Tomb raiding: following the plot while tearing up the script

Su Li, who had been following Wu Xie, suddenly poked her head out and met A Ning's surprised gaze.

Su Li raised her paw and waved, greeting everyone very politely. "Hi, Miss Aning, long time no see!"

Ah Ning almost thought she was seeing things. Wasn't this the boy Hei Xiazi had been with? How could he be here?

"What are you doing here?" Ah Ning asked, glancing around the boat to see if the bearded man was there too.

"You hired him?" Su Li answered obediently, standing there thinking he was someone's child visiting.

"When do I hire..." Ah Ning hadn't quite grasped the situation at first, and halfway through her sentence, she suddenly looked at Wu Xie.

Wu Xie nodded. "My assistant, Su Li."

“Mr. Wuxie, I remember that employing child labor is illegal in China,” A Ning said quietly.

Su Li looked proud. "It's okay, I'm an unregistered resident."

Security Department official Qin: ...No...

Ah Ning looked at him like he was a little fool. "Unregistered residents can't board planes."

Oh ho, is that so?

Sue, who has no common sense: This is a bit embarrassing.

"Oh, it's okay, you're breaking the law by robbing tombs anyway." Su Li said with a deadpan expression.

Ah Ning gave a polite smile. "Please rest assured, our company is a legitimate exploration and research company with all the necessary permits and licenses."

Hmm, another lead. Old Qin should have pretty much pinpointed the protector who gave Jude Kao's company the green light.

"Can legitimate companies carry firearms?" Su Li asked sincerely.

Aning:......

This brat... he's just wasted his mouth.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing, Miss Aning. Didn't you say the situation was urgent? How come you still have time to bicker with the child here?"

Wu Xie stepped forward to stop the two who wanted to continue arguing, and well, his persuasion had a hint of taking sides.

Ah Ning also felt that she was being a bit strange, actually arguing with a little kid here.

Taking a deep breath and controlling her expression, she's back to being the dashing and spirited Miss Aning.

"follow me."

After saying that, he walked into the cabin first.

Wu Xie pulled Su Li along and followed.

The entrance to the cabin was very messy.

Various instruments, large exploration equipment, diving equipment, food, and other items were piled up in heaps, clearly indicating that they hadn't had time to move them inside and organize them yet. It was evident that they were in a real hurry on this trip.

Old Liu, who was driving them, seemed to have said that one of the missing expedition members was the son of a high-ranking company executive, which is probably true.

After passing through the cluttered area of ​​stored supplies, we entered the rear warehouse, where several wooden planks were haphazardly placed, covered with grease-stained bedding...

This environment is a bit outrageous.

At this moment, a bald man who was a bit overweight in middle age was already sitting on one of the wooden boards. As soon as he saw the person coming in, he got up and shook hands with Wuxie very warmly.

A strong, large hand gripped Wuxie and shook him vigorously up and down a few times.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. My surname is Zhang."

He then shook hands with Su Li, who came in behind him, introducing himself and handing her his business card.

When Wu Xie saw the lewd middle-aged man holding Su Li's small, tender hand, he was furious. He stepped forward, pulled the man away, and shielded Su Li behind him.

The visual impact was so strong, it was as if a pervert was eyeing a thriving baby cabbage. Wu Xie really couldn't stand it.

"My child is shy around strangers, please don't touch him or scare him."

Look how scared the child is! He's still in shock, standing there dumbfounded, not even knowing how to resist.

Was Zuli really scared?

Actually, it counts...

However, the scary part is...

Where's my big brother Zhang? Where's that big, handsome, aloof, and reliable big brother Zhang? What is this thing in front of me?

As soon as they arrived, Su Li sensed a familiar presence nearby, after all, they had a contract and had lived together for so long.

He also knew the plot; Zhang Qiling would disguise himself as Professor Zhang, the consultant in the rescue team, and he also knew that this Professor Zhang was a greasy middle-aged man…

but……

Words can't match the impact of seeing it for yourself.

Brother Zhang is really going all out!

The next second, hands moved faster than brains; a quick snap of photos was taken, then the phone was put away...

What a smooth and seamless operation!

Everyone present was completely bewildered by his series of actions, staring at him with confusion.

Zhang Qiling maintained his greasy persona on the surface, but in reality, his toes were already working like crazy, as if he wanted to dig out an ancient tomb on the spot and hide inside to isolate himself.

When Su Li saw that everyone was staring at him, he realized what he had just done and felt a little embarrassed.

She leaned close to Wuxie's ear and said, "Take a picture and tell my brother when we get back."

Wu Xie suddenly realized what was going on and expressed his support, giving Su Li a thumbs up.

This bald guy Zhang dared to take advantage of Ali. Keep a good photo, and I'll have my buddy come over and beat him up later.

The atmosphere was rather awkward, and the bald man stopped coming closer to them, sitting on the bed staring at the two of them, making Wu Xie feel uneasy all over.

“Professor Zhang is an expert dedicated to the study of Ming Dynasty underground palaces, and he is also a special advisor whom we specially invited to participate in this operation. He will be going with us to the underwater tomb to analyze the structure of the underground palace and the route of our operation,” Aning introduced naturally, breaking the deadlock.

Wu Xie's lips twitched slightly, but out of politeness he still forced a particularly fake smile and said, "It's an honor to meet you."

Then he turned to look at Aning.

"Miss Aning, I remember I joined a rescue team, what do you mean by this?"

"It's both a rescue and an exploration. There's a high probability that the missing person is trapped in the tomb. Professor Zhang's expertise in his field is outstanding and will be of great help to our operation."

When Zhang the Bald heard A Ning praising him, he gave a smug smile and waved his hand exaggeratedly.

"I'm flattered, I'm flattered. I was just lucky to publish a few papers and conduct relatively detailed research in this area. It's just a small achievement, a small achievement..."

The exaggerated, smug little man's expression was perfectly captured, then he suddenly turned and met a pair of bright, sparkling eyes...

. . . . . .

Wu Xie watched as Su Li listened intently to Zhang the Bald Man's boasting, her eyes even revealing...admiration? ???

Damn it! ! ! !

He raised his hand and covered the child's eyes.

The child's worldview is not yet mature, and we mustn't let this bald guy corrupt him.

"Professor Zhang is too modest."

Wu Xie gave a perfunctory compliment, but didn't let go of Su Li's hand.

“Ah Li, we must be tired from the journey. Let’s take a quick rest.”

Seeing that Wu Xie had said that, A Ning also gave a brief overview of the next action plan, and then turned to arrange other things.

Seeing that Wu Xie clearly didn't want to talk to anyone, the bald man wisely shut up, turned his back to Wu Xie and Su Li, and lay down on his own bed.

Watching him lie there on the greasy, black bedding, Su Li felt terrible and secretly decided that she would find an opportunity to secretly apply a few more cleaning spells to him later.

Looking back at the bed board assigned to me...

I love cultivation, and cultivation loves me. Meditation is great...
