Tomb Raiders: She Comes from the Ancient Martial Arts World

Chapter 68 The Second-Class Merit Award for Walking

With Huo Xiuxiu's powerful entrance and Xie Yuchen's personal USB drive as proof, and with Wang Pangzi's support, she barely managed to become Baosheng's new CEO.

The moment Xie Yuchen's personal USB drive was revealed, it caused a stir among everyone present.

This is a specially made USB drive, corresponding to the bank's database system, and cannot be copied. There is only one in the world.

With it, one can not only freely access the priceless antiques stored by the Xie family around the world, but also mobilize and monopolize the Xie family's business.

Previously, the Huo, Li, Qi, and Chen families were eyeing Xie Jiabaosheng's business, but now that the private USB drive has surfaced, their attention has immediately turned to Huo Xiuxiu and the USB drive in her hand.

While the group was engaged in a heated debate, Ling Yue noticed that Xie Yuchen, who was disguised as a waiter, had quietly left.

Before leaving, he glanced back at us.

Ling Yue thought that perhaps he wanted to take another look at his childhood sweetheart.

However, Huo Xiuxiu was still dealing with the difficulties caused by Huo Youxue and others, and was unable to cooperate with him in time for a heartfelt exchange of glances like that of childhood sweethearts.

It just so happens that I, an idle person who takes advantage of the chaos, am in the right place at the right time.

Without exchanging any words, they turned away indifferently, like strangers.

Ling Yue was curious about what he was trying to do by risking his life to appear at the funeral.

He also seemed to be holding a notebook in his hand.

So, did they come here to take notes and hold grudges?

Or perhaps we should rehearse who gives the most and who gives the least at our own funeral?

The above was just Ling Yue's idle grumbling. She shrugged her shoulders, her gaze lingering in the direction where Xie Yuchen had been standing, before finally settling on the surveillance camera slowly rotating under the eaves.

Thousands of miles away in Motuo, Wu Xie, who was watching the funeral scene through a surveillance camera, suddenly felt a pang of fear as his eyes met Ling Yue's.

However, before his heart could race and he could discern whether he was happy or sad, Ling Yue in the picture shifted his gaze and looked elsewhere.

She seems to be doing quite well.

Wu Xie sighed, suppressing the surging emotions in his heart, and flipped his phone face down on the center console.

Just one glance at her through the screen felt like an invisible tug at his insides, making his heart and stomach feel increasingly uncomfortable.

His body was telling him that he longed to see her.

Wu Xie closed his eyes, briefly cleared his mind, and leaned back in his chair to slowly adjust his breathing.

Wang Meng, sitting in the passenger seat, asked curiously, "Boss, aren't you going to watch it?"

Wu Xie shook his head, his voice somewhat weary: "As long as we know the result, that's enough. Now, we have to race against time."

Wang Meng also wanted to say that he would record the surveillance footage so that his boss could watch it on the snowy mountain to pass the time, since there was no internet up there.

However, Wu Xie had already composed himself, opened his eyes, restarted the car, gripped the steering wheel with both hands, and stared straight ahead, seemingly very focused, yet also somewhat lost in thought.

Looking at the snow-capped mountains that were already faintly visible in the distance, Wu Xie's mind was filled with a multitude of tangled thoughts.

Amidst the melancholy, a subtle expectation, hidden beneath the thick snow, also arose.

Like a firefly hiding in the grass and soil on a cold winter night, it is destined to receive no response from its companions because it was born in the wrong season, yet it still chooses to flash its light.

Like a flickering star in a desolate desert night, without firewood, it is destined to perish, yet it still cannot help but burn and perish.

After the collaboration ends and she learns of his situation, will she choose to travel to the snow-capped mountains to bring him home?

As Huo Xiuxiu stepped out of the Xie family's gate, she was unsurprisingly blocked by a large group of people from the Huo, Qi, Chen, and Li families.

Fatty Wang is incredibly cunning. With just a string of fake explosives, he managed to scare the group so badly they couldn't dodge in time.

During this time, the Tibetan man in blue robes, Dan, also made a move and incidentally took a member of the Wang family who had been lurking in Chen's possession for many years.

Because Fatty Wang's acting was so realistic, Huo Xiuxiu didn't realize that the explosives were fake until she got on the bus.

"In a society governed by the rule of law, we can't do anything illegal or criminal!" Fatty Wang said righteously and confidently, as if Dan's kidnapping of someone just now wasn't something he had hinted at.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Ling Yue, who had been slacking off the whole time, suddenly couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Although the matter was quickly brought up, Fatty Wang kept a close eye on his surroundings and, even while busy driving away, didn't forget to crack a joke: "Look how happy my sister Yue is! It's clear she's just like me, a law-abiding citizen!"

Huo Xiuxiu's eyes nearly popped out of her head, and Dan couldn't help but grin.

After all, with just a few of them, they would at least deserve a second-class merit award.

To associate yourself with a law-abiding citizen? That's just a scam to extort money from the moon landing!

Upon hearing the word again, Ling Yue couldn't help but laugh and add, "Boss Wang truly is Wu Xie's good brother; they even have the same definition of themselves."

Upon hearing Ling Yue mention Wu Xie's name, Huo Xiuxiu's smile froze, and she slowly stopped smiling, seemingly disliking Wu Xie.

Ling Yue had naturally heard about the feud between Huo Xiuxiu and Wu Xie from Fatty Wang.

Ling Yue neither confirmed nor denied this.

Unless he has ulterior motives, Ling Yue is not a considerate or thoughtful person when dealing with outsiders.

Noticing Huo Xiuxiu's obvious emotional change, Ling Yue still spoke of Wu Xie with great interest: "I heard from Grandma Wu before that Li Cu looks a lot like Wu Xie when he was young. Do they really look alike?"

Fatty Wang gave an awkward laugh, glancing at Huo Xiuxiu's expression several times in the rearview mirror, but he couldn't ignore Ling Yue's words.

This is the closest Little Fairy has ever been to finding a partner in her middle age!

Fatty Wang, who inexplicably harbors a motherly heart towards his two best friends, Xiao Ge and Wu Xie, is determined not to hold his youngest son back!

So Fatty Wang could only say dryly, "Oh? Really? I've seen that kid before, but I haven't had much contact with him, so I didn't recognize him. But since Grandma Wu said so, he must really look like him!"

Ling Yue's conversation naturally shifted to Wu Xie's friendships, and as an outsider invited by Wu Xie, the blue-robed Tibetan Dan was naturally included in this topic.

Although Fatty Wang didn't say much, he still caught off guard by the superficial information.

Unsurprisingly, Ling Yue also learned about the existence of the Kambalo people.

Dan seemed to have his interest in talking more, and while pressing down the Wang family members he had taken from him, he said, "We had an agreement with the Wang family, but they broke their promise. They are despicable and should be punished!"

Dan didn't say more, but his hatred for the Wang family was obvious.

If it weren't for the fact that the unconscious member of the Wang family in the car had other uses, Dan would probably have already slit his throat.

Before long, the Wang family, who had come to rescue the person as expected, caught up with them in their car.

Once again, Fatty Wang managed to escape the Wang family's pursuit without serious injury by using a bundle of fake explosives. He eventually arrived at a secluded detached villa that looked like it had been abandoned for some time.

"Alright, let's rest here for a bit!" Fatty Wang slammed the car door shut, opened the door first, and led the group into the house.

They all knew that the Wang family would catch up with them soon.

They need some time to get something done.
