Chapter 859: Chapter 859 I Just Want You to Be Safe

Luo Qiao thought, looking at the behavior of both the Gu family and the Lu family, that even they might be clueless about the treasure.

However, the burial site of Lu Yichen’s grandmother was in Chongqing, and there had to be unknown stories there. Otherwise, given the wealth and power of the Gu family, it was impossible for them not to have moved the grave, unless the grandmother had left instructions forbidding it.

Unable to figure it out, Luo Qiao stopped thinking about it, locked the door from the inside, and went to sleep in her space. Nothing was more important than sleep; she would have the energy to deal with everything once she woke up.

Overnight passed, and the next day at noon, the ship returned to a location dozens of nautical miles from Tianjin Port. Luo Qiao thought about how to send a message to Lu Yichen, telling him not to act rashly and to wait until after a trip from Chongqing before making their move.

Even if they managed to catch these people now, they wouldn’t disclose the treasure’s location. One could only take the opportunity to follow them and plan the next move from there.

Then, the ship stopped, and she heard someone outside saying, "This person hasn’t eaten for several meals; should we give her something to eat? We don’t want her to die on the board. That would be bad luck."

"She’s only skipped three or four meals; she’s not going to starve to death that easily. Let’s go, go, go eat."

Luo Qiao listened until the two men walked away, then she unlocked the door from the inside. Just as she was about to climb out of the window from the day before, she heard someone unlocking the door. Luo Qiao cautiously grabbed an ax as a precaution.

As the door opened, before she could say a word, she was pulled into a drenched embrace: "Qiaoqiao, are you alright? You bad girl, you really had me worried, didn’t you?"

Luo Qiao hugged the person back: "I was thinking, ’No venture, no gain.’ Right, Brother Chen, I have something very important to tell you."

Lu Yichen didn’t let her go but held her even tighter: "Tell me."

"Brother Chen, let me go first; it’s really important," then struggling to escape Lu Yichen’s embrace, she continued, "Listen carefully, on this ship are the Luo Family Father and Son’s supplier, a man with tattooed arms.

That man had the vessel sail to the High Seas yesterday and picked someone up. Judging by the voice, the person they picked up must be quite old. The tattooed man refers to him as ’master’, and the most important thing is, according to what they said, the jade pendant they are looking for is the one you gave to me. That Jade Pendant is the key to a treasure.

The treasure is located near Yin Tiao Ridge in Chongqing. But as you know, that area is vast, part of the Shennongjia mountain range. Without someone to lead us, it’s impossible to find the exact treasure location.

So hurry up and get your people to withdraw. They now suspect that the jade pendant had been lost by mom back in the day. Those two said that if the jade pendant isn’t handed over by noon today, they will disguise themselves and head to Yin Tiao Ridge once more before exploring for other entrances.

I was thinking whether this is true or not we can’t be sure, so we need to confirm it first. I was thinking of following them, to pinpoint the location first. Then we can figure out what to do next together."

Lu Yi became anxious: "No, you must leave with me. As for the rest, we might as well pretend we know nothing about it. What’s the use of owning so much if you’re not safe? I just want you to be safe."

Having heard Luo Qiao’s words just now, Lu Yichen couldn’t say that he wasn’t emotionally affected. But nothing was more important than Qiaoqiao’s safety.

"Qiaoqiao, now you come with me, I will take you away from here. Be good, will you listen?"

"Brother Chen, I know what you’re thinking, but I can protect myself. If I leave with you now, it will alert them. Trust me, please. I can take care of myself.

If there really is such a treasure, turning it over to our country would also be a meritorious deed, wouldn’t it? It’s better than letting it remain hidden in Yin Tiao Ridge."

The two argued some more, but neither could persuade the other.

Finally, Lu Yichen couldn’t win against Luo Qiao’s determination: "Then you must take good care of yourself, and we’ll meet at that coffee shop in the port. I want to go to Chongqing with you; I won’t feel at ease otherwise."

Luo Qiao nodded: "Okay, then first pull everyone back. Don’t appear at the port to meet with them, let them think you’ve given up on me. This way, I’ll be safer, and I’ll find a chance to jump into the sea and escape."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yichen couldn’t accept it: "Do you realize what you’re saying? We’re still at least twenty nautical miles from the port; you can’t possibly make it back to shore. What if you encounter a shark? What would you do then?"
