270. The Last Secret



One day after the festival, Qian Beijiang asked Zhongbo to pass on a message, saying that he wanted to see Lu Guansheng.

When they arrived at the sanatorium, Qian Beijiang asked everyone to leave as he wanted to talk to Lu Guansheng alone.

"Give me your bracelet!" Qian Beijiang said.

"ah?"

"Don't worry! I'm just borrowing it."

"Grandpa also uses the bracelet?"

"Your grandfather and I discovered this bracelet together, and we worked out how to use it together." What Qian Beijiang meant was that of course he knew how to use it!

He took off the bracelet and handed it to Qian Beijiang, watching him put it on his wrist, close his eyes and start meditating.

Instantly, a space-time hole appeared next to Qian Beijiang's hand. He reached out and took out a small lead box, opened it, and then closed the space-time hole.

Qian Beijiang took off the bracelet and handed it to Lu Guansheng along with the small lead box.

"This is a data storage device I found in the Dark Emperor back then," Qian Beijiang said. "Long Yang spent a long time searching for it, trying to find it. I guess the contents inside are not simple."

"Haven't you seen it?" Lu Guansheng asked after taking the small lead box.

"Back then, this storage device had a positioning system, and even my technology couldn't crack it without leaving a trace," Qian Beijiang said. "After discussing it with your grandfather, we decided to put it in this lead box to block the signal transmission."

Now that there is a golden bell here, Qian Beijiang is not afraid of the signal. When he opened it just now, he also confirmed that the storage device has run out of power! It will not be dangerous to take it out.

Back then, they opened the space-time portal and hid the small lead box in a sealed cave that no one could enter. Unless they possessed the space-time portal, even if it was located, the Hades' men would not be able to obtain it.

"It happened a long time ago. I only thought of it the other day when I saw the little tin box the old woman kept her jewelry in."

There was a pair of jewelry boxes. In a hurry, Qian Beijiang took one of them from the room and installed the storage device in it.

A few days ago, Madam Qian mentioned her dowry, saying that a jewelry box was lost inexplicably, what a pity... Then he remembered that he had used this jewelry box as a storage device!

"I'm old, and my memory isn't as good as it used to be! Luckily I remembered it!" Qian Beijiang murmured, "Although I don't know what's hidden inside, I think you'll definitely have a way to crack it!"

"Thank you, Grandpa!" Lu Guansheng nodded.

He opened the box, took out the storage device, opened the space-time door and put it into the secret room.

"Give this box to Grandma! Tell her you asked me to find it!"

"That's good! It saves me from having the old lady ask me what we talked about in such a secret conversation." Qian Beijiang smiled.

Sure enough, when Old Madam Qian entered the room again and took the box from Qian Beijiang, she thought to herself, "Oh my! Old man! At such an old age, he's still planning secret surprises!"

This box is actually not a valuable item, but it was the guarantee of Mrs. Qian's family's wealth back then.

During the Anti-Japanese War and the house searches, Mrs. Qian's ancestors made a box like this for fear that the family heirloom gold jewelry would be confiscated.

This is a lead embossed box with a silver coating. Inside the box is a velvet wooden box, which looks like an ordinary box in an ordinary family's home.

But there is something strange about this wooden box.

If you look closely, you'll see that the outside is a few centimeters higher than the inside. This is because there's a secret compartment at the bottom of the box!

When the secret compartment is opened, it is a space that is about ten centimeters square and three centimeters high.

The storage device was placed in that secret compartment, exactly the same way that Mrs. Qian's family hid their gold jewelry back then.

After the hype had passed, Mrs. Qian's ancestor took out the gold jewelry and sold it to get the first start-up capital, started a business, and became rich.

So although this pair of small lead boxes was not precious, they were treated as heirlooms and passed down from generation to generation as dowries.

Decades ago, Madam Qian lost the box and blamed herself for a long time. Qian Beijiang knew the truth but could not speak, and was also filled with guilt.

Now that the box is back, but she has only one son and no daughter, Mrs. Qian hesitates whether to pass it on to her daughter-in-law.

"This is a worthless thing, Xiu Ren shouldn't want it, right? I feel like I can't give it away!" Looking at the box, Madam Qian asked Lu Guansheng for his opinion.

"I think it would be more appropriate to pass this pair of boxes to Jiujiu!" Lu Guansheng offered his opinion.

My aunt is not young anymore, so she doesn't really care much about gadgets. But Jiujiu is different. Children just like to have some weird things.

Especially for girls, having a place to hide little secrets may make them feel particularly precious.

"Good idea! I'll give this to her as a gift on New Year's Day!" Old Lady Qian nodded.

Qian Beijiang hadn't been in a good mood recently, and he got tired after chatting for a while. Lu Guansheng didn't bother him anymore and went straight back to Fuyuan, entering the secret room to study the storage device.

This is something similar to an external hard drive, but it is much smaller and uses the now obsolete USBX interface.

It looks like something from the 1950s, very old-fashioned!

Lu Guansheng dug out a USBX card slot interface from his grandfather's old equipment and went straight to the Xuanyuanmen base with the two things.

This day happened to be the day when Gear returned from Eden Bay. When Lu Guansheng arrived, everyone at the base was having a meal in the living room!

"Wow! We're eating hot pot before the weather gets cold yet?" As soon as he entered the door, Lu Guansheng smelled the spicy aroma.

"Ah! Boss! Why are you here so suddenly today?" The chef said with his mouth full. "There are so many dishes! Let's eat together!"

The mining engineer brought a chair to Lu Guansheng, added a set of bowls and chopsticks, and a cup of Cantonese-style herbal tea.
