Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 591 is a loving team!

Over the next two days, Hu Ming spent a great deal of effort to finally appease Yin Nanfeng and A Ning separately.

As for why we didn't try to appease them together...

Excellent and individualistic women wouldn't be like them if they were so easily compromised.

Philanthropy requires considerable resources!
It's not just about things like financial resources, which are relatively insignificant; it also requires a combination of personal strengths, charisma, and charisma!
That morning, Hu Ming drove alone to the northwest suburbs of Beijing and waited quietly.

"Second Master, the equipment you need has been prepared and transported to Inner Mongolia through our channels in advance."

"Also, here is your identification document, your Archaeology Professor's Certificate from Wudaokou Vocational and Technical College."

A short while later, Hongxia arrived by car and handed some documents to Hu Ming.

In China, Wudaokou Vocational and Technical College is a household name, and the professor's degree in archaeology is definitely not fake!
During the seven years he spent in Beijing, Hu Ming didn't do nothing. With his extensive knowledge and skills in tomb raiding, he managed to obtain this certificate.

With the help of his former superiors and the tacit approval of some high-ranking officials, Hu Ming's identity is not an issue at all. Whether in the past or present, it has all been done through legal procedures. Hu Ming is one of the top archaeology professors in this country!
With this certificate, Hu Ming could move freely throughout most parts of the country, and even seek help from local authorities in special circumstances!
Therefore, Hu Ming has always said that tomb raiding has no future in modern society!
Wouldn't it be better if he just pretended to be an archaeology professor?
"You've worked hard, Hongxia. Keep a close eye on things at home. Keep a close eye on the Li family, the Qi family, the Chen family, and even the Huo family."

"Similarly, within our Hong family, during the time I was away, anyone who exhibited unusual behavior... was to be killed on the spot!"

"And this location, have someone come pick me up here in about two weeks."

Hu Ming nodded, pulled over the map of the A1a Shanmeng region that Hong Xia had specially prepared, pointed to an abandoned national highway deep in the desert, and roughly drew a radius of five kilometers.

"Don't worry, Second Master, I'll have someone prepare for a safe journey right away!"

Hu Ming, who was traveling alone, soon caught up with Wu Xie and the others by plane to Inner Mongolia.

It's worth mentioning that in this line of work, Wu Xie uses the alias "Guan Gen" and works as a photographer, while Li Cu and Wang Meng are the photographer's assistants.

To avoid suspicion, Wu Xie even partnered with an expedition team early on.

When Hu Ming got off the plane, he drove to the agreed place, and soon the others arrived to meet him.

"Hu Ming, the archaeology professor at Wudaokou Vocational and Technical College, needs to go to Gutongjing for archaeological work for some reasons. Guan Gen has already told you about me, right?"

In the shabby warehouse, Hu Ming ignored the lame Boss Ma sitting in a chair sipping red wine, ignored the fully armed mercenaries, and stared straight at the woman in a black leather coat.

"Professor of Archaeology at Wudaokou Vocational and Technical College. If someone as important as you wanted to do archaeology, the local authorities would give you their full support. Why bother with a small private team like ours?"

Mr. Ma swirled the wine in his glass, his expression shifting between light and shadow as he asked.

"Because going to Gutongjing for archaeological excavation is not allowed, this is an unspoken rule. Mr. Ma may not be aware of this, but Ms. Su should be very clear about it, right?"

Hu Ming shrugged noncommittally, then changed the subject, turning his attention to the woman in the black leather jacket, Su Nan.

this woman
Back in the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West, Hu Ming set up a trap to wipe out Wang Zanghai's remnant soul and the Wang family's elite forces, while also destroying the Wang family's base.

However, in the decades or even centuries after the Zhang family's decline, the Wang family planted a considerable number of spies within the Nine Gates!
The Wang family is a clan that is united by Wang Zanghai's beliefs. After the Wang family's main base was destroyed, these spies fell silent and had long since merged with the Nine Gates. Moreover, they were not passed down by bloodline, but by beliefs and faith, so they were difficult to wipe out in one go.

For details, please refer to the situation with S.H.I.E.L.D.!

However, over the years, the remnants of the Wang family have not given up and have regrouped, driven by ambition and a desire for revenge against Hu Ming!
The woman in the leather jacket and tight-fitting clothes in front of us, Su Nan, is the Wang family member who escaped the disaster years ago and has been on field missions all along!
Sure enough, the woman's gaze as she looked at Hu Ming was filled with a raging, magma-like fury.

"Tsk, putting everything else aside, their ability to brainwash their people is truly top-notch." Upon seeing this, Hu Ming smiled enigmatically.

"What is he talking about? And when did Hu Ming become an archaeology professor?"

Li Cu moved closer to Wu Xie and asked, puzzled.

"Don't ask so many questions, little brat!"

Wu Xie glared at Li Chu, and his gaze towards Su Nan held a newfound wariness.
This team is really full of all sorts of weirdos; the days ahead are going to be tough.

"Professor Hu, how would I know about the affairs of highly educated people like you? I, Su Nan, am just a mercenary who lives on the edge of a knife and runs for my life."

"Professor Hu, since you've said so, how could we not believe you?"

Su Nan smiled kindly, barely suppressing the anger and murderous intent in his eyes, and smiled gently.

Children love to act swiftly and decisively, but adults know what forbearance is.

In particular, Su Nan knew that she was no match for Hu Ming, and now was not a good time to take revenge; she needed to plan carefully.

For Su Nan now, the most important thing is to avoid exposing her identity.

"...Professor Hu, Guan Gen, Su Nan, I know you each have your own ideas and what you each want, but it doesn't matter!"

"I don't care what you think, I only want what I need! I just want to find that treasure that will allow me to live like a normal person again! As for the rest of the things in Gutongjing, you can do whatever you want with them."

"In fact, if you like money, I can give you a lot, provided you get me what I need!"

After a moment of contemplation, Boss Ma broke the awkward atmosphere by speaking up. He took a deep look at the group of people, each with their own ulterior motives, and made his point clear, taking the lead in expressing his opinion.

"Mr. Ma, you're joking. We're a team now, all aiming for Gutongjing. Why would you say something I don't understand?"

"As a team, shouldn't we cooperate sincerely?"

Wu Xie laughed, lit a cigarette, and tried to smooth things over.

Hu Ming and Su Nan, who had not yet revealed their true intentions, were naturally indifferent. They nodded in agreement with a look of goodwill and unity, praising Guan Gen's words as very well said. They would definitely cooperate sincerely to serve Boss Ma and help him achieve his wishes.

Only Li Cu, this naive fellow, looked on with a bewildered expression at the seemingly "harmonious" group.

"This is the filthy adult world. I can see it all; they clearly wish they could pull out knives and kill each other the next moment, yet they maintain a facade of unity and goodwill. It's terrifying!"

Li Chu unconsciously shrank back, sighing to himself.

This seventeen-year-old boy, who had not yet left the ivory tower, witnessed the malice from the "adult" group for the second time.

"So you still have a lot to learn, Li Chu."

Wang Meng smiled and put his arm around Li Cu's shoulder like a good buddy.

What a united and friendly team!
