Yang Cheng pondered for a moment and realized that it must have something to do with the moon and stars. The Crescent Moon that he was asked to bring had never appeared before. Perhaps it was meant to be used in private within the Park family.
After a while, Zhenxiu, who was still pouting and sulking, came downstairs accompanied by Eunjing. She was dressed in a brown coat and it was obvious that she was going out.
Park Cheon did not hold a grudge against his granddaughter. He smiled and said, "Eunjung, you don't have to follow. Zhenxiu, come with Grandfather."
Zhenxiu snorted softly and walked straight out of the house.
Park Cheon shook his head helplessly and said to Yang Cheng and Eunjung, "Mr. Yang, Miss Lim, rest early."
After that, Park Cheon and Kim Jip exchanged glances and left together.
Outside the Park family's mansion, a black Mercedes-Benz G550 and two Mercedes-Benz GL-series SUVs were already waiting quietly.
In addition to Kim Jip, Park Cheon also brought along a dozen tall and muscular bodyguards.
Once Park Cheon and the other two had entered the G550, the three cars slowly headed north, gradually disappearing into the night.
Yang Cheng was curious about the hidden secrets of the Park family's handover. However, Park Cheon had deliberately chosen to leave at midnight with so many bodyguards. He must not want to attract too much attention, so Yang Cheng did not probe further lest he invited a snub.
Then, the couple went upstairs to wash up and went to bed. Eunjung, on the other hand, waited patiently for Park Cheon and Zhenxiu's return.
More than an hour later.
Located in the northern part of Seoul, near the Bukhansan National Park was a relatively sparsely built area.
Three Mercedes-Benz cars slowly stopped in front of a gray skyscraper.
This tall building looked a little old, and it was surrounded by some old buildings. The lights in the whole area were especially dim.
Zhenxiu was no longer in the mood to throw a tantrum with Park Cheon. She asked timidly, "Grandfather, where are we?"
Park Cheon led Zhenxiu out of the car and held her hand as they walked toward the skyscraper. "This is the Korea branch of the UBS Bank."
"Branch of a branch?"
"That's right. The UBS branch is near the financial center, and this is the original office of the UBS. Although it no longer has the function of handling business, it is still preserved as a storage location for the UBS customers."
As they listened to Park Cheon's explanation, they arrived at the bottom of the building.
After the security guards checked their IDs, they proceeded to conduct a body search on Park Cheon and Zhenxiu.
After that, a security guard said, "President Park, Miss Zhenxiu, thank you for your cooperation. You're welcome to come, but I'm sorry, we can't let others pass. "
Park Cheon turned around. "Kim Jip, bring some men and stand guard outside. Only customers with reservations can enter. You don't have to go in."
Kim Jip naturally had no objections. He faintly gave his bodyguards a few glances, and everyone dispersed to guard outside.
Park Cheon dragged Zhenxiu into the building and was greeted by a blond, white, middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes. The name tag on his chest read 'Donald, Vice President of UBS Korea Branch'.
"President Park, it's a pleasure to meet you. Miss Zhenxiu, good evening." Donald bowed humbly.
Park Cheon smiled. "Mr. Donald, please lead the way. We're here to see item number one."
"Alright, this way please …"
Donald did not waste any more time and led the two into the long corridor inside.
As the most mysterious place for UBS to store all kinds of precious items, cash, jewelry, and other valuables, the interior of this seemingly old building was, in fact, exquisitely built.
Almost every angle was covered with tight surveillance cameras, and there were even many powerful weapons hidden inside the building to guard against sudden attacks.
As for the sturdiness of the interior of the building, a variety of alloy steel plates were, of course, hidden within.
After passing through a few twists and turns, Zhenxiu and Park Cheon followed Donald to an elevator entrance. At the entrance, there was already a Caucasian staff member waiting for them with a smile.
Donald invited the two into the elevator and closed the door.
Zhenxiu realized that there was not a single button on the elevator!
Donald took out a magnetic card from his pocket and gently swiped it on a display in the elevator. Immediately, the display displayed an English message that required fingerprint and iris scan to unlock.
Donald aimed his fingerprint and iris at the display. After a scan, the display finally showed a floor that could be selected.
Donald skipped everything and directly chose the last number: G20. After selecting it, the elevator finally moved. To Zhenxiu's surprise, the elevator was heading downwards!
What about the G20? Could it be the 20th floor underground?
Zhenxiu was startled. This building looked simple, but there were actually twenty floors hidden beneath it!?
For Zhenxiu, who had never seen much since she was a child, this was too shocking. The girl even forgot why she was there.
Park Cheon, on the other hand, was calm and collected. It was obvious that he had been here before.
When they reached the 20th floor underground, the elevator finally opened.
In front of them was a vast expanse of white, with white tiles and a white ceiling. Surrounding them were white walls and white metal doors. Without exception, these metal doors were all equipped with display screens.
Here, even the drop of a needle on the ground would be captured clearly.
"President, the item you wish to see is already in Room Seven. All you need to do is unlock it with your fingerprint and retina, and you'll be able to enter the room. I'll be waiting for both of you in the elevator. Please take your time. "Donald nodded.
Park Cheon thanked him and led Zhenxiu to Room Seven.
At the door of the room, Park Cheon faced the display screen on the door and performed a iris scan to unlock the door. This was also the final check before entering the room.
After he succeeded, Park Cheon opened the door and smiled at the curious Zhenxiu. "Tonight, after we're done looking at our ancestral treasure, Grandpa will have them input your information into this system. In the future, you'll also be able to open the door here."
Zhenxiu nodded nervously. Previously, Park Cheon did not mention what he wanted to see. Now, she could finally solve the mystery in her heart.
After entering the room, Park Cheon locked the door from the inside.
In the room, there were two chairs and a rectangular table. On the table, there was a lone safe.
Park Cheon stepped forward and entered the password on the safe. "This password is Grandpa's birthday. Tonight, we'll change it to your birthday, Zhenxiu."
As he spoke, the safe was opened.
Zhenxiu held her breath and widened her watery eyes. She stared straight at the object in front of her with a hint of doubt.
It was a gray stone box, about the size of two hands. It was cubic in shape and seemed to be made of stone or some kind of metal.
Park Cheon saw Zhenxiu tilting her head in puzzlement. It reminded him of the first time he saw it and how confused he was.
"Silly child, don't just look at it. This is the treasure that our family has protected us for generations. From now on, you'll be its owner. Go and touch it."
Zhenxiu nodded and cautiously stepped forward to pick up the gray box.
"Ah …" Zhenxiu was startled and let go of her hand. "It's so cold. Why does it feel colder than ice?! Why does it feel like stone but it doesn't … "
Park Cheon smiled. "It's okay. It has something to do with what's inside. Come, let Grandpa open it."
As he spoke, Park Cheon took out a jewelry box from the inside pocket of his suit. When he opened it, it was the crescent pendant that Zhenxiu had previously owned. There was also a small pendant that looked like a star made of the same material!
The star was also lustrous and looked like a five-pointed star with light flowing around it.
At this time, Zhenxiu also noticed that there were two shallow grooves on the top of the gray box. It was the perfect place to place the crescent and star!
Could it be that the crescent and star were the keys to open the box?!
Park Cheon slowly inserted the crescent moon and the star into the box. It was a perfect fit.
When they were successfully embedded, a blue gap appeared in the center of the originally impenetrable gray box!
"Zhenxiu, look carefully. This is the sacred treasure that the heavens have bestowed upon the Park family!"
Park Cheon took the box and spoke with a solemn expression. Then, with trembling hands, he lifted the lid of the box …
