Tomb raiding: A mere 20 is nothing!

Oh, he's that old.

People calling him "uncle" is already too young.

But this title didn't sound pleasant to him; he still preferred to be called "Brother Zhang."

Zhang Haiyan's brows furrowed into a knot. He touched the mask on his face and felt that it looked too old, even though he was in his prime according to the Zhang family's age calculations.

As for why he was here, it was because he couldn't resist his curiosity. Zhang Haike and Zhang Qianjun's unusual behavior did not escape his notice.

Zhang Haiyan had a strong premonition that this girl of unknown origin would unleash a huge storm in the future.

Zhang Haiyan wouldn't miss such an interesting opportunity. Although Zhang Haike was extremely wary of him, fearing he might act recklessly, he still managed to find out some information—Wu Xie had arranged a ride for Shen Mingchao to Yucun.

This was a perfect opportunity to get close to Shen Mingchao. After much thought, he decided to pull off a switcheroo.

Last night, Zhang Haiyan secretly traveled from Hong Kong to Hangzhou and quietly broke into the driver's house.

The man was snoring loudly in bed, and the man thoughtfully injected him with sleeping pills, enough to keep him asleep for days. He also disguised himself to look like the man.

At eight o'clock in the morning, he took the man's car keys and drove to the entrance of Wushanju on time.

Everything went more smoothly than expected, if you ignored the buzzing cell phone in his pocket.

Zhang Haiyan could guess the contents without even opening it. It was likely that Zhang Haike and his men had already seen through his diversionary tactic, knew that he hadn't gone on the mission, and were frantically trying to contact him.

This was within his expectations.

Annoyed, Zhang Haiyan simply turned off her phone.

I don't know what Zhang Haike is so nervous about. He won't hurt Shen Mingchao. For the sake of the clan leader, he will send Shen Mingchao to Yucun safely.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Shen Mingchao sleeping in the passenger seat. The girl was wearing a loose-fitting sweater with a rainbow pattern. Her sleeping face was beautiful and serene, her skin was fair and supple, and she exuded youthful energy.

Zhang Haiyan had a good first impression of Shen Mingchao, but on the surface, he couldn't see anything special about him.

A Qilin girl, purer than the clan leader, who had been living away from home? An irresistible bloodline attraction that even Zhang Haike and Zhang Qianjun couldn't resist? And that terrifying healing ability?

Any one of these points alone would be enough to shock the Zhang family. The Zhang family has existed for so long, what kind of extraordinary people haven't they seen?

How could such an ordinary girl possess such miraculous abilities?

Zhang Haiyan was somewhat skeptical.

It's not that he suspected Zhang Haike and Zhang Qianjun of faking it, but some things are just too bizarre. No matter how eloquently others describe them, he can't give up until he verifies them himself.

If this is true, they shouldn't be the most excited. The Zhang family's pursuit of bloodlines is extremely fanatical. If those old folks in the deep mountains and forests knew about it, they would probably rush out of the mountains like ants on a hot plate.

Just thinking about that scene made Zhang Haiyan laugh; he was the kind of person who loved to stir up trouble.

After driving for more than two hours, Zhang Haiyan pulled into a service area. He turned to the side and silently stared at Shen Mingchao for a long time, his raised hand hovering in front of the girl, about to fall.

Judging from the state of those two people, this is an extremely dangerous and tempting Pandora's box.

If he were to open the Pandora's Box now, he would have to bear the full consequences.

When Zhang Haiyan was young, he liked to act on impulse. Although his impulsive nature changed as he got older, he still acted eccentrically and recklessly, without considering the consequences.

So he wasn't hesitating, but rather giving himself time to prepare. Zhang Haike wasn't one to exaggerate, and it was said that such pronouncements would have extremely serious consequences for him.

Is it extremely serious?

Let him experience just how serious it is.

Zhang Haiyan suddenly curled into a wicked smile, his eyes filled with madness, and the moment his hand fell, Pandora's box was opened.

A strange, indescribable animated image suddenly appeared before Zhang Haiyan's eyes. His head suddenly went blank, and he felt numb from head to toe.

He abruptly pulled his hand back, slumped into the chair, and gasped for breath as if he had just escaped death.

So that's the kind of influence it has? No wonder I couldn't bring myself to say it.

Wow, that's interesting, really interesting.

Zhang Haiyan quickly combed his tangled hair back up. After his breathing gradually calmed down, a glint of excitement suddenly flashed in his eyes. He hadn't experienced the feeling of losing control in a long time.

Even though he was over a hundred years old, Zhang Haiyan still had a rebellious streak. As if possessed, he put his hand on her again.

This time the stay will be longer.

Zhang Haiyan bit her lower lip, using the stinging pain to stay awake. At first, the content of the scene was still within acceptable limits.

Just as that snow-white forbidden zone was about to be revealed, he gasped and quickly withdrew his hand as if electrocuted.

With one hand braced on the dashboard of the passenger seat, Zhang Haiyan's pupils contracted sharply, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead, some even landing on the girl's clothes.

"Meow!!"

Zhang Haiyan's commotion didn't wake Shen Mingchao, but it did wake the calico cat in the back seat.

The cat's round eyes narrowed instantly, revealing a fierce look as it stared at Zhang Haiyan, occasionally letting out low growls.

This is bad.

Zhang Haiyan suddenly felt guilty. If the cat woke Shen Mingchao up, his posture would definitely be misunderstood.

Thinking of this, he quickly sat back in the driver's seat, let out a long sigh, and composed himself.

The calico cat suddenly jumped into the passenger seat, rolled around in Shen Mingchao's arms, and glared at Zhang Haiyan at the same time.

There were only two words in his eyes: pervert.

The cat's malice was too obvious, and Zhang Haiyan thought to himself: Is this cat too intelligent?

However, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

It's illogical that they made such a commotion but didn't wake Shen Mingchao.

Zhang Haiyan turned his gaze back to Shen Mingchao and found that the girl was sleeping very restlessly. Her body would twitch from time to time, her brows were furrowed, and she would occasionally utter soft murmurs in her throat.

Looks like she had a nightmare.

Zhang Haiyan disregarded everything else at this moment and raised her voice, trying to wake Shen Mingchao.

"Hey! Wake up! Wake up!"

Shen Mingchao was still muttering in her sleep when a short "xia" was uttered, and she suddenly sat up, finally waking up from her dream.

Seeing Shen Mingchao's still-shaken state, Zhang Haiyan asked with concern, "What happened? Did you have a nightmare? Are you feeling alright now?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Mingchao looked up at the driver, swallowed hard, and unconsciously began to recall her dream.

In her memory, this should be the second time she has dreamed of the man in military uniform.

That Zhang family member who died young—named Zhang Haixia.
