Chapter 858 Treasure
It wasn’t until nightfall that Luo Qiao felt the ship had stopped. She entered the space to change back into her original clothes and had some food before stepping out. After climbing out of the window, she listened intently but heard no movement, so she cautiously opened the door and walked out.
Apart from the lookout on the deck, the other attendants were gathered in a cabin nearby, drinking and eating meat. Luo Qiao noticed the Luo Family father and son among the group, their expressions grave.
Luo Qiao bent down and walked towards the cabin where the tattooed man stayed. When she arrived, she was surprised to find someone guarding the door. Testing the wind direction, Luo Qiao seized an opportunity to throw a handful of sleeping powder, and as the person was about to fall, she quickly pulled him into the space.
She swiftly returned to her original hiding spot to see if anyone inside had heard any noise. She entered the space herself where she found that besides a wooden gun, the person had no other useful information.
Luo Qiao checked outside again and saw it was still quiet. She carefully approached the cabin door and pressed her ear against it, hearing the tattooed man from the morning saying, "Master, you are taking too many risks this time. If something were to happen, how could I explain it to the young master?"
"I am old, and don’t have many years left," replied the old man. "I have carried this matter in my heart for decades without resolution. I am afraid I will have to enter the grave with regret."
"Is money more important than your life? Do you not trust your subordinates?"
The man patted the tattooed man on the shoulder, "You have grown up by my side since you were little, I trust no one as much as I trust you, but this time, if we cannot find the item, I still want to go there and see it for myself.
If we still cannot open it, it means that those items are not meant for me, and afterwards, I will move on and no longer dwell on it, spending my remaining years enjoying my grandchildren."
"Now that the daughter-in-law of the Lu Family is in our hands, if they really have the item, I believe they will bring it to exchange for her, especially since they don’t know the use of the Jade Pendant. No matter how meticulous they are, they wouldn’t guess that the Jade Pendant is the key to unlock the treasure."
"Shush, be careful, walls have ears. I hope no fourth person knows about this. Besides you, I have only mentioned it to Wu Jin. We need to be very careful."
