Reborn as a capitalist's young master in the 1970s, he starts his life by being blocked at the

"Hehe, Professor Chen, you misunderstand. This is Xiao Chen, and he's from your clan. I don't have such an outstanding student."

Professor Lin spoke with a hint of regret in his heart. He really wanted to take Chen Jianming under his wing, but unfortunately, the other party's ambitions lay elsewhere.

He turned around and waved to someone not far away: "Xiao Chen, come over here and say hello to Professor Chen. He's a towering figure in the field of Chinese archaeology!"

"Hello, Professor Chen!"

Chen Jianming stepped forward steadily, his attitude neither humble nor arrogant, and gently shook hands with the other person.

He had just realized that the entire archaeological team followed Professor Chen's lead.

Even the heavily armed soldiers had to obey Professor Chen's orders.

Every move he made carried the air of someone who had long held a superior position.

"The young man looks very energetic. He must have something special to be valued by Professor Lin so much."

Professor Chen was dressed in a gray Zhongshan suit, his hair was combed neatly, and he seemed very approachable.

He had become suspicious when he saw the young man in front of him dressed as a hunter.

After a moment's thought, Professor Chen narrowed his eyes slightly: "There's one more thing, Elder Lin. As you know, this excavation is of great importance. I didn't even bring my students. Letting Brother Chen participate might be a bit against the rules."

"However, Xiao Chen has already signed a confidentiality agreement. Yesterday, when they encountered a dangerous situation while excavating the mountain, it was Xiao Chen who saved Professor Wang."

Professor Chen waved his hand, his tone somewhat troubled: "I'm afraid that won't work either. This isn't just my personal opinion; the higher-ups also don't want anything to go wrong with this excavation. Brother Chen, I hope you don't mind."

"Professors, please don't be embarrassed. I only came here to help Professor Lin, but I can't help now, so there's no point in me staying here."

Chen Jianming stepped forward to help them out.

There's no point in staying here. If Professor Lin hadn't insisted, he would have left long ago.

Professor Chen glanced at him with admiration in his eyes; such sensible young people are rare.

He straightened his clothes: "Brother Chen is indeed a sensible person. Don't worry, the country has seen your contributions. Before I came, Elder Lin mentioned your matter to me. I have already made arrangements, and someone will contact you soon about your return to the city. In addition, there is a banner and an award for you."

"Thank you, Professor Chen. Please don't bother with the banner and the award; it's all what I should do. It's enough to be able to contribute to the country."

Chen Jianming's eyes lit up.

I've been waiting for this for ages, and finally I can go back to the city!

He was very grateful, knowing that Professor Lin must have done a lot to help him return to the city and speak well of him.

I guess the reason I brought him on this archaeological trip was to help him get back to the city.

"Since that's the case, then that's the only way. Xiao Chen, you go back first, and remember to come find me when you get back to the city," Professor Lin instructed.

"Xiao Chen, don't forget to look for me when you get back to the city!"

Yu Qingqing squeezed into the crowd, waved, and looked reluctant to leave.

"I won't bother you any longer, professors, please continue with your work."

After saying goodbye, Chen Jianming turned and left Xuri Ridge.

"This young man is quite good, he suits my taste. If there's an opportunity, I might take him on as a student."

"Accepting students is my job, what's it to you? Professor Chen, are you trying to steal my students?"

"You old codger, no wonder you were so protective of your own just now, you had it all planned out in advance."

...

On the way back, Chen Jianming hummed a little tune, his heart already bursting with joy.

The image of a decadent life after returning to the city seemed to appear before my eyes. After suppressing myself for so long, I was sure I would be living a life of luxury with fancy cars and beautiful women, listening to music in brothels.

"After staying in the mountains for so long, it's really hard to leave."

Since entering the mountains, he has experienced so many things: killing Japanese soldiers, catching wild animals, and encountering poachers. His life can be described as quite exciting.

Once we go back to the city, we won't have the chance to explore nature anymore.

Moreover, with so much gold and silver jewelry in the space, I'm sure I'll enjoy a life of luxury after returning to the city.

It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. I'm afraid I won't have the will to do it by then.

"One last crazy adventure before I leave! Python Cave, Wolf Valley, here I come!"

Without hesitation, he changed direction and headed towards some locations he remembered.

If we don't go crazy now, we'll be too old!

...

Hongdanggang Subdistrict Office, Beijing.

"This life is wonderful! In a couple of days, I'll transfer the old house to my name. Even if that kid comes back, it won't matter."

Chen Weiguo sat comfortably on the leather sofa, legs crossed, a cup of tea in his hand.

"Ring ring—"

Who is it?

Chen Weiguo picked up the phone reluctantly.

"This is Sun Chen from the Municipal Bureau. Chen Weiguo, how's the matter I asked you to handle last time? Why is there still no result? What kind of work are you doing? Can you even do this job? If you can't, get out. I have better candidates."

The voice on the phone was very rude, immediately launching into a tirade of abuse.

Chen Weiguo rolled his eyes, but his tone was somewhat obsequious: "Director Sun, it's not that I don't want to handle it, it's just that the kid's information is a bit complicated and not easy to organize. How about we wait a while longer, until I've reviewed the information carefully?"

"You think it's difficult to handle? If you can't do it well, then quit and wait to be sent to the countryside to shovel manure! Let me tell you, Chen Weiguo, the higher-ups have already asked about this several times. You'd better think it over!"

Then, a dial tone came through the phone, indicating that the other end had hung up.

"Damn it! We can't even fool him. What has this kid been doing in the mountains? Why are even the higher-ups speaking up for him?!"

Chen Weiguo roared and threw the phone aside, sweeping the teacup and a pile of documents off the table onto the floor.

Still feeling aggrieved, he got up and kicked all the benches in the office, knocking them over.

"Why does he never come back, and why does he never come back? The old house is about to change hands. Is this my fate?"

Chen Weiguo's eyes hardened: "No, my life is my own to decide. So what if I come back? Something can still happen. If I'm gone, the old house will still be mine."

Thinking of this, he calmed down a bit and got up to pick up the overturned enamel cup.

He went to his desk, took out a document from the drawer, and reluctantly signed his name on it.

Heiyu Mountain.

Two days have passed since I last left Xuri Ridge.

While waiting for the notice to return to the city, Chen Jianming did not sit idle. He planned to explore Heiyu Mountain one last time before leaving.

Last time he went to the python cave, caught a python that was more than two meters long, threw it into his space, and also took out a nest of small snakes to make a pot of snake soup.

This time, his target is Wolf Valley.

As the name suggests, Wolf Valley is home to many wolf packs.

He wasn't there to catch wolves, of course. The main reason was that the tomb raiders all believed that Wolf Valley was something extraordinary.

There is a legend that "a golden coffin is buried in the Wolf Valley, and ghosts cry in the daytime while lamps are lit at night".
