1501 Looks Like It Was Not Easy to Get I
Black Eagle looked at Lin Che."Don't misunderstand. I'm only here to see if the old man is dead."
Lin Che said, "Enough, you're already here, and you say such mean things."
"I really..."
"I know." Lin Che stopped him from speaking."I understand how you feel. It must feel weird having hated someone for so long, and suddenly it stops. But he's really in a serious condition."
Black Eagle's eyes gave off a solemn gaze.
Lin Che continued, "If he doesn't get that item... he might die."
That extremely cold ginseng.
Lin Che told Black Eagle about the matter.
When she reached home, Gu Jingze was also at home.
Lin Che mentioned the matter to Gu Jingze in the study room.
Gu Jingze frowned."Are you sure it must be the extremely cold ginseng?"
Lin Che asked in amazement, "You know?"
Gu Jingze nodded his head."Yeah, I just got the news. It's said that this extremely cold ginseng recently appeared and is up for exhibition."
"So there is such a formidable thing?"
"That's for sure, " Gu Jingze said."Hearsay, it's a century-old collection. For something like ginseng, the older it is, the more precious it will be. Moreover, it is an extremely cold, century-old ginseng. You can say that this is the only one in the world. It's very valuable. I'm only afraid there would be countless people who want to see it."
He looked at Lin Che, paused for a moment before speaking again."The person who kept this ginseng is a Swedish Marquis, the William family. They rarely come out to meet people. They are the most affluent family of Marquises in Sweden and have properties all over Northern Europe. Their custom there favors being gentry and living a low profile life. So, it took fifty-odd years to discover this family item."
"That... It should be quite impossible to get. Having kept it for so long, why would they give it to someone else so easily?" Lin Che started to get very worried in an instant.
Gu Jingze said, "That's for sure. This has sort of becoming the representation of their family. Of course, they wouldn't give it away as easily as that."
"Then what should we do?" Lin Che pondered."Given Lu Beichen's character, if he can't get it, he won't return. I'm worried he'll cause some trouble."
Gu Jingze said, "If that's the case, why not we go over as well?"
Lin Che looked at him in confusion.
Gu Jingze said, "I do want to take a look at this century-old ginseng. I want to see how it looks."
The next day.
Lin Che and Gu Jingze headed for Sweden.
On the way, Gu Jingze sat beside Lin Che, and they read a book together.
Lin Che said, "Tell me, do you think Uncle Lu would be able to get through this time? I feel pessimistic somehow."
Gu Jingze smiled."This means you've grown up."
"What?"
"When a person is young, they tend to be very optimistic and think they will overcome all problems, that doctors will be able to cure and save others, and that people will never die. But as one gets older and met new people, they will slowly become pessimistic. It has nothing to do with Uncle Lu's condition. This is you overthinking."
Fine...
Lin Che rubbed her head.
They flew to Sweden.
Lu Beichen came to receive them when they got off the plane.
Seeing Lu Beichen's car, Lin Che wondered, "How did you know that we were coming?"
Lu Beichen smiled and looked at Lin Che."I got the information long ago. I'm pleased that you could come. Thank you for your effort."
Lin Che said, "I don't know if I'll be of help. I'm just here to see how things go."
"I'm happy enough that you came. So, I'll definitely host you guys well now that you're here."
Lu Beichen had prepared a villa in Northern Europe. It looked clean and neat.
Stockholm in Sweden is lovely. It was Lin Che's first visit. She stood at the window and looked at the clear, blue sky.
"I hope this won't be a wasted trip. Wow, such a beautiful place. It would also give us some luck."
"Let's go get something to eat first, " Gu Jingze said.
Lu Beichen brought the two of them to a restaurant.
Lin Che found the decorations here great, and one could tell that it was specially prepared. She told Lu Beichen, "You're here on a serious business after all. You don't have to bother about us or make special arrangements."
Lu Beichen said, "I didn't. I just told the staff to make the arrangements. You don't have to feel so burdened. Anyway, I want to have some food too. So, I got them to prepare for us to have a meal together."
Gu Jingze said, "Have you contacted the William family?"
Lu Beichen shook his head."There's a lot of people gearing towards their family recently. They're in hiding. How could they come out so easily?"
Noticing Gu Jingze curl his lips, Lu Beichen immediately said, "Ha, you already contacted them, am I right?"
Gu Jingze took out a card from his pocket and placed it on the table."Can't say I contacted them, but I know that they'll be here to do fishing today."
"Fishing... I know how to do that. My dad always brought me to fish in his free time."
"They're fishing for sharks."
"..."
Lu Beichen did not say anything more but only coughed.
Lin Che was also quite alarmed."Are you kidding? That's so cruel."
Gu Jingze said, "They breed their own for fun. They won't kill them. They put them back after fishing them each time."
Fine, the city people knew how to have fun.
These rich people.
Saying they want a low profile.
If outsiders knew how these wealthy people had fun, they would be shocked.
The fishing club was at the bottom of a hill.
The helicopter arrived at the location where seawater was abundant.
From afar, they could see an incredibly remote area. But there were still some planes and cars parked around, which showed that the people around the premises were not ordinary people.
Lu Beichen arrived with Lin Che and Gu Jingze. Before they got off the plane, Lu Beichen said, "Ha, quite a lot of people here. It looks like we're not the only ones who know the Williams are here today."
Gu Jingze said, "The one who's here is the Williams' little master, Bruce. He just turned 18. You can do the rest of the investigating."
Lu Beichen nodded his head. He knew that getting this piece of information was already not an easy task. He was only afraid that because Bruce was only 18, he might not be easy to deal with.
They got off the plane and entered.
Lin Che stayed beside Gu Jingyan and saw that people were already whispering.
"Gu Jingze is here as well."
"Don't tell me he's interested in the ginseng."
"Looks like the competition just got bigger."
"This is too dangerous."
It was apparent that everyone was fearful of Gu Jingze.
Lin Che followed in and marveled at everything inside.
How much money was needed to build a club on the cliff's shoulder?
It was, after all, a place that only the rich could come to. The charges must be high.
Gu Jingze said, "Stay behind me later."
"What's wrong?"
Just as soon as Lin Che spoke, a bunch of people appeared. They were holding onto guns and weapons, walking in like royalty. It looked like they were Arabic men.
"No way..."
"This is their favorite pastime, " Gu Jingze said.
"Isn't there anyone supervising..."
"This is the high seas that belong to no country or region, so nobody cares."
Lin Che felt the danger instantly. She then kept closer to Gu Jingze.
