Chapter 485: Chapter 478: Tremendous Benefits
Tian Xinhua immediately called Mr. Yun on the same day to inform him of what had happened. Mr. Yun was initially taken aback when he learned that Sisi’s uncle was none other than the famed ’Black Hawk’ from the military intelligence, Mu Xiuzhu, but he then burst into laughter.
"This is good news for you. It must be because of Ah Nan that Mu Xiuzhu is willing to be so generous. Otherwise, with his skills, he could have taken these items without stirring up even the slightest breeze," Mr. Yun said.
Tian Xinhua listened respectfully as Mr. Yun continued, "I’ll handle this matter personally. You arrange a place for me to stay. Datu and I will come over immediately. Heh, I didn’t think I’d have a chance to see Black Hawk again in my lifetime. Not bad, really not bad."
Mu Xiuzhu was also delighted to hear that Mr. Yun would personally take care of things. It had been almost forty years since he’d seen Yun Po Bi!
And that barbarian-like King Luo, it had been forty years since their last encounter, hadn’t it? He wondered whether King Luo’s temper had improved with age.
Mr. Yun and Luo Datou arrived very quickly, accompanied by He Chengsi. He Chengsi had graduated from the police academy and was assigned to work at the National Security Bureau. As for Kang Mianhua, she naturally followed her husband, and their starting point in their careers were both quite high, promising a bright future.
He Chengsi was there to ensure Mr. Yun’s safety. Nowadays, no one really knew the extent of He Chengsi’s martial arts prowess, but Sisi knew. A few years earlier, Tian Xinhua was no longer able to beat He Chengsi, which had left Tian Xinhua feeling depressed for quite some time!
When Mr. Yun saw Sisi’s pregnant belly, he nodded his head with satisfaction and then remarked, "After the birth, I’ll take care of the child!"
Take care?
Take care of the child?
What did he mean?
Could it be that Mr. Yun wanted to raise the child himself?
Seeing Sisi’s puzzled expression, Mr. Yun kindly explained, "I want to raise this little one myself, uh, I mean I want to personally nurture him. Hurry up and give birth, send the child to the Capital City after weaning. The conditions are better there."
Sisi immediately jumped up, firmly objecting, "No way, the child I gave birth to must be raised by me. Why should I let you take care of the baby?"
For the sake of her child, Sisi had become more bold and was determined not to capitulate to malicious forces.
"You can take care of Sister Mianhua’s children if you want. Just don’t come for mine."
Sisi tried to divert Mr. Yun’s attention, giving He Chengsi a glare of exasperation—it was all this guy’s fault for not making an effort. If they had had a child earlier, Old Man Yun wouldn’t be eyeing the baby in her belly, would he?
Mr. Yun, reminiscing, glanced at the unruly Sisi and couldn’t resist flicking her forehead, "Yours are more fun to raise!"
Then he added to the almost tearful Sisi, "You can take them during summer and winter breaks, I’ll take care of them the rest of the time. I’m definitely better at raising them than you are."
Mr. Yun’s last words were said with utter seriousness. Sisi couldn’t help but make a face behind his back. What did he mean he was better?
Wasn’t it also his first time? What was there to be proud of?
Sisi was actually quite conflicted. She knew for sure that a child tutored by Mr. Yun would turn out better than one she coached herself. If she considered the child’s future, it would be better for the child to follow Mr. Yun.
Moreover, she knew that Mr. Yun must be lonely. In the past, she and Tian Xinhua used to stay at Yun Mansion for a few days from time to time to keep him company, but since getting married, she saw Mr. Yun less often, usually only speaking over the phone.
Sisi was torn, wanting the child to alleviate Mr. Yun’s loneliness and yet unwilling to part with the baby!
Forget it, she wouldn’t think about it anymore. The child hadn’t even been born yet!
There’s always a way over a mountain, and a bridge straightens when a boat reaches it—the solution will surely come, plus we still need to hear what Tian Xinhua thinks about all this!
Big-hearted Sisi quickly lost interest in these troubles and looked over at Mr. Yun, who was chatting with Mu Xiuzhu. Their atmosphere was harmonious, like that of old friends who hadn’t seen each other for years, very warm and friendly.
But their conversation was anything but amiable!
"Yun Po Bi, how did you end up like this?"
Mu Xiuzhu looked at him with strong distaste, hardly believing that the leader of the once-famed Four Young Masters had deteriorated to such a state, tut-tut, it truly was a stain on the name of the Four Young Masters!
It turns out that people in the past were really into gossip; they even summarized a list of the talented and good-looking Four Young Masters from among those active in the political and literary circles.
Mr. Yun was recognized as the number one, and Mu Xiuzhu was ranked third. The second was the famous poet at that time, Lu Zhimo, who was also the affair partner of Xu Xiaona, the dream lover of Zhang Mingliu. The fourth was another military man who died young on the battlefield.
Mr. Yun glanced at him dismissively and sneered, "No matter what, I’m still better than you marrying a white girl. Tsk tsk, I wonder if Zhong Ling knows she lost out to a foreign woman; wouldn’t she be pissed enough to rise from her grave?"
Mu Xiuzhu’s face turned awkward when he heard the name Zhong Ling. Sisi blinked—who was Zhong Ling? There seemed to be some scandalous story there.
Who knew Uncle had such a flirtatious past!
And she wondered if Mr. Yun was also such a ladies’ man back then?
"Yun Po Bi, if anyone Zhong Ling should find to settle accounts with, it’s you. I had nothing to do with her, unlike someone else who was deeply entangled with her," Mu Xiuzhu shot back, not willing to be outdone.
Sisi looked back and forth between Mr. Yun and Mu Xiuzhu, realizing this was a tangled web of a love triangle!
Tian Xinhua and He Chengsi acted quickly, and the very next day they brought in several archaeologists from the provincial city. With these experts around, the search would surely be more efficient.
After a survey, the treasure was located in the belly of a mountain on the west side of Huangyuan County. The mountain was quite high and the jungle thick, rarely visited by people, so no one had thought there might be treasure hidden there.
He Chengsi mobilized the local armed police, and with the guidance of the treasure map, the treasure buried underground was soon discovered.
Sisi was eager to see it, but with her big belly, she couldn’t, so she had to rely on the descriptions provided by Tian Xinhua.
It was said that there were six boxes of gold ingots, ten boxes of silver ingots, and over ten boxes of various jewels, antiques, and jade—quite a rich haul indeed.
That same day, the armed police transferred these catalogued treasures to the provincial city. It was believed that in a short time, these antiques would be on display at the National Museum.
Some of the archaeologists who went said that the gold and silver were secondary; the most precious were the well-preserved antique ornaments, which would allow the citizens to better understand the history of that period.
However, Sisi had no interest in this at all. Anxiously, she asked, "What’s in it for my uncle and you? Surely you’re not donating it all for nothing?"
Don’t blame her pragmatism; if it weren’t for the benefits, why would she urge Mu Xiuzhu to donate so much wealth?
Tian Xinhua smiled, "Of course, there are great benefits. Ah Nan will be able to see it in the future!"
Teasing like this is just annoying!
Sisi, frustrated, gave someone a few hard twists.
