He actually couldn't even see the light from the entrance of the tunnel. They were at least several hundred meters underground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nonsense, if I don't dig a little deeper, what if someone discovers it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Bumian landed beside those few chests. His gaze was like it was drawn by a magnet, staring fixedly at them. After forcefully opening one of them, the heavy gold was exposed to the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this scene, Sun Bumian finally relaxed a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn't completely let his guard down. Instead, he opened and inspected all the other chests. Only after confirming that not even a single piece was missing did he let out a long sigh of relief...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't lie to you.\" Chen Ling spoke at the opportune moment. \"Your gold, I haven't touched a single piece.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Bumian looked at the gold before him, then looked at Chen Ling...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You go up first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that you know this place, I have to find another place to hide it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling was instantly a bit speechless, but seeing Sun Bumian's persistent expression, he still nodded and directly flew out of the tunnel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, Chen Ling heard bursts of deafening, rumbling roars coming from underground. They lasted for a long time before disappearing. He had no idea where Sun Bumian had transferred the gold to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right at this moment, a hurried cell phone ringtone sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Director Chen, how are things on your end?\" Yang Xiao's voice came from the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...It went relatively smoothly. What about you guys?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The few of us have rendezvoused. None of us suffered any real injuries, and Dr. Su even tied up a hostage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A hostage??\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, a hostage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xiao glanced at the university student who was tied up like a dumpling, his expression a bit subtle. \"The others all ran away, leaving only the youngest one behind. We're currently interrogating him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other end of the phone, Chen Ling was silent for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you guys... actually interrogate him properly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xun walked slowly to Zhou Liang's side and hauled him up from the ground, his tone bone-chillingly cold:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speak! What is your purpose in abducting Chu Changqing? Where are you taking him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know.\" The young university student stubbornly craned his neck, wearing an expression of Facing Death With Courage. \"I don't know anything!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Zhiwei's eyes narrowed slightly. \"Do you really think we have no way to deal with you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whatever methods you have, just use them. I won't say a single word.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xun and Su Zhiwei exchanged a glance, and the air fell into silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xiao sighed and answered truthfully:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...We can't interrogate him properly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling wasn't surprised by this answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the final analysis, all three of them were scientific researchers. From childhood to adulthood, they had buried their heads in their studies. Let alone bullying someone, they hadn't even killed a chicken before... Asking them to torture a young university student? It was a bit too much to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling wanted to say leave the interrogation to him, but he suddenly realized that he had already been brought to Badong by Sun Bumian. He was separated from Shanghai by a hundred and eight thousand li, and even a high-speed train would take several hours...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he were to head back now, the save file time limit would likely expire while he was still on the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, we searched him and found an item on him,\" Yang Xiao suddenly spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's a badge, and an Invitation Card... it seems to be for something called the Wushan Conference. The date is the day after tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Wushan Conference?\" Chen Ling frowned. \"What is that...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're going to the Wushan Conference?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Bumian's voice came from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling turned his head and saw that Sun Bumian's face and head were covered in dirt, looking as if he had just grown out of the ground. Even if Sun Bumian said he had buried the gold in the center of the earth, Chen Ling would believe him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know about it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course I know. If it weren't for you giving me that damn phone call, I would have already landed in Wushan by now and would be taking my shuttle bus to rest at the hotel.\" Sun Bumian's tone was incredibly resentful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is this conference for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's nothing much. Just gathering a bunch of Divine Path Possessors for a meeting to get to know the newcomers... I remember this conference used to be called the Intangible Cultural Heritage Conference. It seems to have changed its name this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Chen Ling's mind, the Intangible Cultural Heritage Conference that Xiao Chunping had mentioned to him at the Su Embroidery museum immediately surfaced. She and the vast majority of the people in the phonebook had met at this conference... Sun Bumian included.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was Ying Fu doing at this Wushan Conference?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if realizing something, Chen Ling's brows furrowed tighter and tighter...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can I attend this conference?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You? Did you receive an invitation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling was currently wanted by the entire Bureau 749. Just not being chased all over the world was already good enough. How could they possibly issue him an Invitation Card?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then you can't go.\" Sun Bumian shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The restrictions for this conference are very strict. They will meticulously check the identity of every participant against the records. You can't get in without an invitation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling could easily forge the Invitation Card and badge, but if Bureau 749 verified the identity list, it would be troublesome... unless he were to kill someone who originally possessed the qualifications right now and infiltrate it while disguised as them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first person Chen Ling thought of was the university student who had just been caught. However, he quickly rejected this idea. That person was Ying Fu's subordinate. If he entered the conference under his identity, Ying Fu would see through him immediately, and he would instead fall into a passive position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there really no other way?\" Chen Ling looked at Sun Bumian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is... but why should I help you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am your future companion,\" Chen Ling said solemnly. \"Otherwise, I wouldn't know the location where you hide your gold, would I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Bumian remained silent for a long while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is also just your side of the story... What if you are my enemy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling slowly extended a single finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What does that mean? Shh? Telling me to Shut Up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One thousand kilograms of gold. Take me into the Wushan Conference.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I suddenly find you quite pleasing to the eye. You shouldn't be an enemy.\" Sun Bumian grabbed that finger, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly. \"Deal!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How do we do it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Simple. Just let me say you're my assistant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...It's that simple? Didn't you say I needed an Invitation Card and a badge?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aiya, let's go, let's go. I guarantee you can get in!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pushed by Sun Bumian, Chen Ling walked into the distance with a weird expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the figure in the Great Crimson Theatrical Robe gradually walked away into the Wilderness, the smile on Sun Bumian's face gradually faded. A faint glimmer flashed through those nested, ring-like pupils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Chen Ling could step into Sun Bumian's perspective at this moment, he would be able to see the gold and black energies of Auspiciousness and Calamity. It was unknown when they had already occupied his pupils...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortune-Misfortune Divination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking between the Auspiciousness and Calamity at that Theatrical Robe figure slowly walking forward, Sun Bumian seemed to have guessed something, and his eyes narrowed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He brushed the dust off the hem of his sleeves and followed behind Chen Ling unhurriedly, muttering to himself:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was wondering why he looked so familiar...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Theater Dao is destined to rise...\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1344,"2026-05-30T14:16:32.778Z","2026-06-01T04:31:26.536Z",1,"novelbin.me","5088c9ca2ffeb0f7ce9eb2ade298e5ba6c6c818ce60aa3eee4e23acd329bb3e7","i-am-not-the-god-of-drama-chapter-1155","i-am-not-the-god-of-drama-chapter-1153",1902,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-am-not-the-god-of-drama-cover.jpg"]
