old house really have? Or is it a secret that even Mr. Dong doesn't know?
Ling Jiheng planned to come and check it out at night so that if there was anything, he could make preparations in advance.
He and Chi Xingyue left Dongcheng, went to a fur shop to buy a few fox skins, and then returned to the inn to rest.
It was snowing today and there was no one outside. The waiter brought a charcoal brazier, which brought some warmth to the cold room.
Chi Xingyue looked at the sky worriedly: "If we delay any longer, we might not be able to return to Qingshan Village."
How could Ling Jiheng not know this, but the opportunity was rare. If he missed it, he might not be able to find such a suitable house again.
Chi Xingyue thought the same, so she didn't urge him. But her worry remained undiminished.
Time passed little by little, and soon it was evening. Chi Xingyue washed up early and lay down in bed.
Ling Jiheng whispered in her ear: "You go back to the fairyland to rest. I will go to the Dong family's old house tonight to check it out."
Chi Xingyue was worried, so she pulled his sleeve and said, "I'll go with you!"
Ling Jiheng shook his head: "It's cold and the roads are slippery. You wait here for me. Don't worry, everything will be fine."
Chi Xingyue frowned, took out two daggers and an electric baton from the space, and gave them to Ling Jiheng for self-defense.
He also said: "It doesn't matter whether it is found or not, safety comes first."
Ling Jiheng raised his hand to ruffle Chi Xingyue's long hair, watched her enter the space, and then put away the smile on his face.
I waited until around nine o'clock in the evening, climbed out the window, and jogged all the way to my destination.
The wind was blowing hard and the snow was falling intermittently, and the snow could not stay on the ground at all.
Ling Jiheng hid in the darkness, listening to the rustling sounds in the yard, and smiled a little strangely.
Unexpectedly, he actually guessed it right. Just how great was the temptation that made these people resort to such unscrupulous means, not only destroying Master Dong, but also extending their hands to Master Dong's two sons.
Ling Jiheng did not act rashly. He hid in the corner and listened to them talk.
"Brother, we've come here so many times, up and down, practically digging three feet underground, and we still can't find what the master wants!"
"Just go find me if the master tells you to. Why are you wasting so much time talking? Don't you want to save your life?"
"Brother, do you think the Dong family really has a treasure?"
"Master, if you say yes, then yes. If you keep on talking nonsense, I'll cut you."
Ling Jiheng raised an eyebrow, thinking that he had to buy the house. A horse cannot grow fat without late-night grass, so he had to seize the opportunity.
As for whether you are afraid of the evildoer behind the scenes, well, why not just cut off his claws before he takes action?
However, it would be even better if the so-called treasure could be taken away without causing any disturbance. This would also avoid direct confrontation, which would not only offend people but also cause unrest in the life ahead.
After Ling Jiheng understood what was going on, he entered the yard from another direction, walking lightly and carefully examining the two men from a distance of several hundred meters.
It was a dark night and he hadn't turned on a lamp, but he could clearly see the soil and bricks beneath his feet.
Ling Jiheng had studied the I Ching and mechanical engineering, so his search for the secret room wasn't like searching for a needle in a haystack. He proceeded with a focused approach and soon found a clue.
However, there is no verification, and I am afraid that the mechanism will make noise when it is activated, which will attract the attention of those two people, and the gain will not outweigh the loss.
After noting the place, he went to other courtyards to check.
As the time approached, the two men left in disappointment. Ling Jiheng followed them, turning left and right, and finally arrived at a house - the Xu Mansion.
Ling Jiheng didn't go in to check, but hurried back to the inn. After a busy night, he missed his wife. I wonder how he slept in the fairyland?
What could Chi Xingyue do? He scratched his head and couldn't sleep alone.
Although the environment in the space is beautiful and the temperature is suitable, she is still upset and can only do something to relieve her anxiety.
I first strolled in the garden and picked some fruits that could be stored until the winter, intending to take them back for my family to try.
Then I went to the village committee building and sorted the jewelry I had bought during this period. I put the ones I particularly liked in the meeting room and found an office to store the ordinary ones.
Chi Xingyue picked out a few gold hairpins to give to the female elders, and jade pendants for the male elders.
The maids and servants also received gifts, including agate-inlaid earrings, beautifully embroidered purses, rouge and powder, etc.
As for Ling Yi and the others, well, Chi Xingyue really didn't know what to prepare for them.
It won’t be appropriate if it’s too light or too heavy, and I don’t know what they like.
Chi Xingyue heard from Ling Jiheng that the salary he paid to his subordinates was quite generous, enough for them to buy houses and get married, and they had no shortage of small things.
But we can't ignore it for this reason, otherwise, wouldn't it make the other person feel cold?
When Chi Xingyue thought of the greedy looks of Ling San and Ling Si, a wicked smile flashed across his face.
I picked a dozen durians from the tree, unwrapped them and put them in the freezer. When I get back to Qingshan Village, I'll give them some sweet treats.
There was also fine wine. Chi Xingyue prepared two large jars, enough for them to get drunk.
Chi Xingyue worked for a long time and only went to the bathroom to wash up when he was tired.
Looking at her delicate facial features in the mirror, she grinned, feeling that being young was good. Even if the soul had seen a lot, it still looked pure and bright.
I dried my long hair in my pajamas, but I wasn't sleepy at all. I was casually strolling around the small building when I accidentally caught a glimpse of the police station behind me. There were actually several police cars in the yard!
I hurried out to see what had happened. Although only a few steps were unlocked on the second floor, there was now a basement.
Chi Xingyue went downstairs out of curiosity and found the legendary "secret room" - a place blocked by a heavy metal door that required fingerprints and passwords.
Chi Xingyue didn't know what the password was. She curled her lips and placed her index finger on the fingerprint machine out of boredom. As a result, a voice prompt came out: "Please re-enter your fingerprint!"
Chi Xingyue: "..."
Oh my god, what's going on? Is this a benefit for the space owner? It's actually "entered" instead of "invalid"!
Chi Xingyue quickly blew on his index finger, then placed his finger on it solemnly.
Then I heard a "ding" sound: "Fingerprint entry successful, please enter the password!"
With the mentality of trying it out without spending any money, Chi Xingyue entered a string of numbers that he often used.
After six digits were entered and the # key was pressed, a voice prompt appeared: "Please re-enter!"
After entering it again, you will hear a voice: "The password has been set successfully, please remember it!"
Chi Xingyue's eyes lit up. He placed his finger on the fingerprint machine and pressed it, then entered the password on the keyboard. After waiting for less than two seconds, he heard a "click" and the door opened.
Chi Xingyue pushed the door open and found that there was a secret hidden here.
