1364 Mysterious Box

Jun Shiling received the news. Soon, the news about Xuan Sheng spread to Beijing.

After confirming it with his subordinate three times, Xuan Li still had suspicions. Xuan Sheng was so cunning. How could he be tricked so easily??

“You saw Xuan Sheng’s corpse?? How did you confirm it?”

The subordinate handed a report to Xuan Li. “CEO Xuan, Xuan Sheng’s corpse was taken away by Jun Shiling. We didn’t see his corpse with our own eyes, but we bribed the forensic doctor over there. After appraisal, he’s indeed dead.”

“Really?” Having suffered too many losses at Xuan Sheng’s hands, Xuan Li did not dare to easily believe the news from Xuan Sheng.

“Really, under normal circumstances, we definitely can’t do anything to Xuan Sheng. However, this time, he had just recovered from a serious illness. Before his injuries recovered, he ran to Linxi. That night, it was heavy rain again, exacerbating the cracking of his wound. He was no match for our people and rolled out with them. This should be the reason why he fell off the cliff.”

Hearing his assistant’s explanation, Xuan Li seemed to finally understand and was enlightened. “You’re right. It’s normal for his body to be pulled down the cliff. In other words, the Xuan family is completely mine?”

The gloominess of the past few days was finally swept away. Xuan Li sat on the sofa with an uncontrollable smile on his face. “Well done. Go down and receive the reward. Everyone has a share.”

“Okay, okay. Thank you, CEO Xuan!” Hearing that there was a bonus, the subordinate was extremely excited and shook off his complaints and dissatisfaction with Xuan Li.

In the hotel in Linxi City, it was still raining outside the window. The raindrops hit the glass window, leaving a water stain.

After sleeping for more than an hour, Xia Wanyuan woke up. She lifted the blanket and was about to get out of bed when Jun Shiling draped a coat over her shoulders.

“I’m hungry.” Xia Wanyuan smiled at Jun Shiling and got out of bed.

“Let’s go eat.”

“By the way, is there any news from Xuan Sheng?” Xia Wanyuan had just lifted the blanket when she thought of Xuan Sheng. “Have you found him?”

As Jun Shiling helped Xia Wanyuan put on her socks, he shook his head. “Not yet. I’ve already sent more people.”

“Okay, remember to tell me if you find him.”

“Mm.”

Just as the two of them were talking, there was a knock on the door. Lin Jing walked in with someone behind him. “CEO Jun, Madam, this is the captain of the archeological team.”

“Hello.” Xia Wanyuan stood up and greeted the captain.

“Hello, CEO Jun. Hello, Madam.” Facing Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan, the captain was very uncomfortable. His hand trembled as he took out a small box with gems from the box he was carrying.

“This is?” Looking at the small box, Xia Wanyuan felt that it was very familiar. She recalled in her mind and reached out to flip the front of the box. What she saw shocked her.

Because this box was a gift from her mother back then. She said that she wanted to use it as her dowry.

“This was discovered under the coffin when we were cleaning up the last batch of cultural relics. Because it was buried deep under the soil, no one noticed it. I saw that the box was quite intact, so I sent it to you.”

Xia Wanyuan took it and looked at it, then nodded at the captain. “Thank you. I’ll get someone to bring you some rewards later. You’ve worked hard.”

“No, no.” The captain hurriedly waved his hand. “Madam, you’re too kind. Then Madam, go ahead. I still have a pile of things to clean up. I’ll go back first.”

“Okay.”

After the captain left, Xia Wanyuan gave Jun Shiling a look. Jun Shiling turned to leave and quickly walked in with two protective suits.

With Jun Shiling’s help, Xia Wanyuan put on the protective suit, then placed her hand on the box and unsealed the mechanism according to the previous method.

As her fingers moved, after a few clicks, the box was really opened.

A roll of bamboo slips lay quietly in the box.

Xia Wanyuan picked it up and took a look. It was already very old. The entire bamboo slip was not carved with words, but a few crooked curves.

Xia Wanyuan looked at it for a long time but could not understand what these curves meant.

Xia Wanyuan turned to look at Jun Shiling. “Do you understand? Is there any special meaning to what’s drawn here?”

Jun Shiling shook his head. “Who drew this?”

“My younger brother.” Xia Wanyuan’s gaze landed at the end of the curve. Emperor Xia Yuan had a very subtle habit. Every time he drew a line, it would subconsciously circle back at the end, forming a small dot at the end. The lines on this bamboo slip happened to be Emperor Xia Yuan’s habit of drawing things.

Jun Shiling focused his gaze on the bamboo slip again. After a while, he suddenly said, “Is it some kind of map?”

Hearing Jun Shiling’s words, Xia Wanyuan looked at the bamboo slip again. There were a few crooked curves. It was fine to call it a map, but there were no references or annotations on it. It was impossible to tell what kind of map it was.

“How strange. Why is this in this box?” Xia Wanyuan looked at the box and then at the confused bamboo slip.

This box had been crafted for her by Xia Wanyuan’s parents at a high price back then. From the moment this box was given to her, it had always followed her. Even though they later wandered among the people, there were countless times when Xia Wanyuan wanted to pawn it, but in the end, she still kept it.

This gem box was quite precious to Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wei must know very well, but the fact that he had placed a roll of bamboo slips in it meant that the bamboo slip was quite important.

But what was important? Xia Wanyuan thought for a long time but could not understand.

Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was frowning more and more, Jun Shiling placed the bamboo slip back in the box, locked it, and placed it in the safe at the side. “Alright, there’s always a way out. Since you can’t find it now, don’t look for it. You’ll find out one day.”

Xia Wanyuan did not hesitate anymore. She went out to eat with Jun Shiling. While the two of them were eating, the Internet was already in chaos.

The reason was Xuan Sheng.

After Xuan Li received the news, he found someone to publicize it.

A large number of marketing accounts began to repost the Weibo post mourning Xuan Sheng. “CEO Xuan, rest in peace.”

When they saw these Weibo posts, the netizens broke down. They thought that it could not be the Xuan Sheng they knew, right??

However, when they clicked on it, they realized that it was really the person who had appeared in their minds. Everyone was shocked.

[ What the hell?? Xuan Sheng?? Is there a mistake? ]

[ If you spread rumors, you will have to pay legal responsibility. Let me tell you!!! ]
