Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 665 The Real Situation of Shen Qiong!
"Speaking of which, Li Chu is a must, but given your personality, you hate having burdens the most, so why did you bring her along?"

"I remember seeing her information. Wasn't she Zhang Yueshan's woman? How come...?"

"You eloped with her? You stole Zhang Yueshan's girl? Be careful, Zhang Yueshan might come after you!"

While eating fresh fruit and food with gusto, Hei Xiazi adjusted his sunglasses and looked at Hu Ming with a somewhat strange expression.

"She is of the Wang family bloodline and has a phoenix tattoo on her back. Although she has lived away from home since she was a child and has no connection with the Wang family."

Wu Xie rolled his eyes, took a sip of water to eat.

To be honest, if Wu Xie hadn't known about this beforehand, he would have suspected that Hu Ming had suddenly fallen for a married woman and had simply stolen Zhang Yueshan's girlfriend.

"She is indeed of the Wang family bloodline, but her tattoos are completely different from the Wang family's kind of totem seals that resemble symbols of belonging."

"Her tattoo... was tampered with shortly after she was born, after her parents died outside."

Hu Ming glanced at the silent Liang Wan, knowing that she had learned some of the truth through Zhang Rishan's intentional or unintentional revelations.

For example, Hu Ming and the others were dealing with the Wang family, and they also understood that her coming here was definitely at Zhang Yueshan's secret request.

This made her somewhat sad.

In her man's eyes, the affairs of the Nine Gates were indeed more important than her.

"Someone sabotaged it? Who would go to such lengths to scheme against a poor little girl who lost her parents at a young age?"

Wu Xie and Hei Xiazi's expressions turned serious. They put down the food in their hands, their eyes burning with intensity, as they keenly sensed something different.

"He is a Kambalo person."

Hu Ming said calmly.

"Kambaluo people. Damn it! Besides those amazing treasures, what other secrets are hidden in the ancient city of Tongjing?"

"The Wang family came for the snake, we came to purge the enemy, to purge the Nine Gates, so what exactly are the Kangbaluo people here for?"

Wu Xie raised an eyelid and gasped.

He suddenly realized that things in Gutongjing were not as simple as he had thought.

Thinking about it carefully, he specifically sought out the blue-robed man from the Kambalo tribe to help him. Damn, didn't he just invite a wolf into the house?
Thinking of this, Wu Xie broke out in a cold sweat. His plan was meticulously planned, and if the man in blue robes had other ideas, it would be a fatal variable!
"It's not that the Kambalo people have any ideas, but rather that there are traitors among them..."

"Don't worry, I'll keep Liang Wan by my side. There won't be any accidents. Besides, that guy won't affect your plans at all."

"You need to understand, with the Zhang family gone, the Wang family has no reason to exist for the people of Kangbaluo anymore, especially at this crucial juncture..."

"The Kambalo ethnic group is already struggling to survive."

Hu Ming glanced at the bewildered Liang Wan, shook his head, and explained calmly.

"That's good….."

Wu Xie and the blind man exchanged a glance, both feeling relieved.

The Kambalo people are too ancient and too mysterious!
According to some fragmented information, the Kangbaluo people, who have been worshipping the Bronze Gate for generations, existed even earlier than the Zhang family!
"Are you two done talking? Shouldn't you tell me about my situation?"

"Hu Ming, Wu Xie, isn't it about time you confessed to me? For example, where my father went, and the truth about Shen Qiong!"

Li Chu couldn't understand any of their nonsense. At this moment, all Li Chu cared about were those few people.

"You impatient brat. I'll be blunt then. Your father is still alive. I sent Wang Meng out to protect him."

“According to our usual practice, traitors, especially those who are no longer of use, must die. But for your sake, I protected your father from the enemy.” “As for Shen Qiong…”

Wu Xie glanced at the anxious Li Chu, thought for a moment, and then spoke frankly.

"Shen Qiong, let me tell you a fact. Shen Qiong does exist, and she is the daughter of Uncle Shen, a good friend of your father. But there's one thing..."

"Shen Qiong died long before you were born in the last century. He died deep in this desert, in an accident, from the bite of a black-haired snake!"

"Secondly, the Shen Qiong you've known since childhood was sent by our enemy to your Uncle Shen to monitor and control his existence."

Hu Ming explained calmly.

"Then the dismembered remains I received, those bodies, including Shen Qiong's, were all staff members from the ancient city of Gutongjing back then?"

Li Chu's face turned pale instantly. Anyone would feel bad if they suddenly discovered that their childhood friend was just a fake person.

"Hmm, you're right, that's the harsh reality."

The usually carefree Black Bear shrugged, wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth, and casually said.

"...Then why did you insist on bringing me here? What exactly do you want me to do here?"

Taking a deep breath, Li Chu closed his eyes and resignedly said.

"Because our plan has been very successful, now everyone thinks you are important, and everyone will follow in your footsteps to come here."

"All we have to do is wipe out all the enemies in one fell swoop."

"So what you need to do is very simple: stay here for three days. Originally, I also needed you to use your important identity to infiltrate my enemies and find their hidden headquarters."

But now….

Wu Xie chuckled lightly, his expression cold and serious as he spoke of his plan, then turned his gaze to Hu Ming.

"Because of Su Nan, many troublesome plans can be avoided. You don't think I'm letting her off the hook just because Su Nan is a woman, do you?"

"Although I admit she is a mature and sexy woman, quite charming."

"Su Nan already knows about the 'express train' to Gutongjing, so that shop owner has no reason to live."

"Furthermore, I left some small items on Su Nan, making it incredibly easy to find the enemy's headquarters!"

Seeing Li Chu's look of "Aren't you that kind of person?", Hu Ming scoffed and explained.

"It has to be said that Su Nan is quite vigilant; she probably guessed that I had tampered with her."

"He wandered around aimlessly for several days, trying to distract me and find any tracking devices on my body."

"But there are some things that I don't want her to find out, and she'll never find out."

Under the firelight, Hu Ming's eyes had become dragon eyes, and a wisp of condensed white smoke lingered on Hu Ming's index finger.

"Then there's no problem. This way, Li Chu will be less in danger. To be honest, I quite like this brat. This is good. Thanks to you, Uncle Ming."

"All the preliminary preparations are complete; now it's time to close the net."

"Let's go. It's still quite cold in the desert at night, but this place offers some insulation."

Wu Xie nodded, a relaxed smile on his face, and jumped down first through the hole from which the tentacles of the nine-headed cypress emerged.
