“Thank you, Grandpa Hai.” Le Yao did not hesitate. She took the box and opened it, only to find a piece of kraft paper and an emerald key inside. “This can’t be a treasure map and a treasure vault key, right?”
“You’re right.” Hai Chao nodded. “Back then, Master Ba dominated the entire Golden Triangle and was as rich as an entire country. He spent three years secretly building a treasure vault. Only he knew its location.. ”
“Wouldn’t the people who built it know?”
“Hehe.” Hai Chao smiled. “None of them made it out alive.”
Le Yao immediately felt her scalp go numb. Why was this like ancient times? Those feudal emperors or tribal leaders liked to do this. Her grandfather was actually the same. How many people died for this?
“I really admire Elder Hai for keeping his promise,” Nangong Jue said sincerely.
Le Yao hurriedly nodded. That’s right. It had been more than 20 years. If it were anyone else, they would have long taken the treasure for themselves.
“Hehe.” Hai Chao waved his hand. “It’S not that I haven’t thought about it. After all, I’m also an ordinary person. However, when you see too many people fighting to the death for money, you’ll understand that sometimes, it’s not a good thing to have too much money. After all, LY Corporation was opened with money from Master Ba back then. The Hai family doesn’t lack money, so why should I be greedy for things that don’t belong to me?”
“I understand.” Nangong Jue nodded.
“I’m not just saying this, but I really think so. I have a son and a grandson. I don’t want to have to collect my son and grandson’s corpses when I open my eyes one day…”
“The business environment in T Country isn’t very good. Has Elder Hai ever thought of moving back?”
“I have.” Hai Chao nodded. “Because I also thought it was time to go back and look for Young Lady, I’ve been preparing for this recently. I didn’t expect you to come looking for me first.” As he spoke, he called Hai Dongyang over. “Recognize her as your master.”
“Huh?” Not only was Hai Dongyang surprised, but Le Yao was also stunned. “Master Ba was my master. In the future, Young Lady will also be your master.”
“Grandpa Hai.” Le Yao hurriedly jumped up. “Calm down.”
Hai Chao looked at Le Yao. “This is a new world and a new society. Everyone is equal. We can’t make these unfair conventions. Young Master Hai will be my brother in the future, my godbrother.”
Nangong Jue was speechless.
Did she get him another brother-in-law? He really didn’t like it.
“This…” Hai Chao hesitated.
“Grandpa Hai, you’re my grandfather from now on.” Le Yao looked at Hai Chao sincerely. “Hai Dongyang is my biological brother, okay?”
Nangong Jue was speechless.
His brother-in-law had leveled up to become his biological brother-in-law again?
“Grandpa, don’t worry. I’ll definitely protect my sister in the future.” Hai Dongyang hurriedly expressed his stance. Recognize her as his master? This term could only be used in novels.
“In that case, alright.” Hai Chao nodded. “Thank you, Young Lady.”
Le Yao waved her hand. ‘I should be the one thanking you.’
After chatting for a while, Nangong Jue and Le Yao bade farewell and left.
When they got into the car, Le Yao opened the parchment in disdain. As expected, there was a map drawn on it. However, there was no name on it. Instead, some symbols were drawn. There was a big black dot drawn in one of the places. That should be the location of the treasure.
“Ah Jue, I finally know why old man Hai is so clean.” Le Yao pointed at the map. “Because he can’t understand it at all..”
