Claire smiled and said: “Mom, the more you talk, the more mysterious you are, and you are digging holes…Do you think you are touching Captain Jin?”

Elaine saw that Claire didn’t believe in her, so she couldn’t help but anxious, and blurted out, “You girl, you don’t believe what mom said! My grandma’s house has opened a lot of tombs over the years. Not far from my grandma’s house, a particularly famous tomb of Haihunhou was unearthed. Have you heard of the tomb of Haihunhou?”

Claire nodded: “I heard that it seems to be a very important archaeological discovery. What’s wrong with this tomb?”

“What’s the matter?” Elaine hummed: “I tell you, the reason why this tomb was discovered by the cultural relics department is that when the tomb robbers robbed the hole, they alarmed the nearby villagers. After the villagers called the police, the talents of the cultural relics department knew that there was a large tomb there, and the tomb of Haiyunhou’s wife was also in front of him. It had been stolen by tomb robbers long ago. It is said that there are dozens of thief holes punched in from all directions!”

Claire was stunned at hearing, “Are these tomb robbers really so powerful?”

Elaine was a little anxious, and said, “If you don’t believe me, search online!”

Charlie on the side nodded in agreement: “Wife, you are indeed a little ignorant about this matter. Actually, there are many very powerful craftsmen in the folk. The tomb robbers you read in novels are actually too many in real life, don’t believe me. Ask your dad, every year in the antique circle, many unearthed cultural relics are privately traded underneath. To put it bluntly, they are items stolen by tomb robbers.”

After speaking, Charlie said again: “A dozen or twenty years ago, a case of theft of Cordyceps Sinensis occurred in a provincial capital city in the central region. A shop that operated Cordyceps was stolen overnight with 200 kilograms worth thousands of Wan’s Cordyceps, do you know how the other party stole it?”

Claire shook her head: “How did they steal it?”

Charlie said: “It was a thief and stole it. They rented the shop opposite to the Cordyceps shop, drilled tens of meters underground, and went directly to the ground of the Cordyceps shop, and then drilled out and stole all the Cordyceps.”

Claire was surprised and said: “This is too amazing…”

Charlie nodded: “Aside from their illegal and criminal behavior, just talk about their craftsmanship in drilling holes, it is indeed very powerful.”

Elaine looked at Claire and said, “Now you believe me?”

Claire nodded, “Mom, I believe…”

Elaine gave a hum, and then said: “Then now, you understand what is meant by unprofitable and profitable, right? For tomb raiders, if it weren’t for the ancient tomb in the mountains, who would go to that kind of poor country to donate? Temple? That’s the same with Elsa. If it weren’t for Aurous Hill’s profit, why would she be the eldest lady of the Eastcliff family and waste her time here? That’s why I say, Aurous Hill must have a big treasure we don’t expect!”

Claire frowned and said, “But there is no treasure in Aurous Hill. Even if there is an ancient tomb, it is impossible for the Dong family to steal the tomb!”

Elaine said, “The big treasure I’m talking about may not be an ancient tomb! Maybe there are hidden great men in Aurous Hill!”

Claire smiled and said, “Big man? What big man can interest Eastcliff’s family?”

After she finished speaking, she pointed to Charlie and ridiculed: “Many people in Aurous Hill call your son-in-law Master Wade, saying that your son-in-law is a real dragon in the world, is he a hidden great figure.”
