Tomb Raiding: My Family's Last Clan Chief is Little Brother

Chapter 461 United Front
The fat man patted Wu Xie on the shoulder, implying that he shouldn't worry too much.

Then he turned to Zhang Haixing and said in an annoyed tone, "It's just snow blindness, what's the big deal? You make it sound like some serious illness. It's nothing. When I went hunting in the countryside with my team, I not only experienced snow blindness but also night blindness. It always clears up on its own in two or three days. Just bring some antibacterial and anti-inflammatory medicine."

Looking at the two who were united in their hatred of the enemy and stood together against the common enemy, Zhang Haixing suddenly laughed out of the blue, her change of expression so fast it was astonishing.

She said to Zhang Haike, "Brother, this guy isn't as obedient as I thought."

Zhang Haike nodded, with an expression that said he had expected this.

Wu Xie's face darkened, and he almost couldn't help but take action. Damn it, it was another test. He simply couldn't believe how these guys could be scheming and plotting all day long, digging a small pit and ensnaring someone in no time.

However, Zhang Haike still considered Wu Xie's feelings and explained, "You can't predict what kind of dangers you will encounter in that no-man's-land. People may die at any time. Therefore, everyone involved in this mission should have the ability to stand alone as a leader."

"But even if only one person is left in the end, the mission must not be abandoned. This is the only chance."

"Also, you'd better not know anything about the Germans. They're a non-existent organization. Their purpose here is different from ours. We're each taking what we need. We've been studying each other for a long time, and we've each done a lot of dirty tricks. The waters behind them run very deep, but none of this has anything to do with you."

Zhang Haike paused slightly, "If you insist on knowing everything, you may not be able to bear the consequences, and you may have to wander with us for the rest of your lives."

Wu Xie asked Zhang Haike, "Does this constitute a threat?"

“Sometimes stating facts and making threats are very similar. If you insist on understanding it that way, I won’t say anything,” Zhang Haike said calmly. “You should know that I have been imitating you and studying you for a long time. I have seen all your changes.”

"But you must also understand that all your past suffering came about from your own digging and questioning, and these problems originally had nothing to do with you. Now you are trapped in a huge mystery that concerns you, unless you don't believe it."

“But we all know that’s impossible. If you were capable of giving up, your third uncle would never have let you get involved in the first place.”

Seeing that Wu Xie's expression remained cold, Zhang Haike smiled and said, "If you continue to pursue this, you will only drag yourself into another big trouble. I can tell you clearly that this information has nothing to do with proving yourself. At this time, the wisest thing for you to do is to treat the Germans and us as a group and stop trying to investigate their affairs."

"Then can I choose not to go?" Wu Xie looked at him and asked directly, "If this is not a threat, I should have the freedom to choose not to go."

Zhang Haike sighed, looked at Zhang Wuxun to the side, and said meaningfully, "The solution I proposed is the most harmonious and reliable method that we all agreed on after discussion. Not everyone is as willing as the Zhang family to spend a long time to solve a problem in a roundabout way."

Wu Xie looked at them coldly, "Indeed, with your abilities, you could easily kidnap me and take me there, but that would make it very difficult for you to make me do many things later."

Zhang Haike nodded honestly, "Yes, we need to cooperate. Unfriendly relations can cause disasters in many cases, so I will persuade you and use every means at my disposal to get you to agree. You can ask me any questions you want, and as long as they are within my ability to answer, I will tell you the truth." Wu Xie took a sip of the cooled tea, put it on the table, and said, "I remember you said before that you and the Zhang Qiling I know are childhood friends."

Zhang Haike nodded without saying a word, "Yes, I've known him since he was two years old. I can tell you everything about him, because it doesn't matter to us whether we keep these things to ourselves or not."

Wu Xie and Fatty exchanged a glance. Fatty was still skeptical. "You're not making this up, are you? Little Brother hardly ever says anything. You also said before that your overseas Zhang family doesn't have much contact with the main family. How could you know so much about him so easily?"

“He doesn’t talk about it because of his own issues. To us, his background is not a secret that cannot be told,” Zhang Haike said bluntly.

Wu Xie pondered for a long time before nodding in agreement, "Okay, if I can get the information I want from what you say, I will cooperate with you completely, do everything for you, and promise not to ask any more questions. But you must guarantee that everything you say is 100% about Xiao Ge. Once I find any flaws, then we'll have nothing to talk about."

"I believe you have the ability," Zhang Haike said with a faint smile. "For the sake of better cooperation between us, and for my own purposes, I would never deceive you."

After saying that, he gave Zhang Haixing a wink, and Zhang Haixing got up and left without saying anything more.

Half a minute after the person left, Wu Xie glanced at Zhang Wuxun as if it were an unintentional glance.

Zhang Wuxun turned his head to the side, pretending to listen to the sounds outside, but in reality, he opened his senses. Zhang Long timed it perfectly and sent someone to call Zhang Haixing away.

"Nobody's here." He turned around and mouthed to Wu Xie.

Zhang Wuxun had no idea how many secrets Zhang Haixing had learned since entering the Zhang family, but judging from Zhang Haike's current behavior, if he was wary of even the most basic information about the clan leader, then it meant that Zhang Haixing had been suspected from the very beginning.

Zhang Wuxun chuckled inwardly. A "Zhang family member" who didn't know the Zhang family patriarch's information and had to pretend to know it was quite interesting.

It seems he had some misunderstandings about Zhang Haike before. This guy is indeed a complete sister-complex, but the meaning of this "complex" is completely different when applied to the original Zhang Haixing and the current Zhang Haixing.

Zhang Haike may still have held onto the hope of finding his sister, but unfortunately, that's all in the past.

"And another thing," Wu Xie added, "I also want to know about Muyu's grandfather, Zhang Haisi. Since he grew up in Southeast Asia, you should have more detailed information about him."
