Chapter 48 The Tomb

" Ohh." Yang Ling nodded her head, and as ordered by Yang Heng, they went to sleep.

Next day Early Morning

Yang Heng called his elite team to go with Ling and others. Except for Shin and both elders rest were going inside the tomb.

One of the elite team members is from a family of tomb raiders, and he was recruited for invasion purposes.

The Door was first inspected and opened by using the mechanism implemented in the door.

Once the door was opened, everyone entered when nothing happened. The elite members surrounded the young masters.

The tomb was simple, unlike the door, which had an advanced mechanism. The interior contained only a few wall paintings, a jade figure, and some other stuff; it mostly looked like a room of a person.

The group slowly walked and started reading the paintings. It told the story of a woman who fought many battles but was betrayed by the same nation, thus leading her to destroy the very thing she loved most.

She fought with all the soldiers who were sent to kill her, and in the end, she accepted the defeat and let the kingdom poison her.

She later came to this mountain and took her last breath there. The tomb was made by her last servant.

Yang Ling and others were emotional knowing her story. They started looking around and Yang Ling went to the jade statue.

The statue mesmerized her more than anything else in that tomb. Mu Jiang picked the Crystal on that statue and looked at it very carefully. He Deming picked the woman's painting, which was hung in there. Yang Min picked up the knife that was oddly still sharp. Feng Xi picked the books that held all the experiences that the woman held.

The group started paying their respects to the woman in a proper way. Once the offerings were made they moved the belongings in the room out.

Yang Heng and Elder Mu kept checking all the items and let the young ones take whatever they picked.

Ling was planning on keeping the statue in her office. Mu Jiang, on the other hand, had plans for the crystal.

Once everything was cleared out they started to pack their belongings and move out. Everyone reached their homes by Noon.

...

Around evening

Yang Heng was observing the knife when Yang Ling, who was beside him,m, got a call.

"Hmm, tell me what do you have?"

" Master, that village is just a show. Everyone in that village is a member of the Redfang gang. The area in which the village is located is an underground base for the gang. Most of the illegal activities are carried out there. They might have just agreed for the show but they will 100% not allow anyone to either dig or move anything there."

Yang Ling frowned and asked, " Why weren't we informed about this, or rather, how come they monopolized a whole village?"

" Master, like I said, the village was built to cover the base, not the other way around."

" Fine, keep digging, and let me know if you find anything else."

" Okay, Master."

Yang Heng, still examining the knife, looked up and asked, " Problem?"

" Yes, Grandpa, I think the Greenland project is in big trouble."

Nodding his head Yang Heng did not speak further. Ling patted his back, said not to worry, and moved to get some much-needed rest.

She was planning something big and to do that she needed some rest.

....

Early next morning

Ling got ready, and she put in extra effort to look good. She walked into Mu's group building; her hair swayed as she walked towards Mu Jiang's room.

No one asked her for an appointment, which she found odd; Ah Chen greeted her and let her in.

" Ms.Yang can I get you something? COFFEE OR TEA?"

" Black coffee, thanks"

She removed her glasses, coat and sat infront of Mu Jiang. Mu Jiang was just gave her a glance and kept doing his work.

Yang Ling was not in a rush, so she waited for her coffee. Her eyes then fell on the Crystal, just as she was about to touch it.

Mu Jiang stopped her, raising her eyebrows she looked at him.

" That Crystal is for my future wife. Touch it at your own risk. Don't blame me later if I make you my wife."
