As soon as they returned to the hotel, Lin Qian and Huo Jingyu hurriedly moved everything in the living room aside, clearing a large space.
"Come on, it's time for the treasure appraisal!" Huo Jingyu exclaimed excitedly as he sat cross-legged on the carpet.
"Do you know how to appraise treasures?"
"No, I don't!" Huo Jingyu shook his head in confusion. "But what if I need to recognize something?"
"Just keep your feet tucked in; don’t blame me if you hurt yourself!" Feng Xing also chose a spot to sit down.
When Lin Lang and Yan Kongyue had settled into their seats, several large wooden boxes suddenly appeared on the floor of the living room.
Yan Kongyue looked around and pouted, "None of these are to my liking. I'm going to sleep; you all can have fun!"
"There’s more; this is just a small part. If we take everything out, there won’t be enough space here."
"Take your time with the rest; I want to sleep now!"
"Alright, alright, we’ll go first. We’ll save your share for you!"
"It doesn’t matter; I don’t even like these antiques. They can’t be eaten or exchanged for money!"
"I have gold coins; do you want some?" Feng Xing said, and three shiny gold boxes appeared in front of Yan Kongyue, spilling coins all over the floor.
"This is nice!" Yan Kongyue picked one up and examined it closely. "How many are there?"
"A whole shipload!"
"Okay then, I’ll take these three boxes. The rest is up to you guys." With that, she went back to her room to sleep.
When she woke up again, it was to the sound of knocking at the door.
"Who is it?" Outside the bedroom, Huo Jingyu's lazy and impatient voice called out.
"We're from the Yubei Criminal Police Team. Our director would like to invite you all to the city bureau!"
"Come in; I'll call them right away." Seeing the nervous expression on the newcomer’s face, Huo Jingyu was almost fully awake now.
"What happened?" Yan Kongyue stepped out upon hearing the commotion.
"It's about Xu Ju's daughter. She had an incident. She was fine when she got off work yesterday, but when we tried to wake her up this morning, she didn’t respond after several calls. Madam Director went into her room and found Xu Ju's daughter lying still in bed, unresponsive no matter how much she called her. They took her to the hospital for a whole day but couldn’t find any cause. Later, Liao Ju mentioned that you saved a criminal police captain's girlfriend when you were in Yang City and contacted that captain to understand the situation. It seems their symptoms are quite similar, so we wanted to ask if you could take a look!"
"Alright, just wait a moment!"
At this time, Huo Jingyu had called everyone up. Half an hour later, they all set off for the hospital.
In the ward of Yubei First Hospital, a girl around ten years old was quietly sobbing.
"Hey, don’t cry. What good does crying do? Consultant Yan will be here soon!" Xu Zhou had arrived at the hospital first. He was anxious too, but all he could do now was wait.
"I can't help it!"
"Don't worry, Consultant Yan is amazing!"
"Xu Ju, Consultant Yan is here!" At the entrance of the ward, several people walked in one after another, including Yan Kongyue and Lin Lang.
"Consultant Yan, you’ve finally arrived!"
"Let me take a look at her condition first." Yan Kongyue wasn't one for pleasantries; she preferred to get straight to the point.
Xu Zhou had intended to explain the situation, but seeing Yan Kongyue bypass him and head directly to the bedside, he decided to remain silent.
The girl on the bed looked as if she were asleep, though her complexion was somewhat pale, especially with noticeable dark circles under her eyes.
As soon as she entered the room, Yan Kongyue scanned the area. There was no sign of the girl's spirit; only a layer of Gui Qi surrounded her body.
