At nine o'clock in the morning, inside the Zhongda Bank in the North City.

"President Zhou, there is a young lady surnamed Shen looking for you outside the door," the assistant knocked on President Zhou's door gently.

"Surname Shen? Did you say anything about looking for me? President Zhou put down the pen in his hand and looked up at the assistant.

"This, Miss Shen didn't say."

"Let her in." Miss Shen, that should be her.

Shen Xue walked into President Zhou's office with Mu Ran.

"Hello President Zhou, my name is Shen Xue, and I am Shen Jin's granddaughter." Shen Xue looked at the kind old man in front of her, and couldn't help but think of her grandfather.

"Shen Xue? Your mother's surname is Qin? Governor Zhou looked at the person in front of him and asked this sentence firmly, because the person who came was too similar to Qin Ruo.

"Yes, Qin Ruo is my mother." Shen Xue lowered her head slightly, she couldn't remember her mother's appearance anymore, but she heard her father say that she looked very similar to her mother.

"President Zhou, my grandfather told me on his deathbed that if you encounter any difficulties in the future, I will come to Zhongda Bank to find you." Shen Xue didn't know why, but she had an indescribable sense of trust and closeness to this old man she had never met.

"Xiaoxue, you just call me Uncle Zhou." President Zhou looked at the old friend's favorite granddaughter and remembered a lot of the past.

"Your grandfather and I met at an auction in the North City about forty years ago." President Zhou looked at Shen Xue sitting on the sofa and recalled the events of the year.

"Back then, your grandfather had just gotten married, and he was in his prime. At the auction, the two of us took a fancy to a lot at the same time and competed for a long time. President Zhou looked at Shen Xue's expression very lovingly.

"Uncle Zhou, in the end, you and my grandfather, who knocked down that treasure?" Shen Xue asked curiously.

"Hahahaha, let me tell you, neither of us got it, and in the end, the treasure was bought by a local rich man surnamed Qin."

"Surname Qin? Could it be? Shen Xue looked puzzled.

"Yes, it's your grandfather." Governor Zhou smiled.

"After that auction, your grandfather and I became good friends, and more than 40 years have passed, and now you have grown up like this." President Zhou remembered the appearance of Shen Jin taking Shen Xue as a guest at home more than 20 years ago, when she was just able to walk, and she must not remember it now.

"Uncle Zhou, I came to ask you, did my grandfather say anything strange to you before he died, or did he have anything special to explain to you?" Shen Xue held a glimmer of hope and asked the doubts in her heart.

Governor Zhou looked at Shen Xue with a serious look on his face, knowing that the matter was not trivial, and began to carefully recall the events before Shen Jin's death.

"I can't really remember something special." It's been too long, how can he remember it so clearly.

"Or, Uncle Zhou, do you see if there is anything that makes you feel that something is wrong or unreasonable. Or, do you have any special code between you and your grandfather? Mu Ran saw Shen Xue's anxiety, and hurriedly added a few words on the side.

"Unreasonable things or codes?" President Zhou was also stunned.

"If you want to say that, there really is one. One night, your grandfather suddenly found me and told me that he had worked hard to find a painting, and he had specially asked someone to identify it, it was Dong Qichang's authentic handiwork, and asked me to open a safe for him and put it away. "President Zhou's eyes lit up!

"What's wrong with this?" Mu Ran was puzzled, it was just to open a safe for a painting, the Shen family was so rich, what was wrong?

Shen Xue looked at Mu Ran thoughtfully:

"Grandpa hates Dong Qichang the most." She looked up and said.

Grandpa has always studied antique calligraphy and painting, but I don't know why, he doesn't like Dong Qichang's painting style very much, and often says that it is "in vain".

"Yes, it is impossible for him to go to great lengths to find the true works of Dong Qichang." Governor Zhou added.

"And grandpa himself is a first-class calligraphy and painting appraiser, what calligraphy and painting in his hands can be known at a glance, how can he still need to identify again?" The more Shen Xue thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong.

"I see! Uncle Zhou, is the key to the safe opened by grandpa here? Mu Ran had a hunch that this safe was definitely not ordinary!

"That's a password safe, no key. Generally only the owner of the cabinet knows. President Zhou shook his head helplessly, he shouldn't be able to help these two juniors.

"Uncle Zhou, if you think it's convenient, can you take me to the safe to try the password?" Shen Xue looked at President Zhou, he looked a little embarrassed.

"Uncle Zhou, I know this matter is not in accordance with the regulations, but it is about grandpa's death, please help!" Shen Xue leaned in the direction of President Zhou, her eyes were soaked with tears, she hoped that the other party could accommodate her.

President Zhou was silent, but thinking that this matter was related to the death of his friend, then he couldn't ignore it.

"Okay then! Come with me. ”

Mu Ran and Shen Xue followed President Zhou to the place where the bank put a safe, and he also signaled the other employees to go out first.

"Xiaoxue, you try it slowly here."

"Okay, thank you Uncle Zhou, you can get busy first." Shen Xue is very grateful to this President Zhou.

After President Zhou left, Mu Ran and Shen Xue lay down next to the safe and studied the password.

"This password is a total of four digits, what can it be?" Shen Xue muttered to herself.

"Grandpa's birthday?" Mu Ran asked tentatively.

"You think it's you, using such a low-level password for your birthday?" Xiaoxue only felt that Mu Ran was too stupid.

"Then you can try it first, try everything you can think of."

Shen Xue began to try the combination lock.

More than ten minutes passed, and the beads of sweat on Shen Xue's head fell drop by drop, but she still didn't hear the sound of the box opening.

"Husband, I've tried all the important days I can think of, but it's still not right." Shen Xue's heart began to tense.

