Chapter 513: The Ning family thought they had made a great profit, but in fact they suffered a loss
Facing the Ning family's patriarch's question, He Yuzhu naturally couldn't tell the truth right away. He made up an excuse.
"Master Ning, regarding the origin of this batch of gold bars, I obtained them by raiding the homes of some local rich men. I'm sorry I can't elaborate on the specific reasons."
The head of the Ning family was very dissatisfied with He Yuzhu's answer. He originally wanted He Yuzhu to tell the truth, but now that he was unwilling to speak, he did not indulge him and went straight to the point.
"Xiao He, you may have fooled others about this matter, but you can't fool me. I can tell you very clearly that this batch of gold is the same batch recorded in the legendary treasure map of the pioneers."
When He Yuzhu heard what the Ning family's patriarch said, he immediately denied it.
"Master Ning, are you mistaken? What is the treasure of the advance map? How come I have never heard of it?"
The head of the Ning family saw that He Yuzhu was lying with his eyes wide open, so he simply stopped beating around the bush and went straight to the point.
"Xiao He, it seems that you are unwilling to tell the truth. Do you think that a mere box of gold can really buy me off? Do you really think that our Ning family is so short of money? Our Ning family is a big family in 49 City, and we don't need your little money."
When He Yuzhu heard what the Ning family's patriarch said, he immediately asked,
"Master Ning, I don't understand what you mean. Are you planning to break the contract?"
The head of the Ning family did not want to dwell on this with He Yuzhu, so he pointed out the main point directly.
"Xiao He, I won't say any polite words. I have sent people to carefully investigate your resume, as well as your previous files and archives. I found that when you were the director of the Security Department of the Seventh Department, you disappeared secretly for a period of time.
And there are eyewitnesses who said that you went to the north alone and saw you in Mohe City. Don't tell me that you really don't know the whereabouts of the advance map treasure?
Do you really want me to find the eyewitnesses from that year and confront you face to face? Besides, I think there must be something fishy about the cause of death of the four security officers who died in the line of duty."
He Yuzhu was shocked when he heard what the head of the Ning family said. He felt that he had really underestimated this guy's ability. He could even dig up something that happened so long ago. What shocked him the most was that with just a few clues, he could perfectly reproduce what happened back then. Although there were still some deviations, he had guessed most of it.
Fortunately, the treasure in the advance map was a trap set by He Yuzhu for him.
Then He Yuzhu changed the subject.
"Master Ning, the old ones are the wisest. Since you have already guessed it, I will not hide it.
That’s right, that box of gold is what I took out from the treasure chest of the Pioneer Map.”
When the head of the Ning family saw that He Yuzhu admitted it, he was ecstatic again. His attitude and eyes when he looked at He Yuzhu changed, from expectation to passion and greed.
"Xiao He, since you are honest, I will also speak quickly. You asked me to help you with something before, but a box of gold alone is definitely not enough. You need to add more chips.
I think the treasure map of the advance expedition is a very good bargaining chip. How about this, you give me the treasure map, and when I find it, we can each take half?"
When He Yuzhu heard the request from the head of the Ning family, he rejected it outright.
"Master Ning, you are not kidding me.
The amount of treasure buried in this advance map treasure is not a small amount. I was at a loss as to how to transport it out, so I only took a box of gold. "
After hearing what He Yuzhu said, the head of the Ning family roughly understood some information.
First, the treasure in the advance map should be intact. After all, it is inconvenient to transport, and He Yuzhu did not take much.
Second, the location of the treasure in the advance map must be outside the country. If it was in the country, He Yuzhu would have secretly transported it himself long ago.
Third, the location of this treasure may be very remote, probably in a place where few people go.
When the head of the Ning family saw that He Yuzhu did not agree, he knew that his offer was not enough, so he changed his tone.
"Xiao He, tell me what you want me to do in order for you to reveal the exact location of the treasure on this advance map to me."
He Yuzhu heard this and stated his conditions.
“Master Ning, my request is very simple. First, I hope you can clear the injustice of my father-in-law;
Second, the promise to arrange for me to be assigned to an overseas security branch must be implemented;
Third, I don’t need you to give me half of the treasures of the advance map, just give me some of the money that your Ning family has;”
When the head of the Ning family heard He Yuzhu's three requests, he was stunned. Then he slowly said: "Xiao He, regarding the three requests you mentioned, I can't do the first one at all, but I can promise you to guarantee the personal safety of your father-in-law.
As for the second one, there is no problem, the third condition..."
After thinking for a moment, the Ning family's patriarch decided to agree.
"Okay, I'll agree to your third condition as well."
When He Yuzhu heard what the head of the Ning family said, he took out the advance map from his pocket without saying a word.
"Master Ning, the map is here. I hope you can keep your promise. However, after so many years, I am not sure whether the treasure is still in the original place. What if someone gets there first..."
The head of the Ning family was not interested in hearing these things at this time. All he had in mind was the treasure. When he received the advance map from He Yuzhu, he was horrified.
"Xiao He, why is this picture incomplete? Where are the other two?"
He Yuzhu scratched his head awkwardly.
"Master Ning, I only have this fragment of the map, but I already know the exact location of the treasure. As long as you fulfill your promise, I will tell you the whereabouts of the treasure."
After hearing He Yuzhu's answer, the head of the Ning family wanted to arrest He Yuzhu right away and torture him severely, but he knew that he could not do that because He Yuzhu was not an ordinary person, but a martial artist at the Grandmaster level, and no one in the entire Ning family compound could be his match.
When he thought of this, the bad thoughts that had arisen in his heart were instantly suppressed, and all he had to do now was wait patiently.
"Okay, Xiao He, come with me, I'll take you to the warehouse."
Afterwards, He Yuzhu followed the head of the Ning family to the secret room of their house, which was filled with many rare treasures, some of which he had even seen in the old palace.
But now seeing these things appear here, he immediately understood the key, but he didn't say it out loud.
After selecting some treasures, He Yuzhu left. Every time he selected one, the muscles on the face of the head of the Ning family twitched, because these things would basically be able to be auctioned at sky-high prices overseas in the future.
