Chapter 89

Su Wen, very unhappy, punched and kicked the bald man, finally saying with a deep resentment, "Do you understand the love for animals? You have no heart at all."

The bald man's nose and face were bruised, and he mumbled, not knowing who had just accused him of slacking off.

"Commander, should we wait here?" Zhou Fei pondered, looking at the sky; it was already quite late.

"What are we waiting for? There’s a truck over there. Load these people onto the truck and take them to the police station outside, then we’ll leave." Su Wen said.

"Yes, Commander."

...

Su Wen sat on the truck, constantly checking the treasures around him.

His vitality had largely recovered, and he could start collecting things again.

Before leaving, he collected two more items.

One was a Sunstone.

The other was Dragon Tongue Grass.

According to the system, the Sunstone is a stone that aids in cultivation, especially for fire attribute true qi. However, Su Wen didn’t even know what true qi was, so he could only chuckle. It was definitely a treasure.

As for the Dragon Tongue Grass, Su Wen had seen it in the plant section of the Prosperous Era Auction House. It looks like the tongue of a dragon and can cure many incurable diseases, especially headaches and other chronic ailments. Additionally, it is the main ingredient in many rare medicinal formulas and seems to be related to a body-tempering elixir from legend.

4:00 PM.

Su Wen and his group left the mountains.

Sirens sounded, and a row of police cars approached.

"I am Shi Daming, the chief of the Donglai Municipal Public Security Bureau. Which unit are you from?"

Zhou Fei stepped forward: "We belong to the national special forces. I am Captain Zhou Fei."

Upon hearing it was the special forces, Shi Daming became more reserved: "Captain Zhou Fei, thank you for helping to capture the poaching gang."

"No need to thank us, it’s our duty." Zhou Fei shook hands with Shi Daming.

"Zhou Fei, hand over the prisoners and let’s leave quickly." Su Wen’s voice came from the truck. He felt a headache when he heard they were in Donglai City, realizing they had left Jiangsu Province and traveled quite far.

"Yes, Commander!"

Shi Daming was taken aback. A special forces instructor was no ordinary person. He carefully looked at Su Wen, whose first impression was that he was young, and the second was that he was too thin and frail to be an instructor. However, he didn’t dare to be disrespectful and hurriedly stepped forward: "Sir, I am Shi Daming."

Su Wen nodded: "I am just their instructor, not a sir. You can call me Su Wen."

"Alright, Instructor Su Wen."

The prisoner handover had already begun, and Shi Daming and Su Wen started chatting.

Soon, they became more familiar.

"Instructor Su Wen, you are fully armed and will easily attract attention. I will send a car to take you to Jiangning." Shi Daming thought for a moment, intentionally trying to connect with Su Wen.

"That would be great."

The prisoner handover was complete, and Zhou Fei came over: "Commander, can we leave now?"

"Chief Shi will send a car to take us to Jiangning. Let’s wait a moment." Su Wen said, "By the way, report the situation to Uncle Hu. Also, you can tell Uncle Hu about the princess’s tomb."

Zhou Fei chuckled, understanding perfectly.

They had discovered such a large tomb and couldn’t keep it a secret. They hadn’t told Hu Yiming before because they feared he would confiscate their findings. Now that they were in Donglai City, whatever they had taken from the tomb, Hu Yiming couldn’t reclaim.

Sure enough, Su Wen heard a roar on the other end of the phone.

"Hang up, quickly hang up." Su Wen dug his ear, looking very impatient.

"The car is here." Xia Wuchang pointed to two minivans.

"Chief Shi, we’ll take our leave." Su Wen walked toward the minivans but turned back with a smile: "Chief Shi, you mentioned a reward for capturing the poaching gang, which is several hundred thousand. Don’t forget."

Shi Daming was stunned, then replied: "Understood, I’ll have the money transferred tomorrow."

Su Wen nodded seriously: "We’re not doing this for the money; we are the people’s soldiers. But Chief Shi insisted, and we couldn’t refuse. Zhou Fei, give Chief Shi your bank account number, or how will he transfer the money tomorrow?"

Shi Daming was speechless, finally understanding what it meant to lie with a straight face.

