Chapter 1048: Things Exposed
In the past, when Wang Chengye came to the Bai family's old mansion and villa, there were still a lot of people up and down the Bai family, although many of them Wang Chengye didn't know, and even Bai Zhanyuan didn't mean to introduce these people to Wang Chengye, but after all, it could be seen that the Bai family was prosperous.
But this time, after Wang Chengye came to the Bai family's old mansion and villa, not to mention that Bai Zhanyuan didn't see his face, even if it was the rest of the Bai family, he didn't see any of them, and there were only two servants in the hall of the entire old mansion and villa, and none of the others appeared!
This strange atmosphere suddenly made Wang Chengye a little confused, he didn't know what was going on, but he couldn't leave directly, so he could only sit on the sofa and wait quietly.
After waiting for a few hours, the old housekeeper of the Bai family finally appeared in front of Wang Chengye.
Although he was just an old housekeeper of the Bai family, Wang Chengye did not dare to underestimate the other party at all.
has been in contact with the Bai family for such a long time, and Wang Chengye still knows a little about some things in the Bai family.
The old housekeeper in front of him, who looks dying, looks ordinary on the surface, but in fact, he is a core figure in the Bai family!
Even, even some of the younger generations of the Bai family have to be in awe of this old housekeeper!
Because Wang Chengye had seen it with his own eyes, the eldest young master of the Bai family, the first person of the third generation, Bai Wenxin, was once reprimanded by the old housekeeper in person because of a trivial matter!
And Bai Wenxin was reprimanded by the housekeeper, but he didn't dare to look rebellious, so he could only listen to it!
From this point alone, Wang Chengye can be sure that although this old housekeeper does not know his name, his status in the Bai family must not be low!
The most important thing is that don't look at this old butler's trembling appearance, this is definitely a master!
And, it's definitely the best!
After all, the Bai family is one of the ancient martial arts cultivation families, and to be able to have such a status among the Bai family, the strength of this old butler must not be underestimated.
Therefore, when facing this old housekeeper, Wang Chengye did not dare to slack off at all, and hurriedly got up and said hello to the other party with a smile, and the old housekeeper stood respectfully in front of Wang Chengye, and said in a deep voice: "Wang family master, I'm very sorry, something has happened to our Bai family recently, the family master and others are investigating, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in a short time, I hope the Wang family master will forgive me!"
Wang Chengye waved his hand again and again, and after a few polite words, he asked softly with some doubts: "Can I ask, what happened? If there is a need, maybe our Wang family can also do a little bit!"
After the old housekeeper hesitated for a moment, he sighed, shook his head helplessly, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: " In fact, it's not a big deal, the Wang family master and our Bai family are allies, and they also know a lot about the ancient martial arts cultivation world, so they should know that an ancient martial arts cultivation family like our Bai family has some treasure vaults in the family, just to store the cultivation resources accumulated by the family, but recently, our Bai family's No. 9 treasure house has been stolen, and the entire treasure house has been looted!"
Hearing the old housekeeper's words, Wang Chengye's pupils suddenly shrank slightly, and his heart stopped beating half a beat!
Originally, he was still wondering, what was the big thing that made the atmosphere up and down the Bai family change?
Now that he knew the reason, Wang Chengye was suddenly shocked!
It's really the seriousness of this matter, Wang Chengye doesn't even dare to think about it!
That's one of the Bai family's treasure troves!
Although listening to the serial number, it is only the No. 9 treasure house, but after all, it is one of the treasure houses of such a huge ancient martial arts cultivation family as the Bai family!
Regarding the strength of the major families in the ancient martial arts cultivation world, Wang Chengye still had a certain understanding.
In the entire ancient martial arts cultivation world in China, the Bai family can be regarded as a large-scale ancient martial arts cultivation family second to none, and the family heritage is not at all what ordinary people can imagine!
Even if it is the Wang family of the Demon City, purely in terms of financial resources, it may not be able to compare to the Bai family!
The cultivation resources accumulated by such a huge ancient martial arts cultivation family are of such a high value, which is unimaginable to ordinary people!
And a treasure trove must have at least hundreds of billions of cultivation resources, or even higher value!
But such a treasure trove was ransacked, which is equivalent to the evaporation of hundreds of billions of assets by the Wang family of the Demon City for no reason!
This matter is absolutely big!
Wang Chengye definitely didn't expect that such a big thing would happen to the Bai family!
Who is it that has the audacity to dare to touch the Bai family's treasure house and live impatiently?
Wang Chengye's heart is trembling!
Now the Bai family is only secretly investigating, and it has not affected the outside world, but if the investigation has no results, it is difficult to guarantee that the Bai family will not use drastic means!
By that time, the sky will fall apart!
Thinking of this, Wang Chengye's breathing became a little short.
After taking a deep breath, he finally replied, and after taking a deep look at the old butler in front of him, he asked softly: "Is there anything you need me to do?" If possible, our Wang family is also willing to help find out who is behind this matter!"
