Chapter 496 Hiding from the sky and crossing the sea
Zheng Zheng said this indifferently, but in Zheng Bei's ears, it meant something else.
Zheng Bei looked at Zheng Zheng with a strange expression, Zheng Zheng smiled, shrugged his shoulders and didn't speak, and drank water quietly. Zheng Bei's mind was spinning around like electricity, and he came up with a number of ideas in an instant.
Drinking water, Zheng Zheng glanced into the distance, where the conversation between Anna and His Highness Kars seemed to be over, and Anna was walking towards Zheng Zheng. Zheng Zheng put down the water glass, straightened his clothes, and then glanced at Zheng Bei beside him, and said, "This is the last chance...... Hurry up and make a decision. Let's say it first, if you help me this time, I won't accept your affection. ”
Zheng Bei looked at Zheng Zheng, snorted coldly, and didn't speak.
Zheng Zheng stood up and said in a voice that only two people could hear, "You can figure it out for yourself...... If you figure it out, you'll say that there's something wrong with the secret medicine, and there's no way to restore the Sphinx today. If you still can't figure it out, it's up to you. ”
After speaking, Zheng Zheng didn't say anything more, with a smile on his face, he greeted Anna who was walking towards him.
"Mr. Zheng, it's up to you next. Anna whispered to Zheng Zheng.
Zheng Zheng nodded and said, "No problem." ”
Anna nodded, turned to the chatting crowd, cleared her throat, and said aloud, "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much for being here today. ”
Everyone was chatting and talking, but Anna was talking, and they knew that tonight's topic was finally here. Although many of the guests were at odds with Anna, they had a rule and didn't keep quiet.
Seeing that everyone was quiet and looking at her, Anna nodded and smiled slightly, and said, "I am deeply honored to be here today. While I am honored, I am also a little uneasy, and I am afraid that I will disappoint all the guests who have come to visit. Reconstructing the prototype sculpture of the Sphinx was a difficult task, and I really didn't have a lot of confidence that I would be able to restore it. But luckily, I had the help of Mr. Zheng, who was standing next to me. ”
As he spoke, Anna gestured to Zheng Zheng beside him and introduced to everyone: "Mr. Zheng Zheng Zheng is an archaeologist from China, and he has a professionalism in the restoration and identification of artworks. It is also with Mr. Zheng's help that I have the courage to ask Mr. Willis to invite you to show you the initial progress. Here, too, I would like to thank our old friend, Mr. Willis, for his service. ”
Facing everyone's curious eyes, Zheng Zheng maintained a decent smile on his face, but secretly praised Anna's introduction in his heart: "Yes...... That's quite methodical. Initial progress...... It's just a way out. Even if there is a problem during the restoration, there is this 'initial progress' to carry here, and there will not be much of a problem. And in and out of these words, he silently belittled Willis, 'service'...... Hey, this time it immediately shows the level between the two. ”
"While thanking Willis, I would also like to thank Willis's assistant, Mr. Jolvin. Speaking of which, I have to sigh that the fate between people is really wonderful. This Mr. Jolvin Zheng and this archaeologist Mr. Zheng Zheng turned out to be members of the same family. They didn't know each other was in Rome, but they met Willis when I met him, which really helped a lot. If it weren't for Mr. Jorwin's help in preparing the potion necessary for the restoration of the Sphinx, Mr. Zheng would have spent a lot of time doing this. It's impossible to make progress where you are now. ”
With that, Anna asked Zheng Bei, who was standing beside Willis, "Mr. Joelvin, is the potion ready?"
Staring at everyone's attention, looking at the little smile on Zheng Zheng's face, Zheng Bei gritted his teeth and said, "It's ready, Mr. Anna." ”
When Zheng Zheng and Anna met, they told Anna the general situation, and he also knew what to say. I have to say that after Anna understood what Zheng Zheng meant, she said this quite well. He just said that Zheng Bei was helping to help, and he didn't attribute all the things that were configured to the secret medicine, lest he steal Zheng Zheng's limelight.
But in this way, it is equivalent to tying up Zheng Bei and Willis, if Zheng Bei did something in the secret medicine, which caused problems in the final recovery, then Zheng Bei would definitely not be able to escape responsibility. It was not that the people present did not know the relationship between Anna and Willis, and if there was a problem with the secret medicine, everyone could easily associate the matter with Willis.
Therefore, as soon as Anna's words came out, Willis and Zheng Bei would never dare to do anything with the secret medicine, unless they wanted to carry the black cauldron of "unable to restore the Sphinx" for Zheng Zheng.
Therefore, although Anna's words of thanks are beautiful, both parties know in their hearts how many murderous intentions and how many traps there are in this "thanks".
