Chapter 145: Enmity with the Hongmen
"Don't be ignorant, you little brat!" Hong Qiusheng's men immediately pointed their guns at Jing Junzhuo's forehead and threatened fiercely, "It's your good fortune that the young lady likes you."
Jing Junzhuo straightened his back stubbornly.
Hong Qiu Sheng flew into a rage and kicked Jing Junzhuo hard in the leg from behind.
Jing Junzhuo was caught off guard and suddenly knelt down.
Hong Qiusheng's bodyguard punched and kicked Jing Junzhuo.
"Enough!" Hong Yue slammed the table and stood up. "Let him go! His uncle is dead, and his body hasn't been found yet. How can you force him into a marriage?"
Hong Yue stood up and opened the door for Jing Junzhuo herself, "You go in!"
Hong Qiu Sheng doted on his daughter, but when his daughter tried to stop him, he was very angry, but he didn't dare to say anything.
Jing Junzhuo slowly stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, glanced at Hong Yue, nodded slightly, and left without looking back.
…
After leaving the restaurant, Jing Junzhuo looked back, his eyes full of contempt and cruelty.
He finally understood that in today's chaotic world, if one does not have enough money and power, he will be bullied and trampled underfoot.
Human beings have no sense of joy or sorrow.
You can't rely on anyone but yourself.
Jing Junzhuo clenched his fist and said, "Hong Qiusheng, one day, I will repay you double for the humiliation you inflicted on me today."
He turned around, called a rickshaw, and went to Jiang Deqing's house.
When he was in Southeast Asia, when he knew that the ghost fetus might be fatal, he immediately stole Uncle De's key chain, secretly left the camp, and took a fishing merchant ship from Southeast Asia back to his country after many twists and turns. He almost died on the way.
He had long anticipated that Jiang Deqing would not come back and Zhan Hengyi would not let him live.
Jiang Deqing’s house is a quadrangle courtyard from the previous dynasty. It has rockery, stone carvings, ponds and small bridges. You might think it is the house of a minister of the previous dynasty!
Jing Junzhuo searched every room and found quite a lot of antiques, gold, jade and jewelry.
He also found a parchment scroll, and when he opened it, he found it was a treasure map.
After studying it for a moment, he took the treasure map, locked the door, and left the hospital.

In Lingling's ward.
Jing Junzhuo paced back and forth, looking at his watch from time to time.
Finally, Yu Lingling woke up after coughing twice.
Jing Junzhuo's impatient expression faded, replaced by a worried one. He personally poured her a glass of water and said, "Are you still feeling unwell? I'll call a doctor."
Yu Lingling was somewhat flattered, "Thank you, thank you."
Jing Junzhuo said, "Why thank you? You did this because you helped me. I should thank you. Uncle De is dead. From now on, you are the only one who can help me."
He handed her a jeweled box filled with jewels and said, "See if you like it. I'm giving it to you as an apology. You've really helped me so much."
Yu Lingling usually treats people harshly, like a hedgehog, but when facing the handsome, gentle and gentleman Jing Junzhuo, she loses her temper and even learns to be shy, "Thank you, I like it.
Don't worry, from now on, I will do my best to help you."
"By the way, can you help me see what this is?" Jing Junzhuo handed the parchment treasure map to Yu Lingling.
Yu Lingling frowned and took a look. "It's the underground treasure map of the largest imperial mausoleum in Yuanbao Mountain. This treasure map must have been drawn by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory back then. Only people in the Xuanmen can understand it.
It marks the mechanisms in the imperial mausoleum, the locations of hidden treasures, and the burial places of the emperor and his concubines. With it, one can avoid the mechanisms in the tomb and obtain the treasures in the tomb.
However, the treasure map states that if you want to open the secret door to the treasure room in the tomb, you need a key: a white jade finger bone."
