Chapter 136 Rescue
Yuan Tingchuan picked up the porcelain pieces one by one and looked at them quickly. When he picked up the last piece, his brows furrowed and Du Ruchong beside him shook his head at him.
Zhang Shiping's heart skipped a beat, and cold sweat ran down his forehead. He whispered, "Mr. Yuan, we really didn't do anything, you see..."
"You didn't do anything wrong, but you know very well that this is a replica of the Republic of China. You still took the trouble to bring this thing to me. Don't you look down on Yuan?"
As he spoke, he threw it casually. There was a crisp sound and the porcelain exploded on the stone. His hand was very strong and the pieces of porcelain scattered everywhere. A piece of porcelain fragment scratched Zhang Tuping's hand, leaving a bloody mark. Cold sweat flowed down his cheek and he was too scared to move.
Only now did he understand what Master Zheng said. This Mr. Yuan was not someone who was easy to fool. They had mistaken this imitation of the Republic of China at the time. It was only after they had rubbed, played with, and studied it day and night that they discovered that it was an imitation of an artifact from the Republic of China period.
Mr. Yuan quietly felt around and got to know everything. Zhang Shiping was secretly glad that he cared about the lives of his family and didn't dare to play any tricks. Otherwise...
Yuan Tingchuan's deep voice rang out: "This artifact is original, I can ignore it, the next one..."
Master Zheng next to him kept saying, "Don't worry, Mr. Yuan, I guarantee there will be no problem."
Seeing the two brothers quickly descending the mountain, Yuan Er stepped forward and said, "There is a mountain god temple on the hillside ahead. The brothers have already seen it. We can stay there temporarily. I see that the weather is not favorable tonight, so we can stay there."
Yuan Tingchuan nodded, took Du Ruo's hand and walked up the mountain. Du Ruo turned around and asked Yuan Wu as they walked: "Have you found out any news? Is Ling Yun here?"
"He's fine for now. When Boss Ling left, he placed him and his bodyguards on the small cliff in front. He just took away the ladder. Someone brings him food every day, so he doesn't look hungry."
"Boss Ling ran away?"
Yuan Tingchuan pulled her away and said, "Is he an old fox? He runs away at the slightest sign of trouble. Are you still expecting him to work together with the Qu and Chen families? Don't dream."
Du Ruo lowered his head and pondered. Judging from the current situation, it didn't seem like Boss Ling wanted to harm Ling Yun. Although they didn't have much friendship, even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs. So, how did Ling Yun die in his previous life? ?
While Du Ruo was thinking, he was pulled by Yuan Tingchuan to the mountainside, and he saw a mountain temple in the distance.
What surprised her was that this mountain temple was not too small and actually had three rooms. Although they were all dilapidated and one of the rooms next to it had collapsed, traces of the past could still be vaguely seen.
"It seems that this place was popular in the past? Such a remote place?"
“It’s a bit strange indeed.”
Yuan Er was very meticulous in his work. He saw that the sky had already been exposed in some places and dark clouds were pressing down outside. He thought for a moment and asked someone to find a few large wooden sticks, ready to use them to prop up the door if the wind was strong.
He also ordered a few people to set up tents in the temple, so that even if there was a heavy rain, they would not be afraid even if the roof leaked badly.
"Those people were shocked by me today. I'm afraid they are more anxious than us. I estimate that everything will arrive tomorrow. We can pick up Lingyun and leave tomorrow."
"Well, if things go well, it would be best if we could leave here quietly without causing any friction with them.
But I saw two things there today that look like they belong to a museum? What are your plans?"
Yuan Tingchuan looked at the night and smiled: "Of course it should be returned to its original owner." He didn't want to hide it. Keeping it in his hands would be a trouble sooner or later, not to mention that he didn't lack this thing.
"Really?" Du Ruo hoped to return it.
"The property will definitely be returned to its original owner. Just follow my path and you will know later."
Du Ruo raised her eyebrows. It seemed that this man already had a plan in mind?
It started to rain heavily in the middle of the night and did not clear up until noon. When the few people arrived at the hillside where they were yesterday, the three brothers were already walking around in circles in a hurry.
Yuan Tingchuan guessed correctly. There were three large boxes on the ground, and each person was carrying a small bag, which meant they were ready to leave.
Seeing them coming, several people were overjoyed.
"Mr. Yuan, everything is here. Don't worry. There is absolutely no falsehood. It is impossible for them to be discovered. We have arranged everything. Shall we leave now?"
Yuan Tingchuan was not in a hurry. He still finished checking everything one by one, made a gesture, and the person behind him came forward, closed the box and carried it away.
It had just rained on the mountain, and the path was very muddy. Yuan Tingchuan half-held Du Ruo's waist and walked down the mountain with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Du Ruo was so tired that her feet and neck ached. Just as she reached the bottom of the mountain, a man jumped on her.
"Ruoruo, you finally came to save me? In this damn place, I can't even make a phone call. I was still wondering when you would remember to save me."
Du Ruo pinched Ling Yun's cheeks with both hands: "You are promising, you, Ling Xiaosan?? Haven't you had enough of your losses?" She patted Ling Yun's face gently: "I think you are really tired of living?"
"I don't have any other choice, right? I have already made preparations. It's just that the enemy is too cunning, and I was fooled because I was careless." Ling Yun felt aggrieved as well. His own father was really an old fox. He had taken all precautions but still failed to defeat him. He was a little doubtful now. Was he too stupid, or did the father have a natural suppression on his son?
Yuan Tingchuan pulled Du Ruo back.
"Okay, let's go. It's best to leave here without alerting anyone. If they notice that several people are missing, they will definitely come out to look for us. We have to leave quickly."
Ling Yun said proudly: "Don't worry about me. I left the big guy behind. Every day when they deliver food, there will still be someone to pick it up. They can't even think that I'm gone."
Du Ruo said in surprise: "What about the big guy if we leave like this? Is he safe?" She had spent some time with the big guy and had a good impression of this big silly guy. She was really worried about him.
"You don't have to worry about that. The big guy grew up in the mountains and can climb cliffs just like walking on flat ground. If I wasn't afraid of heights, he would have left long ago. He got stuck there because he cared about me.
If you hadn't come today, I would have thought of asking him to tell you something. But the big guy didn't tell you because he was worried about me."
