Tomb Raiders: She Comes from the Ancient Martial Arts World

Chapter 97 What do you want? [Bonus Chapter for Gift]

The Wang family has been watching Ling Yue for so long, so of course they know what kind of weapon she usually uses.

To Wang Cen's surprise, Ling Yue didn't hand over any weapons when he entered the room.

Upon entering, the passageway, which had been urgently converted into a powerful magnet, showed no reaction whatsoever.

She really didn't bring any weapons with her today?!

On the contrary, Li Cu, who came in with them, was immediately sucked to the wall and stuck to it, unable to move, as soon as he stepped into the passage because of the metal parts on his body, such as his cell phone, dagger, and belt.

Seeing this, Ling Yue looked down at his belt.

His eyebrows furrowed, and he muttered, "It's fake."

This belt is the only thing Ling Yue owns that she bought herself.

She hadn't originally planned to buy a new belt, because Wu Xie had already prepared a change of clothes for her.

But the boss said it was made with some kind of high-tech belt that could withstand a weight of 1,000 kilograms without breaking.

The metal belt buckle is even more amazing; it uses aerospace-grade metal materials that will absolutely not deform.

Ling Yue touched it and confirmed that it was not ordinary metal.

Who knew it wasn't metal at all?

Merchants in this world are truly cunning!

With Wang Can's silent help, Li Cu finally managed to tear herself off the wall. Hearing her muttering, she couldn't help but ask, "What's fake?"

Ling Yue pointed to his belt buckle: "The boss said it was made of aerospace metal, but even a magnet can't attract it."

I don't know if it was a sudden thought, but Li Cu said, "Even a magnet can't attract a space rocket, right?"

Ling Yue looked thoughtful.

Wang Cen, who had overheard everything, was speechless.

Are all young people these days mentally ill?

It's unclear whether Ling Yue was convinced by Li Cu's explanation or not, but stopped worrying about whether the belt buckle was real or not. He led Li Cu through the passage and then through another room before finally seeing Mr. Wang again.

Even after doing such a thing, Mr. Wang's smile remained gentle.

He stood up, gestured towards a device next to him, and said to Ling Yue, "This device, I'm sure Li Cu is very familiar with, is a lie detector. Please cooperate, Miss Ling."

Ling Yue wasn't offended. Instead, as he sat down, he asked, "Why didn't you measure my proportions?"

Mr. Wang raised his hand to adjust his glasses, smiled, and didn't answer. Instead, he watched as Wang Cen helped Ling Yue put on the equipment.

Ling Yue's overly complicated relationship only made Mr. Wang more and more confused.

Even though she didn't show any threat from beginning to end, why does something still feel off?

After adjusting the instrument, Wang Cen returned to the computer next to him, typed a few words on the keyboard, and then nodded to Mr. Wang.

Li Cu watched the two of them warily from the side, looking like he was about to bite them if they made any other move.

Wang Can kicked him from behind, and Li Cu turned around and glared at him.

In response to Ling Yue's inquiry, Wang Cen replied on her behalf: "Miss Ling hasn't made a decision yet. The proportion is for the Wang family, and now is not the time."

Li Cu felt something was off, but he hadn't been with the Wang family for very long and didn't know enough about it.

But Wang Can's eyes flickered, and his brows furrowed slightly involuntarily.

After putting on the lie detector, Ling Yue felt quite novel about it. Before Mr. Wang and Wang Cen could ask any questions, he started playing around with it, saying, "This isn't the Wang family's place."

The instrument emitted a sharp warning sound, indicating that the person was lying.

Ling Yue was surprised and said, "Mr. Wang is a spy from the Nine Gates."

The instrument still gave the feedback that he was lying.

Hearing her words, Mr. Wang said helplessly, "Miss Ling, you said you are not interested in us or the Nine Gates, but only in the Bronze Gate."

Ling Yue nodded: "So, it can also detect whether something is real or fake?"

Mr. Wang looked at the lie detector, but the instrument did not give any indication that he was lying.

It seems this is true.

Mr. Wang then asked, "Would you like to join our Wang family?"

Ling Yue thought for a moment: "If you're willing to give me what I want."

The lie detector did not sound.

