”May I ask if Master Liu is here?” The person who came was a twenty-seven to twenty-eight year old girl. She wore black sunglasses, had long, wine-colored hair, was wearing a brown coat, and wore long leather boots. ”I have something I would like to ask for your help, Master Liu.”
Hu Xiaotian hastily replied, ”Look at what I'm saying, it seems like work is coming.”
”Please take a seat, this is Master Liu.” Saying that, he poured a cup of tea and brought it out. The girl sat down in front of the table and looked at Hu Xiaotian and me. ”I only came here because I saw this name card.”
I softly said, ”If you have anything you want to say, tell me. We will definitely help out with what I can.”
”Let me introduce myself.” The girl reached out and took off her sunglasses, revealing a beautiful face, thin lips and white, greasy skin. What fascinated me most was her deep, beautiful eyes, black and blue, a mixture of blood and blood.
”Let me introduce myself, my name is Xia Wanqing.”
”Xia Wanqing? I seem to have heard of this name somewhere. ” Sing was stunned for a moment, then said with a face full of excitement, ”I remember now, I saw you in the magazine before. You are the young miss of the Xia Corporation, Miss Xia Wanqing.”
Xia Wanqing smiled and said: ”That's right, I've done it a few times, but it was just to help with the marketing.”
I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, ”You … ”You are a mixed blood?”
”My mother is a foreigner. My father is from Z.” Xia Wanqing reached out to grab the cup of tea and took a sip. Then, she said: ”Actually, I came here this time because I want you to do something for me. Of course, I won't treat you unfairly.”
I whispered, ”Why don't you tell me what's the matter first? Maybe we don't have the ability to help you.”
”Actually, it's like this. My Xia Group has always been in the jewelry business, but because of my father, we have always been in charge of archaeology in the country.”
”My father had always been studying ancient culture. This time, we found a tomb belonging to an ancient royal family. However, there were many mechanisms within the tomb, so we didn't dare to recklessly enter.”
I whispered, ”But we aren't experts in the matter of robbing tombs.”
Xia Wanqing smiled and said: ”It's like this, I've also found a few experts in this field and have a lot of experience in archaeology. Other than you guys, I've also found two famous Ghost Catcher Masters, but I'm still a bit worried so I want you to come with us.”
”Don't worry. There will be a total of three teams travelling together, so there will definitely be a guarantee of safety. In addition, I will also pay you accordingly.”
After saying that, Xia Wanqing took out three stacks of red furs from her backpack and placed them on the table, then she softly said: ”Here is thirty thousand dollars, it's the deposit for the three of you. If you can find the funeral objects, then we will double this thirty thousand and if we can't find anything during this trip, we can only give one hundred thousand to each of you.”
A hundred thousand? This Xia group is indeed generous, but I have never heard of it.
”Master Liu, have you considered this clearly?” I looked at Hu Xiaotian, who was beside me. He also looked at me and remained silent.
As for the promise, my eyes were glinting as I looked at the bills on the table. I hesitated as I looked at the thirty thousand yuan on the table.
”I might as well give it a try.” Tang Yufeng's voice sounded by my ear. Since she agreed, I didn't say anything else.
I nodded. ”That's fine, but I want to know how you found me. Don't talk about business cards, because I've never sent one.”
Xia Wanqing smiled and said: ”Actually, a friend of mine told me to come find you. As for who she is, I'm not in a good position to say. You'll know when the time comes.”
Hu Xiaotian then asked, ”When are we leaving?”
”The day after tomorrow, I'll send someone to pick you up in the morning. All you need to do is to bring the Ghost Demon Catcher. As for the other things, I'll prepare them for you.”
”Mm, alright then.” What the heck did I say? It's already been booked. Xia Wanqing continued: ”Since that's the case, then I'll be leaving first. I'll see you the day after tomorrow.”