Anna didn't say anything more, stretched out his hand to the outside of the hall, and smiled: "Okay, that's all for old Anna's nonsense." Next, please come with me, because of the size of the prototype sculpture of the Sphinx, we need to change places. ”
With that, Anna led the group and walked out of the hall. Zheng Zheng was a few steps behind and lit a cigarette.
was smoking a cigarette, Zheng Bei, who had been staring at Zheng Zheng on the side, walked over. He looked at Zheng Zheng and sneered twice, and said, "Cigarettes can greatly relieve a person's tension...... I'm nervous, isn't I? Because I'm not doing what you want me to do?"
Zheng Zheng spit out a puff of cigarette, squinted at Zheng Bei beside him, shook his head slightly, and said in a somewhat regretful tone: "You are really ...... Tsk, what do you say?...... You're so upright. ”
"It's boring, Zheng Zheng, it's all come to this, still pretending?" Zheng Beipi looked at Zheng Zheng with a smile.
Zheng Zheng spread his hands and said, "Let's wait and see...... What's the hurry, won't there be results when we wait?
Zheng Bei's face froze, and he didn't speak again for a while.
It's come to this point, Zheng Zheng really doesn't need to continue pretending. He's still like this...... Could it be that Zheng Zheng really did it?
Zheng Bei, who thought of this, suddenly felt a little chilly behind him.
Zheng Zheng didn't talk to him anymore, walked forward quickly, and caught up with everyone's pace. As for the cigarette in his finger, Zheng Zheng didn't take another puff.
In the hall of another building, an open space of about 100 square meters has been vacated, and those earthy yellow stones are placed in the open space. Around the stone were five iron buckets, which were filled with a colorless and odorless liquid that looked like water.
This is the secret medicine to be used tonight, all of which were brought by Zheng Bei. Zheng Zheng still has no doubts about whether these secret medicines are easy to use. Zheng Bei may have a brain pump, but Willis will never let him make such a low-level mistake. This was true before Anna said that, and even more so after Anna said that. And at Willis's level, Zheng Zheng believes in him that he will not make this kind of mistake for the first few times when making plans.
Not far from the stone, according to Zheng Zheng's request, there was a set of tables and chairs, and on the table was a pot of tea. After all, this is not a small job, and Zheng Zheng can't stand here for two hours, right? Anna understood this, so Zheng Zheng's request was carried out without any discount.
In addition to these, there are also a lot of supports around the stones, and a team of people are on standby, waiting for Zheng Zheng's instructions.
Rows of tables and chairs are placed around this area for these people to sit and slowly admire the restoration of the original sculpture of the Sphinx. It's also a shame that this hall is big enough and tidy enough, otherwise it really can't accommodate these people and these furnishings.
When they were seated, Anna gestured to the stones in front of him and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, as you can see, these stones are fragments of the original statue of the Sphinx. Mr. Zheng Zheng will put these stones together to restore the prototype sculpture of the Sphinx.
After saying that, Anna nodded to Zheng Zheng and signaled that he could start.
Facing all kinds of people's eyes, Zheng Zheng took his cigarette that was about to burn out and walked into the open space in the middle of everyone.
After bowing slightly to everyone, Zheng Zheng subconsciously raised his hand, but saw the cigarette butt between his fingers at a glance. He shook his head a little embarrassed, then took out a somewhat oddly shaped scale from his bosom and placed it on the table nearby.
"Pretending...... I thought you had some tricks. ”
When Zheng Zheng first took the thing out of his arms, Zheng Bei was still nervous, he was really afraid that Zheng Zheng would come up with some high-tech thing to deal with this matter. However, seeing that what Zheng Zheng took out was just a bronze balance, Zheng Bei immediately became uninterested.
This bronze balance Zheng Bei is also not blind, and he has also seen this bronze balance in Zheng Zheng's hands before.
At first, Zheng Bei also thought that this bronze balance was of any special use, but after thinking about it carefully, he regarded this as a boring idea: this bronze balance only has a little stuff in the weighing rod of the scale and the main body. But even if the bronze balance is hollow, what can be put in it? a scanner? Don't be funny, how can it be...... Moreover, under his observation, Zheng Zheng only used this scale as an ashtray, and there was nothing else to use it.
At first, everyone didn't know what Zheng Zheng was doing with this scale, and thought it was Zheng Zheng's secret weapon. However, Zheng Zheng's next action made everyone lose any interest in this scale: he extinguished the cigarette butt on one of the scales.
It's just a portable ashtray with some interesting shapes, and there's nothing to look at......
I have to say that Zheng Bei and these people didn't think wrong, and they all thought wrong: the bronze balance does look like an ashtray, but this is indeed the key to Zheng Zheng's handling of this matter.
