The spring sunshine shines through the windows into the large tea room.
Feng Yi looked at the pile of paper in front of him, his face tensed, sweat dripping down his forehead.
An hour ago, he was a miserable young man in trouble due to his partner's betrayal and huge debts.
And now...
Feng Yi glanced at the old man across the table. From his clothes to his hair, he was meticulous. He looked like an old gentleman, with a smile. Even the curve of the corner of his mouth seemed to be measured. One point more would be too deliberate, and one point less would be too deliberate.
It seemed perfunctory, as if what was on the table was just a stack of menus instead of a property transfer agreement worth over 100 million.
When Feng Yi was in trouble and almost despairing, the old man in front of him appeared in front of him and told him that he had an aunt he had never met before, who passed away not long ago and left him a huge inheritance.
As an adult who had just experienced social beatings, Feng Yi did not believe that pie would fall from the sky, and it would happen by such a coincidence!
So when encountering this matter, Feng Yi's first thought was -
Damn liar!
But now, when Feng Yi faced the property transfer agreement on the table, he actually believed 70% of it.
Of course, there are also the factors of the three lawyers sitting not far away. These three are all well-known lawyers in this city. You can find a lot of information about these three by searching online. One of them
We also briefly interacted with Feng Yi.
Why not Quanxin?
What was placed in front of him was a property transfer agreement rather than a will. According to the old housekeeper, Feng Yi's great-aunt, whom he had never met, gave the portion of the property that was divided to him directly to the old housekeeper, and then
The old housekeeper transferred these properties to Feng Yi in batches without setting a time limit or requiring a specific amount.
This operation seemed very confusing to Feng Yi.
I have no idea why my great-aunt gave away the inheritance in this way.
Is the old housekeeper so trustworthy? Even more trustworthy than her children?
If they are the children and grandchildren of great-aunt, no matter which one comes here, they can still understand that they are all related by blood.
But, an old butler?
The first batch of money that the old butler transferred to Feng Yi was 100 million. The premise was that Feng Yi had to do one thing - go to the Feng family's ancestral home and write Feng Yi's name on the family tree.
Let’s not talk about the “Feng Family Ancestral House” that Feng Yi had never heard of.
"Genealogy"?
This kind of thing still exists?
How old is it that there is still a family tree?
But putting all this aside, you can get 100 million just by finding your ancestral home and writing your name. Isn’t this too simple?
He doesn't believe it.
But, one hundred million...
Saddled with debt, he really needs it now.
After a while, Feng Yi struggled to move his eyes away from the paper, and wiped the sweat from his palms with his lowered hands on his trouser legs, "...I'll go to the bathroom first."
The old man sitting opposite smiled understandingly and nodded slightly, "Please do."
Feng Yi walked out of the tea room stiffly, all composure was gone, and his breathing was rapid. He quickly walked into the bathroom, closed the door, rushed to the sink, turned on the faucet, and splashed cold water on his face.
The cold water didn't wake him up either.
Very good, it's not a dream.
Feng Yi looked at himself in the mirror.
After many days of insomnia and the pressure of debt, he had not rested for a long time, and his bloodshot eyeballs turned a scary scarlet color under the emotional stimulation.
After flushing his face again and drying his hands in a hurry, Feng Yi took out his mobile phone in his pocket. The more than 10 missed calls displayed on it were all for payment collection.
Ignoring those, Feng Yi opened the address book and looked at two of the phone numbers. He had not dialed these two phone numbers since he left the Feng family five years ago. He hesitated and dialed one of them.
It rang for a long time but no one answered.
When I dialed another one, it just rang twice and then it cut off.
Not surprisingly.
Feng Yi breathed out softly.
People still have to rely on themselves!
Put your phone in your pocket.
I wiped my face with cold water, tidied myself up, and returned to the tea room.
The heated brain has cooled down a bit. There is still a slight tremor in my voice when I listen carefully, but my speech is not as stuttering as before. When facing the old housekeeper, my smile has become natural. In fact, I am still a lot of chaos on the inside, but on the face I must
Gotta hold on steady.
"Sorry for the long wait."
