Who would still be a social slave when they are so rich?

Su Chen stopped and turned around upon hearing the sound. He saw Chen Yao running towards him quickly, with an excited expression on his face.

"What? Did you find something good on the computer again?" Su Chen turned around, a faint smile on his lips, and looked at Chen Yao, who had walked up to him.

"Phew~" Chen Yao took several deep breaths to catch his breath before handing his phone to Su Chen and saying, "I just received a message from my teacher. Professor Xiao will call you in ten minutes through a top-secret channel. He says he has something very important to discuss with you."

"Discuss it with me?!" A hint of surprise flashed in Su Chen's eyes, but he quickly understood. It must be because of the video Chen Yao sent back earlier.

"So anxious, could it be that you want me to find a way to transport that knock engine back?" This thought flashed through Su Chen's mind instantly, otherwise Grandpa Xiao wouldn't have made a special call to him.

Despite his thoughts, Su Chen's hands didn't stop moving at all; he reached out and took the phone from Chen Yao's hand.

With a light swipe of his fingertip across the screen, the lock screen immediately switched to the secure interface that Su Chen had seen before, with an encrypted message on it, which was the one that Old Wang had sent earlier.

By this time, Chen Yao had calmed down and tentatively asked, "Old Su, do you think the higher-ups want us—or rather, you—to transport that experimental machine back?"

Chen Yao's idea was not just a wild guess. Su Chen controlled IPS Security Company and, with IPS's extensive global network of channels, it was still possible for him to smuggle the test machine back to China.

However, this means that IPS will have to bear the corresponding risks. If relevant information is leaked carelessly, it will definitely attract the attention of the United States, and the financial groups behind it will also have objections to IPS.

Su Chen had guessed that this was probably the case, but the risks involved were too great. If it attracted the attention of the bald eagle, it might affect Su Chen's plans in Africa and those ports, which would be a loss rather than a gain.

After all, he already possessed the technology for detonation engines. Rather than risk exposing the IPS system, he would rather wait until he developed it himself and make it the flagship product of his future military industrial group.

After a moment's hesitation, Su Chen replied, "Let's wait for Old Master Xiao's call and hear what their arrangements are!"

Chen Yao didn't think much of it upon hearing this. He nodded, and his gaze was immediately drawn to the vault door not far away, especially the door that was cut out as tall as a person. He immediately became interested.

"Is this the little treasury you mentioned before?" Although Chen Yao was very curious, he did not go forward to take a look.

Su Chen, the host, hadn't even gone to see him yet, so how could the guest not know the rules, even if the two were very close?

Su Chen nodded slightly and said, "That's right, this is the Bai family's secret stash. They say it contains dozens of tons of gold!"

"Gold? And tens of tons? My goodness!" Even with Chen Yao's composure, his voice unconsciously rose several octaves upon hearing this.

Seeing the shocked look on Chen Yao's face, Su Chen smiled slightly and nodded towards the vault, saying, "Let's go in and see what it's like!"

After saying that, Su Chen stepped into the small door above the vault, and Chen Yao and the others followed him in.

The treasury was pitch black. Only near the small door could a sliver of light from outside shine in, allowing a slightly blurry view of the surrounding area within two or three meters.

The skeleton then stepped out from the crowd, took out his tactical flashlight, and quickly located the switch.

"Slap~ slap~ slap!"

The moment the vault lights came on, beams of golden light dazzled Su Chen and the others, making it difficult for them to open their eyes.

"Holy crap!" After recovering, Chen Yao saw several small mountains made of identical gold bricks in front of him and exclaimed in disbelief again.

Knowing that there are tens of tons of gold and seeing tens of tons of gold with your own eyes are worlds apart. The visual impact of seeing nothing but gold is simply too shocking!

After a brief moment of shock, Chen Yao noticed that Su Chen beside him wasn't too surprised. His face still held the same faint smile as before, as did Chen Fei, Skeleton, and the others.

The skeletons and the others were fine, after all, they were the ones who discovered this little treasure trove and were already used to it. But how could Su Chen and Chen Fei not change at all? Even if Su Chen's mentality was stable, what about Chen Fei?
"Old Su~ What's going on? Why do you and Chen Fei look so expressionless? Could it be that these tens of tons of gold don't interest you at all?" Unable to contain his curiosity, Chen Yao finally asked.

"Hahaha~" Su Chen chuckled, then turned to look at Chen Fei beside him and said, "Fei~ explain to Brother Yao what's going on!"

