I work as a security guard at a cemetery, and I overhear the dead chatting about getting rich quick.

After sending the message "backcourt box", Lin Ye put his phone back on his lap.

He didn't look up, nor did he look at Gu Wantang.

In places like this, a glance is more likely to give away a secret than a message.

The bronze animal-face-patterned zun on the platform has been covered with a velvet cloth again.

Two men in black carried the low platform backward.

The tea tables downstairs started making noise again.

Someone chuckled softly, saying that the previous item "tasted quite well."

Some people said it was a pity they didn't get to try it.

Some people pretended not to care, but their hands remained on the rim of their teacups.

Bai Jingchuan stood beside the low platform, his smile returning.

He had already tucked the awkwardness from before back into his sleeve.

Gu Wantang glanced down at her phone.

Just one glance.

Then she put her phone face down on the table and picked up her teacup.

"Mr. Bai."

Bai Jingchuan turned around.

"Miss Gu?"

Gu Wantang looked at the low platform that was being carried away.

"Since you've taken it out, why not let people see it clearly?"

Bai Jingchuan laughed and said, "Tonight is an elegant gathering, not an appraisal meeting."

That's strange.

Gu Wantang's tone was indifferent.

"Open your eyes but don't let them see."

The two tea tables nearby heard it.

No one responded.

But some people's smiles faded a bit.

Bai Jingchuan wasn't in a hurry.

"Miss Gu would like to take a closer look?"

"No rush."

Gu Wantang put down her teacup.

"I just think it's pointless to bring out something that's hard to see and make everyone guess whether it's real or fake."

She didn't say anything too harsh.

But Bai Jingchuan's expression changed slightly.

Lin Ye sat beside him, his fingers gently pressing against his knees.

He understood that Gu Wantang was stalling.

Hold Bai Jingchuan back.

It also distracted the people downstairs.

That white refrigerated box in the backcourt can at least buy a few more seconds.

The phone vibrated in my palm.

Lin Ye lowered his head, pretending to adjust his coat.

Tao Shuang sent a message.

A small truck just entered the back alley.

The license plate was obscured.

Leave after three minutes.

Ning Zhi kept watch from outside.

Lin Ye's eyelids twitched.

The cold chain box in the back area has been here for a while.

It was just delivered.

He replied:

Don't let Ningzhi get too close.

Tao Shuang replied:

I have already reminded you.

The next message came from Ning Zhi.

I didn't go near.

Behind the pancake stall.

Lin Ye looked at the words, but his heart didn't relax at all.

Ningzhi said she didn't get close, which usually means she did.

He pressed the phone back against his knee.

Bai Jingchuan then spoke again.

"Miss Gu is quite irritable tonight."

Gu Wantang said calmly, "I haven't been sleeping much lately."

"Too much family stuff?"

"It can't compare to Mr. Bai's place."

Bai Jingchuan smiled.

"I'm just here to drink tea."

Gu Wantang said, "You've gotten so engrossed in tea that even Hongyun Cold Chain Logistics has come to help?"

As soon as he said that, two people downstairs looked up at the same time.

One of them is that bald man.

The other was a young man in a light-colored suit in the corner.

Lin Ye did not look at Gu Wantang.

He was looking at Pei Jingluan.

Behind the second-floor railing, Pei Jingluan finally put down her teacup.

The bottom of the cup landed on the wooden table with a sound so soft it was almost inaudible.

Bai Jingchuan's smile remained.

But his right index finger touched his cuff.

soon.

Like a small, uncontrolled movement.

Lin Ye noted it down.

Bai Jingchuan gets nervous when he hears "Hongyun Cold Chain".

Pei Jingluan heard this, but was not in a hurry.

This shows that Hongyun Cold Chain is not the thing Pei Jingluan is most afraid of being mentioned.

Bai Jingchuan chuckled softly, "Miss Gu is joking. There are cars coming and going in the secondhand market every day, who knows what's parked outside?"

Gu Wantang did not answer.

She only glanced at him.

That look wasn't cold.

But this left no room for Bai Jingchuan's subsequent words.

Pei Jingluan, who was on the second floor, spoke up.

"Since Miss Gu wants to see it, then let her see it."

Bai Jingchuan looked up.

"Mr. Pei?"

Pei Jingluan leaned back in her chair.

"Bring that one from the stage back."