"It doesn't matter." The old housekeeper looked at Feng Yi's current state, and the smile on his face deepened, "Have you thought about it?"
"Well, after thinking calmly for a while, I still have a lot of doubts. The timing of your appearance is so coincidental, I almost suspect that you did it on purpose." Feng Yi tried.
"No, I originally planned an observation period of one to two years. I started paying attention to you last month. This is the second month. I knew you were in a lot of trouble, so I contacted you in advance." The old housekeeper
Explain in a leisurely manner.
Feng Yi didn't know whether this was true or not, so he asked about his great-aunt whom he had never met before.
The old housekeeper said briefly.
Feng Yi learned that his great-aunt went abroad a long time ago and had children. She mainly developed her career abroad, but she also had industries in the country. When the property was divided, she left part of it for Feng Yi. After her death, she was also buried abroad. Feng Yi wanted to
You have to go abroad to worship.
Any more will be gone.
The old housekeeper didn't want to say more.
"I want to know, the Feng family is a big family. There are so many brothers and sisters of my generation here in China, why did they choose me?" Feng Yi asked.
The old housekeeper looked at him with a smile, as if looking at a milk cat that had just been picked up from the roadside: "Ms. Feng said that you have the most pleasing appearance."
Feng Yi touched his awl face.
"She has such good taste!"
This is the first time in his life that an old man has said that he looks pleasant!
I've often heard people say that he looks like a "love-minded person who's not lucky", but at first I was surprised when I heard him being praised for his "likable looks".
Feng Yi also thinks that he is handsome enough. There are many stars with awl faces in the entertainment industry, and many with sharp faces than him. However, the elders seem to prefer traditional "lucky faces", or faces that look more stable and upright.
.
but……
It doesn’t matter what my face looks like, as long as I’m handsome, that’s it!
Feng Yi is not completely narcissistic.
When I was a freshman, I went to a barber shop to get a haircut, and the store manager personally approached him for cooperation. I often received invitations to activities from multiple clubs at school.
When he was a sophomore, he expanded the scope of cooperation to earn money for his tuition and housing, including barber shops, photo studios, clothing and accessories stores, and even the largest hot pot restaurant on the commercial street outside the school asked him to take photos for billboard promotions.
In the second semester of his junior year, he co-opened a small studio. He no longer worked alone, and he saved enough money to own his first apartment. He was considered a winner in life among ordinary students of the same age.
In his senior year, he was lucky enough to squeeze into the crew of an online drama, and he played the role of "Snake Spirit", which was not a heavy role. Unexpectedly, he had better luck later! The online drama became a hit at the beginning of this year, and he also used that role to gain popularity on the Internet.
By gaining a sense of presence, I finally stepped into a corner of the entertainment industry.
Originally he was doing well and his career was definitely on the rise. He also planned to take advantage of the situation and rush into the entertainment industry to make some money. Unexpectedly, he was stabbed at a critical moment - the partner caused a series of accidents and then ran away with the money.
Already.
Feng Yi faced angry partners and huge liquidated damages and various compensations alone.
Therefore, he is currently in a situation where he is heavily in debt and is in urgent need of this money.
If he were not in a difficult situation, even if 100 million were placed in front of him, he would think twice. His experience told him not to be too naive. If he did not have enough endurance, even a pie falling from the sky would kill him.
He has the most lovable appearance? So he left a lot of money to him?
Who are you bluffing?
100 million, how big a pit is waiting for him behind this!
However, even though he knew there was a trap, he still had to step into it.
No matter how much he complained in his heart, Feng Yi just smiled on his face and continued to ask: "Where is the ancestral home of the Feng family? Is it the century-old villa in Yangcheng?"
The old housekeeper chuckled, as if he was dismissive of the century-old villa that Feng Yi mentioned.
"The outer suburbs of Yangcheng, Xiaofeng Mountain."
Feng Yi thought to himself: Sure enough, I have never heard of it.
He was born and raised in Yangcheng. He did not leave Yangcheng until he left the Feng family after the college entrance examination and came to Rongcheng to attend college. He never went back. Xiaofengshan seemed to be somewhat impressed, but not deeply.
