Beauty and the Bodyguard

"In fact, the couple didn’t sell anyone out at first, but we confiscated a work notebook and there were some clues in it," Chen Yutian passed a copy of the notebook to Liu Bojia as he smiled.

Liu Bojia glanced at the copy and his expressions changed drastically.

His name was clearly written in the notebook, and it was clear that he investigated the tombs with the tomb raiding organizations...

These alone was not enough to be conclusive proof, but the key was that Liu Bojia didn’t know that the couple was shot when resisting the police. Now, as soon as the police questioned Liu Bojia about the couple, there was no reason for him to keep silent!

At this moment, Liu Bojia prepared to confess everything. He couldn’t keep it a secret anymore so he decided to confess it all!

"It is correct. The assassin that appeared before should have been hired by Red Tower tomb raiding group. They must have wanted me dead..." Liu Bojia sighed.

"Red Tower tomb raiding group? Did you discover the tomb together with Red Tower group and the Thief Couple?" Chen Yutian asked.

"Not exactly together, but Red Tower, Thief Couple, and Old Black. These three organizations discovered it together..." Liu Bojia shook his head, "My existence is that of a specialist because I did some research on the tomb’s traps and secret passages, so Red Tower always brings me along with their operations. They will also share some things they dig up. it’s more like collaboration..."

"Why did he want to kill you this time?" Chen Yutian asked.

"I’ve conducted some researched on the tomb, and it’s extremely dangerous inside. I’m not certain that I can open the tomb but with my past experience, marvelous treasures hide beneath exceptionally dangerous tombs. I planned to come back and research more about it first, then investigate how to break the traps..." Liu Bojia said.

"What does that have to do assassins trying to kill you?" Chen Yutian frowned.

"People from Red Tower thought I wanted to take all of it, and in fact, that thought did flash through my mind..." Liu Bojia laughed bitterly, "We’ve collaborated for so many years. How could we not know each other well? He saw through my intentions, and he was afraid that I would expose it or take it all for myself. That’s why they wanted to kill me..."

"Organise everything you know about the location of the tomb and how to break through it," Chen Yutian said.

"You want to enter the tomb?" Liu Bojia froze, "That’s impossible. You have no specialist with you. I’m afraid that you won’t be able to leave the tomb in one piece..."

"That’s not for you to consider," Song Lingshan cut Liu Bojia’s words and said, "You just have to cooperate with the police. Your attitude decides your final sentence."

"Okay..." Liu Bojia nodded and remained silent.

Since he chose to cooperate, he naturally will do what they tell him to do. He knew that he will be sentenced to an indefinite period in jail if not death sentence from what he did before. Even if he was sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment, he was already forty years old and it was hard to say whether he could leave the jail alive or not.

Before he was imprisoned, there were things he wanted to address. Although he was a tomb raider, he was a grateful person.

"The person who saved me from the assassin last time, is he your man?" Liu Bojia asked.

"Why are you asking that?" Song Lingshan was bewildered.

"My assets are worth about thirty million. I will give him ten million to express my gratitude..." Liu Bojia said, "Thank you for saving my life."

"Your money is black and we will confiscate it," Song Lingshan replied indifferently.

"No, I earned them righteously. I earned them through writing articles for magazine companies and working as a guide and specialist for professional exploration teams. I have an account book in my study which recorded every single earning," Liu Bojia smiled, "All the antiques I got from the tombs are kept in the basement in my house and I have not sold a single object. You’ll know when you check there."

"Oh?" Song Lingshan was surprised but immediately nodded, "If that’s true, the police will consider your preference."

"And the doctor who saved me today, I’ll take another ten million out to thank him," Liu Bojia continued, "If I’m lucky enough to leave the jail still alive, the remaining ten million is more than enough for me to live my life. My wife and child are gone. I have no one to spend this money on. I better give it to those who helped me... If I’m sentenced to death, please donate the remaining ten million to the archaeology research organizations... It’s my last wish as an archaeologist.."

Song Lingshan didn’t expect Liu Bojia to be kind-hearted.

In fact, when she thought through it carefully, the crime he committed wasn’t completely devoid of conscience.

"The person who saved you last time and today was the same person," Song Lingshan didn’t want to lie to Liu Bojia, "Are you sure you want to give him twenty million?"

"The same person?" Liu Bojia was shocked at her words, "He’s a doctor?"

"Yes, but also no," Song Lingshan didn’t answer the question straightforwardly.

"I... Can I see him?" Liu Bojia pondered for a while and suddenly asked.

"You want to see him? About what?" Song Lingshan sound his request odd.

"He saved me and I want to give him some benefits," Liu Bojia replied, "Can you contact him for me?"

"What benefits?" Song Lingshan asked curiously.

"It has nothing to do with my case. I don’t have to tell you," Liu Bojia was alone and he was to be sent to the jail. He wasn’t afraid of anything.

"Alright, I will contact him for you. However, it’s not up to me whether he’s willing to see you or not," Song Lingshan nodded. If the benefits he talked about was given to someone else, perhaps she would ask further but didn’t since it was for Lin Yi. She hoped that Lin Yi will be rewarded since he lost a large amount of pure energy.

Liu Bojia nodded, "I’m tired and I want to rest. When I recover, I will prepare all the information about the tomb."

Song Lingshan and Chen Yutian didn’t linger too long and left the room.

"I didn’t expect Liu Bojia to be so obedient this time," Song Lingshan found Liu Bojia’s attitude towards them surprising. She thought she had to attempt to manipulate him psychologically in order to make him tell the truth.
