Quick Travel System: Age Strategy

After a long time, Hua's father and mother looked at each other. Hua's mother said intermittently with scarlet eyes: "Child, we can't leave. It's too risky to go together... Once we are caught, none of us will survive. The people behind this must want to kill us... You have been at home since you were a child and rarely go out. They probably don't know you, so only you can run without being noticed."

"Yes, your mother is right. Go back and pack your things and leave at night when the servants are asleep. Go to the dock where the ships are docked, and your uncle will meet you there."

After saying this, Hua's father put on a gentle smile on his face and locked his eyes on Chengcheng. He wanted to take a last look at his daughter, as he was afraid he would never see her again after tomorrow.

"Mom and Dad...I won't leave...If you want to leave, let's go together!"

So what if her family was destroyed? Leaving her parents to suffer this would be unfilial of her. Reasonably speaking, leaving is the best option for her, but she is a living person who has experienced the life of an orphan for many years in modern times.

You are the only one left in the world, and loneliness is common. No one at home tells you to cover yourself with a blanket when you go to bed, no one says good night to you, and no one tells you to stop playing with your phone and that staying up late is bad for your health.

Father Hua stood up and said, "Come with me first."

A group of people followed his steps into the study. Father Hua twisted the tiger head ornaments on the bookshelf a few times, and with a slight sound, the bookshelf moved to both sides, revealing a secret door inside.

"Let's go in first."

They stepped into the dark secret door, which closed again the moment the three of them entered. The bookshelf snapped shut and returned to its original state. There was no way to tell any difference from the outside.

Father Hua pulled up the electric wire on one side of the wall, and the lights on both sides of the wall instantly lit up, illuminating the front and revealing the stairs of the secret door.

"Dad, there is such a place in our house?!" Cheng Cheng asked in confusion. She never remembered having such a place, and it was not introduced in the Hua family's background.

"This is a mechanism I secretly built when I was building the mansion. The method of deciphering it is the same as the one designed in your grandfather's room in the old house. Originally, this mechanism was designed to prevent enemy invasion and to provide an escape route to save the lives of my family."

"Over the years, I have placed most of my family's wealth in these passages, and there are some things that are not convenient to put in the open. I will tell you how to operate this secret passage later. When you have the chance, move these items out of your home and keep them for your future use."

Mother Hua handed the handbag to Cheng Cheng, "Child, these are what I want to give you. You can keep these and take them out when you go to other cities to spend money. These are all opened in secret with an account. No one outside knows about it, so you can spend them without worry."

Cheng Cheng opened them and saw that there were two passbooks, one with a Swiss Bank and the other with a savings bank in her own country. There was a lot of money in both, enough for her to live a worry-free life and support five or six people without any problem.

"Dad...Mom...do you really have to make me go?"

Hua's father and mother were so good to her. They gave her so many things even though they were worried about her leaving. They even told her about Anmen's father.

Cheng Cheng felt a softness in his heart, as if it was stuffed with soft cotton. His eye sockets were aching and his vision was blurry.

"Go away, kid! Don't come back once you leave!! Once you leave the mansion, don't recognize us outside. Take care of yourself."

"Dad, Mom..."

Before Cheng Cheng could finish, Father Hua pushed her and said, "Child, I'll tell you how to open the secret door. Remember it and leave quickly. It's still dark, but I'm afraid you won't be able to leave when it's daybreak! Goodbye, my child."

Father Hua touched Chengcheng's head and then hardened his heart and pushed her out of the secret passage.

When Cheng Cheng turned around and looked again, the door to the secret passage was about to close, revealing half of the reluctant faces of Hua's father and mother.

Mother Hua shouted to Cheng Cheng outside the door for the last time: "Child, don't look back, go get on the boat and leave, take care of yourself!"

"Dad!! Mom!!!"

Cheng Cheng cried out to Mr. and Mrs. Hua heartbreakingly and wanted to rush over to hug his parents one more time to say goodbye, but the secret door did not give him the chance and blocked the last bit of warmth in the family, so he failed to hug his parents.

She squatted on the ground and sobbed. Cheng Cheng couldn't understand what the significance of this change in this era was.

From the perspective of the daughter of the Revolutionary Committee of the last world, she was not happy. Why did Zhou's father and mother end up like that even though they became better? From the perspective of the daughter of the red capitalist in this world, she was also not happy. Why did a passionate and patriotic businessman fall to such a state?!

She couldn't figure out whose fault it was, and it seemed to make sense no matter whose perspective she looked at it from.

Half an hour later, Chengcheng cheered himself up and decided to think about what to do next.

The golden finger of the portable convenience store is still there, so I can collect some of the property in the secret passage. Otherwise, if someone finds out that there is such a passage tomorrow, there is no guarantee that there won’t be thieves who will be tempted.

Hua's father and mother cannot reveal their golden fingers yet. Based on the characteristics of businessmen and the materialism they have always believed in, they will definitely think that she is not their daughter, but a monster. It is better to hide it from them, so that the risk of exposing themselves will be reduced.

Chengcheng put the handbag that Hua's mother gave her into the convenience store and put it on the counter. After she felt lighter without anything on her, she used the martial art of floating on water to climb over trees and houses and reach the old house.

Just before leaving, Hua's father told her that there was a secret passage in grandpa's bedroom in the old house, and she wanted to go in and collect some items from the old house.

After easily dodging the servants in the old house, Chengcheng successfully arrived at his grandfather's door, opened the door and entered the bedroom, then took out a flashlight from a convenience store to search for the mechanism.

A similar ornament was found on the bedside table. Grandpa's was in the shape of a small lion head. Chengcheng opened the mechanism according to the method taught by Hua's father, and the bed began to move upwards, revealing a secret door under the bed.

She opened it and crawled in, shone the flashlight on the walls on both sides, found the light and turned it on, and the inside of the secret door began to become brighter.

At this time, the secret door returned to its original shape and the bed became flat again.

Cheng Cheng walked down the stairs and saw that there were indeed many sandalwood boxes placed under the passage. Because no one had taken care of this place for a long time, many webs had formed on the boxes and they were covered with a lot of dust.

After cleaning these up and opening all the boxes, I found that the contents were different. Some were bottles and antiques, some were calligraphy and paintings, books (including a large number of rare copies and foreign works), and some were gold bars, jewelry, and so on.

If these things were discovered by the bad guys, the family would be in trouble. Not only would they plunder everything, but the punishment would also be even more severe.

Chengcheng moved all these to the warehouse in the portable convenience store. In the last world, he had bought a lot of clothes and fabrics and stored them in the warehouse, as well as bicycles, which were valuable things in that era.

With these boxes placed here, the warehouse has more variety and there is almost no room left.

Worried that there would be nowhere to put the bicycle after collecting more, Chengcheng pushed it to the convenience store counter. Instead of putting it in the warehouse for now, he put it here so that it would be easier to find when he needed it.

After the old house was almost cleaned up, Chengcheng left the house through the escape passage in the secret corridor and prepared to return to the mansion.
