Hong Kong Comprehensive: The Rise of the King
Chapter 369 Gold Bricks
"I don't know. A group of people suddenly rushed out. They were well-equipped, with helicopters and armored vehicles. Even the mercenaries couldn't protect them. The master didn't even have time to react before he was killed."
The old butler said in a deep voice.
After hearing this, Bao Lai was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly thought of something and said hurriedly, "Quick, quick, book me a boat ticket. I want to leave Taiguo."
Baolai's brain works quickly. No matter who kills the Eight-Faced Buddha, they will definitely choose to eliminate the root of the problem.
As the son of the Eight-Faced Buddha, he would be the first to be killed, so he had to leave Taiguo as soon as possible. "Hurry up. Pack all of these and take them away."
Although Bao Lai was determined to leave Taiguo, he couldn't just take his clothes and leave. He also had to take all the valuables in the manor with him.
After all, once you leave, you can’t tell when you will be able to come back.
Bao Lai is not a fool. Once his father, Eight-Faced Buddha, dies, all the generals under his command will surely have their own ideas. It is absolutely impossible for them to be as loyal to him as they were to Eight-Faced Buddha.
Bao Lai knew that the best option for him now was to leave Taiguo and never come back.
Otherwise, even if he was not hunted down by the people who killed the Eight-Faced Buddha, those powerful generals would not necessarily let him go. Using the emperor to control the princes is not only practiced in China, but also in Taiguo.
Therefore, after all this trouble, it was not until the evening that Baolai and the old butler packed up the valuables in the manor and loaded them into the car to set off.
Baolai and the old butler were sitting in a Rolls-Royce in the front, followed by several large trucks loaded with valuables.
In addition, a large number of servants in the manor also left with them.
The convoy quickly left the manor and did not take the main road at Bao Lai's request. He was worried about encountering people chasing them, so he chose a remote path.
This kind of road cannot be found on the map, and only people who are familiar with the area know about it. Baolai thinks this is safer.
"Have you bought the boat ticket?" Bao Lai asked the old butler in the car.
The old butler nodded and said, "It's ready."
"How long will it take to get there?" Bao Lai asked again.
The old housekeeper looked at his watch and said, "It will take about six hours. If we take the main road, we can get there faster in four hours."
Bao Lai shook his head. "Six hours is six hours. It's safer to take the small road."
The old butler didn't say anything when he heard this. He was very loyal to Baolai. He had taken care of Baolai since he was a child and treated him like his half son.
"Young Master, what should we do about the master's revenge?" the old butler suddenly said, with some grief and anger in his eyes.
"I will plan this slowly after I settle down. I will definitely avenge my father. Whoever killed my father will have to pay the price."
Bao Lai said in a deep voice with hatred flashing in his eyes.
"Young master is right. Only by surviving can you have a future." The old butler sighed.
Two hours later, the night gradually deepened and rain began to fall from the sky.
It started out as a drizzle, which gradually grew heavier and eventually turned into a downpour. The raindrops almost formed a line and fell, hitting the car with a crackling sound.
There is a big difference between country roads and highways. There are no asphalt roads here, only dirt roads.
Under normal circumstances, the road might just be a little bumpy, but at this time it was raining heavily and the dirt road quickly became muddy under the rain, and the car often slipped on it.
Especially since Baolai was driving a Rolls-Royce, a car that is only suitable for city roads and is very difficult to drive on country dirt roads.
The same is true for the large trucks in the convoy behind. Because they are loaded with so much stuff and their weight is so great, the dirt road is full of potholes and they often get stuck in the mud.
At this time, the convoy had to stop and the servants pushed the trucks out before they could continue moving forward.
Therefore, the convoy stopped and started for two hours and did not go very far.
Bao Lai was a little anxious, "When will we get there at this rate?"
"Master, don't worry. It's raining so hard now. Even if someone comes after us, it will be difficult to walk.
Besides, the night and rain can also cover our tracks, and they can't imagine that we will take the small road."
The old butler said slowly beside him.
Hearing this, Bao Lai put aside some of his worries and urged the servants, "Hurry up and get it done, and get on the road."
"Yes, Master."
The servants at the back pushed the truck even harder.
The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier. Bao Lai looked at the dark night sky outside the car window, and gradually felt uneasy.
He felt as if something bad was about to happen.
At this moment, the body of the Rolls-Royce suddenly tilted and stopped.
"What happened?" Bao Lai asked hurriedly.
The driver rolled down the window, looked outside, and replied, "Master, the road is too difficult to drive on. The wheels are stuck in a hole."
"Hurry up and get it done. I'm a little uneasy." Bao Lai urged.
The driver responded without thinking too much about it. After all, it was normal for wheels to get stuck in the mud on this kind of road.
Just think that Baolai is young and timid.