The area downstairs quieted down for a moment.

Bai Jingchuan quickly smiled and said, "Okay."

He turned and gave instructions to the man in black.

The two men in black went back into the back area.

When the curtain was lifted, a faint coolness wafted out.

Not obvious.

But it's different from the air conditioner in the living room.

It walked close to the ground, carrying a little moisture.

Lin Ye was sitting close by and first felt a chill on his ankle.

He looked down at his teacup.

A water droplet appeared on the outside of the cup.

It's not tea.

It's the dampness brought in by the air conditioning.

Lin Ye had seen this kind of tide before.

The carriage wall in Zhou Qin's video.

Water stains in vehicle 02 of the old cold storage.

A17 moisture-proof board with concealed compartment.

The pile of these things together made him particularly sensitive to the word "cold".

The man in black carried the bronze vessel back.

Bai Jingchuan personally unveiled the velvet cloth.

This time, several people got up and approached.

Gu Wantang also stood up.

Lin Ye got up as well, but didn't push forward.

He acted like a novice.

I want to see it, but I'm afraid it will block my way.

I want to get closer, but I'm afraid of breaking something.

The bald man first examined the body of the weapon.

An old man in a Tang suit is looking at the soles of his feet.

The young man in the light-colored suit kept staring at Bai Jingchuan's face.

Lin Ye made another note of this in his mind.

A light-colored suit is not for looking at instruments.

He was watching to see if Bai Jingchuan would panic.

Gu Wantang walked to the low platform but did not reach out.

She only glanced at it.

"The light is too warm."

Bai Jingchuan said, "This lamp is comfortable for viewing bronze artifacts."

Gu Wantang said, "It's comfortable to look at fakes too."

The smile on Bai Jingchuan's face completely vanished.

Someone downstairs took a soft breath.

Pei Jingluan chuckled from the second floor.

"Miss Gu, you've gone too far with your words."

Gu Wantang looked up at him.

"I didn't say it was fake."

She paused for a moment.

I said, "The lamp."

He took his words back.

Bai Jingchuan couldn't retaliate.

Pei Jingluan did not answer the call again.

Lin Ye, standing to the side, suddenly felt that Gu Wantang was a terrifying person.

She didn't flip the table.

She simply placed her hand on the edge of the table, letting everyone know that she could flip it over at any moment.

My phone vibrated again.

It's Lu Zhixia.

Don't let yourself be led astray by the stage.

If the rear air conditioning is significantly cold, there may be a need for temperature control inside the box.

Look at the wheels, the ground, and the watermarks.

After sweeping, Lin Ye immediately put his phone away.

Don't keep your head down for too long.

When he looked up again, he saw a bit of wooden floorboard peeking out from under the curtain at the back.

There was a very thin damp mark on the floor.

It extends from behind the curtain into the small corridor on the right.

not long.

It's very new.

That white refrigerated box must have been pushed over from there.

Lin Ye looked to his right.

The door to the small corridor on the right was half-closed.

A young man dressed in black was standing at the door.

The young people did not watch the bronze vessel on the platform.

He kept staring at the end of the corridor.

This is enough.

The truly important things are not on the stage.

Behind that corridor.

Bai Jingchuan covered the bronze vessel again.

This time, he did not have them carried away immediately.

Instead, he turned to the crowd and said with a smile, "Since Miss Gu doesn't like the lights, then we can look at them later."

He gave instructions to the man in black.

"Place it in the side hall first."

Side hall.

Lin Ye followed his gaze.

Not the backcourt.

It's the side door on the other side.

The piece on stage was moved to the side hall.

The refrigerated box in the back was pushed into the small corridor on the right.

One light and one dark.

Two lines.

If you only focus on the words "Bronze Beast-Face Pattern Zun" tonight, you'll be led astray by the piece on stage.

Gu Wantang returned to her seat.

As Lin Ye sat down, his phone vibrated slightly in his palm.

It's Gu Wantang.

Did you see it?

Lin Ye typed blindly with his thumb.

The dampness extends to the right side of the small corridor.

Someone is guarding the gate.

The cold chain box went in.

Gu Wantang replied:

Don't look at it for too long.

Lin Ye locked his phone.

Just then, Bai Jingchuan walked back.

His gaze fell on Lin Ye's hand.

Lin Ye didn't rush to hide his phone.

