Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 708 Envy, Jealousy, and Hatred!
It was late at night, and Yin Nanfeng had been watching TV in the living room for most of the night, waiting for Hu Ming to return.

Yin Nanfeng naturally had full confidence in Hu Ming, but what Yin Nanfeng was pursuing was that kind of...

Yes, it's just that feeling of satisfaction mixed with a slight dissatisfaction and resentment that a married woman feels when she lazily waits for her husband to come home at night.

Stretching and yawning wearily, Yin Nanfeng turned off the TV and glanced at his watch.

Great, it's 5 a.m., a new day is about to begin, and it's clear that Hu Ming probably won't be coming back tonight.

Rolling her eyes at the air, Yin Nanfeng prepared to go upstairs to sleep.

Just then, the sound of the door opening rang out.

"Uncle Ming, you're finally back! If you hadn't come back, I would have thought you were out with that slutty bitch late at night..."

Yin Nanfeng's eyes lit up, and he grabbed his coat and hurried out.

"Zhang Qiling is one thing, but why did these three come back with us? When did our place become an inn that anyone can come to?"

Yin Nanfeng's face darkened instantly when he saw the three people behind Hu Ming chuckling and greeting him.

Clearly, since they brought all three of them back, they were definitely staying overnight. No, they were catching up on sleep. Just thinking about it made Yin Nanfeng a little annoyed.

What happened to the promised cozy little home for just the two of them? Zhang Qiling is already homeless, and now he has three more eyesores to deal with?
That's outrageous!
"Hey. What do you mean by 'only'? Yin Nanfeng, it's only because you're related to my uncle, otherwise, I'd show you why flowers are so red!"

The fat man glared at him and said bluntly.

He's been bullied by this woman a lot lately because of her seniority!

"Alright, alright, you've been up all night, calm down, take a hot shower, get a good night's sleep, and get some rest. Also..."

"Hongxia, Shengshengman, you know the house is a bit messy. Nanfeng and I aren't the type to put furniture in our hands. Let's rest first, and we can tidy up tomorrow when we wake up."

"Nanfeng, as you can see, I could have come back earlier, but I turned back to the airport to pick them up."

Hu Ming pointed outside the door, and two familiar, slender figures appeared.

"."

Yin Nanfeng had a toothache: "Why did you two come along too?!"

What happened to our promised precious leisure time just the two of us?
"My original role was to be the Second Master's personal maid. In short, it was the same as how you were treated in 'Sheng Sheng Man'."

"It's just that in the last few years, Second Master has become a hands-off manager. I have no choice but to handle some things for him, so there's no need to be surprised to see me here."

"Wherever Second Master is, I will be there. That's what I should do."

Hong Xia gave a cool smile, seemingly knowing what Yin Nanfeng was thinking.

"As for me, Miss, you didn't answer your phone and we lost contact with you. Your family knew you were going to quit again... After discussing it with the Hong family, they decided to have me and Hong Xia come over together."

"Just like what Second Master said, when it comes to furniture and household items... you two really aren't up to the task."

Sheng Sheng Man smiled reservedly, not minding revealing her master's shortcomings in front of others.

The word "again" is very clever.

"That's the situation. Hongxia, Shengshengman, you two go and rest with Nanfeng first. We still have some loose ends to take care of..." Hu Ming shrugged, indicating that that was the gist of the matter.

On his way back, Hu Ming received a call from Hong Xia, so he had no choice but to go to the airport instead.

This back-and-forth trip took quite a bit of time.

"Hey, can I take a shower first? Damn, I still stink!"

As Wu Xie and Fatty carried him away, the blind man let out a cry of resentment.

"This is it. After I bought this villa, I hired a private construction team that specializes in building secret rooms to develop this underground secret room."

"As for confidentiality, there's absolutely no problem..."

In the basement, Hu Ming closed the door, turned on the lights, and walked around the secret room while waving his hand.

As Hu Ming walked, rows of chime bells were neatly arranged in the spacious, enclosed room.

A short while later, Hu Ming released the last bronze bell.

"Tsk! You know what, these things are too valuable. If you sell them, they'll be a hot potato. But if you display them at home and appreciate them yourself, they have a unique charm."

Finally, Hu Ming sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and looked at this rare collection with great satisfaction.

"It's not even in my house, so what's the point of us admiring it!"

Wu Xie rolled his eyes, his heart burning with jealousy.

Their home was inconvenient in many ways, so only Hu Ming had the means to collect such a great treasure.

"Uncle Ming, I opened this thing on the way back. Inside were some fragments, fragments of a complete mural!"

Wu Xie took out a clean tube from behind him and poured out the fragments filled with historical significance.

"Ah, I'm not interested in this stuff. However, if you're interested in the content here, I can introduce you to a professional..."

Hu Ming yawned, his interest waning.

That being said, it's been a long time since I've stayed up all night, and suddenly working through the night like this is really hard to handle.

"Professional?"

"Yes, his research interests are incredibly diverse. He knows a little bit about everything and is exceptionally proficient in all of them. He's a genius. But his main profession is still a doctor, a proper medical school graduate."

"Well, she's a bit rebellious and unconventional. Remember not to judge a book by its cover; that girl is very sensitive to people's eyes."

Hu Ming thought about it and wondered if it was just a coincidence, since the girl Xiao Hua had recruited in recent years seemed to be in Hangzhou at this time?
The girl was incredibly professional at piecing together fragmented murals and even tracing their origins based on the slightest clues.

In Hangzhou, at this point in time, it's really hard to find someone more professional than her.

"That's good. I trust the person you've chosen, Uncle Ming. So, that's the basic situation. Now we just need to get ready and set off..."

Wu Xie breathed a sigh of relief. He wasn't afraid of people having strange personalities; he was afraid of not being able to find anyone who could handle this thing.
