Chapter 251: Are You Trying to Monitor Me?

~7 min read 1,359 words

His eyes were filled with sincere and eager smiles.

Bai Wei smiled, "I went to visit relatives for a few days and came back in the middle of last night. Nothing happened at the Farm while I was away, right?"

"No." Chen Ming patted his chest and said proudly, "Dahuang and I have been guarding the Farm together."

As if to echo his words, Dahuang also gave a spirited "Woof."

The little red horse also came running over joyfully, snorting as it circled her incessantly.

Now it had grown into a large horse nearly as tall as a person, its red coat sleek and shiny, looking very majestic.

At the security post outside the Farm gate, Li Haiguo poked half his body out of the window, holding a thermos cup, and greeted her with a smile.

Bai Wei also smiled, nodded at him, and then reached out to pat the little red horse.

She looked up at everything before her.

This was her familiar home.

All around were her familiar friends.

"Rumble—"

Outside the Farm gate, a burst of mechanical roaring sounded.

Bai Wei was stunned and turned to ask Chen Ming.

"Why is it so noisy outside?"

Chen Ming gestured with his hands.

"The Archaeology Team... is digging the foundation; they want to, want to build a house."

"The Archaeology Team came to my Farm gate to build a house?" Bai Wei was also surprised.

She hurriedly walked outside the gate and looked up.

Sure enough!

The field originally opposite the Farm had been turned over and transformed into a construction site.

A giant excavator was digging up soil.

On the construction site, there were also several construction workers wearing Helmets, busy working.

Bai Wei was dumbfounded.

What was going on?

She had only been to Daliang for a few days, and the Archaeology Team had moved to her doorstep?

Just then, a familiar, cold voice came from the left.

"Bai Wei, I heard you went to visit relatives and only came back today?"

Bai Wei snapped out of it and saw that the person standing beside her was Zhou Yuchuan.

He was still dressed in simple attire, a spotless white shirt, black trousers, wearing rimless glasses, looking fresh, handsome, and gentle.

"Zhou Yuchuan, what exactly is going on?" As soon as Bai Wei saw him, she pointed angrily at the construction site, "Isn't the Archaeology Team supposed to be at the King Tomb? Why are you moving to my doorstep?"

Zhou Yuchuan seemed to have expected her reaction; he wasn't angry at all, but instead spoke with a smile.

"The National Archaeological Team is preparing to build an office in Qingshan Village to facilitate the future management of the Zhenbei King Tomb, so they bought this plot of land in front of your house to build a house and set up a cultural exhibition point later."

"What?" Bai Wei's voice rose by nearly an octave, "The Zhenbei King Tomb is outside the village; you aren't building next to the tomb, but running to my doorstep? Are you trying to monitor me on purpose?"

She was truly furious!

Her Teleportation of items was meant to be done in secret.

To avoid prying eyes, she had even built high walls and installed electric fences around the Farm, just so she wouldn't be discovered.

If the Archaeology Team moved to the Farm gate, there would be people coming and going all day long.

Especially since they were going to build some "cultural exhibition hall," which was even more outrageous.

If it were a holiday and a large group of people from schools or organizations came to visit, causing a commotion, she would have no peace at all.

"Monitor? How could that be?" Zhou Yuchuan smiled, "You haven't done anything shameful, so we don't need to monitor you."

"This..." Bai Wei was momentarily speechless.

She couldn't let them know about her Teleportation of items anyway.

Seeing her annoyed, Zhou Yuchuan couldn't help but smile, "What, you don't welcome us?"

"I don't welcome you." Bai Wei replied stiffly.

"Actually, we chose this location for the office to make it easier to protect you."

Bai Wei suddenly looked up and glared at him.

"I need your protection? No need."

Seeing her looking like she had swallowed Explosives, Zhou Yuchuan smiled helplessly.

"Bai Wei, have you thought about it? You have so many precious antiques; they are worth a fortune."

"Even if the villagers don't know now, your affairs have already spread across the country and even caused a sensation abroad."

"With so many treasures, it's inevitable that you will attract the covetous eyes of those with ulterior motives."

"Therefore, we are setting up the Archaeology Office here, and the military will also send a small team to station here, which can deter those who harbor ill intentions toward you."

After listening to Zhou Yuchuan, Bai Wei calmed down.

Actually, he was right.

She had considered this matter too.

The villagers were not interested in antiques and didn't visit antique exhibitions, so they didn't know about her affairs for the time being.

But how long could this be hidden?

She lived alone on a large Farm; even with electric fences, surveillance, and a few security guards, it was ultimately unsafe.

If the Archaeology Office were established and the military were stationed there, it would greatly improve her safety.

At the very least, the people in the Archaeology Team wouldn't spend all day thinking about stealing her antiques.

Besides, she could already use the Jade Pendant to teleport things now, so there was no need to drag her wardrobe around everywhere anymore.

Bai Wei raised her head and glared at him.

"Let's get this straight: I value my privacy, and I don't like people entering my Farm whenever they please."

"You aren't allowed to come looking for me whenever you want from now on, and you are not to approach the Farm without my permission."

Zhou Yuchuan smiled and raised both hands, "Don't worry, this is your territory; you're the boss."

Seeing his serious expression, Bai Wei couldn't help but chuckle, and the anger in her heart vanished without a trace.

Zhou Yuchuan laughed too, produced a cup of fruit tea from somewhere, and handed it to her.

"Here you go."

The fruit tea was still cold, and Bai Wei took it and had a sip.

The aroma of lemon green tea dispelled the last trace of displeasure in her heart.

Bai Wei looked up at the construction site, "Could you call two workers over to help me move some furniture to the Warehouse?"

Her wardrobe was still on the Recreational Vehicle, and it needed to be moved into the Warehouse to make it convenient for teleporting things in the future.

"How about I help you move it?" Zhou Yuchuan teased.

"Professor Zhou, I wouldn't dare trouble you," Bai Wei refused.

This man was not easy to fool, and she was afraid he would discover the secret of the wardrobe.

Zhou Yuchuan didn't insist; he turned around, waved his hand, and called over two construction workers.

"She wants to move some furniture; please help her out."

"No problem, Professor Zhou." The two construction workers agreed readily; moving furniture was a small matter and wouldn't take much effort.

Just as Zhou Yuchuan was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed.

"Hiss..."

He reached out to cover his forehead, his face turned pale instantly, and a layer of cold sweat quickly seeped out on his brow.

"Zhou Yuchuan, what's wrong?" Bai Wei was startled and hurried forward, checking on him nervously, "Where do you feel unwell?"

"I'm... I'm fine..." Zhou Yuchuan squeezed the words through his teeth, his originally handsome and aloof face twisting in pain.

But even though he said that, Bai Wei could see he was enduring agony, so she said quickly.

"Go rest in the Farm quickly, I'll call a doctor."

"No need..."

"What do you mean no need? You're in so much pain! I'm not your girlfriend, there's no need for you to act tough!" Without another word, Bai Wei immediately signaled the two construction workers to help Zhou Yuchuan into the Farm.
