Chapter 706 Not That Simple
At this point, a guess suddenly occurred to him, and he said to Professor Fred and Nie Yao, "Professor, Senior, do you think this key could be the key to some huge underground treasure? Otherwise, why would the other party be so cruel?"
Nie Yao laughed dumbly, shook his head, and jokingly said, "Steve, have you watched too many hidden treasure movies?"
"My speculation is well-founded..." Steve was about to explain when Li Jinxing said in a deep voice, "It seems they are not just after the money. Last time I used the Spear of Anubis to lure them out, but they didn't steal the precious golden spear..."
"Maybe... maybe they only care about the big ones and look down on a mere small cultural relic?" This was the only analysis Steve could come up with.
Professor Fred shook his head and murmured, "It shouldn't be that simple, but Steve's guess is not impossible..."
"Look, the professor also thinks what I said is not impossible!" Steve blinked and smiled proudly at Nie Yao.
Nie Yao shrugged helplessly, subconsciously looked at Li Jinxing, and asked in a low voice: "If that's true, will you regret handing over this heirloom?"
Li Jinxing raised the corners of his lips slightly, patted the back of her hand, shook his head and smiled faintly: "Yaoyao, our Li family's ancestors have left us many things that are more valuable than wealth, and now we are not short of money. If this thing can bring the murderer who killed my parents to light, I will not regret it..."
"Mr. Li, if this is truly a priceless treasure, according to local cultural relics law, you are entitled to a share..." Professor Fred paused, then added with a faint smile, "I will help you communicate this matter with the authorities. After all, you voluntarily returned the item!"
"Thank you, Professor Fred!" Li Jinxing nodded slightly, thanked him with a faint smile, lowered his head to glance at Nie Yao, and whispered, "I just hope they can help us quickly find the secret behind this, and who is hiding behind this and coveting this artifact!"
Professor Fred nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "Once we arrive in Egypt, we will have a meeting with the head of the Antiquities Committee and discuss what to do next..."
Li Jinxing and Nie Yao looked at each other, and both of them had no objection to Professor Fred's statement.
The artifact returned to Nie Yao's hands. Nie Yao carefully put it back into the box and locked it. Then he took out his notebook and began to study it.
Professor Fred continued to rest with his eyes closed. Steve was too excited to sleep because he had drunk several cups of coffee early in the morning, so he simply took out his cell phone and started playing games.
"Yaoyao, looking at the flight route, it will take a long time to reach Egypt. You should rest for a while first..." Li Jinxing whispered to Nie Yao when he saw that she was still studying the archaeological materials.
"It doesn't matter. It's still early. I'll watch for a while. When I get tired, I'll take a nap. You should rest first!" Nie Yao smiled faintly and replied to Li Jinxing.
"Are you worried that what happened on the plane last time will happen again?" Li Jinxing saw through her deep-seated worries and asked with a low laugh.
Nie Yao was stunned for a moment, then met his all-seeing gaze. She touched the tip of her nose and sighed softly, "I know it was your eldest brother who did it last time, so no one was prepared, but I did leave a mark..."
