Chapter 287: Chapter 287: This Time, See Where You Can Run

With Sheng Xing’s words trailing off, the room fell into silence.

He looked at Bo Leng, a sharpness glinting in his vigorous eyes.

By taking over his position, Bo Leng would possess infinite wealth.

Sheng Xing refused to believe he wouldn’t be tempted; after all, in these five years, he had not let Bo Leng learn any other skills. Bo Leng could only raid tombs, becoming a thoroughgoing tomb robber.

Under Sheng Xing’s expectant gaze, Bo Leng spoke indifferently, "Uncle Xing, I’m not interested in your position. The reason I came to you is to say that I want..."

Sheng Xing’s phone buzzed urgently. He raised a hand to signal Bo Leng to remain quiet and answered the call, "Yu, what’s the matter?"

"Dad, I got my hands on five cultural relics in the ancient tomb, but someone has discovered me, come and save me!"

Sheng Xing stood up abruptly, "Wait for me, I’ll send Bo Leng to rescue you right now."

After hanging up, he looked at Bo Leng with a serious expression, "Yu is disobedient. She went to steal cultural relics but hasn’t even pulled it off, and now she’s been found out."

Bo Leng understood Sheng Xing’s meaning: he was to bring her back safely.

He nodded slightly; after all, he owed the Sheng family father and daughter his life.

It seemed he would have to find another time to speak his mind.

He got up and hurriedly left the inn.

Sheng Xing stood before the window, peering out to see Bo Leng’s retreating figure, his eyes filled with a dark chill.

He could guess what Bo Leng wanted to say, which genuinely surprised him.

Sheng Yu had told him that Bo Leng had taken a liking to Mu Anyan.

He originally thought Bo Leng had forgotten everything about the past, but he never imagined that Bo Leng would fall for Mu Anyan once again.

Although he had forgotten this woman’s existence, one look and the body and soul would still unconsciously draw near.

After Bo Leng rescued Sheng Yu, they needed to leave this place quickly.

He called Sheng Yu, "When you see Bo Leng, don’t mention anything about stealing the relics. He’s not with us in heart now."

Sheng Yu asked anxiously, "What should I do then?"

"When we get back to Sucheng, I’ll find an opportunity for you two to be together. Once the rice is cooked, everything will be settled."

After saying that, Sheng Xing made another call, "We need to leave ahead of schedule!"

...

Bo Leng activated the map on his phone, confirmed Sheng Yu’s location, and headed straight there.

Half an hour later, he found Sheng Yu in a thicket of bushes.

Sheng Yu looked excitedly towards the man, her eyes lighting up, "Brother Leng, you came for me! I knew you were worried about me!"

Bo Leng gave her a glance, "It was your father who sent me."

But Sheng Yu didn’t care what he said. She preferred to think that Bo Leng had come out of concern for her.

Bo Leng went to take her backpack, but Sheng Yu refused, "I’ll carry it myself. It’s just flashlights and such, not heavy at all. Sigh, didn’t steal a thing and got discovered, my luck is truly terrible."

Bo Leng didn’t doubt the truth of her words and quickly led her away.

On their way, they encountered three archaeologists searching for them. Bo Leng knocked them out and proceeded forward.

Close to the pawnshop, Bo Leng received a message from Sheng Xing, directing them to meet at the port.

Thus, Bo Leng and Sheng Yu hurried through the bustling streets.

From half a street away, An Yan caught a glimpse of the man’s tall figure.

Her heart tightened, and she followed.

At the same time, Professor He called her.

She answered and heard the news about the theft of five relics from the ancient tomb.

An Yan was seething with anger.

Bo Leng had promised not to touch those items, yet now, hadn’t he done just that?

She cynically thought to herself how foolish she was to have believed the words of a tomb robber.

She couldn’t let the fact that he reminded her of Fu Shiyan give her false hope.

