Mei Qian was very surprised that Professor Mao suddenly came as a guest with video materials that were absolutely impossible to obtain from the outside world.
Although, when the news about the Ancient Western Region and Baishan was exposed, Mei Qian was mentally prepared for the archaeological community to contact him, but he did not expect it to be in this way.
What is even more unexpected is that this time, Professor Mao's purpose seems to be very simple, just to let him see the underground structure and layout of Baishan and the ancient Western Regions through video. He did not say a single extra word. Regarding his habitual sophistry,
, he just responded with a faint smile, as if he didn't take it to heart at all.
He was still gentle towards Mei Qian, and even his eyes still showed the same appreciation as before.
But there is no need to go through the edicts and win-overs that had to be done every time they met in the past.
These slight differences did not affect the communication between the two.
However, both Professor Mao as a guest and Mei Qian as the host were extremely polite to each other, and even laughed out loud several times during the conversation.
When they parted, Mei Qian even more diligently sent him downstairs. He watched the other party drive away with his own eyes, and then drove alone towards the forest park in the suburbs.
Until he arrived at his destination, Mei Qian's face remained neither sad nor happy, and was strangely calm.
He found a secret location, made sure that no one was following him, and that there were leaves in the sky to cover him. Then he took out a shovel from the warehouse and summoned the system panel again in his mind.

——
Mei Qian has a great advantage. He has a very good temper. Even if he gets angry, it goes away as quickly as it comes. He never holds grudges.
No, in the evening, Ning Chi, who had been shopping outside, came back with a three-pound grass carp, only to find that his boss took the initiative to cook, which was very rare, and made several hard dishes, and was waiting with a smile.
It seemed that the person who was so angry that he gritted his teeth and threw the cup at noon was not him at all.
However, such a friendly and beautiful atmosphere made Ning Chi even more uncomfortable. The meal was tasteless, the wine was not drunk, and he became extra careful in doing things.
How careful should you be?
When I finished brushing, it was so gentle and meticulous that not even the sound of the dishes clattering was heard.
I stopped playing games after dinner, and stopped turning on the TV. I just curled up on the sofa and clicked on my cell phone, looking extremely honest.
From time to time, he glanced at Mei Qian, who was watching short videos on the recliner, and a worried look flashed in his eyes.
Mei Qian naturally didn't know that her assistant was worried that her boss would be mad and secretly communicated with a psychiatrist.
He yawned, put down his cell phone, turned his head, and met a pair of searching eyes. The corners of Mei Qian's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
How could he not know that his current state seemed very unreasonable.
But who let me encounter too many things today?
First, I heard that someone wanted to burn him to death. Although he had a dangerous instinct, he would definitely not be put in danger. He would definitely be angry.
Then Professor Mao arrived. Although he didn't say anything, the other party's behavior was enough to convey some not-so-good information to him.
Then, after collecting a few useless antiques, even though the popularity level had bottomed out, the dog system was still able to be upgraded.
I don’t know if it’s not popular enough, but this upgrade will take five days.
So many things came together at once, which made his head hurt when he thought about it. So much so that he was confused all afternoon and could only find something else to do to divert his energy.
The most important one is of course the system upgrade. I don’t know what effect this upgrade will achieve after the Qin Emperor’s Mausoleum is finished.
Then someone killed him. This was not the first time that he had encountered this kind of thing. There were so many people who wanted him to die, so who were these people?
Besides, he is waiting for news from the police. He doesn't even know who paid for the murder. Even if he wants to take revenge, he can't find the target for the time being, right?
As for the change in attitude of the Archaeological Bureau, he was least concerned about it.
At most, he found something unfavorable to him in the tomb, causing the other party to completely give up the recruitment plan.
Since the police did not come to the door immediately, it meant that the worst outcome he had expected did not occur, so there was nothing to worry about. He was used to it anyway.
So, at this time, he calmed down. Seeing Ning Chi's cautious state, he also knew that his little brother was scared, so he planned to find a topic to liven up the atmosphere, but before he could speak, the phone lying on his chest was
At this time, the beep sounded again.
I picked it up out of habit and looked at it, and I couldn't help but feel shocked.
This was a text message without a sending number. The first thing I saw was a picture of a crabapple flower.
[Be careful lately. I heard that someone abroad spent 20 million US dollars to make trouble for you. I don’t know what the purpose is.]
Mei Qian couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: [You were late in notifying me, my house was burned down.]
[Did they do it? Just to burn down your villa? Nothing was lost? 】
The reply was very quick and the word villa was directly mentioned. However, Mei Qian was not surprised, because the incident of his home being stolen made headlines, but it was not clear to the outside world that it was arson.
[If I hadn’t happened to leave, I would have been burned to death. Well, the loss was huge, but the important things were not lost.] After thinking about it, he still answered.
[No matter what, you still have to be careful. Maybe the person who burned your villa is not the group I mentioned! If you spend so much money, you won’t just burn down the house, right? 】
After this text message, a while later, Zhao Jun on the other side actually sent another one.
[I will help you keep an eye on it, wait for my news...]
Seeing this, Mei Qian's eyes narrowed slightly.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Jun was so warm-hearted, and his words seemed very friendly.
It’s just unclear whether this kind of closeness is a genuine show of goodwill or a continuation of the other party’s undercover work!
However, what the other party said made sense, and he needed to ask carefully.
Thinking of this, regardless of how late it was, he dialed Qiao Mu's number.
The first time no one answered the call, he didn't care and pressed redial.
After being hung up on for the second time, Mei Qian couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and continued to call.
Finally, after the fifth call, a gritted voice came from the phone: "Teacher Mei, please, what can I do for you?"
Mei Qian's ears twitched and she couldn't help but grin when she heard a woman complaining in the background.
But he didn't feel any guilt at all and asked directly: "I want to ask, to what extent are your police investigating arson cases?"
"Didn't I give you news?" Qiao Mu sighed longly: "Those people are hired killers. So far, we have only found a middleman, and the man behind the scenes is still under investigation."
"Is it an order placed abroad?" Mei Qian suddenly asked again.
"Yes, otherwise the investigation would not be so difficult." Qiao Mu said: "I have contacted Interpol and they will cooperate. Don't worry too much."
"I would like to ask, are the killers from the Xia Kingdom? If they succeed, how much money will they get?" Mei Qian thought for a while and felt that she should confirm it.
"Of course the killer is from China, and he is a twin brother. He has done several cases before. Because he is careful, he has never exposed his feet. The broker is from South Asia. Isn't he going to hold an expo recently? Foreign killers can't get in at all, so the other party is looking for them.
Xia people. As for the money..." After being silent for a while, Qiao Mu continued: "The killer will get one million US dollars after he succeeds, but the broker will take the order of two million US dollars. Maybe the money is too little, only these two
A guy who thinks he's a high-tech criminal genius takes the order."
Mei Qian: "..."
For some reason, he suddenly wasn't so angry about the fact that someone was trying to kill him...
PS: No sun, because I lay down for more than ten days, with the cat as my companion, and didn’t go out at all.
