Chapter 338 It’s Useless to Think Further About It
When the man in the car saw Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting, he was surprised. “Lao Da, who are they? And where is Lao San?”
“Lao San’s dead, and these two are our life-savers. Alright, we better leave right now, and I’ll tell you that details when we get back,” Lao Da said.
“What? Lao San is dead?” The man, who was called Lao Si, was astonished. Although he never liked Lao San, they had known each other for many years. It was shocking that Lao San was suddenly dead. Besides, what had happened in the ancient grave? Why were these two strangers their life-savers? Lao Si had many questions in his mind, but Lao Da wouldn’t tell him until they got back.
They all got in the car and drove to the small town. On the way, they introduced themselves to each other. Lao Da’s full name was Li Maosong. He was 42-years-old. Lao Er was Sun Chao, who was 38-years-old. Lao Si was Zhao Jiangquan, who was 29-years-old, and Lao Yao was Guo Yiyang, who was just 26-years-old.
Gu Ning introduced herself to them too, but she didn’t tell them Leng Shaoting’s full name. She just told them that Leng Shaoting’s family name was Leng. Other than that, she also told them that she and Leng Shaoting were a couple.
Li Maosong and Gu Ning exchanged phone numbers so that Li Maosong could contact her.
About 10 minutes later, they arrived at the parking lot and stopped beside Leng Shaoting’s car. Leng Shaoting got out and moved the wooden box to the trunk of his car. They had prepared a big suitcase in the trunk. Leng Shaoting placed the ancient objects into the big suitcase and then carried it back to their room in the hotel. It would be too noticeable if they carried the wooden box.
Gu Ning ordered two rooms for the four men, and the two rooms were right next to the one where Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting stayed. Gu Ning did it on purpose to calm the four men’s worries.
After that, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting went back to their room, while Li Maosong and the others went into the same room, because they had a lot to discuss.
“What did you get?” Zhao Jiangquan asked the moment they walked inside.
“Nothing,” Li Maosong replied.
“What? Why?” Zhao Jiangquan was shocked.
“We almost died in there! Who cares about the antiques?!” Sun Chao said seriously. He then told Zhao Jiangquan what they had been through in the ancient grave. Zhao Jiangquan rounded his eyes in shocked and felt terrified. A zombie? Jesus, it is real? And the zombie killed Lao San?
Zhao Jiangquan didn’t blame them because they had made the deal with Gu Ning, because he would have done the same thing. Life was more valuable than money after all! Lao San had risked his life for money, and had been killed in the end.
“Nevertheless, can we trust them?” Zhao Jiangquan asked. He was worried that Gu Ning would lie to them.
“I trust them. If they didn’t want to give us the hundred million yuan, they could have just abandoned us in the grave. Moreover, she did rescue us after all. If she is unwilling to give us the money, we won’t say anything,” Li Maosong said. “Alright, it’s useless to think further about it. Let’s have a rest now!”
They knew that it was meaningless to think about it right now, and they all agreed with Li Maosong, so they stopped discussing it. Lao Er and Lao Si left for another room afterwards.
That night, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting slept like babies, but the four men could barely sleep. Although it was useless to be worried, they couldn’t help doing it.
The next morning around 7 am, the four men got up and gathered together in a room, waiting for Gu Ning.
Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting made it a habit to get up early, so they were both awake at 7 am. Gu Ning understood that Li Maosong and his friends had to be anxious throughout the whole night. Thus she didn’t want to let them wait any longer, and called Li Maosong once she was prepared. However, it was too early, and the bank wasn’t open yet. Therefore, they had to wait till 9 am.
Li Maosong and his friends immediately went outside, waiting for them in the pa.s.sage after he hung up the call with Gu Ning. Thus the moment that Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting stepped out of their room, they saw the four men in the pa.s.sage, which was quite amusing.
“The bank isn’t open yet. Let’s go check out and have breakfast first!” Gu Ning said.
“Sure,” the four men answered.
Afterwards, they checked out together and went to have breakfast. Then they drove to the bank without delay. At 9 am, the bank opened. Gu Ning and Li Maosong went to complete the transfer procedure. When the money was transferred to their accounts, Li Maosong and his friends were finally relieved.
“Miss Gu, Mr. Leng, thank you so much for saving our lives this time!” Li Maosong thanked Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting seriously. No matter what, they had earned a lot this time. Sun Chao and the others also thanked Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting.
“You’re welcome,” Gu Ning said. “Goodbye then.”
After that, they separated, and Gu Ning along with Leng Shaoting went back to the capital.
“Are you going to put those ancient objects in Xiangyun Antique-store, or keep it elsewhere?” Leng Shaoting asked.
“I’ll choose some to put in Xiangyun Antique-store, and we can keep the rest in your house for now,” Gu Ning said. She didn’t want to attract too much attention, because it was illegal to dig up ancient graves.
“Sure,” Leng Shaoting said.
After they arrived at the capital, they went to the antique street first.
There was a big suitcase of antiques in their car, and it wasn’t safe. Thus Leng Shaoting would stay in the car, while Gu Ning left for a while. Actually, Gu Ning deliberately avoided Leng Shaoting, because she planned to take out some ancient objects from her telepathic eyes s.p.a.ce. And it wouldn’t be convenient if Leng Shaoting was with her. Most importantly, it would be strange if she carried a pile of antiques around all the time, so she had to avoid Leng Shaoting.
Gu Ning went to buy a 26 inch suitcase first and put several antiques in it before she walked ahead. When she walked past a public washroom, she went inside and secretly took out more antiques from her telepathic eyes s.p.a.ce. Afterwards, she went straight to Xiangyun Antique-store.
However, the moment that Gu Ning arrived, she saw a person arguing in Xiangyun Antique-store. There was a group of onlookers gathered around at the door of Xiangyun Antique-store. And a man inside was arguing in anger, “Chen Darong! Master Luo just sold Xiangyun Antique-store, and you are already starting to ruin its reputation! This teapot is obviously a fake, but you claim that it is real. I wasted two hundred thousand yuan on it, and you need to compensate me! Otherwise, I’ll call the police.”
