Sitting at the edge of the stadium, propping up her chin while watching Huo Shao Ting dressed in a white dress shirt and suit pants playing basketball with the children on the court.
She had never seen such a relaxed and unrestrained Huo Shao Ting before.
As the sun set in the west, the afterglow shrouded the village, with wisps of cooking smoke rising up while the lively sounds on the basketball court gradually faded away.
"I didn't expect Boss Huo to actually be so skilled at playing basketball."
Rong Dai smiled as she wiped the sweat off him, and only then did the husband and wife hold hands as they returned to the house.
After dinner, the couple were in the yard looking up at the starry sky when Huang Expert hurriedly came over.
Huang Expert was holding a password box, followed behind by an assistant and students, and all of their feet were wrapped in thick yellow mud.
"Boss Huo."
Upon seeing Huo Shao Ting, Huang Expert discarded the stern demeanor he had in front of his students.
"Go eat first, then come back and report after you’ve cleaned up."
Huo Shao Ting instructed lightly.
Without any hesitation, Huang Expert immediately led his people down.
"Can he... be trusted?"
After the people had left, Rong Dai couldn't help but worry.
This concerned her identity, so she really didn’t dare to be careless.
"Trustworthy."
Huo Shao Ting nodded, holding her hand very tightly, but Rong Dai's hands had been icy cold the entire day.
Rong Dai nodded, but her heart was like a tangled ball of yarn, a complete mess, with thousands of thoughts but not knowing where to even begin analyzing things from.
Huang Expert came back after half an hour, still carrying that box.
The couple got up and went into the house, with Huang Expert hurriedly following them in.
"Boss Huo, I want to thank you for the archaeology cause and the scientific field!"
"This is all simply unbelievable!"
As soon as he entered the house, Huang Expert couldn't hold back, speaking while opening the box.
Rong Dai was nervous, but didn't dare show any unease on her face. Sitting next to Huo Shao Ting, her gaze also fell upon the box Huang Expert had brought.
The box contained some ink jade fragments mixed with crushed rocks placed in containers. There were two broken waist plates of differing lengths, and a quarter piece of a feng seal.
These were all items Rong Dai had previously owned before, and she recognized them at a glance.
Her blood flowed in reverse throughout her body, surges of chill rushing up to the top of her head. She suddenly grabbed Huo Shao Ting’s hand tightly.
Huo Shao Ting had seen her ink jade pendant before, so he could naturally recognize these fragments at a glance as well.
"Boss Huo, this Shangyuan Empire definitely existed!"
"You see, this waist plate, based on the specifications of the tomb, the status of the tomb occupant was at least aristocracy or higher!"
"It's just a pity the tomb chamber was robbed, the condition of the tomb was too severely damaged."
Huang Expert didn't notice anything unusual about the couple, and kept on speaking to himself.
Then he poured those ink jade fragments from the bottle, took a small magnetic plate to neatly arrange them, looking at the couple with eyes full of excitement.
"Boss Huo, look, this is the wondrous part I was talking about!"
Huang Expert excitedly scattered the ink jade fragments onto the small magnetic plate. A few seconds later, these ink jade fragments started moving, suspended in the air above the magnetic plate, continuously vibrating and trembling.
Unable to conceal the excitement on his face, Huang Expert took off the ring on his hand and tossed it into the ink jade fragments.
Ding!
The ring disappeared among the ink jade fragments, falling onto the floor next to the table.
Rong Dai watched with bated breath. She didn't know the ink jade pendant actually had this kind of function!
Could the reason she was reborn be because of the ink jade pendant?
"What is the principle behind this?"
Although this scene was bizarre, Huo Shao Ting remained composed as always.
With Huo Corporation reaching the technological frontier, much of this encompassed the scientific realm, and there were many things ordinary people were unaware of that he had access to.
Therefore, none of the spectacle Huang Expert displayed shocked him, it only made his worries grow stronger instead.
