The archaeological team was waiting to see what the antiquities dealers would do next.
Guan Yuxi had always known this.
She knew even better that the archaeological team was eager to go further and close in on everything.
However, what she didn't expect was...
This step was actually using himself as bait!
Therefore, she twisted Leng Lie with extra force.
Leng Lie looked at her with a face full of grievance.
"Xixi, injuring your back will affect the use of certain functions..."
Guan Yuxi pinched his waist again.
Her eyebrows shot up. "How dare you say that?"
What were your plans with them? Why didn't you tell me beforehand?
She wasn't surprised at all that the archaeological team and the armed forces could find out that Leng Hongxing had connections with those people.
However, they used her as bait without even saying hello.
She was very angry about this!
Leng Lie's strong arms encircled her slender waist.
She said with great sorrow, "Xixi, whether you believe it or not."
Things aren't as you think.
I would never agree to use you as bait!
Perhaps the archaeological team frequently summoned the couple to the mountain in order to increase Guan Yuxi's importance in the enemy's mind.
When the enemy makes a move against her, she can follow the clues and break the deadlock.
Perhaps the armed forces department had already taken full control of all the enemy's actions.
Even Guan Yuxi's every move.
They were all under their surveillance.
Leng Lie clenched his fists so tightly they cracked.
"One day, I will be able to take my destiny into my own hands!"
"Xixi, you have to believe me!"
Guan Yuxi pried his fingers apart one by one.
She touched her waist, which had been pinched bruised, with a pained expression.
He nodded and said, "Yes, I believe you."
Let's work together!
She also needs to seize the opportunity to make money.
Money isn't everything.
But it is human courage.
When necessary, it can also be a weapon for self-defense or a tool for revenge!
As the two were descending the mountain, they happened to run into Grandpa Dai and Fang Yuan, who were ascending the mountain.
"Xiaoxi, I'm so glad you're alright,"
Grandpa Dai hurriedly climbed the slope.
His excitement was palpable.
Guan Yuxi pulled Leng Lie back two steps and said calmly, "Thanks to you, I'm neither dead nor crippled."
As she spoke, she waved her mud-covered hands.
Grandpa Dai's expression stiffened slightly.
Then, she smiled again, "You figured it out?"
Guan Yuxi nodded expressionlessly.
Grandpa Dai's lips twitched slightly, and he asked again, "When?"
Guan Yuxi glanced at him, "When you see the Bronze Divine Tree."
If she really is from this era.
Perhaps you won't see any flaws.
However, up to the 21st century, the largest bronze artifact ever discovered was only 396cm long.
It is also a bronze divine tree.
The tree that was unearthed at Dafenpo was actually half a person tall!
Guan Yuxi was surprised at the time, but she didn't think too deeply about it.
However, the archaeological team kept asking them to go up the mountain.
Coincidentally, the Armed Forces Department also assigned Leng Lie to stay behind and supervise Chu Zheling.
First, Leng Qingshu and the others were trapped underground.
The archaeological team only allowed Aunt Du to find one trustworthy person to help her.
Even more coincidentally, the five brothers of Guotai Min'an (the five sons of Leng Qingshu and Aunt Du, mentioned earlier) happened to be in the next village those two days helping with the construction of water conservancy projects.
Aunt Du had no choice but to ask Leng Lie for help.
Then, the archaeological team naturally lured Leng Lie to stay and help with the work by offering him substantial rewards.
And then.
Guan Yuxi slowly realized something was wrong.
She was afraid that the two of them would be used as cannon fodder.
Only then did he deliberately demonstrate his superb skills in restoring and creating "cultural relics" in front of Mr. Dai!
Even if they are still used as cannon fodder.
She didn't want the two of them to be abandoned so easily!
How can you tell?
Grandpa Dai and Fang Yuan exchanged a glance.
His eyes widened in anger and shock.
They didn't expect that.
The "Bronze Sacred Tree," a masterpiece crafted with the painstaking efforts of all cultural relics experts, was instantly recognized by Guan Yuxi!
Where exactly did the flaw appear?
Guan Yuxi scoffed lightly, "Fake, it's still fake!"
But how can we tell?
She had no idea.
Because she didn't look at it carefully at all!
But this doesn't stop her from maximizing her profits to compensate for the emotional trauma she suffered.
Grandpa Dai was somewhat embarrassed.
Fang Yuan sensibly took over the conversation, "Well, we didn't do it on purpose."
We didn't expect them to act so quickly.
I reckon it should be in..."
"It should be tomorrow, right?"
Guan Yuxi interrupted him, saying sarcastically, "Does the world revolve around you and yourselves?"
Fang Yuan opened his mouth, then silently retreated.
Grandpa Dai said helplessly, "Xiao Xi, I'm really sorry."
It was indeed my fault in this matter.
However, I didn't expect them to actually dare to kidnap you in broad daylight.
The armed forces personnel kept a close eye on the most active members of this group.
Originally, they wouldn't have had a chance to kidnap Guan Yuxi.
But I never expected it.
At the crucial moment, Chen Ergou, the mole, jumped out and ruined everything!
Fang Yuan blinked. "I can compensate you."
"Name your price; as long as I can afford it, it's fine."
Guan Yuxi laughed in anger, pointing a trembling finger at him, "Do you think everything can be solved with money?"
What if she dies?
Or what if she's missing an arm or a leg, and Leng Lie doesn't want her anymore?
