Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 700 Wu Xie's Physique!
"I've completely forgotten what I was going to say to Hu Ming after all that rambling."

At the entrance of the teahouse, Wu Erbai saw Hu Ming off, pondered for a long time, and suddenly realized something.

He originally had something he wanted to ask Hu Ming to do, but Hu Ming dropped some shocking news and he completely forgot about it!
Damn it!
Wu Erbai rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on, and began to question the meaning of life.

He was a notorious old fox, always the one outsmarting others. Who would have thought that one day he would be the one knocked unconscious by someone else?

It's not really his fault; the main reason is that the news Hu Ming brought was too shocking.

"Forget it, given Hu Ming's personality, he probably already knows what I need his help with... We'll decide on the specifics later."

"And...Buddha...you really are a heartless person."

Recalling the possibilities Hu Ming mentioned, Wu Erbai felt a chill run down his spine just by listening to them, and felt a slight fear of the ruthless Buddha.

……

After leaving the teahouse, Hu Ming went straight home without delay.

"Uncle Ming, you have a guest. It seems there's something urgent that Zhang Qiling needs to help with..."

"They're in Zhang Qiling's room. If they don't see you soon, they'll probably be leaving soon."

Even after finishing his business, Yin Nanfeng, determined to take a vacation, refused to leave Hangzhou.

With a barrage of phone calls about all sorts of trivial matters at home, Yin Nanfeng simply threw his phone away!
At this moment, he was lounging lazily on the living room sofa, watching a Korean drama that Hu Ming could never appreciate...

"What's so interesting about this thing? I know, it's a blind man, isn't it?"

Hu Ming glanced at the TV, rolled his eyes,
That's it? Those male leads who are made up and enhanced by filters aren't even as handsome as him, okay?
"Huh? You know?"

Yin Nanfeng nodded, realizing what was happening, and looked at Hu Ming in surprise.

"Wu Erbai isn't in our line of work after all. If we need help, someone we can contact and trust, besides my brothers, the only other person is the blind man!"

"You can keep an eye on it for now. If you get hungry, go out and eat. I have to go out again later."

He casually gave Yin Nanfeng a few instructions, gently tapped her forehead, and before Hu Ming could go to his brother's room, the door was opened from the inside.

"Tsk! How old are you? Can't you be a little more mature? Still acting like a young couple, showing off your love here?"

The blind man wearing sunglasses said that a mere pair of sunglasses could not block out this blinding scene at all, covered his eyes, and said in a sarcastic tone.

"Shut up! You think you're so talkative?"

Hu Ming rolled his eyes.

It's not hard to understand why single people are often a little envious of those who seem to be winners in life.

"Alright. Looks like I was right to wait for you. That old bastard Wu Erbai probably didn't even ask you for help, did he?"

The blind man didn't take it seriously, stepped forward, put his arm around Hu Ming's shoulder, called to the silent young man, and the three of them walked towards the door.

Uncle Ming, come back soon!

Yin Nanfeng waved goodbye without turning his head.

"As for the nanny, I'm not interested anymore. Isn't the delivery guy enough?"

Although Wu Erbai hadn't said it out loud, Hu Ming had already roughly guessed what he was thinking.

Wu Erbai treated this nephew as his own son, caring for him like his own child.

"..."

The young man looked at Hu Ming indifferently, without saying a word. Hu Ming.

"Let's go, let's go. It's almost time. That kid Wu Xie is a real troublemaker. If we don't go soon, he might get himself killed."

Hei Xiazi was a little annoyed. Even though he had known the guy for a long time, he was still not used to this silent way of communicating.

Outside the door, the blind man was driving a beat-up minivan.

"Originally, any one of the three of us could have gone, but then I thought, we're just killing time anyway, why not go and join in the fun?"

"Speaking of which... Hu Ming, would you like to join me in a few days?"

"Since you don't want to go to the South China Sea to be Wu Xie's babysitter, why don't you come with me on an adventure? Wu Erbai gave me quite a lot of money this time, even though you don't care about it."

As they drove towards the mountainous area on the outskirts of the city, Hu Ming was dozing off. The young man never spoke on his own initiative, and Hei Xiazi, feeling a bit bored, tried to make conversation.

"sure….."

Hu Ming thought for a moment, put away the "mother stone" that originally belonged to His Majesty the First Emperor, which he had obtained from the depths of Gutongjing, and nodded.

He understood what Hei Xiazi meant; it simply meant that the clues were almost complete, and Wu Xie would be heading to the South Sea King's underground palace soon.

Wu Erbai originally wanted Hu Ming and Xiao Ge to work as Wu Xie's babysitters just in case...

It can only be said that Wu Erbai was too cautious and underestimated Wu Xie.

Black Bear, entrusted by Wu Erbai, is to steal something in a few days...

Hu Ming has never stolen anything before!
"Speaking of which, you call Wu Erbai 'Second Uncle' so affectionately in front of him, but behind his back, you're actually Wu Erbai himself?"

Seeing Hei Xiazi rambling on and on about some nonsense, Hu Ming casually asked a question.

There's nothing I can do; he's the boss who pays me, so I still have that much professional ethics. The boss is God, and we have to treat God with the utmost enthusiasm!
"As you all know, I'm old enough to be Wu Erbai's grandfather. What's wrong with calling him by his first name behind his back? I'm already being lenient by not teaching his grandson."

Black Bear released his hands from the steering wheel and danced wildly.

Keep in mind, on this deserted national highway, this thing was practically revving the engine to 130 km/h!
However, Hu Ming and the young man only glanced at it and then ignored it; they were no ordinary people.

Even if an accident occurs at 130 km/h, they will have enough time to jump out of the car.

They were all in the back seat, but there were no seatbelts to restrain them.

"We've arrived at the residence of one of the members of the team that investigated the South Sea King's underground palace under the Buddha's guidance back then."

About half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a small mountain village in the mountains. Hei Xiazi took out a cigarette and pointed to the village ahead, which was as desolate as a ghost village.

Nowadays, young people in rural areas, especially in mountainous regions, are all desperately trying to get into big cities. The population living in these almost isolated mountain villages has probably dwindled to an alarming degree.

Under the cover of night, especially under the cover of a strong wind, it is no different from a ghost village.

"Let's go. Let's see what kind of weird thing our little darling has encountered this time... I have to say, his strange constitution is just unbelievable."

With keen senses, Hu Ming and the others sensed a slightly ominous atmosphere deep within the village and in the back mountains. The three of them looked at each other and sighed.

Having known Wu Xie for a long time, one can't help but wonder if there really are special physical characteristics similar to those of the Grim Reaper elementary school student.

The Grim Reaper Elementary School Student brings death wherever he goes!
Wu Xie seems to encounter evil spirits wherever he goes.

That’s outrageous!
