Chapter 244: The Chamber of Secrets at the Bottom of the River Thame
After the work was done, Bonnie from Angel Decoration Company left with his people, and Benjamin was also leaving. Guo Yongren wanted to invite him to dinner, but Benjamin refused. He didn't have time, and the things at hand were not finished yet, so Guo Yongren didn't force it.
, sent Benjamin off, watched Benjamin's car drive away, and then Guo Yongren came back.
"White, do you still have enough money on hand?" Guo Yongren asked. There have been a lot of things recently, and White should have spent a lot.
"Sir, you still have more than 14,000 pounds from the last payment," White said directly. Guo Yongren nodded. White has saved enough.
Guo Yongren directly wrote another check for 150,000 pounds and handed it to White, "White, I may be leaving the UK in a while. You need to pay for the decoration project and supervision company. You can take this." Guo Yongren
Said, White nodded and took it. As a housekeeper, helping the master manage money is also one of his responsibilities.
"Sir, the tent on the roof has been set up. I have arranged for people to fix the perimeter of the tent. Even if there is strong wind, it will not be a problem." White said directly, and Guo Yongren nodded.
"Let's do this. I'll come over to organize the study in the next two days. You can arrange for people to move other things up there." Guo Yongren said with a smile. White nodded, and Guo Yongren left the Victory Manor and returned to the apartment.
Back at the apartment, Guo Yongren called Holly and asked her about the candidate who was familiar with finance. Holly smiled bitterly and regretfully told Guo Yongren that no, there was no suitable one. Guo Yongren was not in a hurry and let Holly take his time.
Please pay attention.
Wang Dajun had nothing to do at home and made lunch early. Guo Yongren had a big meal and drank tea, then went directly to rest. Anyway, he had nothing to do, so it was better to relax.
In the evening, Guo Yongren went to the room to take a look at Victor. It was undeniable that Victor's recovery ability was really good. However, Guo Yongren did not talk to Victor, he just took a look and left.
Early in the morning, Fang Zhan led Fang Zhan to the Shengli Manor and began to organize the bookshelves. Many of the books here were antiques. They were a little yellowed for a long time. Specially ordered cartons and clean plastic films were used to organize and mark the books.
, pack it into boxes, and mark the location on the box.
The two of them had been busy all morning, and there was still a little left. They had a meal in the manor at noon, which was a very simple steak. They ate a few pieces, took a rest, and continued to tidy up. The tidying was completed at about four o'clock in the afternoon.
Thoroughly tidy and empty.
It can be said that Guo Yongren has been here every day these days. The items on the third floor have basically been moved to the top floor and moved into tents. Only after the decoration below is completed, Guo Yongren will consider their value and see what is left and what is.
Not to mention, many oil paintings, etc., are all in this tent.
HSBC has its own office in London. Guo Yongren took the time to open an account at the securities company of HSBC's London head office. He took out 100 million pounds, bought copper futures, and then left it in the account and ignored it. Anyway, it will be there for the next two years.
Growth, the price of copper has increased by more than 360%, there is nothing to worry about, just wait slowly.
In fact, Guo Yongren still miscalculated. At that time, there was no such a large amount of funds for the copper price increase. Although the 100 million pound contract is not much compared to the overall situation, it is a problem if you hold a 100 million pound contract and do not sell it. This is equivalent to
This indirectly increased the price of copper, causing the price of copper to rise even faster than before.
Guo Yongren extended the term of the apartment for another month. There was no way, Victor still needed to practice. After a few days of practice, Victor could barely walk, but it still didn't work. He needed to continue to practice.
Angel Decoration Company has begun to deliver materials to the manor. When all the ordered materials are transported, the renovation of the castle will begin. Guo Yongren doesn't care much about the castle. He can live there for a few years. By then,
Just push it to rebuild and change it to the style you want.
Unknowingly, Victor had been cultivating for more than ten days. That night, he had a conversation with Guo Yongren, "I don't care what your identity is, since fate has chosen you and me, then we have to go on, I will take you
Go to the secret room and have a look, you will understand that I did not lie to you." Victor said directly. He understood what Guo Yongren meant. Guo Yongren did not believe what he said at all. Only when Guo Yongren saw the secret room would he understand that he was not lying.
talk.
Guo Yongren thought for a moment and discussed it with Fang Zhan and Wang Dajun. The two of them had no objections. Guo Yongren's opinion was the main one. As long as Guo Yongren decided, they had no objection. Guo Yongren patted Fang Zhan on the shoulder and said, "
Take a look." He said with a smile, Fang Zhanzhan and Wang Dajun nodded.
