Chapter 2789

Jian Qiu thought for a moment and said: "If the mastermind behind this is the Fan family, then the operator is not hard to guess."

Zhou Andong nodded: "Only the Materials Bureau can make these building material suppliers obey, because if they don't obey, the Materials Bureau can cut off their lifeline."

Jian Qiu casually picked up Zhou Andong's teacup and took a sip, then said: "Because of the investment from Yuxi Huangting, Qiudongfang's domestic headquarters is stationed here, plus Jin Dun Security and the cooperation of the two major departments, as well as the reform of the woolen mill, we can say that we are currently in a honeymoon period with the city."

Even if some people in the city Materials Bureau have water in their brains, they would never dare to scheme against us behind our backs. So, the person pulling the strings should be from the National Materials Bureau, and their position wouldn't be low, holding the power of material allocation and approval.

Zhou Andong took a puff of his cigarette: "The Fan family fled the capital and returned to their hometown to farm, but those who once depended on the Yin family are still there. Moreover, because they are too deeply involved, if Fan Mingqing really wants them to do something, they truly cannot refuse."

Jian Qiu picked up the phone and dialed Yue Guojiang's office; soon the call connected, and Yue Guojiang's low voice came through: "I am Yue Guojiang, who is this?"

"Uncle Yue, I am Jian Qiu." Jian Qiu got straight to the point and told Yue Guojiang about her and Zhou Andong's analysis.

Yue Guojiang felt a headache coming on; he truly hadn't expected that the Fan family's shadow was behind this matter. If Zhou Andong hadn't given him this big gift of Jin Dun Security, he would absolutely not have gotten involved. But since he has taken the benefit, he can only follow Zhou Dongzi down this path to the end.

"I understand. I'll wait for Zhao Hong's side to have results before saying more."

"Then that's it." Jian Qiu hung up the phone and then silently laughed; even though she hadn't seen it, she could guess Yue Guojiang's mood at this moment.

Zhou Andong also laughed, raising his wrist to check the time: "This afternoon, Xiao Fan came to find me."

"He didn't go to class?" Jian Qiu frowned: "What does he want from you? Did he cause trouble?"

"No!" Zhou Andong said: "Do you remember me telling you about the little girl I saved?"

"Remember!" Jian Qiu nodded: "Her name is Yu Miao, right?"

"Right!" Zhou Andong explained the situation: "I think the things left by Xiao Yu'er's grandfather for her are not simple, so I plan to go check tonight. Are you coming?"

"Of course!" Jian Qiu said enthusiastically: "I'm also very curious, so of course I have to go."

Zhou Andong tidied up, stuffing the manuscript into his briefcase: "Let's go, we'll get off work soon. We'll go to Auntie's house to pick up Xiao Yu'er, then go eat."

The two had just stepped out of the office when they saw Gu Bing walking over; this guy, seeing Jian Qiu's surprised expression, said: "Qiqi, why are you here?"

Jian Qiu said unhappily: "Can't I come here?"

Gu Bing laughed and said: "Dongzi has been in office for so long, and you only came now; there must be something going on."

"There is." Zhou Andong looked around furtively, leaned closer to Gu Bing, and lowered his voice: "Tonight we're going tomb raiding. Are you coming?"

"Tomb raiding?" Gu Bing stared in disbelief, then chuckled: "Whose tomb are we robbing? Is it the Qing Eastern Tombs or the Eight Princes' Graves, or maybe the Thirteen Tombs or the Dabaotai Western Han Tomb?"

Zhou Andong said unhappily: "These have all been excavated already; you still expect to steal something out?"

Gu Bing laughed: "With your abilities, Zhou Andong, getting those cultural relics out wouldn't be easy either?"

Zhou Andong stopped bothering with this idiot, pulled Jian Qiu along, and said: "Let's go, wife, don't bother with this idiot."

Jian Qiu was pulled along by Zhou Andong, turned her head, and whispered: "We're really going tomb raiding tonight."

Hearing Jian Qiu's words, Gu Bing froze, then quickly stepped up: "No, you just said that was real?"

"Of course it's real!" Zhou Andong lowered his voice again: "I'm currently writing a novel about tomb raiding and need to gain experience."

"Damn!" Gu Bing still didn't believe it: "Really or fake?"

"Of course it's real." Zhou Andong opened his briefcase, took out the manuscript of Ghost Blowing Lamp: "Look!"

Gu Bing took it; the first page had the three characters "Ghost Blowing Lamp" very prominent: "This... this is real?"

Jian Qiu bit her lip, trying not to laugh out loud: "Of course it's real. Are you coming or not?"

Gu Bing flipped through the manuscript, quickly glanced at it, and already believed Zhou Andong's words by eighty percent: "Let's go, such a fun thing I must go."

Zhou Andong took the manuscript back, put it back in the briefcase: "You're not afraid?"

"Afraid of what?" Gu Bing puffed out his chest: "I'm not even afraid of people, so why would I be afraid of ghosts?"

"Good man!" Zhou Andong patted Gu Bing's shoulder: "Let's go, we'll go pick someone up, then go eat, but you're treating."

Gu Bing immediately objected: "Why should I treat?"

Zhou Andong said unhappily: "I'm responsible for buying tomb raiding equipment, Wentian and the others handle the digging, and the person we're going to pick up is responsible for showing the way. If you don't treat, what can you do?"

Gu Bing opened his mouth, finally said unwillingly: "Then what about Qiuqiu? She's also coming along; what can she do?"

Zhou Andong looked at Gu Bing with disdain: "Qiuqiu is your sister, she's my wife, you big old man comparing yourself to her—this is all the ambition you have."

Gu Bing's face couldn't hold up, he gritted his teeth: "Fine, I'll treat. Hope you didn't lie to me, otherwise I'll definitely make you look bad."

"You're Qiuqiu's fifth brother, and also my fifth brother; how could I lie to you?" Zhou Andong said while pushing open the factory department's door, because it was almost time to get off work, Wang Wentian had already parked the car at the entrance.

"Wentian!" Zhou Andong ordered: "Go to logistics and borrow five iron shovels and two picks, then drive over."

"Yes!" Wang Wentian didn't ask what for, turned and got into the car.

Gu Bing complained unhappily: "You said you were going to buy them, why are you going to logistics to borrow?"

"You know nothing." Zhou Andong lowered his voice: "The most important things for tomb raiding aren't iron shovels and picks; you'll find out later."

Gu Bing always felt Zhou Andong was fooling him again, but couldn't find evidence: "Fine, I'll wait to see what trick you're pulling."

Soon, Wang Wentian came back, got out of the car and said: "Chairman, the things have been borrowed."

"You drive my car!" Jian Qiu threw the car keys to Gu Bing, then got into her man's car.

Gu Bing looked at the keys in his hand, blinked, smacked his lips, and finally asked helplessly: "Where are we going now?"

Jian Qiu said: "Go to my aunt's place; you know, just follow behind."

Gu Bing sighed, stepped toward the not-far parking lot.
