Chapter 907: Keep an eye on her
"Injured?" Steve on the other end of the phone immediately raised his voice nervously and asked with concern, "Senior, where are you injured? Are you okay? Have you told Mr. Li?"
"Car accident..." Nie Yao finished saying this, fearing that Steve's outburst would scare his adoptive father, so she quickly whispered, "It's just a minor scratch, nothing serious. Don't tell my dad, or he'll worry. Li Jinxing has already rushed over to accompany me, so you don't have to worry!"
"Senior, you're taking it too lightly. How can a car accident be considered a small matter?" Steve shook his head and sighed softly, "No wonder I couldn't get through to you before. It turns out it's such a big deal!"
At this point, he couldn't help but mutter in confusion, "How could there be a car accident all of a sudden? I remember my senior sister said that your biological father sent someone to pick you up..."
"This is a long story. I'm afraid someone attacked me because they didn't want me to go back and share the Nie family's wealth..."
A sarcastic smile appeared on Nie Yao's lips.
"How vicious!" Steve frowned and said angrily, "If it weren't for the archaeological project here, I would definitely go and seek justice for my senior sister!"
"Okay, you better take care of this archaeological project. This is the most important thing right now!"
Nie Yao chuckled and whispered to Steve, "I might be delayed for a few more days, so you need to help me keep a close eye on the archaeological base!"
"Don't worry, Senior Sister, I will be serious and responsible!"
Steve quickly patted his chest and solemnly made a promise to Nie Yao.
Only then did Nie Yao feel relieved. She reminded Steve of some precautions and then ended the call.
She had just put down her phone when the ringtone rang again. She took a look and saw that it was Li Jinxing calling, so she quickly answered the call.
"Yaoyao, I just called you and you were on the phone..."
Nie Yao smiled faintly and nodded, explaining in a low voice: "It was Steve. There was a new discovery in the Egyptian archaeological field, and he shared it with me..."
"So that's how it is!" Li Jinxing suddenly realized and felt relieved.
"Don't you care what new discovery it is?" Nie Yao asked jokingly, noticing his nonchalant tone, "That's a secret your ancestors have kept hidden for thousands of years!"
"I think this discovery is not enough to open the tomb..." Li Jinxing curled his lips slightly, smiled faintly and said jokingly: "Otherwise you wouldn't say that!"
"I really can't hide it from you. We've only dug an underground tunnel, and no one has been attacked by the trap. This is pretty good progress!"
Nie Yao sighed softly as she spoke, "Speaking of which, it's a good thing we incorporated those desert natives into our team. They're descendants of the builders back then, and they're very familiar with the terrain they're digging in, saving everyone a lot of effort and trouble!"
"Well, when this project is over, I will reward them well!" Li Jinxing nodded slightly and answered with a smile.
"It's funny just thinking about it. The tomb robbers hiding behind us wanted to corner us in the desert, but they ended up leading us to encounter those indigenous people. And by chance, we even got the secrets of your ancestors and heirlooms. It can be considered a blessing in disguise!"
When Nie Yao talked about this, she couldn't help but sigh...
"I can only say that neither the desert nor these thousands of years of history are something they can master just by thinking so..." Li Jinxing said with a low laugh.
