Zhuo Yun shrugged and explained: "You have been lurking in the first base during this time, and I haven't had time to tell you that the news of the treasure in the underground palace has already spread like wildfire, so I plan to take this opportunity to kill that damn dog. Bring out the thief."
After Yang Yi listened, his brows raised again, as if he hadn't heard clearly, "What did you say? Say it again???"
What dog thief
Is that what he knew
Zhuo Yun repeated it in an extremely rigid tone, "...as long as this dog thief dares to appear this time, I guarantee that he will never return!"
Yang Yi listened to Zhuo Yun's mouthful of a thief, as if he saw that both of his feet were on the verge of death.
After two seconds of silence, I felt that it would be immoral to refuse to save my brother after all these years.
Therefore, Yang Yi nodded solemnly and said: "Brother, I am very optimistic about you. If you really catch him, it will be a great achievement, and my wife doesn't have to worry about it."
Zhuo Yun was a little flustered by the praise, "It's easy to say."
Yang Yi coughed, turned his head away in a serious manner, and looked out the car window.

the next day.
Huo Yao left for Shangyi Town. Although tomorrow was the day to sign the contract, Deacon Ding asked her to go there ahead of time to get acquainted with the situation.
Early in the morning, the convoy led by Xiao Xie stopped at the entrance of the main villa.
More than a dozen refitted bulletproof off-road vehicles were full of momentum, and there was a big battle. After a while, the convoy slowly drove out of Huo's Manor.
Melis stood on the open-air balcony on the third floor, staring coldly at the leaving convoy until she could no longer see her. She took out her mobile phone from her pocket, dialed a number and went out.
"... Yes, we have already set off."
Melis hung up the phone with a sneer on her lips.
She will never allow anyone to stand in her daughter's way.
With a flick of her sleeves, Melis turned around and was about to enter the room when she raised her eyes and saw her daughter standing with her hands folded against the glass door.
Melis was stunned, then walked over, her face was as gentle as usual, "Wan Ying, when did you come here?"
Huo Wanying's gaze fell on Mei Lisi's face, "You shouldn't get involved in family affairs."
Melis froze, she was actually a little afraid of this daughter, she suddenly didn't know where to move the hand holding the phone, "Did you hear me talking on the phone just now?"
Huo Wanying stood up straight, but said lightly: "Grandpa misses you very much, I have arranged for someone to take you back later."
Melis' complexion changed, her relationship with her natal family was not good at all, "I won't go."
Huo Wanying didn't look at her mother any more, turned around and entered the room.
This is non-negotiable.
Melis stood where she was. She never thought that her daughter would drive her back to her natal home at this time.
She just wanted to clear the way for her.
*
It takes about six hours to drive to Shangyi Town from Huo's Manor, but Huo Yao got out of the car not long after leaving Huo's house.
She asked Xiao Xie to meet up with Deacon Ding first, because today is also the day when the archaeological team enters the underground palace.
The underground palace is in Bligh Town, which happens to be the neighboring town of Shangyi Town, and the distance between the two towns is only more than two hours' drive.
Therefore, Huo Yao had already planned to drop by the underground palace first.
She wasn't really interested in treasures, but she learned from the information that Aunt Tong was looking for that it was very likely to appear in the underground palace.
