It's obvious—this is still because of what happened yesterday. Carter probably feels like he exposed Yan Fei's photographic memory secret, and staying here any longer could be risky. Yang Xing feels the same; he wants to head back as soon as possible.
So, even though the Torres couple still insisted on returning it next year, Yang Xing was ready to agree immediately. Even if he wasn't aware of Yan Fei's discoveries, just the materials Yan Fei had reviewed these days would be enough reason for him to want to return early.
Yan Fei, fully aware of the situation, couldn't help but speak up: "Professor Torres, I understand that when you purchased this fossil, you paid a certain price. As a private gesture, I'm willing to compensate you. If you agree to let us take the fossil directly, I can make up for all your losses."
As he said this, he pulled out a stack of dollars and placed it before them: "This is all I have on me right now—consider it a deposit. What do you think?"
