Chapter 1923 The First Traveler
"This letter..." Wan Shufang had a complicated expression. She took a deep breath and barely controlled the shock in her heart. She said quietly, "There's nothing wrong with this letter."
"However, the language written in the letter is English, which is the language unique to the world I originally lived in. This means that there is another time traveler in this dynasty."
Wan Shufang explained slowly, trying to use words that Chen Changli could understand. Chen Changli already knew that she was a time traveler and that there was a space.
Now when she mentioned another time traveler, Chen Changli's face froze and he immediately became alert: "So, Hualian and Minghe's father is that time traveler."
"The letter was left by that person. It should be him. Perhaps it is because of the modern experience that Hualian and Minghe's father were able to expand their business to such a large scale."
Wan Shufang smacked her lips, recalling what she had heard about the legendary caravan in southern Xinjiang. If it hadn't been for so many unexpected events that happened later, they would have probably become rich enough to rival a country.
Thinking of this, Wan Shufang felt a little regretful: "It is really a pity for God to have such a talented person. I didn't expect that such a wonderful person would be plotted against and his family would be destroyed."
Now she only has one daughter left, and she lives in hatred. Wan Shufang sighed. Everything is fleeting. It is useless even if she feels sorry for it. Suddenly she thought of something and a strange expression appeared on her face.
"But if it's about treasure, why would he leave a letter written in English?"
This is very strange. As a time traveler, that person must know what leaving this letter means. Hualian and Minghe cannot recognize the contents of the letter, and it is difficult for them to get the treasure.
Seeing Wan Shufang frowning in thought, Chen Changli reached out his hand and gently smoothed her brows: "Perhaps, from a father's perspective, I can probably guess what he wants to do."
As he spoke, Chen Changli pulled Wan Shufang to sit down and said, "Based on Hualian and Minghe's understanding of the treasure, their father actually doesn't want them to know about the treasure."
"So he left this unbreakable letter. He didn't want his daughter to take risks for the treasure at all." Chen Changli spread his hands and leaned back in his chair, looking a little tired.
He doesn't want his daughter to be in danger, but Minghe is determined to find out and take revenge.
Faced with such completely contradictory ideas, Chen Changli didn't know what to do for a moment. He held the letter and fell into deep thought.
The atmosphere gradually became solemn and you could hear a pin drop in the room. Just when neither of them had a clue, there was a knock on the door.
"Master, it's me, An Qi."
Hearing An Qi's voice, Chen Changli put away the letter and said in a low voice, "Come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, a dark guard in black came in. There was a strong smell of blood on him. Wan Shufang's eyes darkened and she was extremely anxious: "You are injured, where is Minghe?"
"Madam, I am here to report this matter. Not long after you left, someone suddenly broke into the courtyard and assassinated Miss Minghe." The secret guard paused, as if his words had agitated his wound, and he let out a light breath.
"The enemy was quite strong. We fought desperately and they escaped. Miss Minghe was also slightly injured. Now our subordinates have brought her to the inn, which is next door."
After the secret guard finished speaking, Wan Shufang's heart finally settled down. Fortunately, they left someone to protect Minghe when they left, and fortunately, the other side did not have many people.
Thinking of Minghe's injury, Wan Shufang looked at Chen Changli and said, "Chen Changli, you and Anqi deal with this first. I'll go apply medicine to Minghe."
"Okay." Chen Changli nodded and watched Wan Shufang walk away before looking away.
"Tell me more about it. Can you tell me who the assassin is?"
Chen Changli was questioning about the details of the melee. At the same time, Wan Shufang pushed the door of the next room open and saw Minghe's miserable appearance. She couldn't help but think of Hualien.
"Minghe, are you okay?" Wan Shufang walked in quickly and checked her injuries.
"It's okay, just a scratch."
"You still think it's okay? You can bear it. I'll apply medicine for you."
Looking at the wound that was so deep that the bone could be seen, Wan Shufang gently took off her clothes and took out the best medicine. She was very careful not to hurt Minghe.
After struggling for a while, she finally applied the medicine and put Minghe's clothes back on.
"Minghe, I'm sorry. We've implicated you this time. That group of people came for us. Maybe our whereabouts were exposed and they smelled the scent and came here." Wan Shufang lowered her eyebrows and apologized to Minghe sincerely.
The feeling of guilt filled her heart, causing her to soften her voice involuntarily.
Seeing Wan Shufang like this, Minghe waved his hand and said jokingly, "It's okay. We are in the same boat now. There is no need to implicate each other."
"As long as you can help me find out the truth, I won't regret dying."
Hearing this, Wan Shufang was shocked. She didn't expect Minghe's obsession to be so deep. She raised her head and met the girl's bright yet determined eyes.
With a determination that was not typical of her age, she asked someone to find out the truth.
This made Wan Shufang extremely moved. After hesitating for a while, she gritted her teeth and told Minghe the contents of her father's letter.
"Minghe, we have deciphered your father's letter."
"Really?" Minghe's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously grabbed Wan Shufang's hand, his face full of excitement: "Tell me quickly, what did father say?"
"Your father said..."
Wan Shufang told her the general idea of the solution, and at the end she still tried to persuade her: "Minghe, your father doesn't want you to take risks, so why don't you wait for us here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Minghe let go of her hand, sighed, stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the bustling scene outside.
"Wan Shufang, you know, I am now alone, without any ties, and my only obsession is revenge. If I give up revenge, I will have no point in living, and it would be better for me to die."
She exuded a sense of desolation from head to toe. Wan Shufang's heart sank and she pulled her back to sit down.
"nonsense."
"If you seek death, then everything your father has planned will be in vain."
Seeing the disapproval on Wan Shufang's face, Minghe smiled and shook her arm like a spoiled child: "I'm not seeking death, but I want to find out the truth."
She was injured, and the shaking caused blood to ooze out of the wound, causing unbearable pain. However, Minghe didn't care at all and ignored the wound.
It was Wan Shufang who stopped her. After thinking for a moment, she took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I promise you."
"However, we have to wait until these bugs that are following us are dealt with before we leave. Then, I will take you to find the treasure."
Finally getting Wan Shufang's consent, Minghe heaved a sigh of relief. He was really happy. His beautiful eyebrows curved and his red lips moved slightly as he said, "Okay, it's a deal."
As if infected by her happiness, Wan Shufang also smiled, her mind was in a trance. Now that she had made up her mind, all she had to do was put it into practice.
