Chapter 17 The Secret in the Box

Fortunately, Liu Chun and his team got the person to the hospital in time. If they had arrived any later, the person would never have woken up and would have passed away.

After quickly completing the basic procedures, the two finally had a rare moment of rest, sitting on a bench in the hospital corridor, leaning back and breathing.

"Thank you so much, Brother Liu."

Liu Chun was a little embarrassed by the praise, but he quickly recovered and asked, "What is your surname, elder brother?"

We had been trying to escape from that damn factory and hadn't had a chance to ask each other's names. Now that we've been through thick and thin together, we should at least know their names.

"My name is Zhang Man, and the other person in the ward is Li Qi. We both didn't want our lives to be arranged by others, so we decided to work together to start a business and make some money."

……

"Oh~" After chatting for a while, Liu Chun quickly steered the conversation back on track: "By the way, Brother Zhang, what exactly is in those boxes we've been transporting these past few nights?"

"Those people look so secretive, could it be something shady?"

Mentioning this, Zhang Man immediately recalled it, and after a while, he said to Liu Chun, "It is said that those things were all salvaged from ancient times. They are all expensive antiques, and each one is priceless."

"I overheard those people talking about this before, so I became more cautious and heard these words."

Antiques, and they were even transported from ancient times—how is that possible? Could they have been unearthed?

Liu Chun had been observing Brother Zhang Man the whole time, and the man didn't seem to be lying, so the news might be true.

"But Brother Zhang Man, I also saw a shipment of boxes before, and it wasn't locked. When I checked it, I found there was nothing inside. Are you sure it really contained antiques transported from ancient times?"

"I don't know about that." Faced with Liu Chun's question, Zhang Man could only shake his head: "I've only heard about this news. I don't know what's in the box. I haven't seen what's in the opened box."

Now things are getting more and more confusing, and even Liu Chun, who is about to uncover the answer, is not sure if what he thinks is right.

However, when Liu Chun examined the box earlier, he noticed that the compartments were unusually large. If it was indeed a box for storing ancient artifacts, then the compartments wouldn't need to be so wide and thick, unless... unless those ancient artifacts were hidden inside those wide and thick compartments in the box.

That's possible.

He shared his idea, and Brother Zhang Man believed whatever Liu Chun said, since Liu Chun was the only one who had seen what the box actually looked like. Regardless of the outcome, this was the closest he could get to the answer.

"Shouldn't we report this to the relevant departments in the capital as soon as possible?" Brother Zhang Man suggested.

If they want to resolve this problem permanently, they should send all those who want to harm them to prison, preferably never to come out again.

"If we really do that, it's very likely to alert them, and we can't be 100% sure that the box contains ancient artifacts, can we?" Liu Chun voiced his doubts, but upon reflection, he realized that was indeed the case.

"Let's see how it goes first... Oh right, when we escaped before, didn't we encounter a special forces soldier who looked like a 'mercenary'? I couldn't beat him either. If you encounter him in the future, you'd better stay away."

"it is good."

Liu Chun had other plans to make. After confirming that there was no immediate danger at the hospital, he left. He now needed to figure out how to deal with that "desperate criminal."

When he walked down the street, he would stop by hardware stores whenever he passed by, but he never bought anything when he came out. At a store near his home, he spent a few dozen yuan to buy a mask and a hat, which was better than nothing.

"I wonder if they'll come tonight?" Liu Chun looked up at the window of her apartment building. Both sides had agreed that if they were coming, they should wait at the door.

Just as Liu Chun was about to go upstairs, Liu Yifei walked out from the other side, and the two bumped into each other.

"Brother Chun!" Liu Yifei exclaimed, sounding pleasantly surprised. "Why aren't you resting at home this late? What are you doing running around outside?"

"No." Liu Chun kept glancing around and asked her, "But it's so late, why are you looking for me? It's not safe for a girl to be out alone, you have to remember that."

Liu Yifei skipped and hopped upstairs behind Liu Chun, saying as they went, "I heard from Director Zhang that all your scenes have been filmed without any problems. You've really changed a lot in just a few days."

"That's it?" Liu Chun replied casually, taking out the room key.

"Of course not!" Liu Yifei followed Liu Chun's footsteps and walked side by side.

"I'm so happy for you that you're able to focus on acting now. So, how about it? Are you looking to act in a new drama?"

To succeed with a role, you need to film more scenes and try more roles. Otherwise, it's not that easy to become successful.

So Liu Yifei came over today to see if Liu Chun really had any feelings for her. She'll just go over and see for herself, and silently cheer her on.

"Let's talk about this later!"

Due to a lot of recent events, and with Liu Chun being even busier than usual, it's still unknown whether he has successfully portrayed the character "Murong Fu".

Let's wait and see.

Before Liu Yifei could speak, Liu Chun fed her some freshly bought fruit: "Don't ask me about these things. When the time comes, I'll just play myself. You don't need to worry about me."

"I was just mentioning it casually."

The two entered the house safely. Unlike usual, this time there was no one sitting quietly on the sofa in the dark living room waiting for them, which was a bit normal for once.

"Sit down for a while."

Liu Chun put down the fruit and walked towards the bathroom.

While taking a shower, Liu Chun suddenly heard Liu Yifei calling out, "Brother Chun, when did you buy a small suitcase?"

Liu Chun, who was rinsing her clothes, asked with some confusion, "What kind of box do I have at home?"

"The one you put under the table, a black box that shimmers with white light, not too big or too small, kind of like a jewelry box."

Upon hearing her say that, Liu Chun knew what the box looked like without having to recall it, but this box shouldn't be in her house!

"Listen carefully, don't touch that box. I'm coming out right away."

Despite Liu Chun's warning, Liu Yifei still secretly opened it first.

She opened the box and then closed it and put it aside, because there was nothing inside and it was quite heavy. She really didn't know how much stuff Liu Chun could put in such a box.

A moment later, Liu Chun hurriedly put on his clothes and rushed out of the bathroom. When he saw that the box had not been opened, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.

"This box wasn't anything special to begin with, so I moved it to the bedroom. It's just getting in the way here."

"Anyway, there's nothing inside, so it's fine to just take it and put it away."

Upon hearing this, Liu Chun stopped and slowly opened the box.
