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

But just two steps after Jiang Hua took out, Old Wang suddenly grabbed her back.

"Let's stop struggling. Even God doesn't want me to properly prove my innocence. If I keep going, I'll only be humiliating myself. Just let me give up. At least I can still deceive myself for a while."

Old Wang shook his head and said to Jiang Hua.

"But I'm also a little curious, what exactly happened? Why can't I see anything for no reason? I can hardly believe what I'm seeing now."

Jiang Hua tried to break free from Lao Wang's grasp, but Lao Wang held on tightly, preventing him from getting any closer.

"That's fine, let's go back."

Old Wang looked at Jiang Hua with a firm gaze and said.

When Jiang Hua saw this, he couldn't help but feel puzzled, but he knew that if he continued to move forward, Old Wang would definitely stop him.

So Jiang Hua thought about it and decided to come over a little later.

After sending Lao Wang back, Jiang Hua and Qin Feng returned to the hotel, but Jiang Hua was lost in thought.

"I don't think that exit is as simple as it seems. Let's go back and take another look."

The fact that no one has been discovered at this exit for so long suggests that someone must have tampered with it.

Although there is an iron gate blocking the way, if someone really wanted to break through the gate and go in, it wouldn't be a problem to use brute force.

"Didn't Old Wang say to hold back a little for him, hoping he wouldn't lose too badly? Seeing how dejected he looks, I can't bear to discourage him."

Yun sighed and said to Jiang Hua.

"But don't you find it strange? Just as I was about to go up and see what was going on, Old Wang grabbed my hand tightly, as if he wouldn't let me leave at all."

Jiang Hua raised an eyebrow and spoke to Qin Feng and Yun.

Hearing Jiang Hua say this, Qin Feng and Yun also recalled the scene of Old Wang tightly gripping Jiang Hua's hand. Thinking about it, they also felt that something was amiss.

After all, Jiang Hua, Qin Feng, and the other two went there to prove Lao Wang's innocence. How could Lao Wang give up the opportunity to prove his innocence now?

"So you're saying that Lao Wang is doing something behind our backs?"

Qin Feng immediately perked up and looked at Jiang Hua with anticipation.

"I don't rule out the possibility that the situation hasn't been clarified yet, and I can't say anything casually. If we want to know the answer to the mystery, I think we should go back to that place and take a look. This time, I will definitely take a good look and see if it's really not as Old Wang said."

After a while, Jiang Hua led Qin Feng and Yun back to the exit, but this time they saw the same scene they had come out of.

This scene left Jiang Hua and Qin Feng completely dumbfounded once again.

"This is how to do ah?"

Yun paused for a moment, then looked at Jiang Hua in front of her and said, while Jiang Hua was also a little confused looking at the exit in front of him.

"Check your surroundings for anything suspicious."

After thinking for a while, Jiang Hua had no choice but to look for evidence from the side.

Otherwise, it would be quite unlikely to find evidence directly from this exit.

Moreover, they didn't bring any tools to climb in, and if they accidentally fell in, they'd probably have to climb back up using a ladder. Jiang Hua really didn't want to experience all this trouble again.

Jiang Hua, along with Qin Feng and Yun, searched the surrounding area for a while but found nothing that they found suspicious.

This is what's causing Jiang Hua a headache.

Since his initial guess was wrong, Jiang Hua was unsure how to proceed.

"How about we start with Lao Wang? After all, you think Lao Wang is the suspicious person. If we don't start with Lao Wang, we won't be able to investigate the other things."

Hearing Qin Feng's words, Jiang Hua also felt that it made sense. In fact, Jiang Hua had no doubt that after noticing that something was wrong here, Old Wang immediately returned here to deal with some things.

If Old Wang didn't tamper with it, how did this place reappear in front of me?
Moreover, Jiang Hua looked at the things around him and didn't feel anything strange at all.

After returning to the hotel, Jiang Hua took out the task sheet that Brother Zhang had given him.

Just then, Zhang Ge's call came in, and Jiang Hua glanced at the number displayed on the screen, hesitating whether to answer.

Why didn't you answer Brother Zhang's call?

As Qin Feng passed by Jiang Hua, he glanced at the number displayed on the screen and couldn't help but say something to her.

"Because for a time I didn't know who was friend or foe."

Now Jiang Hua feels that Brother Zhang is more like a friend, while the suspicious Lao Wang is more like an enemy.

While Qin Feng and Yun were still in a daze, Jiang Hua sighed and answered the call.

"I've prepared some equipment for you. I don't know if you'd like to take a look at your new gear. However, the equipment is placed here. You can come and see it if you want. It's not mandatory for you to take on the quest. I just want you to see what the equipment I've provided is like."

Hearing what Brother Zhang said, Jiang Hua couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

It's important to know that Jiang Hua hasn't yet expressed whether he'll take on this mission, but Brother Zhang has already prepared the equipment while Jiang Hua is hesitating.

It was as if he was already certain that he would take on this task.

"Brother Zhang, the way you're acting makes it seem like you've already guessed I'll take on this task."

Jiang Hua didn't answer whether he wanted to go check the equipment, but instead jokingly said something to Zhang Ge on the other side.

"I'm not so sure you'll take this mission, but based on the information I've gathered, I know you're an adventurous person who enjoys challenges, so I think there's a high probability you'll accept it."

Jiang Hua couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, pondering Zhang Ge's expression on the other end of the phone.

I didn't expect that Brother Zhang actually knew me quite well.

“Brother Zhang, how do you know? Your understanding is only one-sided. Actually, I’m not that kind of person at all. After all, I’ve already earned enough money to live comfortably for the rest of my life. Why would I take this risk?”

Upon hearing Jiang Hua's words, Brother Zhang across from him couldn't help but burst into laughter, and then didn't continue the conversation.

"Whether you want to take on this mission or not, I want you to see the equipment you can bring. I can only tell you that if you come and see it, I will definitely impress you."

After Zhang finished speaking, Jiang Hua stopped talking to him.

Zhang Ge's words successfully piqued Jiang Hua's interest. (End of Chapter)
