Chapter 125: The Chessboard
After Li Chenfeng and the others entered the villa, the boss immediately walked in front of Luo Wei and said with a smile: "My name is Chen Min, and I am the CEO of Yuan's Toy Manufacturing Company. ”
It seems that this guy is planning to use his identity as the CEO of the company to flirt with his sister, this trick may work on many gold worshippers in the city, but when it is used here in Luo Wei, there is basically no drama. She likes money, but she values principles more, and her first principle is to never deal with people she hates.
Luo Wei looked at him indifferently, didn't say a word, put on her headphones and continued to listen to music.
Although Li Chenfeng was also a little disgusted with this guy, after all, this was to spend the night in someone else's place, and it was really bad to make the situation too embarrassing, so he responded with a smile: "This is my girlfriend Luo Wei, the first time we meet, please take care of me." ”
As soon as the words came out, Luo Wei stomped on his feet hard, but she also understood in her heart that Li Chenfeng said this to make this guy surnamed Chen break his thoughts, so she didn't refute it.
As for Taozi, they have always thought that Li Chenfeng and Luo Wei are boyfriend and girlfriend, so naturally they won't say anything.
But even so, this Boss Chen didn't seem to have any intention of dying, and smiled at the indifferent Luo Wei.
"It turned out to be Miss Luo, this place is my private residence, if you have any needs, just tell the housekeeper, and he will try his best to meet you."
Then he turned to the housekeeper and said, "I'll go and tell the kitchen to prepare more things tonight, and you can take Miss Luo and them to see the room." ”
Zebo said to him politely, "Boss Chen, thank you so much. ”
"You're welcome."
After speaking, he walked towards the gate of the villa, and the housekeeper led Li Chenfeng and them to the backyard.
The place looked very spacious, and there were many strange stone carvings standing on the flat lawn, and Taozi walked up to one of the stone sculptures and said, "This thing is a lion, why does it only have a head and no body?" ”
The butler replied, "It's something left behind by the boss who died before." ”
Li Chenfeng asked with some confusion: "What, there are other bosses in this place besides Boss Chen just now?" ”
"That's right, Boss Chen is actually our wife's second husband, and her first husband died of liver cancer five years ago."
Li Chenfeng nodded thoughtfully. "No wonder, your boss's surname is Chen, but the company is called Yuan's Toy Manufacturing Company, it turns out that he inherited the company of your previous boss."
The housekeeper shook his head and said: "Actually, this is not the case, Yuan's company was founded by our wife's father, that is, our master, he is also the earliest owner of this villa, after the death of the master, the company was handed over to the wife, but the wife died in a fire three years ago, so in the end the company's equity fell to the boss him." ”
As soon as he heard this, Li Chenfeng pondered in his heart, wouldn't that Chen Min have picked up a lot of cheapness. An outsider not only inherited other people's companies and family property, but now that he is old, he doesn't know how to check, and he wants to provoke a young girl, and he doesn't look like a good person.
If his dead wife had found out, she would have come out of the grave in anger.
"Did the fire that killed your wife take place in this villa? I don't see any signs of a fire here. ”
"It is an attic near the villa, my wife believed in Buddhism during her lifetime, and liked to burn incense and chant Buddha in that attic, three years ago, my wife celebrated her birthday, and took some of her friends and servants to prepare a birthday banquet in the attic, who knew that there was a fire later, and more than a dozen people were burned alive in it, and now the attic has completely become a ruin."
"That means that apart from the housekeeper and some servants, Boss Chen is the only one in this villa?"
"There is also a young master, he studied abroad and rarely came back, in addition to his wife, his mother, the old lady, she is still alive. But because the death of his wife hit her too hard, the old lady is not mentally normal now, coupled with her lower limb stroke, she can now only sit in a wheelchair every day. ”
Li Chenfeng pondered, this big family really has some stories, but no matter what, Boss Chen, the son-in-law who comes to the door, seems to be the one who lives the best now.
At this time, Xiaoyu walked to the side of another stone statue and said, "There is another elephant here, but it only has one head. ”
Zebo said: "I don't think these things are ordinary stone sculptures, but like enlarged chess pieces, you see, there are elephants, lions, tigers, leopards, wolves, dogs, cats, and rats, and it should be a game of beast chess." ”
Xiaoyu said: "It seems that this is really the case, you can see the lawn below, it is composed of squares of different colors, this is what a chessboard looks like." ”
The housekeeper said: "Our master started by founding a toy company, and eventually became the largest toy manufacturer in this area. Toys not only brought him hundreds of millions of family assets, but also the greatest pleasure in his life, this game of stone chess was bored after his retirement. ”
Li Chenfeng said with a smile: "Then your master is really childlike." ”
"Yes, let me tell you a secret, in fact, this game of chess is not just a plaything that the master made out of his boring, it is said that there is a big secret hidden in it, as long as you can crack this secret, you can find the big treasure that the master left behind."
"Treasure?"
"That's right, it is said that at its peak, the market value of Yuan's toy manufacturing company reached hundreds of millions, but on the eve of his retirement, many of the company's shares were sold, and the money directly cashed out was as much as 100 million.
But later, until the old man died, no one in the family knew where the 100 million cash went, so later some people guessed that the old man hid him as a treasure, and because he liked to tinker with these toys and other things during his lifetime, the clues to the treasure are likely to be in this chessboard.
Later, perhaps because of the poor management of his wife and boss, the company's performance deteriorated little by little, and now the company is basically about to go bankrupt. So the boss also thought about finding the treasure left by the master, for which he even invited a lot of foreign experts, but he still failed to solve the mystery in this chessboard. ”
The more Li Chenfeng heard him say this, the more evil it became, this was just an ordinary game of beast chess, what secrets could be hidden in the middle, these uncharted things must be rumors from some servants.
"Five, it's not too early, it's going to get dark soon, I'll take you to see the room."
"Okay, I'm sorry for you."
As soon as he walked into the villa, Li Chenfeng saw a photo of a big cat at the end of the corridor, which was framed in a very beautiful frame, which looked very eye-catching.
"Mr. Butler, what is this?"
"This is the master's favorite pet when he was alive, and after the old man died, he disappeared somehow. In order to keep a memory, the old lady ordered us not to touch anything left by the old man when he was alive, so the picture of the cat has been hanging here. ”
