"There should be the key to the box outside. I don't know if the box contains something more private to my parents, so I won't share it with you."
Sheng Yan said this in a joking tone, and Su Li and Qiao Xin also expressed their understanding.
She put away the keys and told Qiao Xin about the decoration of the house. Except for the study and this secret room, the work on other rooms was determined to start tomorrow.
Before parting, Sheng Yan reminded Qiao Xin about keeping secret the secret room, and she felt relieved after Qiao Xin's repeated assurances.
After all, when Qiao Xin entered, Su Li opened the secret room door directly from inside. Even if she knew that there was a secret room in this room, she didn't know where to open it.
As for Su Li, Sheng Yan believed that she would not tell anyone these things, including Ling Boxuan.
After returning home and washing up in the evening, Sheng Yan took the box to her studio. Before opening it, she opened the letter.
There is only one page and a few short sentences in it.
‘Yanyan, if you see this letter, it means that you need to help me and your father complete something.
Your father was abroad before he founded Shengshi Group. If anything happens to your father and I, you must send this token to the other party.
Don't worry, what we asked you to do is not a bad thing...'
The content of the next few sentences has been crossed out, so it is not very clear. It seems that this is an unfinished letter.
Mom and dad may not know that they will die unexpectedly, so these things are not ready yet.
Sheng Yan took the letter and read it again and again. Her mother's handwriting and tone made her feel as if her mother was by her side.
After a while, Sheng Yan recovered from her emotions, and then took the key and opened the box.
There was also an identical token in the box. Sheng Yan took out the one she had put away and compared it. Except that this one was a little newer and not as worn, everything else was exactly the same.
If the two pieces are put together, it is obvious that they are different, but if they are separated, it is impossible to determine which piece is real and which is fake.
After having this idea, Sheng Yan was stunned. Why did she immediately think of one piece that was real and one piece that was fake? After reading the contents of the letter again, and then comparing the two tokens, Sheng Yan was even more sure that there must be one genuine and one fake.
He's still abroad, he's not doing bad things, and he's keeping it secret.
Sheng Yan thought of something from foreign movies.
That fire between father and mother... Sheng Yan shook her head, getting rid of all the movie plots in her mind.
The fire was obviously caused by my second uncle’s family. Sheng Yan couldn't figure it out and simply gave it up. After putting everything close to the safe, she fell asleep.

Jing family, when Jing Yuheng went out in the morning, he suddenly remembered that he had not seen his father for a long time, and then asked Butler Lin.
"Uncle Lin, what did grandpa send my dad to do? It feels like he has been there for a long time."
Butler Lin calculated the time, "Mr. Jing has been here for almost a month. If you don't count, I don't know he has been here for so long." "But I really don't know what Mr. Jing asked Mr. Jing to do." , Young Master, you should know that Mr. Jing will not let me know about these work matters, besides, they are things you don’t even know about."
Jing Yuheng frowned and didn't ask any more questions.
It seems like it’s time to ask Grandpa. If he encounters any trouble, he should also find a way to help the family deal with it.
When he arrived at the company, Jing Yuheng always felt flustered. Ever since he thought about his father in the morning, he still had a strange feeling in his heart.
When it was time for lunch break, Jing Yuheng drove home alone and found the old man's tea room. Not long after the old man finished eating, a pot of tea had just been brewed.
Seeing Jing Yuheng at the door, he raised his eyelids, took out another cup, and poured two cups of tea.
"Aren't you very busy recently because of that project? I haven't been back for several noon days. Why are you back at this time today?"
Jing Yuheng sat opposite the old man, picked up the cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.
"Grandpa, did something happen to my dad abroad? If you have any unresolved problems, you can tell me. I'm not a child anymore."
In the eyes of Mr. Jing and Jing Guoren, Jing Yuheng has always been just a child.
Except for the company's affairs, the old man would not tell him any other relatively confidential matters.
Even some of the company's more confidential matters are still in the hands of Mr. Jing and Jing Guoren. Jing Yuheng is just running the company now.
"If you don't come to me, I plan to tell you about this matter. It's not that it's an unsolvable problem, I just think it's time to tell you about it."
The old man took a sip of tea, then put the cup down, looking at Jing Yuheng with a more serious look in his eyes.
"Come to the study with me and I'll show you something."
When he arrived at the study, Mr. Jing locked the study door directly, and then touched it somewhere. A bookcase in the study suddenly moved away, and a secret door appeared behind it.
After Mr. Jing stepped forward and opened the lock with his fingerprint, he took Jing Yuheng into the secret room with him.
The secret room is very small, and can only accommodate a bookcase and a set of tables and chairs. Fortunately, the lighting inside is relatively sufficient, and it looks similar to the lighting in the study outside.
"Grandpa, did this room have this secret room from the beginning? I have lived in this villa for so many years, and I didn't even know there was a cave inside."
Jing Yuheng looked around curiously. Mr. Jing had a secret. He had always known it. Now the secret was about to be revealed. He was so excited that he didn't know where he should stand.
The old man opened the stool and sat down, took out a key from his pocket, opened the drawer on the desk, and took out a wooden box from inside.
In the wooden box is a reddish-brown wooden token, which looks very exquisite. Compared with Shengyan's token, except for the different material, everything else is exactly the same.
Jing Yuheng couldn't help but took it directly. "Grandpa, what is this?"
The old man seemed to have thought of something far-reaching, and his thoughts drifted away.
