There is an inner pocket in her overalls for storing valuables. Inside, she fished out a handkerchief¹ and pressed it on her palm to stop the bleeding. The Luoyang shovel she has is actually sharper than usual because it was improvised by the doctor to make it more solid and serviceable. If you exert more force in holding the edge, it can pierce through your palm.

The handkerchief was soaked fast, so she rubbed it and threw it casually on the ground. Then, she still managed to pick the handle of the shovel with her injured hand as she stretched to other to Xiao Xia.

“Driver Xia, give me back my toolkit. Thank you.” She said.

The archeological team was stunned. Several of them were still trembling as they whisper to each other. They had been silenced in a flash.

Lin Yuncong sneered. He was about to speak, but he saw Qin Baichuan looked at the their respective kids. Lin Siwei was staring at Qin Ge in despair, while Qin Ge remained staring at the handkerchief on the ground.

Lin Siwei instantly recognized the thing on the ground. It actually belonged to Qin Ge’s first love. This girl left Qin Ge and said she will be in Nepal for five years. She knew about this because she and her brother were also at the airport at that time. Back then, the girl stared at Qin Ge with tears on her face and said, “Wait for me to come back…”

She did not know why the girl needed to go to Nepal for five years, but she knew that even though Qin Ge did not say anything at that time, he loved this woman deeply. Her brother once told her that Qin Ge even had a tattoo of a feather⁽ʸᵘ⁾² on his chest.

Because the girl was surnamed Lin, like hers, with a first name “Yu”.

Lin Siwei actually thought that Qin Ge would never love anyone again after the girl left. But unexpectedly, he even dated a lot of women later. She thought that maybe Qin Ge just looked for a rebound³— that maybe these girls were only similar to Lin Yu, But when she saw them, it turned out that none of these women was similar to her, Hai Lan included.

That’s why she never understood Qin Ge in this matter. And she did not expect for the handkerchief to be in the hands of Hai Lan. Did Qin Ge give it to her? But how was that even possible? Maybe Hai Lan stole it herself? But… it did not seem like it. Qin Ge did not even have the slightest shock when he saw her fish that thing. She only knew that Qin Ge is angry at this moment.

Qin Ge is a man whose heart is hidden very deeply. He once kept on hanging out with several high-ranking colleagues. But before the promotion, he pulled them down one by one. Afterwards, she heard Qin Ge’s conversation with her father.

Lin Yuncong smiled and said, “Qin Ge, you shady⁴ kid!”

Qin Ge was silent for a while and then said, “There are too many people vying for one chair.” As he spoke, his eyes were light and indifferent.

Qin Ge’s expressions does not reveal any emotion⁵. Hence if people could tell that he was angry, it only means that he was fuming already.

Lin Siwei’s heart tightened and she suddenly panicked. She was not sure to whom Qin Ge’s anger was for. Was it because of Lin Yu? Or Hai Lan?

“It’s right here!”

A broken cry interrupted their scenario. Suddenly, a group of people rushed in from where they came from. That was the narrow passageway between the 18th and 19th tombs.

Everyone shocked when they saw that the newcomers were all tall and burly men with fierce looks. The most alarming was that they all held guns in their hands. They are being led by two men; an old man and a younger one. They seemed to look ordinary, but their gazes were extremely sharp as they stared at the people in front of the 19th tomb.

Hai Lan started panicking. It was obvious that these people were grave robbers, and this is no trivial matter.

Notes:

] 帕子 (pazi) this one not the small handkerchief but the rectangular cloth that can be used to cover head and neck, too

羽 (Yu) a very beautiful feather character, is actually the first name of Qin Ge’s first love, Lin Yu

the actual term used here was 移情作用 (yi qing zuoyong) or shift affection, and just the 情作用 (ying zuoyong) means empathy. But I took the liberty to translate it as rebound because that’s what she means right?

够阴 (gou yin) literally having enough yin. The 阴 (yin) of the yinyang literally means the shady side of the hill or the dark side. So gouyin is actually frequently used as an expression when you find that someone is cunning or calculating, or when someone plays tricks on your. So I only decided to used the word shady because it still retained the literal yin meaning.

喜怒不形于色 (xi nu bu xing yu se) literally means happiness and rage does not take shape. So the idiom is basically self explanatory.
