Planned Love

"No, we'll follow his schedule." By now, he's already seeing their boss, the master Lin Sexi had mentioned. Tai Ziqian said.    

Tai Ziqian opened the wardrobe door and led me into the cloakroom. When we reached the innermost area, he pointed to one of the completely closed doors and said to me, "Shubei, do you see anything on the door?"    

The door was smooth and flat, without a handle or even a pattern. I looked at it closely and shook my head blankly.    

Tai Ziqian smiled and then said, "Pay attention to the texture on the door. Do you see it in the middle? It's a little different."    

Tai Ziqian pulled me a little further away. I looked carefully and suddenly noticed that the texture in the middle of the door was indeed very unusual. It seemed to be a kind of special symbol.    

However, if one didn't pay close attention, one wouldn't be able to see it at all.    

"What is this? How did you find out? " I asked Tai Ziqian.    

"It was thanks to my father that I now know that what Wu was really looking for from my father was not finance and how to do business. Doing business is just a front for him. What he really wants to know is a deep and profound study called mechanical learning. " Tai Ziqian said.    

I was stunned. "Is your father an expert on this?"    

Tai Ziqian nodded. "Father has always been interested in many lost knowledge in ancient times. He spent half his life studying all kinds of strange knowledge, of which he has the most thorough interest in mechanical research. I used to be with him when I was a kid, and he would tell me many of the secrets. Furthermore, the mechanisms that my father set up all have their own unique symbols. "This symbol, other than Father, only I can see it."    

"According to your idea, this mechanism was specially designed by Ling Yue to deal with your father? Was it used to hide some treasures? " I asked.    

"Yes!" That should be right, no wonder my father retired to the temple deep in the mountains, no wonder Ling Yue often visited him on the mountains. This mechanism was set up by my father, so I immediately understood the trick. Although I'm not good at setting up traps, I know how to remove the traps set up by my father. "Because the symbol on it is a hint." Tai Ziqian said.    

The more I listened, the more I could feel the profundity of it. It was not something ordinary people could understand.    

I said, "But why did Ling Yue set up the traps? Did he want to hide these things? Lin Sexi previously said that the Luminous Pearl belonged to someone from the Sheng Family, so what's going on? "    

"I reckon that Ling Yue had already accumulated a lot of wealth over the years and already had his own selfish thoughts. He didn't want to work for his master anymore, so he started to be full of selfish thoughts. These treasures, were all part of the Sheng Family. I heard my mother say that during her childhood, my grandfather had obtained a Night Pearl. She and my uncle both saw it once, and then my grandfather never took it out again. At that time, my grandfather was very fond of collecting many treasures, but after he passed away, none of them could be found. I never thought that these treasures would end up in the hands of Ling Yue, and the mechanism was set up by my father. If it were not for the fact that I accidentally stumbled in this time, how would I have known such a shocking secret? " Tai Ziqian sighed.    

He pointed at the special pattern on the door and drew a few lines. Then, the door suddenly split into two parts, and a password design appeared. Tai Ziqian quickly pressed a string of numbers, and the wardrobe behind us suddenly moved away.    

So it turned out that the Luminous Pearl was only the tip of the iceberg. The treasure concealed behind this wardrobe was far more than just a Luminous Pearl!    

Inside were piles of gold bars, pearls of various sizes piled up on the ground like colored balls in a children's playground. In addition, there were also many calligraphy and paintings, ancient books, and even bronze statues that looked like chickens. There were also some porcelain and jade buddhas.    

My mouth gaped open in shock. I couldn't close it for a long time!    

This, this was simply the legendary "Gathering Pellet"!    

I don't dare to imagine that in modern society, I could see so many treasures at the same time!    

Tai Ziqian walked up to the bronze statue with the chicken head. He wanted to touch it, but he didn't dare. He took two steps back and bowed deeply towards the bronze statue.    

"What is this chicken?" I asked blankly as I walked over.    

"This is not a little chicken, this is one of the legendary Twelve Birds of Life. It is a chicken head, and its value is priceless. There is only one in the entire world." This treasure was something that Grandpa was very proud of. I never thought that Ling Yue, this great bandit, would actually move all the treasures here! " As Tai Ziqian spoke, he suddenly became excited.    

"These are your grandfather's? Who is your grandfather? Didn't they say it's from Sheng Family? " I couldn't help but ask.    

"My grandfather, was Sheng Yun's grandfather, and was also the creator of Shengshi Group. However, I think what he is most proud of is not the creation of the Golden Age, but the use of so many treasures. " Ling Yue said.    

