Chapter 111 - Reporting It

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The only thing Lu Ye could think of now was to tell Lu Yi about digging out the tomb. However, when Lu Ye arrived at Lu Yi’s study, he found Lu Yi slumped on the floor with a dejected look.

“Dad?” Lu Ye shouted with a trembling voice. He could not believe that his omnipotent father would be helpless about this matter. If that was the case, how could he take revenge on Su Yan? How could he trample Su Yan’s face?

Lu Yi’s dull eyes slowly moved. After a while, he finally came back to his senses and mumbled, “How did this happen?”

“Dad… what should we do? The company’s funds have all been invested in the east of the city, and we’ve mortgaged a loan with the bank. If this project doesn’t go on as planned, we don’t know how much losses we’ll incur.”

How could Lu Yi not know what Lu Ye was talking about?

He did have some old friends, but they were actually just a bunch of people who gathered together because of benefits. They were people who would forget about righteousness when they saw profit. If they found out about his current predicament, how could they help him?

They would have a conscience if they didn’t step on him.

He shook his head and gave up on the idea of borrowing money from his old friends. Now, the only thing left was to hide this ancient tomb and give the people present a hush money.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he had this thought, a call came in. It was from the national archeological team. They said that they had received news of this tomb.

Patter.

The phone slipped out of Lu Yi’s hand and fell to the ground with a dull thud. However, Lu Yi had no time to care. There was only one thought in his mind. It was over.

He was really done for.

Lu Yi was furious and upset, he felt that his future was bleak. On the other hand, Su Yan chuckled and switched off her phone.

That’s right. The person who reported the ancient tomb in the east of the city was Su Yan. Su Yan had used the listening device that she had placed under Lu Ye’s bed previously. For some reason, Lu Ye had brought it home. Although the sounds were intermittent after she brought it home, it was enough.

It was enough for Su Yan to hear that Lu Ye and the rest had dug out the tomb.

According to China’s law, if an ancient tomb was dug up during construction, it should be immediately reported. After the archaeological team conducted an investigation, if the situation was suitable, they would immediately start an inspection. However, this inspection would take at least three to five years, and during this period, the construction site was not allowed to be constructed.

This was practically dragging it out. Every day they dragged it out would cost him a lot of money.

However, if the situation was unsuitable, then the tomb would have to be sealed to ensure the integrity of the cultural relics to the greatest extent. It would be even more impossible for the construction company to build on the plot of land.

Therefore, as long as this matter was reported, it would be a bolt out of the blue for Lu Yi and his son.

According to the financial situation of the Lu father and son, as well as the current progress of construction, as long as it dragged on for half a month, the bank would not allow them to continue lending.

Su Yan narrowed her eyes. “I really want to know what you guys will do under such circumstances.”

Looking out through the glass, Su Yan seemed to have crossed through time and space. She could directly see the tragic end of Lu Yi and Lu Ye in the future. It was really satisfying.

Su Yan, who was in a good mood, wanted to call Shi Qing again to tell him about this good news. However, before her phone lit up, Yan Tang called again.

This time, Yan Tang’s voice sounded a little depressed. “Miss Yun, what should we do? Our television drama is not approved by the higher-ups.” Yan Tang felt that his throat was a little dry. Why did the higher-ups not approve of such a good television drama?

Su Yan had invested in Yan Tang to film this television drama which had just wrapped up filming not long ago. No one had expected that Yan Tang could complete the editing and post-production in such a short time.

Su Yan wanted to ask someone to speak slowly, but Yan Tang’s eyes were swollen. He said with a sobbing tone, “I heard that someone greeted the higher-ups.”

Someone had already greeted the higher-ups? Su Yan recalled the people in the production team who did not have any reputation and guessed that the person was targeting her.

Suddenly, the face of Yan Liang from that day appeared in Su Yan’s mind. She heard that Yan Liang was not a good person and had a good relationship with his superiors. If Yan Liang wanted to take revenge on her for not giving him face at the exchange meeting that day, it was very possible.

With a suspect, Su Yan’s heart calmed down a little. She could even turn around to comfort Yan Tang, who did not seem to be in a good mood. “Leave this to me. No matter what, this is the first television drama I invested in. I won’t let it die so easily.”

It was as if after listening to Su Yan’s words, Yan Tang felt emboldened. His emotions gradually stabilized and his reason returned. Yan Tang felt a little ashamed of his actions just now and said shyly, “Sorry Miss Yun, I was too agitated just now..”
