Tomb raiding: Trying to become a little painter

It was 11 p.m., eight hours after Wu Xie went into the operating room. Finally, after waiting for Qin Henian and the others, the red light on the operating room sign turned green, and Wu Xie was wheeled out of the operating room by doctors and nurses. He had IVs, tubes, and a respirator, and his shoulder was bandaged. He was moved into a private room while still half asleep.

After confirming that Wu Xie was safe, Wu Erbai left the hospital and immediately made a phone call. His gaze was cold as he stared at a certain spot, and he ordered his men to give those rats hiding in the shadows a good beating.

Inside the hospital ward.

Seeing Wu Xie lying on the hospital bed, pale-faced and with colorless lips, everyone in the ward fell silent. Especially after seeing the deep knife wound on Wu Xie's left arm, everyone frowned, lost in their own thoughts.

"This matter absolutely cannot be left like this. Those Wang family members hiding in the shadows are truly despicable! I don't have many brothers who would risk their lives for me, and today... today I almost lost one of them. I really can't swallow this insult!"

"Brother, Henian, Hua'er Ye!!! All of you, tell me what we should do now!"

"I have to get revenge no matter what! At the very least, I'll let myself go crazy!"

Unable to bear the oppressive atmosphere, Fatty Wang wiped his face and spoke first.

While everyone at the hospital waited for Wu Xie to wake up, back at the Wu family mansion, Wu Erbai sat in a wobbly recliner in the living room, holding several sheets of paper with many names and addresses listed...

Staring at the paper, Erjing, who was standing next to Wu Erbai, spoke up.

"Second Master, the cleanup operation I ordered has begun. Three of our Wu family's middle-level members have been replaced, and there are quite a few at the bottom. Some of them are still being checked!"

"Those who were identified have been locked up in our own mental hospital in Hangzhou, and we still haven't gotten any useful information from the subsequent interrogations!"

After listening to Erjing's report, Wu Erbai pursed his lips, his eyes deep, and his fingers tapped on the armrest of the recliner... as if he was thinking about something.

It's no wonder the Wang family won't give you any useful information! They're a bunch of brainwashed bastards; you might as well do the research yourself.

"Since we can't get any information out of them, let's stick to the old rules!"

The usual procedure was to deal with the person. Erjing had done this many times before. He nodded to Wu Erbai and turned to leave.

Two hours later, in the other ward, Wu Xie slowly woke up, and several people in the ward came forward.

"Wu Xie, you've been reckless this time!"

Xie Yuchen waited for Wu Xie to wake up at the hospital. After Wu Xie regained consciousness, Xie Yuchen went up to him and said these words directly.

"I'm so sorry, Xiaohua! I... I didn't expect those people to be so crazy. I've learned my lesson this time, and I won't do it again."

Wu Xie didn't dare to raise his head when his childhood friend reprimanded him. Hearing the cold voice, he began to admit his mistake on his own initiative.

For some reason, Wu Xie felt that he was someone who wouldn't dare to act recklessly in front of Xiao Hua.

"Hopefully!"

"By the way, during the few hours of your surgery, your Wu family arrested a lot of their subordinates. Uncle Wu also sent me some information that is related to several people in the Xie family. I also think I discovered a plan by Huo Youxue of the Huo family, which is also related to tomb raiding. I think it is necessary to tell you about it, Wu Xie!"

Xie Yuchen is a CEO and is usually quite busy. He has already spent a lot of time coming to see Wu Xie today. Before that, those old people in the Xie family were still causing him trouble. So now he speaks to Wu Xie in a businesslike manner.

"The Huo family is going to go tomb raiding? Wasn't Xiuxiu just sent abroad not long ago? What's going on??"

Wu Xie's mind worked quickly, and he immediately asked back.

"Wu Xie! The Huo family now is not the same Huo family it was when Grandma Huo was alive!"

"A new broom sweeps clean, and the battle for the Huo family's heir continues. The members of the first, second, and third branches of the Huo family are no pushovers!"

"This tomb raiding trip was also based on information I received from the grandchildren of the third branch of the Huo family. They said that the elders of the Huo family set a test condition so that the position of family head would fall into the hands of their own grandchildren! The winner would inherit the position of Huo family head!"

"The Huo family's assessment this time involves a large Yuan Dynasty tomb in a desert no-man's-land! However, the Huo family has three members leading the team. The key point is that these three will likely be gathering followers on the streets during this period!"

Xie Yuchen revealed everything he had investigated and reminded Wu Xie of the Huo family's plan to recruit people.

Everyone knows that the Huo family is in real turmoil right now, and there are many people who want to get involved and get a share of the pie. This period is also the best time for some rats hiding in the shadows to come out.

"When is it? Xiaohua, tell me the specific time!"

Wu Xie wanted to know more about everyone in the Nine Gates, and was also considering whether he could possibly gain any benefit from this matter.

However, he recognized all the faces on this side, so it might be difficult to go in directly... As he was thinking, Wu Xie suddenly turned his head to look at Zhang Qilin, his gaze intense.

"Hey bro! Can you teach me how to make a human skin mask?"

"And Master, you have to teach me how to imitate, as well as the common knowledge and skills of tombs... Oh right, and mechanisms... Yes, yes, yes, that has to be taught by Brother!"

"Sigh, isn't there anything that can be learned quickly?"

As Wu Xie was calculating aloud and refining his plan in his mind, he suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder and tilted his head...

"He Nian?"

Wu Xiaogou was puzzled.

"Wu Xie! Have you forgotten that you're still wounded!"

"With your current physical condition, you probably have no chance. Don't think about it too much! If you really want to get involved, give me a list of information you need to gather, and I'll take some people with me!"

Seeing that Wu Xie was still arguing and complaining even in this state, Qin Henian had an idea and decided to personally intervene and use a "lure the snake out of its hole" tactic!

"You go!"

"You go!"

"... "

Everyone was surprised when they heard that Qin Henian was going to take on this task.

After all, no one expected Qin Henian to say that.

"Wow! I'm going!"

Qin Henian nodded, his face full of sincerity.

"If Henian is going, the blind man should come along too. Anyway, my unlucky apprentice is quite badly injured right now, so it's a good opportunity for the blind man and Henian to go have some fun together!"

When Hei Xiazi heard that Qin Henian was going to go into the tomb, he quickly followed up, thinking that this was a good opportunity to leave Dumb Zhang behind and have some alone time with Henian!

"Hey hey hey... wait, He Nian can't go, and neither can Blind Man, Little Brother, and Flower Master! It's better if Fatty and Da Pan go instead, don't forget that there are still people watching us in the shadows!"

After listening to this large amount of information, Fatty Wang digested it for a moment, and then vetoed everyone present who still wanted to struggle and discuss it. He made the decision directly with his loud voice!

Finally, after much persuasion, they managed to get several powerful figures to take care of their innocent child. This also gave Wu Xie a full-body training in three aspects after he was over-nourished by the energy herbs!
