Treasure Box

As Xu Zhenyun read out name after name, everyone present stared wide-eyed.
Xu Zhenyun's hands trembled; although his knowledge of antiques was limited, he was very familiar with these names.
Any one of these items was a treasure capable of astonishing the world; if they were all genuine, their value wouldn't match that of ten Xu families.
What kind of important figure could afford such astonishing gifts?
Xu Zhenyun subconsciously glanced at Xu Jiahao, wondering how Xu Jiahao knew someone of this caliber.
Not only was Xu Zhenyun surprised, but even Xu Jiahao couldn't imagine which of his friends could be so generous.
From the beginning, they had never doubted that the "young master" the gift-giver referred to wasn't Xu Jiahao. After
Xu Zhenyun finished examining the gifts, the assistant handed him a stack of authentication certificates, all signed with the name "Sun Chongnan," and personally signed.
Xu Zhenyun naturally knew that Sun Chongnan was a nationally renowned appraisal master; with his signature, these items were definitely genuine.
Especially the "Phoenix Soaring High" painting—there's only one in the world. If this one is genuine, it proves Xu Jiahao's is a cheap knock-off!
Lin Yang sneered inwardly as he listened to the names of the gifts. He knew these were gifts from the Lin family to curry favor with him.
Moreover, these collectibles were from the Lin family patriarch's collection, all unique pieces, extremely valuable. It seemed the Lin family had gone to great lengths to win him back.
Unfortunately, Lin Yang was no longer the young master who had just been kicked out of the Lin family; he didn't care about such material possessions.
"Jiahao, when did you meet someone like this who would send such a generous gift to the Xu family? Any one of these items is worth more than the Xu family's entire fortune!" Xu Zhenyun exclaimed excitedly.
The crowd gasped. While they knew antiques were valuable, they didn't realize these were top-quality pieces. Hearing Xu Zhenyun's words, they couldn't contain their excitement.
"Grandpa, although I know a few people who could afford such a gift, I can't immediately recall who sent it," Xu Jiahao said, feigning nonchalance.
None of his friends could afford to give such gifts, but those who did said they were giving them on behalf of the young master, so he naturally had to pretend to know important people.
"Giving such a generous gift, yet so modestly—that's true generosity! Jiahao, I'm so proud to have friends like you," Xu Zhenyun said with a smile to Xu Jiahao.
Xu Jiahao, equally smug, replied, "Grandpa, it's nothing. They're willing to give such gifts not only because of me, but also because of you, Grandpa."
Xu Zhenyun immediately chuckled. He liked Xu Jiahao because Xu Jiahao always made him feel incredibly important.
"Jiahao is truly a dragon among men in the Xu family! To receive such a generous gift, it seems our Xu family is destined for great things."
"That's right, Jiahao is truly outstanding. Compared to him, Lin Yang is utterly useless." "
I used to say Lin Yang wasn't worthy to carry Jiahao's shoes, but now it seems Lin Yang doesn't even deserve to sit at the same table with Jiahao. No one will ever give him such a generous gift in his lifetime."
"Haha, you're right. All of us here have the opportunity to meet important people and receive gifts from them, but Lin Yang is the only one without that ability."
...
Xu Guohua and Song Wanyue listened to the merciless mockery, their faces turning ugly.
"What a complete coward! Compared to Jiahao, you're nothing but a fart," Song Wanyue said through gritted teeth.
Lin Yang didn't care. Three years of seclusion had forged his resilient character. Although he knew these gifts were aimed at him, there was no need to say anything.
"Master, the person who delivered the gift also said that Miss Xu is exceptionally beautiful and a good match for their family," the assistant added.
Upon hearing this, the unmarried daughters of the Xu family immediately became excited. If
someone said that, they must have their eye on one of them. A family
that could send such a lavish gift must be extremely wealthy, and marrying into such a family was every one of their dreams.
Xu Xiaowan was the most smug, after all, she was the most beautiful among the Xu family daughters.
Although she was slightly less beautiful than Xu Suqing, Xu Suqing had already married Lin Yang, that good-for-nothing, so the person definitely wasn't after her.
Most people present also believed that the Miss Xu being referred to was Xu Xiaowan. Of course, a few still held a sliver of hope, thinking that the person was talking about them.
Xu Xiaowan had been jealous of Xu Suqing since childhood because she was prettier and had a less refined air. It was only after Xu Suqing married Lin Yang that she felt a little better.
Seeing these gifts and hearing those words, Xu Xiaowan was almost certain that Xu Jiahao's friend had his eye on her, and that these gifts were just the beginning of his pursuit.
She turned to Xu Suqing and said sarcastically, "Sister, it seems I'm about to have a stroke of luck. What a pity! If you hadn't married that good-for-nothing Lin Yang, maybe these gifts would have been for you."
