Lin Hai turned back, his eyes slightly narrowed, and then smiled: "Cotton Candy"

  "It's expensive, can you make it cheaper?" Gu Meng replied, shaking her head as she looked at the thing in her hand.

  Qin Sheng looked over and saw the thing in Gu Mian's hand, it was a semi-circular object that was blackish in color, resembling both a stone and a slightly rusty iron block, not very large, about 7 cm long.

  "Miss, I've already given you a discount!" Lin Hai shook his head.

  "This thing feels weird, 2000 yuan is too expensive." Gu Mian insisted.

  Lin Hai lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then glanced at Qin Sheng who had just bought a few things from him: "Forget it, who made me almost cause an accident just now? Alright, I'll give you the lowest price of 1500, can't be any less."

  Gu Mei didn't answer immediately, carefully rubbing something in her hand for a while before saying: "Okay."

  "Miss, this is a good thing, you bought it and it's absolutely worth it." Lin Hai laughed and took over Gu Mei's money.

  "I hope so." Gu Mian smiled slightly.

  Qin Sheng found that it seemed impossible to get any information from Lin Hai, and staying here for a long time might arouse Lin Hai's suspicion. After Gu Mian paid the bill, he took Gu Mian away from Lin Hai's stall.

  Gu Mei put the things she bought from Lin Hai into her bag and said nothing, continuing to follow Qin Sheng as he strolled around this temporary trading point.

  "That's Lin Hai." Qin Sheng only spoke up after the two people had completely walked out of Lin Hai's line of sight, saying to Gu Mian.

  "Are you sure?" Gu Mian raised her head.

  "Eight or nine are not far from ten." Qin Sheng replied very affirmatively.

  Gu Meng nodded and continued: "I think his stuff doesn't look like he said it was all collected, but rather something they came up with themselves."

  "Since he is Lin Hai beside Yang Lin, this isn't anything unusual. Generally speaking, for our investigation team to smoothly carry out future work, the earlier we meet and get familiar with each other the better, also can quickly cultivate everyone's tacit understanding. However, Yang Lin and his group seem not to be in a hurry at all. Lin Hai was still selling things today at this temporary trading point so close to us, I think they may not be as far from our hotel as previously said." Qin Sheng analyzed.

  "What's going on here?" Gu Mian and Qin Sheng thought alike, feeling that there was something fishy about this, but she didn't know what exactly.

  Qin Sheng gently patted the things he had just bought from Lin Hai's stall and said in a low voice, "This might be the reason. You've forgotten that they've just discovered new ruins and tombs here, so it's better to make a move as soon as possible, otherwise, once various protective measures are in place, it'll be harder to fish in troubled waters."

  "You mean they took advantage of our absence and did something before we arrived?" Gu Mian pursed her lips, thinking Qin Sheng's words made sense.

  "Who knows?" Qin Sheng chuckled and continued, "But if it's really like that, then our trip this time will be exciting. When we get back, I'll have to tell Mr. Qiao about this matter, so everyone can be more vigilant and not be led by the nose by others."

  "I just don't get it, why do we need to divide into two teams. Although Yang Lin's side can probably help us, but when things happen, having two factions is not easy to handle." Gu Mei sighed and suddenly felt that the difficulty of this task was not small.

  "Of course, it's about mutual restraint. I told you that this time the investors are a bit complicated. We're one side, and Yang Lin is another." Qin Sheng explained.

  "It's better to have divided into two teams from the start." Gu Ming said with a pout.

  Qin Sheng smiled slightly and did not respond.

  Even if Qin Sheng doesn't answer, Gu Ming can figure it out. The reason why the two teams have become what they are today is that each takes what they need. Yang Lin's side has rich practical experience in tomb excavation and can avoid taking unnecessary detours, while Mr. Qiao's side is rich in knowledge and culture. If something is really discovered, it won't be lost due to a small mistake.

  She just said that to vent a little, who would have thought that she had just gotten rid of her first troublemaker Wang Juan at work, and now another one has come.

  Indeed, the higher the reward, the higher the risk.

  There is still some distance from the agreed gathering time, so Qin Sheng and Gu Cang can only continue to stroll around here. However, after looking for most of the day, generally speaking, counterfeit goods still occupy the majority, while genuine products are not what they call fine products, but just ordinary goods.

  Gu Mei's vision is now much higher than before, Tang Yong was the first thing she bought, but she felt it didn't matter. Later, looking at the ordinary goods, there were many, and the people selling things weren't stupid either, each asking price wasn't cheap, even if she bought them back to resell, she wouldn't make much money, so she didn't buy.

  Qin Sheng was even more so, he wasn't someone who walked the ordinary route. Gu Hong's store front wasn't big, but everything inside was expensive. Those antiques that didn't have any special significance to him were not worth collecting.

