Seeing Chen Ke's gloomy face, Li Guaizi had a bad feeling, but he still asked with a glimmer of hope, "How is it? What kind of people are they from?"

Chen Kelu showed disgust: "...They are puppet troops who collude with foreigners."

Li Guaizi spat a mouthful of phlegm onto the ground, "Damn it, I was wondering who dug such a big tunnel, turns out it was these bastards!"

"The entrance to the tomb was ajar. I went out to take a look. They had openly set up camp, but it was quiet. I guess they had taken a break for something. Otherwise, we might have run into them in the tomb tonight."

"It's over. The respectable people in this tomb are probably doomed. Let's hurry and take as much stuff as we can before they come back." Li Guaizi said, standing up and walking back.

Chen Ke grabbed him, asking, "How long can you dig this kind of tunnel in one night?"

Li Guaizi didn't know why Chen Ke suddenly asked this question, but when it came to digging tunnels, it was a question that touched on his forte. He usually wouldn't bother answering questions, except for digging tunnels.

"I won't say too little, and I won't ramble on either, but this is the minimum." Li Guaizi proudly held up three fingers.

Chen Ke raised an eyebrow. "Three hundred meters?"

Li Guaizi: "Three hundred meters? Do you think I'm a pangolin? Thirty meters, let me tell you, with a tunnel this big, you can only dig thirty meters in one night at most."

Chen Ke: "Okay, thirty meters is enough."

"What's enough?"

“I just did the math. The reason we came to this tomb from the passageway is because there are two side chambers in that passageway, and this is another one. If we connect the two side chambers with the tomb-raiding tunnel, these laymen might mistake our side chamber for the main tomb chamber.”

Li the Cripple waved his hand, "Impossible, how could they not even distinguish between a tunnel and a robber's hole—" He stopped abruptly mid-sentence, realizing they hadn't actually differentiated them...

"Didn't you notice? The tunnel is very similar to their tomb raider's hole. The biggest difference is that one has drier walls, while the other is damp because it was newly dug."

"But there's no coffin in the main burial chamber. Even laymen wouldn't believe it."

Chen Ke smiled and said, "They won't care about those things."

Li Guaizi was skeptical, but seeing Chen Ke's confident demeanor, he had no choice but to do as he said. Otherwise, even if they filled their baskets to the brim, they wouldn't be able to take even one percent of those things out, and in the end, those bastards would only benefit!

Without further ado, Chen Ke went to the camp and grabbed two handy military shovels.

Li Guaizi took it and waved it away, then started to get angry again, "Damn it, that military shovel is so useful, unlike my broken shovel. Humph, when I take the gold out later, I'll get one of these too. Oh, and your military water bottle, I'll get one too."

"Get it done, get it done, I'll get everything done for you outside, now get to work."

"Hey, where are you going? Aren't you going to work with me?" Li Guaizi had just raised his shovel when he realized that Chen Ke didn't seem to have any intention of working with him.

Chen Ke couldn't very well tell him that he was going to scan antiques to make fakes, could he? Seeing Li Guaizi's suspicious look, Chen Ke couldn't think of a good excuse for a long time, so he could only make up a story: "Didn't you say you were going to dig thirty meters by yourself? If I dig another ten meters, wouldn't I overdo it? Besides, I'm not as good at digging as you. If people see that one section looks good and another section looks bad, wouldn't that give me away?"

I thought Li Guaizi wouldn't agree to such a bizarre reason, but to my surprise, he nodded very seriously, "That makes sense, then find a place to rest."

Chen Ke: "...Okay."

In the main burial chamber, Chen Ke used a flashlight to scan all the large, eye-catching antiques. Then, he used the gold ingots in the burial chamber to print out all the scanned antiques and put them all in the side room.

Just in case, even a copy of the coffin of the tomb owner was printed and placed in the middle of the side chamber, but the coffin inside was empty.

Having done everything, Chen Ke listened to the sounds coming from the other side of the wall and guessed that Li Guaizi had been beaten enough, so he went back the way he came.

Seeing Li Guaizi still sweating profusely, looking like he was about to dig through the wall, Chen Ke quickly stopped him, "Alright, alright, let them dig out the rest themselves and experience the sense of accomplishment." The main problem was that if they dug through now and saw the coffin and the burial goods in the tomb chamber, he wouldn't be able to explain it to them.

Li the Cripple answered and put away his shovel, wiping away sweat and saying smugly, "How was it... whew... I dug... whew... not bad, right..."

While carrying soil, Chen Ke praised, "You dug really well! You're worth thirty of them by yourself!"

"Hehe, my legs aren't good, so I can only focus on honing my hand skills. Otherwise, if I don't have some special skills, no one will play with me."

Chen Ke knew that Li Guaizi was referring to the time when he and his master went down into the tomb, where everyone had to play a role, or else they would be out of a job.

As for the original owner's special skills... they were simply being bold and quick-witted.

Such people may seem useless, but when faced with danger and critical moments, they can always seize that sliver of a chance to survive, which is more important than any special skill.

The two men then painstakingly transported all the excavated soil into the main burial chamber, piling half of it behind the hidden door of the side chamber they had just entered, and using the other half to cover the passageway from this chamber to the main burial chamber, completely eliminating any possibility of them finding the true main burial chamber.

Finally finished, Li Guaizi exclaimed and slapped his forehead, "It's over!"

Chen Ke looked at him: "What's wrong?"

"My gold nuggets are still in the side room, I haven't taken them out yet! Sigh! Now those bastards are getting them for free!"

Chen Ke chuckled and pointed to the corner of the wall, "How could we possibly let them get away with this?"

Li Guaizi looked down and grinned from ear to ear, "It has to be you again."

Finally, the two men, carrying the gold nuggets, swaggered out of the tunnel dug by the puppet troops.

Looking at the dark camp in front of them, Chen Ke and Li Guaizi went in for a stroll without any hesitation. When they came out again, Li Guaizi had a military shovel and a military water bottle.

After filling in the tunnel they had dug themselves, the two walked back towards the rising sun. Li Guaizi touched the military water bottle hanging on his chest and sighed, "Director Chen, you're really amazing. You said you'd get it for me, and I did."

Chen Ke remained expressionless. "Keep it low-key, but you shouldn't easily show these two things to outsiders."

Li Guaizi said smugly, "I know, you're afraid they'll be jealous."

Chen Ke: ""

No, that's not it. I'm afraid they'll find out you stole it.

Back in the dilapidated house, the exhausted couple fell asleep immediately and slept until noon the next day.

Touching his empty stomach, he looked at the gold nugget beside him.

"Let's go, let's go to the city and have some fun!" Li Guaizi waved his hand, exuding an air of wealth and arrogance.

Chen Ke thought about his adoptive parents and younger brother who were far away in Shanghai, and felt that he should go back as soon as possible, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go into the city first."
