Chapter 69


    “Why am I suddenly unable to speak?


    “Could it be that someone attacked my acupoint and turned me into a mute?”


    Lucas stood in the hall, unable to move. His mouth was wide open but he could not make a sound. His


    pupils dted in great shock.


    He was stunned.


    “Acupoint striking!


    “This martial art technique is real.


    “What describes in the novels is also real.


    “This is unbelievable!”


    The astonished, angry, and annoyed look in his eyes changed into surprise, curiosity, and yearning.


    If he learned the technique, he would be a top dog at school.


    He could even fight against those thugs outside the school.


    Moreover, that martial arts skill would allow him to brag for a long time.


    His curiosity was aroused at the thought of it.


    On the second floor, Yara was taking Han to her room.


    Reign had changed her clothes and was drying her hair with a hairdryer at the moment.


    Her long, ck hair was fluttering in the wind from the hairdryer.


    Her beautifully chiseled side face was impable and nothing needed to be changed.


    She was so fair and her glossy porcin skin was breathtaking.


    Han stared at her and waspletely mesmerized.


    When he had escorted Reign back from abroad, he did not realize that she was so beautiful.


    Reign was covered in mud when she was abducted. even though she had washed up when she


    boarded the ne and looked radiant and gorgeous, Han was too eager to go home to admire her


    beauty.


    Now that they had met again, he finally realized how beautiful Reign was.


    A fleeting nce at her fine figure would blow one’s mind away.


    Her divine beauty was entuated by her lustrous eyes and dazzling


    smile.


    Her graceful demeanor oozed natural charm and made people unable to take their eyes off her.


    “You’re so pretty,” Hanplimented from the bottom of his heart.


    “Thank you. Have a seat.”


    Reign was drying her hair while gesturing for Han to sit down. Then, she said to Yara, “Yvonne, it’s


    time for you to give me an exnation, okay?”


    “Yvonne?”


    Han looked at Yara in surprise.


    “Isn’t her name Yara?”


    Yara nced at Reign and exined to Han, “My real name is Yvonne Lynch. Yara is the name I


    use in thepany.


    “The reason I use a fake name and hide my true identity is because I’m afraid that others would say I


    got into thepany by practicing nepotism.”


    Yvonne wanted to prove that she didn’t use her family’s power and connections to achieve sess, so


    she always told others her name was Yara Irwin. And she had never made use of the resources of the


    Lynch family.


    “So, you’re the witch that Wane and the others are talking about?” Han blurted out.


    He regretted it the minute he said that.


    As expected, Yvonne’s face turned cold when she heard the word “witch“.


    “I’m sorry. I didn’t give you that nickname,” Han hurriedly exined.


    As he spoke, he sized up Yvonne in confusion.


    Yvonne was indeed domineering, arrogant, and a little cold. However, she was actually quite


    approachable and easy to talk to. Han didn’t understand why the security guards called her a witch.


    “I know.”


    Yvonne walked to the table with a sullen face and took out ten sheepskin scrolls from the drawer. She


    ced them in front of Han and Reign and said, “I called you guys over to study these ancient


    remedies.


    “I didn’t read up on them in thepany because I worry that it may do damage to thepany if


    they’re leaked.”


    “You still have so many ancient remedies?”


    Reign stood up. Her eyes sparkled with delight.


    Thepany’s stock had been soaring after she had announced theunch of the blood–tonifying pill


    and the scar removal ointment. Thus, her position as the CEO was firmly secured.


    Now that Yvonne had found ten more ancient remedies, if they did research on all of them sessfully,


    Mapleturz Group would definitely be the number one in the pharmaceutical industry. Making billions of


    dors wouldn’t be a dream.


    She looked at those sheepskin scrolls as though it was a book from


    heaven.


    The words on the scrolls were like scribbles, and she could understand none of them. “Do you know


    what it’s written on them?”


    “No. But I have my own n and I can’t reveal it to you.” Yvonne chuckled.


    “Then can you figure this out?” Reign asked.


    Yvonne shook her head, indicating that she could not.


