Chapter 862 Old Grudges
Lu Yichen was also thinking that this possibility was very likely, or else why had these people not let go of them after so many years? It could explain things clearly now: the Luo Family must have been sent to keep watch and search for the whereabouts of the Jade Pendant.
Thinking of the Luo Family, they probably didn’t know the real use of the Jade Pendant either. It was time to settle accounts.
While Lu Yichen was lost in thought, Luo Qiao took out some food from the warehouse. "Brother Chen, let’s eat first. These matters can’t be figured out in a moment," she said.
Lu Yichen looked at the steaming dishes, and Luo Qiao added, "The underground warehouse can keep things fresh. Whatever you put in comes out the same. Eat up. I’m afraid the boat you arranged will be arriving soon."

Meanwhile, Jun Zhenlin, who was on his way to Shanghai, was seething with rage because Luo Qiao had destroyed all the food and drink on the boat. She had saved some of each item in her space, and in order not to arouse suspicion, she destroyed the rest, leaving nothing behind.
The room was in complete disarray, with no place to set foot. It would have been fine if things were just tipped onto the floor; they could simply wash them off. But to make matters worse, she poured paint from the tool room all over everything.
With no choice, the crew set out at full speed for Shanghai.
In his hand, Jun Zhenlin held a photograph. If Old Master Gu were here, he would know that the person in the photograph was his wife, Huang Xiurong.
It turns out the Jun family and the Huang family were old friends. Jun Zhenlin and Huang Xiurong had been betrothed since childhood and often played together. But then, the Jun family offended a powerful figure and the entire family was sent to prison.
During a prison riot, Jun Zhenshan managed to escape and went to the Huang family to ask them to pay for his family’s release. However, the crime the Jun family was charged with by the power-holder was a capital offense, not something that could be resolved with money, and it was feared that helping them could implicate their own family as well. At the time, the Huang family head tactfully declined.
