"Is this child going to live with us forever?" Wu Sansheng murmured to himself as he sipped his tea. He didn't know why, but even though they had been together for a long time, he still didn't really like the child.

“Hey, Yali, don’t you miss your father?” Wu Sansheng bent down, trying to communicate with Li Cu.

Unexpectedly, Li Chu snorted coldly and turned away to continue playing with Zhuangzhuang, refusing to communicate with him.

"It's really strange. Why does Aning always leave her message with me when she contacts Lingzi? Can't she just add her on QQ or leave her phone number herself?" Wuxie complained while replying to the message.

"A-Ning? What does he want with Ling Xiao?" Wu Sansheng, who had been interrupted, heard the long-unheard name again and his attention was immediately diverted.

"That must be the number the young master left for you." Black Bear snatched Zhuangzhuang's bubble machine and kept shooting at Zhuangzhuang as he ran around.

"Who knows what she's planning to do? This woman... she never plays by the rules. Forget it, I'll just get Lingzi." That's what Wu Xie said, but in his heart he still decided to try and see if he could get anything out of her.

"Strange, what is this? A pill furnace?" Wu Xie didn't understand why A Ning would send him a picture of a pill furnace. Could it be that A Ning had given up tomb raiding and switched to Taoism?

So Wu Xie handed the photo to Wu Sansheng. Wu Sansheng glanced at it and then fell silent. He simply told Wu Xie about the notes. Wu Xie knew about the notes, but he didn't understand what the broken alchemy furnace had to do with them.

At this point, Wu Sansheng took out two photos from his wallet. They were two photos of alchemy furnaces, exactly the same as the ones A Ning had sent, except one was a full view and the other was a detail view.

"You carry all this evidence with you at all times?" Wu Xie asked, puzzled.

Wu Sansheng choked up for a moment and then said, "What does it matter? What if we need it? Well, we did."

'Buzz—' The phone rang again, and Ah Ning sent another picture. This time it wasn't a pill furnace, but a silk scroll. However, it wasn't complete; only a corner of it was visible. It looked quite old, probably dating back to the Warring States period.

Wu Xie could clearly feel that Wu Sansheng's breathing had become heavier. Could there be something wrong with this silk scroll?

“This silk scroll is the one that the foreign devil tricked your grandfather out of back then.” Wu Sansheng sighed deeply.

Wu Sansheng told Wu Xie many things from back then, a large part of which was about a guy named Jude Kao, who is now A Ning's boss.

Wu Sansheng said that when he last saw Qiu Dekao, the man was already in critical condition and needed to be put on oxygen in the hospital. He didn't know what he was still struggling with, and he also talked about some of Qiu Dekao's past deeds.

Because of politics, the church began to withdraw from the country after the liberation of Changsha. Jude Kao was unwilling to let his business here end, so he and his accomplices collected funerary objects on a large scale. Under the pretext of selling them to open a charity, they took away a large number of cultural relics at low prices. Among them was this Warring States period brocade book by Wu Laogou.

However, Wu Xie listened with some skepticism, because he felt that his grandfather was not the kind of person who would have such a kind heart. He wondered if his third uncle had embellished the story. But he didn't interrupt and continued listening.

Later, after Jude Kao absconded with the cultural relics, perhaps fearing he might offend someone, he actually reported all of the dozen or so tomb raiders. That day, Jude Kao returned home laden with his loot, while the tomb raiders who had helped him accumulate wealth were either imprisoned or shot, resulting in numerous deaths and injuries.

Fortunately, when Wu Laogou realized the situation was not good, he ran into the deep mountains and slept with the corpse for two weeks before running back to Hangzhou. However, this incident left him with a lingering trauma.
