Chapter 44 Hidden Treasure
The floor of the secret passage began to shake violently, and it almost killed them.
Charlee Ford stood up straight, leaned against the wall and said to his lordship in front, "Do something about it."
After all, it was the mechanism that his lordship ordered people to make. He dodged very quickly, but the four people behind him were not so lucky.
In the narrow path, a thick steel pipe suddenly fell from the sky and swept straight across, bringing a fierce wind.
"Hold on, I'll find the button of the mechanism." his lordship's voice came from the front.
However, his voice was drowned in the frightened screams of Maggie Ford and Lucia Miller.
"William, save me!" Maggie Ford held William Bryan's arm without thinking and went straight into his arms.
Lucia Miller also got together with William Bryan.
At this moment, this man really makes people feel safe.
Charlee Ford quickly glanced at William and made a decision after a short struggle.
She'd better depend on herself.
Seeing that the steel pipe was about to sweep straight towards her face, she might be penetrated the next second. Charlee Ford bit her teeth and supported the wall with one hand, intending to dodge.
However, just as her hand touched the wall, the wrist of the other hand was suddenly held by others.
Then, she was caged in his arms. After a whirl, she opened her eyes again. There was no steel tube in front of her.
Charlee Ford found that William Bryan saved her at the critical moment.
She was hesitating to say thank you, when suddenly there was an earth shaking scream behind her: "Ah, William, help me! I don't want to die!"
She could not help frowned when she heard the sound. The steel tube did not stop, but swept towards Maggie Ford and her mother at an unstoppable speed.
'So... just now William Bryan left Maggie Ford and her mother to save me?
Can I think so?"
The distance between the steel tube and Maggie Ford and her mother was less than ten centimeters. The two women screamed and wailed, and their eyes became increasingly desperate.
At this moment, it is too late for William Bryan to catch up.
Charlee Ford frowned.
Although she would like to see the two of them get hurt, but what about Grandpa Ford's whereabouts if they die?
Forget it, it's not a big deal to be exposed.
She thought so and was about to make a move when the steel pipe suddenly stopped in mid air.
His lordship sighed with relief and came to them and said, "Are you all right? I just paused the mechanism."
Maggie Ford and Lucia Miller hugged each other and their faces were full of snot and tears. It seemed that they did not have the family style that they always maintain.
They stood up trembling with the help of his lordship.
After getting up, the first thing was to stare at Charlee.
"You bitch, would we have been nearly killed if you hadn't jumped into William's arms just now?" Maggie Ford pointed at her nose and scolded.
Charlee Ford: "?" She opened her eyes wide in innocence.
"What are you pretending to be? Just now, William clearly was protecting us. If it wasn't you..."
"Shut up." A cold voice suddenly came from behind.
William Bryan glanced at the vexatious Maggie Ford, and then lost patience: "Even without her, I wouldn't care about you."
He said that, ignoring the desperate expression on Maggie Ford's face, he turned and followed his lordship to move on.
Charlee Ford shrugged her shoulders and kept up with William Bryan.
Maggie Ford looked at their backs and her eyes were full of evil.
William Bryan never did this to her before, if it wasn't for the appearance of this woman
Just the third daughter of the Collins, how dare she seduced the man from Country Y to America. Since this is the case, no matter what happened to her in America, the Collins couldn't help her.
......
Because of the previous accident, several people behind walked carefully.
It didn't take long for them to arrive at a gate. Unlike the path with heavy mechanisms, this gate is simple, but full of a sense of technology.
His Lordship of the Browns put his fingerprint on the door and unlocked it, and the door slowly opened to both sides.
The furnishings in the meeting room are no different from those in ordinary meeting rooms. Five people went in and found a seat at random.
Unfortunately, William Bryan was sitting beside Charlee Ford.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have a very serious matter to discuss with you." His lordship said frankly.
"What?" William Bryan looked up at him.
His lordship looked around the table, and finally looked at William Bryan: "This is very important. I hope you all can keep this a secret."
"Don't worry. You can trust us." Maggie Ford waved her hand.
His Lordship hesitated and continued: "Well, I think you all know more or less about the treasure found by the four families ten years ago."
When he uttered that, everyone except William Bryan was shocked.
"Why is Miss Collins so surprised?" His Lordship suddenly looked at Charlee Ford.
To be honest, Charlee Ford have never heard about the four families and treasures before.
It seems that her friends have talked about this topic, but she never paid attention to it.
She steadied her mind and said calmly, "I'm just surprised that I never heard my uncle mention it. After all, that's why the Collins..."
She hesitated, but his lordship said he understood.
He nodded, and then said: "In fact, we have never stopped searching in the past ten years. Recently, I found the trace of this treasure again, so I want to join hands with the three old families to find the treasure again."
His lordship was already old, but when he talked about the treasure, his eyes were still shining.
"Really?" Lucia Miller was also excited
"Since I dare to mention it, I have already got an idea." His lordship nodded, "I found out that if you want to find the treasure, you must first have a map."
"Where is the map?" Lucia Miller can't wait to ask.
His Lordship glanced at her meaningfully and replied, "According to my investigation, when the map disappeared ten years ago, it was in the hands of Maggie's grandpa that it last appeared."
When they heard this, Maggie Ford, Lucia Miller and Charlee Ford's hearts jumped suddenly.
Grandpa...
"So, please bother Miss Ford to inquire about your grandpa." His Lordship said slowly.
