Lu Jingchuan smiled when he heard this and asked, "Uncle, how far is it?"
"It's still about ten minutes' walk."
Gong Chengjun saw that his niece was a little tired and said, "Rest a little longer. There's no need to rush."
Gong Linglong knew that her mother had told her uncle about the space, so she picked fresh pears from the space, one for each of them, and looked at her uncle with a smile, "Uncle, try my magic."
Gong Chengjun accepted the pear, smiled and caressed her hair lovingly, "Linglong is the most blessed of the Gong family, but also shoulders the greatest responsibility. We will help you in the future, and we will work together to continue the family legacy."
"Well, let's work together."
Gong Linglong has now completely let go of her past life, and her body and soul have completely merged with this body.
Here she has a mother who loves her, a man who loves her, and a child who is about to be born to continue her bloodline.
My grandparents are alive and well, my parents-in-law are in good health, and I am surrounded by relatives and friends who live in harmony with me.
This kind of life is very happy and was an unattainable dream in the previous life.
Now she cherishes it and feels very fortunate.
After eating the pears on the spot and taking a short rest for ten minutes, the group continued to walk up, and Lu Jingchuan held her hand and slowly followed.
After arriving at the secret entrance, Gong Chengjun asked them to rest at the door while he went to activate the mechanism nearby.
After the secret door opened, Gong Chengjun turned on his flashlight and entered the dim passage, instructing, "Wantang, follow me. Linglong will go in the middle, and Jingchuan will be the last one. Follow me closely, and don't get separated by forks in the road. Don't touch the stones on the wall casually, as this may trigger the trap."
"good."
The passage was dark, damp, and reeked of earth. Gong Linglong put on a mask and gave each of them one. She asked, "Uncle, how long will it take?"
"About twenty minutes, can you hold on?" Gong Chengjun was concerned about her health.
"Sure, I'm fine."
Although this passage is dark and unventilated, fortunately there is no obstruction and there is no need to climb hills and cross pits like before. The ground is quite flat and easy to walk on, and you don't feel tired even if you walk slowly.
The passages here are complicated, with many forks and turns. If Gong Chengjun hadn't led the way, they would definitely be stuck in the maze and unable to get out.
After walking for about twenty minutes, the group stopped in the heart of the deep mountains. Gong Chengjun illuminated the surroundings with a flashlight, took out the cowhide blueprint his father had given him, confirmed the mechanism button, and asked Lu Jingchuan to take care of the mother and daughter. He followed the steps to open the valve mechanism.
"Clang...Clang...Clang..."
The mechanism has not been turned on for many years. After it was turned on today, the surrounding mountains shook slightly, and dirt and dust fell down.
Fortunately, it only shook for four or five seconds before stopping.
When the stone door on the wall opened, Gong Chengjun went in to investigate first. "You guys wait outside for a moment. I'll come in after I confirm it's safe."
"Brother (uncle), be careful."
The inside of the cave was pitch black, and you couldn't see your fingers when you stretched out your hand. The whole thing was illuminated by the flashlights in their hands.
Several flashlights shone into the cave. Seeing the piles of boxes, Gong Linglong was surprised: "We are going to get rich."
Seeing the treasure that was worth enough to rival a country, Gong Linglong also understood the jealousy and greed of Zheng Furen and Xue Haihui. Faced with such huge wealth, ordinary people could not resist the temptation.
"Wantang, it's safe inside, please come in."
Gong Chengjun's shouts were heard from inside the cave, and Gong Wantang and the others immediately went in with flashlights to meet him.
"Linglong, my uncle doesn't know the exact number of collections. This place has been in disrepair for a long time, and the roof of the cave may not be stable. We shouldn't stay for long. Once we have collected everything, we can leave and come back to count the number when we have time."
Gong Linglong nodded and replied, "Okay."
She was responsible for performing the "magic trick" to sweep away everything, while everyone else just smiled and looked around to make sure nothing was missed.
After collecting all the things, the group returned along the same route, speeding up a little on the way back.
After exiting the passage, Gong Chengjun breathed a sigh of relief and made another arrangement: "Jingchuan, those people outside, go make some noise and lure them in here."
Zheng Furen has spent twenty years searching for the person, and now his neck is in the earth. He must let the other party die with his eyes closed.
"The people Xue Haihui brought home to kill my mother weren't just ordinary thugs; they were definitely the Zheng family's carefully trained lackeys. Even now, all the members of the Zheng family are imprisoned, yet they continue to do their jobs well. Helpers like these must be eliminated; keeping them around would be a serious threat."
Lu Jingchuan nodded and said, "Okay, you guys rest nearby. I'll come over and join you when I'm done."
"Brother Jing, be careful." Gong Linglong reminded him.
"Don't worry."
This is a small matter for Lu Jingchuan.
After he left, Gong Linglong took out some water and everyone drank some water and rested under the shady tree.
Lu Jingchuan was very efficient and returned in less than twenty minutes. After communicating with Gong Chengjun, he deliberately left some clues and traces at the entrance.
After finishing, Gong Chengjun said: "Let's go home."
The day after they left, Zheng Furen's men discovered clues and successfully found the entrance to the treasure trove. They then urgently dispatched personnel to provide support and also passed accurate information to Zheng Furen through their channels.
Zheng Furen, who received the "good news", was not happy at this time, but was anxious instead.
He had been searching for the treasure for twenty years but couldn't find it. But just as he was caught, the treasure was discovered.
This is too strange, too coincidental.
He was basically certain that this was a trap set by Gong Chengjun. He deliberately used the treasure trove to lure his men there, and then destroyed his last hope with one blow.
He knew that he had been captured and there was no hope for him to escape, but there was still hope for the descendants of the Zheng family. As long as they were alive, with the support and help of the group of people he had trained, they would be able to avenge him in the future, and the Zheng family would still have a chance to rise again.
But now...
Zheng Furen was so anxious that he vomited blood in the detention center. He tried his best but failed to send any message. His hair turned white overnight due to anxiety.
It was already noon when Gong Linglong and the others returned to the city. Lu Jingchuan drove to the state-owned restaurant and took them to eat first.
After dinner, Gong Chengjun took them to a Chinese overseas store to shop. His niece would be returning to Seoul in two days and winter was coming soon, so he took them to buy clothes.
Gong Chengjun was very generous and bought two sets of warm cotton jackets and trousers for each of the three of them, as well as scarves, hats and gloves. He also bought thick and warm coats and leather boots for the two elders of the Han family.
Gong Chengjun was busy shopping, Gong Wantang and Lu Jingchuan were responsible for the hard work of carrying things, and Gong Linglong was eating the whole time, eating all kinds of chocolates and foreign candies and snacks, stuffing them into her mouth non-stop, which made the salesperson envious.
After they finished shopping, they were ready to go back. Gong Chengjun arranged, "Wantang, you and Linglong wait here. Jingchuan and I will put the things in the car first and drive over here to pick you up."
"good."
