620: Chapter 616: The Strange Pebble 620: Chapter 616: The Strange Pebble “So you an…”
Ye Tian’s words left Wang Ke’er completely astonished.
So it seed that Xue Yunfu, the archaeologist, was all glitter on the outside but nothing but trash within?
Ye Tian saw the puzzled expression on Wang Ke’er’s face and knew she was reluctant to believe him, but the facts were right in front of her, leaving her no choice but to believe!
“Ke’er, do you know what I used to do?”
Ye Tian directly asked Wang Ke’er, who could only shake her head after glancing at him.
“Ke’er, I used to be a special forces operative under the state, and I was also involved in investigating this matter.
But despite the state spending three years, the missing ‘Essential Arts of Peace’ has still not been found.
This matter is very important, and it involves state secrets, I really wouldn’t lie about this!”
Although Ye Tian usually behaved nonchalantly, at monts like these, he generally would not lie.
Thus, Wang Ke’er believed what Ye Tian had said…
“So you’re saying that Xue Yunfu, this expert in archaeology, he really…”
Wang Ke’er looked around the underground chamber in shock.
If everything in this chamber was illicit, it would truly be startling!
“Exactly right!” Ye Tian nodded emphatically, “It seems that all these antiques were acquired by Xue Yunfu through unethical ans!”
“But why would he do that?
He’s already so wealthy, these antiques can’t be sold openly, what benefits could he possibly gain?”
Wang Ke’er still refused to believe it because she thought there was no justification for Xue Yunfu’s actions.
Ye Tian simply smiled without saying a word, there were so things he did not want to tell Wang Ke’er…
Xue Yunfu collected so many antiques solely to try to join Tian Yi, but all the years, the “tribute” he had found never satisfied Mr.
Deng’s needs.
Given that Mr.
Deng did not want these items, Xue Yunfu couldn’t just discard them, so he had to keep them all in the basent.
As ti went by, he had filled a whole room!
Of course, Xue Yunfu’s gathering of so many antiques could likely have another purpose — engrossed in the fantasy of immortality, he also wanted to find so clues himself.
Look at this ‘Essential Arts of Peace,’ it’s almost worn out by Xue Yunfu…
However, neither the ‘Essential Arts of Peace’ nor the other antiques in the basent interested Ye Tian.
His gaze was piercing as he scanned the room.
Wang Ke’er didn’t know exactly what Ye Tian was searching for, so she hesitantly said, “Ye Tian, now that we’ve confird that Xue Yunfu is not a good person, let’s go up and report this, let’s expose Xue Yunfu’s cris and strip this hypocrite of his facade!”
As a police officer, Wang Ke’er despised evil, and she especially loathed the hypocrisy of people like Xue Yunfu, so she was always ready to act imdiately to expose such individuals!
Yet Ye Tian shook his head and said, “Ke’er, let’s search a bit more here, there might be more discoveries to make!”
With that, Ye Tian began using his clairvoyant ability to search around the basent.
Using his clairvoyant ability was quite physically draining for Ye Tian, especially in the dimly lit basent where he had to carefully search every corner, which was a significant drain on his stamina…
Wang Ke’er did not go back to seek her colleagues but continued to follow Ye Tian’s footsteps, searching around the basent.
What Ye Tian was looking for was naturally the gift the elder from Tian Yi had given to Xue Yunfu, sothing Xue Yunfu would have hidden in a very secret place, likely sowhere in this basent.
Fortune favors the diligent, and after groping around in the basent for quite so ti, Ye Tian finally found a strange object in a corner!
— It was a pebble that looked quite ordinary but was housed in an exquisite box.
The box looked far more luxurious than the pebble, making the stone seem very peculiar regardless of the angle.
Ye Tian walked over to the box containing the pebble and carefully picked it up and opened it…
“Ye Tian, what did you find?”
Curious, Wang Ke’er ca over and shone the flashlight from her phone on the box, seeing the ordinary pebble inside, she felt sowhat astonished.
“It’s just a pebble that can be found along the river at any ti, why would it be kept in such a fine box?”
While speaking, Wang Ke’er picked up the pebble and toyed with it.
“Be careful!”
Ye Tian shouted, not expecting Wang Ke’er, as a police officer, to be completely unguarded.
The pebble was not an ordinary object, and if it were dangerous, it would spell trouble.
“Ah!”
Ye Tian tried to snatch the pebble from Wang Ke’er’s hands, but it was too late.
All he heard was Wang Ke’er’s scream before she collapsed onto the ground.
“Are you okay?
What happened?”
Such an unexpected incident had taken Ye Tian by surprise.
He quickly helped Wang Ke’er up, but by then, she was already unconscious.
Could the pebble be poisoned?
Ye Tian didn’t know the state Wang Ke’er was in, the only option was to quickly check her pulse!
Her pulse was steady and her breathing even, allowing Ye Tian to breathe a sigh of relief.
This ant that the female police officer, Wang Ke’er, was not in grave danger.
Her fainting was rely due to the impact of so force from the pebble, which could cause unconsciousness but was not lethal.
What kind of force was it?
Ye Tian also wanted to closely observe the pebble, but since Wang Ke’er had already suffered, he dared not touch it directly.
He could only use his clairvoyant ability to grasp the pebble from a distance and then slowly place it back into the box.
This pebble must be the sa one that changed Xue Yunfu’s life perspective, containing sothing extraordinary.
Ye Tian could not entrust it to anyone else and must study it carefully himself!
Having obtained what he wanted, Ye Tian was not ready to just leave because Wang Ke’er was still nestled in his arms.
He could not abandon the unconscious female officer!
“Mmm…
mmm…”
Just as Ye Tian was about to use his power to heal Wang Ke’er, she suddenly moaned.
Her eyes were half open, looking drowsy and confused.
“Are you okay?”
Seeing Wang Ke’er waking up, Ye Tian was much relieved.
He shook her gently.
To his surprise, as soon as Wang Ke’er woke up, she grabbed Ye Tian!
“Ye Tian, is mine really that small?”
The question Wang Ke’er asked left Ye Tian speechless.
Why would she ask such an absurd question at such a ti?
“This…
Let’s talk about that after we get out of here!”
Ye Tian said with a grimace, but Wang Ke’er was relentless.
“No!
We need to clear things up here today, or else I won’t let go!”
Wang Ke’er’s resolute expression left Ye Tian quite helpless.
“Ke’er, yours really isn’t small!”
In order to leave the place as soon as possible, Ye Tian began to say things he didn’t believe.
“Let’s talk about our dreams and life instead.
Let’s not dwell on sizes!”
This female officer was acting too strangely in front of him, which baffled Ye Tian!
In that mont, Ye Tian suddenly thought of the pebble.
Could all this be because Wang Ke’er had touched the pebble?
If so, what exactly were the effects of the pebble?
“Please!
Ye Tian!
Help !
You are such an amazing doctor; just a few needles will surely make mine exceptionally majestic!”
Wang Ke’er shalessly spoke such disgraceful words, completely unabashed.
If it weren’t for the effect of the pebble, she would certainly not have said such things!
“This…
Let’s wait for a while before discussing this…”
Facing such an embarrassing situation, Ye Tian could only show a bitter smile, at a loss for words…
