After all, Wang Xiaomei is not a vegetarian, and can be regarded as a good person. After observing various signs of Xu Peiwen, she seems to have discovered that Xu Peiwen came to her this time not to get back together with her at all, but because of the box.
Of course, the more you want to get that box, Wang Xiaomei will certainly not make it so easy for him.
After all, how could Xu Peiwen's avoidance of himself over the years be made up for with just a box?
But now Xu Peiwen was really panicked and didn't care too much. He directly asked Wang Xiaomei:
"Xiaomei, don't make such a joke with me. Tell me, is that box still with you?"
"Did you say that just to make me angry?"
"I know it was my fault before, but sometimes I am helpless. Please don't make such a joke with me, okay?"
"Yo?" Seeing how nervous Xu Peiwen was, Wang Xiaomei seemed to understand the root of the problem.
Co-author Xu Peiwen came here today, and it was indeed for that box.
Any idea of opening a store and doing business in Jiangnan City is bullshit.
After sorting out her emotions, Wang Xiaomei also smiled and said: "I said Xu Peiwen, the box was thrown away, what's the matter? Is there still a secret?"
"Look at you, you've never been sincere to me, and you won't tell me the truth about many things."
"On the surface, everything you do is for me. In fact, I can see through it. It's all for yourself."
At the end of her speech, Wang Xiaomei's mood quickly rose.
Xu Peiwen saw that he had offended this aunt, so he quickly apologized: "Xiaomei, I...I didn't mean that, I meant, I meant..."
"What are you talking about? What else do you have to say?" Wang Xiaomei is also unreasonable and feels that if you don't be tougher on you now, you won't care about yourself at all.
Xu Peiwen was also a scholar who encountered soldiers, so he couldn't explain why.
Now, in front of Wang Xiaomei, I don't have any airs.
After trying hard to calm down, Xu Peiwen said slowly:
"Okay, let me tell you the truth. That thing is not mine. It was actually stored with me by my friend. At that time, I had difficulties and had to leave you."
"So, before I leave you, I have repeatedly warned you to keep that box."
"But now, just throw the box away. Oh, my aunt, you are in big trouble."
When she heard the words "causing big trouble", Wang Xiaomei's eyes froze obviously, and she seemed to realize the seriousness of the problem.
After a moment, she slowly said: "Xu Peiwen, I'm not scared. Do you need to use such despicable means to scare me?"
"I'm telling you, don't do this to me."
"What's wrong with me? I'm saying this for your own good, but you're still not happy?" Feeling unreasonable to Wang Xiaomei, Xu Peiwen tried to calm down and then said:
"I said, I'll give you the full scoop. If you lose this thing, you may be killed."
"Because you don't know clearly. Before, I felt that you were someone I could trust, so I gave that thing to you. But now, you're in trouble! I really don't know, what do you think?"
Perhaps Xu Peiwen's words had made her feel that something was wrong. After Wang Xiaomei paused for a few seconds, she slowly said:
"Xu Peiwen, can't you make it clearer? It's not a treasure, how can it lead to the disaster of killing?"
"Let me tell you this, that thing belongs to a big brother. That thing may be worthless to you, but it is very important to him."
"Besides, that box actually hides a secret."
"Hidden secret?" It felt like Xu Peiwen didn't seem to be lying when he said this.
So, Wang Xiaomei also asked sincerely: "What is the mystery? Tell me and listen."
The conversation between the two also ended here, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
In the next room, Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha were also quietly waiting for the results.
After a while, Xu Peiwen said slowly: "This box is actually a treasure box."
"No...no, just wait a minute." As if she felt something was wrong, Wang Xiaomei immediately interrupted Xu Peiwen's words and continued to ask:
"You said this thing is a treasure chest?"
"Yeah." Xu Peiwen nodded.
"Still hiding a secret?" Wang Xiaomei asked again.
Xu Peiwen continued to nod.
But this time Wang Xiaomei quit and said angrily: "Xu Peiwen, Xu Peiwen, even if I am deceived by you again and again, you can't treat me as a fool, right?"
