The Informal Tomb Raiding Diary: She is the occupant of the tomb!-Chapter 331 - 277: End of the Scandal

Chen Qinghan didn’t ask me to keep Bi Shi a secret, so I mentioned the leak of the Sinking Boat plan to her.

"Do you suspect that the Sakura Country rebel’s backer is Zhaosi?"

"If it’s not her, then it’s her subordinates."

"What if someone read the content before the data was destroyed, copied it down, and kept it, Zhaosi has enemies, and many eyes watching."

"That would widen the scope."

"The scope is large, but it can be filtered."

"I’ve already asked Professor Chen to talk to Nanduo’s lover about it."

"That mummy?"

"Yes."

"I’ll study it and see if I can find the exact location of that mummy, so Professor Chen doesn’t take a pointless trip and waste time."

"Yo-ho, have you two formed some kind of alliance?"

"Security alliance."

"Maintaining security isn’t your responsibility."

"Humph." Bi Shi snorted but didn’t say more, changing the subject.

We chatted for over an hour. She said that He Su, while occasionally lucid, would ask where I had gone.

Bi Shi lied to her, saying I had overused Karmic Fire and when I was unconscious, got captured by the Sea Demon. Poor Sea Demon, sitting at the sea bottom, caught in the sky’s storm.

Bi Shi promised to help He Su fish me out from the sea, and the two reached an agreement that Bi Shi would take over the management of all industries under He Su’s name. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

He Su’s replicant can’t be made again; many of her subordinates are missing, just in time for Bi Shi to pick new people. However, whether the newcomers are reliable needs time and events to test.

After exchanging information, Bi Shi went to shoot her videos and even recommended a few earthy short videos to me.

In the following days, I was so busy that my feet barely touched the ground, all procedures and documents for the breakfast shop were completed, Shunfeng found a ’master’ to pick a day for the grand opening. Although I don’t believe in the master he found, I accepted his goodwill and opened as per the suggested date.

With Bai Yun and Mei Lan Zhu Ju, the shop was always bright and clean, giving people the impression that the breakfasts sold here must be clean and hygienic.

Since it was a holiday, Baozi and the others came to support; Bi Shi, Galaxy, and the Sachima folks couldn’t come but sent flower baskets as congratulations.

This would have been impossible before. Regardless of sincerity, at least the gesture counts.

Everything went smoothly; Bai Yun and the others self-taught pancake-making skills were recognized by everyone, and after becoming part of the mobile app ’Have You Eaten?’ orders flooded in.

Xiangyang only helped deliver meals during peak times, she was no stranger to the nearby roads, and she learned quickly to ride electric scooters, but her status hasn’t been processed yet, so I’m cautious about having her do too much.

If someone asks, I say that the store needed help, so I called my cousin for assistance.

Once things settled down, it was the tenth day since Chen Qinghan left. He departed for Nilo Country on the second day after our night talk.

Before leaving, he returned my salary card kept with him. This seemed normal since it’s my salary card, returning to its owner is typical, yet I felt uneasy. During the day, I was fine while busy, but at night, when it was quiet, the premonition of something bad seemed more evident.

So I asked him to send me a message every night confirming he’s still alive.

There’s still some time before he completely becomes the bloodline successor. This journey, I prepared blood supplement pills for him.

Yet he didn’t follow my advice to check in daily with messages. Instead, he sent messages every few days containing only system emoticons.

The Sakura Country goddess accompanying him updated her personal space daily, although she can’t disclose mission details, she can copy poems and express feelings.

This shows they weren’t too busy to send a message, obviously indicating Chen Qinghan wants to distance himself from me. He didn’t even say a word of congratulations for the breakfast shop opening.

Rectifying this requires a process, returning salary cards, transferring pearl jewelry sales fees, gradually reducing contact, are the beginnings of ending lies.

I finally... don’t have to act as a ’Cupid’ shield anymore.

Of course, I wondered if this might just be an early onset of Chen Qinghan’s menopause, with emotional volatility, irritability, and moodiness.

But his social circle disproves my guess, he updates beautiful pictures and writings, frequently shares inspirational stories, and even posted photos with Shaqiu.

His profile in the sunset, obviously not taken by himself, hence Baozi and Ke’er were shocked, Chen Qinghan replied to them ’Solo Trip’.

This finally confirmed the speculations of some people, Chen Qinghan and I were done!

Alas... we were never together.
