Chapter 2145
Soon, Uncle Quentin and a middle-aged man with gray hair hurried over. It could be seen that the two of them came in a hurry. Uncle Quentin came over after putting on a suit jacket over his home clothes. Mr. Clark was still tidying up when he entered the door with his briefcase. He must have been in a hurry along the way.
"Elijah, what's going on in the middle of the night?"
After a few big steps, Uncle Quentin was obviously shocked by the strange scene
in front of him. His voice was obviously broken for a few seconds. His eyes wandered around for a while before falling on Mrs. Luther.
"Barbara, you're here? What, what's going on?"
She was at home. Why didn't she answer the phone when he called just now? He was shocked and thought that something big had happened!
Why were there outsiders here?
He knew Carolien. After nodding and greeting each other, Uncle Quentin frowned unconsciously. "These two... why do they look so familiar?"
Without elaborating on the details, Elijah said, "Uncle Quentin, there are some things that I'll explain to you later! As for these two, I'm sure you've heard of them. This is my father's old friend..."
He looked at Doreen and Kim Mi-chi. After all, there were still outsiders and the butler present. Elijah didn't know how to explain their identities!
At this moment, the woman said directly, "Quentin, it's been a long time since we last met. I'm Doreen!"
The eyes of Uncle Quentin and the butler widened almost at the same time, and they didn't say anything for a long time.
They hadn't seen each other for more than 20 years. Quentin really couldn't recognize this half childhood sweetheart who had grown up with him. The housekeeper, who had been with Mr. Luther, had seen her when he was young. But this day, when they came in, they were in Mrs. Luther's car. In addition, Mrs. Luther gave most people a holiday after she entered the house. Therefore, there were actually some servants who left the courtyard. In addition, she specially told them not to serve them, so the servants left were all avoided. If she hadn't asked the housekeeper to come back, he wouldn't have known at this moment!
Neither of them had expected that she would step on the Luther family's territory again.
For a long time, the two of them did not speak, but their eyes fell on Mrs. Luther at the same time. She was supported by Carolien, and there was no expression on her face.
It was only at this moment that Elijah spoke.
"Uncle Quentin, this is more important! Let's talk about the old days or other things later! Uncle Quentin, I want to know if my father really left something in the hands of six people, including you, when he was alive. Is that true? What is it? What is it used for? Now that our family is here, and our lawyer is also present, let's take it as a witness! If there is something, please say it in front of everyone!" Seeing this scene, Uncle Quentin saw something more or less. He restrained his expression at once, looked at Lawyer Clark, and said,
"Elijah, I really don't know about the six people you mentioned, and what your father left behind. However, your father did leave a key for me and Mr. Clark respectively. He said that if one day someone called me and told me a set of fixed digits, and when they matched, I should go find Lawyer Clark and combine his key with the two-thirds of the password that each of us knew. Then, we could open a safe in your home. Your father told us at that time that inside the safe were his personal belongings, not valuable, and perhaps never needed in a lifetime. But if the time came, it meant there was a significant situation. Consider it as leaving a contingency plan, whether we would use it or not, it's another matter. The safe was custom-made when your father replaced it, the same one your family often used, but inside it had a separate compartment. As for what was inside, neither Lawyer Clark nor I saw it. But we each had a key, one-third of the password, and there was another third, which you just gave us that set of numbers, adding them up in pairs to get the sum of the first two digits. Your father said he did it for security reasons, the things inside might not have much significance to outsiders, but they were crucial for the Luther family, and for him, they must not be lost."
After telling him the general situation of that year, Uncle Quentin said and looked at Lawyer Clark from time to time. The past was too long, and he almost forgot about it.
Back then, he had even laughed at him for being so idle!
But later, when he saw that he was not tired of it and even begged again and again, and even seriously asked Mr. Clark from a legal family to come over and at the same time invited several famous witnesses to go through the legal process, he kept the key. In order not to lose it, he specifically asked him if he could keep more keys.
He had no objection at all!
He had asked him in private before. Why didn't he just hand it over to his wife and children?
But he just smiled and didn't say anything!
Later, he also said that he would not be afraid that one of the simple things would be made up in vain. But he said that if it was true, it was also God's will. In the end, he also asked them to swear that this matter would not be told to anyone at that time, including their family and relatives! He guessed that it might have something to do with their mother and son, or he wanted to give them a guarantee, so he did not mention it to anyone!
