"It's obvious that Huang Maoqiang is unwilling to accept this."

"Yes, but without Mr. Yuwen's help, he couldn't open the secret room even if he found the location, so he had to leave in the end."

Jiang Ningming, who was standing by, couldn't help but ask, "If we had gone there the night before yesterday, would we have been able to meet him and catch him?"

Liu Zhecheng nodded: "It's possible, but the house is empty and he didn't get anything. Even if he was caught, he could say that he saw you taking pictures and thought the house was going to be rebuilt, and he missed the school and wanted to take one last look.

Even if the materials of the house were used, the most he could be convicted of was burglary, but because nothing was stolen, even though burglary constituted a crime, the punishment would not be severe.

Plus, with Mr. Lu’s relationship, it’s not too difficult for Shanshan.”

Jiang Ningming was a little unwilling: "Doesn't that mean we're just letting him go? What if he retaliates later?"

Liu Zhecheng said: "This is what I want to talk about. I just visited Mr. Lu. When Huang Maoqiang was sixteen years old, his parents were in a car accident on the way to another place. It was Mr. Lu who funded his studies and also took him to inherit the family tea garden.

It can be said that the person Huang Maoqiang respected most in his life was Mr. Lu. In addition, Huang Maoqiang never got married in his life, so Mr. Lu could be said to be his last relative.

After Mr. Lu came forward, Huang Maoqiang had already sold the tea garden to Mr. Lu. From then on, he concentrated on taking care of Mr. Lu and learning how to take care of the tea garden. He probably wouldn't think about this matter again in the future.

By the way, when Huang Maoqiang was looking for the treasure, Mr. Lu actually knew about it. And later, Huang Maoqiang did many things, and Mr. Lu also knew about them. "

At this point, Liu Zhecheng recalled what Grandpa Lu had said: "I've been dealing with tea all my life. I understand not only tea, but also the people who take care of the tea trees. Maoqiang's heart has never been in the tea garden, and it always has been."

Shan Shan couldn't help but exclaimed, "Master Lu knows all about this?"

Liu Zhecheng looked at Shanshan and asked, "Do you remember what I said? The Yuwen family's prosperity was all due to Huang Maoqiang's cooperation with the Yuwen family."

That twinkle nodded: "Remember, does it matter?"

Jiang Ningming said, "No, the time is wrong. I remember that the Yuwen family was one of the first to become rich in the 1980s. According to the time, it was more than 40 years ago. And how old is Huang Maoqiang?"

Liu Zhecheng nodded: "That's right, Huang Maoqiang was 12 years old at that time. At that time, the old man of the Yuwen family was just a street vendor, going to the countryside to find those old furniture and antiques, taking advantage of people's ignorance, buying low and selling high.

It was at that time that Huang Maoqiang met Mr. Yuwen, and it was he who helped Mr. Yuwen sell all the stuff in the house.

Shanshan and Jiang Ningming both thought they had misheard: "No way? Wasn't it cleared out during the war?"

Liu Zhecheng shook his head: "Jiang Ningming has been to that secret room. Do you think that the person who can build a secret room like that is just an ordinary person? The house you see was built decades ago. Moreover, this town was also built decades later by the villagers who moved here from remote places.

In fact, during the war, the house was hidden halfway up the mountain, and with the help of sleight of hand, no one could find it.

Even during the decade of the country's most chaotic period, the house remained intact. Furthermore, because of the trap, villagers generally wouldn't enter there."

Jiang Ningming suddenly realized, "So, Huang Maoqiang believed his elders' words. Or, in other words, he had actually been there and knew it was dangerous. After hearing Old Man Yuwen say that this thing was very expensive, he came up with this idea?"

Liu Zhecheng nodded, but did not explain the specific process. Instead, he said: "The people who know their children best are of course their parents. What Huang Maoqiang did was soon known to his parents.

His parents were good friends with Mr. Lu, so they naturally didn't hide the truth from him. After the incident, Huang Maoqiang had no idea that his parents were so worried about him.

Huang Maoqiang didn't know that Mr. Lu bought that house because it was his parents' last wish and a lesson his parents wanted to teach him. His parents knew that Huang Maoqiang only had someone take away things from the house and didn't tell that person about the secret room, just hoping to make a fortune one day.

So, his parents asked Mr. Lu to buy the house. If there really was a treasure in the house, Mr. Lu would definitely hand it over to the country, considering his character. But Huang Maoqiang couldn't do that.

They just want to make Huang Maoqiang's wish come true and make him return to reality.

However, they unexpectedly passed away unexpectedly. Mr. Lu still insisted on fulfilling his parents' wish. He also deliberately carried out extensive renovations in order to find the so-called secret room in front of everyone.

This way, Huang Maoqiang will completely give up."

