Chapter 110: Li Huanhuan's Treasure

  The security guard took us directly to the vault of the Oriental Bank, where a bank director was waiting for us outside. Seeing our arrival, the director immediately asked: "Are you the owner of safe deposit box 1313?"

  I shook my head and smiled: "I'm just here to pick up something for someone else."

  The bank's director didn't ask any more questions and simply said: "Please follow me, the 1313 safe deposit box is just ahead."

  I and Chen Jing followed the director into a very large safe deposit vault and soon found the 13th cabinet in row 13.

  At this time, the bank's director said to us: "You go ahead, I'll wait for you outside."

  I nodded slightly, watching the bank's director leave. Chen Jing took a step forward and whispered: "There are surveillance cameras all around us, let's get the things quickly and leave here as soon as possible. I'm worried that if we stay for too long, our actions will be exposed."

  I feel like we're fugitives, having to be careful everywhere, it's really annoying. But I also have to admit that Chen Jing made sense. So I quickly stepped forward and entered the password, opening this number thirteen safe deposit box.

  Chen Jing never looked at what was inside the safe I opened, but instead stared at those surveillance cameras.

  I was startled at the first moment, because there was a pistol in the safe. This is a very abnormal thing, how could Li Huanhuan put a pistol in the safe? Was she not afraid that after the bank staff found out, they would directly call the police and arrest her? Or would the bank refuse her application for the safe deposit box?

  I picked up the gun with suspicion, only to find that it was a fake gun, made of plastic. However, its shape and color were very realistic, looking just like the real thing.

  Chen Jing didn't turn around until then and saw the gun in my hand. She looked just as surprised and puzzled as I did.

  I smiled and explained: "It's fake, made of plastic."

  Chen Jing asked: "Why would Huanhuan put a fake gun in the bank's safe deposit box? Is there some kind of hidden meaning?"

  I shook my head and said, "This is just a symbol. What she wants to give us is actually the meaning that this gun represents... Let's go, I already understand her true intention."

  Chen Jing said in confusion: "So it seems that I am even more confused. Are you hiding something from me, so I don't understand what's going on?"

  I smiled and said: "Don't worry, you'll understand. We can go home now, and the rest of the things I will tell you one by one after we get home."

  Chen Jing didn't ask more questions and turned around to leave the bank...

  My hometown is in a very remote mountainous area, so Chen Jing and I bought some things in a small town not far from my home to use after we get back.

  Taking advantage of buying things, I whispered to Chen Jing: "Later we'll go somewhere... there's something about Huanhuan sister..."

  Chen Jing looked at me with a puzzled face and didn't ask anything, but followed me to the outside of a very secluded farmhouse.

  This place is less than a kilometer away from the small town, but it's already a typical rural area. I brought Chen Jing here because this was where we hid the money and weapons we took from the Wanlong Association's secret base last time.

  I found the key in a pile of junk outside the farmhouse, opened the old-fashioned lock and pushed open the door to be hit by a strong musty smell. Houses that have been uninhabited for a long time are probably all like this.

  Chen Jing slightly furrowed her brow and said: "What did you bring me here for?"

  I smiled and walked into the house first, turning on the light and saying in a low voice: "This is a farmhouse that I and Huanhuan sister bought. There are some things we left behind inside. It's likely that what Huanhuan sister wants to give me this time is also placed there."

  Chen Jing listened to my explanation and immediately understood the ins and outs of the matter, without asking any more questions.

  I brought her to the basement of this house, looking at the empty basement, and said to Chen Jing: "Test you, there is another hidden door here that can lead to where we hide things. Can you find the hidden door?"

  Chen Jing immediately went forward to take a closer look, but soon said: "You're deceiving people, where is this secret door? It's made to seem like an adventure, but actually there's nothing."

  I smiled and took a step forward, pulling Chen Jing back one step, saying: "Why don't you look at your feet?"

  Chen Jing lowered her head and immediately called out: "I know, so the hidden door is at the bottom... There's a small button here, which should be the switch for the hidden door?"

  I nodded and pressed the button, and a very hidden secret door immediately appeared on the ground in the basement: "This house was built by a very timid person before, and an underground bunker was built for refuge from war or disaster when it was built. Later, that person still didn't feel at ease and built another underground room under the original one. Huanhuan sister and I found this place to hide some important things and bought it at a high price."

