Peerless Immortal Emperor in City

Chapter 802: Utterly Absurd

Tomb robber?

The few people originally hiding in the dark immediately understood Miao Tong's intentions after hearing what he said.

So they all pretended as if nothing had happened, walked over from the corner, and then acted extremely shocked, pointing at Qin Heng and exclaiming.

"Tomb robber!? How is that possible? Qin Heng was introduced by Beijing University!"

"Damn it! I hate tomb robbers the most in my life, but Qin Heng being one? That's quite sensational!"

"Miao Tong, you said Qin Heng is a tomb robber, what evidence do you have?"

They didn't immediately go along with Miao Tong's words.

Because doing so wouldn't be logical; after all, Qin Heng's various demonstrations during his days with the archaeological team genuinely seemed like those of a well-educated young gentleman from a wealthy family.

So, at the start, there must be skepticism, that's the way it should be.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to deceive Fang Ping, who is both clever and discerning.

Miao Tong naturally understood this reasoning as well. He was well prepared for their words, and a slight smile appeared on his lips as he said, "I personally saw this kid put a bronze bell that was unearthed last week into his own room!"

At an archaeological site, any unearthed artifacts should belong to the state, to be used only for research and never to be claimed without permission. Doing so is illegal and unethical.

Equivalent to a tomb robber!

"What!? Impossible!"

"Could it be that Qin Heng is really a tomb robber, how could this be??"

"Not right, the real Qin Heng is the wealthy young master of the Daqin Group worth billions, how could he steal artifacts??"

"Perhaps this person is not Qin Heng??"

The few people arranged by Miao Tong all frowned and continued along his line, looking at Qin Heng with suspicion, their expressions highly guarded.

They seemed truly to be thinking he was a tomb robber.

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Fang Ping frowned, saying, "How could Qin Heng secretly hide freshly unearthed ancient artifacts? Miao Tong, you cannot speak of such things carelessly."

She was very passionate about archaeology and also deeply concerned about the safety of ancient artifacts. Upon hearing Miao Tong's accusations, her heart instantly tensed.

Because, there was only one bronze bell unearthed last week!

That bell was suspected to be a ritual tool from the last days of the Pre-Qin era's Zhou Dynasty, a small clock due to its petite size, only as big as a palm, hence also called a bronze bell.

Although its precise origin and status had not been fully confirmed, just by looking at its craftsmanship and integrity, it could be determined it was definitely priceless!

It held tremendous research value!

It might even turn out to be one of the greatest discoveries of this tomb excavation archaeology!!

"Impossible, I just took Qin Heng to see that bronze bell yesterday, and it's still well-preserved!" Fang Ping looked at Miao Tong and said, "Supervisor Miao, matters of such importance must not be spoken of lightly."

Clearly, she was inclined to believe Qin Heng.

"Fang Ping, you can't judge a book by its cover." Miao Tong shook his head and said to Fang Ping, "Actually, it's very easy to verify this. Just go to this tomb robber's room and have a look, and everything will be clear."

He then pointed at Qin Heng, saying, "I saw it with my own eyes, you still have time to admit your mistake now, otherwise, we will all go to your room and have a look! Dare you?"

"Yes, let's go check the room!"

"Right, if Miao Tong said so, there must be some truth to it, let's go have a look!"

"Exactly! Seeing is believing, if nothing is found, even if Miao Tong said it, we wouldn't believe it!"

"Let's go have a look, let's go have a look!!"

The people arranged by Miao Tong started echoing him again, although it seemed their positions were slightly different, some even appearing to side with Qin Heng, in reality, they all clamored to see Qin Heng's room!

In their view, since Miao Tong said so, then he must have made arrangements in advance. As soon as they entered Qin Heng's room, they could catch him red-handed, with irrefutable evidence of him being a tomb robber!

Even if Qin Heng came back later, they could just claim it was a misunderstanding due to their concern for the artifacts, apologize, and it would be over.

What else could happen?

Would Qin Heng kill them?

Impossible.

In this era, who would dare to kill people randomly, it's simply unthinkable.

That's what those people believed.

One of them, particularly bold, looked at Qin Heng, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Actually, I also saw Qin Heng go to the room storing the bronze artifacts yesterday and stayed for some time, I just didn't mention it earlier."

"No way!"

"Oh my god, could it be true?"

"Qin Heng, you should take us to your room and let us see."

"Yes, yes."

Those people began pressing aggressively, urging Qin Heng to proceed.

Miao Tong watched this scene unfold, his lips curling up as a faint smile appeared on his face. He said to Qin Heng, "Qin Heng, please, or have you become apprehensive?

Why not just admit here that you are a tomb robber, then return the stolen artifacts and leave, and I won't bother calling the police, sparing you the disgrace."

"Ants." Qin Heng suddenly spoke up, casting a light glance at Miao Tong and the people echoing him.

"???'

Miao Tong was stunned, looking at Qin Heng in bewilderment, a bit incredulous, "What did you say?"

"I said you are ants." Qin Heng gently shook his head, raised his right hand, spread his fingers with a calm gaze as still as a millpond, and said faintly, "Insignificant ants dare to scheme against me? Ridiculous."

Fang Ping was also taken aback, looking at Qin Heng with surprise.

She could clearly feel the change in the young man beside her who was gentle as jade, suddenly becoming lofty, like an Immortal God, making her body tremble uncontrollably.

"Qin Heng, that's unfair!"

"Even if you're wealthy, you shouldn't call us ants, and we never schemed against you!"

"It's broad daylight, Qin Heng, don't make false accusations!"

The people brought by Miao Tong still clamored without any concern, assuming nothing serious would happen to them.

"Damn tomb robber, do you really..." Miao Tong felt the disdain in Qin Heng's words, especially since it was in front of Fang Ping, he was immediately furious and wanted to scold Qin Heng.

But seeing what happened next, he immediately froze, his voice stopped abruptly, his eyes widened, his entire body froze, staring at Qin Heng with an expression of disbelief!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Golden flames burned and spiraled around Qin Heng's fingers, and with a slight flick of his fingers, the golden flames flew out, landing right on those conspirators!

In an instant!

They were turned into ashes, scattered by the wind, leaving the scene utterly silent!
