Chapter 159 Unearthing the Treasure Map of the Gu Family's Old Master to Find the Truth About t

The cause of death of Master Gu and his wife has roughly come to light. The reason for their deaths is that Master Gu possessed a treasure map before his death, which attracted unwanted attention. Unable to obtain it, someone ultimately harmed Master Gu and his wife.

Yang Yuhan began to reinvestigate based on Master Gu's treasure map!

Yang Yuhan carefully searched the study that Master Gu used to frequent. In a hidden compartment behind the bookshelf, he discovered some strange symbols that seemed to have some connection to the treasure map he had previously deduced.

He followed the clues and found an antique shop owner in the city. When the shop owner saw the mark Yang Yuhan took out, his eyes darted around. Yang Yuhan was certain that he knew something, so he pressed him for details.

It turns out that the antique shop owner had been instructed by someone to secretly look at the treasure map and even made a copy of part of it.

But the person who instructed him was very mysterious, always appearing masked. Based on the boss's vague description, Yang Yuhan drew several sketches of suspects.

Just as he was preparing to investigate further, he received news that his residence had been ransacked. Clearly, the mastermind behind it all knew he was investigating too closely and was issuing a warning.

However, Yang Yuhan did not back down. Instead, he became even more determined to find the real culprit and uncover the truth hidden behind the treasure map. He decided to start with the people in the portraits to conduct a more in-depth investigation.

At the same time, Yu Wei launched an even stronger pursuit of her love!

At this moment, Yang Yuhan began to have doubts about Yu Wei, the great-grandfather of the future Marshal Yu. Why was he so insistent on expressing his affection whenever Yuhan got involved in Master Gu's case?

Could it be that Yu Wei has some kind of connection with the Gu family?

Then she secretly investigated the whereabouts of Yu's rice shop. She also disguised herself as a man and sneaked into Yu's house to investigate Yu Wei. She used "brainwave scanning" to "scan" the Yu family's staff and rice shop.

Then, she found nothing unusual about the Yu family or the rice shop!

Although Yang Yuhan didn't find anything unusual at the Yu family's home, she didn't dismiss her suspicions. She decided to confront Yu Wei directly. One day, she found a flaw in Yu Wei's words and expressions.

That day, Yu Wei came to see Yang Yuhan with gifts as usual. Yang Yuhan casually brought up Master Gu's case while observing Yu Wei's expression.

A hint of surprise flashed across Yu Wei's face, but he quickly recovered and simply expressed his concern about the progress of the case, saying that he could contact him if needed.

Yang Yuhan's heart skipped a beat; she sensed something subtle about Yu Wei's reaction. Just then, Yang Yuhan's informant brought news that someone resembling the person who had instructed the antique shop owner was spotted in an abandoned house outside the city. Yang Yuhan immediately bid farewell to Yu Wei and headed to the house.

When she sneaked into the house, she discovered a huge map inside, covered with markings, which looked like the complete treasure map.

Just then, footsteps sounded behind them. Turning around, they saw Yu Wei. Yu Wei explained helplessly that he had been secretly investigating the case and had just arrived after receiving the news. He leaned closer to Yang Yuhan and whispered, "Let's uncover the truth together."

Yang Yuhan pouted at her.

"How dare you underestimate me?"

"No, that's not it. I've always thought you were timid, so why are you so bold now? Has your childhood sweetheart quieted down these days?"

"She got married. Her father married her off to an old man who runs a rice trading business. They got married yesterday. Before she married him, she came to my house and threatened me, saying that she would haunt me even as a ghost. The next day, she hanged herself."

"Ah! Such a fragile fiancée."

"She was pampered since childhood and had never suffered any grievances. Of course, she kept the unhappiness that others brought her to her heart, and then she couldn't accept it anymore, and finally she was defeated!"

Yang Yuhan snorted and turned to look at the map. Yu Wei also stepped forward, and the two began to carefully study the markings on the map.

Yu Wei pointed to a mark and said, "I found out before that this place seems to be related to an ancient family." Yang Yuhan's eyes lit up, "Perhaps this is the key."

As they were talking, suddenly the sound of mechanisms being activated came from all around. "Oh no, a trap!" Yu Wei shouted. Arrows shot out from the surrounding walls. Yu Wei quickly pulled Yang Yuhan to safety.

After the mechanism finally stopped, Yang Yuhan discovered that the map was missing. "It must have been taken away in the chaos when the mechanism was activated," Yu Wei said, frowning.

After calming down and thinking for a while, Yang Yuhan said, "I guess the person who took the map hasn't gone far. Let's chase after them." So the two of them followed the path behind the house and soon saw a dark figure.

Yu Wei leaped forward and began fighting with the shadowy figure. After a few moves, the shadowy figure revealed its true identity—it was none other than Wang Guangyao, the former head butler of Master Gu.

Butler Wang sneered, "You think you can get the treasure so easily? This is all part of my plan."

"Steward Wang, Master Gu and his wife have treated you well, sending you to a private school and then finding you a wife. Have you forgotten all of this?"

“Miss, it would be better if you didn’t mention that Mr. Gu arranged a wife for me. But as soon as you talk about it, I get so angry. He arranged a wife for me who is ten years older than me. And she manages me like a maid after she came into the family, making it difficult for me to pursue my career and ambitions.”

"Master did it all for your own good, but you've been associating with all sorts of people."

"Alright, if you're doing this for my own good, why don't you let me manage the Gu Family Rice Shop? Fine, I'm not going to waste any more words with you. In short, I'm not giving you this treasure map." With that, he threw out a smoke bomb and disappeared.

Yang Yuhan clenched her fists: "Butler Wang, you just wait. We will definitely uncover the whole truth."

Wang Guangyao vanished without a trace! Her only reply was a cloud of black mist not far away!

The two looked at each other and then headed home.

Then, as they walked, dusk fell, and the two passed by an ancient cemetery near a grove of trees!

By the dim moonlight, each tomb was clearly visible. The moment they stepped into the ancient tomb site, a sinister atmosphere enveloped them. Suddenly, the ground beneath Yang Yuhan's feet shifted, and before she could react, she fell into an underground cave. Yu Wei hurriedly reached out to grab her, but only managed to tear off a piece of her clothing.

Yu Wei anxiously called out at the cave entrance, "Yu Han, how are you?" Yang Yu Han replied from inside the cave, "I'm fine. There seems to be a passage down there." Without hesitation, Yu Wei jumped down.

As they followed the passage, they discovered that the walls were covered with more secrets about the treasure. It turned out the treasure wasn't gold or silver, but a miraculous book that could change the family's destiny. Butler Wang, unaware of this, believed it was just ordinary wealth.

At this moment, they heard a noise ahead and quietly approached, only to see Steward Wang angrily pounding on a wall because he couldn't find a way to open the real entrance to the treasure.

Yang Yuhan stepped forward: "Butler Wang, stop now. This treasure is not what you imagine."

Butler Wang was taken aback, and was greatly alarmed to see that Yu Wei and Yang Yuhan were unharmed. Yang Yuhan explained the secret on the wall to Butler Wang, who was filled with remorse.

In the end, the three reached an agreement to protect the extraordinary book together and prevent it from falling into the hands of villains, and then left the ancient tomb site together.
