Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1006: Chapter 1007: The Job is Done

The next evening, a team from the city came down, drove to the town, and went straight to the public security office.

”We’ve received information that an ancient tomb was discovered on one of the mountains under the jurisdiction of Peace Town. We need your cooperation to take us to the site for investigation, and also, we need to close the mountain temporarily.”

”What? An ancient tomb?”

”Yes. The person who reported it is very credible. We believe they wouldn’t joke about something like this.”

”And you are?”

”Professor Liu Hanqing from M City University, this gentleman is the Steward from M City Town’s F sector, and we also have a few colleagues from the city public security office and the museum,” Liu Hanqing pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose, adding, ”I am in charge of this investigation.”

”Nice to meet you, Professor Liu, Steward, gentlemen. You must be tired. How about we have dinner first?”

”No, let’s check it out first, and also, please close off the mountain to prevent any damage to the ancient tomb,” Liu Hanqing said with a stern face.

Chiang Xiao and her team learned about this only on New Year’s Eve.

Although she had been waiting, she was also worried that the higher-ups wouldn’t react quickly enough.

Plus, she was watching the road leading up the mountain and had asked Xu Linjiang to watch another path leading out of the village. Cui Dayuan and his group had just gone up the mountain at noon today, and hadn’t come down yet, probably still inside the tomb.

If the responsible team didn’t arrive quickly enough, they might just slip away.

But now the timing was perfect.

Although it was getting late, they were a large group and had to go up the mountain under Liu Hanqing’s insistence, so a procession of more than twenty people made their way up.

Chiang Xiao intended to dissociate herself from the situation, so she didn’t go up with the crowd.

About three hours later, when it had gotten completely dark, Bai Gu Mountain suddenly became busy, and three gunshots were heard.

The villagers all went to see what was happening, and Chiang Xiao followed in the crowd.

Armed with flashlights, it was only at the foot of the mountain that they discovered the people from the town public security office and the city public security office had apprehended several tomb raiders.

The suspects were handcuffed, their hands secured behind their backs as they were led down.

”Hey, aren’t those the professors who stayed at Uncle Songtao’s place before?” Aunt Juan suddenly exclaimed.

”They’re not professors at all! They’re con artists, tomb raiders!”

”Fellow villagers, these individuals intended to damage the ancient tomb on the mountain and even planned to steal the burial artifacts to sell to foreigners! This is illegal. These ancient tombs belong to the G Family and have archaeological significance. Everything inside is property of the G Family, which can help us understand ancient civilization. They are treasures of our own country!” Liu Hanqing spoke loudly, ”No one is allowed to take these artifacts for themselves! These people are scum! Awaiting them is severe punishment!”

This was a warning to others as well.

Chiang Xiao’s heart settled down, and she couldn’t help but be amused.

With Cui Dayuan and the others caught, she was curious to see what moves Deng Qingjiang and the boss behind these people had left!

Indeed, it was she who had instructed Zhao Xin to handle this matter, and it was not entirely on his own; Chiang Xiao had asked him to seek out Kuang Yunxian as well.

Kuang Yunxian himself was a professor at M City University, and certainly knew who to contact for such matters.

She had repeatedly emphasized the need for speed.

It was the new year, and no one should wait until after the Spring Festival to act, or it would be too late.

Fortunately, Kuang Yunxian was extremely reliable.

Everything had worked out just as she had intended.

”Does Uncle Songtao have any connection with them?” someone in the crowd asked.