"Still hiding a treasure chest? Still hiding secrets? Bah!"
"Huh? Why are you still..." It felt like Wang Xiaomei was really going to fall out this time, and Xu Peiwen finally told the truth: "Let me ask you, have you seen the special symbol on that box?"
"Ah? Talisman...symbol?" She seemed to be remembering something? Wang Xiaomei was stunned for a few seconds, and then she said again:
"Why should I remember that thing? I didn't see it."
"Didn't you see it? You... think about it carefully." Xu Peiwen suppressed his anger this time and drank a glass of wine.
After Wang Xiaomei thought for a moment, she slowly said: "I seem to have seen it before, but isn't that the pattern on the box?"
"What kind of pattern is it? It's obviously a special symbol." Xu Peiwen also said angrily.
When Wang Xiaomei heard this, she nodded slowly and admitted: "Okay, it's a special symbol, but I can't understand it either?"
"If you can understand it, it means nothing." After saying this, Xu Peiwen drank another glass of wine.
Wang Xiaomei couldn't sit still, so she pulled Xu Peiwen's arm and asked:
"Is it really that serious?"
"Of course." Xu Peiwen put down the small wine glass and shook his head helplessly: "I can't afford to offend that big brother. Anyway, he is a ruthless person among ruthless people."
"Before, he did some illegal business, and he was afraid that bank transfers would trace his ill-gotten gains."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "So, secretly exchange those ill-gotten gains into gold. After all, gold is the best to preserve its value."
"So, he scattered and buried these things in some secret places."
"How secretive are these places?" Wang Xiaomei heard this and immediately moved her seat towards Xu Peiwen and asked.
Xu Peiwen sighed and said helplessly: "It's so secretive that even the eldest brother himself doesn't know much about it."
"However, he is a smart man, so he used his own understanding to make these things into some special symbols."
"Of course, this special symbol is difficult for outsiders to understand, because only I know it."
"Don't you even know?" Wang Xiaomei was deeply suspicious after hearing what Xu Peiwen said.
But Xu Peiwen nodded silently and couldn't help but said: "Yes, I don't know either."
"Because that big brother has his own set of rules for doing things, so I can't understand the special meaning of that special symbol at all."
"For example, he drew a symbol that looks like an earthworm. You think it is an earthworm, but it is probably the winding shape of a path he recorded to hide treasures."
"Also, triangles and circles all represent special meanings. He must have his own formulas, such as triangles representing the top of a house and so on."
With a faint sigh, Xu Peiwen said again: "It's just because I don't understand these things about him that I'm troubled."
"However, I can say with certainty that this guy will not let anyone guess his thoughts."
"After all, he doesn't trust anyone at all. He only trusts himself. Even a close confidant like me has something to hide."
With a heavy sigh, Xu Peiwen continued: "I have always wanted to figure out the mystery of this, but I have always failed."
"You threw that box away this time. If he knew about it, he might kill you. After all, that's where he buried the gold."
"Without that box, maybe he can't remember anything clearly, or maybe he remembers it clearly."
"But it's okay to remember clearly. If I don't remember clearly, then I won't be able to survive, let alone you."
At the end of his speech, Xu Peiwen grabbed his hair with both hands and seemed to have a look of regret.
Hearing Xu Peiwen's difficulties, Wang Xiaomei suddenly burst into laughter.
This shocked Xu Peiwen on the side and asked weakly: "Xiao...Xiaomei, are you...are you okay?"
"Of course I'm fine, haha, what can happen to me? Haha."
Seeing that Wang Xiaomei kept laughing, Xu Peiwen was also quite helpless and said quickly:
"Xiaomei, don't scare me. Could it be that what you just said about the box you threw away was all fake?"
"Fake, all fake, haha." At the end of her sentence, Wang Xiaomei burst into laughter again.
This time Xu Peiwen was completely speechless and said helplessly: "So, the box is still there?"
