Eighties Sweetheart Wife-Chapter 632: Bright and Empty

As for whether Chen Youcai knew about the secret room, he was uncertain now as he still didn’t know how to communicate with Chen Youcai after the incident.

Fortunately, Chen Youcai was in Country X, and he had no plans to return to the country nor had he called him.

This gave him some time to breathe.

However, Zhong Daqiao wasn’t contemplating the electronics technology company in Country X at this moment.

In Zhong Daqiao’s eyes, this company had truly become Chen Youcai’s.

The thought made his heart bleed, and he wished he could tear Chen Youcai to pieces and mince the deceitful couple into pulp.

But even that wouldn’t soothe the hatred in his heart.

He had trusted Xue Meirou too much, not guarding against them at all, which led to his current plight.

He had carefully calculated his entire life, step by step to get to where he was today, yet in the end, he was left with nothing.

It was deep into the night, and Zhong Daqiao was in his own bedroom.

At this time, he obviously couldn’t be staying with Xue Meirou.

He couldn’t sleep, and suddenly, he began to remember all the past bits and pieces.

He regretted it, truly regretted it.

Currently, Hai Shaoqing was his only son and his own flesh and blood.

Hai Mingzhu was also genuinely kind to him.

The Eldest Miss Hai whose smile was filled with brightness.

The Eldest Miss Hai who used to discuss the future with him.

And the Eldest Miss Hai who knew the risks of pregnancy yet still wanted to have children with him.

After so many years, he had deliberately tried to forget Hai Mingzhu and everything about the Hai family, and he had dealt harshly and ruthlessly with some of the Hai family relatives, who had nearly all disappeared.

The direct relatives of the Hai family were almost exterminated.

Their lineage had always been meager.

Otherwise, acquiring the Hai family wouldn’t have been so smooth for him.

Zhong Daqiao didn’t realize when he had started weeping profusely.

He hastily wiped his face.

He knew Hai Shaoqing had no attachment to him; otherwise, he wouldn’t have staged such a spectacle that embarrassed him in front of the whole world.

He was his only biological son.

They had become strangers due to enmity, with no possibility of reconciliation.

Yet, Tianci did have a biological father, that despicable bastard was still alive.

If he showed the slightest displeasure towards Tianci, that bastard would definitely side completely with Chen Youcai.

Zhong Daqiao clenched his fists tightly, filled with deep regret.

If life could be redone, he would never have treated Hai Mingzhu that way.

He had also just realized that he loved Hai Mingzhu.

He had never forgotten her.

The reason he treated Xue Meirou so well was simply to ensure that the Eldest Miss Hai could never be at ease.

Back then, the dignity of a poor boy meant nothing in front of the Hai family.

He just wanted the Hai family to see that there was nothing great about them, that he, Zhong Daqiao, was still Zhong Daqiao, and he would never abandon his humble origins despite entering a wealthy family.

That’s why he treated Xue Meirou so well.

Looking back now, it all seemed like a joke.

Zhong Daqiao tried hard not to harbor thoughts of revenge.

He paced back and forth in his bedroom, unable to sleep, unsure of Hai Shaoqing’s next move.

But the immediate priority was the jewelry and cash hidden in that secret place.

Luckily, he had not deposited it into Tianci’s account; otherwise, it would have been beyond retrieval.

Even if he sued, he would not win.

In the past few days, too many reporters surrounded the entrance to the villa.

Tianci and Xue Meirou never left his sight.

That place used to be another secret laboratory.

After it was abandoned, he had purchased it.

Fortunately, it required his fingerprint and password to unlock and open the door to the secret room.

But human hearts are unpredictable.

The duo that he had cherished had slapped him hard.

All his dignity was stripped clean in that moment in front of the whole world.

Now, he dared not answer anyone’s calls, nor did he dare meet anyone.

He knew everyone was laughing at him.

So until now, he had not stepped out of the villa.

But it couldn’t continue any longer.

Fortunately, the bodyguard captain was a loyal subordinate of his own.

At dinner, he had already instructed him to tamper with something.

By now, the mother and son should be in a deep sleep.

He opened Dongfang Hong, called the bodyguard captain, and the bodyguard captain quietly told Zhong Daqiao that everything was ready and they could set out now.

At this moment, Xue Meirou and Zhong Tianci indeed hadn’t outplayed Zhong Daqiao, having drunk the spiked beverage. They were sound asleep as Zhong Daqiao left the house, completely unaware.

He traveled unimpeded to the abandoned secret laboratory.

Only then did Zhong Daqiao breathe a sigh of relief.

He instructed the bodyguard captain to keep watch outside with the bodyguards.

But the moment he opened the final door, Zhong Daqiao could hardly believe everything he saw before him.

He blinked hard.

Because when the door of the secret room was opened, the lights inside also turned on at the same time.

It was brightly lit.

About three hundred square meters in size.

But now it was completely empty.

It was truly empty, there was nothing at all.

You should know that before, this place had been filled with jewelry, gemstones, and many valuable antiques he had exchanged.

It was to guard against Hai Shaoqing.

Actually, Hai Shaoqing was not to be feared, he was guarding against Song Yunuan backing him.

Song Yunuan was too cunning.

If she didn’t act, when she did, the opponent would surely fall.

That’s why he had moved these items here.

He just didn’t believe Song Yunuan could know about this secret room.

Even if she knew, even if her power was great, she wouldn’t be able to destroy it.

Unless she blew up the place.

But if it truly exploded, the items here would also be destroyed.

At that moment, Zhong Daqiao felt his heart stop beating.

His limbs stiffened as he walked forward, struggling to make a full circle around the empty secret room, slapping his face hard, blinking fiercely, and then even shouting and jumping around, pinching himself.

So this was not a dream.

He wasn’t hallucinating, this was real.

All the items were gone, not even leaving behind a piece of wrapping paper for him.

Where had the items gone?

How could they just vanish into thin air?

Heart pounding with fear and filled with rage, Zhong Daqiao had the bodyguard captain bring the bodyguards inside.

The bodyguard captain also widened his eyes in shock.

He knew about those boxes when they were initially transported.

The jewelry was not large items.

Even so, there were more than fifty boxes.

Then there were other antiques, totaling eighty-nine boxes here.

Now there wasn’t a single one left.

Zhong Daqiao looked at the shocked bodyguard captain, temporarily dispelling his suspicion of him.

Only two people were guarding here. After all, more people meant more potential for trouble. These two were absolutely reliable.

They lived in a small house not far away.

The two of them swore and assured Zhong Daqiao that no one had come during these days.

They would never steal from their own post.

But Zhong Tianci could have come here.

He knew the code, but his fingerprint alone seemed insufficient.

Zhong Daqiao, with a trembling voice, asked the bodyguard captain, "These past few days... have you noticed anything unusual?"

The bodyguard captain reported truthfully, "The madam made a few calls, but like the eldest young master and the old master, after the incident, they just turned off Dongfang Hong."

Zhong Daqiao, with trembling hands, pointed at the door of the secret room.

There were seven in total.

Even if Song Yunuan was strong as an ox, how could she open the tightly sealed door of the secret room unless it was a physical explosion?

One of the guards suddenly said to Zhong Daqiao, "Sir, I remember something. Two evenings before you held the press conference, the eldest young master came here alone and stayed for half an hour, but then he left..."

Zhong Daqiao’s piercing gaze turned to the guard, word by word, "After he left, what did you do?"
