Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1460: Chapter 1444: Doraemon’s Pocket

”Here are a few European shipwrecks I found online. The online information isn’t complete, so I just roughly sketched the positions of the shipwrecks. Their exact locations need professional investigation. Your task is to help me find out the exact coordinates of these shipwrecks. It’d be best to pinpoint them down to the minute and second.”

Huo Sining explained what was written on her paper. Gu Xu nodded in understanding and then suddenly pointed at a name, asking in confusion:

”These names with numbers refer to shipwrecks, but what does this Volcano Park mean? Are there shipwrecks in the park as well?”

Seeing this, Huo Sining couldn’t help but laugh: ”Ah, this is something I accidentally came across while researching online. This Volcano Park is located in the Auvergne Volcanic Natural Reserve in France. I read online that during volcanic eruptions, many diamonds were spewed up from underground, burying a large amount of raw diamonds beneath the park’s surface.”

”The interesting thing about this theme park is that they supposedly allow visitors to bring tools and search for and dig up diamonds inside. Any diamonds found belong to the visitor.”

Gu Xu raised an eyebrow: ”You mean you’re planning to go there and dig for diamonds?”

Huo Sining lifted her head with an expression that screamed ’of course’: ”Why not? If the Anglo-French Alliance could come to our land and pillage, why can’t I go dig up their diamonds? I’m doing it legally, too. I’m so kind; those Europeans must’ve burned a lot of incense for luck over several lifetimes!”

”I’ve even checked; there are similar theme parks in many European Union countries like England, Spain, and Italy. I don’t intend to be a villain; I’m just getting even. Whoever from the Eight-Nation Alliance stepped into Huaxia and stole treasures, I’ll go ’ruin’ their theme parks by digging up diamonds. It’s my specialty!”

Gu Xu felt a cold sweat beginning to form on his forehead. His wife was definitely no cute girl; when she got mad, she became a tigress. But this tigress was rather adorable; he loved it, hehe.

After carefully checking the names of a few shipwrecks on that paper, Gu Xu nodded and said, ”Leave this to me. I’ll help you find out soon. If there are other shipwrecks worth checking out, I’ll let you know then.”

Huo Sining nodded when suddenly something occurred to her: ”Wait a minute!”

”What’s up?” Gu Xu asked, puzzled.

Huo Sining rummaged in her storage ring for a while and finally pulled out a crumpled piece of paper about palm-sized, handing it to Gu Xu, saying, ”Write down the coordinates on this paper too, and while you’re at it, see if you can find out where this place is.”

Gu Xu glanced at the palm-sized paper, which had a string of strange numerical symbols: 20W45S.

He was immediately puzzled, ”What is this? Where did you get it?”

Huo Sining explained, ”Remember last time at Shi Ronghe’s house, you met Boss Wu Qingshan from Huimo Hall? I met him at the Imperial Capital Ghost Market last year. It was at that ghost market where I won an ivory carving at an underground auction. Inside the base of that ivory carving, I found a wax pill stuck to the inner wall. The wax pill contained nothing but this piece of paper.”

”I reckon this coordinate must have some significance. Otherwise, the owner of the ivory carving wouldn’t have hidden the wax pill so deeply. It’s highly possible that this coordinate is related to a specific island or shipwreck. So find a way to investigate if you can.”

Looking at the wax pill paper in his hand, Gu Xu couldn’t help but smile wryly: ”Is this your Doraemon pocket? You’ve got everything in there! You wouldn’t happen to have a treasure map hidden as well, would you?”

At this, Huo Sining raised her eyebrows slightly, a mysterious look flashing in her eyes, as she smiled playfully, ”Who knows, maybe there is.”

After assigning tasks to Gu Xu, Huo Sining returned to the Magic Capital. Even though she was anxious, she knew that such things couldn’t be rushed and could only wait for Gu Xu’s news.

Two days later, Huo Sining received an invitation in her mailbox at the entrance to her community, coming from Las Vegas, with the competition date set for a week later.

This invitation was undoubtedly from the Song Family, but Huo Sining tossed the invitation into her storage ring and forgot about it, not thinking any further about it.

However, unexpectedly, a few days later, she bumped into members of the Song Group at the Los Angeles airport.

After returning to the Magic Capital, the next day, Huo Sining received a call from Li Jun, who had just returned to New York. He invited her to go gamble on stones in Los Angeles.

”The batch of goods from last time was meant for the opening of a store in Los Angeles, and they’ve successfully entered the market. Thanks for your help; otherwise, this batch would’ve ended up in the hands of those Country F patrol officers. But Miss Huo, could you do me another favor? For the new store’s opening, we need the first piece of raw material to increase in value during the gamble. Because I know your stone-gambling skills, with you there, the first piece will surely appreciate!”

Huo Sining wanted to refuse Li Jun’s request, but he shamelessly offered a piece of information: a few American friends of his possessed heavy-duty European antiques, and if she helped, he could try to convince those friends to transfer the treasures to her.

Huo Sining was fretting about where to get European antiques; Li Jun’s offer was precisely the weak spot, coaxing her into consenting.

Without much further thought, Huo Sining agreed to go to Los Angeles as Li Jun invited. Coincidentally, Qibao and Su Qingqing wanted to go too, and since it was winter vacation, she didn’t mind more people coming along. She even brought Bai Yishan and Wu Ya with her.

The plane landed in Los Angeles at around 8 PM. As soon as she got off the plane, Huo Sining led the group of people toward the exit while dialing Li Jun’s phone. But as soon as they exited, they encountered a familiar group of figures, and at the forefront was the long-unseen Fourth Concubine and Song Xiaochen, alongside Song Chaojing and Song Chaoying, whom Huo Sining had previously met in the Magic Capital.

”Miss Huo...”

They hadn’t expected to encounter Huo Sining here, and the Song Family members were all very surprised, especially Song Chaojing and Song Xiaochen. They mistakenly thought Huo Sining was heading to Las Vegas, and both of their eyes lit up, with Song Xiaochen eagerly stepping forward.

Huo Sining also hadn’t expected to meet the Song Family here. Slightly embarrassed, she raised her ticket and explained, ”I’m here to meet a friend in Los Angeles.”
