Uncle Yu was still lost in the joy of the eight million and thirty to forty million, almost spitting on Old Man Yu's face. He was so excited he was shaking like crazy.
"Dad! Dad! We're rich! Our family is going to be rich!!"
But Old Man Yu's eyes, shining with light in the dark, after a moment of being stunned by the huge fortune, forced himself to pull back a bit of reason.
One very important question stabbed his hot head like an ice pick.
"Wait!"
"Second son, don't be happy yet! Think about it… where did these things come from?"
Antiques?
Qin Emperor's coins?
Their Yu family had been simple farmers for eight generations. Where could they get such priceless antiques?!
That bad girl Celine, and Eleanor, where did they get the connections to get these things?
And they could sell them for eight million at a high price?!
This thought was like a bucket of icy water dumped on Old Man Yu's money-burning brain, cooling him down a bit.
"Uh…" Uncle Yu's excitement also stopped suddenly, frozen in place.
Yeah, where did they come from?
He had been too busy being excited about the money to think about this question.
Old Man Yu's eyes moved quickly, then he made a decision.
"Second son, quietly follow them! Follow from far away!"
"See where they go, who they meet, and find out if the stuff in the box is real!"
"Follow what follow, Dad?"
Uncle Yu didn't care.
"Why waste effort? We already know they have treasures and have sold them! Why not just go to their door and ask directly?!"
"With their situation, can they really turn things around?"
"If we go to their house and ask for money for your retirement and to share with the family, would they dare to say no?!"
In Uncle Yu's simple and rough mind, Celine's family was still weak and could be controlled easily.
For more than ten years, he was used to things going smoothly.
As long as they asked for it, the other side had to give it.
"Fool!"
Old Yu was so angry at his son's stupid words that he almost fainted, glaring at him hard.
Go directly to their door to demand it?
Of course, he wanted to!
He hated it and wished he could rush to Celine's house right now, grab that box, and turn those eight million or tens of millions into his own!
But!
Having lived most of his life, he still had some caution!
Who knew how much of what Celine said was true or false?
What if… what if she said it on purpose for them to hear?
What if it was a trap waiting for them to fall into?
The more Old Yu thought about it, the more scared he felt.
That girl Celine didn't wear it early or late, but today she wore that thick, scary gold bracelet on purpose to attract attention.
Also, last night, when he "just happened" to visit to check on Shenan's illness, he "just happened" to overhear Celine and Eleanor whispering about going to Professor Li's place at night to deliver something.
And they specially said it had to be "quiet," so no one would find out...
Now, again, it was so "coincidental" that the two of them hid in the woods and heard this secret worth tens of millions...
This was way too much of a coincidence!
It was like someone had secretly arranged everything!
A cold feeling slowly climbed up Old Yu's spine.
But he didn't plan to tell simple-minded Uncle Yu about these doubts and schemes.
He just kept his face dark and urged again:
"Stop talking nonsense! If I tell you to go, then go! Find out what's really going on first! Hurry up!"
