After stating his position, Xie Xuzhi had completely run out of patience, rubbing his temples subconsciously: "Is there anything else?"
Xie Xuzhi’s clear displeasure was evident, and Xuan Chu could sense it. After a few seconds of silence, he shook his head and then stepped aside to make way.
Watching Xie Xuzhi walk away without hesitation, Xuan Chu sighed.
The stance of the Heavenly Destiny Guardian was starkly opposite to that of those executing the mission.
Especially since there could be countless lives involved in between, he was afraid he would never be able to convince the people from the Special Administration Bureau.
By the ti midnight arrived, all mbers of the archaeological team had returned.
When the Murong Family learned that Xie Xuzhi was still around, they left with their people imdiately, hinting a sense of "like kings avoiding each other."
After wrapping up the final matters, Yun Ran prepared to hitch a ride on Xie Xuzhi’s private jet.
Just as she had packed everything, the voice of Wuzi Changli suddenly entered Yun Ran’s ears.
"The ground beneath your feet holds several bottles, inscribed with the treasure’s information inside. If you have the ambition, the treasure is yours!"
Yun Ran paused in her steps, her gaze fixed directly toward the direction of the hill she had visited earlier.
While Wan Ji was helping move stuff, he noticed Yun Ran suddenly stop and carefully asked, "Lady Yun, did you forget sothing?"
"It’s nothing, you go ahead and move the stuff onto the plane."
Having followed Yun Ran down to the tomb equipped by Wuzi Changli, Wan Ji had seen and heard certain things not ant for him.
Plus, with his keen perception, he had been specially approved to work mundane tasks at the Special Administration Bureau; this was sowhat a promotion for him.
At this mont, he completely regarded Yun Ran as his benefactor, naturally doing whatever Yun Ran asked.
Doctor Yu and his team were waiting already. Although they were very reluctant to see Yun Ran leave, they knew that soone as capable as her couldn’t possibly stay here applying great talents to small ends.
The two Little Papern left behind by Yun Ran also reluctantly flew forward, rubbing Yun Ran’s hand.
Yun Ran glanced at Doctor Yu, who instantly understood and approached quietly, whispering, "If there’s anything you need to handle, just say the word. If it’s doable, I’ll make sure it gets done!"
After speaking, Doctor Yu’s gaze discreetly lingered on Xie Xuzhi in the distance.
He had never t Xie Xuzhi, but as soone who had lived for decades, he had good judgnt and could tell Yun Ran was working for Xie Xuzhi.
With the Murong Family having been present earlier, and now the Xie Family was here too.
Although he wouldn’t openly take sides, given that Yun Ran was affiliated with the Xie Family, he naturally leaned a bit towards them.
As long as the demands from the Xie Family weren’t too unreasonable, he could manage them.
Yun Ran burst into laughter, probably not expecting herself to hold such significant weight in Doctor Yu’s eyes.
"You’re overthinking it. The struggles of those big shots have nothing to do with us. I’m just a worker; I don’t need to worry about the boss’s issues."
This clearly told Doctor Yu to stick to his own principles—she was no lobbyist.
Although Doctor Yu hadn’t been with Yun Ran for long, he found her very agreeable, even entertaining the thought of naming her as his successor.
Now that Yun Ran had explicitly assured she wouldn’t put him in a difficult position, Doctor Yu’s gaze towards her grew even more approving.
"I just wanted to tell you, the items you’ve dug up this ti, especially the ones in the bottles, are best not passed through others’ hands."
Doctor Yu’s forehead furrowed imdiately, becoming a rather stubborn old man when it ca to these ancient artifacts.
"Did soone say sothing?"
Yun Ran shook her head: "No, there should be clues about the treasure inside the bottles. I suspect the Murong Family ca here for them."
Doctor Yu’s trust in Yun Ran had reached its peak, with not the slightest doubt about her words.
"No wonder, that would make sense of the previous events. Rest assured, I’ll handle this situation properly."
Yun Ran wouldn’t instruct Doctor Yu on what to do; she rely gave him a heads-up to prevent being plotted against.
What he chose to do next was up to him.
After speaking, Yun Ran headed toward the plane.
Doctor Yu watched Yun Ran and her group board the plane, watched the aircraft take off, and watched it slowly shrink in the distance until it was out of sight; still, he stood there.
A student, puzzled, walked up and draped his coat over Doctor Yu: "Teacher, it’s chilly at night; you should head back."
Doctor Yu turned and saw the student who misunderstood the emotional atmosphere, breaking the faint lancholy of their departure.
"I was just about to compose a poem, and you interrupted !"
Student: ...
No wonder so used to say the teacher had a touch of lancholic elegance—it was true.
anwhile, on the plane, Yun Ran began raiding Xie Xuzhi’s private fridge, taking out plenty of food, acting as if she was at her own house.
Xie Xuzhi, holding so docunts, paid no attention to Yun Ran rustling around eating like a mouse beside him.
Ginsengfruit was sitting on the couch, continuing the ga he was playing earlier.
Xie Xuzhi’s bodyguard, though expressionless, had a look of shock almost spilling from his eyes.
Is this the sa boss who is usually so strict about the work environnt? Especially with Yun Ran eating chips, the crackling sound!!!
After wrapping up the last bit of business, Xie Xuzhi glanced at Yun Ran who clearly didn’t know the aning of politeness.
He considerately pushed the snack cabinet prepared for her in front of Yun Ran.
"These were prepared for you, eat slowly, I’m going to rest for a while."
After saying this, he turned and headed back to his room.
Leaving Yun Ran looking sowhat puzzled at the closed door, then at the snack cabinet taller than her.
Is the service really this good now? The boss even thoughtfully prepared snacks!
Ginsengfruit also looked over, his eyes lighting up when he saw the snack cabinet.
He quickly dropped the ga he hadn’t finished for a long ti and ran over excitedly.
"Are all these for us to eat?"
Yun Ran, no longer surprised, adopted a composed deanor of hiding her capabilities: "Of course, don’t you know who your host is?
I am a key business pillar. Do you know what that ans? That’s soone the boss would desperately want to keep by any ans. These are all my benefits, eat as you like!"
