The Typhoon's Dangerous Wife

Chapter 242 - The WOODEN BOX

Zhenyi locked the almirah again and in the same way, she got the key, she placed it there again. The key had served its purpose and so it would be a waste to take it with her. With the exception of the box, the Almirah was empty. So, it was not a problem to leave it there. 

Her gaze fell on the box which she had placed on the dirty bed and realized the box again needed a numerical combination to unlock it. Wasn't searching for keys a headache already that now she had to look for the code too? 

Sigh. 

Perhaps, Ming Jia knew about it. 

"Godma, it needs a numerical combination to unlock. Do you have any idea what it is?" Zhenyi questioned, rubbing her aching temples. 

Remembering the way the three of them used to open the box back in those days, a smile bloomed on Ming Jia's face. Of course, she knew the code for the box. After all, the box was meant for her and Reine. If Long Ah-Shaan wanted to tell them something before his death, he would have definitely placed something inside the box. It had been many years since she last talked to him and what was more unfortunate was that he had left and a few years after him, Tang Reine left the world too, following her best friend to the other side of the world. 

  "Try 0911," Ming Jia softly said to Zhenyi. 

Zhenyi frowned. However, she entered the code. But the box didn't unlock. 

"It's not working.." 

"Try 1008." 

"It could be wrong, Godmaa which will result in permanently locking the box. I'm afraid if we try to break it, we won't be able to get the content resting inside it." 

"Don't break the box. It's the last thing Ah-Shaan 

had left for us. The code had to be someone's birth date. Ah-Shaan was a genius but he was worse when it came to remembering passwords. Most of the time, his password would be a simple number which makes it difficult for a normal person to assume. So, try 1008." 

"Really?" Zhenyi was intrigued by the fact. That's why people called genius weird. "Do you think it will work then?"

"Of course, it will. Trust me." 

Zhenyi was surprised to hear her confident tone, "Let me try it first."

She still couldn't believe she agreed to Ming Jia's bizarre plan. If she got caught, her husband wouldn't forgive her for prying into the personal lives of his family members. 

God forbid if someone were to pry about Ryuu's life, she would chop the head off of that person. 

Zhenyi took a deep breath and inserted the code once again and once again, it was incorrect, "It's incorrect again, Godma. Do you think it's the correct box?" 

"Try another--" 

"Godma, we can't take the risk of inserting another wrong number combination. You don't want this box to permanently get locked, do you?" Zhenyi asked her calmly. 

"One more try, Zhenyi. Remember even in movies the protagonist gets three tries for defusing the bomb. It's just a simple box. So, I think we have one try left with us." 

Zhenyi had an urge to bang her head against the box. Could her day get any more ridiculous? 

"A simple box which may consist of secrets belonging to three powerful clans," Zhenyi said. She recalled that Long Ah-Shaan was an unparalleled genius. " So, there was no way he would leave this box without any security measures. It can also blast like a bomb if try to insert too many incorrect codes." 

Ming Jia remembered that once Ah-Shaan told her something like this but she couldn't recall what exactly he said at that time. 

However, she still said," Let's try this one. If it didn't unlock, you come out with the box. I will keep it with me no matter if it unlocks or not. It's not safe for it to stay there." 

Zhenyi paused when she heard her words. Just what does this box consist of? She wanted to know about it too. Curiosity was getting the worst of her right now. 

"2409. Just try it once." 

"Isn't it my husband's birth date? I remember his birthday is on September 24." Zhenyi frowned. 

"Who knows! I'm just firing the arrows in the dark." 

"Godma," Zhenyi groaned. 

"Did you manage to unlock it?" questioned Ming Jia as she anticipated to hear the words that the box had been finally unlocked. 

Outside, the rain was pouring heavily. Many trees had broken and fallen on the ground. The storm had destroyed almost everything. However, the great Long mansion still stood against the natural calamity proudly. 

  Inside Long Ah-Shaan's villa, Zhenyi finally inserted the last code, pressing the doubts that had taken birth in her heart. 

*Click!*

"The box is unlocked, Godma." Zhenyi couldn't believe her eyes. 

Her heart was beating loudly inside her heart. She didn't know what to think about it. Her heart was heavy and her brain was running at a fast speed. 

The Bluetooth positioned in her ear was notifying her that it would be out of battery in a few seconds. Well, that was not what she needed right now. 

"Disconnect the call , Godma. I will call you when I come back to my room." 

"Are you sure you will be alright?" Ming Jia couldn't help but worry. 

"Don't worry, I have memorized the way back to my room. Stop worrying it's not the first time I have raided a place all alone." 

Ming Jia pressed her lips. Of course, it was not the first time. She still remembered the great theft of 2011 which happened in country B. Her previous Zhenyi was the one behind it. She had single-handedly looted a museum worth billions of dollars.
