The fat man: "..."

"How is it? Do you find it very smooth?"

The fat man didn't say anything, but he knew that what the doctor said was very likely to happen. Sure enough, the upper beam was not straight and the lower beam was crooked. Wu the Elder's children were all not easy to deal with, and they were more ruthless than the other when they cheated people.

The car drove through a bend, and the mountain road was bumpy, waking up the boy lying on his side. The first thing he did when he woke up was to check if his tattered cloth bag was still there. He had been using it as a pillow when he slept.

Jiang Cheng found it amusing and teased him, saying that he was still young but already a money-grubber. How much could a tattered cloth bag and some newspapers inside be worth? Could he buy four dishes with the money he sold them for?

The little boy was still a little afraid of him, but he was naturally close to the fat man, and couldn't help but lean towards the fat man's position. Only after getting closer did he seem to have the confidence to challenge Jiang Cheng, "It has nothing to do with money, there are my treasures inside!"

Jiang Cheng laughed even more happily, "Newspapers are also considered treasures?"

"Not newspapers! Just treasures!"

The little boy's face changed with anger. After speaking, he opened the cloth bag as if he was sulking, and removed the newspapers on top layer by layer. Then he carefully wiped his hands on his clothes. After wiping his hands clean, he reached in and took out a small package wrapped in red cloth from the bottom of the cloth bag.

The boy's expression was serious, and the whole process was even full of a sense of ritual.

Seeing this, Jiang Cheng and the fat man couldn't help but become interested. The two leaned their upper bodies towards the little boy, their eyes widened slightly, but the boy cast a wary look at Jiang Cheng, clutching the red cloth package tightly.

Seeing this, the fat man explained, "Don't be afraid, he is a good person like me, he won't rob your treasure."

With the fat man's guarantee, Jiang Cheng was fortunate enough to see this so-called treasure. As the boy opened the red cloth little by little, Jiang Cheng and the fat man's eyes paused at the same time.

Inside the red cloth bag was a jade earring. The earring was oval in shape and emerald green all over, like a green eye, still emitting a faint fluorescence in the dim environment, obviously not an ordinary product.

The boy only let them look at it a few times, then quickly took it back, and asked with a proud face, "How is it, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

"Where did you get this thing..."

Jiang Cheng naturally wouldn't have the intention of snatching the treasure, and this was a mission world, even if it was a great treasure, he couldn't take it back. He was just curious about how the boy could have such a treasure.

Moreover, he was also worried about the boy. Pi fu wu zui, huai bi qi zui (a common man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure). This thing would only bring disaster if it was kept in his hands.

The boy immediately became unhappy after sensing the suspicion in Jiang Cheng's tone, "What do you mean by that, what do you mean by where did I get it, I didn't steal or rob, this thing is mine."

"My father left it to me!" The boy was a little excited.

"You still have... Where is your father?"

After a pause, the fat man immediately changed his tone. He originally thought that the little boy was an orphan, wandering alone without parents. If he could find the little boy's father, then he would be relieved.

Speaking of his father, the boy's mood was not very good. He just carefully took back the jade pendant, wrapped it back in the red cloth, and stuffed it into the bottom of the cloth bag. After a long time, he shook his head, "I'm not like the other children on the street. I'm not an unwanted child. I have a father, but... I just don't know where he is."

"But he definitely wants me. He told me to wait for him, saying that he would come to me one day. He might not recognize my face anymore, but he will recognize this treasure."

Jiang Cheng understood a little. No wonder the little boy was so poor that he was unwilling to exchange the earrings for money. It turned out that this earring was a token for father and son to recognize each other.

Judging from this earring, the boy's father was not an ordinary person, at least a rich man. Letting the boy wander outside alone, this father must have encountered difficulties.

Jiang Cheng stretched out his hand and patted the boy's shoulder, "Don't worry, tell us your father's name, and we'll help you find him."

"I... I don't remember."

"Then you always have an impression of what he looks like, right? Tell us what he looks like, and let this brother draw it for you. We'll take the drawing to find someone. Don't worry, this brother is especially good at drawing!" The fat man had great confidence in Jiang Cheng's painting skills.

Unexpectedly, the boy became more and more embarrassed, lowered his head, and his eyes were slightly red, "I... I forgot, it's been too long, I even forgot what my father looks like, I only remember he told me, he will come back to me, no matter where I am, he will find me."

Jiang Cheng frowned slightly when he heard these words. He had a very strange feeling, but he couldn't be sure. There was an indescribable feeling about this child, and... it seemed that the timing of his appearance was too coincidental.

He was like a thread, accurately connecting several things completely. Every time he appeared, the timing was just right, from providing information on the newspaper to guarding outside the Wu residence to inform them... He was too busy with the mission before and didn't have time to think carefully. Now that he was temporarily settled down, the more he recalled, the more loopholes there were, and even the more frightened he became.

Jiang Cheng was sure that this boy was an important clue character in the mission, similar to the little beggar in Young Master Huang's mission.

Jiang Cheng couldn't help but sigh softly. The little beggar, and the boy in front of him now, were both accidentally captured by the fat man. Otherwise, the difficulty of the mission would be even higher.

But it seemed... the boy's identity was even stranger.

Jiang Cheng kept a close eye on him and didn't continue to ask, while the fat man was blindly moved there, constantly comforting the boy, saying that he believed his father had also been thinking about him, and they would soon be reunited as father and son.

When it was completely dawn, Jiang Cheng and the fat man rested for a while. On the way out of Wolong Town, they were worried, fearing that the Second Young Master would go back on his word and send someone to hunt them down.

Back in Shanghai City, the group didn't immediately set out to find clues, but found a decent hotel to stay in. They were now very rich with the reward paid by the Second Young Master. After filling their stomachs, they rested in the room until the evening before setting off.

Led by Jiang Cheng and the fat man, the group took advantage of the night and came to Baomo Studio. The old gentleman who had been there before saw that it was Jiang Cheng and the fat man, and immediately greeted them. First, he closed the store and put up a sign saying that it was closed, and welcomed everyone to the tea room upstairs. After making tea, he went to notify the shopkeeper again. His movements were so skillful that people felt embarrassed.

Soon, the shopkeeper arrived in a hurry. After saying a few words of greeting, Jiang Cheng directly stated his intention, handed the portrait to the shopkeeper, and asked him to help find this person. The approximate range was antique dealers near Shanghai City, or some side businesses related to tomb raiding.

"Brother Jiang, Brother Wang, it's good that you came. We have also investigated some clues. There seems to be some kind of strange connection between these evil treasures. They... are likely to have been unearthed from a tomb." The shopkeeper suddenly lowered his voice, "Let's call it the Tomb of Marquis Hun for the time being."
