1357 Secret Plot
In Linxi, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling had already arrived at the hotel.
It was drizzling outside the window. It was already early autumn, and the air was already a little cold.
Xia Wanyuan shrank slightly and a coat was immediately covered on her shoulders. “I told you to wear another one, but you didn’t listen.”
“Aren’t you here?” Xia Wanyuan turned around and smiled at Jun Shiling. “It’s raining today. Let’s go over tomorrow. I’m a little sleepy.”
“Okay.”
Her due date was in two months. Xia Wanyuan was very sleepy now, and her stamina was easily exhausted.
After Xia Wanyuan fell asleep, Jun Shiling walked out of the room and called Lin Jing over.
“How’s the situation over there??”
“The main project has been cleaned up. We’re now sorting out some burial items.” Lin Jing handed the information in his hand to Jun Shiling. “Everything that has been sorted out is here.”
Jun Shiling picked up the document in front of him and flipped through it. He paused when he saw the pile of items buried with him.
They were some small toys that looked incompatible with other luxurious burial items.
However, seeing this, Jun Shiling’s eyes warmed slightly.
He had once heard Xia Wanyuan talk about playing with her younger siblings when she was young. These things were clearly what Xia Wanyuan had once liked.
It seemed that Emperor Xia Yuan’s feelings for Xia Wanyuan were indeed quite deep. After all, according to the strict etiquette requirements of the royal family at that time, these little toys could not enter a grand hall, let alone be brought into the emperor’s tomb.
Sensing Jun Shiling’s change in expression, Lin Jing had an inexplicable guess, but he did not say anything and waited quietly at the side.
“CEO Jun, there are still some bamboo slips in the tomb. Most of them can’t be recognized anymore. Only two volumes have some traces, but the words on them are a little complicated. Our experts can’t decipher them.”
“Put them here.” Jun Shiling pointed at the table.
Only Xia Wanyuan could understand those words.
“We’ve already released the news.”
“Mm.” Jun Shiling let Lin Jing walk closer and instructed some things to him. Soon, Lin Jing walked out of the hotel in the rain.
Hearing the news of Xia Wanyuan’s arrival in Linxi, Nancheng University felt another layer of haze cover them.
“Is this Xia Wanyuan done?? When can she leave?” As Emperor Yuan’s ancient tomb gradually appeared in front of the world,
only some people who did not know history and archaeology could still lie with their eyes open, guessing that the ancient tomb had been artificially faked by Xia Wanyuan.
To most experts, just through the television screen, everyone could tell that the thing excavated from the ancient tomb had a long history.
Facts spoke louder than words. The professors of Nancheng University had denied it firmly back then, but now, their faces hurt as much from the slaps as the extent of their denial back then.
“Leader, I heard that Xia Wanyuan came this time to specially watch the progress of the ancient tomb excavation. She’s in the limelight too much. If we really wait for the ancient tomb to be determined, the reputation of Qing University will be resounding from then on. How can we have a share?”
Hearing this, some leaders were worried.
The enrollment situation this year was already quite serious.
With the title of number one in the humanities, the data of Nancheng University did not decrease so obviously, but the momentum of Qing University catching up became more and more fierce.
If their team discovered another dynasty that was not recorded in China’s history, Qing University would snatch all the high-quality students from Nancheng University.
“What’s the use of just telling me?! The school raised you to bring glory to the school, but now?? The light has been snatched away by Xia Wanyuan. Aren’t you going to think of a way??”
A tall and thin professor suddenly stood up. “Vice-principal, I have an idea, but…”
“What way?” The vice-principal hurriedly looked at Professor Lin.
“Let’s talk in the office.” Professor Lin looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.
“Okay, follow me.” The vice-principal let the others leave first and brought Professor Lin into the office.
“Tell me, in this situation, what should we do to stop Xia Wanyuan??” In the vice-principal’s opinion, there was no way to salvage the current situation.
The excavation of the ancient tomb was live-streamed the entire time. Everyone saw the details of the various collections. Now that the excavation had reached the final stage, they were only waiting for the final conclusion.
Professor Lin leaned closer. “Principal, I know where their collection is. For the sake of convenience, everything is stored in the warehouse of the Linxi Museum.”
The vice-principal did not understand what Professor Lin meant at first. When he reacted, he was shocked. “You mean to steal those things?”
Professor Lin chuckled. “What are you saying? Can you steal so many things?? Jun Shiling and the rest are not stupid. We’ll probably be discovered before we can steal a few.”
The vice-principal heaved a sigh of relief. “Then what do you mean?”
“I mean, once and for all,” Professor Lin said as he made an explosive gesture.
The vice-principal was really frightened by him. This Professor Lin usually did not show himself in school. He did not expect this person to be so bold.
The vice-principal waved his hand. “I wouldn’t dare. If anything happens, I can’t bear the responsibility.”
The corners of Professor Lin’s lips curled up. “Principal, do you want to be the principal?”
The vice-principal was stunned. “What do you mean?”
Professor Lin leisurely sat on a chair at the side and poured himself a cup of tea. “What’s my surname?”
]The associate professor frowned slightly. “Lin… Lin?! You’re from the Lin family?”
Professor Lin smiled. “Principal, you’re smart. Do you really think I would have such guts if I didn’t have anything to rely on??”
“Then I won’t do it either.” The vice-principal knew that the Lin family was powerful, but if this matter was exposed, he would either lose his reputation or be imprisoned. “Professor Lin, I’ll pretend not to hear this today. Leave.”
“I can leave, but…” Professor Lin took out a photo. “I heard that the principal’s children are studying in an international school and their results are quite good. I really want to talk to them when I have time.”
The vice-principal panicked when Professor Lin said this. “What do you mean?!”
“What you mean is what the Lin family means.” Professor Lin smiled. “I’ve already said it. On one hand, it’s the position of principal and wealth, and on the other hand, it’s the lives of your entire family. Think about it yourself.”
With that, Professor Lin turned to leave. After leaving the office, he made a call and reported what had just happened.
In the evening, he received an affirmative answer from the vice-principal.
