Chapter 818 Departure
The next morning, Nie Yao woke up early, made her preparations, packed her things, put on her backpack, and left the hotel room.
After she finished breakfast, Officer Ted was already waiting in the hotel lobby. When he saw her coming, he hurriedly said respectfully, "Miss Nie, if you are ready, we can set off now. It would be better to set off while it's still early in the morning and the weather is not too hot!"
Nie Yao nodded slightly and replied with a faint smile, "I know, I'm ready. Let's go!"
Officer Ted nodded and responded with a smile, then ordered one of his men to help Nie Yao put the suitcase on the back seat of the car, and then invited Nie Yao to get in the car.
Nie Yao sat in the car, with military vehicles still leading the way in front. They left Cairo and drove towards Luxor.
On the way to Luxor, Nie Yao took out her cell phone and called Steve to ask if he and his adoptive father had set off yet.
"Don't worry, Senior Sister! We left earlier than you did. It was arranged by the person in charge, Mr. Moss. He sent someone directly to the site and has already hired workers to start excavating..."
Steve replied with a smile, and Nie Yao finally felt relieved. She whispered, "Okay, Steve, I'll leave the excavation site to you for now. Although everything is ready, you still have to pay attention to safety. Also, tell my dad that he's old and doesn't need to stay at the site all the time. Otherwise, he can't stand this kind of weather!"
"Don't worry, Senior, I'm here. You can hold the press conference with Mr. Moss without worry. I won't let Professor Fred get tired. I'll be watching over you!"
Steve readily agreed and continued to make promises to Nie Yao, and only then did Nie Yao's frown slowly relax.
"If there's nothing else, I'll hang up. If you find anything at the excavation site, let me know immediately! I'll rush over as soon as I finish the press conference!"
Nie Yao reminded him in a deep voice. Steve nodded and smiled in response, then said, "Wait, Senior Sister, I want to ask, did Mr. Li call you or send you a message?"
Nie Yao was stunned and silent for a moment, then shook her head in realization and whispered, "No, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
When she said this, she remembered that she had asked Steve to find out if Li Jinxing had landed safely. Her heart instantly jumped up, and she immediately asked nervously, "Did something happen to Li Jinxing?"
"No, he landed safely, what could happen?" Steve shook his head and laughed. Even through the phone, he could clearly feel the senior sister's concern for Li Jinxing.
But last night he sent a message to Li Jinxing, saying that his senior sister had injured her palm, but Li Jinxing reacted very coldly. This contrast made him feel even more sorry for his senior sister!
"It's nothing. Why are you asking this suddenly?" Nie Yao saw him hesitating and thought he was hiding something from her, so she asked unhappily.
"Senior, it's nothing. I just texted him yesterday and mentioned your injured palm..."
Steve paused, shrugged, and muttered softly, "I thought he would at least send a message to show his concern for me, but I didn't expect..."
Having said this, he snorted in displeasure and did not continue.
Nie Yao suddenly realized what was going on, and her heart was relieved. However, the indescribable bitterness slowly rose from the bottom of her heart.
"Steve, you don't have to tell him about my situation!" Nie Yao reminded Steve and ended the call.
