Chapter 45: The Repository

"Natathan, serve tea. Summit beckoned, "I still know a little about your Chinese etiquette, and it is said that you have a unique knowledge of the tea ceremony." ”

The butler Natathan, an old man who was over half a hundred years old, took the tea tray from the maid, placed it on the table in the middle, poured the tea himself, and brought it to everyone.

Seeing that the patriarch began to talk about business, several members of the family branch left in a playful manner, and Mrs. Nixi also took Shirley and Ina upstairs.

Ai Yan and the others didn't say anything, smiled at Natassen and nodded, and took the teacup.

Ai Yan tasted it carefully, although she didn't have a trace of understanding of the tea ceremony, but she still felt that this tea was unusual, with a faint fragrance, mixed with a slight bitterness, flowing through her throat, and a refreshing warm current rose.

"This tea is brewed from neem leaves, and it has the special effect of relieving the heat and fitness, how do you feel?"

"Neem leaves? Before coming to India, Ai Yan learned about India's customs and local characteristics, and also had some understanding of this kind of tea from the neem tree. For the neem tree, Indians like to use its leaves to make toothpaste, facial cleansers for acne, and even soaps and health products to purify the blood, or simply use neem leaves to make tea and drink as they do now, but it is really good, especially in this hot summer day.

"I wonder what you think about the theft of several families' property?" Samit naturally put the teacup down.

"Takami doesn't think so, but he just has some ideas. As the captain of the team who was "driven ducks to the shelves", Ai Yan negotiated with Summit.

"But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

"I wonder why Mr. Summit is so sure that your family will be the next to be attacked?"

Summit took a deep look at Ai Yan and said with a smile: "These things that should be known to Your Excellency are actually very simple. Our family, along with the three families that were stolen before, monopolized the industrial chain in many cities such as New Delhi. Of course, we all work together, so I won't go into details. The thieves are very powerful, our four major families are all hidden behind the scenes, and no one knows about it on the surface, and our bunker is doing a good job. But the thieves know it! This is something we can't have imagined anyway. We also investigated on our own, but there were no clues, as if the funds were all gone. Although the stolen finances are not enough to shake our foundations, they are enough for us to eat a pot, you know, it is only relative to our total assets, but it is also a lot of money in front of outsiders alone. As for the four major families, only we are left with peace for the time being, so their next goal is self-evident. ”

"So that's ......," Ai Yan combed through the newly acquired information.

"Mr. Ai, I hope you can stop talking about this to outsiders, after all, it's good for everyone. ”

Looking at Summit's suddenly sharp gaze, his face was expressionless, and for a long time, Ai Yan smiled, and Summit laughed too.

"Of course, Mr. Summit, please rest assured, we will not disclose the private information of our customers, please rest assured. ”

"Haha, I'm just laughing, I think that such a big organization will not be optimistic about a small family like us, and we are still very relieved about the credibility of your organization. ”

"Little family"? Ai Yan smiled in her heart and didn't say anything, "Mr. Summit rest assured, since you already know that the thief will definitely come to your family, it will be easy to do." I just don't know, can Mr. Summit tell us where your family's property is, and we can focus on protecting it?"

"Of course, most of our family's possessions are kept in an absolutely safe place on this estate, and the protective measures are comprehensive. But the other three families have been stolen, and we don't have absolute confidence in the current protection, so please be careful with your team. ”

Ai Yan smiled: "This is nature. ”

"If you have any questions, you can always ask Butler Natasen, who has been a housekeeper in our family for decades and knows many things about the family even better than me. ”

Ai Yan also heard that the topic was about to end, and she stopped being verbose: "Okay, I think Mr. Summit, as the patriarch of the clan, must have a lot of things to deal with, so we won't be tired anymore, first ask Butler Natathan to take us to see the storehouse, and the rest will be left to us, Mr. Summit can rest assured." ”

"Okay, I think His Excellency Ai Yan is also a decisive person, so I won't have to worry too much. Natathan, you follow me to take these friends to see the storehouse, and leave the rest to them, and you have to cooperate fully. ”

"Yes, Patriarch Summit. Natasen clasped his hands together and bowed slightly to Ai Yu and the others, "Everyone, please come with me." With that, he walked to the inside of the castle first.

