94: The destruction of cultural relics has shocked all sides.
Professor Guo's gaze swept over his colleagues.
"If something really happens, can your hearts be at ease? Have you forgotten what happened to that Cameraman?"
"Cultural relics are important, but human lives are more important; this is our principle as archaeology professors. Do you want to see your students and colleagues face danger? Who among you can withstand an unknown danger?"
Professor Guo's words made the professors' breath hitch. They hung their heads, seemingly pondering if Professor Guo's words were right.
At this moment, an eerie silence fell over the meeting room.
Over at the Production Team Executives' side, things were exploding.
The director and all those Executives were terrified.
They stared wide-eyed at the big screen, the fiery red light reflecting on their faces, the temperature seemingly scorching their hearts.
Their hearts were currently in agony.
Especially now, the agony was even more intense.
Those were cultural relics. Now that these cultural relics were being burned, what would they do? How would they explain it to the higher-ups?
Is it over? If they mentioned compensation now, would it be accepted?
The director mainly felt like he was caught in the middle. He couldn't afford to offend Ye Bai; if he provoked him and the stars lost their lives, he wouldn't be able to handle it.
But the Archaeology Academy—he couldn't afford to offend them even more!!!
What should he do?
Call the Archaeology Academy?
Express his apologies?
"Director? Do you think there's still a point in continuing this show? Now that the cultural relics are burned, are we just waiting to shut down for good?"
One of the Executives looked at the director in terror.
"It shouldn't come to that, right?"
The director swallowed hard and spoke with a trembling voice.
The other Executives looked at the big screen, all feeling a sense of tension.
Inside the villa.
The elder of the Xie Family couldn't help but smile when he saw Ye Bai's personality.
This kid was really like that person—decisive and reckless.
"You're getting more and more like him. If it weren't for the different face, I'd almost think you were him."
The old man nodded with a chuckle, a hint of sentimentality in his eyes.
Inside another courtyard house.
Boss Li couldn't help but smile.
"Haha!! As expected of Ye Bai. Not only does he look like him, but his personality and way of doing things are also very similar. Not bad, not bad, well done."
"They're just a bunch of clay dolls, nothing good. These Archaeologists really haven't seen the world, actually caring about these things. I'm afraid you'll have the life to take them but not the life to study them!"
Boss Li was extremely disdainful of these people. They looked like cultured people, but in fact, they had no ability at all.
Thinking of this, Boss Li poured himself a cup of tea and took a light sip.
Calculating the time, they should be arriving soon, right?
As for the other Tomb Robbers, they were also arriving soon.
He hoped Ye Bai could face it easily and nothing would happen... Inside the Tomb.
Ye Bai stood at the entrance, staring at the side chamber ignited by the fire. The red flames reflected on his handsome face, making him look even more charming.
Behind him, Zhang Dada, Cai Xukun, Huang Zitao, and Hua Chenyu were all stunned, their minds buzzing.
Now, hearing the heart-wrenching screams from inside, they felt it personally, because they also wanted to let out heart-wrenching screams.
It was over!
They were all finished!
Not only was their career in entertainment gone, but their future was also certain—they were dead meat.
And the culprit was Ye Bai!!
"Ye Bai, are you crazy? If you want to die, don't drag us with you, okay? You burned cultural relics; that's just waiting to die!!"
Cai Xukun's heart was filled with anger. With nowhere to vent his rage, he could only direct it at Ye Bai.
"Ye Bai, couldn't you just hand them over to the Archaeological Team? Why did you do this? If I end up in prison, you're the culprit, do you know that?"
Zhang Dada was also furious, shouting at Ye Bai.
At the thought of possibly going to prison, he was terrified and vented all his fear onto Ye Bai.
Huang Zitao and Hua Chenyu also had no good attitude toward him; if they were ruined in the future, it would all be his fault.
"Shut up, all of you."
"If the Archaeological Team came, would they be safe? If something really happened, it's better to solve those terracotta figurines now. Compared to historical relics, aren't human lives more important?"
Yang Chaoyue couldn't listen to the four men's accusations and insults anymore; her voice was even louder than theirs.
"I think Ye Bai did the right thing. He's so cool!!"
Reba ignored Zhang Dada and the others' angry curses and looked at Ye Bai with a face full of admiration.
He must have done it for the Archaeological Team's sake. If something really happened, it would be difficult to handle.
Taking all the blame on himself.
Now that's a hero!!
"I also think he did the right thing. This is a hero, this is a sense of justice. Compared to death, being blamed is really not a big deal."
Yang Mi looked at Ye Bai with even more intense affection.
Meng Ziyi nodded hastily, looking at Ye Bai with infatuation.
"This is a real man, unlike some people who only think of themselves. If someone died because of these terracotta figurines, wouldn't your conscience hurt?"
After Meng Ziyi finished speaking, she didn't forget to glare fiercely at Zhang Dada and the other three.
Bai Lu and Yang Chaoyue nodded hastily, their eyes filled with admiration for Ye Bai.
Especially Bai Lu, whose face was flushed.
Thinking about how she was with someone like Ye Bai before... she couldn't help but feel her face heating up!!
Ye Bai ignored the conversation behind him and took a deep look at the terracotta figurines in the fire. They had been swallowed by the flames and could no longer make a sound.
Ye Bai thought for a moment, then turned and left.
Seeing Ye Bai leave, Wu Jing also snapped out of his shock.
He looked at Ye Bai's back and fell into silence.
Previously, he thought Ye Bai was just an average civilian, but now it seemed he had been blind. Not only were his skills good, but more importantly, his mindset was impressive.
That kind of decisive personality was something he admitted he couldn't match.
Following him, there would definitely be hope of returning alive.
Seeing Ye Bai leave, Yang Mi, Reba, Meng Ziyi, and the others all followed closely behind.
Before leaving, Meng Ziyi didn't forget to look at Zhang Dada and the others. "Since you have such strong opinions, wouldn't it be better to wait here for the Archaeological Team to arrive before following them in?"
Hearing this, Zhang Dada's face turned red with embarrassment.
Thinking about how he had to rely on Ye Bai to stay alive while also criticizing him, he felt he was losing face.
But the four of them looked at each other, and after a mental struggle, they finally decided to follow.
"I'm doing this to keep an eye on Ye Bai, to make sure he doesn't do anything else illegal. Otherwise, we'll all be dragged down sooner or later."
Cai Xukun found an excuse for himself.
"Heh..."