So that's how it is. I immediately understood: "But how did Ling Yue do it? I heard Lin Sexi say that she's been hiding in Sheng Yun's house for over a year and hasn't found any of these treasures. "    

"I don't know. No one knows where my grandfather's treasures are hidden. I don't think even Sheng Yun knows." We all thought that Ling Yue and Lin Sexi's goal was to make the world prosperous, but we were wrong. Their real goal was to get these things. However, in the end, it was taken away by Ling Yue. I don't think my father knew that the mechanism he designed was for this purpose. If he knew, he wouldn't stand idly by. " Tai Ziqian said.    

Looking at the mountain of treasures on the floor, I couldn't help but think of Ling Yue's pretty face. No wonder he mentioned his fortune more than once, no wonder he said we would have an unending supply of money, no wonder he got up every morning at four or five o'clock and wandered around the cloakroom for an hour. I thought he was picking out clothes for me.    

"This is unbelievable! I can't believe it's so bizarre …" I mumbled, completely dumbfounded. I asked Tai Ziqian, "Then, what should we do next?"    

"First, remain unmoved. Put the Night Pearl in. Since we haven't found the safest place to deal with these treasures, we might as well leave them here. It was no wonder why Ling Yue was so anxious all the time. No one would be able to remain calm after obtaining so many treasures. Any one of these items would cause a commotion in the collectibles. " Tai Ziqian muttered.    

"But what if Ling Yue finds out that we already know?" "No," I said.    

"He can't discover it because he can't possibly know it. I also understand the mysteries of mechanical knowledge. My father was well in the mountains, and he was at ease if he didn't hear anything about it. He won't know that we already know so many secrets. Next, you have to play Lin Sexi's role. " Tai Ziqian said.    

"What do I do? Come on, I'm so nervous. " I said quickly.    

"Don't worry, I believe you can do it." Tai Ziqian put his hands on my shoulders, looked at me and said calmly, "Shubei, listen carefully."    

I nodded my head heavily. "Whatever you want me to do, I'll listen to you."    

"This is related to the life and death of both you and me, as well as the life and death of Sheng Yun and the Sheng family, including all of us. Once this secret was exposed, the Hangcheng would inevitably cause a huge commotion. Therefore, none of us are allowed to leak the news regarding these treasures. We must remember this, that is the first point. " Tai Ziqian said.    

I nodded again.    

"I've studied Lin Sexi's pronunciation. As long as you raise your voice a little, you won't be able to be heard by Ling Yue because of your arrogant and domineering attitude. "Come, Shubei, give it a try." Tai Ziqian said to me.    

I have also heard Lin Sexi's voice. I tried to adjust it a few times, but finally Tai Ziqian said: "Yes! That's the tune! "Remember to maintain it!"    

"Good!" I got it! " I imitated Lin Sexi's voice.    

Tai Ziqian nodded and showed a trace of a smile. He said, "You are still as smart as you were. Next, you have to call Ling Yue and tell her Xu Shubei was taken away by Aa Nan Aa Bei. Don't even mention being taken away by Sheng Yun, just say that it was taken away by his master. I learned from Lin Sexi that Ling Yue and their master had accumulated a lot of conflicts, and they were basically ready to explode at any moment. So, we started this conflict, and let them start a civil war. "    

"Good, good, this is good!" I said, "And then?"    

"Then you can use Lin Sexi's identity to sneak out. I can't go out, so you can only come. Find Sheng Yun as fast as you can, tell him everything, including the treasures, and then explain the situation here. This was Ling Yue's map. The building was very dangerous. There was a room full of explosives. If anything happened, Ling Yue would directly detonate the entire building, and by then, almost all the treasures would be destroyed. But I don't know where it is. I fumbled for the map and wrote down everything I know. " Tai Ziqian said.    

I nodded my head solemnly. Then, Tai Ziqian closed the secret room and brought me back to my bedroom. He washed the mask with a towel, sterilized it, wiped it clean, and put it solemnly on my face.    

Tai Ziqian held my shoulder and said, "Shubei, we can only fight on our backs. At the moment, Sheng Yun's legs are in danger, all he can do is to provide external assistance, and you and I are the key to winning this battle. The most important person is you. Therefore, you must be careful! Remember my words, once something goes wrong, if anything happens, don't look for me. You will run as far as you can! Do you know? "    

"Ziqian, in the past, you must have really loved me, right? I could see it in your eyes just now. " "No," I said.    

Tai Ziqian's face reddened. He turned around and smiled bitterly, "No, I no longer have the qualification to love you. However, I promised you that I would protect you for the rest of my life. I am willing to be your angel and stand guard by your side for the rest of my life. "
