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

Everyone got up very early the next day, because everyone had their own thoughts on their minds the night before.

However, one person slept very well. Old Wang stretched and stood downstairs, full of energy.

"Did none of you three sleep well last night? Why do you have such dark circles under your eyes?"

As soon as Lao Wang got back to the hotel yesterday, he took a shower and went to bed early. He didn't even notice Qin Feng leaving the room later.

So I don't understand why the three of them didn't sleep all night.

Yun glanced at Lao Wang's puzzled look and knew that Qin Feng hadn't told Lao Wang about the author.

After thinking for a while, Yun told Lao Wang the whole story of what happened last night.

“This person is definitely not one of Brother Zhang’s men. Although Brother Zhang is cunning and treacherous, he would never harm his own people. Now that we have accepted his mission, it means we are already one of his men.”

Old Wang anxiously explained to Jiang Hua, Qin Feng, and the others in front of him.

Jiang Hua nodded after hearing this, indicating that she understood.

“We didn’t suspect Brother Zhang. We just started speculating about who the author was. After all, besides Brother Zhang, there doesn’t seem to be anyone else who knows our itinerary so well. Could it be that there’s a mole inside Brother Zhang’s group?”

Yun also shook her head, indicating that she did not think that way.

"That's what I think too. After all, only Brother Zhang knows our itinerary well right now. If there really is a mole in Brother Tang's group, then we should remind Brother Zhang."

As Jiang Hua spoke, he was about to take out his phone to contact Brother Zhang.

"Otherwise, let me go. Let me go there and wait. Then, if you run into him, Jiang Hua, I'll just rush up and grab him, and interrogate him properly!"

Qin Feng clenched his fists and said with a fierce expression.

"All he ever does is fight and kill. What if he's thinking the same thing and has already planted others around? Wouldn't we be walking into a trap then?"

Old Wang rolled his eyes at Qin Feng, expressing his disdain for Qin Feng's idea.

"What should we do? Should we really obediently go there and meet him?"

After his idea was rejected, Qin Feng pouted and stood helplessly to the side, watching Jiang Hua and Lao Wang and the others.

"Let me find out who this author is first. If I know who the author is, things will be much easier to handle later."

After Jiang Hua finished speaking, he took Lao Wang and Qin Feng with him, and the group got into the car and headed towards their destination.

The next village wasn't far from where they had just been, so after driving for a little over an hour, their destination came into view.

"You guys stay here. I'll send you a message if anything goes wrong."

After Jiang Hua finished speaking, he also confirmed the direction of the restaurant.

"Otherwise, let me follow Jiang Hua and arrest this author directly. I don't believe that this author is so capable that he knows I want to arrest him."

Qin Feng looked at Jiang Hua's retreating figure and said with great disdain.

Qin Feng then got downstairs.

Yun and Lao Wang exchanged glances, agreeing that Qin Feng's words made perfect sense. They didn't believe that the author could have predicted that they would follow Jiang Hua.

So Yun and Lao Wang followed Qin Feng out of the car and headed towards the restaurant, but their movements and the route they took were not so aboveboard.

After arriving at the restaurant, Jiang Hua looked around and followed the waiter to the table they had agreed upon earlier.

However, the table was completely empty except for the dishes. In addition to the food, there were five bowls and chopsticks, as if there were five people attending the meeting.

Looking at the other five bowls and chopsticks, Jiang Hua couldn't help but wonder who else would come.

Jiang Hua sat quietly in his seat, waiting for the author to arrive.

But after half a day, no one appeared in front of Jiang Hua, so Jiang Hua couldn't help but wonder if she had been tricked.

So Jiang Hua took out her phone to contact him, just then Qin Feng and Yun came over.

"I think he's playing us for a fool."

Qin Feng and the others sat down and looked at Qin Feng and Yun. After they sat down, Jiang Hua seemed to understand who the extra bowls and chopsticks were for.

"These bowls and chopsticks were probably prepared for you..."

Jiang Hua silently raised her head and spoke to Qin Feng and Yun and the others.

Upon hearing Jiang Hua's words, Qin Feng, Lao Wang, and the others quickly looked at the bowls and chopsticks on the table and found that it was indeed as Jiang Hua had said.

The remaining bowl and chopsticks were naturally for the person they were going to meet.

"I knew you guys wouldn't obediently wait outside for Jiang Hua, so I asked the waiter to bring a few more sets of bowls and chopsticks."

A young man spoke as he walked toward Jiang Hua and Lao Wang.

The young man looked to be only ten years old, completely unlike the enigmatic figure described online.

This made Jiang Hua and Lao Wang wonder if this person was really the one they were supposed to meet.

The young man looked at Jiang Hua and Qin Feng, and the others seemed puzzled but not surprised at all, as if it were all expected.

"Do you think I'm too young, and that my image is completely different from what's presented to you online?"

As the young man spoke, he sat down and casually picked up his bowl and chopsticks to eat.

"You guys eat first, why are you being so polite with me?"

After the young man finished speaking, he immediately stuffed the food in his hand into his mouth.

It seemed like he was telling Jiang Hua and Lao Wang that he was busy eating and didn't have time to deal with them.

Jiang Hua and Qin Feng exchanged glances, all seeing the doubt in each other's eyes. However, Jiang Hua still felt that this young man must be the person they were looking for.

"You must be the author of that report, right? What did you call me here for?"

Jiang Hua and Qin Feng followed the young man's example and ate for a while.

"I called you here because I have something important to tell you, and what I have to say cannot be said online. If it is said online, it will be easy to expose what I have said."

Seeing that they were still wary of him, the young man thought for a moment and then continued speaking to Jiang Hua, Qin Feng, and the others.

“Actually, my father also went to this Stele Valley, but he didn’t come back alive. However, he left me a letter before he went. Let me show you this letter.”

The young man took out the letter and handed it directly to Jiang Hua.

Qin Feng, Lao Wang, and the others nearby also quickly leaned over, trying to see what was written on the envelope. (End of Chapter)