It seems that Ling Yue truly has no intention of helping Wu Xie and the Nine Gates.

"Can you tell me how you found this place? And does anyone else know about this place?" Mr. Wang finally asked the question he was concerned about.

Ling Yue turned to look at Wang Can: "Didn't Wang Can tell you guys? I haven't thought about telling anyone else yet."

The lie detector is working properly.

Mr. Wang, Wang Cen, and even Li Cu all turned their gazes toward Wang Can.

Wang Can felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze and frowned, saying, "When I was infiltrating the Chen family and was arrested, I don't know how she recognized me."

Suddenly remembering something, Wang Can abruptly raised his eyes, his scrutinizing gaze fixed on Ling Yue: "Was it that night?"

So, it's very likely that she followed him that night and found where he was staying?

Did she hear the whole conversation he had with another member of the Wang family that evening?

Ling Yue ignored his doubts once again, and turned to Mr. Wang, asking directly, "Mr. Wang, I have shown you enough sincerity. Isn't it your turn now?"

They already possessed mysterious and unpredictable tracking methods, knowing the location of their base, but had not exposed it. Today, when they stepped into the Wang family's residence, they did not bring their usual weapons...

She was even willing to join the Wang family, provided that the conditions were met.

They certainly showed a lot of sincerity.

Mr. Wang paced around the area a few times with his hands behind his back, then gave Wang Can a look.

Wang Can lowered his head and grabbed Li Cu, forcibly dragging him out amidst Li Cu's shouts.

Once Li Cu's shouts had faded from view, Mr. Wang turned to Ling Yue and solemnly asked, "What exactly do you want?"

Ling Yue sat up straight, staring intently into his eyes. "What exactly is inside the bronze door?"

…………

On another hill not far from the Wang family's base.

Hei Xiazi squatted on the ground and asked Wu Xie, who was observing the Wang family base across the street with binoculars, "Hey, Third Master, do you really believe that Ling Yue won't betray us?"

Before Wu Xie could speak, Wang Meng, who was standing next to him, said, "How could that be! The landlady is clearly on our side."

Black Bear sneered, "Hey young man, you're calling her 'boss lady' a bit too early, aren't you?"

Wang Meng secretly glanced at the boss's expression. Seeing that Wu Xie didn't object, she became defiant again: "Anyway, it's the same whether we call him sooner or later."

Just then, Hei Xiazi's phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Xie Yuchen calling.

Black Bear stopped teasing the young man and answered the phone: "Hello? Flower, where are you?"

Xie Yuchen didn't answer, but asked instead, "Is Wuxie with you?"

Hei Xiazi said "Wait a minute," stood up, handed the phone to Wu Xie, and muttered to himself as he turned around, "Call my number, look for Wu Xie, heh!"

Are they really treating a blind person like a switchboard operator?

Zhang Rishan glanced at him coldly, noticing that this adjutant Zhang seemed to have a problem with him. Hei Xiazi's eyes lit up and he immediately understood why.

He chuckled and lazily leaned over to hook his arm around Zhang Rishan's shoulder: "Hey, Lieutenant Zhang, I heard you moved out of the Crescent Hotel? Tell me, what happened? Didn't Buddha tell you to keep a close watch on the Crescent Hotel?"

Zhang Rishan didn't even bother with him. He shrugged his shoulders to shake the man off and then patted him on the shoulder.

It looked as if the bear had tainted it with something dirty.

The feeling of disgust is beyond words.

Wu Xie and Xie Yuchen exchanged only a few words before Wu Xie hung up the phone and handed it back to Hei Xiazi.

Zhang Rishan then spoke up: "Isn't it too risky to send Ling Yue in to distract the Wang family?"

Wu Xie was also a little worried, but he still chose to believe Ling Yue: "I believe her."

Since she said it was okay, then there's no problem.

Moreover, Wu Xie vaguely sensed that Ling Yue's decision to enter the Wang family alone ahead of time was not simply to attract the Wang family's attention, but rather for another purpose.

Or, even if he disagrees or doesn't need it, Ling Yue will still find an opportunity to go in early.

Being willing to inform him in advance and cooperate with his arrangements for Li Cu was already another form of compromise from Ling Yue.
