After being handled by Old Man Huang, the cigarette box finally revealed its true face.

  The front of the golden box, which was previously covered with chewing gum, has been completely cleaned up. Underneath the dried and hardened chewing gum were many small gemstones.

  Gu Miao and Huang Laobo counted that the front of the cigarette case was inlaid with 80 gems, including 59 diamonds, 8 rubies, 7 sapphires, and 6 emeralds.

  Not only that, but an oval-shaped blue sapphire is also inlaid on the button on the side of the cigarette case. The gemstone on the side button is somehow covered with chewing gum, so even when Gu Miao held it in his hand to check it earlier, he didn't notice it.

  The arrangement of the gems is very orderly, with white transparent diamonds arranged together to form a pattern similar to leaves, while colored gems are scattered on the carved branches, looking like colorful flowers from afar.

  After cleaning up the back of the cigarette case, it was indeed as Huang Laobo said, with a British royal crest on the back.

  After cleaning up the entire cigarette case, it doesn't look like there's much wear and tear, and it's still relatively well-preserved, with very few scratches.

  Old Huang suppressed his excitement and wiped dry the water stain on the cigarette box, then took out another set of small tools to repair the connection between the lid and the body.

  "Look, what a beautiful cigarette box!" Old Man Huang's movements were quick, and before long, he had fixed the cigarette box.

  "It's really beautiful, I didn't expect it to have so many gems on it." Gu Ming gently stroked the box with her left hand, and when she touched the gemstone part, a clearer heat was transmitted than before, and the crackling sound of lighting a cigarette also became slightly louder.

  "I think this cigarette case was made around 1896. Look at the emblem on the back, the circle in the middle has an ancient French phrase 'y' which means 'May those with malicious intentions be humiliated', and the ribbon below is written in French with the English king's motto ' meaning 'Above there is the Emperor, I have the right'. (Cotton candy)" Old Man Huang looked at the emblem on the back of the cigarette case with a sigh, shook his head and said: "I think the cotton candy on this box wasn't put here by accident. Look how it covers all the key places, most likely someone did it on purpose, just don't know who or why."

  "I originally just wanted to use my newly received bonus to buy a gift for my grandfather and mother, but I didn't expect to buy such a big gift." Gu Ming happily stroked the cigarette case, eager to take this gemstone-encrusted case back to show his grandfather immediately.

  "Perhaps it's because you have this filial heart that heaven will bless you." Old Man Huang had calmed down from his previous excitement, and spoke to Gu Mian with a calm face.

  It wasn't until now that Gu Mian remembered. At the time, when they were at the street stall, it seemed that Old Man Huang had also discovered the cigarette box, but Gu Mian was just a little quicker. He took the cigarette box into his hands before Old Man Huang could.

  Just looking at Old Man Huang's appearance, he seemed to be not too concerned about it.

  Gu Mei thought for a moment and finally decided to avoid this topic, lest the two of them feel awkward.

  After all, she had already bought the cigarette box. This shows that Huang Laobo and this cigarette box had no fate, although Huang Laobo helped her clean up the chewing gum on the cigarette box, also repaired the cigarette box for her, and finally explained the cigarette box to her, but this couldn't let her directly give the cigarette box to Huang Laobo, unless they had a deep relationship.

  It's just a pity that they met for the first time today and coincidentally had an intersection because of this cigarette case.

  "I wonder how much such a cigarette box is worth?" Gu Ming brought the topic to the value of the cigarette box.

  "Conservatively estimated, it's worth at least 2-3 million. If you were to auction it off, the price would definitely be even higher. I haven't seen a cigarette case as beautiful as this in a long time. Those ordinary silver cigarette cases on the outside have some collectible value, but whether it's the material, style or cultural factors behind it, most of them can't compare to the one you're holding." Old Man Huang said slowly, without a hint of greed in his eyes.

  It started with Old Man Huang's words. Gu Ming had been paying attention to the other person's expression all along.

  One must not have a mind to harm others, but one cannot be without a mind to defend against others. In this world, who knows how many people have done evil things for the sake of money? If she had known that there were so many precious gems hidden under the cigarette box covered with chewing gum, she probably wouldn't have agreed to follow Old Man Huang here.

  Fortunately, Old Man Huang was a man of integrity, and his eyes on the cigarette box only showed appreciation, without any greed or jealousy.

  It seems her luck isn't bad after all, Gu Ming thought to herself quietly.

  Knock knock knock...

  Just as Gu Miao and Huang Laobo were talking, a knock at the door was suddenly heard from the entrance.

  The knock on the door was neither urgent nor slow, but at a moderate pace, giving people a very orderly feeling.

