At this point, Huo Sining was ready to abandon the mine entirely. She lifted her head and said to Windsor Reed:
"Mr. Windsor, could you take me to other parts of the mountain later? I'll help you investigate if another mine can be dug elsewhere. I'm afraid this mine is unlikely to yield any diamond rough—huh?"
Before finishing her sentence, Huo Sining's eyebrows shot up, her eyes widened, and she let out an exclamation, a look of deep astonishment on her face.
Seeing Huo Sining's expression, both Windsor Reed and Matthew felt baffled. They exchanged glances and cautiously asked:
"Miss Lina, is there something wrong?"
Huo Sining didn't speak. She merely pressed her hands tightly against a section of the stone wall near the weathered belt, staring intently at a specific spot.
Seeing Huo Sining like this, Captain Matthew felt even more puzzled. He followed her gaze but couldn't see anything unusual about the stone wall.
