The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

Because only outstanding tomb raiders can not only dig tunnels and dare to explore, but also judge the value of the items and adjust their strategies accordingly.

But even though he was stealing, Fang Yun's actions still fell into this category. However, what Fang Yun did was not tomb raiding, but fraud, so Fang Yun had to intervene.

"Who are you? Do you really think I'm afraid of you and have no temper?"

Upon hearing Fang Yun speak, the young man was startled, then turned to look at Fang Yun before slowly standing up.

He was wearing a black fur hat with the brim pulled low, and because of the hair covering his forehead, Fang Yun couldn't see the other person's face very clearly.

"Stop talking nonsense. Hand over the things you took from that girl, or don't blame me for being impolite."

Fang Yun didn't say much, but coldly replied.

The young man chuckled and said, "There are so many people on the street, how can you be so sure I took it? Kid, I'll sue you for defamation."

"There weren't many people who walked between me and that girl just now, and you were the only one whose movements were a bit distorted, so if I had to guess, it would definitely be you," Fang Yun said calmly.

At this moment, the young man snorted coldly and said, "Kid, I advise you to mind your own business. I'm only ignoring you today because I'm in a good mood. Otherwise, you would definitely regret it if this happened elsewhere."

Fang Yun responded with surprise, "Oh? Then I don't know how to make you regret it."

“Like this.” The young man suddenly raised his hand, then slowly opened his clenched fist. In his palm, Fang Yun found a small blue cloth bag, which was a purse he had bought somewhere before.

"See? If you leave now, you can still keep some things; otherwise, you'll only lose more and more."

As he spoke, the purse in the young man's hand vanished as if by magic. (bjbd)

Fang Yun thought to himself, "I didn't expect to run into the descendants of the Duanmu family here. This kind of technique must be their ancestral skill of retrieving objects from a distance."

The Duanmu family is also a well-known family in the tomb raiding business. They started tomb raiding many generations ago, and the lineage has been passed down to the present day, with countless descendants.

With such a deep accumulation of wealth, the Duanmu family's fortune is immeasurable. How could their backs have fallen to the point of targeting small street vendors?

"So, have you thought it through? Let me remind you again, such indecisiveness will not lead to any good results."

The young man spoke again.

"You can open it and see what's inside that pouch."

Fang Yun stood there, looking as if he hadn't made any preparations at all.

The young man thought Fang Yun meant there was nothing valuable in the purse, which was why he was asked to open it, so he said, "I told you, since I can easily get this purse from you, if I want to take it, everything else on you is just as easy for me."

"You can try it."

Fang Yun didn't say much or refute, which left the other party somewhat puzzled.

"I told you, you can open it and see what's inside. What, you dare?"

Fang Yuncai spoke again.

"Go ahead and fight, but I'm afraid there might be some valuables inside that I'll just take."

The young man smiled dismissively, then slowly unzipped the green pouch.

When the zipper of the purse was halfway open, the young man seemed to see something through the gap, his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly unzipped the other half.

Inside the pouch lay a golden ring, the very one the boy had worn on his left hand.

At this moment, unaware that the item had suddenly ended up in Fang Yun's purse again.

This puzzled him greatly.

Chapter 399 Persuasion

"How about it? My skill in retrieving objects from a distance isn't any worse than yours, is it, descendant of the Duanmu family?"

Upon hearing Fang Yun's words, the young man immediately took several steps back, a hint of fear appearing in his eyes.

What surprised him was not why Fang Yun knew him, but that Fang Yun had demonstrated a higher level of skill than him.

This ability to retrieve objects from a distance is considered a closely guarded secret of the Duanmu family. It is not taught to ordinary family members, and only core disciples have the opportunity to glimpse its secrets.

"Who exactly are you?" the young man asked in a cold voice.

"Who I am is not important. I just want to ask one question: since you have a high status in the Duanmu family, why would you engage in such despicable and underhanded dealings?"

“If you want something, go and get it yourself from the field. Why bother coming here to cheat and steal other people’s things?”

Fang Yun was already a little angry when he said the last word.

It's like seeing a junior who clearly has certain skills and is intelligent, but doesn't use that intelligence in the right way.

"I can do whatever I want, it's none of your business."

"Hmph, even as an ordinary person, I'm going to teach you a lesson today. You must have tricked quite a few people along the way, right? I advise you to return all those things to me, otherwise, I'll have to take matters into my own hands."

Fang Yun said coldly.

"you!"

