Gu Sinian held the person tightly in his arms, "I guessed that you went into the space to rest, but my heart was still hanging in mid-air until I saw that you were safe."
Su Ying touched Gu Sinian's beard, which had grown new hairs that were quite prickly.
His eyes were bloodshot; it was obvious he hadn't had a proper rest. "Why don't you take a nap?"
"I dare not. I'm afraid something will happen to you."
Su Ying gave the man a reproachful look. "What could possibly happen to me? Didn't you see my potent sleeping pills? Just one inhalation can keep you asleep for three days and three nights."
The man smiled helplessly; he knew this was the little girl's handiwork. "Your medicine is indeed very effective. After this ordeal, the recipe for this potent sedative may be lost."
Indeed, everyone on the dock and in the living room was under the influence of her powerful sedative.
"It's alright. Just report the truth. This prescription for the strong sedative is useless to me anyway, so hand it over."
With such an understanding and righteous wife, Gu Sinian kissed her forehead with great happiness.
"My wife is so understanding, beautiful and kind."
"Stop flattering me. Let's get back to the point... I wanted to say..."
“I know what you’re trying to say, but the timing isn’t right now. I will find a way to return the two batches of cultural relics in another way.”
"Actually, you shouldn't have put the cultural relics into your space, since it's always causing trouble."
"I'm not at ease. I only confused a few people. Who knows if a few more will suddenly appear? It's safer to keep the cultural relics in my space. That way, I can go into my space and sleep peacefully."
“I really couldn’t take it anymore last night… I was so sleepy… I felt that the safest place for the cultural relics was inside the space, so I put all the cultural relics inside.”
"I just don't know how to deal with this group of people. After all, when they wake up, they will definitely insist that the cultural relics are on the ship, and that I disappeared into thin air within ten minutes."
Gu Sinian hadn't expected this. "You let someone see you enter the spatial dimension?"
Su Ying shook her head, "No, that's not it. It's just that Qiao Xiyan didn't let me eat or sleep for a whole day and night, so my body reacted and I started to cry out, and the baby also protested."
"If I don't take this risk, I'll be deported, and finding me again will be harder than climbing to heaven."
“I couldn’t wait any longer yesterday. I was about to board the ship, so I went into my space while Qiao Xiyan was out for ten minutes. When she came back, I had disappeared. She thought she had encountered something unclean and was quite frightened.”
"Serves you right!"
"Don't mention that person who doesn't want to do it. Help me think of a way to get through this, otherwise I really don't know how to take a statement."
"After all, it's a fact that they disappeared into thin air. How can this be explained? It's simply impossible to explain."
"Then explain. Just say that you woke up not far away and don't know anything else."
"Fortunately, the cultural relics also disappeared without a trace. When the time is right, we'll pin everything on ourselves and never change our story, understand?"
Su Ying nodded. She didn't understand the intricacies of the interrogation. She just accepted whatever Gu Sinian said, as long as no one else looked at her. She didn't care what others said.
"As for the cultural relics, we'll find an opportunity to put them in an abandoned factory later. There's a place like that nearby. We'll act according to the situation."
Okay. I'll do whatever you say.
While everyone was finishing up, Su Ying and Gu Sinian left for a while, and soon after, they led them to the abandoned factory.
The cultural relics I acquired in Guangshi before going to the countryside, as well as the cultural relics from last night, were all placed in the abandoned factory building.
Gu Sinian led everyone to search, and they found all the cultural relics. After being appraised by relevant experts, it was confirmed that not a single relic was missing.
When Su Ying returned to the family compound, Du Yunying hugged her and cried uncontrollably. After a while, it was said that although the two were only nine years apart in age, they were more like mother and daughter than biological mother and daughter.
The two women gave an awkward smile, their eyes revealing their unmistakable bond; they were indeed mother and daughter.
But this matter cannot be told to outsiders.
"How's the situation going?"
Gu Sinian ladled a bowl of chicken soup and placed it in front of Su Ying. "It's good. They believed what we said."
How could Su Ying not understand the intricacies involved?
"But since both batches of cultural relics have been found, we didn't investigate them further, as it would have been pointless."
"You understand correctly, that's indeed the case."
Recalling her conversation with Qiao Xiyan that day, Su Ying felt a little uneasy. After all, the matter of rebirth was too bizarre, and talking about it would only cause more trouble.
"What about Qiao Xiyan? What's her statement? Does anyone believe her?"
"Don't worry. With me here, I'll shift all the blame onto Qiao Xiyan, since she does indeed have mental issues."
What's wrong with her?
"She actually claimed that she was reborn and that she found out about the museum where the artifacts were hidden in the future, which is why she was able to find the tomb raiders to cooperate with. She said she knew their contact information because she saw it on TV and that's why she contacted them to cooperate."
"And you even said you were reborn too, and that we weren't together in our previous life..."
Su Ying paused, her hand holding the spoon still. Qiao Xiyan knew she was doomed and wanted to drag her down with her.
"What nonsense are you talking about? There's no such thing as rebirth in this world. Being reborn after death is simply a fantasy."
The man shrugged. "I don't believe it either. I suggest the military arrange for her to see a psychologist; she might have a mental problem."
Su Ying took a deep breath. Indeed, this rebirth was too bizarre. Even Gu Sinian didn't believe it, as he was a staunch materialist.
