"Son, you didn't do anything illegal or disciplinary for us, did you?"
My father's voice suddenly became serious.
Facing the questioning from the two elders, Chen Rui also couldn't laugh or cry.
"Hey! Where did you go? Can I do something like that?"
"The thing is like this, after something happened to our family, I changed jobs and changed careers."
“I happened to meet a friend who was an antique dealer, and under his guidance, I started an antique business.”
"Maybe I was lucky when I first entered the industry, so I missed several treasures in a row."
"Those treasures were sold at a good price, so they are enough to support us in buying a villa in the capital."
Chen Rui quickly explained to his parents.
After hearing this, the second elder remained silent, obviously not convinced by his words.
After all, this is a bit too exaggerated!
It's only been a few months since you changed careers, but you've already made tens of millions?
Chen Rui smiled slightly and simply turned the voice call into a video call.
After turning the phone around, the camera focused on the Rembrandt painting that I had purchased in Seattle.
"Did you see it? Dad, this is an authentic painting by Rembrandt."
"The one I bought recently, if it goes up for auction, the final transaction price will be at least 10 million, and it will have to be US dollars."
"What?"
In the camera, Dad looked at the oil painting with disbelief.
But he couldn't see why, and Chen Rui turned the camera and pointed it at another picture.
"See, I have at least two paintings like this."
"So, you don't have to worry about money."
"You just choose the house you want to buy, buy a bigger one, tell me the price later, and I'll send the money to you."
"Then be sure to make a collection room for me in the house."
"Hey, I collected a bunch of treasures here! These things are very valuable."
"I wouldn't be so relieved if I put it here in the United States."
Chen Rui panned the camera to his collection room. His parents also roughly saw that there were indeed many good things in this collection room.
But they didn't see clearly what it was.
But one thing they were sure of.
That is, their son is really rich now!
Although I don’t know how much truth Chen Rui’s words are.
But my dad, who comes from a business background, knows not to take things too seriously at this time.
As the saying goes, a horse will not be fat without weeds, and a man will not be rich without windfall!
It seems that my son is getting sick now, which is always a good thing.
"Okay, let's settle in as soon as possible, and we'll go see the house tomorrow."
"We'll let you know when we've found it!"
When Chen Rui saw his parents nodding, he felt relieved.
"Well, okay, then I'll wait for your news."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Rui also breathed a sigh of relief.
Asking his parents to move to the capital is also an act of killing two birds with one stone.
On the one hand, it allows parents to stay away from home, and on the other hand, it also provides a way out for oneself.
As for the identity of the parents, that is naturally left to Qiao Li.
Although I don't know what her true identity is.
But after being in contact with her for such a long time, Chen Rui knew very well that this woman had great magical powers.
This time on the island, something unspeakable happened between the two of them.
The relationship has naturally progressed further. This time Qiao Li was asked to help, and she agreed immediately.
Chen Rui planned to go back and have a look after his parents settled down.
After all, counting this time, he has not returned to China for three years.
I took inventory of my treasure room again and played with all the treasures one by one.
Chen Rui then came out of the treasure room and locked the secret door.
He returned to the study downstairs, which was the room he originally rented.
Later, after he and Karen established their relationship and moved upstairs, it became his study and studio.
After entering the room, he turned on the computer.
Then he took out the diary that he found from Ishihara Ichiro.
Use your mobile phone to take photos and archive them like this diary.
Then I opened the translation software and started translating these diaries.
When this translation came out, it was amazing. It turned out to be a treasure hunt diary investigated by Ishihara.
【May 1, 1980 The weather is sunny】
[This is my first trip after graduating from high school, and the destination is the Philippines]
[The purpose of my coming to this country is very simple, just to find the treasure that my grandfather told me about since I was a child]
【………………】
[Damn it, damn Filipinos are so dishonest, they tricked me into wandering around the mountains for several days and found nothing]
【……………………】
【June 3, 1988 The weather is sunny】
[This is my tenth time to come to the Philippines. Over the years, I have come almost every year]
[Sometimes even twice a year, except for the last time I found some leftovers in the cave]
[The other times, I got nothing]
[But last time I found the gold, I exchanged it for more than 50 million yen]
[This money allowed Aiko and I to live a good life, and Koichiro was also sent to a better private school]
[So, this also strengthens my belief in hunting for treasure in the Philippines]
[After all, there are hundreds of treasures buried here...]
[It was rainy on December 30, 2010]
[My mood is as gloomy as the weather outside]
[I have been to the Philippines no less than fifty times over the years]
[It can be said that the treasures found are very few]
[According to historical records, Yamashita Tombumi buried a total of 175 treasures in the Philippines that year]
[After seeing my grandfather, he told me that in fact it was not the only one, he was involved in the burial of more than 80 places]
[So according to his statistics, there are more than 200 places]
[But I have searched so many times, but I have not found the treasures that grandpa talked about]
[Except for a large part of this, it was poached by the Americans]
[There are many others who were found by local families in the Philippines]
[But according to my estimation, there should be at least a hundred places left that no one has discovered yet]
【So where have all these treasures gone? 】
[I looked for it according to the map my grandpa gave me, but I couldn’t find most of them]
[Grandpa told me that when they buried these treasures, some of them chose to bury them in caves]
[And more are chosen to be buried in the tombs of local Chinese people]
[Especially those tombs of local wealthy families, because the tombs are huge]
[In addition, the local families attach great importance to these tombs, and outsiders will not disturb them easily]
[So it is relatively safer here, but the problem is that so many years have passed]
[Many tombs and even cemeteries have been completely destroyed, so how can I find them?]
[Is it true that we can only cooperate with people from the Dragon Kingdom? 】
[I heard that there are some experts in the Dragon Kingdom who are very good at finding ancient tombs]