He could never be Fu Shiyan; at least Fu Shiyan kept his word, while Bo Leng was nothing but a tomb robber without a shred of credibility.

An Yan was furious as she gave chase; she had to recover the artifact.

Suddenly, two men blocked her path.

An Yan looked at the bruised and swollen-faced man before her—it was Dongzi, the same man who had tried to teach her a lesson in the alley that day.

"You dare to come back?"

Out of nowhere, Dongzi raised a dagger and stabbed his own arm, then cried out in agony, "Murder, murder!"

Another man pointed at An Yan, "It was her, she attacked my brother."

An Yan’s cold eyes narrowed abruptly; she understood that these two were staging a scam.

She glared coldly at the man pointing at her, "Get lost!"

The man let out a light sneer, "Come on, everyone, look, she’s wounded my brother and still so arrogant!"

An Yan couldn’t be bothered to argue and lifted her foot to walk away.

The man grabbed her arm, "You think you can run?"

An Yan shook off his grip, landing a straight punch on his nose, making it bleed instantly.

People around began accusing An Yan.

"You stabbed someone, and now you’re hitting people, is there no law left!"

"That’s right, you resort to violence at the slightest disagreement, and you still want to run?"

"Yes, we can’t let her go, someone call the police."

...

An Yan looked forward, but Bo Leng was no longer visible amidst the crowd.

She turned to the people around her, her expression one of urgent concern, "These two are tomb robbers; their group has stolen five artifacts. Now they’re trying to hold me up so their accomplices can escape. Think about it logically, please—why would I use a knife when I can settle things with my fists? Fists might be a civil dispute at most, but a knife—that’s criminal."

"Yeah! I remember now, isn’t that Master Guyue? I knew she looked familiar!"

"I’ve recognized her too, don’t be used by those with ulterior motives; I’ve seen her appraise treasures."

"That’s right, that’s Mu Anyan, chairman of Fu Corporation, a spokesperson for the new era’s women!"

"These two definitely have an issue, we can’t let them escape!"

...

An Yan nodded to the crowd, "Thank you for understanding. Please call the police, we can’t let these two tomb robbers go."

Finished, she made her way through the crowd, running in the direction Bo Leng had disappeared.

Meanwhile, Dongzi and his accomplice were surrounded by the people and couldn’t escape.

An Yan was still a step too late; Bo Leng had already left Banqiao Town by boat.

She returned to the inn, fuming with anger, where Fu Jinqiao and Mu Qianfan had also returned.

"This Bo Leng, didn’t he say he wouldn’t touch these artifacts anymore?" Fu Jinqiao paced back and forth, hands on hips, clearly exasperated.

An Yan washed her hands and dried them, "You believed a tomb robber?"

"True, and I thought Bo Leng was different! From now on, the only tomb robber I’ll believe in is Tu Long!" Fu Jinqiao expressed some regret, "I was hoping to encounter Tu Long, you know?"

An Yan tapped the front of Fu Jinqiao’s forehead with her finger, "Haven’t I told you Tu Long isn’t a tomb robber?"

"No, no, no! In my heart, he is a tomb robber, the really badass kind! That kind with the bandit’s swagger, overwhelmingly drawing me in."

An Yan frowned, "What if Tu Long turns out to be a woman?"

Fu Jinqiao waved a finger, "No way, he’s definitely a man, two meters tall with a cold and fierce face."

An Yan was a bit speechless and glanced at her while opening the laptop, "The one you’re describing sounds like The Hulk."

Fu Jinqiao: "...Younger Auntie, what are you doing?"

An Yan watched the lines of code on her computer screen, a trace of frosty curvature on her lips, "I’m going to track down those vermin."

She hacked into the National Security Bureau, accessed Sky Net, pinpointed Banqiao Town, and searched for Bo Leng and his accomplices’ movements from the past hour.

Half an hour later, An Yan finally spotted them on the Qiaozhen Port’s surveillance.

She locked onto their position.

You dogs, let’s see where you can run now!