After saying that, he led the skeleton and the ghost toward the back of the vault, leaving Chen Yao completely bewildered.

Coming to his senses, Chen Yao turned to look at Chen Fei without saying a word, but his meaning was quite clear.

"Ahem~" Seeing Chen Yao's questioning gaze, Chen Fei immediately coughed strategically before smiling and explaining, "Brother Yao~ The reason why the boss and I didn't have any expressions is because in the boss's courtyard house, there is a wall made of gold bricks, which is slightly larger than this!"

As Xiao Chen's No. 1 in the training camp, Chen Fei had a pretty good relationship with Chen Yao and the others. They didn't address each other with titles like "Young Master Chen" or "Young Master Jiang," but just like they called Xiao Chen "Boss" and Chen Yao and the others "Brother," so they were not too reserved when they spoke to each other.

"A courtyard house? You mean the one in Shichahai? How come I didn't know Old Su had such a golden wall?" He had been there many times and knew the layout of the courtyard house well.

Hearing this, Chen Fei smiled awkwardly, "Uh~ This is a gold treasure map that the boss and Boss Xiao accidentally obtained when they went to the Russian ranch. It was later found by our people, and there are as many as fifty tons of gold in it!"

"If you calculate the time, it's just shortly after Brother Yao and your Brother Yang left the capital. It's normal that you didn't know!" After saying that, Chen Fei deliberately observed Chen Yao's expression. Seeing that his brows were furrowed, the corners of his mouth subconsciously curled up.

As luck would have it, Chen Yao caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye, and immediately got a kick in the butt from Chen Fei. "You little rascal, Chen Fei, how dare you tease your brother Yao! When we get back to the capital, I'm going to drag you to the training camp in the mountains for a couple of days. Your brothers miss you terribly!"

Chen Fei naturally knew that Chen Yao was joking. He patted his butt, which had been kicked twice, and immediately ran towards Su Chen and the others' house, saying politely, "Brother Yao, there are more good things behind us. Let's go and take a look."

Before Chen Yao could react, Chen Fei dashed to the back of the vault.

"This guy," Chen Yao shook his head with a smile, and quickly followed after him.

As you approach, you'll see Su Chen squatting in front of a pile of boxes, wearing a pair of white gloves he's found somewhere, carefully taking out a scroll from one of the boxes. It looks like a painting or calligraphy.

As Su Chen slowly unfurled the painting, a lifelike tiger appeared before everyone's eyes.

"This...this is Tang Yin's 'Tiger Roaring in the Mountains'?" Su Chen immediately recognized the signature on the painting and exclaimed instinctively. Su Chen did know something about this painting, but not the original. After all, he had never seen it online. He had seen a funny version of Tang Yin's "Tiger Roaring in the Mountains" drawn by a netizen, and unexpectedly, it became an instant hit online.

This painting has been jokingly referred to by netizens as the authentic work of "Tang Bohu"!

"No way, is it really a genuine Tang Yin work?" Chen Yao immediately walked to Su Chen's side and carefully examined it.

Chen Yao has some experience in calligraphy and painting, although he is not very proficient, but some flaws can still be seen.

But after carefully examining the Tiger Roaring in the Forest painting in Su Chen's hand, he had only one thought in his mind: this painting was an authentic work by Tang Yin.

“It should be real!” Su Chen said thoughtfully. “Think about it, given the Bai family’s resources, they wouldn’t keep counterfeit goods in a secret stash, would they? Let’s have a professional check it again when we get back to the capital!”

Chen Yao nodded and gestured for Su Chen to put the painting away. If it was genuine, its value would be immeasurable. After all, there were only about a hundred of Tang Bohu's surviving works, which were collected in museums in seven or eight countries around the world.

As for the market, finding a genuine piece is harder than finding a needle in a haystack!
They looked at the contents of the other boxes, which contained calligraphy, paintings, and porcelain. Su Chen and Chen Yao examined them carefully for a while but couldn't recognize many of them. However, they knew the value of these items and carefully put them back in their original places.

He specifically instructed the skeleton and Chen Fei to keep it safe and transport it back together later.

"Buzz buzz buzz~" Just as Su Chen put a piece of Ru porcelain back into the box, the phone that Chen Yao had given him earlier started vibrating.

Upon taking it out, Su Chen saw that it was a highly encrypted call from Old Master Xiao. He immediately said, "I'm going out to take this call," and quickly walked out of the treasury.

