Tomb raiding: Trying to become a little painter

Time flies. Five days have passed since Qin Henian fell into a coma for the second time. During these five days, Wu Xie and the others took Qin Henian back to Beijing. As soon as they arrived in Beijing, Xie Yuchen sent him to the hospital owned by the Xie family. A dozen or twenty doctors, both well-known and unknown, examined Qin Henian.

The conclusion was that the person was fine and had good bodily functions, but for some unknown reason, had fallen into a deep coma and needed to rest until they woke up.

During the days that Qin Henian was in a coma, Xie Yuchen was busy with the Xie family's affairs, and the three iron triangle of Wu Xie, Wang Pangzi, and Zhang Qilin met again in Beijing with the person who had previously wanted to acquire Yangshi Lei.

After probing and discovering that the person had a boss behind him, Wu Xie insisted on meeting the big boss behind the person. After the person made several excuses, he finally revealed some information.

Instruct Wu Xie and his group to meet someone at a new auction that will be held at the Crescent Hotel a few days from now.

The trio of Wu Xie and his companions made progress. At the hospital, Hei Xiazi had been staying in the ward with the unconscious Qin Henian for five days, watching over him as he received IV fluids. He wanted to change his clothes and clean his body, but his first attempt failed because he discovered that the person on the bed had a thin layer of light blue-purple down covering his chest, shoulders, and back. This forced him to temporarily abandon his plan to clean his body.

Because Hei Xiazi remembered that Dumb Zhang had told him that He Nian seemed to have some special reaction to water.

After five days of unconsciousness, around 3:30 a.m. on the sixth night, Qin Henian's eyelashes trembled and he slowly opened his eyes.

The moment Qin Henian opened his eyes, all he wanted to do was curse! His throbbing temples and headache were due to his fear and resistance to water. He had mentally prepared himself and felt that he was fine, but fainting again was a slap in the face to Qin Henian!

Qin Henian lay on the bed and silently made a decision for himself: he would never go to any place with water deeper than 1.5 meters again, and even if he did go, he would avoid it and maintain a deep sense of distance from water.

"He Nian, you're finally awake! How are you feeling? Is anything bothering you? Should I call a doctor?"

"You have no idea how heartbroken I was when I saw you lying there with your eyes closed, not waking up. He Nian really broke my heart this time, sob sob sob~"

Black Bear's once handsome face had grown stubble in just a few days, making him look extremely gloomy. His entire aura had been radiating an aura of "don't mess with me" for the past few days. Only when he saw the person he had been watching over on the hospital bed for several days wake up did he dispel his gloomy aura.

"Feel sorry!"

"I thought I was all better, but I didn't expect to faint again and shut down my consciousness. I'm sorry to have worried you all."

"Blind man, have you been watching over me for a long time? I've been unconscious for days?"

After seeing Hei Xiazi's condition, Qin Henian apologized first, then secretly glanced at Hei Xiazi's current appearance. Seeing that the other party's face was a bit thin and he didn't look very good, he roughly guessed that this guy must have been guarding him here all along.

Ugh...

Black Bear sighed inwardly.

"Five days!"

"Five whole days. Five days have passed since you were brought back from Banna."

As Hei Xiazi answered Qin Henian's question, a bitter feeling welled up in his heart as he recalled the unconscious man he had seen in Banna that day.

"What about Little Qilin and Fatty? How are they?"

Qin Henian then spoke, recalling the two people he had thrown out.

"They're fine! They're in great spirits! The two of them went straight to work after coming back from Banna with Wu Xieyi, and they're very lively!"

Seeing the worried look on Qin Henian's face, Hei Xiazi felt a tightness in his chest. While answering questions, he also tried to sow discord between Dumb Zhang and Fatty Wang in front of Qin Henian!

They're so lively and energetic!

They didn't even know to come see you! They've all been out having a good time!

"Are they that busy? Where are they now?"

Qin Henian was curious. Beijing wasn't Hangzhou, so what were Wu Xie and the others busy with? Could it be about that incident with the Yangshi Lei seller?

Sure enough, the next second Hei Xiazi gave an answer that was both expected and unreasonable.

"They should be at the New Moon Hotel right now!"

Crescent Hotel!

Qin Henian's heart skipped a beat.

If he remembered correctly, Xiao Tiandao had mentioned to him before that entering the Zhang Family Ancient Tomb was a very troublesome matter, and that a key item called "Ghost Seal" would be needed.

The Ghost Seal was also acquired by Wu Xie and his group through sheer luck at an auction, and the responsibility for their good fortune was only 260 million.

"Now?"

"Blind man! Take me to the auction at the Crescent Hotel!"

Ignoring the fact that his physical functions had just recovered, Qin Henian grabbed the tag on his right hand with his left hand, pulled out the needle, got up, and pounced on Hei Xiazi, who was sitting by the bed.

On the other side, the Crescent Hotel.

The three members of the Crescent Moon Hotel stood at the entrance of this magnificent, solemn, and grand hotel, looking at the four doormen standing guard at the door. They exchanged glances.

They sized each other up, checking whether each brother's suit fit properly and whether his shoes were shiny enough. Wu Xie and Fatty Wang were quite satisfied, while Zhang Qilin, who was not one to talk much, seemed a little awkward.

"The three of us have finally arrived at the Crescent Hotel. Fatty's butt is numb from sitting in the car for so long!"

As soon as Wang Pangzi got out of the taxi, he straightened his clothes and, pulling Wu Xie and Zhang Qilin along, rushed into the New Moon Hotel.

The three of them were stopped by several doormen as soon as they rushed to the gate, leaving Wu Xie bewildered.

"Dear guests, you are not allowed to enter here. If you wish to enter, please present your VIP card or have your credentials verified!"

"Our Crescent Hotel has a very high level of secrecy. You can enter the Crescent Hotel as long as you pass one of these two conditions that I have specified."

At this moment, there were three doormen at the entrance of the Crescent Hotel. The three of them looked at each other and then one of the doormen, who seemed the more shrewd, spoke first to the three of them.

"VIP?"

"I do not have it!"

Is there any other way?

Wu Xie felt bitter as he listened to the words of the three gatekeepers.

He's not a VIP at the Crescent Hotel at all! And what about that verification of funds? Wu Xie felt a sharp pain in his heart!

He's a penniless wretch, where would he get the money for verification of funds...?

Just as Wu Xie was still thinking about whether he should try to pool his money with his buddies to see if it would work, a slender, long finger held a black card in front of him. Wu Xie glanced at it impatiently, and then his eyes were filled with astonishment.

Whose card is this?! Can anyone tell him what's going on...?