  Those few things on Lin Hai's stall were also bought out of consideration for formality, as for the others, they didn't look very good.

  People are getting more and more sophisticated, wanting to pick up bargains is getting harder and harder, slightly better things have already been taken away by others, leaving only some not-so-easy-to-sell goods.

  Finally, as a woman, Gu Mei couldn't take it anymore. She rubbed her sore legs and strongly requested that Qin Sheng find a place to sit down and rest until the time came to gather together again.

  Qin Sheng naturally had no objection and soon took Gu Yan to a small coffee shop.

  The coffee shop is privately owned, although small, it has everything, the interior decoration is also very stylish, as soon as you walk in, you can feel a relaxing atmosphere.

  Gu Mei was really exhausted and couldn't move anymore, so she found a double seat and sat down with Qin Sheng. One of them ordered a cup of coffee.

  "Very tired?" Qin Sheng looked at Gu Mian's exhausted face and the beads of sweat on his forehead, asking aloud.

  "It's okay, just take a break." Gu Ming replied weakly.

  She's so tired because her aunt is visiting for the past few days, and her physical strength has really decreased. Fortunately, her aunt will be leaving in a day or two, just in time to dive back into work.

  Qin Sheng didn't know about Gu Mei's aunt, but he didn't ask much either. He just gave Gu Mei a curious glance. He still remembered that the last time they played tennis together, Gu Mei was in pretty good shape.

  "I don't know if Mr. Qiao had any gains today." Qin Sheng pushed the sugar towards Gu Mian while drinking his coffee, as he never liked adding sugar.

  Gu Meng didn't mince words either, directly tearing open a packet and pouring it into the coffee: "Most of them are like us, small gains might be okay, but big gains aren't necessarily guaranteed."

  Qin Sheng heard Gu Mei's words and couldn't help but think of the strange thing Gu Mei had bought from Lin Hai for 1500 yuan, but since Gu Mei didn't mention it herself, he didn't dare ask, so he could only endure the doubts in his heart.

  Two people chatted intermittently, and Gu Mei's thoughts began to drift uncontrollably. Her left hand remained on her bag, under which she could clearly feel the dark thing she had touched at Lin Hai's place.

  To be honest, she wasn't quite sure what it was either, after all, it looked very ordinary, if not for the feeling that its weight wasn't quite right, she would have thought it was just a rusty iron block.

  She had touched it with her left hand, and the thing also transmitted a temperature, but that temperature gave her an inexplicable feeling, intermittent and vague, as if there was something in between.

  The feeling of happiness is also a hot reaction, vague and ambiguous, while the voice from the bottom of her heart is even stranger, anyway, she can't describe it, just feels weird.

  The only thing that can be confirmed is that this thing is indeed an antique, as for what kind of antique it is and why it has such a strange feeling, we'll have to wait until after the hotel and study it slowly.

  Qin Sheng also noticed Gu Mian's distraction, he just glanced lightly at the bag pressed down by Gu Mian with his left hand, his eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't speak.

  The two of them sat in the cafe until the agreed meeting time, Mr. Qiao and Gao Wei were both punctual people, after everyone gathered smoothly, they didn't say much and went back to the hotel together.

  Just as Gu Miao had expected, Mr. Qiao and Gao Wei made some small gains, but there were no big surprises. However, the two people seemed to have already gotten used to it and didn't show any signs of disappointment.

  Taking the opportunity that everyone was together, Qin Sheng told Mr. Qiao and Gao Wei about what he saw Lin Hai do today. Mr. Qiao only slightly furrowed his brow and instructed Gu Mei and others to be vigilant at the right time, and not to think too much about other things.

  After dinner, Gu Mei excused herself as being very tired and went back to her room to rest.

  After returning to the room, she quickly turned on the lights in the house and locked the door. Only then did she walk over to the bed, sit down, and take out the things that had been in her bag all along.

  Three men with different expressions were naturally set aside by her, while the thing that was unclear what it was was held in her hand.

  She carefully observed the light, and Gu Mei couldn't help but slightly frown. This thing was really ugly, a dull black lump with no luster, and its shape was strange. When held a little further away, it looked like a capital letter C at first glance.

  The top of C is slightly protruding, as if some carving has been done on it.

  Gu Xiang took out a white soft cloth and carefully wiped the surface of this thing, but unfortunately, after wiping for half a day, there was no change in this thing, still that black and shiny.

  "What's this thing with a big C written on it?" Gu Ming put down the white cloth, picked up the object again and stroked it gently with her left hand, feeling the various sensations brought by her left hand.

  Suddenly, Gu Meng opened her eyes wide, staring at the thing in her hand with a thoughtful expression, and uncertainly touched it again with her left hand.
