Chapter 1416: Anna Asks Yiling for Help

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“It’s regarding the Goodman family compass. We recently found some new clues,” Anna said.

“Congratulations. But why do you need to tell me about it?”

“Don’t reject me just yet. Hear me out,” Anna continued.

“Okay.”

“The Goodman family compass is not only related to the Goodman family but it’s also related to the Xie family. As you’re a descendant of the Xie family, I decided to come to you on this matter.”

!!

“How is it related?” Jian Yiling asked. In the past, Jian Yiling had heard a few things about this. However, there was no exact information available.

“The hidden treasures recorded by the compass not only belong to the Goodman family, but some also belong to the Xie family,” Anna responded. She surprisingly told Jian Yiling the truth.

The huge amount of wealth left behind by the Xie family did not suddenly disappear into thin air. Instead, it was also hidden in the same location as the Goodman family’s hidden treasures.

Anna continued to explain the situation to Jian Yiling: “According to the information I know so far, back then, the Xie family discovered where the Goodman family hid their treasures. However, for some reason, your family did not take those treasures. I don’t know the specific reason for this. Regardless, I just hope we can cooperate to find the treasures which belong to our respective families together.”

Before Jian Yiling got a chance to reply, Zhai Yunsheg appeared at the entrance of the ward and coldly rejected Anna: “That’s your business. It has nothing to do with Yiling.”

“But only your wife has the ability to locate the hidden treasures.”

“She’s a doctor. She shouldn’t get involved in your nonsense,” Zhai Yunsheng replied resolutely.

“She’s more than a doctor,” Anna calmly answered. She knew about Jian Yiling’s abilities. “Furthermore, we need her expertise as a doctor. Some of the traps set in the treasure location were tailor-made for her. I can guarantee to you that she’s the only suitable candidate.”

Anna knew for certain that Jian Yiling was the only person who could help her.

Then, Anna confessed: “If not for that reason, I wouldn’t have been so kind and generous to come and tell you that the Xie family’s wealth was also hidden in the same place. I would have just silently taken everything. However, as Jian Yiling is the only person who can help me, I sincerely hope to cooperate with her.”

Anna never hid the fact that she was a greedy businessman.

“I refuse,” Jian Yiling replied resolutely. She was not interested in what Anna was saying.

“Okay,” Anna replied. Then she said: “I’m sorry for disturbing you. However, if you change your mind at any time in the future, feel free to contact me. The door of the Goodman family is always open for you.”

Anna did not want to force Jian Yiling to do something she didn’t want.

After the Nine Dragons Post was sent out, the remaining seven reclusive families gathered together in Beijing.

This result surpassed Zhang Xin’s own expectations.

Originally, he only expected two or three reclusive families to turn up.

However, to his surprise, everyone came.

The representatives of each family were in their fifties or sixties.

They were all dressed plainly and at first glance, they would look no different from any other old man.

However, when they sat together at the conference table, they gave off a feeling of leadership.

After all, most of them had a lot of influence in their respective countries. In fact, they held more power than the Zhai family and the Qin family.

For the first time in decades, the eight remaining reclusive families gathered together.
