However, Zheng Qing had already said that he could not keep anyone here, and his impact on the Zheng Family would not be good.

He watched as the butler left with an unfriendly expression. After he and the others left, Old Master Zheng's expression became even colder.

Zhong Wentao only pretended not to see it and went to the dining hall to eat with Zheng Ji. Zheng Qing laughed bitterly, also not expecting his grandfather to get angry at him over a mere butler.

In this way, the atmosphere at the dining table became extremely cold and cheerless. Zheng Ji did not know what happened as he ate happily by himself. As his body recovered, his appetite became as good as ever.

Although Cheng Yang felt the Old Master Zheng's dissatisfaction, he did not know why but he did not care either. The only ones who knew the reason were Zheng Qing and Zhong Wentao, but it was much better for Zhong Wentao to calmly drink the soup than what he looked like.

Old Master Zheng could not eat even a single mouthful of rice when he was eating in such a weird atmosphere.

When he thought about how Zheng Yu still had so many good things in his hands, he started to have difficulty sleeping and eating.

"Cough, cough …"

Finally, Old Master Zheng opened his mouth and asked: "What did you give Jiang Family's butler just now?"

"Grandfather!"

Zheng Qing immediately stopped him, it was too rude!

"It's just a small toy."

Zhong Wentao chuckled, he did not plan to answer truthfully.

"That jade pendant looks pretty good, where did you get it from? Now that the Chinese medicine is so profitable, you can actually pass such a good item to someone else without any hesitation. Aren't you afraid that they will give it back to you?"

Old Master Zheng asked straightforwardly, he almost didn't ask where the thing was stolen from, as Little Traditional Chinese Medicine Doctor couldn't afford to buy it.

Zheng Ji who had been eating non-stop put down his chopsticks, and slowly understood that the situation in front of him was not very friendly.

"Grandfather, why are you asking about other people's things?"

Zheng Ji asked with a smile, but his tone was filled with patient dissatisfaction.

"I was just casually asking, what happened?"

Old Master Zheng asked brazenly, his true face about to be revealed.

"This jade pendant was gifted to me by Zheng Yu. I, as a Little Traditional Chinese Medicine Doctor, naturally cannot afford it. His grandfather left it for him.

"Zhong Wentao laughed and opened his mouth, only to see Old Master Zheng's expression quickly changing, and finally stopping at the extremely ugly expression.

Everyone knew that Zhong Wentao said that intentionally, and only one person from the Old Master Zheng believed it.

If he wanted to obtain these things, he believed that Zheng Yu truly had them.

It was the item left behind in the wooden box that made him think that Zheng Yu definitely had many other good things. He couldn't possibly only have one, his greed had started from that box as well.

"Zheng Yu is such a child, but what the f * * k. These things belong to our Zheng Family, even if he doesn't want them, he can't just give them to others. If you don't mind, why not …"

Give it back to me.

Before he could finish the last three words, he was interrupted by Zheng Ji.

The bowl in Zheng Ji's hand directly fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, interrupting Old Master Zheng's speech.

Without waiting for Old Master Zheng to deliver the goods, Zheng Ji immediately fell to the ground and twitched his body, as though he was sick. This anxious the old man, he did not have time to care about the matter of the jade pendant, and only asked Zhong Wentao to bring Zheng Ji for treatment.

Sitting on the chair, Zheng Qing saw through his brother's trick and felt bitter.

In this family, only the Old Master Zheng was blinded by the treasures. If this continued, the Zheng Family would probably end up walking the same road as before.

In the room.

Zheng Ji laid on his bed, pretending to moan, but there was a smile on his face. This was the first time he had done this, but he actually felt that it was very interesting.

"Aren't you afraid that your grandfather will say something to you?"

Zhong Wentao asked with a smile, feeling curious.

"He's old, but there's more desire when he's old. When he sees something good, he hopes it's his …"

Zheng Ji said bitterly, trying to rationalize the old man's actions.

Zhong Wentao did not reply, if that was the case, then all the elders who were old would have the same reaction, which was clearly not right.

Understanding that Zheng Ji was doing this to protect his grandfather, Zhong Wentao didn't say anything more.

However, he was even more certain that grandfather Zheng Yu's remnants were seized by the old man as if they were his own. After hesitating for a moment, he still couldn't say it out loud.

At the very least, they had to wait until they were completely stable in Yan Jing before they could retrieve the thing for Zheng Yu.

"Do you want to share a secret with me?"

Suddenly, Zheng Ji asked with a smile.

"If you tell me who's jade pendant belongs to, I will bring you to see my grandpa's secret."

"What?"

Zhong Wentao was very surprised, as he wasn't sure if Zheng Ji was serious or not.

Would Zheng Ji really let him know the secret of the old man?

Zheng Ji did not explain, but chuckled and looked at Zhong Wentao, as though as long as Zhong Wentao nodded, he would immediately bring Zhong Wentao to see that secret.

After hesitating for a while, Zhong Wentao agreed. He wanted to see what Zheng Ji was going to do.

A smile appeared on Zheng Ji's face, he waved Zhong Wentao over, and looked extremely mysterious.

