Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 631

It was almost night when Hu Ming left the courtyard where Huo Xiuxiu was.

I've stayed here for so long...

It wasn't anything inappropriate for children; Hu Ming was simply being pulled by Huo Xiuxiu to drink tea...

The proper kind!
When he left, Hu Mingsheng was given a full dose of water.

It's worth mentioning that Hongxia's efficiency is beyond question; a low-key business vehicle was already quietly parked at the entrance.

It's the kind of company that, over the course of a few years, has supported 80% of the auto repair shops nationwide.
Hu Ming drove straight to Peking Union Medical College Hospital in Beijing.

Coincidentally, Liang Wan was not on night shift at the hospital tonight, which saved Hu Ming a lot of trouble.

I came here for no other reason than Hu Ming's wicked sense of humor.

Through various means, Hu Ming reached an agreement with the dean.

The boy with the back injury will definitely be hospitalized when he returns. And then, will his attending physician, Liang Wan, be able to escape responsibility?
It's nothing serious, just some personal little quirks.
If Hu Ming remembered correctly, Liang Wan was a doctor with a strong sense of responsibility.

The patients I was treating were taken away by some people I knew to be dangerous...

Hu Ming grinned silently; it was bound to be a good show.

"Hey Fatty, are you home? What's wrong with you? Why isn't the front door locked? I need to talk to you about something, but it's not convenient over the phone..."

"Oh my, what's going on here? What wind has blown you two together?"

"And what's with these two kids? What, are you two teaming up to scam children out of their money? You're both over 120 or 130 people combined, can't you have any shame?"

Hu Ming drove to Fatty's residence in Beijing, opened the unlocked door, and burst out laughing halfway through his sentence, joking with the four people in front of him, the two old and the two young.

A chubby man with shoulder-length wavy hair and a middle-aged man with a gold tooth sat on the sofa, both wearing round sunglasses that were popular in the last century.

The two were dressed smartly, exuding an aura of "successful people".

Sitting opposite them, looking a little awkward, were two teenagers around seventeen or eighteen years old. One of them looked like a well-behaved boy, nervously fidgeting with the hem of his clothes and cautiously observing the two of them.

Beside him sat a boy with a youthful, rebellious air about him.

"What kid? Are you trying to cause trouble? Beijing is such a small place, don't you even know who's in charge..."

Yang Hao, a young man with a thuggish air, felt displeased looking at the boy in front of him who was about the same age as him. He glared at him, about to explode.

but…

Hu Ming glanced at the object slightly, and a trace of his invisible aura was revealed.

Yang Hao instinctively shrank back, feeling as if he were being stared at by a prehistoric behemoth!
Almost instantly, Yang Hao broke out in a cold sweat, staring in fear at the seemingly harmless Hu Ming.

His intuition told him that if he had actually said those words... he would have died!
This boy in front of me is dangerous!
"Hey bro, what's wrong? Why are you all sweaty all of a sudden? Are you sick?" Su Wan, the boy in the plaid coat, noticed Yang Hao's change and asked with concern.

"Hey, Uncle, it's you! You look even better than before, it's been years!"

Gold Tooth chuckled as he glanced at the two bewildered teenagers, subtly shifting the cassette tape on the table toward himself.

This thing is a treasure!
"Alright, alright, look at you, you coward. With Hu Ming's stature, would you even look at this piece of junk? Don't any of you have any money from your families?" "Gold Tooth, your stature is far too small. Uncle Ming has plenty of good treasures. You could throw this thing in front of him and he might not even be interested in picking it up!"
"But Uncle, Uncle Jin, Uncle Hu, and my dad haven't given us much money since we turned eighteen. We've saved up all this wealth ourselves!"

The fat man dismissively brushed aside the gold-toothed man's hand, carelessly tossing the valuable cassette tape to Hu Ming, and then began to complain.

Judging from his posture, he wasn't worried at all about the possibility of it getting broken.

"This thing... I actually know what it is. It's a medium specially made by western countries in the 1940s to store some precious scientific research data. It's quite a rare old item..."

"I remember that only ten machines capable of decoding this thing were ever produced back then. So, where did you get this thing from? You didn't get it from your dad, did you?"

Hu Ming was too lazy to bother with Jin Ya's petty behavior. He looked the cassette tape up and down and understood perfectly.

"Look, these are the things these two kids have. That bastard Gold Tooth is a real scoundrel, always trying to swindle kids out of their things!"

"However... Uncle, this thing was sent to their friend Li Chu by a group of mysterious people. It must contain some important information. Do you have any ideas?"

The fat man casually made a sarcastic remark about Gold Tooth, then changed his tone and said something slightly more serious.

"Yes, yes, these things were sent to Li Chu by someone we don't know. He's been missing for a long time! Can you help us decipher the information on these?"

"As long as you can help us, we'll pay any amount—three thousand? Five thousand? Ten thousand?"

"We were all so worried about him, weren't we, brother?"

Upon hearing the familiar name, Su Wan's eyes lit up. He pulled Yang Hao, whose face was pale, and asked anxiously.

"Three thousand? Five thousand? Ten thousand?"

Under Jin Ya's pained gaze, Hu Ming casually tossed the cassette tape to Su Wan, went to the bar, grabbed a bottle of yogurt that the chubby boy loved, and looked at the rich second-generation Su Wan strangely.

money?
After all these years, is there still anyone trying to lure Hu Ming with money?
And, ten thousand yuan?
Nowadays, money is just a number to Hu Ming. To put it bluntly, Hu Ming is now the kind of tycoon who can make millions in no time!
"...Save your breath, kid. Don't you know who our Second Master is? Maybe your dad has a little money, but in front of our Second Master, he's nothing but a little brother!"

Gold Tooth stared longingly at the cassette tape in Su Ji's hand, racking his brains to get his hands on it.

……

Hu Ming isn't short of money, but he is! His father, the previous generation's "Big Gold Tooth," and now "Master Jin," haven't given him much money. Now, like Wang Banyue, he's completely self-made! They'll never have enough money!
This cassette tape is a rare and precious item. Putting aside the contents for now, the tape itself is enough for him to make a fortune!
"Come on, don't brag. What are you talking about? Don't let your boasting wipe out all the kids one day. You want to know what's on this?"

"What a coincidence! I actually know where in Beijing there's a machine that can decode this stuff. Speaking of which, I also know Li Chu. Consider this my way of doing a good deed."

"Well then, it's already late today. You should go back now and come back first thing tomorrow morning. I'll take you to decipher this tape!"

Hu Ming ignored him and turned to look at Su Wan and Yang Hao.

"Also, let me be clear from the start, both Li Chu and this tape involve some terrible secrets... Once you find out..."

"You are all smart and good students, so you should know what I mean, right? It's very dangerous; you could lose your life if you're not careful."

"Of course, I can assure you that Li Chu is safe, very safe, and there is absolutely no danger to him."

"My personal suggestion is to leave the tape here. Just pretend nothing happened, go back and get some sleep. Maybe your friend Li Chu will be back tomorrow morning?"

Hu Ming was playing with his phone, looking at the latest message from wx_, a slight smile playing on his lips. Then his expression changed, and he looked at the two of them with a serious look.
