Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space-Chapter 717 - 592: Is the Danger Over?

In the dead of night, the family gathered in the study, Lin Lishan sat on a chair and recounted to her daughter the series of events that had recently transpired both inside and outside the home.

Zhou Jiao noticed her good mood, mentioning those things without much emotional fluctuation, and did not bring up her suicidal incident, pretending to be unaware.

——Life must go on, it’s good that she can let go of many things.

Zhou Xiaozheng glanced at Ping’an, yawning, then looked at his tiny hand tightly gripping his mother’s clothes, smiled and shook his head, "Rest first, talk about it tomorrow."

Zhang Guoqing looked at his wife, clapped his hands at Ping’an, "Let your mom chat with your grandpa and others, I’ll take you to wash up and wait for mommy, alright?"

Ping’an tilted his head, "Sleep together?"

"Yes."

"Alright then. I still have a lot to talk to my mom about."

Zhang Guoqing picked up the child, laughing, "Then I’ll accompany the child first, Dad, don’t stay up late, rest early."

Lin Lishan stood up too, "You two keep chatting, I’ll go see if Aunt Chen has prepared the night snack? Let the child eat before sleeping."

Zhou Xiaozheng nodded while listening. Watching them leave, he asked, "Is there good news to tell Dad?"

Zhou Jiao happily hooked his arm, said softly, "Dad, look at the ground..."

As her words fell, in front of them appeared a large wooden box about one meter long.

Zhou Jiao lifted the lid, "I took advantage of the opportunity to trade with people at the bank to withdraw all the foreign savings books in four or five big cities. Inside this are also documents and jewelry from grandma’s safe, with people around outside, I haven’t had the chance to look carefully yet."

Zhou Xiaozheng glanced at the US dollars, British Pounds, and Franc coins inside, not surprised at his daughter’s initiative, "Didn’t encounter any accidents?"

"No, I was very cautious every time, most of the money was withdrawn in the Peace Capital. Fortunately, grandma was very wise to open a safe in that country, otherwise, it wouldn’t have gone so smoothly.

The financial system over there is very developed, plenty of tycoons. After I finished the trade, when I went to withdraw, the bank manager looked at the credentials, didn’t ask a single redundant word, the efficiency was very high.

I went straight inside, and when I came out, he had already settled all the money for me, very quickly, colleagues I went with at the coffee shop outside didn’t notice anything unusual."

Zhou Xiaozheng didn’t care about the box full of cash, retrieved a black travel backpack from inside, motioned her to put the box away first.

Zhou Jiao stored it in space, sticking closely to her dad, watching as he took out several small wooden boxes, large wooden boxes, opened each with effort, truly embarrassed.

——In haste to withdraw, she hadn’t organized it, fortunately, there’s space, otherwise, it would take up too much room.

After the father and daughter checked, they exchanged wry smiles. Inside the envelope besides two property certificates, not even a letter was left. Thinking about it, it’s understandable, her dad wasn’t even born back then.

Zhou Jiao said guiltily, "Dad, I met four of my grandparents’ old acquaintances, those people are either rich or noble. They left addresses for me, I didn’t dare contact them. I immediately handed all the notes to my colleague to be submitted to the team leader, but I remember the addresses."

Zhou Xiaozheng put down the document in his hand, softly asked, "Worried about the backgrounds of those people?"

Zhou Jiao seriously nodded.

Zhou Xiaozheng patted her head, "Thinking like this is correct. Those people could know your grandparents, their current status shouldn’t be low either. It’s impossible they haven’t received domestic news."

"That’s what I thought too. What if they are enemy forces, or if they’re eyeing the Gu Family assets? The current domestic situation is unclear, it’s better to observe for now."

Zhou Xiaozheng nodded in agreement. This is absolutely possible! A few years ago, his parents’ old acquaintances, who hadn’t contacted old friends abroad? If they had the intention, those overseas elders would have reached out long ago. This time, even if they met his daughter by chance, intentional or not, it’s better not to get close.

"Look at these two properties, one farm, one residence, both bearing your grandfather’s name. Back then, our Zhou family couldn’t possibly be as destitute as outsiders claimed. Next, find an opportunity to visit the other two secret chambers to see what’s going on."

Zhou Jiao’s eyes lit up, "The danger is lifted?"

"Over the years, our family has established an image externally, and the rats in the dark are also eradicated. Nowadays, places are constantly cultivating the wasteland, after a long time the secret chambers may be exposed. It’s indeed time to open them, but still be cautious."

Zhou Jiao nodded knowingly, pointing at the two documents, "Not sure who is residing in these properties now. But I’ve looked into the laws of the two countries, as long as our father-daughter duo exists as legal persons, no one can take them away."

"Back when your grandparents returned, they probably made arrangements beforehand. This matter is left to Dad, I’ll have a lawyer friend from Hong Kong handle it."

Can’t let foreigners benefit even if we have money! Zhou Jiao finally felt relieved. But thinking of one thing, she beamed a goofy smile at her dad.

Zhou Xiaozheng saw it and immediately asked, "Did something bad?"

"Dad, why are you so smart?"

Zhou Xiaozheng gave her a sidelong look, "Have you forgotten what you promised me? Too gutsy. Come on, what do you ’grab by the opportunist’?"

Zhou Jiao regretfully looked around the study, "It’s too small in here, I can’t fit it."

Zhou Xiaozheng looked at her with a headache.

No need for her to say, seeing the joy in her eyes, he already knew how much. This child is too daring, did she think of what would happen if exposed? In future, she can’t be allowed to travel alone, at least Xiao Wu must accompany. As her dad, his worries never end.

"Sweetie, listen to Dad. Safety first, nothing is more valuable than your little life."

As soon as Zhou Jiao heard this, she knew her dad was really anxious, she hurriedly pulled his arm and shook him, "Dad, I was very careful. Really, don’t you think how timid your daughter is. Actually, I didn’t intend to, but those items were constantly circling under my nose with carts one after another at night. Speaking of that night with heavy rain, oh my, shouldn’t I let them reduce losses? Think of how wasteful it would be."

Zhou Xiaozheng chuckled speechlessly, scolded with a laugh, "You little rascal. Didn’t it cause a sensation with the loss of things?"

Zhou Jiao proudly shook her head, "In Su Country, they were about to start driving at night. After everything was done, I even opened the warehouse door, I guess they still think things fell along the way."

Well, Zhou Xiaozheng didn’t even need to ask. Those people either kept it quiet among themselves or collectively concealed it from the higher-ups. Thinking of this, he blurted out, "Flour and coal?"

"You’re amazing! No wonder you’re my dad. There’re also a lot of canned meats, but they’re hard to eat. Also, the white wine is almost like alcohol. Dad, find me a place to deal with them, the storehouse inside is about to explode."

At these words, Zhou Xiaozheng laughed heartily, after stopping he said, "Well done! Our family’s tens of pounds of gold are recovered. Discuss with Xiao Wu for these things. Keep it low-key, there’s no fool out there."

Zhou Jiao happily nodded repeatedly. She and her dad are truly alike, even their thoughts align. With such a dad, she must give herself a thumbs-up!
