An hour later, Wei Tianci and Li Sha emerged from the water.
They drifted to the shore of a deserted island.
The two stood on the beach, staring at each other with their lips still stuck together.
The two paused for a moment before separating as if they had been electrocuted.
Wei Tianci casually said, "Alright, let's get ashore first and then get some firewood to warm ourselves up."
He then casually walked ashore.
Lisa looked at his retreating figure, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
Although Li Sha had never been in a relationship, she had seen it all.
She naturally understood what Wei Tianci's reaction underwater meant.
But why is he acting like nothing happened?
Even though they are friends, it's really strange that he just took the blame for them like that.
Always quick-witted and outspoken, Li Sha, with her tomboyish personality, simply couldn't keep her mouth shut.
She quickly caught up with Wei Tianci and walked alongside him, then reminded him in a crisp voice.
"Wei Tianci, are you carrying any weapons? You bumped into me underwater earlier."
Wei Tianci casually waved the scroll in his hand: "Is this the one you're talking about?"
Li Sha was taken aback, blinking as she looked at the scroll. It was indeed a rolled-up cylinder.
'So that's how it is...'
A strange look of disappointment flashed across her face.
After walking to a flat area, Wei Tianci squatted down and tore open the plastic packaging of the "Tang and Song Dynasties' Journey to the Sea" painting.
Then unfold the scroll and lay it on the ground.
The 5,000-year-old ginseng was indeed wrapped inside, revealing its true form.
Wei Tianci was overjoyed!
Perhaps because of its antiquity, five thousand years of ginseng has been condensed into its essence.
It's very tiny, only about the size of a palm.
However, Wei Tianci easily felt the gentle yet surging energy of the ginseng!
He exclaimed again, "This trip was definitely worthwhile!"
Once we get back, we can refine the Longevity Pill.
I'll eat one myself, and then I can try to challenge the rules of Heaven on a small scale and break through the impasse through practice.
The old man ate one pill, and his body was fully restored, ensuring the Wei family's continued prosperity.
Li Sha also squatted down next to Wei Tianci, her attention drawn to the ginseng.
'Is this the ginseng he mentioned so many times in his heart?'
'It's definitely not an ordinary item.'
"To say that Davis smuggled both the 'Tang and Song Dynasties' seafaring paintings and ginseng is an exaggeration."
"It's more accurate to say that the 'Tang and Song Dynasties' seafaring map' is just a smokescreen; what they really value is probably ginseng."
Wei Tianci was taken aback when he noticed Li Sha's thoughtful expression on her face.
[This girl is always selfless; could she be planning to take the ginseng and the Tang and Song dynasty seafaring map back with her as a token of her loyalty?]
Davis and his group definitely didn't buy the ginseng; it was certainly stolen goods obtained illegally.
Upon hearing the voice in her heart, Li Sha's expression stiffened, and a feeling of inexplicable grievance arose in her heart.
So, in Wei Tianci's mind, I'm really that 'clueless'?
Li Sha then said crisply, "Wei Tianci, if it weren't for you, I, Li Sha, would have died long ago, and these things would have been buried at sea."
"So after we're rescued, you can take them back with you. You deserve them."
Wei Tianci looked astonished and even doubted his own ears. What was this girl up to?
It's unbelievable that someone as selfless as Lisa could say such a thing!
Girl, you've made a mistake!
Lisa's cheeks inexplicably flushed, and she snorted coldly, "What are you looking at? Is there something on my face?"
Wei Tianci looked at her with a dark expression: "Alright, I won't take advantage of you. The 'Tang and Song Dynasties Going to Sea' painting is yours, and the ginseng is mine."
Oh no, I have a feeling that Inspector Lai's friendship with me has changed a bit?
[It's so hard for me to advance the plot!]
Upon hearing the inner voice, Li Sha's delicate body trembled, and a look of confusion appeared on her face.
Has the friendship soured?
'Do I really have improper thoughts about Wei Tianci?'
'But he's my friend, isn't it normal for me to favor him?'
"He helped me solve the case and complete the mission, and even faced death threats. I certainly can't let him work for nothing."
While Li Sha was lost in thought, Wei Tianci had already stuffed the ginseng into his pocket.
He then stood up and wandered around, thinking it was time to find some firewood to start a fire.
Upon seeing this, Li Sha immediately stood up and asked, "Wei Tianci, is there anything I can help you with?"
"I have pretty good wilderness skills; I received training at a police academy before."
Wei Tianci waved his hand: "I don't need your help."
"However, I noticed that the 'Tang and Song Dynasties Going to the Sea' painting is a bit damp. You can try to air it out."
Lisa obediently nodded and then found a green rope in the grass.
She washed the rope in the seawater and then tied it between the two trees.
Finally, the two-meter-long and two-meter-wide "Tang and Song Dynasties' Journey to the Sea" painting was hung on a rope, just like a bed sheet being dried.
Wei Tianci had piled up a bunch of firewood next to her, just waiting to start a fire by rubbing sticks together.
While Wei Tianci was gathering firewood, he inexplicably drifted off into thought for a moment.
I wonder what the situation is with Leng Ruolian.
[According to convention, she should have boarded the ship this time, but she didn't show up at all.]
This is really strange.
Li Sha, who was hanging up the "Tang and Song Dynasties Going to Sea" painting, froze in her hand after hearing the heartfelt words.
A hint of unhappiness flashed across her pretty face.
'Who is Leng Ruolian? Why does Wei Tianci always seem to have new women around him?'
'He did indeed have a date with a woman before boarding the ship, but she stood him up.'
Lisa herself was unaware of it.
Her feelings at this moment can be described with a cliché: jealousy!
Before Lisa could even begin to imagine what was going on, the satellite phone strapped to her arm started buzzing and vibrating.
Lisa quickly took it off, pressed the answer button, and then said "Hello".
Ning Chengsheng, on the other end of the line, asked in surprise, "I am Ning Chengsheng. Li Sha, what is the situation between you and Wei Tianci? Are you alright?"
After the question was asked, everyone in the electronic hall held their breath.
They had only witnessed the submarine's massive explosion before Risa's live-streaming glasses sank into the sea, leaving them utterly devastated.
Police Chief Ning persisted in dialing Li Sha's satellite phone, and surprisingly, it actually connected!
The moment they heard Li Sha's voice, everyone breathed a sigh of relief; good fortune always favors the virtuous.
Li Sha then reported the situation.
She and Wei Tianci were safe and sound, the national treasure 'Tang and Song Dynasty Maritime Map' was successfully recovered, and the mission was a perfect success!
Upon hearing this, Ning Chengsheng said "good" three times in a row!
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
He exclaimed excitedly, "I'll send someone to pick you up and take you home right now!"
"Captain Li, you'll be Deputy Director Li now that you're back!"
"congratulations!"
Thunderous applause immediately resounded throughout the electronic hall!
At the same time.
{Ding, host, congratulations on advancing the storyline of Police Captain Lisa's promotion and salary increase, leading her to the pinnacle of her life.}
{You are now rewarded with the Divine Power of Heavenly Eye and Celestial Pupil: Burning the Heavens!}
{Ding! Great Divine Power activated. Please check, host.}
Wei Tianci, who was gathering firewood, was stunned. Was this even possible?