Ai Yan and the others didn't say any nonsense and left with the housekeeper.

Summit didn't stay long, but dismissed a few people who were like bodyguards, and followed Ai Yan and the others alone.

The group arrived at a study on the second floor, which appeared to be Summit's private study.

There are many books in the study, in addition to books in India's own Chinese language, there are also many different countries, and Ai Yan saw a shelf full of original Chinese books when he passed by a shelf.

This study is not large for someone of Summit's status, but it is also nearly 200 square meters. There is an ornamental landscape tree with a potted plant in the middle of the study. Ai Yan looked closely, and it was actually a Bodhi tree!

Ai Yan had learned before that this Bodhi tree was not simple. There is a "theory of five debts" in Indian ethics, that is, people are born to repay debts in five aspects: ancestral debts, divine debts, immortal debts, human debts and ghost debts. Ghost debt refers to the repayment of debts to animals and plants - humans live on animals and plants, and in order to thank them, they should be sympathetic and do not harm them, such as feeding animals and protecting plants. And this Bodhi tree, because of its slow growth and extraordinary meaning, is deeply loved by the aristocracy.

As for the moral of this, it is like the famous Ashoka tree, which is tall and straight, and because of its deep religious significance, it is revered throughout the Indian subcontinent.

The Buddha had an epiphany under the Bodhi tree and began to preach to save sentient beings, which itself has a strong religious color. Behind the Bodh Gaya Bodhi Temple, there is an old Bodhi tree, under the Bodhi tree, there are devout believers meditating and practicing from morning to night, and there are also many good men and women walking around the Bodhi tree in a circle, if you happen to pick up a falling Bodhi leaf, it is like a treasure, and it is also an auspicious picture.

Walking past the linden tree, the crowd did not stop, and stopped in front of the penultimate bookshelf. Summit pressed his left thumb on a copy of Buddhism on the third shelf, and after a few squeaks, the tall bookshelf turned in a 90° circle, revealing a downward staircase.

"Welcome to the secret repository of the Tamil family, please come in. Summit politely gestured "please come in" to Ai Yu and the others.

Ai Yan and a few people were not polite, and walked in directly.

The staircase is made of solid wood and looks like it has been specially treated without the slightest sign of rot and mold. After Summit closed the door of the dark room, he pressed it somewhere, and a string of LED lights on the stairway all lit up, scattering a white light that illuminated the entire staircase.

Under the leadership of Summit, Ai Yan and the others walked about two stories high, and Ai Yan estimated that it should be three or four meters underground, and Ai Yan saw a straight road.

Chen Yang looked curiously at the corridor in front of him that was surrounded by metal walls, but before he could take a few steps forward, he was stopped by Summit in front of him.

Summit turned his head to look back, "Ai Yan, can you see what's so special about this corridor?"

Ai Yan stepped forward, stood beside Summit, looked carefully at this corridor, which was a little strange but not special, for a long time, and gasped: "There is a laser equipment on this corridor?"

Summit's eyes lit up, "Your Excellency is worthy of being the captain, this vision is indeed vicious. Yes, this seemingly sparse and ordinary walkway, but not only did I build it out of special metal, but it was also a complete set of anti-theft equipment. If you don't have the right way to enter, let alone half of it, you won't even be able to walk a meter! I'm not blowing it, this is just installed in recent years, not only the laser equipment you can see, but also the warning infrared, the living sensor, and the fully automatic emergency machine gun...... These comprehensively cover this road. If someone just walks in like this, unless there is an immortal body that is indestructible in Vajra, don't think about it or leave!"

"So powerful? Then the other three families don't have such an anti-theft system?" Liu Xi couldn't help but be surprised.

"Alas. Summit's expression was a little gloomy, "They are all there, and they don't have to be worse than my family." But it was still stolen! I still don't understand how the thief did it. ”

"And, during the entire process of loss, none of the three families' high-definition cameras recorded the appearance of the thief! Not even a shadow to be exact! This has always been something we have not been able to understand. Natasen, the butler who had been silent before, added in due course.

