Chapter 474: It's a showdown
"I can't tell you my purpose just yet." Her voice was a little cold.
I couldn't help but feel a little flurry in my heart as I listened.
Looking at Gardenia's back, counting the last time we separated, we hadn't seen each other for a long time.
I didn't expect her to pull me here in this way.
But after thinking about it, when I came out of my fourth uncle's house before, I always felt that someone was following me.
But because I was so drunk, I couldn't tell who was following me.
Gardenia's approach, to a certain extent, helped me cut off a problem.
She brought me here, and I'm sure she got rid of the rest of the people who were following me.
But she called me to go to the shipwreck, but she still wouldn't tell me the purpose.
But after thinking about it, many people want to take the key left by my grandfather and open the so-called last treasure house for the sake of my grandfather's so-called treasure.
I guess that's what gardenia does.
"If you don't want to say it, why did you find me with you?"
I asked deliberately.
Gardenia glanced at me, his eyes were deep, as if there was a bay of lake water hidden, so that people couldn't see the depth at all.
"You're the best fit, so I'll have to go with you."
Gardenia said with a serious face.
Me: "......"
When I heard this, I couldn't help but be a little speechless.
"Since you don't want to say, then how can I go with you? And there will definitely be a lot of people going by then, do you think you can avoid those people and go on your own? β
I said lightly.
"Then you don't have to worry about it."
She spoke. It's as if everything is ready.
Gardenia doesn't look very old, but there are a lot of mysteries about her.
"What good will it do me if I go with you?" I asked quickly.
There are some things that I want to be open and honest with Gardenia, but Gardenia may not be willing to be open and honest with me.
"It must be good for you, you will know what your grandfather's secret is when the time comes?"
Gardenia said lightly, her face was extremely calm, as if she couldn't see any mood fluctuations on her face at all.
But all along, Gardenia has been like this.
I'm used to it, too.
I hummed, suddenly not knowing how to answer.
My grandfather's affairs are already the affairs of the previous generation, and I am all in the next generation, and it is my father who has to deal with it.
It's just that my dad may have dealt with it too.
And what makes me most curious is, why did my grandfather appoint me when he gave his last words?
The fourth uncle was also there at that time.
I felt that my grandfather seemed to know that something was going to happen, but even so, he didn't mean to call my dad back.
and specially instructed me not to tell the fourth uncle.
There are so many mysteries in this that I can't see the mystery hidden inside.
Until now, I suspect that my dad sent them out to do something.
It's just that I don't have proof.
And the fourth uncle may be the one who is left out.

It may be that I didn't answer immediately.
Gardenia said again.
"What do you think my grandfather is hiding?"
I asked rhetorically.
Gardenia looked at me.
There was no answer.
After waiting for a while, I asked, "Don't talk about my grandfather's secrets, you also have a lot of secrets hidden in you, can you tell me what your secrets are?" β
My curiosity fell on Gardenia.
Gardenia stared at me and said, "What do you want to know about my secret?" β
When she said this, her attitude seemed to be a little indifferent.
When I saw her aloof attitude, I felt like she wouldn't tell me.
At this time, the evening breeze blew, which made me more sober at once, and I did not back down in the face of Gardenia's attitude, because I did want to know something about her.
Her affairs are not surprising, and they also have something to do with my grandfather.
"When you were in the archaeology of the shipwreck, you also appeared next to my grandfather, you were very young at the time, and now after so many years, your appearance has not changed, why is this? And, what happened on the shipwreck, can you tell me about it? β
I asked straight to the point.
Gardenia's eyebrows flickered, probably not expecting me to ask so much, asking so much detail.
"Where did you get this information?"
Gardenia asked me.
"It's been so long, how could I not know something, since we are going to cooperate, there are some things, you should be honest with me, what happened in the first place, why was the wreck salvaged and then abandoned? What is all this for? Also, after so many years, why hasn't the archaeological team brought up the shipwreck again? β
In fact, a lot of things have been picked up in that huge wreck.
Even if there are some leftover things, they should not have much value.
But even so, how could such a large sunken ship be thrown directly into the water.
Just this shipwreck has a lot of research value.
I took a deep breath and stared at Gardenia, waiting for her to answer.
After a moment of silence, Gardenia said: "Your grandfather was the chief expert back then, in fact, there are many things that you should ask your grandfather." β
Me: "......"
I thought to myself what she was talking nonsense, my grandfather is gone now.
What else do I ask? Ask my grandfather.
"My grandfather is gone, and now I can't ask him."
I personally sent my grandfather's body to the crematorium.
"Well, I know, I can only tell you a rough idea, but Chen Zhuo, are you ready to listen?"
Gardenia asked me.
"Of course you're ready, you say." I had some waves in my heart, and I couldn't help but feel a little excited, the things of the past are now about to be opened layer by layer.
It may have been covered with dust for a long time, but I don't mind looking at the secrets beneath the thick dust.
"About more than ten years ago, a shipwreck was discovered in the sea, and not many people knew about it at that time, only a few people knew."
"Which ones?"
I asked.
When Gardenia heard my question, she couldn't help but roll my eyes.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, since Gardenia didn't let me ask, I won't ask.
Let her continue.
I closed my mouth, and Gardenia continued to say: "Back then, your grandfather, me, Wang Zhengkai, and Chen Huamin ...... There are a few other people you don't know. β
When this sentence landed, I couldn't help but start turning the river and the sea in my heart.
When I heard the three words Wang Zhengkai, I was stunned for a few seconds, feeling that this name was somewhat familiar, but I couldn't remember where I heard it for a while.
But I didn't ask about it.
But Chen Huamin's three words once again grabbed my attention.
Chen Huamin?
The person my fourth uncle said.
