"Yes, but this safe looks old~"

When Li Manrui walked over, Lin Zitan was in a daze at this relatively old looking safe, and he suspected that this time even Li Manrui might not know the password of this safe.

"Boss, I think it's weird, this ...... Won't the safe sink if it's placed here?"

Xiao An stood behind Li Manrui and couldn't help but speak.

"Downstairs is a garage, maybe he has done special protection, Xiao An can go to the garage downstairs to have a look, the password is 1986. ”

Li Manrui listened to Xiao An's words and replied very calmly.

"Oh, okay, then I'll go take a look below. ”

Xiao An finished and walked downstairs.

"What could this password be?"

Lin Zitan looked at this safe, a little at a loss.

"Give me a try for his birthday~"

As he spoke, Li Manrui had already squatted down and started to drive.

This safe looks much simpler than the one in the basement, a bit like a combination lock for a suitcase, a four-digit code.

Li Manrui entered Mike's birthday and found that it couldn't be opened at all, so she tried her birthday again, but it didn't work, and then Annie's, it still didn't work.

"Try the year of birth?"

Lin Zitan suggested.

Li Manrui entered the birth years of the three people again, but it was still wrong.

"How can it be so strange?"

Li Manrui wondered.

"This safe looks like it's been a few years old, and I guess Mike has never opened it since he put it in. ”

Lin Zitan guessed.

"Boss, I looked, there is indeed a place very strange below the top of the security roller door, as if there is a special hanging ceiling there, only a closer look can see that there is a prominent place, boxy, and the size of the four floor tiles just coincide. ”

Xiao An ran up and said excitedly.

"Well, I thought about it, but now the password is not right, I don't know how...... Oh, Mom, you give it a try in 1986."

Lin Zitan suddenly thought that the password of the garage was 1986, so would the password here be the same?

"Open ......"

As soon as Li Manrui adjusted the number to 1986, she heard the sound of a secret lock inside, and the safe opened from the inside.

Xiao An's eyes were fixed on the safe, so as soon as he heard the voice, he immediately said excitedly.

After the safe was opened, what Lin Zitan and they saw turned out to be two black and steep sacks, Lin Zitan stretched out his hand, it didn't feel like cash or jewelry, one pocket weighed a bucket of cooking oil.

They took out two cloth bags and placed them on the desk that had been removed, and opened them, revealing a moisture-proof plastic bag with a hundred and ten gold nuggets in it.

On closer inspection, it reads "Johnson Matthey Fine Gold 9999 2 Ounce Troy."

"Is this what a gold bar is called?!"

Xiao An opened his mouth and said in surprise.

"There's another note here~"

Li Manrui pulled out a somewhat obtrusive piece of paper from the middle of the pile of small 2-ounce gold bars, on which was a 200-ounce purchase receipt, with the information of the purchaser and the purchase price of $249.86 per ounce at that time.

The time happened to be the beginning of January 2000, and the total value plus taxes was more than 50,000 US dollars, and there was a small line at the back of the receipt.

Lin Zitan took it and took a look, and it wrote:

"Fifty thousand dollars, 14 years of marriage, this is my youth?"

Lin Zitan suddenly thought of the time when Li Manrui and Mike got married, it happened to be 14 years, poor Mike, a marriage paid for his youth, and a marriage paid for his life, thinking of this, he sighed helplessly.

"Gold was too cheap back then!"

Xiao An secretly glanced at the price on the receipt and couldn't help but speak.

Indeed, the price of gold has skyrocketed as a hard currency since the pandemic, and is now close to $2,000 per ounce, compared to less than $250 when Mack bought it in 2000.

After 24 years, this gold has increased by 8 times, and if you sell it, it will be enough for a down payment on a villa!

------------------

"I really didn't expect that he would last up with these two bags of gold, even if it was worth more, what could it be?"

Li Manrui looked at the small yellow gold bar on the desk, and did not feel any joy.

At least what he thinks in his heart is to leave it to you, so don't think too much, the past is gone, just like what he wrote in his diary: what many people think is the end is actually the real beginning.

Life is forward-looking, and he also hopes that you will live better and better, and have a new beginning!"

Lin Zitan may not fully understand Li Manrui's loss, but he always feels that Mike doesn't mean to blame anyone, it seems that he has already seen through life and death, but ......

Thinking of this, Lin Zitan's heart still swelled with an inexplicable emotion, which was also the reason why he had never been able to hate Mike.

Now that the whole room was empty, they had found out what was under the floor, and several people were relieved.

Regardless of whether Mike really intended to leave these to them, Li Manrui knew that in her own heart, losing Mike would also lose all her yearning for love life.

But at her age, if not anything else, she has learned to accept her fate, so no matter what, she has to move forward, which is why she decided to redecorate this place.

"You take this half, and I will leave the remaining half for Anne as a dowry. ”

Before leaving, Li Manrui packed the two bags as before, and handed one of the bags to Lin Zitandao.

"No need Mom, I'm not short of this little money, you can keep it all for Anne!"

Lin Zitan didn't stretch out his hand, and directly refused.

"I've said a long time ago, no matter what, my love for you and Anne is the same, and if you have her, yours will have yours, and I won't change that, anyway, Mike has left these things to me, and I have the right to deal with them.

I told you to give it to you, and you took it, and I and Anne, as well as my grandfather, weren't you taking care of it all these years?

After Li Manrui finished speaking without doubt, he stuffed the heavy bag into Lin Zitan's hand, and walked upstairs with a frown.

"Your mother is right, you have been taking care of the family all these years, take it, so that your mother will feel better~"

After Grandma Li knew what was going on, she also helped Li Manrui persuade her.

"Grandma, look at what you said, I didn't do anything, these are all as they should be! Grandpa is not in good health, you and your mother should pay more attention and call me in time if something happens.

The heavy work at home is tiring, you two don't do it, if there is anything to ask Auntie to help, it's really not okay for Kyle to let him do it when he comes over, and I will also look for an honest Chinese bodyguard to come over recently......"

Lin Zitan explained everything before leaving Li Manrui's house.

"Boss, where are you going now?"

"Let's go straight home!"

Lin Zitan, who was sitting in the back seat, put his arm on the car window, stretched out his right hand and pinched his eyebrows, and sighed softly.

Lin Zitan knows that Li Manrui has not walked out of the haze of Mike's death all along, and it can be seen from the fact that she has been living in this house until now.

She flipped through every book, maybe what she wanted to find was not the journal, not the 200 ounces of gold, but the proof that Mike had ever loved her!

In the final analysis, Li Manrui is still a woman who longs for love in her bones, but unfortunately, life is like this, she doesn't know how to cherish it when she has it, and she always looks for it after she loses it.

Li Manrui's happiest days were probably the years when she ran a restaurant, because she was busy, she had no time to take care of anything else, and ignored Mike's, which became a barrier to protect her marriage.

"Jingle Bell~"

Just as Lin Zitan was in a complicated thought, the mobile phone in his trouser pocket suddenly rang.

"Hello?"

Lin Zitan took it out and saw that it was Zhang Jing, so he quickly opened his mobile phone and picked it up.
