Chapter 71

"Hmm?"

"Interesting?"

Lin Yi took a sip of water, sensing that Ning Che was about to say something not good, and subconsciously looked at Qiu Yuluo.

"You're not pregnant, are you, looking for me to do a prenatal check-up?"

"Damn, even if she is pregnant, it would be her, what does it have to do with me?"

"We've been pretty careful, it shouldn't happen."

"Get out, get out, get out."

Lin Yi laughed, didn't ask any more, and then started chatting about other things.

As for what Ning Che wanted to say, they would wait for the people from Team One to arrive.

However, it was clear that what she wanted to say wasn't an urgent matter.

After about ten minutes, the food Lin Yi ordered was served, each dish was fresh and quite expensive.

At the same time, the people from Team One also arrived.

"Ning-ge, Qiu-ge."

They greeted each other and then took their seats.

Since they hadn't eaten lunch, no one was polite, they all picked up their chopsticks and started eating, no one was modest.

About half an hour later, everyone was almost done eating, Lin Yi asked:

"You're almost done, let's talk now."

The people from Team One put down their chopsticks, sensing that today's visit wasn't just for a meal, there might be other matters.

"Do you remember the bronze artifacts you found in the tomb?"

"Bronze artifacts..."

Lin Yi muttered, recalling the bronze statues they found in the tomb.

"Didn't we already figure out that they were replicas from the island?"

"But one thing was recognized."

"Recognized?"

When these words were spoken, everyone from Team One looked at Ning Che.

"Who could recognize it? Everyone is dead," Lin Yi muttered.

"Don't rush, let me explain." Ning Che straightened her expression and said:

"At the time, a total of 108 bronze artifacts of various sizes were unearthed. Some of them had inscriptions, and there were also inscriptions on the circular walls in the tomb, remember that?"

Lin Yi nodded.

At the time, it was the people from Team One who went down into the tomb, and they all had a deep impression of it.

"After those things were brought back, they were studied for a long time, but no significant findings were made, so the museum applied to exhibit them?"

"Is that possible?"

"Of course." Ning Che said:

"Since they were excavated from here, they naturally count as our cultural relics."

Lin Yi nodded, waiting for Ning Che to continue.

"A few days ago, a cultural group from an African country came here for a cultural exchange, and one of their stops was to visit the museum."

"They saw the bronze artifact?"

"More precisely, they saw the inscriptions on it."

The expressions of the people from Team One changed.

"Recognized the inscriptions? Impossible."

"They didn't recognize them, but they found them familiar." Ning Che said:

"They said they had seen similar inscriptions in a primitive tribe, and they talked about it for a while."

"Then what did they talk about?"

Ning Che shrugged, "Nothing specific, they just remembered seeing them, found them a bit familiar, and there's a possibility they might have remembered incorrectly."

"Is there any action on our side?"

"We plan to send someone to check after their visit ends. If it's a false alarm, it won't waste too much effort."

Lin Yi held his wine glass and took a sip.

"If it's true, we'll have to get involved."

"Pretty much."

"This is indeed interesting." Lin Yi looked at Ning Che and Qiu Yuluo, "What do you think?"

"Same as you, I find it interesting." Qiu Yuluo said:

"In our area, we can't find related information, but primitive tribes are different. For thousands of years, they have been a closed system, maintaining ancient lifestyles. They might really know something about this, but that's just my guess. We'll have to wait until their visit ends and go check."

"This is a pleasant surprise." Lin Yi said:

"How long will this visit last?"

"More than half a month, but I can't say if it will be extended." Qiu Yuluo said:

"Besides the capital, they will visit other places. It's a cultural exchange, so they will visit several places."

"Understood."

"By the way, the new type of mineral we brought back has been made into training equipment and put into use last week. You can go back a few days early to try it out."

"Good."

*Snap*

Ning Che casually lit a cigarette and said:

"Have you found out who attacked you?"

"Blood Bull Club."

"About what I guessed. They were also involved in the Middle East operation, and with their brains, they are the most likely suspects."

"Don't say that." Qiu Yuluo said:

"They didn't get to this level by brute force."

After a pause, Qiu Yuluo continued:

"The people they sent gave us this impression, but there are many capable people in the organization. Jiang-ge and Yu-ge have confirmed this. Don't underestimate them."

Lin Yi nodded, agreeing with Qiu Yuluo.

"In this operation, there was a behind-the-scenes contact, a very meticulous person. If it weren't for accidentally exposing their tattoo, I wouldn't have been able to find out it was them."

"You didn't report this to the team." Ning Che said:

"This isn't a Team One matter, it's a Central Guard Regiment matter."

Ning Che was reminding Lin Yi not to take this on himself.

It's best to let the Central Guard Regiment handle it.

"But they weren't targeting the Central Guard Regiment and Team One, but the research institute's data." Lin Yi said:

"Given the current situation, the research institute's data can't be exposed, so reporting it isn't appropriate."

"Afraid of too many eyes, right?"

"Exactly."

Everyone was clear about the situation with the Central Guard Regiment.

Although Lu Beichen still had absolute control, he couldn't control everyone.

If he really had 100% control, Lu Beichen would be in danger.

"Now, how far have you progressed?"

"We're still investigating their base." Xiao Bing said:

"Based on the scale and characteristics of this operation, it should be their base in the Asia-Pacific region. We are still investigating the specific location, but we have some leads now."

"I suggest you focus on Mardi." Qiu Yuluo said:

"Given his position in the Blood Bull Club, he might be the mastermind behind this operation."

Lin Yi's expression was serious, and he said calmly:

"I haven't thought that much, but none of them will get away."
