Chapter 554

In the conference room on the second floor of the Crescent Hotel, Yin Nanfeng's patience had reached its limit.

From the moment Zhang Lin came off the stage, entered this room, and got the Dragon-Patterned Stone Box, he had been sitting there motionless, as if he had been petrified.

Yin Nanfeng wanted to ask several times, but held it back.

She was afraid of disturbing Zhang Lin's thinking, and then he would blame her later!

But Zhang Lin was like a wooden person, holding the Dragon-Patterned Stone Box and looking at it for a long time without even blinking.

If she hadn't been close enough to hear him breathing, Yin Nanfeng would have really thought this person was fake!

Just when Yin Nanfeng's patience reached its limit, Zhang Lin finally moved.

She saw him put the Dragon-Patterned Stone Box back on the table and say slowly: "This thing... I can't understand it either."

Whoosh—

Yin Nanfeng stood up instantly, her expression speechless.

"You couldn't understand it, yet you looked at it for so long, making us not even dare to breathe—so you looked at it for half a day and saw nothing?"

Zhang Lin nodded seriously, "It really was looking at nothing!"

"Do you know the origin of this stone box?"

Only the Zhang family and the Wang family knew the secret of the Dragon-Patterned Stone Box.

Zhang Lin thought Yin Nanfeng hadn't heard of this thing.

Who knew she would nod and say: "I know, Chairman Zhang told me."

Zhang Lin understood; it was Zhang Yueshan!

Zhang Yueshan was of the Zhang family's main bloodline, so naturally, he knew about the Dragon-Patterned Stone Box.

"Then Chairman Zhang should also know that, logically speaking, this stone box should be in the hands of the Wang family now; it shouldn't appear here."

Yin Nanfeng smiled and said: "Chairman Zhang only said that this Dragon-Patterned Stone Box was lost by the Zhang family, but he wasn't clear if it fell into the hands of the Wang family."

"But now that you say so, then it must be correct!"

Zhang Lin didn't care at all about leaking an important piece of information casually.

The Crescent Hotel could now be considered on the same side as him; it was reasonable for Yin Nanfeng to know some secrets.

"So, the origin of this stone box is very unusual!"

"Either the Wang family's brains went wrong, and they let someone go deep into the Wang family's core department and steal this thing out."

"Or, this stone box itself is fake!"

Yin Nanfeng didn't quite agree that the stone box was fake; after all, this thing had a super high technical content!

So high that people today still couldn't understand it!

The cost of faking it was huge; if one didn't have a thorough understanding of the principles of the Dragon-Patterned Stone Box, even Zhang Yueshan couldn't be fooled.

Let alone trying to muddle through with Zhang Lin!

Therefore, Yin Nanfeng said: "This thing shouldn't be fake."

"Chairman Zhang looked at it and also studied the password structure on it; it's no different from that stone box from back then!"

"But whether it's the same one, he couldn't quite tell."

Zhang Lin laughed and said: "Since Chairman Zhang thinks it's real, then only the first possibility remains."

"Someone showed off in front of the Wang family and easily stole the Dragon-Patterned Stone Box out!"

Hearing this, Yin Nanfeng's bad experience started attacking her again.

She hummed and said: "This person didn't just show off in front of the Wang family; even the Crescent Hotel was played by him!"

Zhang Lin glanced at her and said without giving any face: "Alright, stop trying to make yourself look good; compared to the Wang family, the Crescent Hotel is still a bit lacking."

"Since they could play the Wang family in circles, dealing with you is naturally a piece of cake."

"However, I actually think there is another possibility..."

Being complained about by Zhang Lin, Yin Nanfeng's cheeks turned bright red; she was clearly angered.

But she was attracted by Zhang Lin's words, and out of curiosity, she lowered her status and asked: "What is the other possibility?"

Zhang Lin said without thinking: "The other possibility is that this thing was put in by the Wang family themselves."

This guess made Yin Nanfeng and Sheng Sheng Man pause for a moment.

The Wang family put the Dragon-Patterned Stone Box into the century-old mailbox?

This guess...

Is too problematic!

First of all, the Wang family values the Dragon-Patterned Stone Box highly; this thing is related to King Zhou Mu's longevity art!

They spent so much effort to get it from the Zhang family, how could they give it to Zhang Lin so easily?

There is another point, which is that the Wang family couldn't possibly know how to use this century-old mailbox!

Yin Nanfeng was confident about this!

The mailbox had been in the back alley of the Crescent Hotel for a long time.

Yin Nanfeng had never given this mailbox too much attention.

She just followed the agreement of the past hundred years and sent someone to open it and check it regularly!

Since she took charge of the Crescent Hotel, she had never seen anything appear inside.

In other words, this mailbox hadn't been used for a long time!

So much so that she once suspected that everyone who knew about the mailbox's existence was dead.

It wasn't until after Zhang Lin appeared and an eye-coal essence was put into the mailbox that Yin Nanfeng was shocked to realize that the legend of this century-old mailbox was actually true!

The Crescent Hotel's own people didn't care about it, and when the mailbox agreement was set, it had nothing to do with the Wang family.

Therefore, Yin Nanfeng was very sure that the Wang family couldn't possibly use this mailbox!

Naturally, it was even more impossible for them to take the initiative to give the Dragon-Patterned Stone Box to Zhang Lin.

Otherwise, what would they be after?

After Zhang Lin's sharp tongue to expose their secrets at any time?

This statement doesn't make logical sense no matter how you think about it!

"Your statement doesn't make sense—how does it not make sense? I'm too lazy to explain it to you; anyway, the Crescent Hotel isn't so useless that the secret of the mysterious mailbox from a hundred years ago would be known by the Wang family."

Hearing Yin Nanfeng speak so decisively, Zhang Lin was too lazy to expose her.

The Crescent Hotel isn't so useless?

Then how has Zuo Fu been by Yin Nanfeng's side for so many years!

The Wang family had long since infiltrated the Crescent Hotel, and this young lady was still slow to realize it.

It's probably because the Crescent Hotel has existed for too long, causing Yin Nanfeng to lose a lot of awe.

This state is actually very dangerous.

People without awe are prone to relaxing their vigilance, and thus more prone to accidents!

Yin Nanfeng's attitude and style of doing things destined her to suffer a big loss in the future.

However, Zhang Lin wasn't her father; he had no obligation to help educate her children.