  But this didn't reassure Old Man Huang. He straightened his expression, immediately signaling to Gu Mian not to make a sound with his hand, and turned off the lights in the house at the same time.

  Gu Mei thought of the people chasing after Huang Lao Bo at the flower and bird market, her heart tightened involuntarily. She quickly put the cigarette box into her own bag and stood quietly on one side, watching as Huang Lao Bo moved stealthily towards the direction of the door.

  "Master Huang, Master Huang is in?" Just as Old Man Huang approached the door and hadn't had time to look out through the peephole, he heard someone outside shouting.

  Old Huang paused for a moment, didn't respond, and moved closer to the cat's eye to take a look, then moved aside again, and went over to take another look.

  Gu Meng looked at Huang Laobo's strange movements and felt a sense of puzzlement in her heart. Could it be that there was more than one cat eye on this door?

  "Huang Shifu, I have something to ask for your help. My mother's maiden name was Zhu Li Wei Te." The person outside heard that there was still no movement inside the house and continued to speak.

  At the mention of Juliet White, Old Man Huang's motion to check the door stopped, and after a brief silence, he spoke up: "Little Sweet Bun Juliet?"

  "It's not Little Sweetie Julie, it's Chocolate Donut Julie." The person outside replied.

  "What's your name?" Huang Laobo continued to ask.

  "I am Robert Smith, the son of the married Julia White." The person outside paused. Then said: "I have a letter written by my mother to Master Huang, if Master Huang doesn't mind, may I come in and discuss it with him?"

  Old Huang hesitated for a moment, then let out a long sigh and opened the door to let the person standing outside come in.

  Gu Mei had been paying attention to the movement at the door, and when Huang Laobo opened it, four foreigners who looked very tall walked in from outside.

  The foreigner walking in the front is a typical blond-haired, blue-eyed handsome man, looking around 30 years old, exuding an air of seriousness and solemnity. Behind the blond-haired, blue-eyed foreign man are three men wearing black suits similar to bodyguards.

  Seeing this, Gu Mei couldn't help but secretly click her tongue, quickly guessing the other person's background in her mind, while her thoughts inadvertently floated to the other person's fluent Chinese.

  If she hadn't seen him with her own eyes, she would have thought he was just a fellow countryman who liked to take on foreign names.

  "Thank you, Master Huang." Robert nodded politely to Old Man Huang. Noticing that there were others in the room, he quickly scanned Gu Mian with his bright blue eyes.

  Gu Mei only felt a layer of cold ice sweep over her, and suddenly a rather uncomfortable feeling emerged on her body.

  Huang Laobo gave Gu Mian a reassuring look. He casually patted the sofa in the living room with his hand and said to Robert, "Sit."

  Robert looked at the sofa that had just been patted by Old Lady Huang, slightly furrowed his brow and still sat down as he said, then took out an old yellowed envelope from his pocket and handed it to Old Lady Huang.

  Old Huang took over the letter and glanced at Robert. He quickly opened the envelope, pulled out the letter written in black ink inside, and began to read it.

  Gu Meng didn't intend to get close to Old Man Huang and those foreigners. She clearly felt that the three bodyguards following behind Robert had shifted part of their attention onto her from the moment they entered, as if she were some kind of terrorist who needed to be carefully watched.

  "Has the 'Rose Queen' gone bad?" Old Man Huang looked at Robert with a surprised face after finishing reading the letter.

  Robert nodded slightly: "Yes."

  "How could you be so careless? That kind of thing should be kept properly, how did it end up that I have to help out in the end? I don't believe there's no one else who can handle this job. I think your mother should know clearly, I've already said before, I won't do such things for the rest of my life. You'd better find someone else." Old Man Huang waved his hand at Robert, indicating that he was unwilling to help.

  "We had already looked for other people to fix the 'Rose Queen' before coming to find Master Huang. None of them were able to repair it without causing any damage." Robert said slowly.

  "If others can't do it, I'm even less capable. I'm just a useless old man waiting for death." Huang Laobo sighed with a hint of fatigue.

  "Master Huang, no need to be modest. My mother believes you can do it." Robert slightly raised his head, his bright green eyes staring straight at Old Master Huang: "My mother said so. In this world, except for you, there is no one who can perfectly repair the 'Rose Queen'."

  "This is just your mother's one-sided idea, I..."

  Bang!

  Suddenly, Robert dove down and rolled on the ground, a glass cup in front of him seemed to be hit by something and burst open violently, shards of glass scattered everywhere, while a bodyguard standing behind Robert suddenly fell head-first onto the sofa.
