Chapter 769 Robbery
"You're right. The Desert Eagle is indeed not a suitable pistol to carry around, but among the group of people we met last night, someone did shoot at us with a Desert Eagle..." Li Jinxing took a sip of coffee and said in a light tone.
Steve's eyes widened in shock. He quickly took his coffee and sat down opposite Li Jinxing. He asked nervously, "Have you caught those guys? Why did they shoot at you? Were they trying to rob you? The pyramids are pretty chaotic, with all kinds of people there..."
Li Jinxing shook his head and replied with a faint smile: "Yes, but not..."
Steve was confused by his words and asked doubtfully, "Mr. Li, what do you mean by that? Are they trying to rob us, or..."
"What they want to rob is not the money, but the ancient Egyptian artifact we handed over to the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities!" Li Jinxing replied in a deep voice.
Steve was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood something and frowned: "So they are still here for Mr. Li's heirloom?"
Li Jinxing nodded slightly as a response.
Steve thought back to the time when he and his senior rescued Mr. Li in Egypt. Then, comparing this incident with the special protection provided by the inbound military, he seemed to understand something. He asked in surprise, "So, Mr. Li, the same group assassinated you in the Valley of the Kings last time? Were they after your heirloom, too?"
"It's hard to say whether they are the same group of people, but their purpose is obviously the same!" Li Jinxing nodded, picked up the coffee and took a sip, with a sarcastic smile on the corner of his lips.
"These people are really too cruel!"
Steve shook his head and sighed, then said worriedly, "But now you've handed the things over to the Cultural Relics Department. Even if they rob you, it's useless..."
"We've caught the guy with the Desert Eagle and handed him over to the police. We're just waiting for the results of the interrogation!"
Li Jinxing added in a low voice, "Those people seem to be well-informed. If they really knew about this, they might make plans against the cultural relics department..."
Steve was shocked when he heard this. He quickly put down his coffee, stood up and said, "Then I'll go tell the professor right away and tell the person in charge of the Cultural Relics Committee to prevent it from being stolen!"
"Go ahead and ask them about the progress of their research. It's best to get started quickly on the archaeological excavation, lest we have to wait and see!"
Li Jinxing reminded him lightly, Steve nodded quickly in response, and hurriedly said goodbye and left their holiday villa.
After Steve left, Li Jinxing put down the coffee in his hand, got up and went to the room. Steve had made such a loud noise just now that he was afraid that Nie Yao had been woken up!
However, when Li Jinxing entered the bedroom, he found Nie Yao lying on the bed, still motionless, maintaining the same position as before, sleeping very deeply, as if she could neither hear nor feel any movement from the outside world...
Li Jinxing's brows furrowed slightly, and he felt something was wrong. He quickly patted her face and called out softly, "Yaoyao, Yaoyao?"
He called out several times, but Nie Yao still didn't respond, just like last night when he carried her out of the bathroom!
But she must have been too tired last night so she fell asleep in the bath and had no problem breathing. After this night, she should have woken up. Why can't I wake her up until now?
