Chapter 498 I Have
Xu Changping looked at Yang Xiaoyue's frightened expression, and his heart seemed to be gently pulled by a gentle hand.
He lowered his voice and comforted her in a tone as gentle and firm as possible: "Don't be afraid, Xiaoyue, just put your heart at ease. I'm here and will protect you! As for the so-called treasure, the most important thing for us now is to stabilize the current situation first, and then make long-term plans."
Yang Xiaoyue listened to Xu Changping's words and nodded slightly.
Although there was still some uneasiness and fear stirring deep in her heart, as soon as she thought of Xu Changping, her restless heart slowly calmed down.
In this way, the two of them walked into the main hall side by side and came in front of Guan Ke. Xu Changping was the first to say goodbye to him.
Guan Ke silently watched the young couple in front of him, and suddenly a barely perceptible glimmer of understanding flashed across his eyes.
He sighed softly and said earnestly: "Okay, since you are determined to leave, then go. But you must be extra careful on the way!"
After saying goodbye to Guan Ke, Yang Xiaoyue slowly pushed out her brand new bicycle and set off on her journey home with Xu Changping.
Walking on the somewhat empty street, Yang Xiaoyue couldn't hold back her worries and broke the silence by saying, "Brother Xu, do you think those guys will really kill us just because we know a little clue about the treasure house?"
After hearing this, Xu Changping paused for a moment and then fell into a brief contemplation.
After a while, he replied solemnly, "This possibility is indeed not small. After all, in the face of huge temptations of interests, the true nature of many people will be exposed, and it is difficult for them to withstand such a test.
But in my opinion, even if they take action, they won’t dare to make it too public and attract too much attention.”
Yang Xiaoyue turned her head slightly, her eyes fell on Xu Changping beside her, and then nodded slightly.
She knew very well that Xu Changping was hiding some unknown secrets, but because she also had her own secrets that could not be spoken out, she never thought about delving into the reasons.
In this way, the two of them pushed the cart quietly on the street, and no one broke the tranquility.
As Yang Xiaoyue walked, she looked around calmly. After making sure that no one noticed them, she suddenly said, as if she had made some kind of decision: "In fact, my mother used to have a complete treasure map!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Changping, who had originally looked calm, was suddenly startled. He turned his head quickly as if he had been electrocuted, and stared at Yang Xiaoyue, as if he wanted to see some clues from her face.
However, just a moment later, he turned his head back quickly as usual, and his handsome face regained its previous calm and unruffled expression.
Seeing Xu Changping's interesting reaction, Yang Xiaoyue couldn't help but find it a little funny. She continued to speak nonchalantly in a slightly teasing tone: "It's just that this extremely precious treasure map was accidentally lost by me when I was young and ignorant!"
After hearing this, Xu Changping couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked, "Didn't your mother go looking for him?"
Facing this question, Yang Xiaoyue's mouth corners slightly raised, outlining a faint smile, and said slowly:
"Of course we did look for it, but no matter how hard we tried, we could never find any trace of it. Later, my mother told me that if this treasure map had never existed, perhaps my life would have been happier and more comfortable, so she finally chose to give up the search."
When she said this, the smile on Yang Xiaoyue's face became more and more obvious, as if she had completely let go of the past.
After hesitating for a long time, Xu Changping finally couldn't help but ask, "Where was this treasure map hidden before it was lost?"
He really couldn't imagine how Yang Xiaoyue's mother could give such an important thing to her young daughter to play with as a toy.
In his opinion, the item was most likely properly placed in a specific object and then accidentally lost by her while playing.
Yang Xiaoyue thought for a moment and then answered, "It seems... um... it's in a box with a lock."
Hearing this, Xu Changping couldn't help but chuckle, and narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "Haha, if that's true, then this treasure map is most likely not lost by you accidentally. Nine out of ten times, someone stole it deliberately."
"How could this be possible!" Yang Xiaoyue had never expected Xu Changping to come to such a conclusion. She was so surprised that she couldn't help but shout out loud.
Xu Changping glanced at her quickly and explained slowly:
"Why not? Just imagine, a little kid like you holding a box that's obviously locked.
Anyone with a discerning eye can guess that what is inside must be a very precious item in your home. Wouldn't it be easy for those people with ulterior motives to take this thing away from you?"
"Is that really the case? When I lost this thing, I was very sad for a long time!"
Yang Xiaoyue recalled the child in her memory. He was originally sunny and smiling, but because of this incident, he gradually became silent and depressed.
When she thought of this, she couldn't help but feel sad and helpless.
At this time, the two were standing at a crossroads with some people. Xu Changping suddenly stopped and said to Yang Xiaoyue beside him in a low voice:
"But, in my opinion, that thing is very likely still in your house. You might as well go back and look through the leftover items carefully. You may find something unexpected!"
Hearing this, Yang Xiaoyue was stunned at first, then shook her head, indicating that she didn't quite believe it.
However, even though she said she didn't believe it, for some reason, a sense of anticipation and excitement rose in her heart, as if there was a force driving her to go back and look for it immediately.
So she responded softly: "Okay, then I'll go back and look for it again."
Seeing Yang Xiaoyue's answer, Xu Changping smiled and nodded, then raised his wrist to check the time, and then said:
"Okay, take your time on your way back. I have to go to work quickly. We can talk about other things in detail after I get home from get off work in the evening." After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.
At this moment, Yang Xiaoyue suddenly called him: "Wait, Brother Xu, there is something you forgot to take!" She quickly reached out from her neck and took out a crystal clear jade pendant and handed it to Xu Changping. This jade pendant exudes a faint warm luster, and it is obvious that it is worth a lot of money.
Xu Changping wanted to say that it was fine after he had seen it, but suddenly he thought of the middle-aged woman who had left with such harsh words, and changed his words, "Okay, then leave it with me first. I'll find someone to copy it and then give it back to you."
