Chapter 308: Copper Plate
Jian Yunzhou shuddered with fear and then said timidly, "No... nothing of the sort."
Chen Fan spoke indifferently, "I can tell at a glance whether you are lying, so don’t bother playing those tricks in front of me. Tell me the true origin of this bead."
Jian Yunzhou immediately looked distressed.
Upon seeing his reaction, Chen Fan said, "I heard from your daughter that you’ve encountered some difficulties recently. If the information you provide is useful to me, I might be able to help you out."
Jian Yunzhou’s eyes lit up, "Master Chen, are you serious?"
Chen Fan nodded, "I am."
Taking a deep breath, Jian Yunzhou said, "Alright, since Master Chen has said so, I will report the truth."
"The truth is, I lied because I got this bead from a grave robber."
"That year, I went on a trip to the mountains. While looking for a place to relieve myself, I stumbled upon a man covered in blood, which gave me quite a fright. After I regained my composure, I noticed he was gravely injured and close to his last breath, so I went over to see if there was any way I could help."
"But as I didn’t know any first aid, all I could do was to give him a few sips of water I had on me. Realizing he was on the brink of death, the man revealed his identity to me. He said he was the eighty-third generation descendant of the Tomb Raider Captain and had entered an enlightened person’s tomb with thirty-two companions. The tomb was filled with traps, and in the end, only he made it out alive."
