Chapter 94

Huo Shao Ting's eyes darkened, and he immediately walked over to look at the two characters translated on the computer.

Why was her name on the jade pendant?

"This is what I've been researching for most of my life. I have found quite a few relevant records all over the country. Mr. Huo, please take a look..."

Huang the expert did not notice his change of expression and showed him some of the related cultural relics he had found before on his computer.

"The place where these two characters are carved is very hidden, but the device can detect it. I have studied their texts for a long time. It's just a pity that I have studied it for so many years, China's profound history and culture, these texts are only scattered ones, and there are only a hundred or so words."

"There are no historical records about this dynasty, but some of the cultural relics from its historical periods are very exquisite, integrating the prosperous cultures of many Chinese dynasties. I did have some discoveries on the official seal of a piece of celadon before."

"Mr. Huo, please take a look. Although the words on this official seal are blurred, after scanning and correction with instruments, and sorting them out, they can be translated as the Shangyuan Empire. There are no documents recording this era in China's history, and this dynasty has integrated too many things, making it impossible to determine its actual founding time."

Huang talked eloquently, not forgetting to push his glasses up his nose, looking at the ink jade in the box with burning eyes.

The five thousand years of Chinese civilization did not have every period recorded, some disappeared without a trace, like dust, only some sporadic cultural relics prove they once existed.

Huo Shao Ting looked thoughtful as he gazed at the ink jade. He did not expect this piece of jade he spent 100 million to buy to have such an origin.

Zhang, the assistant, listened in confusion. Pointing at the ink jade, he asked Huang, "Mr. Huang, I didn't understand what you meant. Is this thing Chinese or not?"

Huang pushed his glasses again, looked up at him, and said seriously and solemnly, "To be precise, this Shangyuan Empire did not exist in our current space-time. It existed in a certain spatial dimension and coincided with our space at a certain point in time, so it left these things behind. That's why we can't verify its complete historical sites."

Zhang was astonished at this. It was like nothing had been said.

He simply shut up. As long as the president could understand it, it was fine.

"If I fund your research into these things, can you get me some more valuable stuff?"

Huo Shao Ting leaned back on the sofa with his long legs crossed.

His wife had many secrets, and he wanted to understand her. This ink jade made him inexplicably uneasy for some reason.

As soon as Huang heard this, his eyes lit up immediately.

Over the years, he had searched all over the country for the history of this Shangyuan Empire, but with limited funding, he could only find very limited things.

"Of course!"

"What if I ask you to keep confidential all the information you investigate? According to your statement, this Shangyuan Empire is actually a dynasty that never existed and cannot be written into history, right?"

Huo Shao Ting asked back. His money was not so easy to get.

Huang hesitated. He had spent so much effort on this and wanted to give people a chance to understand the world.

But if he refused Huo Shao Ting, this "non-existent" history would be submerged. If he agreed, this history would not see the light of day.

Seeing his hesitation, Huo Shao Ting stood up from the sofa. His office was huge. He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the view of Shenjing.

"Mr. Huang, you must know that a history that has never existed, even if you have sorted it out and found some evidence. But if you tell people that this history came from another space-time..."

"Will people think of you as a genius or a madman?"

He turned to look at him, his eyes sharp, unconsciously exerting pressure.

No matter what this history was, no matter which space-time it came from, or how it coincided with their world.

All he wanted to know was the origin of this ink jade, and what connection it and its owner had with his wife.

If such coincidences of space-time could occur under certain circumstances, would such situations continue to appear in the future?

He was more and more certain now that his wife was probably not the same person as the former Yandai, or it could be said that they were two different souls.

The change was too great, with many strange things that could not be explained.

Especially what happened last night, which made him feel this way more and more clearly. 𝚏r𝗲ewe𝚋𝐧𝚘vel.𝚌𝚘m

The drawer clearly contained what she needed, but from last night's situation, she did not seem to know.

If he could not get a very definite answer to this matter, he would feel uneasy.

After listening to his words, Huang's face turned slightly pale. Finally, he lowered his head in frustration for several minutes.

"If that's the case, how much is Mr. Huo willing to fund?"

He was actually being wishful thinking, but the origin of this Shangyuan Empire was too bizarre. First, archaeologists had no way to determine which dynasty it was exactly.

Second, this involved other disciplines, the span was too large, and with these fragmentary things, it was really impossible to prove.

"50 million yuan, and if more compelling evidence can be found, the funding can be increased." Huo Shao Ting's voice was light.

Huang took a deep breath and nodded in agreement.

As he was packing up and about to leave, he suddenly asked Huo Shao Ting, "Mr. Huo, why are you interested in this? Huo Group is not involved in these things."

"Mr. Huang, if I were you, I wouldn't be interested in my employer's affairs." Huo Shao Ting glanced at him coldly, then motioned for Zhang the assistant to escort the man out.

After Zhang escorted the man away, Huo Shao Ting sat in his office with his brows slightly furrowed. He hoped Yandai would tell him the truth.

But he couldn't force her either. As the head of a huge enterprise like Huo Group, he was perceptive enough to sense that Yandai was still guarded against him.
