The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 2020

Claire laughed as she said, "Mom, the more you talk about it, the more incredulous your story sounds! You are even talking about digging tunnels now! Do you really think that you are Captain Mojin?” 5

When Elaine saw that Claire did not seem to believe in anything that she was saying at all, she could not help but blurt out anxiously, "Seriously, Claire! Why don’t you believe anything I say? Over the years, many tombs have opened up near my grandmother's house. A particularly famous tomb, the Halchester Tomb, was unearthed not too far away from my grandmother’s house. Have you heard of the Halchester Tomb before?"

Claire nodded before she said, "I heard that it seems to be a very important archaeological discovery in history. What is wrong with this tomb?"

"What is wrong with this tomb?!" Elaine hummed as she said, "Let me tell you, the reason why this tomb was eventually discovered by the cultural relics department, was because when the tomb robbers were trying to dig a tunnel, they alarmed the villagers nearby. It was only after that that the talents from the cultural relics department found out that there was a large tomb there after the villagers called the police. A t that time, Halchester's wife’s tomb was also in front o f his. However, it had already been robbed and emptied by tomb robbers a long time ago. I heard that

there were dozens of tunnels built from all directions leading into the tomb!" 5

Claire was dumbfounded when she heard this, and she asked, "Are these tomb robbers truly so powerful?" 3

Elaine felt a little anxious, and she hurriedly said," You can search online if you don’t believe me!" 1

Charlie, who was sitting aside, nodded in agreement a s he said, "Wife, you are indeed a little ignorant in regards to this matter. There are actually many powerful craftsmen amongst the folk. There are many of the tomb robbers that you read about in novels in real life. If you don't believe me, you can also ask Dad about it. Many unearthed cultural relics are being privately traded every year in the antique circle. To put it bluntly, all of these antiques were stolen by the tomb robbers." 4

After he was done speaking, Charlie said again, "About ten to twenty years ago, a cordyceps sinensis theft case occurred in the provincial capital city in the central region. More than two hundred kilograms of cordyceps sinensis which was worth millions of dollars was stolen from a shop overnight. Do you know how the other party managed to steal the cordyceps sinensis?"

Claire shook her head as she said, "How did they steal i t?" 4

Charlie replied, "They dug a tunnel there and stole it. They rented the shop that was directly opposite the shop that was selling the cordyceps sinensis. After that, they drilled their way tens of meters underground before they dug a tunnel all the way to the ground below the shop selling the cordyceps sinensis. Then, they drilled a hole up to the ground and stole all of the cordyceps there." 5
