Li Tianlong immediately gave a serious order, “Fang Guofeng, immediately escort this Rubik’s Cube to the villa.
Do not let anything happen to it, you understand?”

The Rubik’s Cube acted as the key to the next portal, it’s imperative nothing occurs during transportation.

“Yes Sir!” Detective Fang Guofeng knew the gravity of the matter and immediately escorted the Rubik’s Cube to the villa with his assistant.

Half an hour later.

The cube arrived safely at Chu Yun’s villa where the anticipating experts and related individuals were already waiting.
Likewise, the viewers in the stream and TV stations covering the event were also staring hard at the screens, anxiously awaiting the historic moment.

“Here it is, it’s finally here!” Old Wang exclaims after getting the first glimpse of the escort convoy through his TV, “Son, go invite Old Horse and the others over, tell them we can watch the broadcast together while having a drink!”

……

In the villa, Song and her three friends were getting ready to welcome the government agents after getting word.

“Miss Song, I am happy to announce that we did not disappoint your expectations!” Fang Guofeng respectfully delivered the Rubik’s Cube to Song’s hand.

Holding the gift, Song hands trembled slightly as a complex light-filled those eyes.
There’s hope, but at the same time, there’s unease about what’s behind that door.
What if the truth wasn’t good? What then?

Seeing Song’s hesitation, Spirit immediately reached over and patted her friend’s hand in encouragement: “Sister Song, didn’t Brother-in-law say that this is something that all women like? I don’t think my brother-in-law will disappoint you after all he’s done!”

Music also chimes in: “Yes Sister Song, this is a Valentine’s Day gift from your husband, don’t you want to know what it is?”

“That’s right, don’t you want to know? If this gift isn’t up to par with the rest of the stuff here, I won’t let him off the hook!” Coco the school idol pumped her fist up and snorted.

Fang Guofeng and the others also looked over in anticipation for Song’s reply.
Honestly, they are quite afraid the lady would back off and not open the door after all they’ve done and waited.

“Don’t worry, how could I possibly back down now?” Song smiles to show she’s fine and not to worry.

I still has to find my husband, how can I back down now? Nothing will get in my way!

With the promise, the crowd didn’t linger and began walking toward the underground tunnel.

Using this opening, Music also got to work and opened up the live broadcast with her camera.
It’s then that a prompt notice got sent to her subscribers that it’s up.

Among the millions of viewers tuning in, Song Li was a young male clerk working an office job.
He got the notice on his phone while doing the toilet, which made him both happy and unhappy because he didn’t hog a spot in the toilet yet.
Watching a video at work was a big no no, it’s punishable with a warning or termination.

OFF TO THE TOILETS!

Song Li wasn’t the only fan among his peers.
By the time he ran over to the toilet, it had already got crowded with people like a flash mob you see on those internet clips.
It’s just that instead of mobs dancing to a tune, you have guys and girls holding instant noodle cups and snacks.

“What are you all doing? GET OUT OF THE TOILET AND BACK TO WORK!!”

Right as the mob became flustered on not getting their ideal toilet stall, a bald man dressed in a manager’s attire roared and ran over: “If I find anyone still lingering around here then it will be overtime tonight!”

Without a second of hesitation, the white tie office workers instantly bolted, fleeing in all directions.

This should’ve been a typical scene at any company.
The manager comes around and yells at the subordinates before going back to their desk to work, but this time was different.
The bald manager actually smiled deviously and pulled out his own phone to head inside.
He expected all seven stalls to be vacant and was ready to find a good spot to enjoy his break, but then he noticed an occupied unit that enraged him.
This was a provocation of his authority, which won’t stand at all!

“Bang bang bang!”

He smacked the door with his palm and yelled, “I dare you to keep hiding in there! You better not ever come out!”

“Squeak~”

The door opened.

But instead of roasting the occupant, the bald manager instantly went pale and popped his eyes in horror.

“Di….
Director?!”

The company director didn’t make any faces, only staring expressionlessly at his own subordinate while having the broadcast opened on his phone.
“Don’t bother me.
Go to the next one and watch if you’re staying!”

……

“It’s airing.
It’s finally airing!”

The popularity of the live broadcast room was growing at a terrifying rate.

“Aaaah, the one night of waiting felt like a whole year!”

“I have to say that those Rubik’s Cube players are really incredible, they actually managed to solve the puzzle that I couldn’t possibly hope to solve in a lifetime.”

“Thank goodness I’m smart, I’ve found a good stall long ago and got my place in the toilet.”

“That’s nothing, I called in sick and got the doctor’s note ready as well.
Nothing will get in my way of watching this stream.”

“I’m just lucky.
My truck tires popped so I’m able to watch this in the mechanic’s shop.”

“Damn, you are all insane, going to such length for this stream.”

……

National Security Bureau.

Li Tianlong and others sat in the conference room, their eyes staring nervously at the screen.

What exactly will be behind the second door?

If there is really something more precious than the gold house, what will we do?

“Da, da, da—”

It’s at this moment a series of steady footsteps suddenly sounded, causing the occupants of the room to look over to the entranceway.

This, this footstep is…

Li Tianlong’s body faintly shuddered before jerking up to peek out the window.
It’s there that he saw the old man walking over with great energy in his feet.

The senior’s face was thin, but strong as a knife, and his body was straight with no sign of being frail due to the old age.

This reaction from the security director naturally piqued the curiosity of the other agents.
When they also peeked over to inspect who could draw their boss’s attention to such a degree, they all jolted back at that face.

“Second Elder.” Li Tianlong personally ran over to open the door in wait.

Nodding in a manner that’s to say he expected such a welcome, Second Elder entered the conference room and took the leading position where the director sat before.

“Everyone sit.” He orders, that militaristic voice telling of his history.

Without ado, the agents all rigidly took their place around the table and waited.

“Second Elder, how come you came in person? If there’s an order then you could’ve called or texted me, there’s no need for you to personally make this trip.” Li Tianlong nervously brought a chair over for himself and sat next to the senior.

He knew the matter of Song’s home being very important, hence the reason why he reported it to the elder council.
It’s just that the director never thought the Second Elder himself would visit as a result.
That’s unheard of unless the situation was so grave that it couldn’t be ignored.

“Is this the gold house you mentioned before?” Second Elder ignored the guy and instead pointed to the shining bling bling through the TV screen.

At this moment, the people were passing through the Golden House and heading for the second door.

Li Tianlong nodded and responded: “It is the gold house I mentioned in the report.
After having the authoritative experts in the field examine the purity, the evaluation we got was of the highest quality.
They say it’s worthy of being called a world wonder at no less than a trillion-dollar in price tag.”

More than a trillion? That’s more than the entire country’s annual GDP!

This evaluation startled even the Second Elder who came from a military background.
After a long silence of musing: “First it’s the wine, then the bookcase full of artworks, and now this gold house, you think I wouldn’t get involved if things continue to progress down this path?”
