Tomb raiding: It all started with shocking the archaeological team.

Chapter 89 I Don't Like Working for Others

Good guy!

Chen Yibai exclaimed, "Good heavens!" He had indeed guessed correctly; Yan Tianjiu really had a plan!

From this perspective, it seems that the ancestral skills of the Xieling family have not been lost to this day.

It's just an upgrade. Before, it was somewhere between bandits and tomb raiders. If they found a tomb, they would dig it up; if they couldn't find a tomb, they would roar like tigers and rob people on the way.

Now it's evolved into: if you find a grave, you dig it up; if you can't find a grave, you do legitimate business.

No wonder!

No wonder Yan Tianjiu started from scratch and built Shending Group into a business empire worth tens of billions in just a few decades.

The most dangerous aspect of tomb raiding lies in the final sale of stolen goods, while Yan Tianjiu's Shending Group's main business is antique trading and international auctions, which is equivalent to a perfect self-production and self-sales model.

No wonder their Shen Ding Group has grown so big!

However, on the other hand, the crackdown on tomb raiding and the trafficking of cultural relics is extremely severe now. Does Yan Tianjiu really trust me that much and not afraid of being reported?

Of course, there's nothing to fear. Yan Tianjiu's ability to rise to the position of the richest man is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Immediately afterwards, Yan Tianjiu took out his cigar box, took out a cigar, cut it open, lit it, and handed it to Chen Yibai. A smile appeared on his originally dignified face as he said, "Captain Chen, since we've come this far, I'll be frank with you..."

"This earthen talisman and cloth were unearthed from a Western Han Dynasty tomb when my great-grandfather joined the Fengtian warlord clique. The tomb owner was named Zhang Shou, who was the highest-ranking official of the Earthen Martial Bureau in the Western Han Dynasty! And what is hidden on this cloth is the original site of the Western Han Dynasty imperial mausoleum that the Earthen Martial Bureau was responsible for building. However, this Western Han Dynasty imperial mausoleum is extremely special because it was built in the Qinling Mountains!"

“Back then, my great-grandfather ventured deep into the Qinling Mountains several times, but because he couldn’t decipher the contents of the painting, he couldn’t find this Western Han Dynasty imperial tomb. Moreover, my great-grandfather once said that only tomb raiders could probably decipher the contents of the painting. However, at that time, your… your grandfather, Chen Xiaoting, seemed to have disappeared…”

They didn't disappear, they were reborn...

Chen Yibai took the cigar, knowing that Yan Tianjiu hadn't finished speaking, so he smiled and remained silent, waiting for Yan Tianjiu to catch his breath before continuing with the main point.

Yan Tianjiu took a big puff of his cigar and looked at Chen Yibai seriously as he continued, "Captain Chen, finding this mysterious Western Han Dynasty imperial tomb has been the long-cherished wish of our Yan family's Xieling lineage for generations. Unfortunately, our Xieling lineage is not very good at geomancy. I never thought that after several generations, our two families would be able to reunite. This is truly a predestined fate. So I want to ask you for help. Let's work together to find this Western Han Dynasty imperial tomb!"

I'll provide the money and resources; you provide the effort! No matter how much money you need, no matter what resources you require, with my current influence and connections, I can get it all sorted out for you!

Chen Yibai believed what Yan Tianjiu said.

However, Chen Yibai wasn't very interested in the idea of ​​partnering with someone to rob a tomb.

Yan Tianjiu seemed to sense Chen Yibai's hesitation and immediately said, "Captain Chen, as for security, you can rest assured. Opening this mysterious Western Han Dynasty imperial tomb is the long-cherished wish of our Yan family for generations, not for money. I don't lack money either. At that time, none of the burial objects in the tomb will be sold on the market. I will build a museum in the name of the group. As for your personal reward..."

"One hundred million! How about it?"

Yan Tianjiu held up an index finger at Chen Yibai. From the smile on his face, it was clear that he was very confident; this was a price no one could refuse.

One hundred million is indeed an astronomical figure.

Unfortunately, Chen Yibai still wasn't very interested. He didn't even blink when he heard the numbers in the hundreds of millions.

Because Chen Yibai was cautious by nature, Yan Tianjiu, despite his pleasant words, couldn't trust anyone these days, especially businessmen and tomb raiders.

Yan Tianjiu happens to have both of these qualities...

Most importantly, Chen Yibai doesn't like taking other people's money and risking his life!

On the other hand, with Chen Yibai's current strength, he can easily make money on his own, and there is no need for him to risk his life for Yan Tianjiu.

However, it seems difficult to handle the situation if we simply refuse outright.

After all, this is a society that values ​​personal relationships.

So Chen Yibai, puffing on his cigar and smiling with narrowed eyes, looked at Yan Tianjiu and said, "Since even your great-grandfather couldn't decipher the contents of this painting, then I'm not necessarily confident either. I can only take a picture and study it slowly when I get back..."

Chen Yibai felt that Yan Tianjiu would most likely not agree to let him take the photos back for research.

Even if you agree to take a photo and bring it back, you can reply a few days later with, "My abilities are limited, I really can't understand it," which will allow you to politely decline without hurting anyone's feelings.

When Yan Tianjiu heard that Chen Yibai wanted to take a photo to take back and study it slowly, he hesitated for a second, but finally nodded in agreement.

After Chen Yibai took out his phone and took several photos of the Western Han Dynasty cloth,

Yan Tianjiu then took out a black gold bank card from his pocket and placed it in front of Chen Yibai: "Captain Chen, there are ten million in this card. Take it and spend it first. If you need anything else, just let me know..."

Spending ten million right off the bat, that's really extravagant.

This shows that Yan Tianjiu really cared about and was very concerned about this Western Han Dynasty imperial tomb.

Chen Yibai, however, pushed the bank card back, shook his head, and laughed, "I can't accept something for nothing. Taking money before even doing anything puts a lot of pressure on me. Let's talk about it later... later..."

It's unbelievable that someone could refuse so much money.

This caused Yan Tianjiu to furrow his brow almost imperceptibly, as if he had discerned Chen Yibai's thoughts but was not entirely certain.

However, deciphering the content of the cloth painting will indeed take time, so we can only wait for Chen Yibai's response.

That concludes our discussion of the Western Han Dynasty imperial tombs.

Chen Yibai didn't stay long. He drank a few cups of wine, ate a simple meal, and then got up to say goodbye.

When she pushed open the door and walked out, Yan Xuefei and several bodyguards were still standing at the door.

"Xiao Fei, go and see Mr. Chen off."

Seeing Chen Yibai walk out with a smile, Yan Tianjiu even politely offered to let Yan Xuefei see him off.

This surprised Yan Xuefei, who stared wide-eyed in astonishment.

What is the situation?

Looking at the peaceful and harmonious scene, could it be that the family reunion was successful and the man in front of them was really the godfather's 'young master'?

If you calculate it that way, wouldn't that make him your own "godfather"?

"No need to trouble yourself, I have some other things to do, I'll go back by myself..."

Chen Yibai shook his head and declined Yan Tianjiu's offer. He glanced at the stunned Yan Xuefei one last time before turning and leaving the club with a flourish.
