After hanging up, Chu Chen curled his lip. Ma XiongLin's words had sounded convincing enough, but if he completely trusted someone like that, things might end up like the old saying went: he could be sold and still help the buyer count the money.
At that moment, Wu Ke asked, "Achen, was that tomb-raiding boss calling?"
Chu Chen nodded. "Yes. I'm worried it might not be safe later, so wait for us over with Captain Qi!"
Wu Ke took Chu Chen's hand and pleaded, "Achen, I want to go with you this time too. Is that okay?"
Chu Chen said gently, "Keke, be good and listen to me! If someone like him is pushed into a corner, there's nothing he won't do. Besides, we don't know what dangerous things he might have on him. I really don't want you to run into any danger."
"But I'm worried about you too!" Wu Ke said with concern written all over her face.
"With Hu Yong and me, we should be able to keep ourselves safe. Don't worry," Chu Chen said with a smile.
"This... all right. But you have to be careful!"
Wu Ke opened her mouth. She had wanted to say more, but then she realized that if she went along, she would indeed distract Chu Chen and might instead become a safety risk. She could only agree.
"Don't worry. I will..."
Chu Chen gave Wu Ke a reassuring look, then picked up his phone and called Qi Baolin.
As soon as the call connected, Qi Baolin's anxious voice came through. "Young Master Chu, is there some new development?"
"Yes. Ma XiongLin just called me."
"What did he say?"
"Nothing more than telling me to buy something. But he made one demand: he wants me to bring two hundred thousand euros
