Chapter 167 (1/2)

Speaking of the sandalwood box, Si Yi was then reminded of his purpose of this trip.

Halfway along their journey, he drove them into a forest.

“What are you doing?” Yun Jian was surprised.

Si Yi had already stopped the car then. Nudging his handsome face close, his warm puffs of breath were nearly blown on Yun Jian’s face.

They were very close together, a distance that allowed them to kiss had they leaned a little forward.

Silence loomed. Just as Yun Jian caved in and wanted to retaliate, Si Yi spoke. He took out the sandalwood box and pushed it to Yun Jian again, saying, “You know about this box.”

Earlier, he had tested Yun Jian with the sandalwood box. Yun Jian had said that she did not know about it but Si Yi was already doubtful.

Now that he took out the box again, he was not asking Yun Jian anymore. His tone was certain, confident that Yun Jian knew about the sandalwood box.

Staring straight at Si Yi, Yun Jian could see her own reflection in his sharp eyes.

She nodded ultimately. Closing her eyes and reopening them a while later, her gaze bright and clear.

“Yes, I know about this box.” What she did not say was, ‘It was the indirect cause of my baby brother’s death’.

“Do you want to know the secret about this box then?” Si Yi asked, not minding that Yun Jian had previously lied to him.

There was a beat of delay. His good looking brows arched and he spoke in a clear voice once more. “Particularly, why do people in the business and even retired old folks of international prestige care to step out and fight for it?”

Of course Yun Jian wanted to know.

She gave up playing tricks with Si Yi. It was plain that the latter was more canny and mysterious.

She nodded and asked, “Why?”

Si Yi squinted, arching a brow. His lips parted to speak directly without creating any suspense, “Because it could bring the dead back to life!”

The power of resurrection!

Yun Jian’s eyelids throbbed when she heard it.
