After separating from Nan Ronghao, Ling Chen drove home, packed some simple clothes, and then rushed to the airport. Listening to Nan Rongwanqing's tone on the phone, Ling Chen realized that things must not be simple. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Nan Rongwan's calm personality to be so anxious.

From Donghai City to Beixian, there are thousands of kilometers away, one is in the easternmost part of Huaxia Kingdom, and the other is in the west of Huaxia Kingdom, which is a very long distance.

After taking the plane for more than four hours, Ling Chen transferred to a car again, and after spending more than five hours on the road, he finally arrived at the destination of the trip, Beixian.

Beixian is a small county town in the west, the economy is not very developed, and there is only one hotel in the whole county. Because of its remote location, there are very few outsiders here.

When he arrived in Beixian, Ling Chen took out his mobile phone and called Nan Rong Wanqing. More than ten minutes passed, and an old Mercedes-Benz sedan slowly drove up and stopped beside Ling Chen.

The car door opened, and Liang Zhaohui stepped down from the driver's seat, waved his hand at Ling Chen, and said, "Brother Ling, get in the car!"

"Brother Liang. Ling Chen said hello with a smile and sat in the passenger seat.

"Brother Liang, where did this car come from?" Ling Chen asked, looking at the old Mercedes-Benz that was at least ten years old.

"Alas, let's not mention it, we searched the whole county, and we rented a slightly more decent car. ”

Ling Chen nodded, and then shifted the topic to business, "Is the situation serious this time?"

"Brother Ling, seriously, we don't know what's going on now. However, looking at the appearance of the chairman, things should be tricky. ”

"Don't you even know what's going on?"

"Those guys are so arrogant that they don't take us seriously at all. No matter what we asked, they didn't say a word. ”

"They?" Ling Chen asked, "Who are you talking about by 'they'?"

"It's not that group of archaeologists yet, to be honest, if the chairman hadn't stopped me, I would have taught them a lesson. ”

As he spoke, the Mercedes-Benz drove out of Beixian County and came to a pitch-black wilderness. After about ten minutes of walking, the Mercedes finally stopped. Ling Chen pushed the car door and looked into the distance, only to see more than a dozen tents set up dozens of meters away, surrounded by bright lights.

"Brother Ling, let's go, the chairman and they are all there. ”

Ling Chen answered, and hurriedly followed Liang Zhaohui's footsteps. After a while, the two of them came to the location of the tent. At this moment, Nan Rongwan was waiting outside early in the morning. In addition to Nan Rong Wanqing, Zhong Wei and several security personnel from Falcon Private Security Company were there.

"Chairman. ”

"Chairman. The crowd greeted each other.

Ling Chen responded one by one, walked quickly to Nan Rong Wanqing's side, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Xiao Lin's whereabouts are unknown now, I want to go to her, but those people don't stop me, and I can't do anything. ”

"Whereabouts unknown?" Ling Chen was taken aback and said in a deep voice, "Who stopped you?" ”

"Follow me. At that moment, Nan Rong Wanqing took Ling Chen and a group of security personnel to a tent not far away. Before he entered the door, he saw several young men standing outside the tent, stretching out their hands to stop everyone.

"Miss Nanrong, we have said that we will find a way to deal with it, I hope you will not interfere with my work. A young man said patiently.

"By the time you figure it out, it's too late. Get out of the way! I'm going to go in and see your professor. ”

"I'm sorry. The young man shook his head and said, "The professor has instructed that no outsiders are allowed to go in and disturb him." ”

"Where did so much nonsense come from. Ling Chen raised his eyebrows, directly squeezed away several young people outside the tent, and strode in. Seeing this, the others hurriedly followed.

Entering the tent, Ling Chen glanced around, only to see an old man with gray hair sitting in the tent, and three or four middle-aged men in their forties and fifties. These people gathered around a table, not knowing what they were studying.

Seeing Ling Chen rushing in from outside, the silver-haired old man immediately stood up, pointed at Ling Chen, and shouted angrily: "What are you doing, don't you know that this is a research place, and outsiders are not allowed to enter." ”

Ling Chen strode forward, kicked the table to the ground, glared at the old man and said, "Old thing, don't talk to me about those useless things, I just want to ask you one thing, where is Su Linren? I want to see her immediately." ”

The old man spoke: "I told you, we will bring Xiao Su to you, but only if you don't get in the way of our work." ”

"Professor Hao, I chose to believe you before, but two days have passed, and there is still no news from Xiao Lin. As her family, you should have told me what had happened to her. Nan Rong Wanqing said.

"I'm sorry, Miss Nan Rong, this involves the confidentiality of our archaeological department, and it is inconvenient to disclose it to outsiders. Also, our archaeological operation is authorized by the state, and if you interfere with our work, you will be working against the state. When the time comes, I will let you walk around without eating. ”

As he spoke, the old man pointed to the door of the tent and rebuked angrily, "Now, you all get out of here, and don't let me see you again." ”

"Hmph!" Ling Chen sneered, "You want to use the name of the country to suppress us?" old fellow, let me tell you, I'm not scared." After the words fell, Ling Chen turned his head to look at Nan Rong Wanqing and asked, "What is this old man's name?"

Hao Dongnan is a professor of archaeology at Tunghai University. ”

"Hao Dongnan. Ling Chen nodded, took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.

"Hey, old Tang, you can help me find out if there is an archaeology professor named Hao Dongnan, yes, that's right, Hao Dongnan...... Okay, I see. After hanging up the phone, Ling Chen glanced at Hao Dongnan and said with a smile: "I am a big man when you are a big man, and you dare to pretend to be a national archaeologist." ”

Hearing this, Hao Dongnan's face couldn't help but panic, "You...... What do you say?"

"Professor Hao, do you know how big a crime it is to impersonate the name of the state? Once it is verified, you will spend your whole life in prison. ”

"No, it's not. Hao Dongnan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I didn't, you are talking nonsense." ”

"I asked my friend to check your information, you are only a professor of archaeology at Tunghai University, and the national archaeological team did not accept your application for employment. Professor Hao, you'd better think about whether you want to tell me Su Lin's whereabouts, or go to prison for the rest of your life. ”

"I ......" Hao Dongnan opened his mouth, stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.

"Why, haven't you figured it out yet?" Ling Chen picked up his phone and said, "Then I'll call the police." ”

Seeing Ling Chen's actions, Hao Dongnan hurriedly stopped: "Don't, I'...... I said, I said. ”
