At the row of tables nearest her, several people were holding a camera and photographing the things on the table.
Several gold bars and a flat, square plaque lay on the table.
That was probably the gold medal Wu Tao Ying had mentioned.
They turned the objects over and over, photographing every side of the gold bars and the gold medal several times.
A crucible furnace stood beside them, with someone operating it.
Crucible furnaces were common laboratory equipment. Heated by electric resistance wires, they could reach temperatures of 1,200-1,600 degrees Celsius, easily melting precious metals such as gold, silver, and copper.
It looked as though... they wanted to melt down the things the Wu Family had dug up?!
Why melt them down?
After all the planning and effort it had taken to obtain them...
Why melt them down!
Just then, the middle-aged man who resembled A Pu walked over, holding a gold bar.
He said something to the person operating the furnace, then tossed the gold bar into the crucible furnace without batting an eye.
Song Ning's heart jolted.
In just a few dozen seconds, that gold bar would melt into liquid gold.
Then the person beside him handed over the gold bars and the plaque from the table.
The middle-aged man tossed another gold bar inside.
Song Ning had seen the gold bars before. Presumably, the inscriptions on them were much the same.
But that gold medal... what was engraved on it?
Could it contain some crucial information?
Unfortunately... hidden outside the window, she could do nothing but fret!
She watched the gold bars being thrown into the furnace one after another.
Then the man picked up the gold medal...
Song Ning's heart... rose into her throat!
Just then, someone entered her field of vision...
Song Ning's heart