    Reign’s eyes were filled with disappointment. Afterward, she seemed to have thought of something and


    turned to look at Han. “Yvie, ask Mr. Jaber toe over and see if he understands these remedies.”


    Reign knew that Han was a strong fighter, but she did not expect that he also possessed profound


    medical knowledge.


    “Good idea.”


    Yvonne nodded and looked at Han expectantly. “Mr. Jaber, can you decipher these remedies?”


    “I’m sorry. I’m afraid I can’t.”


    Han took a nce at the scrolls and shook his head.


    “Huh?” Yvonne was surprised.


    “I don’t understand these ancient texts. I can help you unless you’ve tranted the text,” Han said.


    He didn’t study history. So, he really knew nothing about historical texts.


    “In that case, we need a historian.” Yvonne looked disappointed.


    Initially, she wanted to decipher the texts herself and studied the medical forms with Han, hoping


    that she could be a secret ace of thepany.


    But Han did not understand the ancient words, she could only turn to a historian.


    Han touched the sheepskin scrolls and sniffed at them. Looking at Yvonne with a puzzled


    expression, he said, “These sheepskin scrolls are so old and they were written in ancient words.


    Besides, there’s some smell of dirt on them. Don’t tell me you hire someone to raid a tomb and steal


    these?”


    “The smell of dirt?”


    Yvonne sniffed the scrolls hard in surprise.


    “There is no smell at all!”


    After obtaining the sheepskin scrolls, she had cleaned them many times and all the marks that the


    sand of time left should have been removed. “How does Han find out that they are cultural relics?


    Reign also took a sniff, and there was a confused look on her face.


    “There’s indeed no smell,” she said.


    The two women looked at Han at the same time. “Howe you can smell it?”


    “My nose is different than yours.”


    Han touched his nose and said, “Besides, aren’t you focusing on the wrong thing? Ms. Lynch, I’ve


    asked you a question. Did you raid a tomb?”


    Reign directed her attention to the main issue and turned to look at Yvonne. There was a shocked and


    gloomy look on her face.


    “Precisely speaking, I didn’t raid a tomb but I explored a tomb.


    “Three months ago, several archaeologists discovered an ancient tomb and recruited a group of people


    to explore the tomb. I joined them and found these ancient remedies in the tomb,” Yvonne said.


    “It’s the tomb that caused many deaths three months ago and received widespread attention in the


    news?” Reign asked astonishedly.


    “That’s right. I was lucky enough to have escaped alive,” Yvonne said.


    Instead of hiding it from Reign and Han, Yvonne told them everything that had happened to her


    truthfully.


    The scrolls were originally found in a secret chamber by another person. But after taking them out, the


    tomb began to copse and buried that


    person.


    Yvonne spent a painstaking effort to take the remedies out and keep them with her.


    “Did the archaeologists know that you have these sheepskin scrolls?” Reign asked with a frown.


    “Exploring a tomb?


    “It is so dangerous. She could die or encounter some scary paranormal being.


    “I can’t believe Yvonne has the nerve to do that.


    “She is such a dare–devil,” Reign thought.

    “No. We agreed to keep the exploration to the tome confidential. We didn’t have to hand over the things


    we found. So, it’s not illegal for me to keep these remedies,” Yvonne exined.


    Han nced at the remedies and said, “I can’t decipher the texts. So, I can’t be of help.”


    “Wait. I’ll call a historian over to decipher it now.”


    Yvonne did not want to give up. She immediately took out her phone and called a history professor she


    knew, trying to ask him toe over and decode the text.


    Unfortunately, the call did not go through.


    Han’s face went grim. He looked at Yvonne and said in a low voice, “The things obtained from a


    tomb will bring you bad luck.


    “It is true that these sheepskin scrolls are valuable, but if you keep them at home for a long time,


    something bad is bound to happen.


    “Ms. Lynch, there’s a shadow between your brows and a dark cloud is hovering over your head.


    “I advise you to get rid of the scrolls quickly. Otherwise, it may get you killed.”


    “You know face reading?” Yvonne was curious.
