Chapter 429: Chapter 425: Arrival! Entering the Tomb!

The result was obvious, they failed to rob any supplies and seven or eight armed men emerged from the back compartment and captured the whole group.

Trying to run?

No need to be polite about it; they just shot them in the legs and it was over.

As the gunfire rang out, Wen Ran was cheering and jumping with joy~

Why? Because with these malicious scumbags around, every time her husband went out driving, she’d be on edge.

Now things were good, they hit a hard iron plate and got caught themselves.

Just one word to describe it—satisfying~

Next to her was Cai Xiaowen: "..."

She recalled Wen Ran’s unhesitating pull of the trigger aimed at Xiao Yu’s leg when on the mountain.

She also remembered signing documents without ink, and even contemplated using Xiao Yu’s blood as ink.

Then being surrounded by a pack of wolves, showing no fear, and looking so relaxed as if coming home...

One thing after another.

Cai Xiaowen felt a sense of admiration rising slowly from the bottom of her heart.

What on earth is this sister’s background!

Waa waa waa, never mind, just silently hugging her thighs is the way to go.

Wen Ran was unaware that she had somehow collected another little fangirl.

Oh no.

To be precise, it’s fangirling over a sister.

...

When they arrived at the destination, Mr. Gu Sr. was shaken up beyond measure.

The moment the car stopped, the old man felt like he had finally come back to life.

Little did he know, he had overestimated his physical fitness, and once he got off, his legs weakened, nearly causing him to fall down.

If it wasn’t for Wen Ran’s quick reflexes, grabbing the collar of Mr. Gu Sr., saving the day at the crucial moment, this project could have ended right when Mr. Gu Sr. arrived.

Pulling him back to stand straight, Wen Ran had an incredulous look on her face, "Really, I know you’re excited, but could you please restrain yourself a bit?

This is really frightening."

Older people have brittle bones.

Someone young like her, if they fell, it might hurt for a while, bruise for one or two days, and before long, they are bouncing around.

If the old man fell, with good luck, he might end up bedridden with a fracture for three months, slowly recovering, clinging onto life.

With bad luck, lying in bed continuously could cause him to fade away.

"Professor!"

"Professor!"

Mr. Gu Sr.’s students, witnessing his maneuvers with Wen Ran, were horrified.

They shouted in despair, scare striking such that Cai Xiaowen got half-frightened to death and didn’t raise her foot high enough.

With a thud, she crashed into the panel.

Falling not jumped, she plummeted downwards.

Wen Ran, catching sight of it, ran to execute an emergency braking just before Cai Xiaowen’s face hit the ground.

The face, stopped just five centimeters from the ground.

Seeing Cai Xiaowen suffer no substantial injury, Wen Ran relaxedly let go.

Falling from a height of over one meter, almost two meters, could break someone halfway dead, but from a height of three to five centimeters, it’d only stain the corner of clothes a bit.

Cai Xiaowen, heart still pounding, collapsed on the ground, yet wanted to climb up.

But with limp arms and legs, she couldn’t get up, only silently extending a hand to clutch Wen Ran’s calf.

Waa waa waa, scared to death.

This journey, really was escaping death only to face more dangerous scenarios constantly.

This baffling maneuverwhile disembarking nearly scared the archaeology department kids to their knees.

When Qin Fengsheng descended the driver’s seat, seeing the archaeology department’s bunch of bookworms either kneeling, lying down, or sitting, huddled together.

They looked just like fragile chicks.

Qin Fengsheng: "?"

He couldn’t understand but chose to remain silent.

Scratching his head, he gave Wen Ran a goofy smile, "Ran, I’ve dropped you off, we’re off now!"

Wen Ran turned, calmly saying, "Brother Qin, thanks a lot."

"Hey! Why the courtesy with your bro," His figure resembling a tower, hitting his chest twice like Tarzan.

"We’ve been through life and death together, mouthing pleasantries feels awkward."

"Alright!"

Wen Ran, without any fuss, crisply said, "When I return to Capital City, I’ll treat you to a scrumptious meal, my mother-in-law’s culinary skills are top-notch."

"Excellent!"

Once the pleasantries were done, Qin Fengsheng had his own tasks to tend to.

He left all three’s luggage, along with Hetao and Red Army, and then drove off with the captured robbers.

"Hello everyone~"

Wen Ran raised her hand, cheerfully greeting, "I’m Wen Ran, I bet all of you senior brothers and sisters already know me."

"What senior brothers and sisters," A stunning beauty stood out from the crowd.

Though draped with layers, and covered in dust, still couldn’t overshadow her stunning looks.

Therefore, when she extended her hand, Wen Ran unhesitatingly reached over, not blindly, but took hold of it.

The stunning beauty spoke sweetly, "We’re from the same sect, calling this is too estranged.

Call me senior sister, senior brother!"

"Sure!"

Anyway, it’s just a term, Wen Ran thought, this is fine, that’s fine, we’re not picky.

This tomb was discovered by chance when people were building houses and accidentally unveiled bronze artifacts which secretly went up for sale.

The coincidence later led those artifacts to a related person in charge.

Others couldn’t tell, naturally oblivious to the significance.

Yet in the hands of experts, a mere glance was enough to gauge how long these things had been unearthed.

Tracing the source of items, brought them to this tomb.

Everyone listened attentively, occasionally jotting down notes.

Wen Ran was practically the embodiment of confusion, didn’t understand a word, yawning and with blank eyes looking around drowsily.

Mr. Gu Sr. watched Wen Ran’s reactions, initially feeling a bit uncomfortable.

After pondering for a minute, not knowing what he was thinking about, he managed to persuade himself.

Whether she listens or not, that’s okay, they’ve just begun, there’s plenty of time ahead.

This place, Mr. Gu Sr. realized it late, already tomb robbers had dug a hole.

Mr. Gu Sr. ignoring the exhausting travel, followed the direction of the theft tunnel, heading inside. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

He, now rather keen to taste the saltiness of this thing.

Naturally, Wen Ran didn’t hesitate to follow behind.

Finding, the tomb didn’t have as many ceremonial practices or twists and turns leading to traps.

Many places had collapsed, buried under dirt, but only a small portion of space remained intact.

"Wow," Wen Ran held a small lamp, gazing at the burial chamber, her eyes darting around, "If someone took a piece of this..."

"Then you could go inside,"

Mr. Gu Sr.’s words almost made Wen Ran choke.

"Kinda ominous, huh."

"Ominous or not, just keep from messing around with your hands."

Wen Ran knew well, what if by some chance she triggered a mechanism!

The records warned about it.

Better safe than sorry!
