Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 3 Big Gold Teeth

Hu Bayi nodded when he heard Hu Ming's words, then frowned after thinking for a moment and said, "But where are we going to look for him? Fatty has been looking for him for several days and hasn't seen a trace of that big gold tooth."

Hu Ming nodded upon hearing this. Hu Bayi was right. Unfortunately, Hu Ming had been in this world for over twenty years and had long forgotten some of the less important plot points.

Hu Ming then said, "Old Hu, let's not rush. We're going to stay in Beijing for a while anyway, and we'll catch this bastard someday."

Hu Bayi nodded upon hearing this and said, "That's true."

Fatty Wang then said, "Let's not think about these things for now, let's go eat at a restaurant."

Upon hearing this, Hu Ming immediately agreed, saying, "Yes, let's go eat now, I'm really hungry."

When Hu Bayi heard Hu Ming say he was hungry, he also felt a little hungry, so he said to Fatty, "Fatty, ride faster."

Upon hearing this, the fat man smiled and said, "Alright, gentlemen."

In the end, after Fatty settled Hu Bayi and Hu Ming's luggage, they went to a hot pot restaurant. They chose a good spot near the window.

Upon seeing the prices of the food, Hu Bayi exclaimed in surprise, "Holy crap! I'm telling you, look how expensive this place is! Our demobilization pay isn't enough for even a few meals here!"

Hu Ming replied unsurprised, "Eat up, this is the price in the capital."

"Let's go out for a bit and see if there's any business we could do that suits us," Hu Ming said, placing a case of beer on the table.

"Okay," said Lao Hu, glancing at the menu before preparing to order.

At that moment, the fat man, who was setting out the bowls and chopsticks, turned around and spotted Big Gold Tooth.

At that moment, Big Gold Tooth was holding his jade pendant and was asking a foreigner for three thousand.

"Mingzi!" "Old Hu!" "That's Big Gold Tooth! Damn it, Big Gold Tooth, I'm going to crack your skull open today!" With that, the fat man immediately grabbed a beer bottle next to him and was about to rush over.

Upon seeing this, Hu Ming immediately stopped Fatty, then glanced at Old Hu and said, "Old Hu, let's go take a look."

"Okay!" After saying that, the group came to Big Gold Tooth's side, one in front and one behind, and sat down around him with stools.

At this moment, Big Gold Tooth also realized something was wrong, so he first sent the foreigner away, and then, seeing that Hu Bayi and the other two were a little flustered, he pretended to be calm and said to Hu Ming and the others, "What do you want to do?"

Hu Ming simply smiled at him without saying anything. Big Gold Tooth glanced at Fatty Wang next to Hu Ming and said, "The rule in the antique business is that once you buy something, you don't sell it. Paying some tuition fees is normal."

Upon hearing this, Hu Ming took out three hundred yuan and placed it on the table. Hu Ming smiled and said to Big Gold Tooth, "My brother doesn't want to sell this jade anymore. It's his family heirloom. I'm easy to talk to. Don't give me the jade; I'll give you back these three hundred yuan."

Big Gold Tooth said, "What if I disagree?"

Hu Ming laughed and said, "The three of us brothers might not be able to let you walk out." Then Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang behind him rubbed their fists.

Big Gold Tooth panicked when he saw this and said to Hu Ming and the others, "Believe it or not, I'll call the police to arrest you right now."

Hu Ming said calmly, "I believe you, but when the police arrive, I don't know if you'll be standing here intact. Although I know you, Big Gold Tooth, have connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles, I guarantee I'll knock your gold tooth out and break three of your legs before you call your men, believe it or not."

After Hu Ming finished speaking, he looked at Da Jinya with a particularly dangerous gaze, and his unique aura made Da Jinya dare not breathe.

Big Gold Tooth was now feeling uneasy, thinking to himself: Who exactly is this person? How can his aura be so terrifying? And being stared at by him feels like being stared at by a ferocious beast.

Seeing this, Big Gold Tooth had no choice but to say, "Fine, three against one, I can't beat you. However, although I, Big Gold Tooth, am not convinced, I admit defeat today, I accept my loss." With that, Big Gold Tooth placed the jade pendant on the table, picked up the three hundred yuan, immediately turned around and left the mutton restaurant.

"Hehe, not bad, Mingzi!" The fat man took back his jade pendant and began to admire it. "Damn it, this is worth three thousand yuan! How many years would I have to work to earn that much!"

Hu Ming smiled as he looked at the money-grubbing Fatty Wang.

Hu Ming knew that back in 1980, the best annual salary was at most a thousand yuan, and that was at most.

Three thousand yuan is indeed enough to make the fat guy work fewer years.
