Chapter 340 The Compass is Destroyed
When Xu Youyou heard this, she remembered that Mr. Wu seemed to have said something similar.
"Even if we know where the thing is, we can't find it?" Xu Youyou asked.
Old Mrs. Wu nodded and said, "My father is very capable and stubborn. He keeps many things from us children. He only revealed a few things to me once, but I have always known that he is different from ordinary people."
Xu Youyou believed what she said.
On the other hand, the younger generation Wu Xiaoguang had his mouth drooping and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.
"Grandpa Zeng may be a capable man, but he has a strange personality. He doesn't even know how to earn the money he gets. If it were me, I would have rented the cellar to the crew long ago. Where can I find a fool to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to rent a cellar these days..."
Wu Xiaoguang stopped talking when he saw Xu Youyou's unhappy look.
Xu Youyou said bluntly: "The crew you mentioned is the one I invested in."
Wu Xiaoguang suddenly felt like a chicken with its neck strangled, and he didn't dare to speak for a long time.
Old Mrs. Wu looked at her disappointing nephew and said, "Since your great-grandfather is unwilling to rent, he must have his reasons. Stop speaking ill of your elders behind their backs."
Wu Xiaoguang still knew how to ask for money from Old Lady Wu, so he didn't dare to confront her forcefully and could only lower his head.
At this time, in the urban area of Fushan County, Hunan Province, in a black Maybach, an old man with a skinny face was holding a buzzing compass in his hand.
"Go west." The old man said in a vague voice.
The driver didn't dare to slack off at all and drove directly west.
The car drove for a long time and finally entered a village with the compass's slow guidance. It finally stopped in front of a two-story building at the end of the village road.
The gate to the yard in front of the house was only half-closed. The old man's entourage walked in directly and came out soon after.
"Dragon King, there's no one in the room. What on earth is this? Can we go in and find it ourselves?"
Hearing this, the Red Dragon King shook his head and looked down at the compass, which no longer indicated the direction after arriving here, but started to spin wildly.
"How can I get the treasure if the master hasn't invited me?" said the Red Dragon King.
After hearing this, the lawyer beside him immediately said, "Brother, I will go to the village to ask about the situation of this family."
The Red Dragon King nodded and added, "This treasure is extremely precious..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the compass in his hand suddenly made a loud noise and exploded.
"Brother, are you hurt?" the master asked with concern.
The Red Dragon King looked at the broken compass needle with a look of joy instead of sadness. He said, "I knew that with such a big reaction from the compass, a treasure must have appeared."
The master was still worried: "A good compass has been destroyed. This is your most precious magical instrument. I don't know how many antiques you have sacrificed to maintain it. Is it worth it?"
The Red Dragon King waved his hand and said, "Don't overthink it. As long as we can get this treasure, even if we have to blow up ten or eight compasses, it will be worth it."
Since the master could become the most trusted person of the Red Dragon King, his investigative ability was naturally not bad. He soon learned about the events of the past two days from the villagers.
"A beautiful girl named Xu, more beautiful than a star, and very generous."
When the Red Dragon King heard this description, he immediately knew who he was talking about. He said with a gloomy face, "This girl is very cunning. If she gets involved, I'm afraid the things will not fall into our hands."
The master said, "Hearing what Big Brother said, I'm worried too. Based on what the villagers said, I suspect the item is still in Old Man Wu's hands. He had a long conversation with Xu Youyou last night, and perhaps they've already reached an agreement. Our only chance now is to find his great-grandson."
The Red Dragon King nodded, agreeing with the master's idea. He said, "There's no time to lose. There's no need to wait for the old man to die. Let's send someone over now. We can offer a higher price."
In the hospital, the Wu family thought Xu Youyou would leave immediately, but they didn't expect that she would stay in the hospital all the time. Even when she went to eat, she would leave two bodyguards to watch over the old man's bed.
"Ms. Xu, if you hadn't discovered my father's sudden illness in time, we still don't know what happened to him. You really don't have to stay here with him all the time and waste your time." Old Mrs. Wu said with a guilty look on her face.
Xu Youyou shook her head. "I won't say those polite words. My deal with Mr. Wu hasn't been completed yet. I should be hoping for him to be alive more than anyone else in the world."
When Mrs. Wu heard this, she didn't feel offended. Instead, she felt a sense of relief.
She was old and couldn't stay by her bedside to take care of her all the time. The younger generations in the family all had their own things to do, and the only person who could stay here all the time was the idle Wu Xiaoguang.
To be honest, Old Mrs. Wu was not at all confident in her nephew's ability. After all, he was a useless person. If something happened to the old man while he was taking care of him, she wouldn't know where to cry.
Although Xu Youyou is an outsider, she brings a group of people with her, so she is definitely more reliable than Wu Xiaoguang.
Wu Xiaoguang was also unwilling to burden himself, so he also persuaded Mrs. Wu: "Auntie, you don't want the free labor, why do you have to make me work so hard? I have things to do, so I'll go back first."
After Wu Xiaoguang said this, he turned around and was about to leave when the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
"Two hundred thousand? Tell me the story again... I usually don't agree... but since you said it sincerely, five hundred thousand, one price!" Wu Xiaoguang said to the other end of the phone.
Old Lady Wu felt something was amiss and asked with a cold face, "What shady people are you dealing with again? Are you going to do anything illegal?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Xiaoguang put away his phone and immediately began to act out: "Auntie, you've disliked me since I was a child. I think you're prejudiced against me! I swear to God, I haven't done anything illegal! If you continue to look at me with tinted glasses like this, I'll really do something illegal to show you!"
Despite Wu Xiaoguang's big reaction, Mrs. Wu's expression remained unchanged. Instead, she said, "If you really want to do something illegal, I don't have a nephew like you. Don't look for me if you get into trouble in the future."
Wu Xiaoguang snorted and said, "If you don't want to find me, then don't! Do you think you're that good to me? I don't care!"
After saying this, Wu Xiaoguang left the hospital angrily.
The worry on Mrs. Wu's face was almost condensed into substance: "What a useless thing! I really don't know what trouble he will cause next!"
Xu Youyou comforted her, "Old lady, since he doesn't listen to advice, you don't have to ask for trouble. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Worrying about everything will only add to your troubles."
