Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 2 Wang Kaixuan

Hu Ming had just finished packing his things when he heard, "Passengers, the train is about to arrive at the next station, 'Capital' Station. Passengers who are getting off at 'Capital' Station, please prepare your luggage and disembark from either side."

"Dear passengers, the train is about to arrive at the next station, 'Capital' Station. Passengers who are getting off at 'Capital' Station, please prepare your luggage and disembark from either side."

"Dear passengers, the train is about to arrive at the station."

"Uh, we've arrived?"

The train announcements kept reminding passengers of the arrival time, and Hu Bayi threw his cigarette butt into the ashtray and walked back to the workshop.

"Let's go, let's go, we're about to get off the bus."

"Honestly, I wonder how Fatty is doing."

Although Lao Hu had called Fatty, Fatty still welcomed Lao Hu and Hu Ming very much.

However, Lao Hu felt that the fat man was not doing well.

Looking at Lao Hu, Hu Ming knew what Lao Hu was thinking.

"Don't worry, the three of us brothers are together, we're sure to do something big, trust me," Hu Ming said, putting his arm around Hu Bayi's shoulder.

Hu Bayi said, "Yeah, from childhood to adulthood, you've always been the most resourceful. You're much smarter than me and Fatty."

At this moment, seeing Hu Ming's confident declaration, Lao Hu felt much more at ease.

Perhaps, just as Mingzi said, the three of them are destined to achieve great things.
At the capital's train station, people come and go, exclaiming, "Excuse me, excuse me!"

The fat man twisted his body, weaving through the crowd, searching for Hu Ming and Lao Hu.

"That's strange, the train has arrived at the station, why haven't these two gotten off yet?" Wang Kaixuan said, pressing his face against the train window, looking at each passenger one by one.
At the other end, Hu Ming and Lao Hu got off the train and happened to see people peering through the train window in the distance.

"Mingzi, look, isn't that the fat guy over there?"

Following the direction Lao Hu pointed out, Hu Ming discovered that a fat man was peering through the train window, straining to see what was happening inside.

Every now and then, the fat man would be looking down and talking to himself.

Hu Ming said, "Old Hu, judging from this, this fatso seems to have lost a lot of weight."

Upon hearing this, Hu Bayi sighed and replied, "I reckon Fatty has suffered a lot over the years."

"Maybe so. Let's go take a look." With that, Hu Ming and Hu Bayi quickened their pace. Soon, the two of them arrived one after the other in front of Wang Kaixuan, the fat man.

Hu Ming greeted him, "Hello!"

"Who are you?" At this moment, Fatty Wang looked at Hu Ming and Hu Bayi, who were wearing sunglasses, but for a moment he did not recognize them.

At that moment, Old Hu suddenly shouted, "Heavenly King covers the Earth Tiger!"

"Heavenly King covers the Earth Tiger?" Suddenly, the fat man felt that the phrase sounded familiar, so he answered it without thinking.

"The pagoda suppresses the river demon!"

Upon hearing the fat man's reply, Hu Bayi continued, "Fatty, why is your face red?"

"He's so anxious because he can't find a wife."

"Then why have you gotten so pale again?"

"I just married a tigress, and she scared me half to death," the fat man replied.

Hu Ming hadn't expected that, despite not seeing each other for a long time, the fat man had still managed to use their secret code. "Hehe, not bad! Fatty, you're doing well."

The fat man was even more excited when he saw Hu Ming and Hu Bayi take off their glasses.

"Old Hu!"

"Xiao Mingzi"

Instantly, the group embraced, and then Hu Bayi said, "Haha, you fatso, you didn't expect this, did you? We're back again!"

"Yes, it's good to be back! It's good to be back!" At this moment, the fat man was so excited that he was almost crying, and that feeling was genuine.

"Let me tell you, Mingzi, and Lao Hu too, it's been over ten years, and we brothers have finally reunited!"

"Come on, get in my car, I'll treat you to a meal! Hot pot!" the fat man said generously.

"You have a car?" Hu Bayi exclaimed in surprise, then immediately said, "Hey fatso, you bought a car?"

"Yes, I just bought it, it's brand new."

"Hey!"

"Mingzi, let's go take a look!" Hu Bayi said, sounding impatient.

It seems that Fatty Wang is doing quite well.

Soon, led by the fat man, a three-wheeled vehicle appeared in front of the two of them.

Hu Ming thought to himself, "Just as I thought."

Hu Bayi exclaimed, "Fatty, is this the car you were talking about? I thought you'd made a fortune and bought a four-wheeled vehicle. Damn it, it's this thing! You made me all excited for nothing!"

Fatty Wang said aggrievedly, "Old Hu, it's not my fault. You didn't ask me what kind of car I wanted to buy." Then he turned to Hu Ming and said, "Mingzi, do you think what I said is right?"

Hu Ming put the luggage in the back of his car and said to Hu Bayi, "Old Hu, something is better than nothing. Hurry up and put the luggage in Fatty's car."

Hu Bayi said, "That's true," and then got into the fat man's car with Hu Ming.

Fatty Wang then said, "Hold on tight, let's go back first, and we'll have hot pot later."

At this moment, Hu Bayi, sitting behind the fat man, said, "Hey fatso, on the phone, you were saying you wanted to mess with whoever you wanted to mess with, what's wrong? Did you get bullied?"

"Now that Mingzi and I are here, you should explain things to us clearly so that we can get justice for you."

After hearing what Lao Hu said, Hu Ming knew what it was about.

As someone who possesses memories of his past life, Hu Ming knows that this matter must be related to Big Gold Tooth.

Hearing Lao Hu's words, the fat man sighed and said, "Sigh, don't even mention it. A few days ago, my car was impounded, and I needed money to redeem it. As a result, this guy with the gold teeth from Panjiayuan came and said he wanted to buy the piece of jade I was wearing, and offered me three hundred yuan."

This bastard told me this was the highest price he could get. He even spent several days haggling with me, eventually softening my heart. When I looked at it, I realized that if I didn't urgently need the money, I really wouldn't have wanted to sell it.

As a result, after I sold the jade to Big Gold Tooth, I found out that his grandson wanted to resell it for four thousand. Do you think I could swallow this insult?

I feel like that bastard with the big gold teeth clearly cheated me! He tricked me out of my jade.

The fat man grew angrier and angrier, trembling with rage! Hu Ming thought to himself: The jade on the fat man's body is the key to unlocking the Jingjue Royal City in the Western Regions; it's indispensable. And even if he knows the rule of "once you've bought it, you're done," Big Gold Tooth has taken my brother's things, so he has to return them, or I'll break three of his legs.

At this moment, Hu Ming spoke up, looking at Hu Bayi: "Old Hu, in the antique business, although the principle of 'once you buy, you don't sell' is emphasized, we can't just let the matter of Fatty being cheated go so easily."
