”Do you feel any discomfort?” I pretended to be very calm. I wanted Old Man Wang to feel that everything was under my control.

According to what A Ling said, I removed the broken jade from Old Man Wang's arm ten seconds later.

”Thank you, Dr. Chen!” The two old men politely bowed to me again, making me feel extremely dissatisfied, because this was all thanks to A Ling, I truly did not deserve this.

In any case, A Ling wanted me to do all these to repay the Old Man Wang's kindness, so the person who should be thanking them is A Ling, but all of this is because I have gained a good reputation, and received the respect of two people.

”Alright, I still have something important to attend to, so I won't delay any longer.” After being courteous for a while, I looked at the time. If I don't leave soon, I won't be able to make it in time for Fan Xinyu's departure time.

”Dr. Chen, please wait.” Just as I was anxious to leave, the Old Man Wang called out to me, signalling for me to wait a bit.

Even though I was very anxious, since someone else was so anxious to stop me, there must be something important going on.

Thus, I stopped in my tracks. Just as I wanted to ask Old Man Wang what matter he had, I saw him turn around and walk towards the bed that he was sleeping on. I didn't know what he wanted to do.

Old Man Wang recovered his energy now and as if he had an inexhaustible strength, he suddenly pulled out a big iron chest from under the bed. After rummaging for a long time at his waist, he finally found a key.

The key had an ancient quality to it, the kind I'd seen only in costumes and TV shows, and the same thing about the locks on the big iron crates.

I guessed that the items in this big metal box and the two old men had stolen from their graves all these years. At this time, they stopped me and then opened this big metal box, perhaps they wanted to give me an ancient item.

Thinking about this, he could not help but feel a burst of joy in his heart. If it's an old item, if I take it to the auction house that Zhang Xin gave to her family, they would sell it for a good price. This way, my father's medical expenses would no longer need to worry.

Old Man Wang only opened the lock and tinkered with it for a long time. He didn't know whether it was because the procedure for opening the lock was complex, or because the ancient lock had already rusted from not being properly kept.

I looked at Old Man Li beside me who was grabbing onto my arm and refusing to let me go, and couldn't help but to bitterly smile, thinking: ”I'm not running, I'll be waiting for you to send me some treasures, but can you help Old Man Wang out?”

Finally, as I waited anxiously and greedily, Old Man Wang finally opened the big metal box.

Due to the distance, the room was dark, and the inside of the box was pitch black. I couldn't see what was inside the big iron box. I wanted to go up and take a look, but I was caught by the Old Man Li.

From inside the big metal box, Old Man Wang could be heard to flop around for a long while before he took out a long black thing and walked towards me with a smile.
