Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 590 Hu Ming's Headache!
"..."

Wu Xie's lips twitched as he glanced at the frighteningly brash woman who had suddenly regained her courage, and sighed inwardly that women were such a hassle.

However, he was too lazy to pay attention to Liang Wan and ignored her. He explored up and down along the lines of his seven fingers, and before long, Wu Xie had obtained what he wanted.

"Alright, Dr. Liang, let's stitch it up. This is a special medicine that I managed to get my hands on. Use it on your little brother."

Standing up, Wu Xie took out a bottle of unidentified white powder from his pocket and tossed it to Liang Wan.

"Sew...sew it up? That's it?"

Liang Wan was dumbfounded. Only a few minutes had passed! What was the point of all this?
"Go ahead and take good care of his nephew. Shall we go out and have a chat?"

Hu Ming patted Liang Wan on the back to signal, then looked at Wu Xie, who was deep in thought.

"Okay, Wang Meng, prepare a set of equipment for him, and we'll set off together tomorrow."

“Li Cu, do you remember what I told you? I need you to come with us into the desert.”

Wu Xie nodded. His situation was not optimistic. Although he had taken the initiative, he could easily lose everything if anything unexpected happened.

The price of losing this game is something Wu Xie cannot afford!
Just then, Hu Ming, a powerful ally, returned from the United States, and Wu Xie is now preoccupied with figuring out how to get Hu Ming's help!
Ignoring Li Cu's protest, Wu Xie gave Wang Meng instructions.

"Wait, when did I say I wanted to go to some damn desert with you guys? I'm not going! I have school tomorrow!"

Li Chu's bad temper flared up at this moment. Too lazy to think about how troublesome these people were, he straightened his neck and said in a harsh voice.

“My money isn’t so easy to take. Besides, recognize your current position, son. I’m not discussing this with you; I’m ordering you.”

"Of course, you can try to escape. Whether you succeed or not is another matter, but even if you do escape... what about your friends and family?"

"You don't expect us to be the kind of people who can reason with you, do you? Dr. Liang is right, a life or two is really not a big deal to us."

Before leaving, Wu Xie smiled at Li Chu in a friendly manner. He really liked the kid's temper.

“Hey, Li Chu, just give up. I’ve known Hu Ming for at least ten years and I know what kind of person he is. Once they’ve made up their minds, there’s no way you can go against them.”

"You have no choice but to obey them. Believe me, there will be no good outcome if you resist them."

After Hu Ming and Wu Xie left, there was a long silence. Liang Wan put on her coat and also made a move to leave. Looking at the distraught Li Chu, she couldn't help but comfort him.

After all, he's a handsome young man!

"What kind of people are they? Aren't they afraid of the law? They threaten me, my friends, and my family with their lives right off the bat?"

Li Cu murmured in anguish.

Putting aside his close friends, although his relationship with his father was not good, that was not a reason for him to bring trouble upon his father.

"This world is very complex! Beneath the surface of a peaceful society lies a cruel world that you can hardly imagine. For people in this world, human life is just a cheap bargaining chip on the table."

"If it were just Wu Xie, I might be able to get my man to help you, but Hu Ming... well, good luck!"

"I have some things to confirm. I'll leave the house to you tonight. Get some rest!" Liang Wan's eyes flickered. She needed to confirm some things with her boyfriend. She was very concerned about what Hu Ming and Wu Xie were doing.

Her woman's intuition told her that this matter was not over yet, and once Wu Xie's men dragged her into it, she would find it difficult to extricate herself.

Hu Ming and Wu Xie went to the rooftop and chatted idly while enjoying the night breeze and smoking cigarettes.

"You're incredibly bold. I never imagined you'd orchestrate such a massive scheme. Aren't you afraid of messing things up and getting yourself caught in the crossfire?"

"You know, the guy you have a crush on will be out by the end of this year, or at the latest, early next year. Aren't you afraid you'll never see him again?"

Having roughly grasped Wu Xie's plan, Hu Ming chuckled and asked teasingly.

"What unrequited love guy? Xiaohua and I are childhood sweethearts! Besides, I like women!"

Wu Xie's face darkened; he knew Uncle Ming wouldn't say anything nice. He sighed and said seriously:
"It's not that I insisted on doing this, but the Nine Gates are now rotten to the core, and with some external troubles, the Nine Gates are in an extremely difficult situation."

“Uncle Ming, you and the Hong family are detached from worldly affairs and got rid of this mess a long time ago, but Xiao Hua and I are not. The Nine Gates are a whole, and the two of us can’t escape.”

"We cannot allow the legacy left by our ancestors to be destroyed in our hands. Therefore, we must learn from this painful experience, and we must destroy the old ways before we can build a new one. We must eradicate the rotten roots and eliminate those covetous enemies."

"Uncle Ming, help me! My resources are still too limited!"

Finally, Wu Xie took a deep breath and looked at Hu Ming with a serious expression.

"Okay."

Hu Ming casually agreed to Wu Xie's request for help.

Deep within the ancient city of Tongjing, there were indeed things that Hu Ming found quite interesting, such as the wind whispers that contained a great secret!
When Zhang Qishan built Gutongjing, he didn't just intend to create a trap. The ruins in the core area and the strange wind sounds there were also his targets!
Unfortunately, Zhang Qishan never deciphered the secret contained within it until his death.

What Hu Ming was most satisfied with about this world was that it was full of secrets and strange occurrences that defied common sense. Only in this way could people avoid finding the world utterly boring.

"Tsk, as expected of you, you agreed to something so easily."

Wu Xie didn't care about Hu Ming's nonchalant attitude. He knew Hu Ming well and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

"Then what else do you want from me? To be burdened? Hesitant? Torn? That's not my style!"

"I'm leaving! I still have some troublesome things to deal with at home. You guys set off first tomorrow. After I've calmed down Nanfeng and Aning, I'll meet up with you before you enter the desert."

Hu Ming flicked his cigarette butt off the roof with extremely poor manners, rubbed his temples in annoyance, and turned to leave.

Compared to Wu Xie's highly valued plan, Yin Nanfeng and A Ning were more difficult for Hu Ming.
Women, especially jealous women! For the first time, Hu Ming felt a pang of regret that he hadn't transmigrated to an era with multiple wives and concubines.
What's wrong with a man who is faithful to one woman being unfaithful?
"Speaking of which, Uncle Ming, the news of your return can't be kept secret any longer. I imagine that in a few days, Xiuxiu and her aunt will come back to find you, right?"

Wu Xie was also a person with no manners. He flicked away his cigarette butt and couldn't help but burst into laughter as he watched Hu Ming's back.

"Damn it!!"

The night wind carried Hu Ming's muttered curses, a sound of considerable annoyance.

Women, especially those who are beautiful, outstanding, elegant, and individualistic, are indeed a group that is both loved and troubled.
