971 Perplexed and Smitten 31 (1/2)
With that, she reached out to take a portion of breakfast for herself.
Slapping away her hand, Jin Qingyan remarked, ”If you want to eat, go and get food from your captain. I didn't deliver this especially for you.”
Wen Lele pursed her lips. ”I take back the words I just said. Hmph, you don't act like a gentleman at all.”
He sneered, ”To you, I don't need to act like a gentleman.”
An Xiaoning took the breakfast and sat down in the tent with Jin Qingyan.
”I've already made the arrangements last night, the helicopters should arrive at any time.”
”How many did you send?”
”Four is enough.” Jin Qingyan already had it well-planned. ”The skeletons will be transported back and buried properly.”
An Xiaoning drank a sip of milk and started eating a glutinous rice ball.
The two sat together side by side and ate breakfast together. As the sun rose slowly, a brand new day was about to begin.
About half an hour later, a loud rumbling sound came from the skies and four helicopters landed on a vast piece of empty land one by one.
Out came twenty people from the helicopters.
Every helicopter could take sixteen people.
That way, there was enough space for all the skeletons to be transported back.
Every single one of them had tools in their hands.
After they went to the place where the skeletons were buried, the group of them started excavating together.
This particular pit where the skeletons were buried was quite intricate. The bodies had not been just buried inside, they were laid on thick and sturdy wooden boards that formed a passive pit. There were two layers of wooden boards above each other, and they were glued together with adhesive cement.
When they opened the first layer of wooden board, everyone was stunned beyond words.
Each set of skeleton was laid closely beside each other and, with one glance, it was to see that it was a sight that was hard to look at.
They were neatly arranged in a row and on each skeleton was a piece of amulet. However, upon having contact with light, the amulets instantly eroded away.
Seeing how Jin Qingyan's men were about to take the skeletons away, Wang Jinsheng called out, ”Don't touch them yet, let me take a picture!”
Upon hearing this, Jin Qingyan darted a cold glance at him and said in a nasty tone, ”Whoever dares to take a picture, I'll let them be buried inside here after all the skeletons have been cleared out!”
In response to his obnoxious threat, Wang Jinsheng couldn't help but frown. ”Mr. Jin, although you and Ms. An found the skeletons here, they have no relation to you whatsoever. Why do you want to have them buried in a proper place?”
”Who says that these remains have no relation to me at all?” Jin Qingyan's dissatisfaction was clearly written all over his face. ”I've never liked to put my nose in other people's business, unless it's my own.”
Wang Jinsheng was even more perplexed. ”Mr. Jin, can you explain more clearly? What do these remains have to do with you?”
”I have no comment.”
”…”
Attempting to smooth things out, An Xiaoning added, ”Captain Wang, what Qingyan said is true. If it isn't, he wouldn't have come here or sent people to get these remains buried properly. We can't reveal more details, but one thing is for sure, when these skeletons have been cleared out, you guys can inspect this place as you wish in the future. There won't be any issues arising anymore.”
”There's no big issue, but after these skeletons are transported away, it would make things easier for us indeed. There's something I'm still puzzled about, but since both of you refuse to say anything, I won't ask any further.”
The skeletons were contained in plastic bags and brought to land one by one.
Eventually, they confirmed that there were 963 sets of skeletons in total.
This was 963 lives gone…
As he looked at the skeletons, Jin Qingyan's heart was heavy, as though a huge stone weighted down on it.
After carrying out a ritual, An Xiaoning prepared to leave the place together with Jin Qingyan.
