Chapter 254 The secret of the jade ring

James looked at it for a long time and said, "Xiao Xi, this room looks like a laboratory!"

"Yes, grandpa often studied medicinal materials here in the past."

Ning Xi watched intently, her eyes gradually becoming moist, as if her grandfather's busy figure appeared in front of her across time and space.

And the image of my young self standing in front of my grandfather with two braids in two braids seems to be vivid in my mind.

"Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi! Look, there seems to be a door here!"

James' voice interrupted her memories, and Ning Xi hurriedly followed the voice.

It turned out that there was a gap behind the tall cabinet. James pushed the cabinet open, and a dusty gray secret door appeared in front of the two of them.

"This is..." Ning Xi was also stunned. In her memory, except for the upper and lower floors, there were no hidden rooms in this house.

Upstairs was her and her grandfather's bedroom, and nothing unusual had ever been noticed.

James was bold and impatient, so he pushed it. The door was closed tightly but not locked, but he pushed it open after a lot of effort.

There was a dark musty smell inside, and a few steps could be vaguely seen extending down.

James supported Ning Xi, and the two of them walked down the steps in a few steps.

Turning on the phone light, Ning Xi held her breath and saw rows of filing cabinets and test benches in the darkness, which also looked abandoned for a long time.

There were many books and materials piled scatteredly on the desk. Ning Xi's sharp eyes suddenly saw her grandfather's reading glasses and thermos cup, and she hurriedly took two steps over.

She and James looked through the information hastily and couldn't help but be disappointed.

"They are all experimental materials, and many places have been painted..."

James' eyebrows were furrowed and his eyes were full of regret. Ning Xi was not surprised by this.

"If there were anything valuable left, I'm afraid this place would have been destroyed long ago."

James still refused to give up and continued to look for clues everywhere, even the paper balls on the ground.

Ning Xi picked up the purple clay thermos cup that her grandfather used to use. The cup was large and heavy, as if it still retained the heat from her grandfather's hand, and a sour but warm feeling surged in her heart.

Suddenly, her eyes were attracted to the pattern of the thermos cup——

It was a landscape painting with simple and sharp lines. Although the painting had faded, you could still tell at a glance that it was exactly the same pattern as the one on the combination lock box!

With her heart beating wildly, Ning Xi quickly calmed down and looked at the landscape painting pattern carefully. After several careful inspections, she finally saw a series of sixteen numbers and letters in the lower left corner of the pattern.

Is this the password to open the box?

Ning Xi hurriedly called James and handed the cup to him for safekeeping. She hurried back to the car and took out the box from the suitcase.

I accidentally looked up and saw a figure flashing through the trees not far away.

But she had no time to pay attention to this and ran back to the darkroom in three steps.

James saw her coming in with a box and couldn't help but be curious: "Xiao Xi, what is this? Is it worth keeping with a combination lock?"

Ning Xi didn't say anything and carefully entered the numbers one by one. With a crisp click, the lid of the box slowly popped open.

"What's in here?" James opened his mouth in surprise.

From the inside, you can see the deep cracks in the lid of the box. It was obviously an attempt to pry it open with brute force, and Ning Xi couldn't help but feel a little scared.

There were only two items in the box, a jade ring and a thick envelope.

The old-fashioned envelope was yellowed, with clear and straight calligraphy written on it. Ning Xi was very familiar with it. It was her grandfather's handwriting.

Ning Xi almost cried when she saw the words of her granddaughter Ning Xi's signature. She opened the envelope with a slight trembling.

The content of the letter was not long, and Ning Xi read it quickly.

"Xiao Xi, what does it say?"

Seeing the change in Ning Xi's expression, James asked hurriedly, with a concerned expression.

"It's about the lifeblood of our Wen family." Ning Xi sighed and gave a brief summary of the matter.

At that time, my grandfather and Ning Zhiyuan were full of ambitions, and together with Mr. He and others, they invested in medical experiments. Their original intention was to benefit the public, but some of them were too eager for quick success.

Even after many years, guilt and heartache can still be seen in my grandfather's writing. At that time, he was obsessed with the longing for career success, not only ignoring his family, but also ignoring the movements of his partners.

Until the collaborator made a major mistake in the experiment, causing an explosion and causing heavy casualties and irreversible accidents... Grandpa got the news, and when he rushed to the scene, he only saw the cold body of his friend.

The experimental report that grandpa received afterwards was inextricably related to the ongoing project.

If this continued, the consequences would make Grandpa shudder.

For this reason, my grandfather hurriedly ended all the work at hand, destroyed most of the useful experimental data, and left the sad place completely.

At the end of the letter, grandpa warned Ning Xi in a sad tone.

Because he was busy with his career, he could no longer make up for the debt he owed to his family. He hoped that Ning Xi would return to the Wen family in his lifetime and forgive Ning Zhiyuan for what he had done in the past. However, he was destined to be unable to make up for his regrets to someone in his life.

Ning Xi savored the flowery language at the end over and over again. Although the name of a certain person was not mentioned, judging from the content of the entire letter, this person should be an important person who collaborated with her grandfather in the experiment.

As for the identity of this person, it is still a mystery.

"Xiao Xi, this jade ring looks like you have the same one!"

"Yeah, but these two look a little different." Ning Xi carefully picked up the jade ring and looked at it carefully under the light of her mobile phone.

The jade is warm in texture and clear in color. It looks little different from the one in my hand. Some of it looks like a pair.

She reached out and touched the inner ring of the wrench, and vaguely felt that there were concave notches inside. She hurriedly looked at it with a light, and sure enough, she found three clear English letters inside, GHM.

A voice suddenly flashed through Ning Xi's mind: "Isn't this my brother's jade ring? When did you steal it?"

Bai Yaoyao! The person who originally slandered himself as a thief.

At that time, she had just divorced Gu Huaijing and was so upset that she didn't pay much attention to it. It's strange to think about it now.

Could it be that Gu Huaijing really had the same thumb?

Before Ning Xi had time to think about it, she heard a sudden noise outside, followed by the sound of glass being smashed!
