Tomb Raider: Evolution of the Red Dragon, Starting from the Ancient City of Jingjue

Qin Feng turned to look at Jiang Hua, waiting for Jiang Hua to make a decision, because they both knew that if Jiang Hua felt something was amiss, this middle-aged man would need to be dealt with a little.

Most importantly, the middle-aged man in front of them had seen all their treasures, and they couldn't be sure that his words just now were just a trick to get their treasures.

"Why do you want us to go to your house? Is there some kind of ambush waiting for us there? So don't even think about having any wicked ideas."

Qin Feng stepped forward, clenched his fist, and was about to punch the middle-aged man. Seeing Qin Feng's fierce appearance, the middle-aged man took a step back and pretended to be very scared.

"If you don't believe me, fine, but why resort to violence..."

After glancing at Jiang Hua and Qin Feng, the middle-aged man gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind, and raised his head to speak to the man in front of him.

"The reason I stopped you just now was so that you could help me provide some proof, to prove that what I said a few years ago wasn't just rambling nonsense, so that I could regain my status as a normal person..."

The middle-aged man looked at Jiang Hua and Qin Feng cautiously.

However, Jiang Hua couldn't help but frown after hearing this. If I were to prove it for him, it would only seem simple on the surface and there would indeed be no problem.

But if it is proven that there really is something there, then some other villagers with ill intentions might very well ask themselves what they got out of it.

Some even more outrageous ones might try to force you to pay money and prevent you from leaving.

Although Jiang Hua was powerful, it was not appropriate for him to beat up these villagers.

"We can help you..."

Qin Feng glanced at Jiang Hua, then turned around and patted the middle-aged man's shoulder pitifully, as if he felt sorry for the man.

Upon hearing Qin Feng's words, the middle-aged man was so excited he almost jumped up, but Jiang Hua stepped forward and shook her head at Qin Feng.

"Proving this for you isn't as simple as it seems on the surface. Let's think about it. And we can only consider helping you prove it after we've sorted out our own issues."

As Jiang Hua spoke, she shielded Qin Feng and Yun behind her, while also hiding the treasures behind her to prevent the middle-aged man from continuing to stare at them.

"That's no problem. Do you have any transportation or other options? I know an expert who will definitely give you a good price because of me. If you can vouch for me, I won't leave you empty-handed."

The middle-aged man looked at Jiang Hua and Qin Feng with a vulnerable expression, his eyes filled with clear expectation.

It's as if they regard Jiang Hua, Qin Feng, and the other two as their angels or the hope of their lives.

"Actually, I drove here. I was thinking of giving the car away because the keys are still in it. If we're lucky, we might be able to find it again. If we're not lucky, we'll have to walk back."

The middle-aged man spoke, looking somewhat embarrassed at Jiang Hua and Qin Feng in front of him.

Hearing what the middle-aged man said, Jiang Hua's concerns lessened a bit. If it really was suicide, then the car was indeed useless.

"Where is your car? Take me there."

The middle-aged man nodded immediately upon hearing this, and as if he had perked up, he stood next to Jiang Hua and was about to lead her away.

"You wait for me here. If there are any problems, give me a signal."

After thinking for a while, Jiang Hua decided it would be better to follow the middle-aged man and keep an eye on things.

Moreover, given the desolate surroundings, it would be difficult for this middle-aged man to send someone else to deal with Qin Feng and Yun. Furthermore, Qin Feng and Yun are not weaklings; they could easily handle ordinary civilians or those with some strength.

"You can go and check on him without worry. Bring a car along the way. After all, there's so much stuff. If I had to carry all this stuff, I'd really cry."

Qin Feng nodded, indicating that he already knew.

The middle-aged man next to him didn't say anything and just silently waited for Jiang Hua to follow behind him.

After leaving Qin Feng and Yun, Jiang Hua couldn't help but scrutinize the middle-aged man in front of her. This kind of man didn't seem to have any outstanding features; he would simply be overlooked in a crowd.

"I know you still doubt me, but don't worry, what I just said is absolutely true. If you can help me prove that what I said before wasn't just hearsay, I will definitely reward you."

The middle-aged man gave a wry smile as he spoke.

"However, I doubt you'd even consider what I'm offering you. But I'll do my best to teach you the best things I can, as long as you can help me prove my innocence. After all, you have far more than I do now. All I want is to clear my name."

The middle-aged man sighed and continued speaking to Jiang Hua.

Hearing what the middle-aged man said, Jiang Hua stopped looking around and waited for him to lead her to the vehicle.

Soon a four-wheeled car appeared in front of Jiang Hua.

This is an old-fashioned four-wheel drive vehicle, but you can tell that Old Wang has considerable skill.
After all, most families can't afford a car like this, so Jiang Hua couldn't help but take another look at Old Wang.

Old Wang seemed to notice Jiang Hua's gaze as well. He scratched the back of his head and said somewhat embarrassedly.

“I used to be somewhat famous, so I bought this car through my hard work during that time. But now that that incident happened, no one believes me anymore, and I feel a little out of place driving this car.”

Hearing what Lao Wang said, Jiang Hua didn't respond directly, but simply nodded to indicate that she understood and continued following behind Lao Wang.
Arriving at the four-wheel drive vehicle, Jiang Hua couldn't help but take a look inside and found that, just as Old Wang had said, there was indeed a key inside.

Moreover, there was nothing there, and it didn't seem like someone was here for tourism or waiting for someone.

Therefore, Jiang Hua trusted what Lao Wang had said earlier to some extent. Lao Wang went directly to the driver's seat, opened the car door, and took out the key to show Jiang Hua.

"I didn't lie to you, did I? The key is inside."

Old Wang looked as if he had won the competition and said to Jiang Hua with a proud expression.

Jiang Hua nodded in agreement.

"Let's go back and pick them up."

As Jiang Hua spoke, he stretched out his hand. Old Wang was taken aback when he saw Jiang Hua extend his hand.

But he quickly understood what Jiang Hua meant, and hurriedly handed the key he was holding to Jiang Hua.
Jiang Hua took the car keys to prevent Old Wang from doing anything underhanded while driving.

If I drive myself, I can avoid what Old Wang might do.

However, seeing how readily Old Wang handed her the keys, Jiang Hua's concerns lessened somewhat. (End of Chapter)
