Chapter 143 Clues about Tomb Robbery
Just as the two people outside were about to have a big quarrel, the tightly closed door slowly opened.

Zhang Mei and Shen Yi both turned their heads to look over.

Zhu Shangqing appeared at the door, and Shen Anran slowly walked out from behind her with a hint of alienation on her face.

Shen Yi narrowed his eyes, his face looked a little unfriendly, "Shen Anran, why are you here?!"

Shen Anran didn't even look at Shen Yi, but said to Zhang Mei: "If a person doesn't have any evil thoughts in his heart, or has strong self-control, he won't be easily affected."

Zhang Mei frowned, "What do you mean?" She glanced at Shen Yi, then set her eyes on Zhu Shangqing, "Shen Anran, I asked you to deal with this woman."

Shen Anran took a step forward and waved his hand in front of Shen Yi. A faint black smoke floated out from his forehead and quickly disappeared into the air.

Shen Yi grabbed Shen Anran's hand and asked, "Shen Anran, what on earth do you want to do?!"

At this moment, Shen Anran frowned suddenly, and then she tilted her head to look at Zhang Mei with a scrutinizing look in her eyes. After a few seconds, she chuckled, "So that's how it is."

Zhang Mei felt a little chilly when Shen Anran looked at her.

Before everyone could react, Shen Anran had already grabbed Shen Yi's wrist with her backhand. Then, she quickly made a few gestures in the air with her other hand, and a pattern with a faint golden light appeared under her fingertips. The next second, the pattern was hit into Shen Yi's chest.

This was not over yet. Shen Anran placed her fingers on the wrist that she had grasped Shen Yi with. Under her fingertips were the pulsating meridians. She pressed hard and silently recited a few mantras.

Shen Yi's expression became very gloomy. Shen Anran's grip on his hand was quite strong. He struggled twice but failed. However, he could not show it too obviously, after all, there were people watching next to him.

"Shen..."

Just when Shen Yi opened his mouth to call Shen Anran's name, the other party suddenly let go of his hand.

Shen Anran's mood changed significantly. She said to Zhang Mei, "So you already knew it."

Zhang Mei was confused, "Know what?"

Shen Anran didn't say anything more. He glanced at Zhu Shangqing beside him and said, "I have already taken care of everything you asked me to do. The next development is up to you to solve."

Zhang Mei was surprised and said, "Is it all right now? I didn't even see what you did!"

Zhu Shangqing, who had been silent the whole time, said to Zhang Mei, "I'm sorry about what happened with Mr. Shen." She bowed to Zhang Mei sincerely, "It's true that I had selfish motives and deliberately led her there."

Zhang Mei couldn't help but puff out her chest, and from her expression, she seemed quite satisfied.

But the other person was not happy. Shen Yi said to Zhu Shangqing anxiously, "I believe you are not that kind of person. Did someone force you to say that?!"

Zhu Shangqing pursed his lips and lowered his voice, "Boss Shen, I have decided to resign. I will send you the resignation notice later. I will prepare the handover documents in the next month."

"No!" Shen Yi refused subconsciously, and paused for a few seconds, realizing that he had lost his composure. "Xiao Zhu, how about I give you a 5% salary increase?!"

Zhu Shangqing shook his head.

What happened next was a personal matter between them, so Shen Anran just left. She walked forward quickly with light steps, and the arguments coming from behind did not affect her at all.

After leaving the hotel, Shen Anran stood in the sun, looking at the crystal pendant and the jade bracelet in her hand. After thinking for a while, she put these things back, took out her mobile phone and dialed a number.

"Uncle Jiang, can you help me make an appointment with Mr. Xuzhou?"

Jiang Yuan was stunned and stood up subconsciously, "An Ran, have you found any clues?"

"Yes, it's about tomb robbery." Jiang Yuan's eyebrows were a little more happy, and his tone was a little urgent. "Okay, I'll talk to him right away. Can we make an appointment for this afternoon?"

Shen Anran said calmly: "In an hour, he will have time. I'll send you the address."

"Okay, okay." After a pause, Jiang Yuan talked about another matter, "An Ran, will today's hot search have any impact on you? I have asked someone to remove it."

“It costs money, doesn’t it?”

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "It's not much money."

Shen Anran said: "These will not have any impact on me. Uncle Jiang, don't waste this money."

Jiang Yuan understood Shen Anran's personality and knew that she would not say those polite words. Since she said so, Jiang Yuan agreed without any doubt.

When Shen Anran saw Xu Zhou, his eyes were shining. He looked at Shen Anran as if he had seen some treasure, and was extremely excited.

"Hello, Mr. Xu."

Xu Zhou quickly said, "You're too polite. Just call me uncle." He quickly got to the point, "I heard from Jiang Yuan that you have any news about tomb robbers?"

Shen Anran took out the pendant and jade bracelet from her bag and placed them on the table in front of Xu Zhou. "These are the cultural relics stolen this time."

Xu Zhou instantly became serious. He took it in his hand and looked at it, then took out a small lamp from his bosom to look around. After a while, he began to mutter to himself: "It's incredible. The dark patterns inside are simply ingenious, and the craftsmanship is also rare and precise..."

"If all the stolen cultural relics are found, the identity of the tomb owner will be revealed soon."

"It's the princess." Shen Anran said directly, "Princess Fuling, the last princess of Beichang Kingdom."

Xu Zhou was stunned for a moment, "How did you figure that out?"

Shen Anran explained: "These cultural relics have been in contact with her body for nearly a thousand years and have long been infected by resentment. That's how I saw it."

Xu Zhou looked at Shen Anran with a brighter look in his eyes. "Miss Shen, do you want to join our archaeological team? Your skills are exactly what we need!"

Shen Anran shook her head, "I have my own career."

Xu Zhou felt a little regretful, but he said, "Then if we need your help in the future, can you lend a hand?"

"can."

Xu Zhou gradually began to feel ecstatic, but when he heard Shen Anran's next words, his heart couldn't help but sink a little.

Shen Anran: "But it costs money." After a pause, she smiled again, "I will give you the most affordable price."

Xu Zhou took a deep breath and said, "That's fine, that's fine too."

"Then let's talk about the price this time?"

Xu Zhou almost choked on his own saliva. He coughed twice and smiled reluctantly, "Okay, let's talk."

Shen Anran slowly extended a finger.

Xu Zhou swallowed and said carefully: "One, ten thousand?"