  Chen Jing pouted: "So it's your and Li Huanhuan's private secret room, no wonder you've made it so hidden!" Paused for a moment: "Then aren't you afraid that the original owner will come back and take away your things? He knows all the secrets here."

  I laughed: "That person was scared away by the recent turmoil in our country and left early. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sold us this house. Besides, we changed all the door locks at the first time and installed some security facilities. Even if it were the original owner, they couldn't easily enter here, let alone take our things."

  Chen Jing looked at the electronic password lock on the hidden door and said: "Is this the one you just installed? It looks very advanced, I wonder what the password is?"

  I pressed the password with my hand and said, "After today, this place will be useless. I'll take away everything here and won't use this place as our secret stash anymore."

  Chen Jing nodded: "So what's the point of all this? I know Huanhuan has made a lot of money from business in recent years, but is it necessary to do it like this? Can't you just put the money directly into the bank?"

  "After some thought, I said: "The things that Huanhuan Jie put in here must be very important, otherwise she wouldn't have asked me to come and get them. And she wouldn't have set up such a complicated password, making us go around in such a big circle.""

  As we spoke, I pushed open the door of the underground secret room and pulled Chen Jing down from the sloping stairs.

  We soon reached the end and came to a small square secret room. It had been a long time since anyone had come here, so the air was not very good. I turned on the ventilation fan, and it wasn't until after a while that I felt a little better.

  Chen Jing didn't notice these, looking at the large and small boxes in this less than twenty square meters secret room, exclaimed: "So many things? Our car can't hold so much."

  I took a glance at the large and small boxes here: "Only a few boxes are our things, the rest are left by the previous owner. Most of the things in these boxes are just some rice, flour, vegetables and other daily necessities, we don't need to bother with them."

  Chen Jing let out an "oh" and glanced at the boxes, suddenly pointing to one of them and saying: "This box is where you put things, and this one too..."

  I looked at her confident face and couldn't help but ask: "How can you be so sure? Have you seen something?"

  Chen Jing smiled and said, "What's the big deal? The other boxes are all dusty, but these two are clean. Anyone who isn't an idiot can tell that you've put something in these two boxes."

  I nodded: "You're very meticulous, what you said is absolutely right."

  Chen Jing smiled and said: "Then can I open it and take a look? What treasure is inside this box?"

  I gestured for her to open it and take a look. So Chen Jing opened one of the boxes, then exclaimed in surprise: "What's this?"

  I couldn't help but laugh as I looked at them: "These are some old-fashioned weapons, all firearms. We had them in the secret base of the Wanlong Association before and brought some back with us. Now they're all rusty, doesn't look like they can be used anymore."

  Chen Jing searched carefully in the box for a while and finally said: "It really can't be used, what a pity! We are short of weapons now."

  I remembered that I and Li Huanhuan had brought back some weapons and hidden them at home, those weapons should still be usable, so I said to Chen Jing: "My family should still have some usable weapons, after going back home, I will find them for you."

  Chen Jing nodded: "Okay then. Let's take another look at that box, I'm really curious about what Huan sister wants you to bring back!"

  I smiled and opened another trunk, and at a glance I saw a smaller leather suitcase inside. The suitcase was password-locked, and I tried to enter the four-letter code on the key, and it opened with a click.

  Chen Jing stared at the box, and when I opened it, she exclaimed in surprise: "It's all pigeon blood rubies! I thought they were something extraordinary!"

  I smiled and said: "Pigeon blood rubies are very good treasures, like these big ones, they're worth a city. How come you don't appreciate them?"

  "Believe me, these are all mediocre and useless. What's the point? It would be better to give us a few laser guns instead!"

  "I smiled wryly: 'Laser gun? That's a state-level top secret under national protection. How could Huanhuan possibly get her hands on it?'"

  Chen Jing smiled slightly: "That's also true... There are probably over a hundred pigeon blood rubies here, really not cheap at all."

  I looked at the package of pigeon blood rubies inside the trunk and was also puzzled: "The things that Huanhuan sister went to great lengths to have us come over to get, won't it just be these gems? Let's take a look, maybe there are other things in the other trunks."

  Chen Jing smiled and helped me start rummaging through the boxes, opening one by one all the boxes in this underground secret room for examination.