How could Chen Yao possibly miss this call? He immediately took off and chased after him, while Chen Fei, Skull, and the others remained where they were, without moving an inch.

"Hello~ Grandpa, what important things do you need me to do?" Su Chen asked with a smile as soon as he answered the phone.

Immediately, Grandpa Xiao's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone, "You rascal, you're getting bolder and bolder, even joking with this old man!"

But the next second, Grandpa Xiao's tone turned serious, "Xiao Chen, to make a long story short, we even arranged for a satellite to pass over you for this call, we only have three minutes!"

Hearing this, Su Chen's expression turned serious. "Grandpa, tell me, what good plans do you have?"

"We're going to take advantage of the chaos!" Old Master Xiao's voice came through the encrypted channel, his tone tinged with seriousness.

“I heard from Chen Yao’s report that you have a submarine under your command, and coincidentally, we have a squad of street thugs patrolling near the central Pacific Ocean, not far from where you are!”

"We plan to have you install that experimental machine in the submarine, then silently arrive at the agreed location, where you will blend in with the fleet and return home together!"

After listening to Old Master Xiao's plan, Su Chen was surprised, because the plan was indeed highly feasible!
The experimental machine wasn't very big; it could easily fit into the submarine's storage compartment. Although the storage compartment wasn't very large, it was more than enough to hold an engine!
Su Chen thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement, "That's fine, but Grandpa, you need to confirm the time and place of the plan. If there are any mistakes, the consequences are not what we want to see!"

"Don't worry about that. I'll contact you through the Beidou system once the details of the plan are finalized. I'll send you the detailed plan by noon tomorrow at the latest. Okay, it's about time, I'll hang up now!" After saying that, Grandpa Xiao hung up the phone without waiting for Su Chen's reaction.

Su Chen stared at the disconnected phone, smacked his lips, and didn't know what to say.

"Old Su, what did the old man say?" Chen Yao walked over and gently touched Su Chen's shoulder.

Su Chen immediately snapped out of his daze and repeated what the old man had said to Chen Yao. To his surprise, Chen Yao slapped his thigh excitedly and laughed, "Hahaha~ I told you my plan would work! I didn't expect it to actually be adopted!"

"Huh?" Su Chen's face immediately lit up with a series of question marks as he looked at Chen Yao in surprise and asked, "Using a submarine to transport the experimental aircraft was your plan?"

"Absolutely! Otherwise, how could the higher-ups come up with such a reliable plan in such a short time?" Chen Yao raised his head with a hint of pride.

Seemingly noticing the confusion on Su Chen's face, she took the initiative to explain before Su Chen could even ask.

It turns out that when Chen Yao was searching for information on the computer, he unexpectedly discovered detailed disassembly and assembly records related to the testing machine, and even the screws had unique numbers.

This also explains why the Bai family disassembled and transported the experimental machine to this underground research base after discovering it.

Otherwise, given the length of the testing machine, which is only a few meters, the elevator definitely wouldn't be able to fit it, and there are no other passageways here, so how could it possibly be transported in?

This also cleared up Su Chen's doubts. When he saw the experimental machine before, he was wondering how the Bai family managed to bring this thing in.

I never expected it would be done by disassembling it. If you don't have some serious technical skills, you can't put it back together after taking it apart.

"Then you'll be in charge of the engine. Make sure the part numbers are correct, and after disassembling, put it directly into the box. Also..."

Su Chen paused for a moment before continuing, "Try to copy all the data from that computer. You never know, there might be some good stuff that we haven't discovered yet!"

Chen Yao nodded in agreement without hesitation, "Okay~ I'll take care of the engine, but you need to arrange some mechanical experts for me, otherwise, with just me and my assistant, I don't know how long it will take to disassemble it without damage!"

"I'll arrange the personnel!" Su Chen pondered for a moment. He remembered that when the skeleton reported to him before, he mentioned that among the people they brought this time were mechanical elites who were specifically there to check the submarine's performance.

If a submarine can be inspected without any problems, then why can't a test machine be disassembled according to the procedure?

After discussing it further, Chen Yao quickly left the warehouse, intending to get his assistants moving first, while Su Chen went to find the skeleton and asked him to arrange for people to help Chen Yao.

Just as Su Chen reached the small door of the vault, he saw Chen Fei rushing towards him in a panic, "Sir~ we've found something good again!"

"Good stuff? What good stuff? Come on, take me to see!" Su Chen immediately stepped through the small door and followed Chen Fei deeper into the vault. (End of Chapter)
