There were inner pockets in her work clothes for the staff to put their valuables in. She took out a handkerchief from her pocket and pressed it firmly against her palm to staunch the bleeding. The shovel had been improved on by the professor. Thus, it was sharper and stronger. Had she used more force, her entire palm would’ve been pierced.

The entire handkerchief was soaked. She rubbed it one last time before throwing it onto the ground. She then picked up the shovel with her injured hand and walked towards Xiao Xia. She extended her other hand and said lightly, “Driver Xia, please give me the tool kit.”

The members of the archaeological team were stunned. The few people who had still been whispering turned silent.

Lin Yuncong sneered and was about to speak. Seeing that he was angry, Qin Baichun frowned and looked at Lin Siwei and Qin Ge. She was staring at Qin Ge with a sad expression. He, on the other hand, was looking at the handkerchief on the ground.

Lin Siwei knew the significance of that piece of fabric. It belonged to Qin Ge’s first love. The girl had gone to Nepal for five years. She and her brother were at the airport when that happened. The girl’s face was wet with tears. “Wait for me to come back,” was what she said before they parted.

She didn’t know why the girl had to head to Nepal, but she knew that Qin Ge, who hadn’t uttered a single word at that time, loved her. Her brother had once told her that Qin Ge had a tattoo of a feather on his stomach.

The girl had a similar name to her, her surname was Lin and her given name was Yu.

She thought that after Lin Yu left, Qin Ge wouldn’t date anyone else again. However, he dated many women afterwards. She thought that it was because they were similar to Lin Yu, but none of them were similar to her. Hai Lan wasn’t an exception.

She had never understood Qin Ge. She also never expected to see the handkerchief he had treasured in Hai Lan’s hands. Did Qin Ge give it to her? But that was impossible! Did Hai Lan steal it from him? It didn’t seem like it. Qin Ge didn’t have a trace of surprise on his face. She could only see that he looked angry.

Qin Ge was a man who hid everything deeply. He was once very close to a few senior cadets with the same background, but he pulled them down one by one until he had gotten promoted. After that event, she heard the conversation between her father and Qin Ge.

At that time, Yuncong laughed, “Qin Ge, you son of a b*tch.”

Qin Ge had stayed silent for a while, before saying, “There were many people, but there was only one seat.”

As he spoke this, his eyes were indifferent.

This man was impossible to read. His expression of happiness and anger were the same. If people could tell that he was angry, it only meant that he was extremely angry.

Her heart constricted and she started panicking. She wasn’t sure who Qin Ge’s anger was directed at. Was it for Lin Yu or for Hai Lan?

“It’s right here.”

Following the loud shout, a group of ten people poured in from the passage behind them. It was a narrow passage stationed between the 18th and 19th tombs.

Everyone was surprised. The people were all tall men with fierce looks. The most frightening thing was that they all held guns in their hands. The group seemed to be led by two men, a young one and an older one, they had ordinary appearances but their eyes were bright. They stared at the people that gathered in front of the 19th tomb.

Hai Lan felt her heart palpitating. She knew that these people were tomb raiders and that it wasn’t a trivial situation.
