Gu Qingming stayed in the study, tapping the screen of his mobile phone. He saw that the chat messages with Li Xiujun were from two days ago, and no matter how many messages Gu Qingming sent after that, there was no response.
Gu Qingming frowned and crossed his hands, feeling a little strange: "That's not right, it should be here at this time."
Gu Qingming pressed the dial button again, but there was still no response. Gu Qingming felt more and more strange.
It was as if she had suddenly disappeared from the face of the earth, but this was not Li Xiujun's style.
Gu Qingming pressed the corners of his eyes with his hands and fell asleep in the study room unknowingly.
The next day, he was still awakened by a phone call. Gu Qingming thought it was Li Xiujun calling, so he quickly answered the call and subconsciously asked, "Is that Xiujun?"
"I'm Dali." Dali guessed that it was probably because Gu Qingming failed to contact Li Xiujun.
Gu Qingming nodded, realizing it was a tomb raider family, and replied politely, "Uncle Dali, what can I do for you?"
"Xiujun came to see us last time. Has Xiujun not contacted you in the past two days?" Dali asked.
With this relationship, Gu Qingming felt much more at ease and could discuss anything. "Yeah, is there something wrong in the ancient city?"
Dali then said, "When we went to the hotel to look for Xiujun today, we found that the hotel was blocked and no one was allowed in or out. I think this is probably the reason."
No wonder, it turns out it was all the work of the ancient city.
But Gu Qingming knew clearly that since Gu Cheng had done such a thing, something must have happened.
"Uncle Dali, don't worry, I'll go to the ancient city." Gu Qingming suggested.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Qingming began to pack his clothes and prepare to leave. Seeing Gu Qingming's anxiety, Old Man Gu stopped him and asked, "Where are you going in such a hurry?"
"Dali just called me and it seems like something happened in the ancient city. Xiujun hasn't contacted me for several days. I'm a little worried." Gu Qingming said.
Mr. Gu reacted quickly and made room for him: "Then go ahead."
Inside the hotel, ever since they learned that the telephone lines had been cut off and contact with the outside world had been severed, everyone present had become lifeless. It felt as if each of them was a zombie, with no hope in sight.
Only Master Li San was there. As usual, he first played with the beads in his hand, then stood on the balcony, stretched, and looked at the world outside.
Others were confused and thought that Third Master Li knew something about the internal situation, so they asked quickly, "Third Master, do you know something?"
Uncle Li San sighed and shook his head: "What's the use of being anxious? No matter how anxious you are, you can't get out, right?" Uncle Li San tried to use his own method to make them relax.
But it didn't have any effect.
Li Xiang jumped up from his stool as if he had remembered something. "This organizer really planned this for a long time. Yesterday, when I was using my phone, I couldn't send messages. I thought it was because of the bad network. Now it seems it was all the organizer's fault."
Little did they know that once other people knew this news, it would make things even worse for them.
Kong Wei stood up silently, and everyone in the room looked at him.
Kong Wei pursed his lips and said, "I think I know why we are locked up here. It must be about the underground key. It can be said that the key is a key to wealth."
Now, everyone suddenly understood. Master Li sighed and pointed at Kong Wei: "Why didn't you tell us at the time? We wouldn't have been locked up here for so long."
Kong Wei finally understood now, but it was too late to regret. He lowered his head and apologized quickly: "I was blinded by greed at the time. I didn't think too much."
"Forget it." Li Xiang stepped forward and persuaded Mr. Li San. At least, they now knew the truth of the matter.
Li Xiujun nodded in agreement. After putting her hand on her chin and thinking for a while, she said, "The most important thing now is for us to think about how to get out."
After all, the purpose of businessmen is profit, and they will never agree to anything related to their interests.
Mr. Li San thought about it and had a rough idea of the museum's attitude over the past two days. "If they can't find what they want, they will definitely not let us go. All we can do now is prepare for the long haul."
Li Xue couldn't help but complain: "What should we do? We didn't even know what they lost, but they just thought it was among us."
Xu Jian replied: "I think the matter is not as simple as we think. Maybe, just like the museum said, the artifact is among us."
Then Xu Jian complained again: "If I had known this would happen, I would not have participated in the project."
This is what everyone present is thinking now.
On the other side, Mr. Yi had no idea that he was being monitored by the museum staff.
Mr. Yi stayed in the room. After several days, there was no movement from the museum. Mr. Yi could not bear it any longer, so he sent someone to call Liu Min.
Liu Min hurried over, thinking that Mr. Yi was not used to living here, and quickly asked, "Mr. Yi, is there anything I can help you with?"
Mr. Yi crossed his arms and asked calmly, "I've been in this room for so many days, why is there no progress on the project?"
Liu Min explained with a smile: "It's like this, Mr. Yi, the project team has encountered a small problem. We need to resolve the problem over there before we can proceed with the project normally."
"How long will it take?" Mr. Yi was getting a little impatient.
Liu Min thought for a few seconds and then shook her head: "I'm afraid I can't give you a definite answer."
"You should call your superiors right now. My time is very valuable. Everything was fine before the investment, but the project hasn't moved at all. What have I become? A sucker?" Mr. Yi's face became increasingly ugly. He also tried to use this method to make the people in the museum change their attitude towards him.
Liu Min clearly remembered what he was told not to provoke Mr. Yi, so he followed Mr. Yi's instructions and went outside to make a phone call.
After entering, Liu Min slowly said, "Mr. Yi, as the higher-ups have said, we need to check on the project team."
Mr. Yi sneered, as if he had been brushed off.