How so? Since Grandpa left this clue, it must be for us to open it. Mu Ran hugged Shen Xue and comforted her: "Don't be too anxious Xiaoxue, let's take our time." ”

Shen Xue was silent, she really didn't know what other possibilities there were.

"By the way, wife, what do you think, in those days when you just tried, if the rest of the Shen family got this box, they would be able to think of it!" A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Mu Ran's mind.

"So, you mean, it must be a day that only my grandfather and I know?"

"Yes! Grandpa is a very cautious person, and it is impossible to leave you a password that everyone knows. Mu Ran said affirmatively.

What Mu Ran said makes sense, since it was deliberately reserved for himself, it is impossible to set a password that anyone can think of.

"Days that only my grandfather and I know? What could it be? Shen Xue's mind repeated it over and over again.

"Don't worry, wife, think about it."

Shen Xue sat down, calmed down and thought about everything that happened between herself and her grandfather.

"I remember! Husband! She suddenly screamed, startling Mu Ran.

"Three months before my grandfather died, he asked me if I remember the first time he took me to the amusement park, and I thought my grandfather was reminiscing about the past, but now that I think about it, he deliberately emphasized that this day should have a deep meaning." Shen Xue looked at Mu Ran with tears in her eyes.

"That's it, grandpa specially emphasized, it must be to remind you!" Mu Ran also became excited.

"The first time I went to an amusement park, I remember when I was eight years old, and it happened to be my first day of summer vacation!" Shen Xue followed the memories and remembered many things.

"Then try it!"

Shen Xue figured out her thoughts and determined a date.

She tried it with trepidation.

The "Da Da Da" safe is opened!

Shen Xue and Mu Ran suppressed the ecstasy in their hearts, and carefully opened the safe, which contained a wooden box.

They took out the box and opened it gently, and in addition to the painting that President Zhou had just said, there was also a letter.

Xiao Xue trembled and took out the letter, only to see that the envelope was still written: Xiao Xue opened it personally.

"It's a letter left to me by my grandfather, husband, you see, it's my grandfather who left it for me." Shen Xue's voice trembled, and tears couldn't stop flowing down.

"Wife, let's see what grandpa wants to say to you!" Mu Ran held Xiaoxue's hand and said softly.

Shen Xue slowly opened the envelope and took out the letter inside, and the familiar words of grandpa came into view:

"Xiaoxue, my favorite granddaughter, when you open this letter, grandpa may have already left. Don't be too sad, kids, everyone will be this day.

Looking back on my life, when I was young, my family was poor and I often didn't have enough to eat; Later, he studied hard in his youth and worked hard to start a business in his prime, so that he had some achievements of the Shen family today. Now my grandfather is old, although he is not a great person, but he has finally left a family business for his children.

Xiaoxue, grandpa knows that you have suffered too much at home over the years, when you were young, grandpa was mostly focused on work and did not give you too much shelter, grandpa felt deeply guilty.

Now that you have grown up and become a kind, resilient, and optimistic girl, Grandpa is very pleased.

Xiaoxue, grandpa once intended to entrust all the Shen family's property to you, but there are too many people in the family to be peaceful, and the so-called "tree is a big wind", grandpa has to worry about your situation.

Xiaoxue, life is very long, grandpa has no way to protect you all the time, and you still need to walk by yourself in the future. There is some advice that Grandpa must tell you:

You must get along well with your mother and your sister, and everything is safe first.

Your father is too cowardly to trust him too much.

Your grandmother suffered a lot with me when she was young, and no matter what the situation is in the future, I hope you can treat her well.

Xiaoxue, grandpa also left you a painting, if you don't know how to maintain it, you can ask you more Uncle Zhou, he is a good friend of grandpa for life, you can completely trust him, he will teach you a good way.

Grandpa will protect you forever in heaven, my granddaughter! ”

Before Shen Xue finished reading the letter, tears had already wet all the letterhead. She sobbed uncontrollably as she held the letter to her chest: "Grandpa, I miss you so much, grandpa." ”

Mu Ran gently wiped the tears on her face: "Wife, don't cry, seeking justice for grandpa is what we should do now!" ”

Shen Xue listened to Mu Ran's words, wiped her tears, and opened the scroll painting.

It is Dong Qichang's "Rock Dwelling Map".

"Xiaoxue, don't you think grandpa's words are strange." Mu Ran looked at the painting, and then thought back to the letter just now, and always felt that something was wrong.

"What's strange?" Shen Xue's mind was very confused now, and she couldn't think anymore.

Mu Ran pointed to the most paragraphs of the letter: "Look here, grandpa asked you to get along with Chen Hui and Shen Yu, and as soon as the conversation changed, he asked you to pay attention to safety." ”

"Also, grandpa said that he originally wanted to leave all the family property to you, but he felt that the family was not peaceful, and for your safety, he could only give up."

Mu Ran pointed out the strange places in his heart one by one.

"That's a bit of a thing, could it be that they're going to affect my safety? And the family is not peaceful in recent years, before the death of grandpa, the family was obviously calm, and no one dared to cause trouble. Shen Xue also felt very strange.

"Yes, could it be that grandpa found something, but he can't say it directly, so he can only remind you like this?"

The two of them looked at the letters and paintings left by Shen Jin, and studied them carefully, but they really couldn't understand what grandpa meant.

"Husband, let's go home first." Shen Xue couldn't see the mystery inside, so she could only decide to take the painting and the letter home first.

They hurriedly said goodbye to President Zhou and drove home.

"Husband, did you say that grandpa really killed Chen Hui?" Shen Xue's heart couldn't calm down.

"If it's the end, let's go and say hello." Mu Ran looked at Shen Xue and raised his eyebrows.

"What do you mean?" Shen Xue was puzzled.

"Let's go! Go to Shen's house. Mu Ran suddenly made a sharp turn, turned around and changed directions.
