182: He's just a 'tomb raider' with a government certificate.
"Whose is it then? If it's not yours and not mine, whose could it be?"
The woman said, startled.
Old Man Li finally focused his gaze on the other man. The man had bright eyes and white teeth, looking feminine, and seeing both of them staring at him, he quickly waved his hands.
"You don't think these are my people, do you? Am I that kind of person? Besides, I'm a Fortune Teller, not a Tomb Robber. What would I do with those Cultural Relics?"
"Also, look closely at the pattern on the back of their hands. I saw a Wolf Head pattern on them."
"If I remember correctly, the Wang Family uses this pattern."
"You must know what bad things they've been doing in our name all these years, right?"
The man spoke calmly, picking up the teacup beside him and taking a sip.
The woman and Old Man Li both fell silent after hearing the man's words. If that was the case...
The Wang Family likely had a great chance of making a move.
The woman put down the Nail Clipper in her hand. "Even if it wasn't the Wang Family who made the move, they definitely cast a shadow. Ye Bai and the others are in trouble now."
"Do you think Ye Bai can solve this problem? I'm very worried."
Old Man Li picked up his teacup and took a big gulp, a flash of light crossing his eyes. "If it were that person, he could solve it. As for Ye Bai... let's wait and see."
"The Wang Family's reach is too long. We need to clean things up when we have time."
"It's easy for you to say. How do we clean them up? These people hide in the darkness; no one can easily find them. We can't even locate them." The woman rested her chin on one hand, a nostalgic look in her eyes.
"Stop thinking about Zhang Qilin. No one knows where he is now. Maybe he's dead, or maybe he's gone to do something secretive."
The man chuckled as he saw the woman's expression.
A hint of sadness flashed in the woman's eyes. Finally, she took a deep breath, occasionally glancing toward the Live Stream Room.
"Old Man Li, are your people also there? Why haven't they shown up yet? I don't believe you would just let them run wild here."
The woman tapped her finger on her delicate face.
"They will naturally make a move when the time is right. Don't worry."
A cold glint flashed in Old Man Li's eyes.
The man and the woman waited there curiously for him to continue, exchanging a glance as if they knew some secret.
Inside the Villa.
When the Xie Family Member saw this scene, he felt a bit panicked.
He quickly pulled out his phone and dialed a number.
"What's going on? Where are your people?"
"How could other Tomb Robbers steal from you?"
The person on the other end didn't know what to say, and the Xie Family Head's face was extremely grim.
"Isn't the Wang Family's property in This City? Destroy it immediately."
"Also, immediately tell our people to find Ye Bai and the others as quickly as possible. Ye Bai must not be harmed."
After the Xie Family Head finished speaking, he hung up the phone immediately.
His eyes were filled with worry as he looked at Ye Bai and the others.
"Wang Family..."
"Do you insist on opposing us?"
The Xie Family Head said through gritted teeth.
Inside the Tomb.
Ye Bai looked at the leading Tomb Robber, who had a scar running from his eye to his mouth, looking like a huge Centipede crawling across his face, utterly terrifying.
The muzzle of the gun in his hand was still pointed at Ye Bai.
Wu Jing and Yang Mi stood together.
Meng Ziyi, Reba, and Yang Chaoyue stood behind Ye Bai.
Thinking of the two Tomb Robbers who were eaten by tigers in the Forbidden Ground, they couldn't help but tremble.
"Ye Bai, what should we do?"
Reba's hand tightly clutched Ye Bai's clothing, and her body was still trembling.
Ye Bai ignored her, instead staring at the Head Tomb Robber standing opposite him.
"You certainly have good luck with women. So many Female Celebrities favor you, Ye Bai, you truly are impressive."
Scarface looked at the women—Yang Mi and Reba among them—standing behind Ye Bai, and gave a lewd smile.
"What do you want?"
Captain Zhao watched them warily, not waiting for Ye Bai to speak.
"We are only here for wealth, not murder. I'll give you a chance: leave this Tomb immediately, or I will kill you all."
"These Cultural Relics can only be ours."
Scarface's face was filled with greed.
"Those are national Cultural Relics; we cannot give them to you."
When Professor Wang heard this, he instantly refused. He could not hand over the Cultural Relics to these Tomb Robbers.
Scarface couldn't help but sneer upon hearing this.
He then walked up to Professor Wang with a smile and reached out to grab his collar.
"What are you doing?"
When the team members saw Professor Wang being bullied, they stepped forward to stop it.
But they were immediately pushed aside by the Tomb Robbers nearby.
Scarface suddenly released his collar, lightly patted his chest with his hand, and even tidied his clothes for him.
"The nation? What do you gain by handing them over to the nation? They'll just be put in a Museum for exhibition, useless for eating or spending. It would be better to sell them so they can serve their greatest purpose."
"It's perfectly justifiable for Cultural Relics to support the people of Great Xia."
"You call us Tomb Robbers, but what about you? You are just taking state permits to steal from other people's Tombs. Did you ask the Tomb's owner? You call us grave robbers, but aren't you the same?"
After Scarface finished speaking, he picked up a Pistol and pointed the muzzle at Professor Wang.
"I really want to know what it feels like to shoot the head of an Internationally Renowned Professor."
"Will your head be harder than others?"
"No!"
"Professor!"
The Archaeological Team Members were all extremely anxious upon hearing this.
Professor Wang took a deep breath, his breathing becoming slightly ragged.
"I can die, but you cannot touch the Cultural Relics of Great Xia."
Professor Wang was ready to defend the Cultural Relics to the death; there was no doubt about it.
"Fine! Then I'll grant your wish."
Scarface smiled, his finger already touching the Trigger.
"Ye Bai, what should we do? Save Professor Wang!!"
When Yang Mi saw this, she quickly looked at Ye Bai.
Professor Wang couldn't die. If he died, the Archaeological Field would lose a talent.
Moreover, Professor Wang was highly respected and defended Cultural Relics to the death. Such a person absolutely could not die.
Ye Bai ignored Yang Mi and looked toward the entrance, a dark glint flashing in his eyes.
But internally, he was cursing.
You guys are truly hateful, hurry up and get over here!
Inside the Live Stream Room.
[Holy crap! No! Don't touch my professor, stop it!!]
[That's our professor! You can take the Cultural Relics, but don't cause a death!!]
[Damn! That's so moving. He still remembers to protect the Cultural Relics at a time like this. I feel so inadequate; the gap between me and Professor Wang is huge.]
[Little Brother Ye Bai, save the professor! Don't let the professor die!!]
[Ye Bai! Help!!]
[Strange, what is Ye Bai looking at?]
