Chapter 471: Secrets in the Bar
Jiang Ping's words made Ye Mei's eyes light up, and she said with some uncertainty: "There is also such a possibility, but ...... Since I took over the bar, it's been extensively renovated and nothing out of the ordinary!"
Although Ye Mei said this, the more Jiang Ping thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, and hurriedly said to her: "Let's not rush to conclusions, you can talk about the history of the Blue Moon Bar first." β
Ye Mei nodded lightly, then leaned on him and whispered: "This bar has been around for a long time, but it was not a bar before, but my home." When I was young, my dad bought the land and found someone to build the two-story building. β
Thinking of her childhood, Ye Mei's already hazy eyes became even more confused, and she continued softly: "At that time, it wasn't so lively here, and this two-story house was the best house on the whole street. I hugged my father's leg and looked at the new home, and I was really full of joy, and I still remember that feeling vividly. β
Speaking of this, Ye Mei sighed softly, and then said faintly: "Although we have a new home, my dad is getting busier and busier, and many times I am the only one at home, waiting for him to come back every day." As I grew older, I had more and more houses in my family, but I had fewer and fewer opportunities to see my father. Later, I couldn't stand the loneliness anymore, so I turned the first floor into a bar. Although I am a little tired and annoyed every day, I finally don't have to be alone. β
This was the first time Jiang Ping had heard Ye Mei mention her past, but he didn't expect that this Yeyan woman would have such an experience, and he couldn't help but gently hug Ye Mei to express comfort.
However, although he was listening to Ye Mei's past, Jiang Ping did not stop thinking. It can be known from Ye Mei's words. The two-story building at the Blue Moon Bar was built by her father. And this also made Jiang Ping see greater hope.
Ye Mei continued: "That day, my father said that he would come back to see me. I was very happy, but I waited until midnight, only for the bad news that he would never come back, and the advice that I must run the bar well and never transfer it to anyone else. β
Speaking of this, Ye Mei gently wiped the corners of her eyes, and also felt that she was a little weak today, she was a very independent woman, even if she had a skin-to-skin relationship with Jiang Ping. I didn't want him to see this side of me, so I quickly cleaned up my mood and said: "Since that day, I have been living alone in this bar, and I feel quite comfortable." Then I met you and started to stay in one place again like before, waiting for someone to come back. β
Although Ye Mei didn't make it clear, she also faintly revealed her feelings for Jiang Ping. Knowing that it was not easy for Ye Mei, who was independent and strong, to say such a thing, Jiang Ping was also moved to hug her waist and said, "Although I will also ask you to wait, I will definitely not come back, you can rest assured!"
Ye Mei smiled charmingly at Jiang Ping, and then sighed leisurely: "I already know a truth. Don't take a man's word for it completely, so ah...... Hehe. β
But that being said, that said. Ye Mei was still very happy in her heart. Although she has heard a lot of similar words, she always feels that coming out of Jiang Ping's mouth is always very reassuring.
Jiang Ping also knew not to argue with women on this kind of issue, but quickly changed the topic and said: "Hearing you say this, I am even more sure that the property left by your father is hidden in the Blue Moon Bar!"
It is not unreasonable for Jiang Ping to say this. If the house at the Blue Moon Bar belonged to someone else, then it was indeed unlikely that Ye Mei's father would be hiding something here. But this two-story building was built by her father, so there are many opportunities to do tricks.
Jiang Ping highly suspected that Ye Mei's father might have built places like secret doors and basements when he built the house in the first place. It's just that he didn't know for what reason, he didn't tell Ye Mei. Later, Ye Mei's father suddenly encountered an accident and wanted to tell her but had no chance. He didn't worry about telling Ye Mei this big secret through others, worried that it would bring disaster to his daughter. So he only left a sentence of "run the bar well, don't transfer it", and passed away with regret.
It is precisely because of this speculation that Jiang Ping will say this with such confidence.
Ye Mei also gradually developed the habit of trusting Jiang Ping very much, and after listening to his words, her eyes lit up and said, "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure I don't dare to say, but at least I'm six or seven percent sure. Jiang Ping didn't dare to say anything, listened to the movement downstairs for a while, and said: "The bar is about to close, or wait for everyone else to leave, let's go down and have a look!"
"Okay, okay!" Ye Mei hurriedly agreed, looking like a girl who couldn't wait to go on an adventure.
Ye Mei would be so active, not that she was so keen on money. If this was the case, Ye Mei would have sold the bar a long time ago, and she would immediately become a multimillionaire. The reason why she was so concerned about this matter was just to know what her father had left for her. This question has been bothering Ye Mei for a long time, and now that she finally has the opportunity to find the answer, she will of course be a little excited.
