Chapter 204 Cabbage Pushes Pig
"Then it's settled, Professor Sihan."

The middle-aged man walking in front turned around and looked at Si Han, and stretched out his hand to him: "I will go back and make preparations now, and we will see each other then."

"Since you have made up your mind, I won't persuade you any more. See you then."

Si Han had a helpless look on his face, but he still reached out and shook hands with the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man nodded goodbye to Si Han, glanced at Shen Cheng, and turned and left.

After he walked out of the office, Si Han looked at Shen Cheng and said softly, "You are here, come in and chat, Zhiqing, make a pot of tea."

"Ok."

Shen Cheng followed Si Han into the reception room.

After sitting down, he immediately asked impatiently: "Professor, what is the deal you want to make with me?"

Si Han did not answer the question directly, but asked: "Before discussing the deal, I want to ask, what are you going to do with the dragon blood?"

Shen Cheng frowned slightly: "Do I have to answer?"

"Yes."

Si Han nodded slowly, his expression quite serious: "I'm sorry, this may be a little offensive to you, but dragon blood is too important, I must know its use clearly."

Shen Cheng hesitated slightly.

But on second thought, there was nothing shameful about what I was about to do.

The only thing that can be considered secret is his identity as a vampire, but this is actually the least important thing.

"Professor, you are a demon. You must have heard of the demon scholar Black Agate, right?"

"Of course, I have met him several times."

"Then do you know that Black Onyx has a research result that can merge vampires and demons into one, thus breaking the source blood curse?"

When Shen Cheng told Si Han the whole story and his need for dragon blood, Si Han did not show any surprise. He just sighed at the ending of Black Agate, with slightly red eyes.

"Black Agate is a great scholar worthy of admiration. Dragon Realm owes him too much. He devoted himself to saving the world, but ended up like this. It's really sad..."

Shen Cheng was a little worried that Si Han would cry on the spot, and wondered whether he should tell him a joke to ease the sad atmosphere.

Fortunately, at this time Han Zhiqing came in with a teapot and poured a cup of tea for each of them.

However, after pouring the tea, she did not leave, but sat down beside her.

"Grandpa, are you going to cry again?"

"No, Grandpa was just blinded by the sand."

With his granddaughter present, Si Han managed to maintain the dignity of an elder and did not cry on the spot.

After he drank some tea to recover his mood, he said to Shen Cheng: "Mr. Shen, I have no objection to your use of dragon blood. If I can help you, it will be a good thing."

"Thank you for your understanding, Professor."

Shen Cheng felt relieved. If Si Han firmly disagreed, he didn't know whether he should use some special means.

"As for the content of the deal."

Si Han didn't keep the secret and confessed directly: "I am going to participate in an archaeological activity next week. I hope you can accompany me, Mr. Shen, and protect our safety."

"It's that simple?"

Shen Cheng almost thought he had heard it wrong. Seeing that Si Han attached so much importance to dragon blood, he had already prepared himself mentally that Si Han would propose an extremely harsh deal.

So all he needs is a part-time job as a bodyguard?

“It’s not easy.”

Si Han shook his head, his tone without any sense of relief: "The place I'm going to is very dangerous. If I'm not careful, people will die. Even with your help, Mr. Shen, I'm not completely sure that I can be safe."

Seeing him say this, Shen Cheng put away his contempt.

"Professor, where exactly are you going?"

"Have you heard of Earth civilization?"

Shen Cheng had indeed heard of it. After all, he had absorbed the memories of many people and could be considered knowledgeable.

Legend has it that there is an Earth civilization hidden deep underground in this world. The people of Earth have built huge cities and kingdoms underground, and once developed an extremely brilliant civilization.

But before this civilization even set foot on the ground, it was torn apart by a horrific crustal movement, and finally completely destroyed by the invasion of underground insect swarms.

However, whether from the perspective of historians or ordinary people, Earth civilization and underground insect swarms should be classified as science fiction legends, and no one takes them seriously.

So when Shen Cheng heard Si Han talking about Earth civilization, he was surprised: "Are you saying that Earth civilization really exists?"

"No, that's something that has not been confirmed yet."

Si Han said slowly: "However, we did find man-made structures hidden deep underground."

Han Zhiqing, who had been listening, suddenly interrupted: "There are also Earthlings and bugs."

