"What are you doing in Jiangsu Province?" Li Xiyue asked in surprise.
Zhuang Le was also surprised, "I already said I'm fine, the old man wouldn't send you to take me back, would he?"
"What do you mean, arrest you?" Li Xiyue looked completely bewildered.
Lu Feng then explained the situation: "Zhang Hai and his gang set a trap to deal with me. Lele was afraid something would happen to me, so she came along."
However, after meeting with Zhuang Le, he immediately called back to Beijing to let them know he was safe. Old Master Zhuang and Dean Chen should be able to rest assured knowing they were together.
“We didn’t know about this. My grandfather and I came back to our hometown for a visit. We didn’t expect to run into you.”
Before the company holiday, Li Xiyue was busy with many things, so she didn't make plans with Zhuang Le, assuming she was staying at the Chen family's house. She didn't expect her to come to Jiangsu Province.
"Sister, I haven't had a proper chance to explore Jiangsu Province yet. I'll stay a few more days and go back with you," Zhuang Le said.
Li Xiyue glanced at her grandfather and said, "You should go back with Brother Lu first. I'm afraid my grandmaster and Uncle Chen will worry about your safety."
How can we dig for treasure with her by our side?
"What's there to worry about when I'm with you guys?" Zhuang Le waved his hand at Lu Feng. "Brother Lu, you go back first, I'll stay and play for a few more days."
"Anyway, Ma Zi and the others went back first, and I don't have anything urgent to do, so I'll stay with you for a few more days." Lu Feng was worried about leaving her here alone.
She's incredibly audacious; if she causes trouble, it will implicate Li Xiyue and her grandson.
He had to stay and watch over her.
So the two of them canceled their tickets and stayed in Jiangsu Province with Li Xiyue and Liao Qingshan.
The grandfather and grandson were somewhat helpless and could only go out at night after the children had fallen asleep.
In the dead of night, the grandfather and grandson quietly went out, took the tools they had prepared during the day, and began digging for treasure.
The first house was a two-courtyard siheyuan (traditional courtyard house).
It was a house that Liao Qingshan had purchased himself. It was slightly smaller than a two-courtyard house in Beijing. The grandfather and grandson sneaked into the house.
"Grandpa, where is he buried?" Li Xiyue asked in a low voice.
Both grandfather and grandson were cautious people and dared not use flashlights for fear of being discovered.
Even though it was a cold winter night, it's always better to be safe than sorry.
Liao Qingshan pointed and said, "Dig under the osmanthus tree in the yard."
They dug a meter deep before finding anything. Li Xiyue complained, "Grandpa, you buried it too deep."
“It’s not safe if we don’t bury it deeper.” Liao Qingshan’s old eyes gleamed. “Take it out.”
The grandfather and grandson carried out a square wooden box wrapped in newspaper, unwrapping the newspaper layer by layer. There was a lock on the box.
"Where's the key?" Li Xiyue asked, wiping her sweat.
Liao Qingshan was dumbfounded. "I don't know where I lost the key."
Li Xiyue's lips twitched. "Then, break the lock?"
"Smash it."
Liao Qingshan was even more curious about what was in the box than Li Xiyue.
With one swing of the pickaxe, he smashed the lock and eagerly opened the chest...
The moonlight shone down, and the contents of the box gleamed brightly.
The entire trunk was filled with jewelry, and every piece was of the highest quality.
Li Xiyue had seen many fine things and immediately recognized their value. She showed just the right amount of surprise and said, "Grandpa, so many jewels! We're rich!"
"What's so special about this?" Liao Qingshan gave his granddaughter a look that said, "You've never seen anything like this before."
