Tomb raiding: Trying to become a little painter

Wu Xie was preoccupied with something, so he pressed Wang Meng a bit harder, urging her to buy the plane ticket. But Wang Meng's reply gave him a headache; how could he forget that his younger brother didn't have an ID card...? Wait a minute, how did his younger brother manage to board the plane last time without an ID card...?

Thinking this way, Wu Xie asked the question aloud.

"Hey buddy, do you have your ID card now?"

Wu asked blankly.

When Zhang Qilin heard Wu Xie ask for his ID card, he pursed his lips and nodded to Wu Xie.

He didn't have an ID card before, and neither did the blind man, but later He Nian helped them get one with just one phone call. Now, the two, who are both blind and mute, are legally documented when they go out. As long as they don't do anything reckless, they don't have to worry about the police.

"That's good, that's good! I'll ask Wang Meng to buy plane tickets right away!"

Upon hearing that the young man had an ID card, Wu Xie immediately and "happily" instructed Wang Meng.

Upon hearing the news, Wang Meng rolled her eyes behind Wu's back, then quickly clicked a series of buttons to buy plane tickets.

...........................................

Changsha Airport.

At 1:35 PM Beijing time, a plane flying from Hangzhou Airport to Changsha Airport landed.

The four of them left the airport. This time, Wu Xie closed Wu Shan Ju, and naturally brought Wang Meng with him. After all, Wang Meng had been his employee for several years. Wu Xie knew Wang Meng well and knew that he was one of the subordinates his second uncle had assigned to him. He was loyal and easier to train. He brought him along this time because he wanted to cultivate a confidant like Uncle Jing, who was by his second uncle's side.

drop!drop!drop!

Not far from the airport exit were taxi and unlicensed cab stands, but the four didn't need to walk that far to catch a ride, because Panzi was standing not far away outside a Jinta car, waving at them...

"Young Master! Over here!"

A deep, slightly urgent voice came from Panzi not far away.

Qin Henian and the others also saw Pan Zi, and they all walked towards him. Soon after, they all got into the car.

"Panzi, find us a hotel to stay in first. Tell me about the situation with the gambling den, the people below, and Uncle San's antique business, so I can have a better understanding of the situation."

As soon as Wu Xie got into the car, he put his hand on Pan Zi's shoulder in the driver's seat and patted him to signal him to drive, while making his demands.

Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of an inconspicuous two-story self-style hotel in an alley outside Changsha Antique Street. Everyone got out of the car, went into the hotel, checked into a room, and then gathered together.

Wang Meng took out his computer and documents, along with a current map of Changsha, and placed it on the bed. Several locations on the map were marked with red and blue circles. The different colors represented the different attitudes of the various managers of Wu Sanxing's Changsha operations. Red circles indicated that as long as they could make money and gain benefits by following Wu Xie, it would be better than following Wu Sanxing; they were now willing to make contact with Wu Xie. Blue circles represented the positions of those who were wavering or had already defected...

“There are eight of these businesses in Changsha. I don’t know the exact number of shops, but each area has its own big boss. They used to work for Third Master, but now several of them are unclear about their stance. Some of them have even openly stated that they want to be independent. The situation is tense right now.”

"The only ones still willing to follow us are the two head managers of the gambling dens. They are as loyal to Third Master as I am. However, the men under us were previously unsettled, but they have calmed down a bit after Blackie and Fatty left. The situation is still relatively peaceful now. Third Master, what do you think...?"

Panzi pointed at the map with his fingertips, gesturing and muttering about the current situation...

Wu Xie's clear eyes finally turned sharp. Listening to Pan Zi talk about the trouble that had arisen in Changsha after his third uncle's disappearance, he felt a sense of sorrow. His third uncle had been in this business for so long, and now someone was already eagerly devouring what he had left behind.

"We can make more contact with those who are still listening to us. We won't rush those who are unstable. Panzi, you should compile a list of those who have already defected. We need to give these traitors a good talking-to. We have to make an example of them to show them what's what, so that some of them won't become fence-sitters and just follow the wind. If we don't teach them a lesson, how will they ever learn?"

Wu glanced at the markings on the map, already having a first idea in mind. The next step depended on whether those people chose the right direction.

beep!beep!beep!

beep!beep!beep!

Just as the group was listening to Wu Xie's words and preparing to discuss their options, two footsteps suddenly came from the hotel entrance, along with the beeping sound of a missed call...

"Hello? Who is it? What do you need Fatty for?"

Footsteps approached the door, and a more familiar voice came from the side with the heavier footsteps, reaching the ears of everyone inside.

"How dare you, you brat?!"

"What did you say?! Say it again! Believe me or not, I'll send your whole family on their way!!!"

Fatty Wang gripped the phone, veins bulging on his forehead, eyes wide, chest heaving, his face contorted with rage. Suddenly, he threateningly spoke into the phone with a terrifying expression.

Beside him was Hei Xiazi, whose hearing was keen. Hearing the words coming from the other end of the phone, the corners of his mouth curled up, and a bloodthirsty ruthlessness flashed in his eyes behind his sunglasses.

The four people inside the house who heard the familiar voices in the courtyard put down their documents, opened the door and went out. As soon as they went out, they saw the strange situation of the two people outside.

Seeing Wang Pangzi's current disregard for his image, Qin Henian's fingers, hanging in the air, twitched slightly and irregularly. A red light flashed in his eyes, and he felt somewhat indignant.

Some people are truly courting death while simultaneously seeking it, as if they're afraid they won't die quickly enough to complain to the King of Hell.

beep…

When the phone went dead, Fatty Wang suddenly gripped the phone tightly, his eyes flashing with malice. He looked up at the people on the other end but didn't look back.

"Wu Xie! I want them dead!"

Fatty Wang looked at Wu Xie with a serious expression, a fierce glint in his eyes, and let out a low, angry growl that only a few people could hear.

"Fatty, what happened? Come in and tell me!"

Seeing that Wang Pangzi was in a bad mood, and worried that it wouldn't be good to talk outside, Wu Xie quickly led his men into the room.

The two of them, along with Wang Meng, strode into the room, leaving Qin Henian and the other two outside looking at each other.

"You blind bastard, what's going on here? How could this happen?!"

Qin Henian had already calculated the ins and outs of the matter with the slightest movement of his fingers. He discovered that Yun Cai, the girl that Wang Pangzi liked, was kidnapped by a group of people last night when someone went to stay at her place. She was accompanied by her father, A Gui.

No wonder Fatty Wang was so emotionally volatile. Qin Henian knew from his calculations that this was done by Wu Sanxing's remaining gang members. Some of them had inquired about Wu Xie's situation during this period and probably realized that their people were not easy to deal with, so they deliberately kidnapped Yun Cai and her father.

"Even a blind man wouldn't have expected these people to be so shameless! It's one thing to act like they're old and powerful, but when they can't beat someone, they resort to dirty tricks!"

Hei Xiazi hadn't expected these idiots to play like this! He didn't do it on purpose.