Si Han corrected: "To be precise, it's a corpse."

"Even if it's a corpse, it counts, right? Why didn't Grandpa make this discovery public?"

"Until definitive evidence is found, publishing unconfirmed news will only cause trouble."

During the communication between the grandfather and grandson, Shen Cheng also figured out the situation.

Because a large amount of federal land has been privatized, the government has no right to interfere with private land, and thus a private archaeological industry has developed.

About two years ago, an archaeological company discovered an underground site on a farm.

As a scholar with a high reputation in the archaeological community, Si Han was also invited to participate in the archaeological excavation.

During the excavation process, this underground relic was found to be highly similar to the legendary Earth civilization, which attracted a lot of attention.

However, before it became popular, the excavation work was forced to be terminated due to certain location reasons, and the news of the ruins was covered up.

It was not until recently that the excavation work was restarted. The middle-aged man who met Si Han just now was the representative sent by the archaeological company, who came to invite Si Han to continue to participate in the excavation work.

Si Han also confessed to Shen Cheng that the previous excavation work was interrupted because of unknown dangers encountered during the process, which resulted in the deaths of many people.

Restarting the project this time might require going deep into the ruins. Si Han was worried about encountering danger, so he asked Shen Cheng to protect his safety.

Of course Shen Cheng would not refuse such a request and agreed immediately.

The two parties quickly agreed on the terms of the transaction - Shen Cheng would protect Si Han's safety throughout the archaeological excavation, and after the work was completed, Si Han would directly give some dragon blood to Shen Cheng.

……

After Shen Cheng left, Si Han looked at Han Zhiqing who was absent-minded, with worry in his eyes.

During the conversation just now, Han Zhiqing had been stealing glances at Shen Cheng frequently.

Although she thought she had concealed it well, both Shen Cheng and Si Han had already discovered it long ago.

In this situation, the only possibility Si Han could think of was love at first sight.

Otherwise it would be impossible to explain why his granddaughter, who was usually very reserved and indifferent to men, would be so bold as to peek at a strange man she met for the first time.

After hesitating for a while, Si Han finally couldn't help but ask, "Zhiqing, what do you think of Mr. Shen?"

"what?"

Han Zhiqing, who was distracted, came back to her senses and answered subconsciously: "Well...it's a very special person."

Si Han thought it was over.

If a woman feels that a man is very special, she will definitely fall in love with him. He regrets it now, very much. If he had known earlier, he would not have allowed Shen Cheng to meet him, and he actually let a wolf into the house.

Si Han did not have any prejudice against Shen Cheng. On the contrary, he was very grateful to Shen Cheng for sending him the precious star map research materials.

But Shen Cheng is a vampire, and he has so many women around him. The last time they met in the teahouse, he actually brought a table of women with him, and each of them was as beautiful as his own granddaughter.

Isn't this a complete scumbag?

Under such circumstances, how could Si Han feel at ease letting Han Zhiqing contact Shen Cheng?

He was considering his words in his mind, preparing to remind Han Zhiqing not to be curious about this man.

But before he could speak, Han Zhiqing suddenly stood up and said, "Grandpa, please go ahead. I have something to go out for."

After saying that, she ran out in a hurry without waiting for Si Han's consent.

It is obvious that he is going out to chase Shen Cheng.

Si Han suddenly felt his eyes go dark.

Before the wild boar even started digging, the cabbage actually pulled up its roots and chased after it.

This is not the case of the pig trying to push the cabbage, it's clearly the cabbage trying to push the pig.

On campus, Shen Cheng was walking towards the parking lot, thinking about the conversation he had just had with Si Han.

He originally thought that Si Han only had a special channel to get dragon blood, but he didn't expect that Si Han himself had a collection of dragon blood.

Shen Cheng immediately suggested that Si Han provide him with some dragon blood, but was unfortunately rejected.

He was not worried that Si Han would go back on his word. On the one hand, he believed that Pei Mu's best friend would not be that kind of person. On the other hand, he himself was not someone who could be easily messed with.

Anyone who dares to be a deadbeat for him will be sent to the next life.

There was still a week before the excavation work began. Shen Cheng didn't want to disturb Xingchen anymore, so he decided to go home and take a look.