The driver pushed open the car door and planned to put a wooden board under the wheel to make it easier to drive out.
But just as he got out of the car, he heard a muffled sound coming from the dense woods on both sides of the road.
puff.
The driver fell to the ground with a bloody hole on his head.
Inside the car, because it was so dark, Baolai and the old butler thought the driver had accidentally slipped and did not take it seriously.
In the dense forest, a group of people crouched and slowly approached the convoy.
The leader was Tian Yangyi. All of them were wearing raincoats and holding automatic weapons with silencers.
They had been lying in ambush here for a long time, and now everyone's face had turned pale from the rain and they were feeling very uncomfortable.
But finally we waited for Baolai and his group, so the meal was worth it.
"Kill them all. Don't let any one go."
Tian Yangsheng gave the order with a grim smile.
The elite killers under his command immediately rushed towards the convoy like wild horses.
"There is a situation."
In addition to the servants, there was also a group of bodyguards led by Bao Lai in the convoy. These people were more alert than others, so when they discovered the elite killers rushing over, they took out firearms and fought back.
But there is a saying: Hit high and hit low, hit the sand.
The terrain here is in the shape of a U-shaped U, with the dirt road at the lowest point, small dirt slopes on both sides, and a large number of trees.
Looking down from a high place, Tian Yangsheng and the others were in the dark. The convoy was illuminated by the car lights, making them almost obvious targets.
Not long after the two sides exchanged fire, all the bodyguards in the convoy were eliminated. Bao Lai, who was trembling in the Rolls-Royce, was also grabbed by the collar and dragged in front of Tian Yangyi.
"Are you the son of the Eight-Faced Buddha?"
Tian Yangyi looked at Bao Lai with interest.
"No, no, I don't know what you are talking about." Bao Lai hurriedly denied.
"Hahaha, you still want to lie when the time comes?"
Tian Yangyi was not in a hurry. He took out a photo from his pocket and compared it with Baolai.
"And you still say this isn't you?"
After saying that, he slapped Baolai in the face, causing the latter to stagger.
"It's me, it's me. I admit it. As long as you don't kill me, you can ask me to do anything you want..." Bao Lai's lie was exposed and he immediately begged for mercy in a low voice.
He had only said half of his words when he heard a gunshot and Tian Yangyi had already pulled the trigger.
"If you have anything to say, go down and talk to your father." Tian Yangyi kicked Baolai's body to the ground.
Rooting out the problem has always been Sheng Jiale's code of conduct, so after killing the Eight-Faced Buddha, he will not let go of either his subordinates or his son.
"Deal with the remaining people as well, and check if there is anything valuable in the car and take them away as well." Tian Yangyi gave the order.
On the other side, in the doctor's manor.
"Ding."
“Congratulations to the host for completing the opportunity mission issued by the system: Kill the Eight-Faced Buddha.
Reward for completing the task: Get the address of the treasure place of the Eight-Faced Buddha. "
Hearing the system prompt that the task was completed, Sheng Jiale smiled. The reward for this task was the address of the Eight-Faced Buddha's treasure. With the latter's power, the treasure must be extraordinary. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be able to make a fortune again.
Sheng Jiale was in a good mood and happily quickened his movements.
He was in the kitchen at this time, preparing a sumptuous dinner for the doctor.
Soon, Sheng Jiale prepared the food, arranged it exquisitely, and brought it to the table.
Sheng Jiale lit two more candles, turned off the lights, and then quietly walked out and said to the doctor in the living room, "It's time to eat."
"What are you doing? Why did it take so long?" The doctor smiled slightly and walked over with cat steps.
"I'll keep you in suspense for now. Close your eyes."
Sheng Jiale covered the doctor's eyes and said, "Go slowly. I'll give you a surprise."
"What? You're being so secretive about eating."
The doctor said with a smile, but did not open his eyes. He obediently followed Sheng Jiale into the restaurant.
"Okay, do it."
Sheng Jiale put the doctor on the chair, sat down next to him, and said, "You can open your eyes now."
"Candlelight dinner, do you like it?" Sheng Jiale asked.
The doctor was delighted when he saw the exquisitely presented dishes, which were even more perfect than those made by a Michelin three-star chef, and the dim candlelight.
The doctor was very moved by what Sheng Jiale had arranged. He couldn't help but hug Sheng Jiale and said excitedly, "Thank you, I like it very much. You must have been busy for a long time for these, right?"
"It's nothing, as long as you like it." Sheng Jiale rubbed the doctor's cheek.
“I like your romance.”
The doctor looked at Sheng Jiale, with tears in his eyes.
"Okay, stop looking at me and eat."
Sheng Jiale opened a bottle of red wine, poured some for the doctor, and urged.
"it is good."
