Chapter 255: Chapter 185: Is the rock sugar ready? (Please subscribe)_2

Lin Chuan reported the situation inside the ancient tomb to Zhang Biao, who immediately ordered a team to enter the tomb and sent a message to Anling Police Station to block off the roads around Dabao Mountain.

Unfortunately, those people seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Even the Wu brothers, who Lin Chuan had injured, as well as several other burly men, were nowhere to be found.

However.

Zhong Xunfeng and the others were successfully rescued by Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan’s mission was also completed, and moreover, the excavation of the ancient tomb would likely not commence within the next day or two.

Therefore, Lin Chuan returned with Shen Qianqian.

“I should have insisted on accompanying you down there, it was too dangerous with guns on the other side,” Shen Qianqian murmured, pouting slightly as she drove.

Lin Chuan turned his head, glanced at Shen Qianqian, and chuckled, “Isn’t that why I wore a bulletproof vest? If it really came down to it, I might not necessarily lose to them.”

If he was alone, Lin Chuan was confident that he could use the terrain and mechanisms of the tomb passages to take them down.

At least leaving one or two of them behind would not be a problem.

Shen Qianqian sighed, then said indignantly, “This band of tomb robbers, belonging to an overseas organization, have overextended their reach.”

“Indeed.”

Qin Sisi chimed in, “If Lin Chuan hadn’t been so fierce, we probably would have all perished in there.”

Shen Qianqian turned her head to look at Lin Chuan, recalling the previous worrying experience for his sake, and nodded in agreement, her lips pursed, “He is indeed quite fierce.”

Lin Chuan grinned to himself, thinking that the Little Landlady had said the same thing.

Although they were not about the same incident, the sentiment was similar.

The sky cleared after the rain.

On the way back, the mood among the group was much lighter.

Qin Sisi said she owed Lin Chuan a meal, but Lin Chuan politely declined, because the Little Landlady had asked him to come home for dinner.

…

Anling City, Qingxiu District.

Nightfall, Anling after the rain, still retained a thin layer of mist, which under the illumination of the lights, appeared like a gossamer veil, the contours of the city indistinct amidst the neon lights and rain mist.

Inside the office of a company.

A mixed-race girl around twenty-five years old, standing about 170 cm tall, wearing a Chanel printed off-white dress, her skin was very white, glowing with a healthy sheen.

She was sitting at her desk with a tablet on it, showing a figure in black whose face couldn’t be clearly seen.

The two were having a video call.

“Coco, your mission has failed, and three of your subordinates are seriously injured,” the person in black was speaking English with a voice that was distorted and sounded somewhat hoarse.

The mixed-race girl, referred to as ‘Coco’, had the corners of her mouth lightly lifted, “It wasn’t a complete failure, we managed to secure some of the artifacts.”

“Not a complete failure? Coco, your plans were so easily thwarted, I’m very disappointed in you all. If it weren’t for your identity, I would be speaking to you harshly right now,” the black-clad figure said with a heavy tone and continued, “Right now, the artifacts are the least of our worries. Anling is taking this very seriously now. You haven’t been exposed, have you?”

Coco smiled, unaffected by the disruption of the mission, “The two who led us into the tomb have already been dealt with.”

“That’s good. For the time being, halt your operations and just ensure that our current projects continue running smoothly,” the person in black softened their tone.

“You know, that’s not my style,” Coco raised her eyebrows with a smile.

“What are you planning to do?” asked the person in black, taken aback.

“I’ve discovered an even greater treasure!” Coco’s smile brightened, her face brimming with radiant joy, “It could bring us endless profits, far exceeding the value of the Nanyue Royal Family’s ancient tomb!”

“What nonsense are you talking about?” the black-clad figure questioned.

“Nonsense?”
