Tomb raiding: Intercepting Yin Xinyue and building a family of immortals

"Liu Dacheng, let me tell you, you must not tell anyone about this. Although you think these brothers and friends are trustworthy, in the face of money, everything is meaningless."

Su Chen spoke slowly to Liu Dacheng.

Although his ideas were somewhat despicable, he understood human nature.

Liu Dacheng nodded. He had seen similar things many times over the years. Sometimes, if someone in the village hunted a roe deer or a wild deer, it would cause others to gossip about it for days.

If people found out that he got his hands on some gold with Su Chen, they'd probably be furious.

I'd love for him to get into trouble someday.

After stepping out of the tunnel, Su Chen shivered as the cold wind blew through him. Before he could react, a thick coat was already draped over him.

Old Zhang's familiar voice rang out.

"Chief Su, we're old friends. What's the meaning of you coming here secretly? Don't you trust me, Old Zhang?"

"Old Zhang, what brings you here?"

Su Chen knew the engineering company would come looking for him and wanted to use this opportunity to test Lao Zhang's attitude. He didn't expect that Lao Zhang would actually bring his men over directly after receiving the news.

And they chased him all the way to Crescent Moon Gully.

Looking around at the heavily armed soldiers, he realized that not only were there soldiers from the engineering battalion, but Old Zhang had also brought a guard company.

“I heard from my subordinates that you dismissed them with some excuse, and they came to check on you because they were worried something might happen.”

"That was a red envelope I prepared for my brother, it didn't mean anything else."

Su Chen couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and patted Lao Zhang on the shoulder.

"Don't you know who I am? It's almost Chinese New Year, and I need to make sure my brothers have a good holiday. But how did you know I was here?"

"We have to thank the village chief for this."

As he spoke, Old Zhang pointed at the village chief.

The village chief was old and had been forcibly dragged here, with several rifles pointed at his back.

He forced a smile, looking somewhat helpless, and said with a wry smile.

"Chief Su, I... I had no choice. Look at this scene, I'm just a poor old man from a mountain village, I've never seen anything like it before."

The village chief was completely terrified at this moment.

He followed the trail of Lao Zhang and a few other people to find his way here. If he hadn't done that, the bullet wouldn't have been pressed against his back, but would have been lodged in his head.

"village head!"

Liu Dacheng said something, but looking at the gun barrels, he lowered his head helplessly.

The group of Partridge Whistle behind Su Chen glanced around, their expressions slightly displeased, but they quickly concealed it.

Su Chen stepped forward and pushed aside the guns pointed at the village chief, saying in an annoyed tone.

"You're such a grown man, why do you have to bully an old man? If you have a problem, come at me."

"Now that I'm here, I have no intention of hiding from you."

Su Chen pushed the village chief next to Liu Dacheng, pulled a golden belt from Chen Yulou's backpack, and threw it directly to Old Zhang.

“I found some unseen artifacts down there. I had my men take them down and pack them up. As for this thing, it’s for you. It was torn off the stomach of some general. It’s a perfect match for you, a brigade commander.”

"Good good."

Old Zhang took it and glanced at it. The tiger-head belt really suited his taste. He nodded quickly and said with a hint of joy.

He immediately ordered his men to go down and move things.

More than two hundred people left carrying a large number of funerary objects. Su Chen originally wanted to stay in the village a little longer, but Old Zhang was in a hurry to go back. After saying goodbye to Liu Dacheng and the others, he left with Old Zhang.

After walking for a day, Su Chen saw the car parked at the foot of the mountain, along with a group of soldiers.

All the funerary objects were placed in the car. Old Zhang pulled him to sit in the front car and said with a smile.

“When we came here before, you didn’t have time to listen to me brag. Now that we’re finally on my turf, I won’t let you leave without having a few more drinks with me.”

"Old Zhang, it's almost Chinese New Year, my wife and kids are waiting for me to come home for the holidays, what do you mean by keeping me here?"

When Su Chen heard what Lao Zhang said, he knew what he meant.

It seems they don't intend to let me leave easily.

He said it half-jokingly.

Old Zhang got a little anxious when he heard this, and slammed his hand on the chair.

"Damn it, don't try to flatter me. I have no intention of keeping you here."

He paused here, organized his thoughts, and then said with great pleasure.

“I’m not that kind of person. It’s the New Year, and instead of joining my brothers in the festivities, is it appropriate for me to only think about my wife, kids, and a warm bed?”

"You can't even let me sleep with you? Why am I even thinking about you?"

"Nonsense, why can't I be with you..."

Old Zhang was about to retort, but after speaking halfway through, he realized that Su Chen's gaze was not right. He quickly covered his buttocks and said anxiously.

"Even if I could sleep with you, I wouldn't be here sleeping with you right now. I treat you like a brother, but you're eyeing my ass!"

"Who's eyeing your butt!"

Upon hearing this, Su Chen kicked him in the leg and said.

If others heard this, they would think that Su Chen likes men.

Fortunately, there were only two people in the car, so they didn't say anything inappropriate.

Su Chen glared at him, knowing that since Old Zhang had spoken up like this, he probably had no chance. He shook his head helplessly and said rather unhappily.

"Get me a freight carload of those funerary objects and send them to Shanghai. I need to build up my reputation at the auction house there, and I need these things. Don't even think about keeping them for yourself. They're not like silver dollars that are useless to me."

"Do you still want to send your brothers some New Year's red envelopes?"

To prevent this guy from doing something irrational, Su Chen reminded him to be more careful and not go crazy.

These words clearly had some effect, and Old Zhang nodded after a moment of silence.

"This is a serious matter. Don't worry, I won't interfere with your important work. Are you still sending supplies to Beiping?"

"Then we'll split it into two batches."

Su Chen pondered for a moment and then said.

After dealing with the whereabouts of the funerary objects, Su Chen glanced at Old Zhang and spoke frankly.

"Are you planning to do something behind my back? I've never seen you act like this when I see you before."

"I recently met a new friend, and I'd like to introduce him to you so you can get to know him too."

Old Zhang took off his hat, smoothed his flattened hair, and said with a smile.

Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief, leaning back in her chair, her heart finally at peace.

"I thought you really liked me."

"Damn it, this isn't going to get over, is it?"
