Yutingxuan has been vacant since the old man passed away.
The servants and gardeners were also dismissed by Lu Zhinian, and the huge garden was now turned into a desolate and empty house.
It was miserable and cold, with dead leaves everywhere.
Thick dust accumulated everywhere in the house, and even the air was mixed with a thick smell of dust.
Huo Yunchen stood in the hall for a while, looking very bad.
Bai Qingqing thought about going over to comfort him, but Huo Yunchen spoke first before he could speak.
"It's okay, as long as I'm here, this place will definitely become prosperous and glorious again."
After saying that, he pursed his lips and smiled, took a step forward, took her hand, and walked toward the old man's study.
Bai Qingqing felt comforted and fully expected to gain something.
The study door was open, and the room was in a mess.
The bookshelf was pushed to the ground, the safe was blown open, and even a big hole was smashed into the wall.
It is conceivable that Lu Zhinian must have come over to search and rob in anger.
Judging from the extent of the damage at the scene, he probably gained nothing.
Huo Yunchen and Bai glanced at each other gently, and then began to search for clues that Lu Zhinian had missed in the ruins.
Liu Mo and Liu Yu also started searching carefully.
But after searching for a long time, I still found nothing.
Bai Qingqing looked up at Huo Yunchen's expression with some disappointment, and muttered in a low voice: "Most people think that valuable things must be placed in the safe in the study, so this place became the target of Lu Zhinian's search, but the old man is very Maybe it's the other way around. The safe in the study is just a cover-up, and maybe the thing isn't there."
Huo Yunchen raised his eyes and nodded in agreement, then slowly stood up from the ground.
"If grandpa didn't hide things here, where would he hide them?"
Huo Yunchen's eyebrows were downcast, and he looked out of the study thoughtfully.
As if he suddenly thought of something, he walked out of the study, walked through the corridor, passed the garden, and went to the east courtyard.
The east courtyard is an ancestral hall, where ancestors of the Huo family are enshrined.
Grandpa would offer them incense on every first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year.
Usually, apart from eating and sleeping, this is also my favorite place to stay.
Grandpa said that he feels at ease here and feels that he has been blessed by his ancestors.
When Huo Yunchen saw the spiritual tablets of dozens of ancestors, his mind flashed back to the scene when his grandfather taught him a lesson when he was a child.
When he refused to train or failed to get 100 points in his studies, grandpa always made him kneel in front of everyone and receive the whipping.
At that time, I hated and feared my grandfather.
Now I suddenly feel that what I am today is not actually talent, but my grandfather's teaching.
Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly fell on the black tiger skin whip that had hit him countless times.
With mixed feelings in my heart, I slowly approached.
He reached out and picked up the whip, holding it carefully in his hand.
This whip was his childhood nightmare, and when he touched it now, he could still feel the coldness.
The hand holding the handle unconsciously tightened its grip, and unexpectedly touched the mechanism on the handle.
As the red light on the handle kept flashing, the wall with Wang Xizhi's calligraphy written on it behind the memorial tablet in the Ancestor Hall suddenly rose up. Huo Yunchen turned around and looked at it blankly.
The wall rose, and a huge safety door made of steel appeared inside.
Bai Qingqing, Liu Mo and the others came over and saw that Huo Yunchen had turned on the mechanism. They were so surprised that they ran towards the door quickly.
"It turns out that the real safe is here. The old man is really prescient."
Liu Mo was amazed and stretched out his hand to touch the cold steel door.
Bai Qingqing carefully studied the rotating combination lock, and Huo Yunchen quickly walked over.
Pointing his watch at the rotary combination lock, Huo Yunchen already had a string of code numbers in his mind.
He handed the watch to Bai Qingqing and calmly began to try the password.
LEO's English name plus birthday plus the corresponding numbers on the hour and minute hands should be like this.
With a click, the combination lock opened effortlessly.
"opened?"
Bai Qingqing asked Huo Yunchen for confirmation in surprise.
Huo Yunchen did not respond to her, but a flash of surprise also flashed in his eyes.
With a twist of his hand, the door opened.
Huo Yunchen pursed his lips and smiled happily.
Liu Mo was so excited that he clapped his hands repeatedly.
"It's open, it's really open. Sir, you are so awesome. This safe is just for you."
Hearing these words, Huo Yunchen felt an inexplicable sadness.
Liu Mo walked in first, and the dazzling light in front of him made Liu Mo almost unable to open his eyes.
Suppose that the big house was filled with gold bricks, stacked one on top of another, until they were as high as a hill.
"Oh my god, the old man actually left a mountain for my husband. This is truly a mountain of gold. I admire Mr. Huo so much."
Liu Yu's eyes were no longer full, so he picked up the gold brick and put it to his mouth in amazement and bit it.
Ah, I almost broke my tooth.
"Husband, how many hundreds of millions is this worth?"
When Liu Mo heard his wife asking him, he immediately raised one hand. After thinking about it, he thought it was not enough and raised two more hands.
"One billion?"
Liu Mo shook his head.
"Ten billion?"
Liu Mo also shook his head.
"Fifty billion?"
"Oh, why are you so stupid? Such a huge gold mountain is worth at least hundreds of billions at the current price of gold."
The couple was very excited and laughed from ear to ear while holding the gold bricks.
"Now who dares to bully our Yunqing Group, let's use this gold nugget to smash the doors of the four major banks."
Liu Mo said very relievedly, and Liu Yu followed suit.
Huo Yunchen and Bai Qingqing looked at each other and pursed their lips and smiled. Bai Qingqing saw at a glance a mahogany box placed on the top of the pile of gold.
He broke free from Huo Yunchen's hand, ran over, took the box off and handed it to Huo Yunchen's hand.
"This should be the real will."
Bai Qingqing said guessingly, looking expectantly at Huo Yunchen opening the box.
Sure enough, it was a will and a letter.
On the day Huo Yunchen was born, Mr. Huo designed and built such a secret room in this ancestral house.
Every year on Huo Yunchen's birthday, he would save a batch of gold in it, because only gold remains unchanged.
It's like his love for this grandson will never change.
In fact, the will had been made long ago, when Huo Yunchen was eighteen years old.
All the inheritance in the hands of the old man belonged to Huo Yunchen, and not even Huo Zhien got half of it.
It can be seen how much hope the old man has placed on Huo Yunchen.
After Huo Yunchen finished reading the first half of the letter, his eyes were blurred with tears, and he was so excited that he couldn't read any more.
Bai gently reached out and held his hand, took the letter from his hand and read on.
"Yun Chen, you broke off the relationship with grandpa because of a woman. Grandpa is angry with you, but grandpa is proud of you. Even without grandpa's protection, you can still stand alone and do what no one can do. My child, grandpa is wrong. , Grandpa should not impose his will on you. When you are about to die, you suddenly feel that it is a rare thing to have a deeply loved person by your side. It is a pity that Grandpa missed it, but Grandpa wants you to be happy. You like that girl so much. If that girl makes you feel happy, live a good life with her and give birth to more grandsons for our Huo family. I will leave it to you to expand our Huo family. ”
After reading this letter, Huo Yunchen was already crying so hard that he buried his head in Bai Qingqing's arms and cried like a child.
