Cao Sui nodded and followed Zhou Yong as the two headed off in the distance, one after the other, with their close guards.
After walking for a few miles, the group had reached a very isolated area, after which they took a road that was not a road, and came to a hidden corner inside.
It was so old that not only was its exterior covered with green grass and vegetation, but it was even covered with some mud from years of wind and rain, as well as from the sliding of the mountain.
Luckily, both of them had their guards with them, and with the vigorous tossing and turning of these guards, a stone door was soon revealed in front of them, after loosening about a few dozen centimetres of mud.
The door had a hole in it, which must have been used to insert a key.
It was this hole that would have dissuaded almost anyone from trying to force it open.
The hole
The stone material that is exposed inside almost makes it clear that it is very hard in texture. What makes it even more unbearable is that the hole also basically reveals that the thickness of the stone door could be very frightening.
Yes, it doesn’t directly indicate that it can make such a huge impact on you just by a kind of visualization with the naked eye.
“The stone doors are made of a special stone, and back in the day, my father spent almost two hundred million amethysts just for these two doors.”
Zhou Yong couldn’t help but flaunt it slightly.
One had to know that a cost of two hundred million just to make the doors was indeed considered to be luxurious to the extreme. I was afraid that even the palace doors of any emperor would definitely not have such a cost.
There was such grandeur, such dominance.
Moreover, this was the price decades ago.
“Uncle is really bold, two hundred million too
Even so, the key is to use it to throw it in the middle of nowhere.”
Yes, it’s okay to build a door for 200 million, but it’s not even for your own home, it’s just to place it next to the road to make a secret way for yourself.
Two hundred million is enough to feed many people for several lifetimes, and enough for many people to do many businesses and take away many opportunities to make a fortune.
Zhou Yong smiled gently: “Sometimes I admire my father, I have often been saying, the Zhou family can have today’s pivotal position, actually has not much to do with me Zhou Yong, relying on my old dad ah.”
Although Zhou Yong has received quite a lot of consistent praise from the outside world in recent years, after all, it was really in his hands that the Zhou family really reached its peak.
But Zhou Yong knew very well that, as he had just said, his father was the one who had really laid the foundation for the Zhou family. Without what his father had done
If there hadn’t been those things done by his father, then naturally, there would have been no chance at all for the Zhou family to reach the top.
“Indeed, uncle’s drive is hard for ordinary people to reach, let alone in the past, even if my Cao family took the existing foundation and tossed it like that, I’m afraid I wouldn’t dare.”
The billions of dollars at the beginning were really not that big of a figure for Cao Sui.
If the Cao family were to take it now, it would only break their bones, but I’m afraid that if Cao Sui were to build a secret passage like this now, he wouldn’t be willing to do so.
For no one knows how useful this secret path would be and how much it would bring in return.
There are not many businessmen who dare to do so, except when there is nothing.
“Go in.” Zhou Yong smiled gently.
“Did you bring the key? No way, you still carry this key close to you?” Cao Sui wondered.
He did find it a little hard to imagine, after all, who would carry a broken key that had been deserted for an unknown period of time all day long with nothing to do?
Zhou Yong did not say anything more, instead, he directly took out the jade pendant on his chest. Subsequently, he gently knocked the jade pendant to the ground in front of Cao Sui.
The jade pendant instantly fell apart into two pieces, but it did not break completely, it was more like a small folded box.
In the centre of the box lay a relatively small but very fine key.
“These things, my father had thought of long ago, and was afraid that I would not value this at all, so he wrapped it in a jade pendant. In this way, I do not worry about forgetting the key, but at the same time its presence does not stick in my mind, and only when it is most useful do I remember it and what it is worth.”
“Go on, get in.”
