Tomb raiding: following the plot while tearing up the script

Xie Yuchen simply made a suggestion; how it will be implemented depends on the decision made by those above.

Being blocked at the exit by Qin Ye and having these conversations was quite unexpected. It wasn't until Xie Yuchen turned around to look at his companions behind him that he realized what was happening.

The chubby Wang Wang, his eyes gleaming as he listened to the gossip, Zhang Qiling, who seemed to be in a daze, and... Su Li, who was dozing off against Hei Xiazi.

No wonder Hei Xiazi was so quiet just now; even with such a big event, this chatterbox didn't say a word.

The group didn't linger. Black Bear scooped up the dazed child with his long arm, carried him on his back, and went down the mountain back to the village.

After resting for a night in A-Gui's small building, the group of people, full of energy, embarked on their journey back to Beijing early the next morning.

Jude Kao has been sent to the base, and the remaining issues here will be handled properly by someone.

The cultural relics that Aning is escorting should arrive in the capital soon, around the same time as their arrival.

………………

In the quiet courtyard, Su Li and two thin little figures were staring at each other.

Looking at the two thin, timid little ones in front of her, Su Li's face scrunched up like a bun.

How could you be so inhumane? Why did you leave me with those two babies?!

These two cubs in front of me...

The larger one had a big head and a small body, and was so thin that it was skin and bones and almost unrecognizable. It wore earplugs and looked like it had been picked up from a refugee camp.

Although Jie Qi had washed the child clean and changed all his clothes, his thin arms and legs couldn't be healed in a short time.

Those skinny arms and legs looked like they could be broken with a single blow.

The smaller one, while not as frighteningly thin as the larger one, still appears too thin compared to others her age.

His exposed arms and legs were covered with fine, light-colored scars, which looked quite shocking.

Considering the ages of these two cubs, one is eight years old and the other is eleven...

With that height and build, they look like two little bitter gourds...

As Zurich sized up the two of them, the two children who had just moved to a new environment were also sizing him up.

Compared to the strange uncle who brought them back, and the other odd big guys, the obviously much younger Su Li made them feel much more at ease.

So when they met each other's eyes, although they were somewhat timid, they did not look away and let Su Li look them over.

Meeting the gazes of the two cubs, Su Li felt a little flustered...

How to do?

What should I say?

Why are their eyes so watery? Are they about to cry?

What should I do to comfort her if she cries later?

Waaaaah... I suddenly miss the leader of the kids in my little mountain village! What should I do?! Tiger, your brother Ali needs you!!!

"You're the one who bought me?"

The little cub's voice pulled Su Li out of the endless loop of "Save me, save me!" in her mind.

"Gah?"

What did he say?

"No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!" After hanging out with Wu Xie for so long, he didn't need to think before saying these three denials; they just came out without thinking.

Su Li's denial surprised the child who asked the question.

"Were you bought too?"

So, after being bought, they'll be raised this well? That seems pretty good.

As the cub Li Chu looked at the clean and beautiful person in front of him, he thought to himself.

"Forehead……"

Su Li looked at Xiao Lichu's large, prominent eyes, which were especially noticeable because of his thinness, and was at a loss for words.

Sitting in his study, Xie Yuchen heard the conversation in the courtyard outside and looked at Xie Qi standing in front of him.

"Human trafficking?"

"Patriarch, I wanted to adopt him, but Li Yiming refused..."

Jie Qi still felt a little wronged.

After finally finding the target based on the information given by the family head, and investigating the surrounding area, all he could think was, "This child is worse off without a father!"

This life is worse than that of an orphan.

"So you spent money to buy him back?"

Xie Yuchen had a headache. He usually seemed quite reliable, so why did he suddenly start acting strangely this time?

"I can't just kidnap someone and bring them back..."

Meeting his patriarch's gaze, Jie Qi's voice grew softer and softer, his unease deepening.

Seeing his guilty look, Xie Yuchen raised an eyebrow.

"What else did you do?"

"The day after I got someone to change the child's household registration... I had their neighbor report Li Yiming for child trafficking..."

Given their family's current relationship with the authorities, transferring a child's household registration would be incredibly easy, especially after learning about the abuse the child had suffered at the hands of his biological father. They did it without hesitation.

Li Yiming, who was happily counting the large sum of cash he had just received and sipping his wine while lamenting that he would have no one to vent his anger on in the future, suddenly found himself with a pair of silver bracelets. He even sobered up in the detention center.

Xie Yuchen said he almost didn't recognize his deputy anymore. Goodness, after this series of actions, who can tell the difference between you and Hei Xiazi?

Jie Qi: I can still tell the difference. I'm not as good at fighting as Blackie... nor am I as resilient as Blackie...

Judging from the way the patriarch slapped Blackie, if he were to slap him instead, Blackie would lie down on the spot and wait for his seventh day after death...

Judging from his actions, Xie Yuchen had a bad feeling about how he had brought the other child back...

Until Xie Qi finished speaking, Xie Yuchen only looked at him with an "I knew it" expression.

Compared to Li Yiming, who has a name, a job, and a job, those tomb raiders are much harder to trace.

Jie Qi went to great lengths to find this group of people, and mobilized his connections.

The relationships among the members of the Nine Gates are complex. Although the leaders at the top sometimes have disagreements, everyone still has to put on a show of respect.

But in private, who doesn't have a few close brothers in their family?

These connections are valuable resources.

But finding those low-level connections, like those of mice, is actually more effective.

After all, retail investors don't have much contact with high-level people, do they?

We were able to find this group of people thanks to the connections made by Fourth Master's men.

"I arranged for people to find them to trap lamas. Master, you don't know, I originally thought that you taking the young master into the tomb was already insane enough, but those rats are even worse. There are several of them who are only eleven or twelve years old..."

As Jie Qi spoke, he realized something was amiss and secretly glanced up at the patriarch, whose expression seemed unchanged...

Damn it...

Just now I……

Did they say something terrible?!

Of course, they said your family head was heartless and insane...

"Homeowner..."

Jie Qi wanted to slap himself. How could he have let his true feelings slip out like that?

Oh no, will the family head throw him into the pond to feed the fish?!
