"A huge inheritance? How come we've never heard of it before?" Lin Wanqing asked, her face full of doubt.
After a moment of contemplation, Ayu said, "It seems we need to find that so-called important document first; perhaps it can solve all the mysteries."
The clues have been cut off.
Based on some clues in the letters, Ayu and Lin Wanqing began searching for the important document among their family's old belongings. They returned to their hometown and searched every corner, but found nothing.
Meanwhile, they realized they seemed to be being followed. Walking down the street, they could always feel a pair of eyes watching them from the shadows. Ayu realized that their investigation might have touched on the interests of certain people, alerting the mysterious organization behind them.
One evening, Ayu and Lin Wanqing returned to their residence to find the room ransacked. All the investigation materials had been destroyed, and even the crucial letter was missing.
"What should we do, Ayu? We've lost all our leads," Lin Wanqing said anxiously.
Ayu clenched her fist, a resolute glint in her eyes: "Don't worry, Sister Wanqing. The more they do this, the closer we are to the truth. If we start over, we'll definitely find a way."
Just when they were at their wits' end, Ayu suddenly remembered a story her father had told her about a family treasure when she was a child. Although she had only taken it as a story at the time, now she thought it might be related to that important document.
“Sister Wanqing, I remember Father saying that the family treasure is hidden in a secret place, and only direct descendants of the family can find it. Perhaps that document is hidden where the treasure is located,” Ayu said.
A glimmer of hope ignited in Lin Wanqing's eyes: "Then let's think quickly, has Father mentioned any clues about the location of the treasure?"
Ayu tried hard to recall the details of the story her father told her: "My father said that the treasure was hidden in a place with 'three ancient trees' and a winding stream around it. From a high place, the terrain looked like an eagle spreading its wings."
Mysterious Valley
Based on this vague clue, Ayu and Lin Wanqing began searching for a suitable location in the surrounding area. They consulted numerous maps, visited many villages, and finally discovered a suspected location in a remote mountainous region.
When they arrived at the valley, the sight before them filled them with joy. At the entrance to the valley stood three ancient trees, and a stream meandered through the middle of the valley. From the mountaintop, the shape of the entire valley truly resembled an eagle spreading its wings.
"This is it, Sister Wanqing," Ayu said excitedly.
The two followed the stream into the valley, searching for possible hiding places for treasure and documents. Deep in the valley, they discovered a cave. The entrance to the cave was partially blocked by a huge rock, and the surrounding area was overgrown with vines.
Ayu and Lin Wanqing struggled to push aside the boulder and enter the cave. The cave was filled with a damp smell, and the walls shimmered with strange light. They proceeded cautiously forward, when suddenly Ayu tripped over something and nearly fell.
Looking down, they saw it was a worn-out box. Ayu and Lin Wanqing exchanged a glance, then opened it together. Inside were some old letters, a family genealogy book, and an exquisite box.
Ayu opened the family genealogy and carefully flipped through it, finally discovering some strange markings on one of the pages. Referring to the terrain inside the cave, they found a hidden mechanism.
After pressing the mechanism, one wall of the cave slowly opened, revealing a secret chamber. Inside the chamber was a golden box. Ayu stepped forward, opened the box, and sure enough, there was a document inside.
The contents of the document shocked them. It turned out that Ayu and Lin Wanqing's family had once been a prominent business family with enormous wealth. However, years ago, a power struggle erupted within the family. Some people, in an attempt to seize the wealth for themselves, orchestrated the fire, trying to burn Ayu and Lin Wanqing's family to death and destroy all evidence regarding their inheritance rights.
The mysterious organization was hired by the family branch that participated in the power struggle back then. They had been searching for the document that could prove Ayu and Lin Wanqing's legitimate right to inherit the property, in order to ensure that they could not inherit the property.
The mastermind behind the scenes has been revealed.
Armed with this crucial document, Ayu and Lin Wanqing decided to bring the mastermind behind it all to justice. They found a trusted lawyer, explained the situation in detail, and presented the document as evidence.
Based on clues in the documents, the lawyers began an in-depth investigation into the power struggle of that year and the background of the mysterious organization. After arduous efforts, they finally identified the mastermind behind it all—Gu Yanting's father, Gu Zhenhua, the founder of the Gu Group.
It turns out that back then, Gu Zhenhua coveted the wealth of Ayu and Lin Wanqing's families. To achieve his goal, he orchestrated a series of conspiracies, including causing a fire and hiring a mysterious organization to find documents. Gu Yanting, it's highly likely, has inherited his father's mantle and will continue to persecute Ayu and Lin Wanqing.
Ayu and Lin Wanqing decided to take Gu Zhenhua to court and make him pay for his crimes. However, after learning of Ayu and Lin Wanqing's actions, Gu Zhenhua began to use various means to obstruct them.
He bribed some witnesses in an attempt to distort the facts and threatened and intimidated Ayu and Lin Wanqing. But Ayu and Lin Wanqing did not back down; they firmly believed that justice would ultimately prevail over evil.
In court, Ayu and Lin Wanqing's side, relying on the crucial document and their lawyer's strong defense, engaged in a fierce battle with Gu Zhenhua's side. Gu Zhenhua continued to make excuses and try to confuse the situation in court, but faced with irrefutable evidence, his lies were gradually exposed.
At a crucial moment, a member of the mysterious organization involved in the fire had a change of heart and voluntarily testified in court, further confirming Gu Zhenhua's crimes. Ultimately, the court found Gu Zhenhua guilty, and he will face legal consequences for his past misdeeds.
Ayu and Lin Wanqing finally uncovered the huge conspiracy behind their mysterious origins, clearing their families of wrongdoing. Their relationship also deepened during this arduous investigation. From then on, they began a new life, filled with hope for the future.
