07. Parting ways
Wang Zuo knew very well that there was no treasure in the cabin, not one. In addition to a pile of gunpowder, there was just a clue to the treasure.
He knew even more that this clue pointed to the document "Declaration of Independence", which was collected in the National Museum.
Because of this clue, Ben Gates and Ian parted ways.
Ben Gates didn't want to steal the Declaration of Independence, but Ian was unwilling to give up this clue. After all, he had paid too much to find this treasure.
He could not stop here, nor would he want to return empty-handed.
Therefore, Ian's action of stealing the Declaration of Independence was imperative, but Ben Gates was unwilling, which led to Ian's intention to kill, because he was afraid of being bad for Gates, so he wanted to kill Ben Gates to prevent future troubles.
But Ben Gates is not a simple person either. He ignited gunpowder and blew the entire ship to pieces.
Although everyone escaped from the ship before the gunpowder exploded, even so, the royal house was still unwilling to take risks.
So he walked at the end and seemed not active.
In fact, he wanted to find Xiao very much and told Xiao that he was willing to stay on the ground and wait for them.
But doing this will seem suspicious, so Wang Zhai did not do this, but instead pretended to tie his shoelaces and easily landed in the last place.
Everyone entered the cabin one by one, and Ben Gates and Ian walked in the front, but no one saw the treasure.
Everyone was a little disappointed.
Soon, Ben Gates found the warehouse again, and everyone's faces reopened.
Because they thought the warehouse was piled up with the treasure they were looking for.
But Wangzhai knew that there was no treasure in it, and it was all gunpowder, so Wangzhai did not walk in this time, but took two steps back. Once he found that something was wrong, he started running out.
Ben Gates and Ian opened the door of the warehouse, but did not see the treasure after entering. The words "disappointment" were written on their faces without any concealment.
Everyone walked around the warehouse, but still found no treasure, only a lot of gunpowder.
Ian looked at Ben Gates, hoping that the other party could give him an explanation.
Ben Gates found the dead captain and found a package from the powder barrel held by the captain, and a pipe was placed inside the package.
"What is this?" Ian asked.
"This should be the next clue," Ben Gates said.
Although Ian was disappointed, he did not get angry at Ben Gates because he knew that having clues was the best gain, and he needed Ben Gates to crack this clue.
After two years of running around, Ian has firmly believed that this treasure exists, and the more complex the clues are, the larger the treasure is.
Freemasons are not crazy people. It is certainly impossible to set up such complicated clues to hide something insignificant. It is definitely a huge wealth.
Wang Zhai stood outside the door and saw this scene, and took a few steps back.
Because he knew that the two of them would turn against each other soon.
Unexpectedly, Ben Gates quickly found clues on his pipe and pointed to the Declaration of Independence. Ian suggested that in addition to signing checks, he also knew some people and organized several illegal actions to find someone to steal the Declaration of Independence.
Ian was a British man and had no good impression of the United States. The Declaration of Independence was just a piece of waste paper for him, and there was nothing wrong with stealing it out.
But this is something Ben Gates couldn't accept.
He was an American, and in his opinion, the Declaration of Independence was very sacred.
Of course, more importantly, he is willing to find treasures, but he is not willing to break the law.
Once this matter was exposed, he would have to spend the rest of his life in prison, so Ben Gates was unwilling to take this risk and refused Ian without hesitation.
The two had a dispute over this and it would not take long before the ship would explode.
Wang Zhai felt a little moved, and walked forward a few steps, patted John on the shoulder and said, "John, it seems that there is no treasure here. Let's go, go back and start the car, and after the boss comes up, we will leave here."
John nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back and start the car first. This damn haunt place, I don't want to stay for a moment."
The others heard the conversation between the two and didn't say anything. Everyone was a little disappointed when they saw that there was no treasure here.
I originally thought I could make a fortune, but I was still happy.
So when Wang Zhai took John back, two more people followed.
Wang Zui walked faster and faster, and soon left the cabin and came to the deck. After jumping off the boat, Wang Zui came to the vicinity of the forklift. At this moment, he heard someone yelling below: "Run!"
Wang Zhai looked up and found that the people in the cabin escaped like wind, running fast one by one.
Soon, Ian and his confidant Xiao also ran away.
"Get on the bus, get on the bus!"
Wang Zui had already boarded a forklift at this time. When Ian and Xiao got on the car, the forklift immediately started and rushed towards the distance.
However, before everyone could walk too far, an explosion followed.
boom!
Then, a surging wave of air swept over like a tsunami. The air wave hit the forklift and did not overturn the heavyweight forklift, but the glass was under tremendous pressure and rumbling.
It may be shaken to pieces at any time.
Just when Wang Zhai planned to wrap his head with clothes to prevent the broken glass from scratching his face, the wave of air finally stopped.
The forklift's glass tenaciously withstood the test this time.
Ian asked the driver to stop the car, opened the car door and looked back. During this explosion, the entire wooden boat had been blown to pieces, and the wreckage of the wooden boat was burning, releasing black smoke.
Ian did not find any trace of Ben Gates and his friend Riley.
He felt that the two of them had died in this explosion.
So he returned to the car and said, "Let's go, leave here while the smoke has not yet attracted the extra people."
The driver nodded and drove away from here.
Wang Zhai looked back and saw Ben Gates and his friend Riley survived because there was a smuggling mezzanine in the wooden boat. The two of them survived the explosion through the mezzanine.
And the two of them will take the lead and steal the Declaration of Independence before Ian takes action.
But Wang Zhai didn't care about the Declaration of Independence. What he cared about was the pipe in Ian's hand, which was the key to opening the treasure. Without this thing, there was no way to open the door to the treasure.
So Wangzhai must find an opportunity to take the pipe from Ian.
Chapter completed!
