After Zeng Yichen graduated from college, his parents once again tried to persuade him to join his family's listed company, but he decisively refused.
Regardless of his parents' obstruction, persuasion and even pleading, he found Professor Zhang and asked Professor Zhang to fulfill the promise he made back then.
So Professor Zhang agreed.
From then on, he followed Professor Zhang to visit various ancient tombs. Although he did not major in archeology, he had a wealth of medical knowledge. He would inevitably be injured if he entered the tomb, so he became a very good helper for Professor Zhang.
After following Professor Zhang, his personality became much more normal, but sometimes he still seemed a little careless and didn't like to talk to others.
But gradually, everyone discovered that Zeng Yichen had a bad habit. He would always secretly sneak some artifacts or jewelry into those ancient tombs, and then sell them on the black market. The first one to discover it was Wang
However, since he didn't have many things and he was basically Professor Zhang's adopted son, Wang Li didn't say it out loud and just warned him privately.
Professor Zhang was obsessed with digging and exploring, and did not notice Zeng Yichen's little moves. Slowly, Zeng Yichen's greed became stronger and stronger, until one time, he secretly stole a bead from the mouth of an ancient corpse.
It was dug out and almost caused a corpse transformation.
This time, Zeng Yichen's little move could not be hidden. There was another expert with similar qualifications as Professor Zhang. The expert was very angry and wanted to expel Zeng Yichen from the archaeological research team.
After all, he was the child he had watched grow up. Faced with Zeng Yichen’s confession and plea, Professor Zhang finally softened his heart.
After Professor Zhang severely criticized Zeng Yichen, he spoke kind words to the expert for a long time, ensuring that Zeng Yichen was just obsessed for a while and would never do it again in the future. Only then did the expert promise not to treat this
Report the matter to the organization.
Since that time, Zeng Yichen has indeed restrained himself a lot. Since Professor Zhang chose to forgive him, he chose to believe him and still took him to and from various tombs.
Qian Zhiqi and Wang Li sometimes found that he would still secretly hide some small things, such as a luminous pearl, a jade pendant, etc. These things were actually nothing in the ancient tombs with piles of bright objects, but as archaeologists
Generally speaking, greed for money is a fatal flaw.
In addition to this problem, Yiyi Dust is very righteous at other times. Every time I am out of the mines, they will ask their companions to drink together, not to mention that the tomb is a dangerous job, and it is inevitable that Zeng Yichen has cured each of them for each of them.
They were hurt, so in the end they all chose to turn a blind eye.
Until now, Zeng Yichen has followed Professor Zhang to visit the tomb for almost eight years. Professor Zhang has always trusted him, but he did not expect that something like this would happen.
I sighed, "A person's transformation never happens overnight. He has always followed Professor Zhang to visit the grave with impure motives. I'm afraid there are other reasons for his actions today."
"Do you think it's possible that he has always regarded Professor Zhang as his father, and now that Professor Zhang has recognized Wen Ying, he has a sense of crisis, so he took these actions?" Fu Jie said unexpectedly.
"Probably not. Wen Ying has been with the professor for several years. Although they have never known each other before, the fact that they are father and daughter is no longer a secret in our team. It's just that the professor deceived himself and thought that everyone didn't know.
If he had a sense of crisis, he would have attacked Wen Ying long ago!" Qian Zhiqi decisively overturned Fu Jie's idea.
"No matter what the reason is, the most important thing now is to find a way to rescue Professor Zhang and the others. With how crazy Zeng Yichen is, Professor Zhang and Xu Wenying don't know what they will suffer!" I looked at them and said.
"Yeah, hurry up and find a way to save them. Wen Ying, a girl, was kidnapped by that madman. I'm afraid she will be frightened!" Qian Zhiqi said.
I couldn't help but roll my eyes at him, why does his thinking always differ from others? Right now, it's about the safety of the father and daughter, not whether they will be frightened.
"How are you doing now? Can you still move?" I asked Fu Jie.
Fu Jie nodded, "No problem, I'm much better now! What's more, the three of us can't be separated again!"
I very much agree with this statement.
Our original team of more than a dozen people now has only three people left. Although the others may not be in danger, their whereabouts are completely unknown. If we get separated again, we don't know what danger we will encounter.
"Do you want to eat something first?" I asked Fu Jie.
"Let me drink some water!" Fu Jie said.
I found a bottle of water and a few pills from my backpack and handed them to Fu Jie. Xiao Han stuffed the pills into my backpack. I didn’t know what kind of medicine they were, but he told me that they were very effective in emergency situations.
After Fu Jie swallowed the pills with water, his face turned rosy within a few minutes.
Everything that comes out of Tianshi Mansion is indeed good.
"Thank you, Hu Ling!" Fu Jie said to me sincerely.
I smiled, waved my hand and said, "It's our destiny to be together through life and death together. I'm very happy to meet you as my friend!"
"I found that you are really different from many girls! No wonder Xiao Tianshi and Professor Zhang trust you so much. You don't look like a nineteen-year-old girl at all!" Qian Zhiqi also interjected.
I just smiled and said no more, not knowing what to say.
If I had a choice in life, I also hope that I can sit in a bright classroom at school, make a lot of friends, and have a pair of parents who love me and dote on me.
Unfortunately, such a life may never happen to me in my lifetime.
"Can you still find the tunnel where Professor Zhang and the others went down?" I turned to ask Fu Jie.
Qian Zhiqi and I both looked carefully at this place, and apart from the heavy fallen leaves, we didn't find the stone slab Fu Jie mentioned.
"Remember, it's under that tree!" Fu Jie said, leading Qian Zhiqi and I to the tree where Professor Zhang had marked it.
"Hey, Hu Ling, what is this?" Fu Jie found the mark on the tree and asked me a little strangely.
"Professor Zhang probably said that Zeng Yichen left a mark for us because he didn't pay attention!" I said, "Brother Qian and I only knew that something happened to you when we saw this mark."
"This is impossible!" Fu Jie said with certainty: "At that time, I was hiding and watching them not far away. Zeng Yichen kept holding a knife against Xu Wenying's neck and staring at Professor Zhang digging soil. Professor Zhang will never let you
What a chance to carve this thing!”
"No way?" I looked at Fu Jie strangely, "This mark is a special mark between Professor Zhang and Xiao Tianshi. I only found out about it after listening to Xiao Tianshi tell me about it on the road. It can't be
It just appeared out of thin air, not to mention there is no seventh person here!"
"But Professor Zhang and Xu Wenying have absolutely no chance to carve this thing!" Fu Jie insisted.
The atmosphere suddenly became weird, and I couldn't help but wonder, is there really a fourth person here who is secretly helping us? But since he was helping us, why didn't he show up?
This idea was so unbelievable that I shook my head, "No matter, let's go down first and talk about it first!"
Qian Zhiqi looked at me and hesitantly said: "Hu Ling, do you think it was Zeng Yichen who carved it out himself? His purpose was to lure us all down and catch us all in one go?" This chapter has been completed!