The doctor happily clinked glasses with Sheng Jiale, and then enjoyed the delicious dishes.
The doctor enjoyed this candlelight dinner very much. On the one hand, it was because Sheng Jiale had god-level cooking skills and the dishes were cooked to perfection; on the other hand, the doctor was moved by the romance.
After all, women are emotional creatures. Once they are touched, they can eat even the rotten vegetables with relish.
the next day.
"It's time to go check out the treasure hiding place."
Sheng Jiale brought Tian Yangsheng to the Eight-Faced Buddha's manor.
After yesterday's fighting, many places here have become ruins and many walls are covered with bullet holes.
Fortunately, most of the bloodstains and corpses have been dealt with, and it looks quite pleasing to the eye.
Sheng Jiale brought his men and went straight into the villa.
Following the system's instructions, he wandered around the villa for a while and soon found the location where the Eight-Faced Buddha's treasure was hidden.
The entrance to the treasure is very hidden. It is in a wine cabinet with dozens of bottles of red wine piled up here. Only one of the bottles of red wine is a mechanism.
It needs to be rotated in a specific direction, and the number of rotations also has certain requirements. It is very complicated and difficult to find if you don't know the inside story.
After Sheng Jiale finished doing all this, he heard a clear sound of "clicking", and a huge oil painting hanging on the other wall unfolded to one side, revealing a dark room behind it.
"Got you."
Sheng Jiale smiled slightly and walked over.
After entering the secret room, Sheng Jiale's eyes suddenly lit up.
The space in the secret cabinet is not big. After all, it is hidden in the villa. If one wants to do it without anyone noticing, the space is naturally limited.
However, this limited space is packed full.
The first thing that caught Sheng Jiale's eyes was a large pile of colorful banknotes. There were so many of them that they were neatly stacked together, one stack after another, forming a huge cube.
Each banknote was extremely smooth, without any signs of use, and it looked like they had just been withdrawn from the bank and transferred here.
Sheng Jiale took a quick glance and found that the amount of banknotes alone was worth a lot of money.
However, this is not the highlight of the secret chamber. There are two large boxes stacked next to the banknotes.
Sheng Jiale walked over and opened the box, only to see all kinds of precious jewels inside.
There are huge pearls that are pure white, and there are also various colorful gems. These are valuable things in the outside world, but here they are piled up in the boxes like garbage.
It was obvious that the Eight-Faced Buddha didn't care about these things at all and was too lazy to even prepare some small boxes.
"good."
Sheng Jiale nodded slightly. The quality of these jewels was very high. They could be sold for a large sum of money, and he could also keep some for his women.
Sheng Jiale moved his eyes and saw another black cloth bag next to him.
The bag is not big, about the size of a lady's handbag.
"What's in it?" Sheng Jiale muttered curiously and walked over to open the bag.
Hundreds of dazzling diamonds come into view, sparkling and translucent under the light, reflecting alluring light.
"Good guy."
There were so many diamonds and their weights were unclear, so Sheng Jiale poured the diamonds onto the floor and made a small cone-shaped pile.
The diamonds here are not ordinary stuff. Both in terms of texture and weight, they are all of rare grade. There are also certificates next to them to prove that these diamonds are from regular channels.
Diamonds are different from gold and are not hard currency. Therefore, if there is no certificate, their value will be greatly reduced.
But now it’s different. Sheng Jiale picked up the certificate and took a few glances at it, and he knew that each of these diamonds was priceless.
"That old guy, Eight-Faced Buddha, really has made a lot of interesting things." Sheng Jiale put the diamond away and looked to the side.
A small pyramid built purely of gold bricks attracted his attention.
The gold brick lay there quietly, with a dim glow on its surface, appearing very stable.
As a globally accepted hard currency, the value of gold is unquestionable. No wonder the Eight-Faced Buddha stored so much of it.
Each gold brick weighs one kilogram and is all cast in a standard manner. They look extremely regular and are stacked there, which is pleasing to the eye.
Sheng Jiale took a piece and weighed it in his hand. It felt good. This thing could definitely kill someone if thrown out.
Putting down the gold bricks, in addition to these, there are also many various things in the secret cabinet, all of which are antiques and cultural relics.
Among them are those from China, Thailand, Victoria, Columbia, Neon and other places.
Sheng Jiale didn't recognize most of them, but even with his layman's eyes, he could see that these were all treasures of historical value, and taking out any one of them would cause a sensation.
Sheng Jiale stood there, looking back and forth at these things, with a wild smile on his face.
"It was worth it this time."
If all these things were sold, they would be worth at least tens of billions. Sheng Jiale was already very happy.
This amount of money cannot be ignored even considering his current net worth.
"Eight-Faced Buddha, I really want to thank you." Sheng Jiale couldn't help but laugh. (End of this chapter)
