Except for the people on guard on the deck, all the other followers gathered in a cabin on the side to drink and eat meat. Luo Qiao glanced at the father and son of the Luo family and saw that they were also among the group of people, but their faces had serious expressions.
Luo Qiao bent down and walked towards the cabin of the tattooed man. When she arrived, she found someone guarding the door. After testing the wind direction, Luo Qiao found an opportunity to sprinkle a handful of sleeping pills over and put the man into the space at the moment he was about to fall.
He quickly retreated back to his original hiding place, wanting to see if the people in the house had heard the noise. He also entered the space first. Except for a wooden basket, there was no other useful information on the man.
Luo Qiao looked outside and saw that there was no movement, so she carefully went to the cabin door and put her ear to it. She heard the tattooed man in the morning say, "Master, you are taking a big risk this time. If something goes wrong, how can I explain it to the young master?"
"I'm already this old, and I only have a few years left to live. I've kept this matter in my mind for decades. If nothing comes of it, I'm afraid I'll have to die with regrets."
"No matter how important money is, is it more important than your life? Do you not trust your subordinates?"
The man patted the tattooed man on the shoulder and said, "You grew up beside me since you were a child. I can't trust anyone but you. But if I really can't find the thing this time, I want to look there.
If I still can’t open it this time, then that batch of things is not meant for me. I will let it go and never think about it again. I will spend the rest of my life enjoying my grandchildren.”
"Now we have the daughter-in-law of the Lu family. If that thing is really in their hands, I believe they will use it to exchange for someone else. After all, they don't know the use of the jade pendant at all. Even if they are very careful, they would not think that the jade pendant is the key to unlock the treasure."
"Hush, be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall. I don't want anyone else to know about this. Apart from you, I have only mentioned this to Wu Jin. You need to be careful about everything."
"Master, all the people on this ship are ours, and it's on the high seas. You are too cautious."
"It's better to be safe than sorry. It's not easy for me to come here this time, and I have arranged a substitute. So if I can't get the jade pendant tomorrow, I will directly disguise myself and go to Chongqing. I want to go there and take a look."
"It's probably not a good idea to enter Yintiao Ridge at this time. If someone spots us, wouldn't that mean we've led the way for nothing?"
"If that doesn't work, we can have someone bring some explosives in to blow up the entrance. Anyway, that place is deep in the mountains, so no one will notice even if there's a lot of noise."
"You think too simply. Unless you use the jade pendant to open the door, the mechanism inside will be activated. Even if you are several hundred meters outside, no one can escape."
"The jade pendant is probably not in the Lu family. Otherwise, there would be no news for so many years. The Lu family has been searched several times."
"Did Gu Taoran really not have any contact with any member of the Lu family in the end? Or anyone who was on good terms with the Lu and Gu families?"
"No, there was more than one person following Gu Taoran at the time, so the only possibility is that the jade pendant accidentally fell on the road and was picked up by someone."
"You've been traveling a lot these past few days. You should rest early. Whether we can get it tomorrow or not, we'll go to Chongqing."
After hearing these words, Luo Qiao carefully released the person who had been put into the space, then sprinkled a handful of antidote over and went straight back to the tool room.
He quickly reviewed what he had just heard in his mind. If this was the case, he couldn't let Lu Yichen alert the enemy. It would be best for him to follow them to Chongqing and find the place.
Otherwise, Yintiaoling is so large, where can we find the treasure?
No wonder he still holds on to it after so many years. It's true that people die for money and birds die for food. It seems that it was because of this treasure that Lu Yichen's mother met with a murder.
