Tomb raiding: Trying to become a little painter

"Are you from the Wang family, Henian?"

After listening to Qin Henian's account and the information contained in his words, Wu Xie tilted his head and looked at him, asking a question in return.

"Um"

"He's a member of the Wang family, and a man of considerable status. If we can catch him this time, great; if not, we can't let him go back!"

Qin Henian nodded in affirmation, his eyes filled with a profound meaning when he mentioned the Wang family.

The days passed by in a mix of training and slacking off, with Qin Henian and his group sometimes training and sometimes just relaxing. Then, one afternoon a few days later, Zhang Qilin and Hei Xiazi both received invitations from Huo Youxue, the female heir of the Huo family after Huo Xiuxiu was sent abroad.

One million eight hundred thousand per trip! That's just for the round trip, plus a share of the loot from the tomb! I have to say, Huo Youxue's business acumen is truly remarkable…

"Fatty! How's the equipment you and Panzi prepared coming along?"

After receiving the message, Hei Xiazi entered the villa's living room, looked towards the kitchen where a delicious aroma was wafting from, and asked.

The food sizzled and popped as it hit the pan, splattering oil. In the smoky kitchen, Fatty Wang was holding a pan in one hand and a spatula in the other!

Ever since Wang Pangzi's shop in Beijing was put under the supervision of people sent by He Nian from his family, his bank account has been receiving deposits every month, and he doesn't even need to be present in person; he only needs to check once or twice a year. It's clear that Wang Pangzi has now taken over the logistics work for Wu Xie and his team. Before Hei Xiazi could even think for two seconds before Wang Pangzi raised his voice and spoke.

"Everything's ready! You can trust Fatty to do things right. Now all that's missing is the human skin mask that Little Brother made. When the time comes, any one of us can just change our faces and clothes and blend into the Huo family's ranks, no problem!"

"Sigh! I don't know if it's a good idea or not, but Fatty Wang and Blind Man, I advise you to lose some weight these few days, otherwise you'll be the one most likely to be exposed!"

After listening to Wang Pangzi's explanation of all the preparations, Hei Xiazi thought about his own preparations, and with He Nian and the mute, hmm... it shouldn't be a problem! He then started teasing Wang Pangzi, and casually walked to the kitchen doorway, his eyes scanning up and down...

It was hard for Fatty Wang not to know what Black Bear was thinking, and the next moment he shouted angrily, his face turning red.

"What are you looking at!"

"This body of fat that I've built up has saved me countless times! You wouldn't even get it if you wanted it!"

"Besides, Fatty and Innocent are a well-known trio in the underworld. The three of us can contact Flower Master and find a legitimate reason to sneak in! I think Comrade Innocent will probably send your cheap master to be an undercover agent!"

Wang Pangzi's impassioned insights, without his knowledge, happened to hit the nail on the head regarding Wu Xie's plans.

On a rainy day, the sky was shrouded in gray clouds, as if a giant lid had been placed over the earth. The sun seemed to be hidden behind thick curtains, making the whole world appear gloomy. Raindrops fell incessantly, making a soft pattering sound against the window, as if telling a story of sorrow.

In the narrow alleyways at the corners of the streets, a group of people dressed in uniform gray overalls were moving back and forth in an orderly fashion, carrying boxes of supplies from several large trucks parked in the alley.

Snapped!

Suddenly, I felt a tap on my shoulder. My long, high ponytail swept across my arm, and a large, freckled face turned to look curiously behind me…

"Bro? What's up?"

A rough, hoarse voice rang out, and a pair of bright, sparkling eyes blinked as they looked at the person.

"A big shot from the underworld has arrived over there. I heard that Team Leader Huo paid a high price to bring him over. A lot of people have gone to see him. Do you want to go, brother?"

A tall man with somewhat foreign-looking features grinned, showing off his big white teeth, and pointed to a group of people gathered to the side.

"What's the point of going? We're just doing odd jobs for 300 yuan a day. These masters do all sorts of risky work. Even if I went to watch, I wouldn't be able to learn their skills!"

Qin Henian rolled his eyes at Hei Xiazi, who was wearing a human skin mask and had just arrived, and said that he was about to start jumping around. He also subtly told him to behave himself.

“Tsk tsk….”

"I just wanted to watch the excitement, Brother Qin, you're so boring!"

Relying on the fact that no one recognized him, Hei Xiazi gradually let loose, carrying things and following behind Qin Henian. The two of them, each wearing a human skin mask, blended in very well with Huo's men...

"roll!"

On the other side, a brand-new black Santana sedan was already parked in front of the Huo family's headquarters. The Iron Triangle, each wearing sunglasses and black suits, strode out of the car with great swagger.

The waiter who had been waiting for a while stepped forward and led the way. After turning seven or eight corners, Wu Xie and his two companions finally stood in front of a large restaurant at the end of the street.

"Brother Wu Xie! You're here! Brother Xiao Hua is already waiting for us inside. Come with me!"

Huo Youxue had received the news earlier and went to the door to greet Wu Xie and the others. When she saw them walking towards the shop entrance, she quickly greeted them.

"Okay!"

"I never imagined that Xue would grow into such a beautiful young lady with a face as fair as jade, eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes as clear as autumn water, and a smile that could launch a thousand ships! I remember you were a chubby little girl when you were little!"

Wu Xie stepped forward first, walking to Huo Youxue's side, followed by Wang Pangzi and Zhang Qilin. As the saying goes, meeting someone often sparks a connection, and Wu Xie immediately showered Huo Youxue with compliments.

I still remember the little girl sitting on a small stool, eating steamed buns, hiding behind the adults and watching a group of children running and jumping in the yard...

"Pfft!"

"Brother Wu Xie, you're so good with words! It's been so many years, and you still know how to please girls! Xue is so grateful for your compliment, Brother Wu Xie!"

Huo Youxue, dressed in a black suit, led the way, guiding people into the inner hall, past several staircases, and into the courtyard.

The scene of people moving things back and forth came into Wu Xie's view. On the surface, Wu Xie continued to chat with Huo Youxue, but his eyes wandered over the faces of all kinds of people in the courtyard, observing them without making a sound.

I want to see which of these people are members of the Wang family, and which are Pan Zihe and his group.

"Wu Xie! It's snowing!"

A dozen meters away, Xie Yuchen, wearing a pink shirt and a white vest, had only been there a short time and had been arranged to rest in the back room. It wasn't until Wu Xie arrived that he turned around and greeted him loudly with a smile.

"Little flower!"

Wu Xie was also very helpful. When he heard someone call his name, he started searching for the location. When he saw that familiar figure lying on a rocking chair in the open back room, he grinned happily and quickened his pace to go forward.
