"What else is there to do?"
Su Yurou, her fair hands clutching Lin Fan's arm, her eyes glistening with charm.
She leaned close to Lin Fan's ear, her breath a fragrant mist, "I'm here~"
*Boom!*
A muffled sound.
A fire suddenly surged in Lin Fan's heart.
His throat felt dry, his heart growing restless.
They both knew, late at night, in the quiet of the evening, a man and a woman alone, and it wasn't their first time.
What else could there be?
Su Yurou, sharp as ever, saw Lin Fan's desire.
She tugged on his arm, swaying it back and forth, and pouted, "Xiao Fan~ I've missed you!"
Seeing this, Lin Fan became wary, "You, don't go too far."
Though his body ached, he knew it wasn't easy to fall under Su Yurou's spell.
If he continued to be entangled with her, he might find himself in a very passive position later on.
"Xiao Fan~ What are you waiting for?"
Su Yurou smiled seductively, then tightly embraced Lin Fan.
Lin Fan's eyes instantly turned red, "You asked for this!"
Su Yurou chuckled. With her here, was she just a sleepwalker?
Men, tsk tsk, so hypocritical!
Lin Fan wasted no time, picking up Su Yurou and heading towards the sofa.
"Be careful, don't bump me."
Su Yurou's nerves were on edge, her breathing quickening.
"Scared now?"
Lin Fan placed her on the sofa, a mischievous grin on his face, "It's too late to be scared now!"
"Who's scared?"
Su Yurou's emotions surged, her beautiful eyes full of defiance.
At her age, how could she be afraid of some impetuous young man?
She wished Lin Fan would stay with her every day!
"Don't beg for mercy later."
Lin Fan finished speaking and pounced!
...
At the same time, at Yun Qing University.
In the Archaeology department office, an elderly man with white hair held a stone in his left hand and a book in his right, his eyes closed, neither sleeping nor contemplating.
Suddenly, a knock sounded, "Professor Li, are you there?"
The old man was Professor Li.
Professor Li was a doctoral supervisor in the Archaeology department at Yun Qing University, and he himself was an archaeologist with many years of experience.
He opened his eyes and replied, "Come in, Xiao Zhou."
The visitor was Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi pushed open the door, walked to Professor Li, and smiled, "Teacher, I'm so sorry to disturb you so late."
Professor Li gestured to the chair opposite him and said, "It's alright, I have no time during the day anyway. It's perfect timing for you to come now."
He paused, looked into Zhou Yi's eyes, and continued, "Xiao Zhou, you said on the phone that you discovered some ancient ruins. Is it true, or are you tricking me?"
Zhou Yi smiled and remained silent, deliberately teasing Professor Li.
As expected, Professor Li grew impatient, "Speak up! If you've really discovered ancient ruins, I'll definitely apply to the country for a first-class merit award for you!"
Professor Li was immensely excited. For an archaeologist, discovering ancient ruins was something they could only dream of.
If he could go on an expedition and unearth some great secret that changed human history, he felt it would be worth dying for!
"Teacher, have you ever heard of a mythological story recorded in 'Qin Huang Ye Shi'?"
Zhou Yi recounted the mythological story that Xiao Zheng had told her to Professor Li.
After listening, Professor Li mused, "That's just a myth. It's impossible to verify with current scientific technology."
Zhou Yi tilted her head and asked, "Then, Teacher, do you think a paralyzed person could recover their health overnight?"
She was referring to Lin Fan's treatment of Wang Ying.
This was something Xiao Zheng had investigated and reported to her.
"That's absolutely impossible."
Professor Li shook his head and added, "Not to mention China's medical standards, even the medical standards in North and South America couldn't achieve that."
"Then that's right." Zhou Yi's expression turned serious. "Teacher, I have a friend who was paralyzed from the waist down."
"However, a child suddenly appeared and cured her overnight."
"A child?" Professor Li blinked, "What child?"
Zhou Yi stood up, walked behind Professor Li, and replied, "To be precise, he shouldn't be called a child anymore; he's eighteen years old."
"But age isn't the miraculous part."
"The miraculous thing is that she fell off a cliff a year ago and became a vegetable, lying in bed for a full year."
"And a year later, he woke up as if nothing had happened."
"After waking up, not only was his martial arts exceptional, meaning he was very skilled in fighting, but his medical skills were also extremely superb."
"At least so far, there's no illness he can't cure!"
"He's even proficient in Feng Shui and physiognomy!"
"And the place where she fell off the cliff was Feng Yu Gorge..."
"Feng Yu Gorge!" Professor Li exclaimed, "You mean..."
Professor Li paused, pondered for a moment, then looked up at Zhou Yi's smiling face and asked with a frown, "I understand what you mean. Speak, what do you want?"
Zhou Yi covered her mouth and smiled, then placed a hand on Professor Li's shoulder and replied, "I just want to know all the secrets."
"Of course, if we find anything good, I believe you won't mind sharing some with me."
Professor Li snorted, "I can tell you what we find, but don't even think about taking anything!"
Zhou Yi squeezed Professor Li's shoulder and smiled, "Teacher, don't think I know nothing."
"I've studied archaeology for over a decade. Because I haven't managed my family business, I almost lost it all. Why do you think I've been doing this?"
"Of course, you have no interest in hearing all that, so I won't keep you in suspense."
"Forty years ago, a troop of armed soldiers bypassed the village and secretly escorted a group of archaeologists to a certain place. Later, only one person managed to escape alive."
"That place was Feng Yu Gorge."
"And the only one who escaped was you, Teacher, correct?"
"You!" Professor Li stood up abruptly.
His face, his eyes, and his heart were filled with shock.
He turned to look at Zhou Yi, who wore a smug smile, and asked, "How did you know all this?"
Zhou Yi shrugged, "Doesn't money make the world go round? Don't you know that, Teacher?"
She gently hugged Professor Li from behind and smiled again, "I'll provide the funds, the weapons, and the personnel. You just need to go there one more time."
"Don't worry, the weapons are very advanced now, and your safety will be absolutely guaranteed."
"After this is done, I'll give you one hundred million US dollars so you can live out your retirement in peace."
"And in the future, if your descendants have any difficulties, they can come to me anytime."
Hearing this, Professor Li suddenly burst into laughter, "I understand now. You don't care about your family business because your desires have surpassed wealth."
Zhou Yi lifted one leg and hooked it around Professor Li's waist, smiling wickedly, "As a woman, who doesn't want eternal youth and immortality?"
"For that, I don't mind being romantic with you, old man!"
As she spoke, Zhou Yi had already used her hands to unbutton one of Professor Li's buttons!