"Yeah, still there."
"Then why did you lie to me?" When he heard this, Xu Peiwen, who had been close to Wang Xiaomei, immediately moved his body away.
At this moment, Wang Xiaomei hugged Xu Peiwen and said with a strange tone:
"Lao Xu, what kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd? In fact, I know that since you will hand that box to me, it must mean that that box is very important to you."
"But since it is so important, I will definitely not throw it away. I will definitely keep it well."
"Because I know that one day, you will come back and take away that box."
"You still understand me." After hearing what Wang Xiaomei said, Xu Peiwen, who almost cried in anger just now, choked up and shook his head helplessly.
At this moment, Gu Chen's team in the next room were also confused by Wang Xiaomei's sudden turn.
But one thing is certain, the owner of this box, and the big brother Xu Peiwen talks about, may be Huang Zhigang.
Since the two committed murders back then, they defrauded a lot of money.
After all other members were arrested, only Xu Peiwen and Huang Zhigang were missing.
But now the big brother Xu Peiwen talks about seems to have a deep connection with Xu Peiwen.
Thinking about it this way, maybe Huang Zhigang is indeed right.
"It should be him." Officer Wang threw the pen on the table and breathed a sigh of relief:
"It seems that Huang Zhigang also hid a lot of gold back then. This guy must have done many shady things."
"The gold actually needs to be separated, which means that that guy made a lot of ill-gotten gains back then."
After thinking for a while, Officer Wang said again: "We have to listen again quickly to see where this guy is?"
After the words fell, everyone immediately turned on the monitoring mode again.
In the next room, the conversation between Xu Peiwen and Wang Xiaomei continued:
"Lao Xu, tell me clearly, do you know the true meaning of the special symbols on the box?" Wang Xiaomei said.
Xu Peiwen looked helpless and said angrily: "Why don't you believe me?"
"I...it's not that I don't believe you, I...it's harmful, forget it."
In the end, Wang Xiaomei seemed to feel that it was unintentional to say more.
If Xu Peiwen really knew, he probably wouldn't have kept the box with him.
At this moment, Xu Peiwen was also close to Wang Xiaomei, touched the back of Wang Xiaomei's hand, and whispered softly:
"Xiaomei, I know that I have been treating you badly for so many years, but I also know what you mean to me."
"So, when I come to Jiangnan City this time, I really want to be with you."
After a pause, Xu Peiwen gathered his emotions, and then said: "Let's do this. Find the box this time, I will return it to the big brother, and I will cut off contact with him."
"From now on, it's just the two of us, just the two of us, we open a shop together, and then we make good food in peace and quiet."
"From now on, I don't have to run around here and there, and you can stay with me every day."
Here Xu Peiwen was still "making witty remarks", but in the next room, Officer Wang couldn't listen anymore and said helplessly to everyone:
"This guy seems to be deceiving Wang Xiaomei again, and I feel that this Wang Xiaomei will definitely be deceived."
"Yes, this Xu Peiwen, once he gets the box, he will definitely slip away very fast as if the soles of his feet are greased."
With a faint sigh, Yuan Shasha also said angrily: "This Wang Xiaomei, the scar has really healed and she has forgotten the pain. Why doesn't her memory improve?"
"It's terrible! I see how can she still be so obsessed with love at such an age? It's terrible. It's terrible."
Lu Weiwei shook her head and said helplessly: "If this was someone I knew, I would have to go up and slap her twice to make her sober up."
"Shh! Don't talk." Just when Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Gu Chen made a silent sign language to Lu Weiwei.
Lu Weiwei immediately covered her mouth.
On the other side, Xu Peiwen and Wang Xiaomei in the next room seemed to be getting back together again.
The two also started talking and became extremely close.
Xu Peiwen, who had a glass of wine, also said with a smile: "Xiaomei, let's do this. After finishing the meal, you can accompany me to retrieve the box. How about it?"
"Well, I'll listen to you." Wang Xiaomei seemed to respond directly without any hesitation at this moment.
