Chapter 590: 590 Discovery
When the six of them began to move, she turned around and walked over again.
"Boss, she’s back again."
"Be careful, try to stop her, but don’t cause any trouble."
"Got it." Fang Dayong was a little excited. He had a fondness for women, but it was always just talk or thoughts; he had never actually acted on it.
The boss, Wei Guangxiang, continued to lead the remaining four people,
The surface soil layer hadn’t been cleaned yet. They intended to open a stone on the side to get in.
Yuanyuan watched them work; they seemed to be really experienced, their division of labor was particularly clear. They were just feeling their way along the stone.
She thought they must be searching for stone seams. Their technique was very skillful. They were getting closer. When someone suddenly reached out to cover her, she sidestepped and turned away.
Fang Dayong didn’t expect to miss his chance. He was a bit nervous, afraid she would raise the alarm because he knew some influential people had come this time.
Su Yuanyuan had lost her patience with the man who had been too rough.
"Someone’s here."
In the silent night, her voice was incredibly penetrating.
Just as Wei Guangxiang was thinking of prying open a stone, he sighed.
"Retreat."
"Boss."
The other four saw that their boss hadn’t even packed up; he just turned and ran, heading in Fang Dayong’s direction.
Yuanyuan knew someone was coming up behind her. She didn’t try to be a hero, mainly because she was self-aware.
So she ran in the opposite direction. By then, two more groups had surrounded the area.
Wei Guangxiang aimed to rescue the fourth member, so when he saw the woman running, the rest scattered as well.
Some wanted to pursue, but Su Yuanyuan stopped them.
"No need, just continue patrolling.
Also, there are tools over there; get someone to bring them back."
Wei Guangxiang and his group hadn’t left. They ran a distance but weren’t pursued, so they quietly snuck back.
"Boss, I didn’t expect that woman to be the leader," Meng Songhua said, frustrated.
"Yeah, didn’t see that coming," sighed the third member, Ren Lijun.
They had originally studied this tomb for a long time but hadn’t expected the authorities to catch the Zeng Family.
They knew some people from the Zeng Family, and weren’t sure if it was the Zeng Family’s bad luck or theirs for getting caught.
By then, Fang Dayong had caught up.
"Boss, it was like that woman knew I was behind her; she evaded so easily. It was incredible."
Wei Guangxiang nodded, "I felt the same way. As you tangled, I ran toward you all, yet she dodged aside."
Both were quite puzzled. But this time, they failed.
"Boss, it’ll be too difficult to get in again."
Wei Guangxiang nodded; it was indeed true; in fact, he wanted to go inside to see if the young master was there.
They had checked for many years and finally locked onto this place, didn’t expect it to be all for naught now. Really very unwilling.
"Boss, if it doesn’t work, we might as well appear openly. I’ve said it before; my uncle can arrange for them to let us in," said Fan Lijing.
They all knew the boss had been looking for the young master’s whereabouts for many years.
Now, there’s no other way, can only try this method.
"We haven’t even used our tools yet," Fang Jianqing mumbled.
All six were quite depressed, weren’t they? Those tools they specially commissioned to be made, hadn’t even used them, left them behind here.
Su Yuanyuan kept watching their direction.
"Boss, doesn’t it seem like the woman knows we’re here?" Fang Dayong said in fear.
"Yeah, it’s like she was watching us."
"Let’s go." Wei Guangxiang also had the same feeling.
After they left, Yuanyuan finally turned around.
Shao Hongming had also arrived. "How did it go?"
"There should have been several people. They ran."
"Forget it, leave it like that. Go back to rest, I’ll take over."
"No need, you go rest; I’ll handle it. There shouldn’t be any more visitors.
Brought back a set of tools. I had them taken away."
Shao Hongming didn’t rest, instead, after separating from Yuanyuan, they patrolled from two different directions.
Only the next day did everyone know someone tried to take advantage of yesterday night. The two scientists were quite anxious.
"Yuanyuan, how did you discover them at that time?" Zeng Hongling curiously asked.
"I just felt something was off. So I went over, and wasn’t scared."
"You’ve got guts. I wouldn’t dare go out at night; goodness, it’s still a graveyard, no?"
Yuanyuan looked speechlessly at the girl, "You’re practically entering the Tomb Raider Captain field, how could you be afraid of graves?"
"Am I? But I’m really scared. This time, my grandpa insisted I come over."
The archaeologists looked at the set of tools and found them quite handy.
Shao Hongming had them take someone to replicate them.
Yuanyuan found it amusing in her heart. And these are scholars?
"Su Yuanyuan, go take a break." Shao Hongming came over to tell her.
She wasn’t shy about it; after all, what was there to see just watching them work?
They mentioned it last night, no need for them today, afraid they’d ruin something.
"Yuanyuan, I need to go work," Zeng Hongling didn’t want to go, really didn’t want to.
"Should I take your place then?"
"Probably not." The girl sighed as she said it.
Yuanyuan lay alone in the tent reading a book. It was rather boring.
Though nearing noon, she noticed that someone had brought back one of the six people from last night.
My goodness, they’re quite bold, what’s so irresistibly attractive about that tomb?
She didn’t move, but after a while, the person on duty came.
"Leader, the city leader has arrived."
Yuanyuan put down her book and went to the entrance.
Now she could see the six people more clearly. To be honest, they all looked pretty good; one wonders why they chose this line of work.
"Xiao Su."
"Director Tian, what can I do for you?"
"Xiao Su, these are my nephews, they studied archaeology, really curious, wondering if you could help arrange?"
"Director Tian, isn’t this Shao Hongming’s responsibility?"
"Mr. Shao just left for something."
"Alright then, if they’re interested they can stay. But they can’t participate in the inner exploration, just assist outside. Is that okay with you, Director Tian?"
"Fine, fine, just want them to gain some insight, this is the largest tomb found here. Not just them, I’m eager to know too."
"Alright, but you must follow the rules here, if anything happens, you can’t blame me." Su Yuanyuan said very bluntly.