Looking at Ye Mei's eagerness, Jiang Ping couldn't help but smile. He patted Ye Mei's sturdy buttocks, and then said with a smile: "Then hurry up, I also have to make some preparations, do you have a flashlight here?"
Finally waiting for all the staff at the bar to leave, Jiang Ping and Ye Mei hurriedly went downstairs with flashlights. Over the years of running the bar, Ye Mei has renovated it several times. For example, the second floor has been completely renovated, and most of the first floor is also the same.
According to Jiang Ping's experience, it is unlikely that these renovated places will hide any secrets. Ye Mei's father would not be so stupid, hiding a large amount of wealth in a place that could be demolished at any time. Where there are hidden secrets in the bar, there are only a few places left on the first floor.
"There are no major changes in this building, except for the staff locker room on the first floor and the storage room at the back. Ye Mei whispered to Jiang Ping: "The staff locker room has only added a few changing boxes, and the storage room has almost not been changed at all. β
Jiang Ping nodded and said, "Okay, let's check them one by one."
The two went to the staff locker room first. It also doubles as a rest room for employees, and Jiang Ping used to come every day when he used to work at the Blue Moon Bar, so he is still very familiar with this place. So he didn't hesitate at all when he came in, but immediately began to check.
Jiang Ping banged on the walls and even the floor, and carefully observed every inch, hoping to find out what was out of harmony with the surroundings. However, what is disappointing is that after working hard for more than an hour, Jiang Ping has not gained anything at all.
Jiang Ping was very confident in himself, convinced that he had not missed anything, and the secret left by Ye Mei's father was obviously not here.
The two then went to check the storage room, but found nothing. There were no mechanisms, secret doors, or even built-in safes.
At this time, Ye Mei lost her confidence a little, and couldn't help frowning and said to Jiang Ping: "Could it be ...... Is this just our thoughts?"
"No, Hong Jinlong's attitude and your father's dying message show that there must be something wrong with this bar!" Jiang Ping encouraged Ye Mei: "Think about it again, there is anything that has not been changed." β
Ye Mei habitually poured two glasses of red wine at the bar, handed Jiang Ping a glass and said, "It's gone, just these two places haven't moved......
Speaking of this, Ye Mei suddenly stopped, looked at the red wine glass in Jiang Ping's hand and said loudly: "Yes, why did I forget here!"
Jiang Ping hurriedly asked, "What did you think of again?"
"Wine cellar!" Ye Mei said to Jiang Ping with a happy face: "The bar also has a basement, which is a small wine cellar, and it has never been rebuilt!"
"Yes, the basement, the wine cellar!" Jiang Ping also said with a happy face: "If your father wants to hide something, this place is the most suitable!"
"Follow me!" Ye Mei hurriedly put down her wine glass, took Jiang Ping's hand and walked to the back of the bar.
The staircase leading to the cellar is behind a small door in the storage room, which is very hidden and can only be seen by bypassing a row of shelves. Behind the small door, there is a narrow and steep staircase that leads to the cellar below. Jiang Ping's heart couldn't help but move when he saw this staircase for the first time, and he felt that he was getting closer and closer to the secret of the bar.
Although this was in Ye Mei's bar, she was much more familiar with the wine cellar than Jiang Ping, but Jiang Ping still insisted on walking in front and protecting Ye Mei behind her.
Ye Mei also knew in her heart that this was just a gesture made by Jiang Ping, but she was still very happy in her heart. didn't object to Jiang Ping's arrangement, just exhaled like a randy and followed behind him, enjoying the happy feeling of being protected.
The stairs were not long, and the two quickly descended to the cellar. Jiang Ping turned on the switch on the wall, and the lights in the wine cellar immediately turned on, and he also saw the whole picture of the wine cellar.
The area of the wine cellar is not large, only about 20 square meters. All four walls are made of red brick and have not been plastered with cement. Because it has been built for a long time, many red bricks have been a little mottled, and there is a feeling of experiencing wind and frost.
There are several rows of shelves in the wine cellar, which makes the already small wine cellar look a little crowded. On these shelves, there are quite a few wine bottles. In addition to red wine and champagne, there are quite a few other varieties of alcohol.
Jiang Ping casually looked at the labels on a few wine bottles, and then smiled at Ye Mei: "Hey, you really have a lot of good things here!"
"Don't forget that I run a bar, how can I support the faΓ§ade without a few bottles of good wine?" Ye Mei glanced at Jiang Ping, and then urged: "Don't talk about wine, let's see if there is a problem here!"
"Look at me!" Jiang Ping smiled at Ye Mei and began to carefully inspect the wine cellar.
In fact, although Jiang Ping has not discovered anything at the moment, he has already determined that there must be something wrong with this wine cellar! (To be continued......
