After being kicked out of a wealthy family, she became a fake daughter and shocked the world

Zheng Mingxian sat up straighter and said with a smile, "You are Cheng Man's friend. He can trust you, so naturally I can too."

Lin Wu put away the pendant and asked, "What is this pendant made of?"

Mentioning this, Zheng Mingxian's expression condensed slightly.

He said: "Three years ago, I went to Lingnan."

Lin Wu couldn't help but be startled, was it three years ago again? Or Lingnan?

Zheng Mingxian said: "At that time, I listened to my father's advice and went to Lingnan to find a rare rough stone, so that it could be used as a town treasure at the subsequent auction. But when I arrived in Lingnan, I encountered a strange thing. "

"Something strange?"

"Yeah. I remember it was in a place called Zhangjia Village in Dayu Mountains, Lingnan. There were rumors that the rough stone I was looking for was there, but I asked the local villagers and no one had heard of the stone I was looking for. The rough stone. After many days of searching to no avail, I am going to leave and look for it elsewhere."

"However, on the night I was about to leave, an expedition team came from the back mountains of Zhangjiacun and stayed at the B&B where I was staying. I was on the first floor and saw that the team was soaked to the skin and all of them were wet. Their faces were very pale, and they even scared the staff at the guest house.”

Thinking back, Zheng Mingxian frowned and seemed to be a little frightened.

He sighed: "I thought they might have been wandering around in the mountains for a long time before finding them, so they were in such a mess, so I didn't pay too much attention and went back to the room to rest. But early the next morning, the staff at the B&B discovered that they had all disappeared. ”

"Disappeared?" Lin Wu was stunned.

Zheng Mingxian nodded, "It's a very strange kind of disappearance. The staff said they saw them in the first half of the night, but disappeared in the second half of the night. Moreover, the doors and windows in their rooms were locked from the inside, and their things were still there. , not necessarily just their people.”

Lin Wu's eyes fell on the pendant in her hand, and she asked, "What does that have to do with this pendant?"

Zheng Mingxian said warmly: "When the team arrived at the B&B in the evening, I was sitting on the first floor eating. I accidentally caught a glimpse of them when they were checking out. The zipper of their backpack was open, revealing the contents inside. There was this kind of stone. They The backpacks look very heavy, and judging from my experience, they are definitely filled with rocks.”

In other words, they all had a backpack full of such stones.

"When the staff said they were missing the next day, I also took a look. All their things were there, but the stones were missing." Zheng Mingxian said.

Lin Wu frowned and questioned bluntly: "How can you be sure that the stone they brought is the material of my pendant?"

Zheng Mingxian laughed: "Miss Daosheng, don't you think this is a bit presumptuous for a person who relies on stone gambling for his wealth? I started learning stone gambling from my father when I was seven years old. When I was twenty years old, I I already have a basic understanding of all types of stones in the world. If there is a rough stone that I don’t recognize, do you think I won’t take a few more glances?”

Lin Wu agreed upon hearing this.

Zheng Mingxian added: "So at that time I also asked them if I could take a closer look and pay a high price, but they immediately rejected me. They took the room number and went up. The next day I saw that they were not there, so I also I didn't gain much, so I left Zhangjiacun. Finally, I barely found useful rough stones elsewhere, and I left Lingnan."

After a pause, Zheng Mingxian added: "Later, I was thinking that I had never seen this rough stone before, so I checked a lot of information in private. It was not until last year that I reluctantly found out that this seemed to be a sinkhole deep in the Dayu Mountains in Lingnan. The unique ore in it contains substances that are not very good for the human body. At this point, I gave up looking for it."

Hearing this, Lin Wu's heart skipped a beat.

Sure enough, the extra radioactive elements in grandpa's body were caused by it!

Lin Wu asked: "If you use it to make a peace charm and carry it with you, besides being harmful to the human body, what else will it do?"

She always felt that Lin Shenghai would not beg Master Zhang to give a piece to the old man at a high price just because of this.