Just then, he heard a clear voice coming from behind him.

"Wait a moment, Mr. Shen."

Shen Cheng turned around and looked back, and saw Han Zhiqing chasing after him, panting.

He asked curiously, "Professor Si Han, do you have anything else to say to me?"

"No, I came to find you myself."

Han Zhiqing waved her hands, took a few breaths, and asked rather embarrassedly: "Mr. Shen, have we met somewhere before?"

Shen Cheng shook his head and said with some amusement: "I remember you asked this question once before."

Han Zhiqing said seriously: "I did ask you twice, but you didn't answer me."

Shen Cheng smiled and said, "This kind of chatting is no longer popular nowadays. If you want my contact information, you can just tell me directly."

"It's not a flirtation."

Han Zhiqing blushed immediately and quickly explained: "I really feel that we have met before. It was in Tailing City. I was on the street that night..."

"Feel sorry."

After Han Zhiqing finished speaking, Shen Cheng answered seriously: "I have never been to Tailing City, and I have never met you before. Are you satisfied with this answer?"

"That's it..."

Han Zhiqing looked disappointed.

Shen Cheng was once again surprised at the girl's intuition. They had not seen each other for such a long time, but she still had some impression of him.

"If it's alright, I'll leave first."

"The inner one..."

Han Zhiqing scratched her cheek awkwardly and asked in a low voice: "Can you give me your contact information?"

Shen Cheng didn't think that the girl was attracted to him, but rather that she was persistent in wanting to find out his identity.

I wanted to refuse, but when I thought about the fact that Si Han also had my contact information, there was no point in refusing.

"alright."

Shen Cheng gave his cell phone number to Han Zhiqing, and the girl happily accepted it.

"Goodbye, Mr. Shen!"

Han Zhiqing waved goodbye to Shen Cheng and watched his back as he walked towards the parking lot. The innocent and shy expression on her face suddenly disappeared, revealing a sly smile.

The sun shone on her, casting a clown's shadow behind her.

On the other side, Shen Cheng came to the parking lot, looked at his black sports car, and suddenly remembered something.

He has never lost his car since leaving Tailing City.

Could it be that the car thief is staying in Tailing City?

That’s such a pity, Shen Cheng was still looking for an opportunity to catch the other party.

……

At this moment, Shen Cheng's home was filled with an atmosphere of embarrassment.

Ruan Qingsha and Bai Qiuning were sitting on the sofa, and opposite them sat an elegant lady.

Behind this noble lady, there was a beautiful and cool attendant.

The two sides sat on opposite sides clearly separated, and there seemed to be an invisible fire flickering between them.

Xiao Qingque and Yan Qiuli, who were hiding aside, were trembling.

It’s just that Yan Qiuli’s shivering was real, while Xiao Qingque’s shivering was fake.

Because the current situation was her own masterpiece.

After a month of investigation, Xiao Qingque finally figured out that the Madam Yan Rui that Shen Cheng met outside was the sexy and charming lady in front of him.

She also learned about the recent events at the Scarlet Dinner from a vampire who was beaten half to death by her.

The Madam Yan Rui in front of us has found a very powerful vampire as her backer. She has been invincible at the red dinner and has a status second only to the first person.

However, the mysterious vampire is elusive and rarely shows up in public.

Without guessing, Xiao Qingque was sure that this vampire must be Shen Cheng. He didn't expect that this guy would do such a big thing without telling him and become the minister of the Bright Red Dinner.

When good news happened, he didn't even inform his brothers and sisters at home, but instead benefited outsiders.

After understanding the whole story, Xiao Qingque also began her efforts to add fuel to the fire.

She first got Madam Yan Rui's contact information, and then secretly sent her Shen Cheng's address.

Based on her understanding from reading novels for many years, a concubine like Madam Yan Rui who was kept outside must have the desire to become the principal wife and would not miss any opportunity.

As expected, after getting Shen Cheng's address, Madam Yan Rui immediately brought people to kill him.

After Madam Yan Rui arrived, Xiao Qingque immediately borrowed Yan Qiuli's cell phone to inform Ruan Qingsha and Bai Qiuning of Madam Yan Rui's visit.

Not long after the message was sent, the two of them immediately came back.

Thus, the scene of these three people gathered together appeared.
