After completing the procedures and retrieving Uncle Jin's belongings from the bank vault, Ouyang Jie did not open them immediately.
Before leaving, Zhong Luoyue had booked Ouyang Jie a very good hotel suite nearby. Although this arrangement was meaningless to Ouyang Jie, who had been left behind, it was better than nothing.
Besides, although the hotel was excellent, it naturally could not compare with the hotels under the Song Dynasty. However, considering the relationship between Song Ying and Zhong Luoyue, Ouyang Jie had nothing to say about it.
It was all in the name of recuperation.
It was a resort-style hotel near the seaside.
Ouyang Jie had drawn all the curtains in the room before opening the item Uncle Jin had left in the bank vault: a box.
But there was no key. It was a combination-lock box. Looking at the string of numbers on the lock, Ouyang Jie could not help feeling troubled... The box looked specially made, and it did not seem easy to open by force.
He was afraid that if he really forced it open, the contents inside might also be damaged.
Ouyang Jie unconsciously bit his finger. This was something Uncle Jin had left for him, but Uncle Jin had never given him any hint about the password.
In other words, the password was very likely something Ouyang Jie already knew, or something connected to Ouyang Jie and Uncle Jin.
Ouyang Jie's heart stirred. He quickly entered a sequence of numbers—the date of the day Uncle Jin had rescued him after he left the orphanage. The number of digits in the date happened to match the number required by the lock.
"YES!"
As the combination lock clicked open, Ouyang Jie instinctively clenched his fist. He let out a breath and began carefully opening the box.
