Reborn As Super Heiress

The task given to him by his wife was completed satisfactorily, and Gu Xu returned home triumphantly, eager to share his accomplishment. Just then, Huo Sining also woke up, and the two naturally indulged in some intimate moments.

Amidst their affection, an untimely phone call interrupted them. Gu Xu picked up his phone and his brows immediately furrowed.

”What’s wrong?”

Huo Sining noticed and asked quickly.

Gu Xu handed the phone to Huo Sining. It was a message from Yu Fei, which read:

”Boss, the search results are out. I’ve sent them to your email, but I couldn’t pinpoint the exact location. The drafter of this hand-drawn map was quite lacking in skill. After overlaying it with satellite images, I found seven areas that resemble the map, but none of them match completely.”

Upon seeing the message, Huo Sining was momentarily stunned, lifted her head, and looked at Gu Xu, ”Is it that nautical chart?”

Gu Xu nodded, retrieved a laptop from the bedside table, and quickly opened the email from Yu Fei.

As he scrolled down, the email indeed contained seven search results, all of which had similarities to the map they had taken from the safe.

Yu Fei also provided an analysis in the email, detailing his findings.

Based on the scanned copy Gu Xu had sent him, Yu Fei analyzed the nautical chart and eliminated three that were similar but located near the mainland, leaving four that closely matched but didn’t completely align with Huo Sining’s map.

Gu Xu scrolled through the four search results, while Huo Sining’s gaze swept over the email content. Suddenly, a piece of data caught Huo Sining’s eye, and her body stiffened. She sat up abruptly, an idea flashing through her mind, prompting her to grab Gu Xu’s hand and exclaim:

”Go back, scroll through the email again!”

Gu Xu was puzzled but followed Huo Sining’s instructions to scroll back a page in the email.

”Babe, is there something wrong?”

Huo Sining’s eyes were fixated on the computer screen, silent, but her eyes gleamed with a strange light. Gradually, a peculiar smile tugged at her lips.

Gu Xu looked at Huo Sining’s expression, then at the email, unable to comprehend what was wrong with the email and why his wife was smiling so strangely.

Huo Sining stared at the email, contemplating before she finally spoke, ”Yu Fei really did me a great favor this time! I didn’t expect it, I’ve been troubled by this issue, and unexpectedly, I solved it here without even trying.”

Gu Xu was even more confused, ”Babe, I can’t understand what you’re saying, solved what? He searched all this time and gave us four vague locations, is that really a big help? It seems like he’s just being cursory.”

Huo Sining shook her head, her gaze fixed on a particular piece of data on the screen, her smile growing brighter:

”Yu Fei is always meticulous, did you notice this? Here are the coordinates of these four sea areas, accurate to two decimal places, which means they narrow down to less than a kilometer!”

Gu Xu looked puzzled, ”Military satellite positioning is like this, isn’t it? If you have a specific location instead of a nautical chart, GPS can pinpoint it to a specific point with an error margin of less than a meter, what’s so exciting about this?”

Huo Sining smiled, ”Of course, if you just look at his email, there’s nothing special. But I’ve discovered data here.”

With that, Huo Sining pointed to the coordinates in the email and circled one of them with her finger.

Gu Xu was puzzled, ”Is there something peculiar about this data?”

Huo Sining nodded:

”Let me tell you about something that happened when I first entered the antique world.”

”That year, I had just arrived in the Imperial Capital, acknowledged the Huang Family ancestors, and took Mr. Zhou as my mentor. He valued me highly, probably because my slip-up with the Baiyang Box made my skills apparent. My mentor wanted to verify my abilities, so not long after, when a black market event occurred in the Imperial Capital, he took me along.”

”I was fearless back then, and I managed to find several good pieces on the black market. At the final auction, I encountered an ivory-carved dressing table. As soon as I saw its design, I liked it. Since the price wasn’t high and the quality of the ivory carving wasn’t great, no one else contested for it, so I won it.”

”Because it was cheap, I didn’t inspect it closely. Once I had it in hand, I realized there was a problem. There was a two to three-centimeter crack on the base of the carving, filled with silicone afterward.”

”Back then, thanks to the Heavenly Eye, I had never hesitated when pinpointing flaws, so I felt defeated when I spotted this. I immediately disliked the item and considered throwing it away.”

”But when I grasped it, I found an unexpected surprise.”

”Inside the silicone-filled base, there was something sealed. Someone had dug a hole less than two centimeters wide and stuffed a full wax pill inside, perfectly filling the cavity.”

”If I hadn’t bought that dressing table, if I didn’t have the Heavenly Eye, and if I hadn’t been curious enough to look again, that wax pill might have stayed sealed with the dressing table, not knowing who would eventually find it, or how long it would take.”

Gu Xu nodded, fully believing his wife’s story. With the help of the Heavenly Eye, discovering that the base of an ivory carving was flawed was not a difficult feat for Huo Sining.

Nevertheless, while listening to his wife’s story, Gu Xu still couldn’t understand how the ivory-carved dressing table was related to the nautical chart they mentioned.

After pondering for a moment, an idea suddenly struck Gu Xu. He looked up sharply, his eyes bright as he stared at Huo Sining:

”You said that the dressing table had a wax pill hidden inside, could it be that the wax pill contains a map of the sea?”

Huo Sining shook her head, amused, ”A hole less than two centimeters wide, with a wax pill inside, could hardly contain a sea map.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Xu felt a bit foolish. Yes, such a small hole couldn’t possibly hold so much information.

Yet, Huo Sining continued, ”Although it’s not a sea map, it is somewhat related to this thing.”
