Chapter 567 Goodbye Wooden Box

After You Qian and the others left, Liu Hongguang looked at Yu Daohen and the other person and asked, "How is she doing now?"

Yu Daohen knew she was referring to Liu Jiawen and replied, "She seems to be doing well."

From Liu Hongguang's expression just now, Yu Daohen sensed that Liu Hongguang seemed to know Liu Jiawen a long time ago, and they both had the surname Liu.

If he guessed correctly, they must be related in some way.

Hearing this answer, Liu Hongguang nodded with satisfaction, feeling much relieved. He glanced at the bank card on the table and said, "There shouldn't be a hundred million in this card, right?"

Both of them were embarrassed when their little trick was exposed. Yu Daohen truthfully confessed, "It seems Mr. Liu already knew."

Yu Daohen also saw that Liu Hongguang intended to give this to them.

Otherwise, he would have agreed to the two hundred million earlier.

"Please wait a moment, I'll get the item for you from the back room." Liu Hongguang said, then got up and walked towards a room at the back.

After Liu Hongguang left, Su Lai looked at Yu Daohen and asked, "Master Yu, do you think Liu Hongguang knows Liu Jiawen?"

Yu Daohen gave him a speechless look, "Nonsense, have you ever seen anyone refuse two hundred million and choose this bank card with no money?"

Su Lai thought about it, but he was also curious about the relationship between Liu Hongguang and Liu Jiawen.

After a while, Liu Hongguang came out holding a small black wooden box.

Yu Daohen frowned as he looked at the wooden box in Liu Hongguang's hand.

Is this the real thing Liu Jiawen asked them to get?

Liu Hongguang walked up to them and placed the black wooden box on the coffee table, "I'll give this to you two."

Yu Daohen looked at the talismans pasted on the black wooden box and felt increasingly familiar.

Three Earth Fiend Talismans!?

Yu Daohen suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen these talismans somewhere before. His face instantly turned grim, and his hands couldn't help but tremble.

This was exactly the same as the black wooden box he had seen in the basement last time, also pasted with three Earth Fiend Talismans.

The only difference was the size. The last one was a square box over a meter long, while this one was only about twenty centimeters.

Last time he saw a whole piece, but this time it was only a part!?

Yu Daohen couldn't believe he would encounter such a thing here.

Seeing Yu Daohen's strange expression, Su Lai put away his usual flippancy and asked, "Master Yu, do you know what's inside?"

Su Lai could feel that Yu Daohen's expression had changed since he saw the black wooden box.

His face was full of fear, no, it was more like disgust than fear.

"Inside... is a living thing!" Yu Daohen stared at the black wooden box and said slowly.

"A living thing?" Liu Hongguang and Su Lai were both surprised.

Liu Hongguang had never opened the black wooden box since he received it, and he didn't know what was inside.

"Could it be some kind of ghost or monster?" Su Lai asked.

If it's a living thing, there are only these two possibilities.

Yu Daohen shook his head, "It's neither a ghost nor a monster."

Hearing this, Su Lai's brows furrowed. If it wasn't a ghost or a monster, there was only one possibility left.

It was a person inside!

Yu Daohen seemed unwilling to talk more about this topic, and he looked at Su Lai sternly, "Believe me, you will regret it once you know!"

Seeing that even Master Yu detested it, Su Lai became even more curious.

But as the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat. No matter how curious he was, he could only give up the idea of asking further.

After thinking, Su Lai looked at Liu Hongguang and teased, "Mr. Liu, are you really willing to give it to us?"

Liu Hongguang shook his head helplessly, "This thing was originally something I owed her, so I'm just returning it. I'd be very satisfied with five or six million."

Su Lai and Yu Daohen exchanged glances, both looking at the bank card on the table with embarrassment.

Liu Hongguang immediately noticed something was wrong when he saw their embarrassed expressions, and his heart sank halfway, "It can't be only one or two million, can it?"

Hearing this, the two of them chuckled awkwardly without making a sound.

Seeing that they remained silent, Liu Hongguang knew something was wrong.

"Oh no, I've been tricked by these two brats."

To be honest, Liu Hongguang almost lost his composure when he saw the two hundred million on the table.

But his conscience ultimately resisted the temptation of the two hundred million.

This thing wasn't his to begin with, and now giving it to Liu Jiawen was like returning it to its rightful owner.

There is no one in this world who doesn't love money, and Liu Hongguang was no exception.

He thought he could make a small profit of five or six million from this card, which would also provide some comfort.

But he never expected this.

"Well, there isn't even a hundred thousand in it, is there?" Liu Hongguang asked tentatively.

Seeing them still smiling awkwardly and remaining silent, Liu Hongguang felt as if his heart had been thrown into an ice cellar, filled with regret.

If he had known, he wouldn't have pretended to be righteous; it was all his conscience's fault.

"Tell me, how much money is actually in this card?" Liu Hongguang asked, his heart ashen. If he had a chance to do it all over again, he would definitely choose the two hundred million.

Su Lai awkwardly scratched the back of his head and said sheepishly, "One yuan and two jiao."

Hearing this, Liu Hongguang almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He was thinking.

Mr. Liu hadn't gone far yet, should he take back the box and chase after him to sell it to him?

Seeing that Liu Hongguang was having second thoughts, Su Lai and Yu Daohen quickly got up to say goodbye.

Su Lai held the wooden box and smiled, "It's getting late, so we won't bother you any longer."

Liu Hongguang knew in his heart that it was too late to go back on his word.

The two hundred million he had almost secured had just flown away.

Two hundred million! Two hundred million!!

Liu Hongguang's expression was like a gorilla in a zoo, holding a banana and about to eat it, only to have it snatched away by the zookeeper. It was as unsightly as it could get.

Actually, it couldn't be blamed on him. After all, two hundred million had just disappeared, and anyone would find it unacceptable.

Su Lai and Yu Daohen exchanged glances.

Su Lai: "Go?"

Yu Daohen: "Go!"

The two turned and walked towards the door. Just as they were about to step out, Su Lai suddenly stopped.

Yu Daohen looked at him in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Oh no, I almost forgot the main business," Su Lai said, handing the box in his hand to Yu Daohen, "Master Yu, could you hold this for me?"

"Put it on the ground. I'm not touching this thing," Yu Daohen raised his hand to stop him, his face full of confusion, "Is there anything else you haven't done?"

Su Lai didn't answer and placed the box on the ground, then turned back.

Yu Daohen looked at this guy in a daze, wondering what he was trying to do.

Su Lai walked up to Liu Hongguang, extended a hand, and said, "You still owe me eight hundred yuan. Debts must be repaid. Hurry up and return the eight hundred yuan."