"Well, what Natathan said is indeed true, this is even beyond the scope of human cognition! Of course, I also know that your team is an expert in dealing with this kind of thing, I don't think you are optimistic about the use of these anti-theft facilities, right?"

"Mr. Summit has won the award, this anti-theft system is already extremely powerful, even I may not be able to walk through it safely. "Of course, without my abilities.

"Oh, what do you think is the weaker and stronger of this thief compared to you?" Summitt felt that Ai Yan, as the captain, must be the person with the highest force value, so he directly compared it with Ai Yan. Coincidentally, he guessed correctly.

"I can't tell, because if you can steal property without leaving a trace, there is no way to compare, it depends on the comprehensiveness. Mr. Summit, rest assured, that we are here to ensure that there will be no mistakes in your family's share of property. "Ai Yan gave Samit a shot in the arm, for this kind of old fox-level existence, Ai Yan will not be sloppy.

"Your Excellency's words are enough!" Samit pressed his hand to a metal wall again, but this time with the entire hand.

A rectangular area of fluorescent green appeared where Summit was holding down, and after scanning a line up and down a few times, the wall on the other side flipped over and a numeric keypad appeared.

After Samit entered the code, the corridor that had no lights lit up in two, and the wall at the end moved to the side and slowly opened.

"Okay, the system has been lifted, it's safe, and you have walked through this corridor, which is our family's storehouse. ”

Ai Yan and the others walked up the road, they didn't know before they walked, but when they walked up, they found countless large and small cracks in the walls, almost covering the entire corridor, thinking that the other side of these walls would definitely not be as bare as they saw in front of them.

The unique sound of the soles of the shoes touching the ground made Ai Yan sound as if she was walking on a large block of ice, and the slightest coldness from the soles of her feet passed through the soles of her shoes and into her body. It's underground, but it's summer, and because of the climate, it's not much colder, so it's not a friendly place to visit.

Walking through the corridor, everyone walked into the explosion-proof metal door that had just been opened at the end. What catches your eye is a flickering golden light, and when you look inside, gemstones of various colors, shimmering with colorful light, shine in the light. The entire storage warehouse, the size of a small football field, was almost filled with these gold bars and gems! In the distance, there were many swords and armor similar to ancient weapons, and Ai Yan and the others could only see a rough idea, but they were definitely not ordinary things.

"I've never seen so much money. Hao Ren exclaimed. Fortunately, he spoke in Chinese, and neither Summit nor the old butler could understand it, or it would be too face-saving.

"Ahem. Ai Yan pretended to be calm and took her eyes off these glittering things as naturally as possible, and smiled at Summit: "Mr. Summit's family wealth is indeed abundant, extraordinary, extraordinary!"

Seeing that Ai Yan did not show a look of surprise, Summit couldn't help but glance at Ai Yan with appreciative eyes: "Your Excellency Ai Yan can see these possessions like dung, and he can be so calm, he is really a hero among people!"

Ai Yan continued to smile, but there was a wave of slander in her heart: dung your sister! calm your uncle! Haojie your whole family! Damn, so much money, I pretended to be poor to Lao Tzu before (in fact, although it is not), and the reward task value is given such a little, you are a cheat!

"Your Excellency Ai Yan, you might as well pick one of the things you are interested in at will, and it can be regarded as giving my patriarch a face. Summit bowed.

Ai Yan was about to refuse, but Chen Yang on the side almost cheered: "Mr. Summit is really a bold person, worthy of being the head of the family, but please rest assured, we will definitely protect your family's property!"

"Mr. Summit, we still have three teammates who haven't been here, I wonder if we can count them as a share?" Liu Xike blinked with a pair of big eyes and a look of anticipation.

"Oh, sweet girl, of course. Summit smiled at the beautiful girl in front of her, "It's like being in your own home, you're welcome." ”

It has to be said that beauties have a natural privilege wherever they go.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Ai Yan felt a burst of joy and helplessness in her heart. The thieves did not come, but they became "robbers" in the open.