Xu Suqing's face immediately turned ashen. Although she didn't envy or crave marrying into a wealthy family, everyone has desires, and anyone would yearn for those gifts.
Seeing Xu Suqing's reaction, Lin Yang asked, "Do you want those things?"
Xu Suqing glanced at Lin Yang and said, "Whether I want them or not, can you give them to me?"
Lin Yang nodded seriously and said, "Those things will be yours sooner or later, I promise."
Xu Suqing was stunned. She had only said it in anger, but she hadn't expected such a response from Lin Yang. Moreover, she sensed an unprecedented confidence in Lin Yang's words, something she had never felt before.
"What utterly shameless talk! A piece of trash like you, you think you could get your hands on such treasures for her? Once I marry into a wealthy family, all these things will be mine," Xu Xiaowan said disdainfully.
After looking at the certificates, Xu Zhenyun couldn't wait to go to the antiques.
These antiques were all placed in transparent glass boxes, exquisitely designed and uniquely constructed. From the outside, it was impossible to tell how to open them.
Xu Zhenyun looked at them for a long time before realizing that he couldn't even open the boxes to take out the treasures inside.
"These boxes are so strange, how can I not open them?" Xu Zhenyun frowned.
A group of people gathered around, all wanting to see what was going on with the boxes.
Xu Jiahao was also puzzled; such valuable antiques were placed in front of them, yet they couldn't even touch them.
Xu Suqing was also full of curiosity, staring at the boxes.
Seeing this, Lin Yang explained, "This box is called the 'Treasure Box,' a protective box made based on the Luban lock. The box is made of very hard material; even bullets can't penetrate it. To open it, you must first find the lock, then slide it..."
Xu Suqing's eyes widened immediately upon hearing Lin Yang's explanation. She hadn't expected Lin Yang to actually explain the steps to open the box.
Although she didn't know if it was true or not, seeing Lin Yang's serious expression, Xu Suqing felt that this was probably how the box should be opened.
The reason Lin Yang knew so much about the Treasure Box wasn't because he had seen it at the Lin family home, but because he had made it out of boredom as a child.
The Lin family was probably using this Treasure Box to store antiques to remind him of his childhood, hoping to change his mind.
Xu Jiahao overheard Lin Yang's explanation to Xu Suqing. Although he didn't believe Lin Yang knew how to open the box, it didn't sound fake, so he went over and tried it on the box. To his surprise, it actually made the box change.
He immediately rolled his eyes, turned around, and repeated Lin Yang's words: "This box is called the Treasure Box..."
as if he knew the box's origin very well.
Everyone was amazed, never expecting such an ingenious mechanism to exist. Afterwards, everyone fawned over Xu Jiahao.
Xu Jiahao was smug and deliberately glanced at Lin Yang, thinking, "So what if you know how to open the box? I'll tell you now; this method is what I came up with."
Then he followed the steps to unlock the mechanism, and everyone held their breath, watching the box open little by little, all filled with astonishment.
"Jiahao is incredibly clever! He managed to solve such a complex mechanism."
"He's practically a god! With Jiahao's intelligence, it's hard for him not to succeed."
"Tsk tsk, the old man has found a dragon among men!"
...
Xu Jiahao, listening to the praise, was also full of pride and quickly reached the final step.
However, to his surprise, after completing the last step, the treasure box didn't open.
Everyone looked puzzled when they saw him stop.
Xu Jiahao was embarrassed and immediately realized that Lin Yang was playing a trick on him; this wasn't the way to open the treasure box at all.
He turned and glared fiercely at Lin Yang, wishing he could devour him.
Lin Yang looked relaxed, even a little amused.
His method wasn't fake; he just hadn't revealed the final step when he discovered Xu Jiahao was eavesdropping.
Without this final step, the treasure box absolutely couldn't be opened.
Seeing Xu Jiahao's smug expression, enjoying the praise, now looking utterly defeated, Lin Yang found it somewhat amusing.
“Jiahao, why aren’t you moving? The box isn’t open yet,” Xu Zhenyun said.
“Ah… well, I need to study this box a bit more. I was in a rush just now, and I’m still a little short of opening it. Why don’t we eat first, and I’ll think about it again later and work on the remaining steps,” Xu Jiahao said, looking embarrassed.
Everyone nodded in understanding, but in their hearts, they all felt that Xu Jiahao was making excuses. Such a complicated box couldn’t be opened so easily.
Xu Suqing knew that Xu Jiahao was using the method Lin Yang had suggested, and now that she saw the box wasn’t open, she couldn’t help but give Lin Yang a disappointed look.
It seemed that he hadn’t changed at all; he was still as useless as before, actually deluding himself into thinking he could open such a complicated box.
Lin Yang felt Xu Suqing’s gaze and immediately became uncomfortable. He had to let Xu Suqing know that he wasn’t lying.
He immediately stepped forward and said loudly, “I can open this box.”
