Chapter 1922 Strange Text
"My sister must have been killed by someone who wanted to steal the treasure."
Minghe's face was filled with anger and her tone was cold, as if she wanted to pick up a knife and kill those people in the next second, but she didn't notice the shocked expressions on Chen Changli and Wan Shufang's faces at all.
The two looked at each other and saw solemnity in each other's eyes.
Is the treasure real?
Previously, they thought that it was just a rumor spread to disrupt the world and should not be taken seriously. But now, since they have the key, it means that the treasure really exists.
"I thought the treasure was just a lie, but now..." Wan Shufang murmured, looking at Minghe with a serious face: "But how could Hualian be related to the treasure? Wasn't she looking for the treasure before?"
After she finished speaking, Wan Shufang looked at Minghe's hesitant expression, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind: "You guys are not..."
"There used to be a very famous caravan in southern Xinjiang. The head of that caravan was a good businessman. He led the caravan and made a lot of money, which made many people jealous. But later he disappeared mysteriously without any news of him." Chen Changli spoke calmly about this old story, and it was obvious that he and Wan Shufang were thinking the same thing.
The two looked at Minghe, who hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
Now, everything is explained. The so-called treasure is inextricably linked to the caravan. As the daughter of the head of the family, it is not surprising that Hualien has the key.
Thinking of this, Wan Shufang sighed, and after a long while she asked, "Minghe, where is the treasure hidden? If we find the treasure, maybe everything will be solved."
Worried that Minghe might not trust them, Wan Shufang patted her chest and assured them, "Don't worry, we won't take the treasure, and we will do our best to find out the truth."
After saying that, she waited for Minghe to speak, but saw Minghe shaking his head, with his hand on his chin, as if he was recalling the past.
"I can't help you with this. My parents never let my sister and I touch the treasure, so I don't know where the treasure is." Minghe paused, looking somewhat helpless: "Also, my parents were assassinated later, and the caravan was disbanded. We were displaced and had no idea about the treasure."
As soon as these words were spoken, the three people present fell silent. The clue was broken again. They now only knew that Hualian's jade pendant was the key to the treasure, but they didn't know where to find the treasure.
Moreover, the people behind the scenes did not show up.
Seeing the two people looking worried, Minghe pursed her lips and suddenly thought of something. She felt around her body and took out a letter.
"I remember that my father left a letter. It might be related to the treasure, but I still haven't deciphered the contents of the letter."
Hearing this, Chen Changli reached out to take the letter, but Minghe smiled awkwardly and just held the letter in her hand, not giving it to him for a long time. Seeing this, the two looked at her in confusion.
Minghe looked hesitant, as if he didn't want to hand over his father's letter.
She didn't know Chen Changli and Wan Shufang, and she didn't fully trust them at the moment. If she revealed all her cards now, she would probably be put in a passive situation and find it difficult to extricate herself.
Minghe was hesitant. As if she had guessed her thoughts, Wan Shufang coughed lightly and said calmly, "Minghe, just tell me what you want."
Hearing this, Minghe's eyes lit up slightly, and gradually became firmer. He looked at Chen Changli and Wan Shufang without blinking.
"My purpose is simple. I hope you two can find out the truth and help me get revenge. Hualian's death cannot be in vain. As her sister, I have an obligation to do this."
"Okay, I can promise you." Wan Shufang nodded in agreement. Minghe still did not hand over the letter. She raised her hand, held the letter between her fingers, and shook it in the wind.
"I know you are the heroes of Dayong, the famous Duke and Duchess. If you don't keep your promise, at worst we will die together. I will do my best to ruin your reputation and make sure you have no place to stand."
When she said this, the fierceness in Minghe's eyes almost became tangible. This was the only thing she could do, risking her life just for the truth.
Wan Shufang was touched by his reckless look. She couldn't help but hold Chen Changli's hand under the stone table and squeezed it hard.
Chen Changli understood, nodded, and made a promise: "I promise you, I will investigate this matter and will never break my promise."
"Okay...thank you."
After Chen Changli agreed, Minghe relaxed completely, as if he was exhausted. His hands were shaking a little as he handed the letter to Chen Changli.
Chen Changli opened the letter and after just one glance, Wan Shufang fell silent and frowned.
There were some strange words written on the piece of letter paper. They didn't look like words but more like runes. Chen Changli looked up and wanted to ask something, but saw Wan Shufang with a complicated expression. He suppressed the doubts in his heart.
Chen Changli put away the envelope. Seeing Minghe's puzzled expression, he said to comfort him: "This writing is very unfamiliar. It doesn't seem to belong to any dynasty."
"Minghe, we need to take this letter back first and study it carefully before we can tell you the result."
After he finished speaking, Wan Shufang also nodded. There was a flash of disappointment in Minghe's eyes. She thought that Chen Changli and Wan Shufang could understand the letter left by her father.
Unexpectedly, the two of them were at a loss, but looking at Chen Changli's appearance, there was still a glimmer of hope. It was just a letter, and it would be okay for them to take it back.
Ming He calmed down after his thoughts were swirling, and nodded calmly: "Okay, thank you both, but please don't damage the letter, after all, it is something left by my father."
Now, their family has been separated. Minghe doesn't want to lose anything related to her family. Facing her pleading eyes, Chen Changli said "hmm" softly.
"Okay, once we have studied the contents of the letter, we will send it back intact."
After saying that, Chen Changli stood up, reached out and held Wan Shufang's hand very naturally, interlocked their fingers, and took Wan Shufang out of Minghe's courtyard.
The temperature of his palm was somewhat hot. In the past, Wan Shufang would have let go out out of shyness, but now, she just lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking, and let Chen Changli lead her out.
Silent all the way.
It was not until he returned to the inn that Chen Changli closed the door and took out the letter. The letter paper was a little wrinkled. He straightened the creases, reopened the letter and handed it to Wan Shufang.
"Shufang, what happened? Is there something wrong with the content of this letter?"
Wan Shufang took the letter but didn't speak for a long time.
"Shufang, what's wrong?" Chen Changli asked anxiously, with worry in his eyes. He had been in Minghe's courtyard long ago. He couldn't understand the contents of the letter, so he wanted to ask Wan Shufang.
But when he saw Wan Shufang looked strange and there were outsiders around, Chen Changli suppressed his doubts and quickly took her back.
