"Didn't I tell you you could go back and rest? Didn't any of you leave?"
Commander He's expression turned serious as he said, "Master Lin, although tomb raiding isn't my forte, I still understand the concept of morality. You risked your life for the safety of the people of Jiang City. If I were to leave now, how could I face anyone? So after you went in, I withdrew my men a distance and had them expand the search area. I never expected that all those archaeologists would lose their lives!"
"You've found them already?" Sister Bai couldn't help but ask in surprise. Brigade Commander He nodded and said, "Yes, in a stream inside and outside the house. Everyone died there!"
Commander He's expression turned serious. Sister Bai, not wanting to say much, simply said, "Commander He will probably be very busy from now on. But you should seal that tomb later. Let the Yin energy inside dissipate; otherwise, it might truly become a deadly place. Also, remember, before you seal it, none of your men should approach it, otherwise the escaping Yin energy will affect their safety!"
Commander He dared not disobey Sister Bai's words, nodding repeatedly as he listened to her instructions. Seeing how much Commander He trusted her, Sister Bai felt somewhat embarrassed. However, if Commander He were to send men to guard her now, Wu Sansheng would likely face much more trouble upon his return, and might even be caught.
However, Commander He still thought of the most crucial matter and asked somewhat embarrassedly, "Master Lin, this ancient tomb is of great significance to archaeological work. Before the tomb was sealed, you were the only person to enter the deepest part. I want to know if there are any artifacts inside?"
Sister Bai's expression didn't change at all. Seeing Commander He staring at her, she finally showed a helpless look and said, "Sigh...those archaeologists lost their lives for nothing. The main room is basically just a miniature church. Besides the chairs and tables from over two hundred years ago, there's only a cross left. You've really lost out big time. If I'm not mistaken, the corpse spirit inside is the missionary who came to our country over two hundred years ago. Commander He, do you think studying a foreigner's church is interesting?"
"Uh, there's nothing inside?"
"There was a coffin, but I smashed it to pieces. Commander He, I know how things are done in your government. But if this continues, even if no one dies, it will affect the rest of those people's lives. Do you think it's worth it to test the truth inside and sacrifice the health of so many people?"
Sister Bai had said all she needed to say; in truth, he didn't think there was anything about the tomb worth studying. Commander He hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, smiled at Sister Bai, and said, "Alright then, Master Lin, I'll escort you back!"
"good!"
After getting into Commander He's car, Sister Bai closed her eyes and went to sleep. She did this so decisively because she was afraid Commander He would ask her all sorts of questions. If he sensed anything amiss, she wouldn't be able to sell the things she'd retrieved from the underground tomb.
Commander He didn't disturb Sister Bai's rest along the way. When they arrived at Sister Bai's house, Commander He didn't want to be too loud. He smiled, patted Sister Bai's shoulder, and called out, "Master Lin, we're home."
Sister Bai opened her eyes; he had truly fallen asleep. Seeing the house right in front of her, she said somewhat embarrassedly, "You actually fell asleep, haha... Commander He, why don't you come in and sit for a while?"
"No, I won't bother you so late at night. Once this is all over, I'll come over as a guest. Please don't be unwelcome!"
"Actually, I really don't want you to come to my house. You always have something on your mind when you come!"
Commander He laughed heartily, and Sister Bai opened the car door and got out. After watching Commander He leave, she walked home.
What surprised Sister Bai was that the lights in the house were still on. Could it be that Qian Xiaohao and Su Mo hadn't gone to sleep yet?
Curious, Sister Bai quickened her pace to the door, took out her key, and opened it. Perhaps because the door opened quite loudly, Su Mo, who had been sitting on the sofa in a daze, immediately exclaimed in surprise!
Seeing how timid Su Mo was, Sister Bai laughed and scolded, "Look how timid you are! If you're so scared, why aren't you asleep so late!"
Seeing that it was Sister Bai who had returned, Su Mo breathed a long sigh of relief and asked with a smile, "Brother Bai, did you encounter any danger tonight?"
Sister Bai shook her head, but when she got closer and saw Su Mo's eyes, she found that they were red and swollen.
Su Mo cried?!
Chapter 95 If a dog bites us, we can't bite the dog back!
Seeing Su Mo's red and swollen eyes, Sister Bai's brows furrowed little by little.
Although it's already past midnight, and the room had been quite eerie because of Qiqi, Su Mo has seen her share of ups and downs with Sister Bai. Surely she wouldn't be so scared as to cry for a long time?
It takes more than just a few minutes of crying to make your eyes swollen.
"Alright, Sister Bai, you must be tired too. Do you want to take a bath? I'll run the water for you." Su Mo probably noticed that Sister Bai was watching her eyes, so she quickly changed the subject.
Bai Jie nodded slightly, not intending to ask her now. After Su Mo finished running the water and Bai Jie took a shower, Su Mo had already returned to her room.
Seeing that she wasn't there, Sister Bai had no choice but to go to sleep. She turned off all the lights, and just as she lay down on the bed, Qiqi jumped out of the ring. Ever since the jewelry was put into the ring, Xiao Zhen had been trying it on.
