Chapter 248: Chapter 248: Visiting the House

After pushing the wall open, Old Sir Zhong did not hurry to enter; instead, he turned around to find a book for Wan Chu’er from the bookshelf.

"Here, this book introduces some mechanical techniques commonly used by espionage agents around the world. Take it and have a look," he said, pulling out a yellowing book from the shelf.

Wan Chu’er quickly glanced at the black hole created by the pushed open wall, hurried over to take the book, and exclaimed joyfully, "I love it."

"I’ve almost searched through our entire school’s library, how come I’ve never seen a similar book?"

Old Sir Zhong hummed softly, "You can’t find this stuff outside; if you weren’t my granddaughter, you’d never get to see it in your lifetime."

Wan Chu’er blinked, realizing it was a private stash.

Old Sir Zhong said, "Alright, let’s go in and take a look."

He walked back to the opening, turned on a flashlight, and poked his head inside. He pressed a button on the wall, and the interior was immediately illuminated.

There was a small light bulb installed inside.

Wan Chu’er widened her eyes, "I thought we would have to use the flashlight for lighting, or maybe even a torch."

Old Sir Zhong chuckled, "It’s a modern society now."

After the two entered, the inside was immediately clear, a very small space, Wan Chu’er guessed it was perhaps about ten square meters.

There was an old-looking camphor wood cabinet inside.

"This is a camphor cabinet, moisture-proof and insect-resistant, but in a closed space, it needs to be aired out before entering," Old Sir Zhong explained as he opened the cabinet, revealing its contents clearly.

Inside were five small boxes.

Old Sir Zhong continued, "These boxes contain some jade artifacts. When they were excavated, there were also some cultural relics and gold bars. I donated the cultural relics to the state, used some of the gold bars to support work, and gave some to Yan Hui for his startup.

Now, only the jade artifacts in these boxes are left. I almost forgot about them. If you like these items, you can take them all; if not, sell them to make some money."

Wan Chu’er blinked, feeling a bit unsettled, "Let me see what’s inside first."

She opened the first box, which contained a pair of jade bracelets glowing with a spring-green hue, bright and clear as ice, making one desire to touch them.

Wan Chu’er carefully picked up one, its surface smooth and delicate, cool and pleasant to the touch.

She then placed the bracelet back into the box and continued to open the next one, which contained a string of jade necklaces, each bead magnificent and uniformly lush green in color.

Wan Chu’er exhaled softly, cautiously touched them, then closed the box lid.

She sequentially opened the remaining three boxes: one contained a large jade Buddha pendant, another a fist-sized jade cabbage, and the last box held a collection of dragon and phoenix patterned jade bi discs.

Each piece of jade was incredibly beautiful, making Wan Chu’er swallow her saliva. Although she was not knowledgeable about jade, their transparent and crystal-clear quality was evidently not ordinary; any of them could fetch a good price if sold.

"Grandfather, these items are too beautiful."

Old Sir Zhong smiled, "It’s good that you like them, take them with you; besides you, I wouldn’t know who else to give them to."

Wan Chu’er felt conflicted for a moment, "These items are too valuable."

Old Sir Zhong shook his head, "No matter how valuable, they are still just objects; you deserve any good thing."

In the end, Wan Chu’er carried out the box containing the jade bracelets, feeling that it was better to leave the rest here.

This place was so secretive, and since the property belonged to the old man, who would dare to try thieving here, even if they did, they wouldn’t be able to find the place.

Her villa did not have such hidden mechanisms.

Old Sir Zhong let her be, after all, this old house would also be Wan Chu’er’s in the future.

After everything was restored, Wan Chu’er took the book and the box containing the jade bracelets, and stepped out into the courtyard with the old man.

Li Shan saw them and hurried over to assist the old man.

Old Sir Zhong said, "Go back and find time to input Chuchu’s information into the security system here."

Although this old mansion looks ordinary, it actually has the latest and most advanced intelligent security system, and those who trespass at will do not have good outcomes.

Therefore, without the old master’s permission, Zheng Yun and her daughter, Yan Hui, did not dare to barge back.

On the way back, Wan Chu’er smiled and said, "Jiang Kechu mentioned that he will visit our house tomorrow morning."

She had no classes in the morning and had classes in the afternoon.

The old master nodded, then closed his eyes to rest. Wan Chu’er didn’t disturb him and took out her mobile phone to send a text message to Jiang Kechu.

Upon returning home, Wan Chu’er ran upstairs to the study and started reading the book on the world’s espionage mechanical techniques.

The next morning at ten, Jiang Kechu arrived at the villa.

He wore a clean and neat military green casual outfit, looking very sharp.

As soon as she heard the car sound outside, Wan Chu’er ignored Xiao Bai’s jumping and Old Sir Zhong’s shaking head and happily rushed outside.

"Uncle Jiang."

Jiang Kechu removed his sunglasses, revealing a doting smile, "Call me by my name."

Wan Chu’er giggled, "Jiang Kechu."

But the next second, a middle-aged man and woman got out of the car.

Wan Chu’er was startled. Why had Jiang’s father and mother also come? Jiang Kechu hadn’t told her.

Faced with Father Jiang and Mrs. Jiang, Wan Chu’er immediately dropped her playful smile and greeted respectfully and politely, "Hello, uncle and aunt."

Father Jiang and Mrs. Jiang had just seen Wan Chu’er’s behavior from inside the car and were somewhat puzzled. The girl seemed younger than Ke Chu, perhaps even younger than Xiaoxiao. Her lively and adorable behavior just now made her look like a spirited young girl.

Are these two suitable?

However, remembering their son’s firm attitude and considering that this was Wan Chu’er’s home with elders likely present, and seeing her manners, Father Jiang and Mrs. Jiang didn’t feel it appropriate to say much even if they had more to discuss.

Father Jiang nodded with a smile.

Mrs. Jiang, warmly taking Wan Chu’er’s hand, said, "Really a good girl, no wonder Ke Chu kept you hidden so well, only telling us about you yesterday."

Meeting them for the first time and knowing they are Jiang Kechu’s parents, her discernment was admirable.

Wan Chu’er said a bit stiffly, "I didn’t know uncle and aunt were coming; we didn’t prepare much at home."

Had she known Father Jiang and Mrs. Jiang were coming, she would have taken care to warn the three men in her house, but now it was too late.

All she could do was pray inwardly that Xiao Bai wouldn’t act foolishly, Old Sir Zhong wouldn’t act too aloof, and Li Shan wouldn’t keep a stoic face.

Mrs. Jiang laughed, "Don’t be polite."

Jiang Kechu turned back to the car and took quite some stuff out. "Let’s go inside."

Wan Chu’er smiled and nodded, wanting to help him carry things, but Jiang Kechu dodged, "I can carry it myself."

Really, they didn’t give her a chance to perform well in front of his parents.

Wan Chu’er narrowed her eyes and glared at Jiang Kechu.

This score, I’ll settle with you later!

She smiled brightly and led the way for Father Jiang and Mrs. Jiang.

In the living room on the first floor, Old Sir Zhong, Xiao Bai, and Li Shan were all present and were all startled when so many people came in.

Everyone thought that only Jiang Kechu was coming, not expecting the parents as well.

Old Sir Zhong’s face flashed with satisfaction, indicating how much the Jiang family valued Chuchu.