The young man hadn't expected Fang Yun to say that, but he didn't know how to refute it. After thinking for a while, he finally said, "Fine, just please don't follow me anymore!"

With that, the young man disappeared into the crowd.

"Hey, Fang Yun, what are you doing here? I've been looking for you everywhere!"

At this moment, Chen Xiaonan patted Fang Yun on the shoulder from behind. She saw that he was holding some roasted corn and fried vegetables. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Fang Yun would not have known that her small hands could hold so many things.

"Let's go back quickly, Jiaying is still waiting for me there."

With that, Chen Xiaonan urged Fang Yun to leave. Fang Yun glanced in the direction the young man had gone, but he had already disappeared.

"I hope you take care of yourself."

Fang Yun said softly, and then followed Chen Xiaonan away.

Li Jiaying was still standing in the same spot, waiting. Although her face didn't show much expression, Fang Yun could still read the anxiety in her eyes.

"Here you go. Be more careful next time."

As soon as Fang Yun took the jade pendant from his hand, Li Jiaying's eyes lit up, and she happily took it from him.

"Thank you so much, Brother Fang. If you hadn't helped me find it, I wouldn't know how to explain it to my mother. This is a treasure that has been passed down for generations."

Li Jiaying put the jade pendant back on, and there seemed to be something different in her gaze as she looked at Fang Yun.

Chen Xiaonan, who was standing nearby, noticed that the atmosphere seemed a bit off, and asked casually, "What's wrong, Jiaying? Why did you lose your jade pendant?"

"No...it's nothing, I just accidentally dropped it, and I had to ask Brother Fang to help me find it." As Li Jiaying spoke, a blush suddenly appeared on her cheeks.

Chen Xiaonan wanted to ask more, but Li Jiaying suddenly took a few strings of things from her arms and said, "Xiaonan, quickly share them with everyone, we're starving."

· ·········Request flowers· ···

Chen Xiaonan said quietly, "Didn't you say you didn't want to eat it? Why do you want to eat it now?"

"When you're hungry, you don't care about anything else." As she spoke, Li Jiaying stuffed a bite of grilled gluten into her mouth.

Chen Xiaonan felt that Li Jiaying was acting a little strange, but at the moment she couldn't resist the aroma of the food and started eating it.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the group strolled around for a while before Li Jiaying decided to take the two of them to the Li residence to rest.

"Let's head back now. It's getting late, and it's still quite a distance from here to my house."

....... ... 0

Chen Xiaonan stretched, realizing that today's trip, including flying and shopping, had indeed taken a toll on her energy.

The thought of going to Li Jiaying's house now actually filled her with excitement.

"Jiaying, your house must be very spacious. I wonder how exquisite the decoration is. I can't wait to go there now." Chen Xiaonan said with a smile.

Li Jiaying smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll know when you get there."

Then, they called the driver back, and after everyone got into the car, they drove towards the Li family's residence.

Because it was in the suburbs, the car drove all the way out of the city, and the once bustling street scene gradually faded and disappeared.

Fortunately, there were still many stars tonight. The two girls sat in the car chatting about this and that, and were quite happy for a while.

Fang Yun sat silently to the side; the two had grown accustomed to his silence. More than an hour later, the car drove to the edge of a bamboo forest, from which a straight, flat asphalt road stretched out.

"Almost there!" Li Jiaying yawned.

Chapter 400 The Li Family Residence

"Miss, it seems the master hasn't returned yet. What do you think we should do?"

At this moment, the driver glanced back, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke up.

The master had instructed him to personally greet them, but something has delayed him and he hasn't returned yet.

In that case, it wouldn't be a problem to have someone else receive them, but I'm afraid the master might be unhappy if he finds out when he gets back.

"I see... How about we arrange the rooms next to my house first? I remember there are still a few vacant rooms."

The driver responded and then made a phone call to make arrangements.

At this moment, Fang Yun and Chen Xiaonan slowly saw the appearance of the Li family's "730" residence.

This is a rather large building complex, with white walls and gray tiles, clearly a renovation of an existing house. While preserving the basic charm of the ancient style, it has also added some modern touches.

"Wow, Jiaying, your house is so beautiful. I had thought about it a lot before, but I never expected it to be this big."

Although the Chen family mansion was considered large in Wuliu Town, it paled in comparison at this moment.

Li Jiaying felt a sense of pride and joy bringing her friends here, and immediately said generously, "Just tell us what you want to eat, our chefs here are pretty good."