But this is the first time I heard about the Feng family’s ancestral home on Xiaofeng Mountain.
In front of the old housekeeper, Feng Yi took out his mobile phone and searched for relevant information about Xiaofengshan in Yangcheng, then fell silent.
I knew it wouldn't be easy, but I didn't expect the challenge to be really difficult.
Xiaofeng Mountain is also called Snake Mountain by the locals because there are so many snakes there.
I get goosebumps all over my body when I see those pictures posted online.
Feng Yi hated snakes, but in order to survive this difficulty, what did snakes mean?
Besides, most of the snakes in Xiaofeng Mountain are non-venomous cauliflower snakes, and there are also isolation zones on Xiaofeng Mountain.
"Is there anyone guarding the ancestral house?" Feng Yi asked.
The old man seemed quite satisfied with Feng Yi's reaction, and smiled slightly, "Of course, someone has to take care of it. But don't worry, I have already said hello to the guard."
Feng Yi nodded, from this point of view, it is not too difficult.
"I have to explain that I left the Feng family after the college entrance examination." After a pause, Feng Yi added, "The ideas are different."
People who left the Feng family went to the ancestral home of the Feng family to look up the family tree and add their names. It was a slap in the face and it must be extremely difficult. Referring to the situation in historical dramas on TV, Feng Yi had to plan carefully.
The old housekeeper heard Feng Yi's concerns and said, "Don't worry, the genealogy has nothing to do with the Feng family over there. Ms. Feng personally placed the genealogy into your Feng family's ancestral home, and no one else knew about it."
Feng Yi raised his eyebrows.
This doesn't sound right.
The genealogy placed in the Feng family’s ancestral home has nothing to do with the Feng family over there?
Is this a boundary?
Feng Yi wondered whether there was any "family separation" conflict between his grandfather and great-aunt's generation.
The old housekeeper sitting opposite handed over a zodiac sign to spend money on.
Feng Yi was no stranger to this kind of metal coin that looked like a small accessory. He had worn one around his neck since he was a child.
One side of the money is the twelve earthly branches and the corresponding zodiac signs, and the other side is the Bagua chart.
In the Feng family, only people born in the Year of the Snake can spend money with such a zodiac sign.
Feng Yi took out the money he was wearing, and saw the money originally held in the old butler's hand flew out of his hand and stuck together with the money he was wearing.
The two coins overlap and the patterns on them rotate.
A layer of golden light flashed through, making Feng Yi unable to see the patterns on the money.
After a soft click, it stopped.
Looking again, there is no trace of the stacking of two round coins. Compared with before, the thickness of the coins has increased slightly, and the original side of the twelve earthly branches and zodiac signs is only left with almost an entire side.
Snake pattern!
Feng Yi couldn't control his expression this time, his eyes widened, he took off the money, looked at it front and back, and picked it with his fingers.
It really becomes one!
"This... new technology?" Feng Yi asked the old housekeeper opposite while holding up the money.
"Old technology." The old housekeeper said, "You also wear it when you go to the ancestral home. It is the key to the family tree."
"key?"
Feng Yi realized that perhaps this "genealogy" was different from what he thought.
He had never paid attention to the technology sector, and he didn't know what magical technologies there were today. Hearing what the old butler said, he sighed for a while that technology was changing with each passing day. No matter whether it was new technology or old technology, what shocked people was Niu X technology.
At least he was shocked.
At the same time, a hundred thousand vigilance arose in my heart.
With such powerful technology being used, things will definitely not be as simple as they appear.
But the agreement was still signed. In his current situation, this is the best solution.
After the agreement was signed, the old housekeeper left quickly. Before leaving, he left a mobile phone number for Feng Yi to contact him if he had anything to do.
After the old housekeeper and the lawyers left, Feng Yi sat alone in the tea room for a while to calm down before leaving the store. Otherwise, if he was in a daze and his mind was too high, he would easily have an accident while driving.
But as soon as he left the store, a cool breeze blew, and Feng Yi suddenly stopped in his tracks. He remembered something.
A slap on the forehead.
"I forgot the most important thing!"
Quickly take out your phone and send a message to the number you just saved——
