Zhao Yu jumped out of his bed and covered his body with a blanket. His heart pounded as he looked at Cui Lizhu. “You…What do you want?” he asked her. “Don’t try anything ridiculous. I’m loyal to Miao Ying.”

Cui Lizhu turned on the light. “Stop that,” she said in a helpless tone. “You’re the ridiculous one. Boss, hurry up. Come and help me!”

Zhao Yu was curious. “What do you want me to do for you? Are you seducing me?” he asked. “I’d rather die…”

Cui Lizhu rolled her eyes at Zhao Yu, saying, “Come on, stop playing with me. Hurry up! I have something to show you!”

Zhao Yu took a deep breath. He couldn’t help but peek at Cui Lizhu’s chest. Cui Lizhu noticed and Zhao Yu looked away. “Well, to tell you the truth, my dad left some of his treasure in this villa,” she said. “I’ve found most of it! If you don’t come and help me, it’s all going to be mine!”

Zhao Yu didn’t understand. “What do you mean? Your dad left his treasure to you?” he asked. Suddenly, he remembered the Kun Dui hexagram. Kun meant a big event, and Dui meant treasure. Cui Lizhu mentioned there was treasure left by Tao Xiang, what could that be?

Zhao Yu jumped out of his bed, put his clothes on in a hurry, and followed Cui Lizhu out of the room. Only then did he notice that Cui Lizhu had changed into black sportswear and that she was sweating. Obviously, she had just done some sort of strenuous activity. “You’re still hiding something from me!” Zhao Yu scolded her. “Now I know why you asked me to go through all of this trouble to come to see your villa thousands of miles away. I need to know what you are hiding. What the h*ll is going on?”

Cui Lizhu laughed, then said, “Before my father left, he told me that he had left something for me in the wine cellar in this villa. He asked me to take it out after he died. I didn’t tell you, because I wanted to leave you a surprise! You know what I am capable of. Otherwise, I can totally do this without you.”

Zhao Yu looked away and thought. She seems like she is not lying to me. If she wanted to hide it, she would not have asked me to come with her. Breaking and entering into this villa would have been an easy job for her even without my permission. But Zhao Yu still felt like there was something wrong. “Didn’t your father hide his treasure in your mother’s grave? What’s all this about the wine cellar?” he asked her.

Cui Lizhu opened the door to the wine cellar using her fingerprint, then pointed inside and said, “Oh, my father was a careful man. He always had a plan B! Come on, I think we can find more treasure here than in the grave!”

Zhao Yu frowned slightly. “What you are doing isn’t normal. You know, as long as you hadn’t told me, you could have kept it all to yourself. But since now you’ve told me, I’m afraid I’ll have to confiscate it all. I can’t understand why you are doing this,” he said doubtfully.

“Boss, I think all of your lectures finally got through to me. The five pending cases have almost all been finished. Now I don’t want to hide anything from you. You know, I saw what my dad had gone through. Gold can’t buy me a normal and safe life, which now is the most important thing to me. I don’t want to live my father’s life anymore,” Cui Lizhu said sadly.

Zhao Yu patted Cui Lizhu on the shoulder and praised her, excited. “Good! I will definitely help you with this. After we collect the treasure, I will report to my boss that you contributed greatly to my work. Then you will become official, and your past will no longer be something for you to worry about. I might also give you a big bonus for this,” Zhao Yu added. “Just like what I found in Gold Buddha Temple, if your dad’s treasure is worth a lot of money, you might not even have to give the villa back!”

Cui Lizhu gave him a thumbs up, but avoided looking at Zhao Yu. She pointed down into the depths of the cellar. “Come on, it’s inside,” she said. After they turned the light on, they saw that the cellar was practically empty. “Here… Here it is!” Cui Lizhu said, pointing to a stone pier in the corner of the southern wall. “According to my father, the treasure is buried under this stone pillar!”

Zhao Yu saw that the pillar sat symmetrically with a decorative stone pillar beside it, which would be used to hold wine barrels when completed. It looked extremely heavy. “Did you just call for help because you couldn’t lift it? If you could lift it…” Zhao Yu asked, looking up at Cui Lizhu.

“I admit that I thought about putting you into a coma,” Cui Lizhu said as she clasped her hands together, begging Zhao Yu to help.

“You…” Zhao Yu rolled up his sleeves. It took a great effort for him to move the heavy stone pillar even slightly.

“Wow, that’s great!” Cui Lizhu applauded. She then helped Zhao Yu push the pillar, finally moving it out of the corner together. “Come on, Boss, it’s all up to you now!” Cui Lizhu said as she handed Zhao Yu a huge hammer, asking him to hit the floor!

“Wait…Wait a minute…” Zhao Yu said. Right before he began hammering, Zhao Yu suddenly remembered what happened the last time he dug up some of Tao Xiang’s treasure. He used a Metal Detector to scan the ground. It instantly set off an alarm. Zhao Yu stared, eyes wide, and felt his heart beating fast.

Brilliant! Tao Xiang. I thought that the treasure found under Du Manting’s grave was all you had! Surprisingly, you still had other good stuff hidden away. Zhao Yu thought as he gripped the hammer tightly. Now I want to see what you left here. Zhao Yu hit the ground with the hammer, smashing it into the floor. A big hole appeared. He quickly put the hammer down and looked inside the hole. It was hollowed out inside. He and Cui Lizhu moved away the other broken floor tiles and a rectangular hole appeared.

Cui Lizhu turned on the flashlight with her cell phone. “It’s a box!” she shouted, excited.

“Leave some space for me,” Zhao Yu told her. He was more excited than Cui Lizhu. Zhao Yu quickly laid down, reaching his arm into the hole. Quickly, he picked up an old-fashioned box from below. However, while picking up the box, Zhao Yu felt that something was wrong. The box was not as heavy as he imagined, and he lifted it out with little effort. If it had contained gold, it would have been heavy.

Thinking about this, Zhao Yu was even more curious about what was in the box.