Zhong Wentao walked to the bedside, only then did he get off the bed, and took off the bed sheets, exposing the underneath.

It was only then that Zhong Wentao realised that Zheng Ji's bed was even taller than normal. Normally, although he would feel that way, the bed was even taller than he had imagined when he lifted the bed cover.

He quickly turned his head and looked at the chair that he often sat on. He realized that this chair was taller than the average chair, so he used this distance to make people feel that something was wrong with the bed.

Without saying a word, Zheng Ji quickly opened up the wooden board under the bed. It was a secret passage that led directly to the bottom of the bed.

This point, made Zhong Wentao extremely surprised.

He had been staying here every day, but he hadn't noticed anything at all.

Zheng Ji said proudly: "I found this out, I don't even know my brother!"

"How could that be?"

Zhong Wentao was a little surprised.

"This was originally my grandpa's room, but I was in a bad mood when I was given this room. I hid under the bed and found this secret passage, as well as the things inside it."

As he talked, Zheng Ji went in. There was a ladder inside, if one's lower body could go in first, they could use their feet to feel their way down the ladder, following suit. Zhong Wentao also went in slowly, not forgetting to put the wooden board back in place, leaving no traces.

The secret passageway was not very wide, and could only accommodate one person. They carefully went down, trying their best not to make any noise.

Unknowingly, half an hour had passed. Zheng Ji landed on both legs, bent down and walked inside, imitating his movements. Zhong Wentao was the same, just that the inside was much brighter, as if he was exposed to the sunlight.

There was a huge garden inside the greenhouse. There were all kinds of flowers and plants in this garden.

"Is this a garden?"

Zhong Wentao was extremely shocked that there would actually be such a good place underground.

Everyone knew that the air in the basement was thin, and there was no light to shine on. It was impossible for any plants to live well, but Old Master Zheng did it, keeping all the flowers and plants below, just the roof lighting system, would cost a lot of money, not to mention the oxygen equipment, taking a deep breath, the oxygen here was purer and thicker than outside, it was a really good place to go.

But this kind of place, wouldn't become the Old Master Zheng's secret, right?

Seeing through his thoughts, Zheng Ji smiled faintly and quickly walked forward. Zhong Wentao followed behind, the two of them walked to the deepest part of the garden, where there was a large wooden cabinet filled with countless treasures. There were a few jade pendants that were better than the ones he gave to Jiang Family's butler.

It was just that the garden was very big, if Zheng Ji had not brought him here, it would be very difficult for him to find this cabinet.

"I came down here every day when I found this place. It took me a few days to find this place. There were only a few things here in the past, and they accumulated over the years. Now, I can't keep the cabinets anymore."

Zheng Ji laughed and said: "These are all the good things in my grandfather's heart, if these things were to disappear, my grandfather would also be dead."

"Could it be …"

Zhong Wentao faintly said, he had a premonition.

Maybe Zheng Yu's grandfather's treasure was also here, it was one of the treasures.

Zheng Ji was not interested in these things. He turned around and went to other places to play, leaving him here alone.

There was a huge lock on the cabinet, and even Zhong Wentao wasn't confident that he would be able to open it at one go. Zheng Ji was aware of this fact, so he didn't mind leaving him here.

He carefully looked at the things in the cupboard and memorized every single one of them. He planned to describe them to Zheng Yu to see if there was anything with Zheng Yu's memory.

As he was looking, his body suddenly stiffened as he saw something familiar.

The pink-white pearl bracelet belonged to the junior, so why was it here?

Thinking of this, his hand unconsciously touched the cabinet.

Zheng Ji came back from the side and saw this scene.

"Stop!"

Zheng Ji shouted, his expression extremely ugly.

Too bad it was too late, he saw Zhong Wentao's hand touch the cabinet, and in the next second it was the entire alarm system's sound, the alarm was set off.

Zhong Wentao then completely regained his senses, seeing Zheng Ji's unsightly expression, the two of them subconsciously ran towards the secret path.

When the alarm bell sounded, Old Master Zheng would enter through another entrance. If he was hit, even if Zheng Ji was his grandson, he would not have a good ending.

When he thought of this possibility, Zheng Ji became extremely anxious.

His body trembled violently, and he was terrified of this grandfather of his.

Zheng Ji was up there, and because of the fear, he could not move at all. Zhong Wentao was down there, using his own head to lift up Zheng Ji's body, barely able to carry him forward.

It took them thirty minutes to get down and fifteen minutes to get up. It was obvious that the two of them were very worried.

With much difficulty to push open the template, Zheng Ji quickly laid on the bed with his face full of sweat.

Zhong Wentao was in charge of tidying up the bed, and just as he placed the bed sheets on the chair, Old Master Zheng immediately pushed open the door and walked in.

"Grandfather?"

Zheng Ji looked very weak, as if he didn't understand why Old Master Zheng had appeared.

"How are you?"

The old man unnaturally opened his mouth and walked over to check on Zheng Ji's situation.

When the old man had his back towards him, Zhong Wentao then quickly raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face, trying his best to look calmer.
