Chapter 344 What are you waiting for?
Xu Youyou didn't get angry when she heard this, but asked, "Who did you buy it from?"
The Red Dragon King glared at Wu Xiaoguang.
Wu Xiaoguang was forced to do so, and even though he was reluctant, he still jumped out and said, "I'll make the decision. I'll sell the item to Mr. Hong..."
Old Lady Wu, who was standing beside Xu Youyou, stared at her nephew gravely and said, "When will it be your turn, a prodigal son, to make decisions about family affairs?"
Wu Xiaoguang said confidently, "I am the eldest grandson of the Wu family. Auntie, as a married woman, you should stop interfering in your mother's family's affairs."
Mrs. Wu said, "The old man is still lying in the hospital, and it's not your turn to make decisions about family matters."
A sinister glint flashed in Wu Xiaoguang's eyes: "Grandpa is old, who knows if he can survive this disaster."
Old Lady Wu scolded: "You bastard!"
Wu Xiaoguang said, "Don't think my words are harsh, Auntie. Great-grandfather is already ninety-seven. Do you really expect him to live to be a hundred? Can he really live to that age?"
Old Madam Wu looked at him coldly and said, "Even if something happens to the old man, his things should be handed over to me, his biological daughter, to deal with."
"I am the grandson of the Wu family..." Wu Xiaoguang still insisted on his own logic.
The old lady said, "It's a new society now. Children are the first heirs. What's the point of you being a grandson?"
Old lady Wu Xiaoguang was speechless.
Old Madam Wu said to the Red Dragon King and the master beside her, "We in the Wu family do not welcome you. Get out."
The Red Dragon King remained silent, and his own advisor spoke up, "Old Madam, the transaction between your nephew and us is witnessed by a contract."
Old Mrs. Wu saw the other party take out a paper contract, which had not only Wu Xiaoguang's signature but also a red handprint.
Wu Xiaoguang said: "Yes, Auntie, I have already sold this thing."
When they received the money, these people asked Wu Xiaoguang to sign the contract. He just glanced at it and only saw the huge amount of money. He didn't care whether there were any traps in the contract.
"If you change your mind at the last minute, you have to pay us three times the deposit. Old lady, if you can't afford it, then you can only put your nephew in jail."
Listening to the other party's threats, Xu Youyou thought that Mrs. Wu would compromise, but unexpectedly, a hint of determination flashed in the old lady's eyes: "It's a matter between you two, I won't interfere."
Wu Xiaoguang suddenly became anxious: "Auntie, are you going to watch me fall into the fire pit?"
The old lady said, "It's better for you to go in, so you don't get into trouble outside all the time."
The old lady glanced at Xu Youyou, not knowing what was wrong with this guy. At this critical moment, Xu Youyou seemed to be daydreaming. When she finally stopped distracting, he started playing with his mobile phone again.
Neither the Red Dragon King nor the legal advisor seemed to have expected the kind-looking old lady in front of them to be so cruel. The legal advisor simply said, "Old lady, you should be able to see that we are not people who follow the right path. Your nephew is the only male grandson of your Wu family. Are you really willing to watch him be tortured to death in prison?"
Mrs. Wu said, "He's no different from being dead now. He's still a nuisance to the family."
Everyone was speechless.
Wu Xiaoguang suddenly moved, almost running away. He thought that since he had earned the money anyway, the worst that could happen was that he would hide outside for a while.
But as soon as he took a step, he was clamped by a big hand: "You haven't finished your work yet, where do you want to go?"
Wu Xiaoguang said with a bitter face: "At worst...at worst I will return the money to you..."
The lawyer sneered, his eyes full of ferocity: "We don't want money, we just want to find the thing, find it for us quickly!"
"Speak."
The sudden sound of a clear female voice brought an instant silence to the crowded cellar.
"Are you all outlaws?" Xu Youyou asked with a smile.
"I remember the financial dispute, but there was only the risk of becoming a deadbeat, and no one said I would go to jail."
Wu Xiaoguang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
But the master leaned close to his ear and said sinisterly, "With so many of us, don't you think there are any other ways to deal with you? We have plenty of ways to make you want to live or die."
Wu Xiaoguang was so frightened that his face turned pale.
Although Xu Youyou couldn't hear their whispers, she knew that the master probably didn't say anything nice. She still had that smiling face: "What's the point of keeping him here? Do you think he can find something that you can't find?"
The Red Dragon King and the master's faces suddenly turned ugly. Just like Xu Youyou said, they were wandering around in this place like headless flies and couldn't find that thing at all.
If the Red Dragon King had not been able to sense the unusual aura in the cellar, he would not have stayed crowded here.
"Xu Youyou, do you want to compete with me again?" the Red Dragon King said dryly.
Xu Youyou used to be very afraid of them, but now that the Queen of Heaven had died inexplicably, she wasn't so scared anymore when facing the Red Dragon King. "Old man, please be reasonable. Everything has a first come, first served order. I came here earlier than you."
The Red Dragon King was not a reasonable person: "I paid."
Xu Youyou asked, "How did you know there were treasures here? Did you send someone to follow me, just like you did in Treasure Island?"
The Red Dragon King felt a pang of heartache when he thought of the precious magical compass he had lost, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he said, "Miss Xu, you are young and superficial. You are not the only one in the world who is good at finding treasures and picking up bargains."
Xu Youyou couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the Red Dragon King was also good at this? Wasn't this guy into metaphysics, bringing prosperity to people?
Logically speaking, he should be like the Queen, hiding behind and doing things instead of rushing to the front line to snatch things from her.
Xu Youyou raised her voice and said, "Treasures belong to those who are capable. The thing is right here. Can you get it?"
The Red Dragon King had an ugly look on his face. He had dug deep into the cellar but still couldn't find the thing.
Old Mrs. Wu couldn't help laughing: "If you don't have the ability, don't take up space."
Even though the Red Dragon King looked very unhappy, he did not leave. Instead, he looked straight at Xu Youyou and Old Lady Wu: "Can you find it?"
Xu Youyou turned around and gave Xu Fang a wink, and her all-round assistant produced two chairs from somewhere.
"Old lady, there is still a long time to go, just sit and wait." Xu Youyou said.
The Red Dragon King frowned upon hearing this: "What are you waiting for?"
Ever since these people broke in, they have been bickering with each other. The Red Dragon King even stopped using his hoe, and he couldn't help feeling empty in his heart.
Xu Youyou said: "I'm waiting for you to dig out the treasure."
