Huo Sining wasn’t visiting Fucheng for the first ti—in fact, she had once traveled to Fucheng on a business trip in her previous life, though it had been 13 years later, a few years after now.
Back then, the urban developnt plan for Fucheng City had been underway for four or five years already; so roads and subway constructions were nearing completion. Huo Sining had even accompanied two colleagues on a day tour of Fucheng. Although she had felt quite unfamiliar with Fucheng at that ti, upon reincarnating and coming to this city once more, her old mories flashed in her mind like a ti machine, becoming increasingly clear.
In fact, before coming to Fucheng, after learning so information about Fucheng City’s urban developnt plan from Gu Xu, she already had a sense of familiarity. Following that, she asked Liu Cheng to purchase a detailed map of Fucheng City.
After arriving in Fucheng late last night, she secretly studied the map. The more she looked at it, the more amazed she beca.
During her day tour in her previous life, Huo Sining and her colleagues visited several places, first going to Fucheng’s museum, then Jinlun Temple and the Bell and Drum Tower. They later passed through Nanhou Street and took the subway to the Han Princess Tomb, which had just been developed.
Huo Sining rembered that they had used a cellphone map to navigate, but the three of them, clueless about directions, ended up going the wrong way and getting lost. They wandered around Sanfang Street, made a big loop, and finally returned to the Princess’s Tomb.
The Princess’s Tomb was located at the intersection of Anmin Alley and Sanfang Street. At this ti, it hadn’t been unearthed yet, and the residents of this area were unaware that beneath their hos, a Han royal tomb was hidden.
The taxi in front stopped, and Zhang Chao and Liu Cheng quickly got out, heading towards an old residential complex in a hurry.
Huo Sining and Yue Shuwen also exited the car behind them, but Huo Sining didn’t follow Liu Cheng and the others. Instead, she wandered about the vicinity, her gaze scanning the streets and alleys, as if searching for sothing.
"Ningning, what are you looking for?" Curiosity got the better of Yue Shuwen, noticing Huo Sining’s odd behavior.
Huo Sining didn’t speak; her sight traveled down a main road for about twenty ters before suddenly fixing on a blue signpost, halting in her tracks.
Yue Shuwen followed Huo Sining’s gaze to the signpost with the characters "Anmin Alley," feeling perplexed: "Ningning, what’s going on?"
Huo Sining looked at the clear traffic sign of "Sanfang Street" on the large road, then turned her head to gaze at the Anmin Alley signpost in front of her, a smile erging on her lips:
"It seems my mory is correct—this is the place!"
With that, Huo Sining ignored Yue Shuwen’s surprised expression and casually squatted by a flower bed, pressing her hand into the soil.
Soon, the obstacles before her cleared away one by one, and under the Heavenly Eye, a hidden ancient tomb about seven or eight ters beneath the ground appeared to Huo Sining’s gaze. An excitent flashed in her eyes as she thought quietly to herself—indeed!
This was the Princess’s Tomb she had seen during her day tour of Fucheng. Although it was newly developed at the ti and so exhibits weren’t open, Huo Sining learned quite a bit from the guide back then.
The Princess’s Tomb was quite large, with expansive burial pits and even sacrificial pits, shocking the archaeological world and garnering the attention of archaeologists worldwide.
However, Huo Sining’s current focus was not on how many treasures were hidden in the tomb, but on how much area it occupied.
She moved forward while probing, occasionally stretching her hand to feel the ground.
Yue Shuwen found it stranger the more she watched, seeing Huo Sining’s movents akin to the diamond digging scenes in Oregon. Her heart skipped a beat as she secretly thought: Is there sothing valuable underground? Otherwise, why would Ningning have such a serious expression?
Huo Sining frowned, eyes filled with unprecedented seriousness, her hand probing around; she reached the passageway and main chamber, then the auricle chamber, eventually turning toward the direction Liu Cheng and Zhang Chao had left.
The tomb extended continuously beyond what Huo Sining rembered, since her visit to the Princess’s Tomb was for fun, without the intent to research it, hence her lack of attention back then.
However, at that mont, standing beneath Zhang Chao’s small house, having detected a trove of burial items, her gaze took on an indescribable peculiarity.
It looked like she had found the key to leaving Jiang Weide with nothing.
Huo Sining’s good mood was evident from her upward-curving lips.
Seeing Huo Sining’s strange actions and smiling deanor, Yue Shuwen’s curiosity grew stronger: "Ningning, did you find sothing valuable?"
Yue Shuwen knew about Huo Sining’s abilities and her diamond digging in Oregon. She wasn’t using "Dragon Vein Seeking" geomancy, but her Heavenly Eye. Seeing Huo Sining’s conduct, she realized her friend had discovered sothing underground.
Huo Sining nodded and shook her head: "It’s valuable for , but it’s definitely not good for Jiang Weide."
Yue Shuwen was confused: "What do you an?"
Huo Sining didn’t keep her guessing; she smiled at Yue Shuwen and said: "Didn’t Jiang Weide spend a lot on buying lands and properties here? He did it because he got insider information from his father-in-law about urban plans, knowing a subway will pass this street, and there’ll be a station here, right?"
Yue Shuwen nodded.
Huo Sining smiled: "I ntioned in the cab earlier—I’m here to ensure Jiang Weide loses everything. To do that, there’s only one way. Do you know what it is?"
Yue Shuwen pondered briefly and then shook her head.
Huo Sining laughed and said, "Unless they change the urban plan so the subway doesn’t pass here and there’s no station, Jiang Weide’s lands and houses will beco losses, stuck in his hands, unsellable—that way, he’ll lose everything, right?"
