Archaeology is archaeology, why dig me up?

Chapter 12 I Can Take Care of You

Su Qianxue hugged Gu Lingchen's neck and lay in his arms, secretly wishing that time could stand still at this moment.

Upon hearing this, Gu Lingchen smiled faintly and said, "Fool, didn't I already say so?"

"You were my Daoist partner in my past life, Gu Lingchen."

"In this lifetime, I will never let anyone bully you."

Although she still didn't quite believe in the concept of past and present lives, Su Qianxue felt a warmth rise in her heart when she heard Gu Lingchen say this.

A smile finally appeared on his face.

"Gu Lingchen, are you tired? Why don't you put me down?"

"I can walk by myself."

Just then, police sirens sounded ahead.

From the time Gu Lingchen arrived here until everything was over, less than half an hour had actually passed.

The speed at which the police arrived after Tang Xiaoxiao called the police was already considered quite fast.

Upon seeing the police car, Su Qianxue's face showed panic.

"Gu Lingchen, the police are here. What should we do? Will you go to jail?"

I don't want you to go to jail.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault for dragging you into this."

Upon hearing this, Gu Lingchen smiled gently and replied, "Qianxue, do you believe it?"

"No one can force me to go to jail if I don't want to."

"So you don't need to worry at all."

"Hold on tight, the pace is going to get a bit fast from here on out."

"what?"

Before Su Qianxue could react, Gu Lingchen covered a thousand meters in a single step, and in a few breaths, he was already standing on the city street with Su Qianxue in his arms.

Su Qianxue was still completely dazed.

After getting down from Gu Lingchen's arms, Su Qianxue finally dared to believe that it was all real.

Looking at Gu Lingchen, one could see a mixture of gratitude and shock in his eyes.

At this moment, Su Qianxue became extremely curious about the strange Gu Lingchen in front of her.

"Gu Lingchen, let me take you to buy a cell phone."

"I think friends need a way to stay connected."

"Okay, I'm also very curious about what's on your phones that makes everyone so fond of them."

"But Chiyuki, cell phones seem pretty expensive, don't they?"

"Come with me somewhere first."

"It's alright, Gu Lingchen, I still have money on me."

"This is what I've saved up over the past two years, it still has several thousand yuan left. I can give you a cell phone."

He patted Su Qianxue's hair and said with a smile, "Your money is something you worked very hard to save up."

"Don't worry, come with me to this place first."

.......

Outside the abandoned steel plant, more than a dozen police cars with their headlights on were lined up side by side at the entrance.

Lu Qianqian, captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Jiangzhou Public Security Bureau, personally led the team.

As soon as they got out of the car, Lu Qianqian and the others noticed a faint smell of blood in the air.

"Those inside, listen up and put down your weapons and come out to surrender."

I called out several times, but there was no response from inside.

Lu Qianqian led her people to enter the abandoned steel plant from all directions.

When they gathered inside, the scene before them shocked and disbelieved many of the police officers.

This was the first time Lu Qianqian, a police officer for many years, had encountered such a horrific crime scene.

"this….."

"Captain Lu."

"What happened here?"

"Is this Huanglong?"

"Captain Lu, look! Isn't that Huang Long's one-eyed subordinate?"

"We've been trying to catch him for so long, and now he's dead here."

"My God, who killed him?"

Lu Qianqian replied coldly, "Quickly, find out if there are any survivors."

"Also, have the trace evidence department and the forensic medicine department send people over."

"Everyone, get out of here. Don't disturb the scene."

"Captain, there's a survivor here."

Police found Li Yu huddled under some rubble.

"Madam, don't be afraid, we are police officers, please come out quickly."

Tell us what happened here.

"Are you named Su Qianxue?"

"I...I don't know, I don't know anything."

"Ah... don't ask me, don't ask me."

"He'll kill me, sob sob sob, I don't know anything, please don't ask me anymore."

"Captain Lu, this woman is so frightened that she's out of her mind. It seems we won't be able to get anything out of her."

Upon hearing this, Lu Qianqian frowned and then said, "Who on earth dares to be so arrogant right under my nose?"

"Call an ambulance."

"Send someone to investigate her identity, and take her statement after she has recovered a bit."

"Protect the scene..."

"Yes, Captain Lu."

.......

At the same time, Gu Lingchen and Su Qianxue walked into a jewelry and gold shop.

With gold prices soaring, there are very few customers in the store.

Several young shop assistants were either playing on their phones or putting on makeup.

But when they looked up and saw Gu Lingchen, their hearts skipped a beat at the same time.

You'd think a celebrity had walked into the store.

Su Qianxue was still a little confused as to why Gu Lingchen had brought her to the jewelry store.

"Hey handsome, are you buying your girlfriend the three gold pieces for our wedding?"

"Look at this bracelet, it's not expensive, only a little over fifty thousand."

"I won't buy it."

"You can recycle valuable items here, right?"

"I have a jade pendant here, and I'd like to exchange it for some money."

As he spoke, Gu Lingchen held a piece of yellowish white jade in his hand, which looked unremarkable to the naked eye.

"Oh, so you're here to sell things."

"Of course, but our Dafu Gold Shop doesn't accept just anything; it has to be valuable."

"This piece of jade doesn't look very valuable; it probably won't sell for much."

Seeing that Gu Lingchen was actually going to sell his things for money, Su Qianxue quickly grabbed his hand and said, "Gu Lingchen, this jade pendant must be a family heirloom, right?"

"You don't need to sell."

"I do have money; I can still support you for now."

"We can just buy a cheap phone for now, and I can still earn extra money later."

"Don't sell it anymore."

Upon hearing Su Qianxue's words, a smile flickered across the gold shop salesperson's face, thinking to himself, "So they're just two penniless bastards."

But what exactly does this handsome guy want from her?

Is it just because she's pretty, young, and innocent?

With a face like that, what kind of rich woman couldn't he find?

Even if she had over 100,000 yuan in savings, if this handsome guy were her boyfriend, buying him a phone would be a piece of cake.

"Qianxue, don't worry."

"This jade pendant was a gift from a friend of mine. It's probably the least valuable piece of jade I own."

"You should have an appraiser take a look and see how much this jade pendant is worth to me."

After speaking, Gu Lingchen placed the jade tablet on the red tray in front of him.

A female salesperson picked up the jade pendant and examined it carefully, finding that apart from its somewhat antique and warm appearance, it had nothing else special about it.

The water quality is passable.

Based on her experience, this jade pendant is worth at most a few thousand.

If they were to buy it, the value would often be halved.

"Alright, sir, madam, please wait a moment."

"I'll go and fetch our appraiser."

"However, I must tell you that this jade pendant is probably not worth much money."

"You need to be mentally prepared."