Being too hasty will only make things look fake.

He placed his phone on the table, screen down, like a bored young man who had just finished scrolling through his messages.

Bai Jingchuan sat down and smiled.

"Young man, are you bored because you keep your head down?"

Lin Ye looked up.

"A little."

Bai Jingchuan's smile deepened.

"Still boring tonight's show?"

Lin Ye said, "If you can't understand it, it's boring."

That sounds like the truth.

Bai Jingchuan stared at him.

"So what do you find interesting?"

Lin Ye thought for a moment.

"Have a meal."

The bald man actually laughed this time.

The old man in the Tang suit also twitched the corner of his mouth.

Bai Jingchuan, however, did not laugh.

His gaze lingered on Lin Ye's face for a second before returning to his phone.

Lin Ye knew that he might have seen him send the message.

This person is more difficult to deal with than Gu Mingyuan.

Gu Mingyuan's anxiety was evident.

Bai Jingchuan got anxious and laughed first.

Upstairs, Pei Jingluan suddenly said, "Bai Jingchuan."

Bai Jingchuan looked up.

Pei Jingluan spoke in a very indifferent tone.

"If a young person is bored, take him to see something interesting."

Bai Jingchuan's smile faltered slightly.

Lin Ye's heart sank for a moment.

Gu Wantang put down her teacup.

"What does Mr. Pei want him to see?"

Pei Jingluan did not answer her.

He looked at the forest.

"Aren't you good at judging people?"

Lin Ye looked up.

Pei Jingluan said, "There are plenty of people behind you, enough for you to see."

There was a moment of silence after he said that.

Bai Jingchuan stood up.

"Then I'll take the little brother for a walk around."

Gu Wantang did not speak immediately.

Her phone vibrated under the table.

It should be Tao Shuang.

Lin Ye gently pressed the edge of the phone with his finger.

Emergency trigger not activated.

It's not the right time yet.

Gu Wantang glanced at Lin Ye.

very short.

It's like asking him if he can hold on.

Lin Ye lowered his head and smiled.

"Mr. Bai, is there any food in the back?"

Bai Jingchuan finally smiled.

"There are tea and snacks."

"Alright."

Lin Ye stood up.

Gu Wantang's voice was very flat.

"Don't go too far."

Bai Jingchuan smiled and said, "Miss Gu, don't worry, she's with me, she won't get lost."

That doesn't sound like a nice thing to say.

Lin Ye followed Bai Jingchuan down the right-hand corridor.

The closer you get to that door, the more noticeable the cold air becomes.

The young man in black at the door saw Bai Jingchuan and took a half step back.

Bai Jingchuan did not push the door open immediately.

He turned to look at the woods.

"Young man, are you really a cemetery security guard?"

Lin Ye nodded.

"real."

Are you afraid of dead people?

"I'm not afraid."

"Afraid of living people?"

Lin Ye looked at him and smiled.

"It depends."

Bai Jingchuan also smiled.

"Then you'd better keep a close eye on things tonight."

After he finished speaking, he pushed open the door to the small corridor on the right.

There is no warehouse behind the door.

It was a very narrow tea room.

Inside were tea trays, snacks, and a kettle.

It looks very ordinary.

There is no cold chain box.

There was no red seal.

Lin Ye was not immediately disappointed.

Because the wet marks on the ground were still there.

The damp stain circled around the center of the tea room and stopped in front of the innermost row of cabinets.

The cabinet is very tall.

The wooden door is a bit newer in color than the two sides.

Bai Jingchuan picked up a plate of snacks and handed it to Lin Ye.

"Want something to eat?"

Lin Ye took it.

The plate was very small.

Inside are two pieces of mung bean cake.

He didn't eat.

I just glanced down at it.

In that brief moment of looking down, he noticed two tire tracks under the cabinet.

It's very narrow.

Newly pressed.

Next to the wheel mark, there was still a small patch of water that hadn't dried.

The cold chain box is not absent.

They were pushed behind the cabinet.

There is a hidden door in this tea room.

Lin Ye held the snacks, his heart pounding, but he didn't show it on his face.

He looked up at Bai Jingchuan.

"Mr. Bai."

"Um?"

Lin Ye glanced at the mung bean cake in his hand.

"Do you use cold chain logistics for your pastries too?"

Bai Jingchuan's smile finally faded.
