Chapter 858: Chapter 858 Treasure

It wasn’t until nightfall that Luo Qiao felt the ship had stopped. She entered the space to change back into her original clothes and had some food before stepping out. After climbing out of the window, she listened intently but heard no movement, so she cautiously opened the door and walked out.

Apart from the lookout on the deck, the other attendants were gathered in a cabin nearby, drinking and eating meat. Luo Qiao noticed the Luo Family father and son among the group, their expressions grave.

Luo Qiao bent down and walked towards the cabin where the tattooed man stayed. When she arrived, she was surprised to find someone guarding the door. Testing the wind direction, Luo Qiao seized an opportunity to throw a handful of sleeping powder, and as the person was about to fall, she quickly pulled him into the space.

She swiftly returned to her original hiding spot to see if anyone inside had heard any noise. She entered the space herself where she found that besides a wooden gun, the person had no other useful information.

Luo Qiao checked outside again and saw it was still quiet. She carefully approached the cabin door and pressed her ear against it, hearing the tattooed man from the morning saying, "Master, you are taking too many risks this time. If something were to happen, how could I explain it to the young master?"

"I am old, and don’t have many years left," replied the old man. "I have carried this matter in my heart for decades without resolution. I am afraid I will have to enter the grave with regret."

"Is money more important than your life? Do you not trust your subordinates?"

The man patted the tattooed man on the shoulder, "You have grown up by my side since you were little, I trust no one as much as I trust you, but this time, if we cannot find the item, I still want to go there and see it for myself.

If we still cannot open it, it means that those items are not meant for me, and afterwards, I will move on and no longer dwell on it, spending my remaining years enjoying my grandchildren."

"Now that the daughter-in-law of the Lu Family is in our hands, if they really have the item, I believe they will bring it to exchange for her, especially since they don’t know the use of the Jade Pendant. No matter how meticulous they are, they wouldn’t guess that the Jade Pendant is the key to unlock the treasure."

"Shush, be careful, walls have ears. I hope no fourth person knows about this. Besides you, I have only mentioned it to Wu Jin. We need to be very careful."

"Master, everyone on this ship is our person, and we are on the high seas. You’re being too cautious."

"A careful man’s ship will sail for ten thousand years. It was not easy for me to come here this time, and I even arranged a double, so if we can’t get the Jade Pendant tomorrow, I will go directly to Chongqing in disguise. I want to go there again."

"Going to Yin Tiao Ridge at this time might not be proper. What if someone notices and we inadvertently lead them there?"

"The chances of me returning are slim. Going there one more time would fulfill my wish."

"If it comes to that, we could bring some explosives and blast the entrance open. Since it’s deep in the mountains, even if it’s a bit loud, no one will notice."

"You are thinking too simply. That place, unless opened with the Jade Pendant, will activate its mechanisms. Even at a few hundred meters away, no one would escape, no one."

"The Jade Pendant might truly not be with the Lu Family. After so many years without a trace, the Lu Family has been searched several times over."

"At the end, did Gu Taoran really have no contact with anyone from the Lu Family, or someone close to the Lu and Gu Families?"

"No, there wasn’t just one group tracking Gu Taoran, so the only possibility is that the Jade Pendant was accidentally dropped on the road and picked up by someone passing by."

"You’ve been through a lot these past few days; you should rest early. Tomorrow, whether we get it or not, we’ll head to Chongqing."

After hearing all this, Luo Qiao carefully released the person she had taken into the space, threw some antidote, and then went back to the tool room.

She quickly reviewed everything she’d just heard in her mind. If that was the case, she couldn’t let Lu Yichen make a careless move that might alert them. It would be best to follow them to Chongqing and find the place.

If not, the surface area of Yin Tiao Ridge was so vast, where would they start looking for the hidden treasure site?

No wonder they had been relentless over the years. It truly was as they say, humans die for wealth, as birds die for food. It seemed this treasure was why Lu Yichen’s mother had met with foul play.
