Chapter 467 Get the Treasure Map
The woman nodded: "Of course, I can fool anyone but you."
She looked at Wang Qi and smiled: "After all, you are my son."
"I told you, I am the son of the Wang family, not your son." Wang Qi got angry when he talked about this. He was extremely scared. He was worried that if someone knew this secret, he would be doomed. "You should understand what kind of situation I am in now. If these words that should not be said are known by others, I will be dead."
"You always say you're my mother. Is that how you think about me?"
The woman laughed and said, "Wang Qi, sooner or later, you will be glad that you are my son."
"Okay, there's no point in arguing with me."
She took out a document and said, "Now that you have thought it through, take a look at this document."
Wang Qi looked at the woman suspiciously, but finally picked up the document and read it carefully.
The more I looked at it, the more astonished I became. At the end, I couldn't help but ask, "Does the merchant really have a treasure map?"
Who is this woman who claims to be his biological mother? If she is really his mother, then who is his father?
Where did you go?
What does this woman want to do?
Why did she replace the Wang family's child with herself?
Wang Qi had many, many questions in his mind, but none of these questions had a definite answer.
He asked, but the woman did not answer.
He only knew that the woman was called Cheng Lu, a widow who worked in a big government office in the North District. She was very capable and was a female comrade that everyone couldn't help but give a thumbs up to when they mentioned her.
Outsiders said that the old man who just opened the door for him was Cheng Lu's father, but only he knew that it was not true.
The old man should be taking orders from Cheng Lu.
"Of course." Cheng Lu said calmly, "If it weren't for the merchant's treasure map, I wouldn't have wasted so much time here."
"It's just a pity that we were fooled by that bitch Yu Wanqing seven years ago." After she finished speaking, a fierce look flashed in her eyes: "She used a fake treasure map to trick everyone into going abroad. Over the years, six groups of people went to look for treasures, and none of them came back alive."
"Because of Yu Wanqing, we suffered heavy losses."
Of course, they were not the only ones who suffered heavy losses in their search for merchants’ treasure maps over the years. There were also other forces who, like them, failed to find the treasure maps, and the people who entered never returned.
Wang Qi couldn't believe what he heard: "Are you sure that the Yu Wanqing you are talking about is Huo Lanci's wife?"
"That little rascal from Shangyang?"
Cheng Lu hummed, "We have already found out that the treasure map is in Yu Wanqing's hands. Our task for you today is to find a way to get the treasure map from Yu Wanqing."
Wang Qi seemed to have heard something ridiculous: "You spent so many years trying to accomplish something and yet you want me to do it?"
"You are just daydreaming."
Wang Qi did not feel that these people respected him, but rather felt that they were making things difficult for him.
Cheng Lu laughed when he heard this: "My good son, why do you think we would go to so much trouble to get you to this position?"
"You think the position of committee director is so easy to hold. If you don't do your job well, I can make you go up or down."
After listening to this, Wang Qi laughed out loud. He pointed at Cheng Lu and said, "So, you are lying to me. I am not your son at all. You lied to me and then used your identity as a mother to force me to do things for you."
"No, you are my son." Cheng Lu walked up to Wang Qi and patted his shoulder: "I am just telling you with facts that power is a good thing. It allows people to do whatever they want."
"Look at yourself again. Even if your mother took the trouble to send you to this position, the Wang family still values Wang Liang who is in the army more."
"Son, if a man does not punish himself, you should also consider yourself."
Cheng Lu leaned over to Wang Qi and whispered, "I won't let you fight alone. There will be people to help you. Don't worry."
After she finished speaking, she smiled and said, "The person I arranged is not like your cheap father. He is just a piece of trash."
The Wang family wanted to return to the military and take power, but unfortunately Mr. Wang was old and retired.
So they hoped that someone from the new generation of the Wang family would be able to stand out in the army. Unfortunately, none of the Wang family members succeeded.
On the contrary, Wang Liang, who was kicked out of home at a young age, struggled alone and finally grew up.
They were unwilling to accept the fact and sent Wang Ming in jail. They never expected that he was a good-for-nothing. Not only did he fail to achieve any merit, but he was also sent to the countryside to work.
As for Wang Qi, he is just a cripple and will never be able to get in touch with the core of military power in his lifetime. In the eyes of the Wang family, it is okay for someone like Wang Qi to engage in some conspiracy, but it is a very risky thing to put him in the position of the head of the family.
Wang Qi was silent for a long time: "I promise you, you have to tell me what your plan is."
"I don't want to die for no reason and not know what happened."
Cheng Lu patted Wang Qi on the back of his head and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Mom is here. Even if you really fail, she won't watch you die."
"Don't think too much. We will succeed. We will get what you want and what I want."
The two talked in the study for a long time. When Wang Qi left, the gloom on his face had disappeared and was replaced by a smile.
After he left, the old man closed the door and looked at the woman standing in the yard: "Is he okay?"
"It's okay if it doesn't work, we still have a backup plan." Cheng Lu smiled: "If it doesn't work, the most we can do is sacrifice one of our sons. I have many sons and daughters, so I don't need this one."
She started having children at the age of sixteen and gave birth to eight children in total. Wang Qi was the least noticeable one.
"We must not fail this time, otherwise, none of us will survive."
Cheng Lu put away the smile on his face when he heard this: "You don't need to remind me every day. I know my mission and I have been working hard over the years."
For the mission, she even sacrificed her own body, traveled among different men, and gave birth to one child after another, and these children were all part of the mission.
She thought she had sacrificed enough for the mission.
"I asked you to look for the descendants of the merchant. Did you find them?" Cheng Lu walked up to the old man and glanced at him calmly: "You have to understand that without the descendants of the merchant, we can't find the treasures even if we find the treasure map."
Speaking of this, Cheng Lu felt unlucky. He didn't know what those old business owners were thinking. They had already left so much wealth to their descendants, yet they still created so many inexplicable obstacles.
The old man frowned upon hearing this: "It is very difficult to find the descendants of the merchants who stayed in the country, and it is not easy to mess with the descendants of the merchants abroad. We have now found a person with the surname Shang in the military district of Beijing City, but we cannot confirm whether he is a descendant of the merchants at that time."
"Are you talking about Shang Xiayang?" Cheng Lu's mission is to get the treasure map of Shang. Anyone with the surname Shang who is outstanding will be targeted by her.
The old man nodded: "That's him."
"Then check his ancestors for 18 generations. If he is really a descendant of a merchant, then it will be easy to find him."
