Ye Suling said: "Although I was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, one day Qiushi suddenly calmed down. As if he remembered something, he suddenly changed his tone and comforted me that I don't need to worry about money anymore.

If things really come to a head, he still has one last trick he can use."

"This tone... sounds a bit unsettling. It's like a final declaration before taking a desperate risk..." Zhang Ke said, and he could somewhat empathize with Ye Suling's mood at that time.

"Yeah, I immediately felt something was wrong, because he had never spoken in such a decisive and calm tone. I immediately asked him what his so-called last resort was, but he kept his mouth shut and kept silent, no matter what I did.

If you ask any more questions, you will never say a word to me again." The expression on Ye Suling's face was obviously bitter:

"In the next three months, although Professor Yuan's wife was seriously ill in bed, he seemed not to be greatly affected. He was still busy with the follow-up mining work of the Chunshen ruins. By the end of the month, the initial stage of the excavation was almost completed.

.However, there are still some structures remaining in the ruins pit. However, considering the age, the underground building structure is already very unstable. He is a little worried that continuing to go too deep will cause chain collapse and destruction, so he asked Tan Ying to stop temporarily.

Dig.”

"The museum reconstruction plan for the Great Wall Exhibition and Convention Center has finally been formally formed and approved, and is ready to be officially opened to the public in mid-June. Naturally, Tan Ying continued her previous mission and became the continuation executor of this project, and has been communicating with us about the exhibits.

and the conditions of the venues. It seems that the entire Chunshen ruins will be available to the public soon."

"Everyone was in high spirits, especially Nangong Xihe who unexpectedly took the initiative to contact the Cultural Relics Bureau and the Great Wall Exhibition, saying that he wanted to donate a precious cultural relic that he had discovered - the spiritual platform Kongming used by the "Qingtian Sect" for sacrifices.

The tripod will be made public to the world on the day it is exhibited!" Ye Suling said.

"Is that tripod very precious? Aren't you all digging at the ruins every day? You dig out many similar cultural relics every day, right?" Zhang Ke asked.

"It's different. What we excavated are nothing more than some items used by the ancients, or texts that recorded some information. However, this Lingtai Kongming Cauldron is a miraculous object that has been recorded in ancient books. The Qingtian Sect regards it as a magic weapon of gods.

It is the same precious treasure. It is said that many of the evil magic and secret techniques they use to deceive the people are also accomplished by this cauldron." Ye Suling explained:

"Of course I don't believe that there is really any magic weapon, but there must be something special about that tripod. If the authentic one can be found, it will be of great archaeological significance, historical significance and cultural significance - so Nangong's move makes all of us

Everyone was astonished. This was the first time I heard that he discovered this precious cultural relic at the Chunshen ruins. This was undoubtedly a great achievement, so except Yuan Qiushi, who had been absent from school for a long time, all of us admired him very much.

"

"However, you were probably not in the mood to party with everyone at that time, right?" Zhang Ke said, "Apart from Yuan Qiushi himself, I'm afraid you were the one who was most worried at that time."

"Oh - yes, especially Qiushi's actions during that time became more and more mysterious, and he became more and more unwilling to let others discover. In the end, even the communication with me was reduced to the minimum. I noticed the abnormality,

So I quietly checked his computer, and actually found records of visiting the cultural relics black market on the dark web -" At this point, Ye Suling's expression became a little distressed.

"The dark web of the black market for cultural relics... Is he planning to secretly sell some cultural relics in order to raise money for his mother's transplant surgery? Because of his status, he does have access to many first-hand cultural relics." Zhang Ke

said.

"That's what I guessed at the time, but in fact, according to the list provided by the professor's assistant, not a single cultural relic is missing from the ruins. Moreover, starting from the later period of Qiushi, fishing took almost three days and drying nets took two days. In order to facilitate the care of the city center,

She is a mother in the hospital, so she rarely goes all the way to the excavation site, and has almost no chance of committing crimes." Ye Suling replied.

"However, since we have the visit records there, it means that he has indeed thought about this." Zhang Ke added.

"Well, although I can completely understand his difficulties and the helplessness of having to find ways to go astray, I absolutely cannot watch him go further and further down the wrong path of crime, and I don't want him to become the person I hate the most.

That kind of person. So I secretly made a decision in my heart, not only to investigate the specific situation and prevent the unjust acts he might commit, but also to help him find a way to save his mother and raise enough money for the operation."

"It's not easy. Counting the time for skipping a grade, you were only just over twenty at that time." Zhang Ke sighed with emotion.

"Yes, I was at a loss at that time, but the museum was about to open. I had a hunch in my heart that the only chance Qiushi had left now was to rely on his status as Professor Yuan's student to get in before it was officially opened to the public.

Open the museum to steal a cultural relic that is of high enough value and will soon be acquired by someone on the black market."

"And at this moment, a very unfamiliar number suddenly sent me a message: The above content is that in the early morning of the day when the museum opens, thieves will steal the Lingtai Kong Mingding. And its signature is xXx

, three Akers, with a capital letter in the middle, no clues about who the person is."

"If it were in the past, I would have thought it was someone's prank and deleted the text message immediately. But at that time, I was worried about Yuan Qiushi's recent mysterious actions, so I was like a frightened bird. And once the Lingtai Kongmingding was sold

, you can indeed get an astronomical asking price, which is more than enough for a hundred kidney transplants."

"More importantly, the value of this item is so high in all aspects. Once it is sold on the black market, it will definitely not be worthless. Instead, there will be a large group of people vying for it, and the seller can receive it almost immediately.

Cash, unlike some other cultural relics, may take a long time to wait for a buyer who needs it - this is almost the best choice for Qiushi who is in urgent need of surgery fees."

"If the so-called thief is really Yuan Qiushi, that is really bad news." Zhang Ke murmured.

"Yes, this is the first time in my life that I, who have always been competitive and thought I had no difficulties to overcome, felt powerless and confused. But in the end - I still made up my mind to find out about this matter.