Jiang Ningming suddenly realized, "So, Mr. Lu did it on purpose. He opened the back door in front of Huang Maoqiang. Only to find out that it was just a passage leading to the third floor? He wanted to make Huang Maoqiang give up?"

Shanshan couldn't help but be curious: "Huang Maoqiang didn't tell the Yuwen family about the secret room. Otherwise, this secret room wouldn't have been preserved until today, right?"

Liu Zhecheng said, "Yes, it's a pity that once greed arises, it's not so easy to give up. Although Huang Maoqiang has given up on the secret room in this house, he has spent his whole life studying the secret art of mechanical devices, except for growing tea. It's a pity that this thing requires talent.

He was so busy on both sides that he couldn't take care of either. If it weren't for Mr. Lu holding him back, and the help from the Yuwen family, his tea garden would have been in decline long ago."

After saying this, Liu Zhecheng talked about the secret room: "It was also a coincidence that when Shanshan said she wanted to buy a house that day, Mr. Yuwen didn't check his phone and didn't know about this.

He didn't know until Jiang Ningming sent the picture to the group. When Shanshan sent the marked picture to the group, the reason why Mr. Yuwen contacted Huang Maosheng was to question him.

You're right. With Old Master Yuwen's ability to break the trap outside, he's sure to discover what's inside. It's just that he was so arrogant back then that after obtaining those treasures, he didn't anticipate the existence of a secret room.

As long as it goes through the Internet, Liu Zhecheng will not be able to hide it, and he will naturally be able to discover it.

Shan Shan also said, "This is also one of the amazing things about that house. Nowadays, with high technology, we can directly overlook the entire building. But back then, standing below, no matter which angle you looked at, you couldn't see that the house had a third floor. Unless you had the skill to fly up there."

Jiang Ningming felt that there was something wrong with this: "But if they go up the mountain, they will definitely be able to see it."

Liu Zhecheng shook his head. "No, I heard that the mountain behind that was later built by Mr. Lu and his men as a tea plantation. It used to be shrouded in fog. If you stood on the mountain, you couldn't even see the house there, let alone see its appearance clearly."

Jiang Ningming's hair stood on end: "This is too scary, will people dare to live here in the future?"

Liu Zhecheng laughed and said, "Why not? The house has been renovated, right? Moreover, it will be brightly lit in the future. If you are afraid, you can just open the window and see the prosperity of the town. What's there to be afraid of?"

Jiang Ningming thought so, but he couldn't help but suggest: "Shanshan, let's not renovate it so retro, but in a more modern Chinese style."

That Shanshan nodded: "Don't worry, I don't really like anything too retro. I still think many modern things are more convenient. Humanity is progressing, and we must keep pace with the times."

Liu Zhecheng also said: "By the way, everything over there has been transported away. Do we still need to keep that secret passage?"

Shanshan thought for a moment and said, "Let's keep it. When I get better in the future, I can go in and visit it. I can try to escape the secret room."

Liu Zhecheng nodded. "The matter over there has been resolved. As for what you handed over, I will give you a satisfactory answer when the time comes. At least it will definitely not be as simple as ten thousand yuan."

That Shanshan waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, I don't really care about that anyway."

She really didn't care. If she wanted any treasure, the disciples of the Arithmetic Sect knew the locations of countless imperial tombs outside. There were many more treasures there than these.

She didn’t care about money at all before, and even if she does care about it now, it’s just to ensure her own life.

It’s not true to say that she has no ambition. Her ambition is to promote tea therapy.

It's a pity that she is too weak now. Xianyun said that she will recover soon, but she doesn't know how soon.

Everything can only be left to time.

Liu Zhecheng left after explaining the problem and solving it.

Before leaving, Liu Zhecheng bought some trauma medicine from Na Shanshan. Na Shanshan also learned that most of the treatments for trauma on the market nowadays seem to be to let the wound heal on its own, and most of them only require disinfection and sutures.

Shanshan thought that after Liu Zhecheng left this time, they might see each other again after the house was built, but she didn't expect that he would come here more frequently in the future, and every time he came, he was in a mess.

The evening live broadcast continued. As soon as Shanshan opened the live broadcast, he saw the following message:

【Sparkling Curse You】X99

Looking at those emoticons, Shanshan felt like she didn’t recognize herself anymore.

After all, she has been looking in the mirror every day recently, and she thought she had already adapted to that face, but now it still feels a little strange.

Of course, not knowing each other has its advantages. At least she can remain indifferent when people send this expression.

"Good evening everyone~ As usual, I'll put the tea on the shelves first, and then I'll chat with you all after I'm done."

[Shanshan, why don’t you just put them all up for grabs and let everyone buy them. Then we can have fun playing together later~]