There must be other effects.

Zheng Mingxian shook his head, "That's all I know."

"Okay then, thank you." Lin Wu could only say.

Fortunately, knowing this information is a breakthrough.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Wu stood up and said, "I'll have that piece of jade brought to you when I get back. Say goodbye."

Zheng Mingxian also stood up, nodded gently, and sent Lin Wu out.

Until Lin Wu's figure disappeared from sight, Uncle Huang finally couldn't hold it any longer and walked quickly to Zheng Mingxian and said, "Young master, why do you have to tell her!"

Zheng Mingxian walked back and sat down, poured a cup of tea by himself, and took a sip to moisten his throat.

He said: "I checked the original stone of Daosheng's pendant earlier. After checking, I found that there was a group of unknown forces operating in Lingnan, which seemed to be targeting the Five Elements. But the people sent there were nowhere to be found, so the investigation had to be carried out Interrupted. But I didn’t expect that not long ago, people from Xuanmen also discovered anomalies through a case and found out where it was.”

As he said that, Zheng Mingxian's expression became more condensed.

"My father plans to watch this matter, so as not to break Shi Xing's manpower again. But the person pursuing the investigation at Xuanmen is Cheng Man. How can I stand by and watch? What if Cheng Man encounters danger if he continues the investigation?"

Uncle Huang sighed: "Master Cheng Tian is the lifeblood of Xuanmen, he will be fine."

Zheng Mingxian shook his head: "Then I can't ignore Cheng Man. Moreover, we always thought that this group of forces was only entrenched in Lingnan, but the pendant brought by Daosheng showed that its people had already appeared in Beicheng, but we all No discovery. If it wasn’t for Dao Sheng, maybe it wouldn’t be discovered later.”

He looked up at Uncle Huang, "Uncle Huang, have you ever thought that if this group of people can appear in Beicheng without anyone noticing, they can appear in other places in the Five Elements."

Uncle Huang's expression froze.

After a long time, Uncle Huang asked nonchalantly: "Then do you want to tell Master Cheng Tianshi all these things?"

Zheng Mingxian tapped his fingers on the table thoughtfully.

After a moment, he shook his head, raised his glasses with his fingertips, and said calmly: "Cheng Man just started to investigate. I guess he hasn't found too much yet, so there is no need to tell him. In case he knows about it, he will have to investigate deeper. Since Dao Sheng has started to investigate now, let’s see how far Dao Sheng’s investigation will go.”

Uncle Huang couldn't help but said: "That Daosheng is a little girl! She...what can she find out?"

Zheng Mingxian smiled and said, "Uncle Huang, don't underestimate people. Since Cheng Man has such praise for her, it shows that she is a very capable person."

"Can……"

"Okay, let's stop here and don't say any more."

Zheng Mingxian interrupted Uncle Huang, then stood up, and said in a relaxed tone: "After Daosheng returns Cheng Man's jade, I will go back to Beijing to find Cheng Man and return the jade to him. "

When Uncle Huang heard this, he couldn't help but said: "Why do you bother to get it back from Daosheng? You carved that jade anyway, why don't you just carve another piece for Master Cheng Tian?"

"It's different," Zheng Mingxian shook his head, "That piece was the first gift I gave to Cheng Man."

At the same time, Lin Wu, who had left the black market, suddenly received news from Bo Yuting.

[I have already found the pendant you want to check. 】

[The rough stone comes from a sinkhole in Dayuling, Lingnan. It is very dangerous there. Very few people can get in and out safely. Therefore, the rough stone circulating on the market is very rare and the price is extremely expensive. 】

[The latest circulation was more than half a month ago. Zhang Yuge, a famous master Zhang in Beicheng, sold three pendants made of this rough stone. In addition to your grandfather, the others were bought by the Zhao family and Chen family in Beicheng, and they were also bought for their old men. 】

[However, the old men of these two families passed away one after another not long after receiving the pendant. 】