"Chief Shi, here’s my account number." Zhou Fei quickly handed over a small piece of paper and repeatedly instructed: "Don’t forget, absolutely don’t forget, or it will be inconvenient for us when we come to Donglai City on a mission next time."

Shi Daming was genuinely impressed. This special forces team, from the instructor to the captain, was not ordinary at all!

Su Wen and his group left Donglai City.

2:00 AM, Jiangning City.

"Remember to remind your chief to transfer the money. We’re not doing this for the money." Zhou Fei patted the young police officer’s shoulder, speaking with a righteous tone.

"Commander, where are we going now?" Xia Wuchang looked at Su Wen. At this time, finding accommodation was a problem.

Su Wen thought for a moment and said: "First, put the things in Jubaizhai, then find a place to stay. I’ll find you a house tomorrow."

The group arrived at Jubaizhai.

Today, Uncle Ma was on duty.

"Master, what’s this?" Ma Cheng was extremely surprised.

"Special Forces Team, I am their instructor." Su Wen briefly introduced himself, "Their military equipment will be stored here. I’ll go find a hotel for them, disturbing Uncle Ma’s rest."

"No problem, have them put the things in the backyard; it’s too conspicuous in the shop." Uncle Ma thought for a moment and added, "Master, it’s late. Why don’t they stay in the backyard? There are six empty rooms."

"The backyard?"

Su Wen was taken aback. He knew Jubaizhai had a back door leading to the backyard, but he had never been there. Today, hearing Ma Cheng mention it, he remembered there was such a place.

"The backyard has a large open space, passed down from the master’s ancestors." Ma Cheng led Su Wen and the others to the backyard, "This was built by the master over ten years ago. Although it’s a bit old, it’s still livable."

Su Wen saw a courtyard similar to a quadrangle, and upon counting, there were quite a few rooms.

Each room had a bed and a few simple pieces of furniture.

"Not bad, you can stay here for now."

"Yes, Commander!"

Su Wen watched Zhou Fei and the others settle into their rooms, feeling relieved.

"I’ll go back first!"

"Commander, see you tomorrow."

"Commander, good night!"

Su Wen yawned and said lightly, "In the future, don’t call me Commander in public, call me Boss!"

"Yes, Commander!"

Su Wen rubbed his forehead and turned to leave.

Su Wen didn’t know that as soon as he left, the twelve people surrounded Uncle Ma.

"Uncle Ma, I saw when I came in, this is an antique shop, right?" Zhou Fei had been holding back.

"Sort of! We do deal in antiques, but Master said antiques won’t be our main business in the future. Is there a problem?" Ma Cheng was puzzled.

"A big problem." Zhou Fei took out two items from his pocket, "Uncle Ma, can you appraise these? How much are they worth?"

Ma Cheng was taken aback, realizing the situation.

He carefully evaluated the items, accurately identifying their origin and age, and finally said, "Together, about 500,000 yuan!"

Zhou Fei was delighted: "500,000, ha ha!"

"Uncle Ma, what about mine?" Xia Wuchang quickly took out two items.

"Looks good, but not very valuable, about 300,000 yuan."

Xia Wuchang was embarrassed, but 300,000 yuan wasn’t bad, so he scratched his head and smiled.

"What about me?"

"400,000 yuan!"

"600,000 yuan!"

...

"These three are valuable." Ma Cheng finally looked at the three items in Huang Que’s hand, "Wow, each one is worth at least 500,000 yuan, especially this jade Buddha, which might be worth over a million. Good stuff!"

"What?" Zhou Fei was stunned, "These three items, which don’t look special, are worth so much?"

"Captain, my family used to be tomb raiders, so I know a bit about antiques. In the tomb, I picked the valuable ones." Huang Que explained.

"What? Why didn’t you tell me?" Zhou Fei almost roared, and the others seemed to feel the same.

"It’s not that I didn’t tell you, but the Commander was angry, and I didn’t dare to say!" Huang Que shrank back in fear.

"Beat him!" Zhou Fei finally spat out two words.

"No!" Huang Que panicked, "I took one extra, but I wanted to share it with everyone."

Hearing this, Zhou Fei immediately changed his tone: "Huang Que, I was just joking. You said you wanted to share, right? I think the most valuable jade Buddha should be shared."

Huang Que, seeing eleven pairs of eyes glaring at him, could only nod.
