Tomb raiding: A mere 20 is nothing!

During the brief exchange between Shen Mingchao and Wang Can, several members of the Zhang family were also exchanging silent glances.

Zhang Haike and Zhang Qiling sat side by side in the third row.

Both of them kept their eyes on Shen Mingchao, who was sitting in the second row, from beginning to end.

So, the moment her phone screen lit up, the two of them inadvertently caught a glimpse of an extremely outrageous scene in the video.

Zhang Qi frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

They were probably thinking about whether something had happened at the ancient building and whether they needed to bring people to perform a ritual.

Zhang Haike's breath hitched, and he quickly looked at Zhang Haiyan, his eyes filled with complex emotions, but they could be summarized in one sentence:

This is what you called "seduction with restraint"? This is what you call restraint?!

Zhang Haiyan nodded calmly, her eyes full of appreciation for her own erotic dance.

He even raised an eyebrow at Zhang Haike, silently showing off: How was it? Did I dance well? Wasn't I incredibly charming?

Zhang Haike was amused by his shamelessness, rolled his eyes, held up two fingers, and gestured towards his own eyes, pretending to gouge them out.

It means: Bro, this isn't seduction, it's downright disgusting!

Zhang Haiyan snorted indifferently and then gestured to Zhang Haike to look at Shen Mingchao.

At the same time, he looked down, took out his phone, and frantically typed, sending the message directly to Zhang Haike's WeChat:

[If you're not willing to go all out and seduce me, then don't hinder my progress as a top student.]

Look at her meaningful look now, she's probably still secretly enjoying it, she clearly likes it a lot.

Zhang Haike: [?]

He stared at the message on his phone, veins throbbing on his forehead, and furiously typed: "[Bro, how could you say something like that? Have you no shame?]"

[What a joke! You call that seduction? That's clearly harassment! At the very least, it's mental pollution!]

Zhang Haiyan retorted without hesitation: [If you envy me, just say so. Haike, you're really not being honest these days~]

[Oh right, I forgot to remind you, my godmother personally instructed me on this move, so be careful with your words~ Don't say anything too harsh~ Otherwise, you'd better sleep with one eye open in the middle of the night~ I'm afraid she might assassinate you in the middle of the night~]

Zhang Haike: [Bringing up Zhang Haiqi won't do any good! And let me remind you, the highest-ranking official is sitting right next to me!]

[I saw everything clearly, and the clan leader certainly saw it too. There's no point in trying to argue with me. Save your energy for how to deal with the clan leader.]

[If this guy gets serious, even if you sleep with your eyes open, you won't have a good ending.]

As if to confirm Zhang Haike's words, Zhang Haiyan suddenly felt a chill on his neck.

He looked up abruptly, only to be met with a pair of cold eyes devoid of any emotion.

If this were a game, he would probably have unlocked an epic achievement—the death stare from the patriarch.

Zhang Haiyan licked her lips, feeling a little flustered inside, but maintaining a calm demeanor.

After all, this wasn't the first time he had stepped on the clan leader's landmines.

A dog can't stop eating shit; he can't change his nature.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been known as "the most shameless man in Southeast Asia".

The clan leader must be very patient; after all these years, he should have gotten used to it by now.

Zhang Haiyan revealed a fawning smile, and was about to speak to defend himself when he heard the expressionless clan leader pronounce his punishment in two light, flat sentences.

"There might be some problem with the ancient building." Zhang Qilan stared intently at Zhang Haiyan. "Go back and investigate."

Wuhu~

Congratulations to Zhang Haiyan for successfully unlocking the second challenge – the repatriation order from the clan chief.

Zhang Haiyan felt it was very familiar.

It's similar to the saying from many years ago, "You should go back to your hometown."

Coincidentally, they even had the same destination in mind.

"No, Chieftain!" Zhang Haiyan looked at Zhang Qiyan and started rambling on:

"We've seen how dangerous that place is before. After so many years, nobody knows what the situation will be like if we go there again."

"They're both greenhorns, while I'm a veteran. I'm definitely more experienced than them. I can't be the one who's inferior to them."

"I'm skilled in both academics and martial arts, can be both male and female, and I'm willing to throw caution to the wind when it matters. Can they do that?"

"So, clan leader, don't underestimate me; I play a very important role!"

A barrage of objects rained down, causing everyone's eyes to gradually glaze over, but Zhang Qilin didn't even blink.

Just then, someone nearby suddenly undermined them.

"Hey, clan leader, don't listen to him. We won't miss him this time, whether he's here or not. Just send him to the Ancient Tower. If he's so capable, we can't waste his talent."

The voice was extremely excited, almost as if it were about to pack the person up and put them on a plane overnight to be airdropped to Zhangjia Ancient Building.

Zhang Haiyan slapped Zhang Qianjun on the shoulder and snapped, "Just drive your car! What's it to you?!"

"Do I need you to remind me?" Zhang Qianjun retorted angrily, pointing ahead. "Your head's like it has spinal problems, twisting and never coming back, huh? Open your eyes and look! There's a red light ahead, a red light!! We're waiting at a red light, can't I even say a few words?"

"You can talk, no one's shut you up!" Zhang Haiyan had just finished speaking when he caught a glimpse of light out of the corner of his eye, and quickly patted Zhang Qianjun on the shoulder: "The light's green now, shut your mouth and focus on driving."

Zhang Qianjun held his breath, but ultimately remained silent.

"Wait a minute—" After watching the show for so long, Shen Mingchao, while enjoying himself, suddenly realized a blind spot.

Although Zhang Haiyan said a lot, the meaning behind his words was not simple.

That place?

Where?

Shen Mingchao gasped. Don't let their respectable appearance fool you; she wouldn't forget their original job.

She glanced around at the people in the car and tentatively asked, "So, you're all gathered here to go to...?"

He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone else understood.

Zhang Haiyan, having let slip the secret, immediately received three death stares.

They didn't really want Shen Mingchao to know about these things.

It's not that I'm afraid people will worry.

The problem is that this matter is not clean, and as the old saying goes, it is detrimental to one's karma. The Zhang family may not care about these things, but outsiders may not be indifferent.

Shen Mingchao knows this now, but whether he can accept it is another matter.

This is their disadvantage.