The old housekeeper smiled slightly, shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "The master of the Wang family is polite, this matter is still not the master of the Wang family! The master of the Wang family may not know that there were two people sitting in the No. 9 treasure vault at that time, one was the peak of the fifth layer of the Xuan level, and the other was a master of the ground level!"
Hearing the old housekeeper's words, Wang Chengye immediately laughed dryly.
He naturally knew what the old butler meant.
The one who can loot the entire treasure house from the hands of these two masters is definitely also an ancient martial arts master, and his strength is even stronger!
Such a person is not something that the Wang family can deal with at all.
His self-recommendation this time is really kicked on the iron plate, and it will not have any effect at all.
Thinking of this, Wang Chengye could only stand up, and after a few polite words with the old housekeeper, he left directly.
When Wang Chengye came to the Bai family, he originally wanted to ask about the struggle between the north and the south in the secular world, but now it seems that the Bai family is not in the mood to pay attention to him at all!
Wang Chengye could only give up temporarily.
After Wang Chengye left, he didn't see that in a room on the first floor of the villa, a gloomy figure slowly walked out.
When the old housekeeper saw this figure, he also nodded lightly: "Young Master!"
That gloomy figure is the eldest young master of the Bai family, Bai Wenxin!
Bai Wenxin also nodded slightly, and asked in a gloomy voice, "How is it?"
The old butler pondered for a moment, and then shook his head slightly: "It shouldn't have anything to do with him! This old guy's reaction should be that he just heard the news, and there is nothing abnormal!"
Bai Wenxin nodded slightly, then looked at the old housekeeper and said softly: "Master Hu, please trouble your old man to sit in the old mansion these days, I can't sit still here, why don't I go out and look for it and see if I can find some clues!"
The old butler nodded slightly.
Then, Bai Wenxin left the villa directly, but just as he was about to leave, Bai Wenxin's footsteps were slightly paused, and he looked at a slender figure that walked in outside, and asked in amazement: "Sister, where did you go, you haven't come back for a few days?"
On the opposite side of Bai Wenxin, Bai Qiumei's footsteps suddenly paused slightly, and a look of panic involuntarily appeared in the depths of her eyes, but then it dissipated in an instant and was not seen by anyone.
It's just that when she saw Bai Wenxin, Bai Qiumei suddenly came over angrily, and said in a deep voice full of anger: "It's not my maid yet! I don't know where I went, I said that I would accompany me to the province to play, but I didn't know where to run and went crazy halfway, and no one could find me! Leave me alone in the hotel for several days, I really don't want to, so I came back." ”
Hearing Bai Qiumei say this, Bai Wenxin immediately frowned.
Bai Qiumei's maid was found by herself when she was a child, she was originally an orphan, she has been following Bai Qiumei all these years, she is Bai Qiumei's own person, and she actually has nothing to do with the Bai family, but she has been by Bai Qiumei's side for so many years, so everyone is familiar with it.
Originally, Bai Wenxin would not have noticed this person, but now, when these two things came together, Bai Wenxin suddenly became suspicious!
After glancing at Bai Qiumei, Bai Wenxin turned around directly, pulled Bai Qiumei back to the villa, and relayed Bai Qiumei's words just now to the old housekeeper Hu Ye.
After hearing this, Hu Ye immediately frowned, and then asked directly: "Qiumei girl, is there anything wrong with your maid recently?"
Bai Qiumei shook her head blankly: "There's nothing wrong with it, we said that we would go out for a trip, and we all arrived at the place, but the result was ......"
Hu Ye's eyes flashed slightly, and his tone became a little serious: "I didn't ask you this, I asked, did you tell her about our Bai family's treasure house?"
Bai Qiumei's heart suddenly tightened slightly, but she didn't show it on the surface, after all, she had already been mentally prepared for such a problem, and if she was prepared, she would naturally not show her feet.
After thinking carefully for a moment, Bai Qiumei shook her head: "There shouldn't be, our Bai family's treasure house, even I'm not sure where it is, how can I tell her?"
Hu Ye frowned and thought for a long time, and then suddenly looked at Bai Wenxin: "Ask Xin, you give me the list of resources called by the No. 9 Treasure Vault before!"
Bai Wenxin nodded hurriedly and took the list.
Mobilizing resources from the treasure trove is a common thing, and it is recorded almost once a month, when and who went.
After Hu Ye finished reading it, he immediately frowned and asked, "What about the previous ones, how come this is only for the last three years?"
Bai Wenxin was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The previous one, then you have to ask grandpa, I don't know where the previous records are!"
Hu Ye nodded, then directly took the booklet, got up and said, "You two follow me to the No. 9 Treasure Vault to see the master!"
Although Bai Wenxin and Bai Qiumei were full of doubts, they still nodded and followed Hu Ye all the way to the No. 9 Treasure House.
Since this place has been completely exposed, and has even been ransacked, there is naturally no need to continue to keep it secret, and on the originally deserted hill, there are already dozens of masters of the Bai family guarding the surroundings.
When Bai Wenxin and the three of them came here, they could all feel the atmosphere of solemnity in the air!
Entering the treasure house, Bai Qiumei became even more nervous!
Because, she is the only one who knows that the reason why this place was looted is because of her leaks!
