Chapter 1682: Eye-Opening Experience

Glancing at the door in the middle, Xu Ke suddenly felt that there must be something he needed inside.

The answer was right in front of him, so without saying a word, Xu Ke walked straight in.

However, prior to this, he had Murong Hai and his subordinates stay behind.

Although he trusted Murong Hai very much, this was ultimately a family matter, so it was better not to let outsiders know.

Murong Hai was very understanding, so he sent his subordinates away to the other side and stayed here.

Upon entering through the door, Xu Ke felt as if he had stepped into an ancient room.

If he hadn’t known in advance that this was an office, Xu Ke would never have imagined it.

Everything inside was full of ancient charm, even the table had old-fashioned decorations.

The furnishings in the room were very simple, yet there were some things Xu Ke had never seen before in his life.

What surprised Xu Ke even more was the gentle flow of water right in the middle of the office.

Xu Ke examined it closely and was amazed to find that the water was fresh.

This indicated that although the office had not been inhabited for a long time, these things continued to replenish themselves.

Xu Ke increasingly admired the master who created this office, and he suddenly had the urge to learn some skills from this master.

The things before him were things Xu Ke had never seen before. Now he felt like a child who had never seen the world.

Everything in this office seemed incredibly novel to Xu Ke.

Xu Ke now also understood why his grandfather regarded this office as a treasure, and why his grandfather still kept the old building here after all these years.

No matter where this office is placed, it is invaluable; Xu Ke even felt that it might be worth more than the entire Xu Group’s assets.

These things could not be measured by money, and certainly could not be replicated today.

Xu Ke’s main purpose for coming this time was to find those documents. Though attracted by the surroundings, he did not forget his primary goal.

He looked around the office and quickly focused his attention on the table in the center.

This table was of the old-fashioned kind, but what puzzled him was the not-too-big, not-too-small indentation in its center.

The indentation seemed very unusual, as if it was intentionally placed there.

Curious, Xu Ke pressed it with his hand. As he did, the table unexpectedly split in the middle.

Inside the split table lay many folders. Xu Ke opened one document and saw it marked with a date from 15 years ago.

Moreover, the signature on it belonged to his grandfather. Xu Ke could now confirm that this office was indeed his grandfather’s.

He suddenly felt as if his grandfather was hiding many things from him. Just within this office, there seemed to be no shortage of secrets. But Xu Ke understood that since his grandfather chose to do so, there must be a reason.

Given that he chose to let Xu Ke discover them, he would surely uncover these secrets bit by bit in the days to come.

After all, everything here now belonged to him, and he could come whenever he wanted.

After going through all the documents, Xu Ke unexpectedly discovered many important details about the companies.

These details he had never noticed before; now, thanks to his grandfather’s documents, he remembered them.

Xu Ke began to admire his grandfather more, feeling his grandfather was omnipotent, calculating every matter beforehand as if by design.

Xu Ke finally found the items he needed at the bottom of the document. Based on the markings, he quickly determined these companies.

What he didn’t expect was that when his grandfather had initially signed this agreement, he had specifically noted that these shares did not belong to Xu Group but only to Grandpa Xu and his direct relatives.

This meant that even if Wang Lishan discovered these materials, they would be useless to them, as the company would recognize the contract, not the people.

Xu Ke now understood why Wang Lishan had not found anything amiss all these years.

Looking back, it’s unlikely Wang Lishan’s little tricks over the years were unknown to his grandfather.

Probably, the reason his grandfather didn’t act all these years was to leave this old fox for him to deal with.

After all, Xu Ke needed an appropriate reason to step up, and also a very suitable timing.

Wang Lishan, this old fox, was exactly the right opportunity, and he is the most suitable candidate.

Wang Lishan might not be able to enjoy his later years peacefully in prison once he learns this news.

He thought he could scheme against Grandpa Xu, but in the end, he was the one who got outsmarted.

His effort over the years was merely someone else’s experience baby in the end.

In another document, Xu Ke found more about the company’s other properties.

Rather than calling these company assets, it was more accurate to say they were Grandpa Xu’s personal belongings.

Because most of these things were not listed under the company’s name, but instead, he had personally transferred them under his name.

Xu Ke roughly calculated that if these properties were still valid, they could at least raise his net worth several times over.

Xu Ke even had a feeling that his net worth now had become comparable to that of a nation.

He knew that if this news spread, it would surely cause a huge stir online.

The shock today has been overwhelming; Xu Ke felt that his brain was almost overloaded.

After tidying up the documents, the table returned quickly to its original state.

Xu Ke carefully looked and found that these things surprisingly were not plugged into any power source.

Without electricity, these things could still operate for such a long time; Xu Ke was even more impressed by the mechanism master.

He then circled the office again and quickly discovered another suspicious spot.

A seemingly ordinary chair, which should have been where Grandpa Xu rested before.

However, the chair was quite strange, as it could rock continuously once seated.

Xu Ke sat down and tried it; aside from rocking, it had no other function.

Thinking he must have seen wrong, he was about to check elsewhere.

Suddenly, he noticed a very tiny red button under the chair. Since the overall color was red, the button was cleverly hidden.