Early the next morning, Wang Dajun helped Victor get into the car. Fang Zhanzhan drove. Guo Yongren sat in the passenger seat and followed the route pointed by Victor. He slowly drove to a location in the suburbs where he lived.
The environment was very complicated. After three or two turns, we arrived at a very inconspicuous house. We parked the car in a safe place and everyone got out of the car.
Victor wandered around for a while, pulled out a brick from the corner, then reached out and took out a key, put the brick back in its place, walked to the very old-fashioned house next to it, opened the door, waved his hand, and let
Everyone came in, and Guo Yongren and the others followed.
Turning on the light, the room was no longer so dark. Victor looked outside by the window for a while and breathed a sigh of relief. Then he took out four torches from the cabinet next to him and gave one to each of Guo Yongren and the others. "Follow me."
Kedo said, then turned off the light, lit the torch and walked inside.
When he came to the kitchen, he clicked on the side a few times, turned to Wang Dajun and said, "Pull the cabinet." Wang Dajun looked at Guo Yongren, Guo Yongren nodded, and Wang Dajun took action and opened the cabinet. Behind him was a
Victor went down the tunnel first.
At the end of the battle, Fang went down and pulled the cupboard back. Everything returned to darkness, with four torches on. He walked underground along the steps for about twenty minutes, mainly because Victor slowed down his speed.
After coming down, there is a relatively spacious passage with ground rails and a flatbed truck on the ground rail. "There are usually two flatbed trucks here. The previous one was used but did not come back. This is the last one."
After getting into the car, Guo Yongren and others followed.
"That one can be activated, but someone needs to operate it." After finishing speaking, Victor coughed a few times. It was cold, dark and humid here, which was a kind of torture for a seriously injured person. However, Mr. Victor could no longer care about so much.
.
Guo Yongren signaled, and Fang Zhanhan and Wang Dajun began to operate the flatbed truck. It was a seesaw-like device. The two of them exerted force on each other, and the flatbed truck would start ahead. The speed was not slow. It ran for about twenty minutes. "That lever can
Control the speed, we are almost there, control it." After Victor finished speaking, Wang Dajun began to control the speed.
After another ten minutes, at the end, there was indeed a flatbed truck in front. Everyone walked down and there was a door here. There was no lock or anything like that. Victor took out an iron plate he was wearing on his chest.
Press the door, and with a click, two handles appear.
"Turn left twice, turn right five times, and then push in. I don't have enough strength," Victor said. Wang Dajun came over and started to grab the two handles and start turning in circles as Victor said. After turning in, he pushed in.
Pushed, the door opened and everyone walked in.
After entering, Guo Yongren and others found that it was even more humid here. "We have reached the bottom of the Tame River. The secret room is in that direction. Follow me." After saying this, they walked ahead and walked for about ten minutes before pushing away.
A door opened and he walked in with a sad face.
Guo Yongren and the others also followed in. Victor lit the torches around the house, illuminating the room very brightly. Guo Yongren and the others could see clearly that the seven corpses were all wearing armor similar to Victor's. They looked carefully.
At a glance, one of them committed suicide. The one who committed suicide should be the prophet, and the rest were killed by sharp tools. Guo Yongren couldn't help but think of the weapon that hit Victor's arm.
At this time, Victor knelt down, facing the dead people. With tears in his eyes, he mumbled something and didn't know what to say. It took him a long time before he stood up.
"The parchment roll is on the table, you can see for yourself." After saying this, he lost all energy. Leaning against the wall, Guo Yongren walked over and took a look. There was indeed a parchment roll on the table, with writing on it in English.
Although he didn't recognize some of the words, Guo Yongren could still understand the last few sentences, which made him a bit dumbfounded.
"While others blindly seek truth and truth, remember"
"Everything is empty"
"While others are subject to legal and moral constraints, remember"
"All things are allowed"
"We serve the light but work in the darkness"
"Holy shit" Guo Yongren couldn't help but said, this is too damn coincidental. Is there any mistake? He looked at Victor with a strange face, and Victor also looked at Guo Yongren. Now Victor can
One thing is certain, that is, Guo Yongren doesn't know his own organization, he doesn't know the parchment, and he doesn't know what happened here.
However, the last words happened to be right. This parchment was made by the first generation of prophets and has been kept by successive generations of prophets. The eight locks on the box are not ordinary locks. If any of the locks is damaged, then
The liquid in the interlayer of the box will destroy the parchment roll. The design is very subtle.
"I don't want to believe that this is true, but that's the fact. Fate has already made its choice." Victor said in a low voice. Guo Yongren stood aside with a dark face, his mind racing, what the hell is this?
What's going on? Guo Yongren felt that there was an invisible big hand controlling everything, and he was powerless to resist.
