To be honest, Lu Yuan was happy when he heard that he was the biological son of his godparents, since they were more comfortable to be around than Lu Guoqing.
But that was all; he didn't feel much of a sense of fulfillment. Seeing Xiao Biyun like this, Lu Yuan's eyes instantly turned red.
"A-Yuan, my son!"
Xiao Biyun pushed Xiao Fan away, took a few steps forward, and hugged Lu Yuan tightly before bursting into tears. It seemed she wanted to release all the longing and heartache she had endured over the years.
Lu Yuan thought their reunion would be rational, but he didn't expect Xiao Biyun to have such a strong reaction. Under the influence of the atmosphere, he naturally shed tears along with her.
However, when Gao Weishan returned, the atmosphere had completely changed. The group had recovered, and all that remained was warmth and laughter.
"What are you guys talking about? You all seem so happy."
Seeing that everyone seemed particularly happy today, Gao Weishan put down his bicycle and asked with a smile.
Upon seeing him return, Xiao Biyun rushed over like a child, excitedly grabbing his hand and saying...
"Old Gao, we've found Nannan, oops, I mean, we've found our son?"
Gao Weishan was completely confused, so Xiao Fan explained the situation again.
Gao Weishan froze. A son? His wife gave birth to a son, not a daughter? And the child was switched?
It's all his fault, it's all his fault!
If he had stayed by his wife's side back then, none of this would have happened. His wife's health wouldn't have collapsed, he wouldn't have been unaware that his son had been switched, and he wouldn't have suffered so much hardship outside for so many years.
It's all his fault!
Thank goodness, thank goodness, we can still find our son!
Thinking of this, tears streamed down his face. He felt regret and self-blame, but even more so, he felt immense joy and relief at finding his son.
Overwhelmed by a mix of emotions, the white-haired old man lost control and sobbed as he held his wife and children.
The others were also affected by the atmosphere and began to wipe away tears; even Old Man Liu had tears glistening in his eyes.
When Mo Lijuan returned, she witnessed this scene. She was shocked to learn that the group was recognizing their relatives, and she also admired Lu Yuan's efficiency.
She didn't know how Lu Yuan had told them, but judging from the situation, it was clearly very successful. Gao Weishan and his wife seemed to be completely convinced that Lu Yuan was their son.
This was good news, Mo Lijuan was overjoyed. This was their first and crucial step towards success.
She seemed even happier than the people involved, making plans to celebrate properly that evening, and offering to help in the kitchen.
Celebration was a given; such a joyous occasion naturally deserved a grand celebration. Wen Moxue had been preparing for it for some time, and since she was in the kitchen to help, no one else objected.
"Why does she seem even more excited than us?" Xiao Fan muttered.
The others could see it too; it was so obvious. His mouth was stretched so wide that the two corners of his mouth were practically meeting at the back of his head.
There was also an overwhelming excitement in her voice, as if she were recognizing herself, not Lu Yuan.
Seeing that the people had gone to the kitchen, Lu Yuan called them to the room where Gao Weishan and his wife were. They whispered for a while and told them everything that Mo Lijuan had told him.
Gao Weishan and his wife, along with Xiao Fan, were all shocked. They never expected that their conversation that day would be overheard. Both families knew that this was a secret that could not be told to outsiders. No matter how much they fought amongst themselves, they all knew that they had to follow one principle: not let outsiders know.
Now that Mo Lijuan has found out about this, all three of them are filled with lingering fear.
Fortunately, it happened in a place far from the provincial capital, and only Mo Lijuan overheard it, which led her to find Lu Yuan to cooperate with.
“She won’t tell anyone about this right now; she’s still waiting to get a share of the profits. This will keep her calm for a while. But this isn’t a long-term solution; we need to find a way to resolve this completely,” Lu Yuan said.
"How do we solve this?" Xiao Fan asked.
Lu Yuan had thought about how to solve this problem. In his opinion, it wouldn't be difficult. His wife had a spatial ability, so he could store all the treasures inside, and no one could find any evidence if they wanted to search for them.
As for whether Mo Lijuan will spread the word, they don't need to be afraid. If she does spread it, they can turn the tables and accuse her of wrongdoing.
They said it was Mo Lijuan's slander. She misheard the story that the Gao and Xiao families had donated all their assets and thought there was still some hidden. She also harbored resentment towards Lu Yuan and Wen Moxue, so she deliberately spread rumors. The key point is that nothing was found in the Gao and Xiao families' property.
However, this requires the Gao and Xiao families to work together wholeheartedly, without any selfish motives, and to have complete trust in Lu Yuan and his team. Otherwise, if anyone within the family causes trouble, the whole affair will be exposed.
This is difficult. What they need to guard against right now is Lu Yuan. How could they still trust him and let him manage their assets?
Lu Yuan remained silent, looking at Gao Weishan and his wife.
The couple frowned and didn't notice for a moment.
Lu Yuan asked, "Is the place where it's hidden well-known? Is it possible for someone to find it?"
Gao Weishan said, "It is indeed hidden, but if someone specifically looks for it, it is not necessarily impossible to find it."
Xiao Fan asked, "It's not at the ancestral graveyard, is it?"
"How did you know?" Xiao Biyun asked in surprise.
"I guessed."
Well, you said it was hidden, and you were right the moment I guessed.
Xiao Fan explained, "You donated all your outward possessions, including real estate, and even the ancestral hall was not preserved, but you demanded that the ancestral graves of both families be protected. I guess this is the place."
Lu Yuan was astonished, "Ancestral graves?"
Well, now even the ancestral graves might not be safe!
Seemingly sensing his worry, Gao Weishan smiled and explained, "Don't worry, my grandfather and the others have already thought of this problem. The ancestral graves of both families do not bury our ancestors. They are all buried in another beautiful place."
Xiao Fan was shocked; he really didn't know this.
"Who was buried each time?"
He remembered that when his grandparents and the two elders of the Gao family passed away, they were all buried in the ancestral graveyard.
"No, the body buried in the ancestral grave is a different one we found. Our ancestors were secretly buried in the real ancestral grave."
Well, that's an amazing move!
only……
“Since Xiao Fan can guess the ancestral grave, others can probably guess it too. Outsiders who know about the treasure will probably also think of this place,” Lu Yuan said.
Gao Weishan nodded, "Indeed, it seems we need to move to another location."
"Where are we going? We can't even get into that place; we can't even open that bronze door," Xiao Biyun said.
It's clear the couple had visited the place, but hadn't opened the door.
“Now that we’ve found A Yuan, maybe he can open the mechanism box and get the key,” Gao Weishan said.
Xiao Fan had an inexplicable confidence in him, saying, "My cousin will definitely be able to open it."
He firmly believed that when his two great-grandfathers said that the opportunity lay in the descendants of his aunt and uncle, they must have been referring to Lu Yuan.
"Hey, quickly take out that mechanism box and let A-Yuan try it out," Xiao Biyun instructed Gao Weishan.
This is important; they always carry it with them.
Gao Weishan was about to unlock the cabinet when he heard someone calling for dinner from outside.
The group exchanged glances and decided to go out for dinner first.
