Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 636

Rumors of Gutongjing...

Well, just thinking about this gives Hu Ming a headache.

It has to be said that Uncle Three is quite similar to JD.com in some ways.

They're all the type who's good at digging holes but not filling them...

Who the hell knows which of my third uncle's wild ideas this came from in my past life?
Putting aside the secret of the bronze door, what the hell is the secret behind this rumor?
"I once again sincerely wish that my third uncle suffers some misfortune in his later years, and that his whole body is covered in red hair!"

Hu Ming murmured unconsciously.

In that instant, Hu Ming almost began to believe in God!

"What ominous sign? What red-haired guy? Uncle Ming, what are you talking about?"

"Could it be that this sound will bring misfortune, causing one to grow red fur all over their body and turn into a red armadillo?"

Even sitting next to Hu Ming, Yin Nanfeng only heard the gist of the story and asked curiously.

"No, it's nothing, I just got distracted."

"Alright, Su Wan, Yang Hao, you've heard the contents of the tape. It doesn't contain the information you need..."

"So...now, go home, oh, and don't forget your cassette tapes!"

Hu Ming spoke to the two teenagers without changing his expression.

"Wait, Hu Ming... no, no, Master Ming!"

"Please, please help us! What's wrong with Yali? How can we find him?"

Seeing this, Su Wan asked anxiously.

"Li Chu, wait a moment, I'm going to reply to a message."

Hu Ming was about to say something when his phone suddenly rang on WeChat. He looked down at it and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

It was a message from Hongxia.

Those guarding the outskirts of Gutongjing have already received Li Chu, who escaped from Gutongjing alone and in a sorry state.

"What a coincidence! I can tell you definitively now that Li Chu is already on his way back to Beijing."

"You should be able to see him in two days from now!"

Hu Ming replied with a simple smile.

"real?"

Su Ji asked with some doubt.

"Otherwise what? What's the point of lying to you two little brats?"

"Those who know me know that I, Hu Mingyi, am no less than... oops, I mean, I never lie!"

Hu Ming answered without giving a direct answer.

"Uncle, I'm not trying to be mean, but... are you really planning to let these two clueless little brats go to Gutongjing with that kid Li Chu?"

"I'm not saying this to be rude, but sending them like this would only result in them being cannon fodder who die. They would not only be useless, but would also be a burden."

"Also, how's Tianzhen doing? Is he alright?"

After the two boys were sent away, the fat man couldn't help but ask anxiously.

Since arriving in Gutongjing, Wu Xie has deliberately and completely cut off contact with the outside world.

Unfortunately, the ancient city of Tongjing is extremely dangerous, and no one can say for sure what unknown dangers might lurk inside.

"Don't worry, the blind man is with Wu Xie, nothing will happen to him."

Hu Ming answered casually.

"As for those two kids, do you think I would do something so foolish?" "Reality is often crueler than novels and movies. It's good that they care about their friends, but... just as you said, if they go to Gutongjing, they're definitely going to die!"

"At the very least, I don't think either Wu Xie or the blind man would have time to save them amidst their busy schedules."

Finally, Hu Ming added.

Gutongjing is no amusement park! It's a dangerous place that has buried at least a three-digit number of corpses!
For an ordinary person to go there is almost certain death!
"Let's leave the matter of those two children aside for now; there are plenty of ways to handle that. Hu Ming, I have something to discuss with you."

After a long silence, Zhang Yueshan suddenly spoke in a deep voice.

"Is this a matter concerning the Chen family, or a matter concerning Liang Wan?"

"If it concerns the Chen family, I can only tell you, forget it!"

"I've never been a generous person, and I don't subscribe to the modern misinterpretation of 'repaying evil with kindness.' I prefer to repay evil with death!"

"Violence may not solve all problems, but at least it can eliminate the root of the trouble, and that's enough. I prefer things to be simple and direct."

Hu Ming interrupted Zhang Yueshan's words without any manners, and said softly.

Zhang Yueshan came specifically to find out his purpose...

Hu Ming was able to guess it just by guessing.

"Tsk, ruthless and vicious. Cutting the weeds and eliminating the roots to prevent further trouble. If you were in my time, you would definitely be a powerful and ruthless figure!"

After a long silence, Zhang Yueshan gave a bitter smile and said no more. He knew that Hu Ming had made up his mind.

"As for Liang Wan... you did notice some problems, didn't you?"

"I only recently discovered something strange about Liang Wan; she's different from the other members of the Wang family. Her tattoos are very strange!"

"You and I both know that the tattoos the Wang family is talking about are different from the bloodline tattoos of my Zhang family and yours. They are just ordinary tattoos that are artificially imprinted on newborns using a special technique to distinguish their identities."

"But Liang Wan's tattoos..."

Zhang Yueshan carefully considered his words, trying to express his meaning as clearly as possible.

"Liang Wan's tattoo is fundamentally different from the phoenix tattoo on the assassin you captured!"

"Liang Wan's tattoos seem to contain a peculiar power—no, it's more accurate to say that something resides within them than power!"

When Hu Ming first met Liang Wan, he immediately sensed that Liang Wan was somewhat different from the other members of the Wang family.

The thing residing in Liang Wan's body caused her phoenix tattoo to be completely different from the other members of the Wang family!
That tattoo, though not a bloodline tattoo that possesses some mysterious power, still had a certain mystical quality.

"So, it really wasn't my imagination... Liang Wan."

"What exactly is that thing?"

Zhang Yueshan revealed a complicated expression.

He knew that Hu Ming's perception was always more acute than others, especially when it came to such mysterious and elusive things, which he seemed to predict with uncanny accuracy.

"Then I wouldn't know, unless you're willing to let your woman take off her top in front of me so I can take a good look at her..."

Are you willing?

Hu Ming spoke with a playful smile in his eyes and a teasing tone.

"...I'll just wait for that factory thing to slip up on its own!"

As expected, no man could tolerate this. Zhang Rishan's face darkened, and he said irritably.

"Wait a minute! I think I've got the key point!"

"I'm telling you, Lieutenant Zhang, no, Chairman Zhang! You heartlessly included your woman in the plan, just for this? Just because of some suspicion?"

"Are you even a man?"

The fat man, who seemed to understand something, suddenly interrupted Zhang Yueshan and looked at him with disdain.