Before he died, the last word he said while holding his hand was the key. Only
then did he feel that it might be very important to him!
He was gentle and cultivated, indifferent to fame and fortune. His mind was actually very meticulous His father had told him that in
addition to him being young, the line
reason why he was chosen as the
successor of the Luther family was that he only took advantage of his physical advantage. His big brother was smarter than him when it came to dealing with things! At that time, the Luther family was at the most turbulent turning point, and the glorious era of relying on fists to make a living had passed. noveldrama
In fact, wisdom was always the strongest at any time!
As he recalled the past, Uncle Quentin's gaze once again fell upon Elijah.
"I remember that your father said that once we use these two keys, it means that the Luther family is in great danger. He hopes that we will not use these two keys in our lifetime! Hey, what happened?"
As the saying went, there was no end to success. Even though the Luther family had been fluctuating over the years, in all fairness, Elijah was even more outstanding than his parents. No matter how dangerous Triumphoods Group was now, it shouldn't have reached this level in such a short period of time, right?
Besides, he now had a star wife who could attract a lot of money, and Lauren married an exceptional man. What kind of crisis was there? Was it that they could not comprehend that they got to this point?
Uncle Quentin was very confused. "How could he not know about it at this point?" His business' minor investment was not fake! At this critical moment, how could his only nephew of the Luther family, who usually only had dividends, stand by and do nothing?
He didn't expect such a thing to happen. For a moment, Elijah's heart was filled with a chill.
But when his eyes inadvertently swept over Carolien, the feeling suddenly disappeared. "No! It won't happen!"
In the past, he might have doubted his father's love, but when he thought of his son and the changes that happened every day, his father's mood was indescribable! At that moment, he really realized the true meaning of being a father. He would never hesitate to give his life to the little life in front of him, let alone something!
This was a type of innate nature!
He believed that even if his father's love and expectation for him might not be as deep as he expected, would his father's family affection and many years of affection not be comparable to that of a former lover?
It went against the nature of human nature!
He didn't believe it!
If his father was so selfish that he only loved love, he would really admit it!
It didn't take long for him to regain his composure.
"Uncle Quentin, don't you want to know what my father left behind? I'll tell you more about our family affairs later. Since it's my father's order, let's follow the rules!"
He raised his hand to one side and made an inviting gesture. "This woman is here
for this reason! Coincidentally, I am also very curious as to what my dear father left behind for us!"
Full of doubts, Uncle Quentin opened his mouth several times but did not make a sound. He turned his eyes to Lawyer Clark beside him and took out a key from his
pocket.
"Okay! Mr. Clark, please!"
Then, the lawyer took out a leather bag from his briefcase, took down the seal in
front of everyone, and passed it to them one by one.
"This is Mr. Luther's signature! Mr. Luther and are partners of this incident! The conditions for opening the safe is that no matter who it is, we can only recognize the password and Double Dragon buckle. Anyone who can find us will be asked to open the safe on the spot! As for what is inside and how to arrange it, Mr. Luther has already entrusted it to us to seal it. We don't know, nor do we know if anyone has opened it during this period of time, so we are not allowed to do so!"
Then, he took out another document.
"These are the terms for opening the safe. According to Mr. Luther, this safe is with self-destruction and
protection. In addition to the kernet
password, there is also a set of passwords in the Double Dragon buckle. The person who opens it will know that there is no mistake during this period, because we only have
one chance! Now our part is complete, and the other password is related to the Double Dragon buckle. We don't know what the Double Dragon buckles are, nor do we care about it. It is up to the person involved to decide whether to open it
or not! If you decide to open it now
and sign this document, it will be effective. Our task will be completed, and everything will end here. The follow-up is simply as a witness. Of course, if we are to hand over the
key and avoid the password, we will also accept it!"
In the end, Doreen wasn't the only one who took out a pair of Double Dragon
buckles and signed it. Even Elijah had signed it on behalf of the Luther family. The group of people then walked to a safe in the side cabinet of the study. Elijah first opened the safe and took out all the cash and jewelry stored inside. Only then did he show the empty safe in front of everyone.
