Old Hu had seen Wang Kaixuan's so-called trophy jade pendant many times.
He had been wearing it around his neck.
This was actually a gift from Wang Kaixuan's father's comrade-in-arms. It was indeed a spoils of war from the bandits.
However, Wang Kaixuan, this shameless thing, said that this thing was obtained by him when he exterminated the bandits. That was ridiculous.
He hadn't been born yet.
However, that was not important anymore. Anyone with a brain would know that he was lying.
As for Xue Li Yang and Professor Chen, they were completely attracted by this jade pendant.
Wang Kaixuan thought that his heroic deeds had convinced the two of them, and he immediately felt smug.
He even looked at Old Hu with a smug expression.
Old Hu could guess what he wanted to say.
It was nothing more than,"See, I'm still the smartest!"
Then, there was the bullsh * t of 'I'm a tiger, this foreign girl will obediently pay up' and so on.
However, Old Hu could tell that these two people were not deceived by Wang Kaixuan at all.
The real key was this jade pendant!
"Mr. Wang, I'm willing to pay 10,000 US dollars, no, 20,000 US dollars, to buy this jade pendant in your hand.”
Xue Li Yang and Professor Chen looked at each other and said immediately.
Twenty thousand dollars?
Buy jade?
Wang Kaixuan was stunned on the spot. Then, he immediately looked at Old Hu.
After all, Old Hu was the one who made the decision.
Old Hu winked at him, meaning not to sell it.
"I'm not selling. The money is too little."
Wang Kaixuan said straightforwardly.
" 100,000 dollars."
Shirley Yang's expression did not change as she raised the bid to 100,000 dollars.
Wang Kaixuan was tall and burly, but when he heard this number, he could not help but feel his knees go weak and almost kneel down!
100,000 USD!
He said it so casually. Did this foreign girl's money fall from the sky?
Wang Kaixuan wanted to sell the jade pendant on the spot, but at this time, Old Hu blocked his way.
"Miss Yang, this is not a matter of money.”
"This brother of mine risked his life to participate in the raider extermination and obtained the spoils of war.”
Old Hu was best at talking nonsense in a serious manner.
Just now, he felt that Wang Kaixuan's lies were embarrassing. Now, he directly used them. He was also a clever person.
Ye Han watched from the side and could not help but laugh out loud.
"And don't use money to tarnish his noble soul. This time, he's not here for money, but to help the country's archaeological work!”
"Besides, do you think this is just a jade pendant?”
"Do you know how many soldiers died when we were exterminating the bandits?”
"This jade pendant is said to be a spoils of war, but it is also a souvenir and a witness. It contains the blood of our motherland's soldiers!”
Old Hu beamed with joy.
Xue Li Yang was speechless. She even began to wonder if she was being too disrespectful.
Fortunately, Old Hu stopped in time. If he didn't stop, Wang Kaixuan would probably hit him.
100,000 USD!
If he didn't want the money in his hands, this was meat that was delivered to his mouth!
Wasn't it just a piece of jade? It wasn't as important as Old Hu said. He would sell it for a few thousand dollars, let alone 100,000 dollars!
"I'm sorry, Mr. Hu, Mr. Wang.”
"It's my fault. I didn't expect this jade pendant to be so important to Mr. Wang.”
"However, this jade pendant might be of help to us on this trip because the words on it are written in the Ghost Cave language, which is also the language used by our target, the Ancient City of Jingjue.”
Xue Li Yang first apologized and then explained.
After this incident, Wang Kaixuan also successfully joined the archaeological team.
In that case, the candidates for this trip were basically all here.
Ye Han, the Iron Triangle, Old Hu, and Wang Kaixuan were all foreign aid invited by the archeological team. There were already six people.
Then there was Xue Li Yang, Professor Chen from the archeological team, Hao Aiguo, and Professor Chen's three students, making a total of six people.
A total of twelve people!
It was indeed not a small team.
Others might not know, but Ye Han knew that these archeological team members were cannon fodder, sent to their deaths.
Before they could even see the Ancient City of Jingjue, Hao Aiguo was bitten to death by a snake.
Although Ye Han didn't like this bookworm, he didn't do anything wrong. He couldn't just watch him die.
Moreover, having more people was just a burden.
According to Ye Han's train of thought, he would still have to push his way through. Therefore, other than the key figures, he did not plan to bring along any extras.
So Ye Han thought of a way.
That night, Shirley Yang treated everyone to a meal at a restaurant.
Ye Han did something to Hao Aiguo and the three students, and they fell sick after they returned.
The next day, the four of them all felt a headache and a fever. Their entire bodies were sore and it was difficult for them to walk.
This made Professor Chen very anxious. These were his assistants and students. How could they be sick?
It seemed that they would not be able to participate in the archaeological work this time.
Professor Chen couldn't do the archeological work alone. Some precious cultural relics and information needed to be handled by people.
This was also the reason why he had to bring along his assistants and students.
However, for Shirley Yang, what she wanted was to find her father's body. She was just using the archaeological team as a cover.
Therefore, how many people from the archeological team could go did not affect her much.
The archaeological activities that had already been put on the agenda could not be delayed!
Thus, under the resentful and regretful gazes of Hao Aiguo and the three students, the group of eight left the capital and boarded the train to the west!