  After a while of busy searching, I finally found a small jewelry box in an unremarkable rice container. This was not normal at all - a jewelry box inside the rice, it must have been used to store something else. So Chen Jing and I hastily opened it, both of us wanting to quickly find what Li Huanhuan wanted to give me.

  The box is not big, but there are many things inside. Some small notes, a very large diamond ring, and a pearl necklace.

  I handed the ring and necklace over to Chen Jing, then picked up those small pieces of paper and began to read them one by one.

  Ten minutes later, I finally understood what Li Huanhuan meant. The note here told me what Li Huanhuan wanted me to bring back home!

  Following Li Huanhuan's instructions, I didn't say much to Chen Jing and just pulled her back to the basement before leaving the house. Of course, I still had those pigeon blood rubies with me, after all they were Li Huanhuan's things.

  What we are looking for is not here at all. This place is just a transit station, a confusing place set up by Li Huanhuan to confuse others.

  And now I also know that the thing Li Huanhuan was going to give me is actually the original liquid of the legendary lost gene agent, the most primitive gene agent.

  No wonder Li Huanhuan was so cautious and set up so many obstacles. This gene medicine's original liquid is not ordinary, it's indeed worth doing so.

  But I immediately thought of a problem, that is, my strength suddenly increased a lot, which should not be the effect of the gene agent. Because the gene agent was still in Li Huanhuan's hand, the gene agent we had contact with before should not be the real gene agent - or it was diluted... As for what this is all about, I'm not clear now either.

  Chen Jing is a very clever girl, so when I took her away, she didn't ask much. It wasn't until I brought her to a small hotel that she couldn't help but say: "Are we going to stay here for the night?"

  I shook my head and pointed at the person sleeping in the hotel lobby to Chen Jing: "We are here to find their manager."

  Chen Jing's face was full of puzzlement, but she didn't say a word.

  I walked into the lobby of the small hotel and said to the dozing service staff: "Excuse me, I am..."

  Before I could finish speaking, the waiter raised his head and said listlessly: "The accommodation is on the second floor. It's too late for dinner, the chef has gone off duty."

  I forced a smile and said to the impatient waiter, "I'm a friend of Li Huanhuan. Last time we stored some things here, and we're here to pick them up."

  The waiter blinked and said: "What Li Huanhuan, I don't know..."

  "I was taken aback for a moment: 'Then go call your manager, she'll know who I am.'"

  The waiter was taken aback by what I said and reluctantly replied, "Well, wait then, I'll go call our manager."

  Chen Jing and I had no choice but to wait in the lobby, as it was already very late. The waiter's bad attitude could also be understood, so we didn't get angry either.

  After waiting for ten minutes, the waitress finally came down. She looked at me and said: "The manager said you have to go up alone, that thing is too important, only you or Miss Li Huanhuan can get it personally."

  I turned around and looked at Chen Jing, just about to explain, when Chen Jing smiled and said: "You go ahead, I'll wait for you here."

  I smiled slightly and didn't say much, feeling Chen Jing's thoughtfulness made me happy, a kind of unprecedented feeling also surged up in my heart at the same time.

  Following the waiter to the third floor of the small hotel, I saw a woman in pajamas waiting for me in the corridor.

  I know this person, he is the manager of this hotel, surnamed Li. I went forward and said: "Manager Li, sorry to disturb you at midnight."

  Manager Li smiled professionally: "Nothing, it's what should be. Please follow me, your things are in the safe of our hotel."

  I nodded and followed her directly to the top floor of the hotel. This is the safe deposit box of this hotel, where some people also store valuable things from time to time. Of course, the hotel will charge a high fee for this service.

  I went straight to the safe where Li Huanhuan and I had stored our things, entered the password, opened the safe, and took out a large suitcase from inside.

  Manager Li of the hotel didn't say a word from start to finish, and it wasn't until I had taken my things that she smiled and said: "Thank you for your patronage! Hope to serve you again next time."

  "I smiled and said: 'Thank you!' Then I turned around and went downstairs, coming to Chen Jing's side."

  Chen Jing was looking at the hotel's decorations when she saw me coming down and hurriedly came up to me: "So fast already got it?"

  I nodded and pulled Chen Jing to walk outside, all the way without stopping.
