Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 711 You chickened out?

"..."

This was the third day since Hu Ming returned from A Tou's place. He sat in the passenger seat, looking at the blind man whistling and driving with a lifeless expression.

"Although I have no interest in that underground palace in the South China Sea that has already been explored, since all the fun and valuable things have already been taken."

"But that doesn't mean I'm interested in being a thief, damn it! Especially a thief that both sides know the truth about?"

Hu Ming covered his face and sighed.

This morning, we were supposed to leave for the South China Sea as planned, but before Wu Xie and Fatty could even get there, that blind guy was already blocking Hu Ming's doorstep!
If Hongxia and Shengshengman hadn't woken Hu Ming up, he would never have imagined that the blind man would actually do something like blocking dogs!
"Hey, you said it yourself, that's a dungeon that's been visited before, what's the point of going there? You'd be better off coming with me!"

"With you here, your nephew's safety is absolutely guaranteed. Why not take this opportunity to experience a different kind of life?"

"See this guy surnamed Jiao? He made his fortune early on and settled abroad. He's very interested in listening to thunder, and he's also a typical idealist."

"He frequently makes public statements claiming that there is a metaphysical 'divine will' in this world, and that thunder is the only way for mortals to communicate with it and hear the will of heaven!"

The blind man chuckled, nonchalantly pulled a tablet from the glove box, and, without even glancing ahead, turned on a video and handed it to Hu Ming while driving with one hand.

The image above shows a flamboyant man with a ponytail giving a speech.

At that moment, a video was playing on Jiao, who was mysteriously pointing to the sky, looking just like a charlatan.

Believe it or not, this approach is quite popular in Western countries where Christianity is the dominant religion.

Of course, in Hu Ming's view, most of the audience members below probably automatically interpreted Jiao's "divine will" as God.

It makes perfect sense to hear God's will through the sound of thunder.

In the West, although materialists are the vast majority, belief in God is also a common phenomenon in Western countries.

"Oh."

However, Hu Ming merely glanced at it and responded expressionlessly.

It seems like...I have absolutely no interest.

In fact, that's exactly what happened.

Hu Ming is no longer interested in these ridiculous and absurd things.

"Speaking of which, blind man, are you chickening out?"

Hu Ming straightened the steering wheel to avoid colliding with an oncoming truck that was honking its horn wildly, and asked curiously, tilting his head.

"Coward? What nonsense are you spouting!"

"How can being a professional tomb raider be called cowardly? That's called being cautious!"

"Besides, what kind of monsters and demons haven't we seen in our line of work? You think I'm afraid of you, Blackie? That's ridiculous!"

The blind man instantly understood Hu Ming's meaning, pinched his nose somewhat guiltily, and straightened his gaze.

"...Just say you're scared. If I hadn't found that crucial thing in Yang Daguang's house, I would have been a bit scared."

"After all, an unkillable enemy is too overpowered, and anyone would feel uneasy about it. But don't worry, that person is definitely not in the South Sea King's underground palace."

"After all, that's the tomb of that person's 'slave.' Would the master be so tasteless?"

Hu Ming chuckled and casually explained, "Really?"

The blind man, having made up his mind, tentatively asked.

"Nonsense. For example, even if you love your cat very much and get it a luxurious grave, would you choose to be buried in a cat grave with your cat?"

"Won't!"

"That solves it!?"

Hu Ming spread his hands and said, "Anyway, we're already here. Damn it, this really is one of the major curses of our China... Let's get this sorted out as soon as possible."

"I bet your second uncle deliberately leaked the information to this guy surnamed Jiao a long time ago. Wu Sansheng and Wu Erbai are working together to set this up..."

After shifting to a more comfortable position, Hu Ming added softly.

"Ah... I can probably guess. Stealing? Probably taking it right under someone's nose, without any hesitation?"

"But... I'm more than twice Wu Erbai's age, and you still call me my second uncle?"

The blind man nodded in agreement.

"Ha, a man who bows down for 30,000 yuan, you don't deserve to be my friend! Friendship over!"

"That's fine then. I'm going to take a nap. Wake me up if you didn't get any sleep last night."

Hu Ming chuckled coldly, yawned, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

"Men, you know, have to work hard to earn money to support their families during the day, and then they get relentlessly exploited at night. They're completely drained."

"So what's the point? I figured it out a hundred years ago: being single is the best!"

The blind man glanced at Hu Ming's barely noticeable dark circles and gave a sly chuckle.

"Every man who swears to be single has a bloody and tearful history about women, except for this guy, who is an exception."

Hu Ming's voice, seemingly murmuring, drifted over with his eyes closed.

The blind man's face darkened; there was no way to continue the conversation!
Yes, everyone has a beloved girl. Even a scoundrel like Wu Sansheng had a girl he would never forget, let alone a blind man.
"Sigh...the past is too painful to recall!"

The blind man sighed slightly, floored the accelerator, ignored the speeding warning on the navigation map, and revved the car to 180 km/h within half a minute.

The white mid-size SUV sped along the highway like lightning, constantly changing lanes and overtaking other vehicles, startling many of the drivers who were overtaken, who broke out in a cold sweat and cursed loudly.

Recently, according to "intelligence," the pair of bronze ears that Hu Ming, the blind man, was targeting were in his mansion in a Southeast Asian city.

Two and a half days later, Hu Ming and the blind man successfully crossed the border and arrived at their target city.

In the suburbs, the two casually tossed their expensive SUV aside by the roadside, leaned against the car, smoked, and gazed at the silhouette of a mansion shrouded in mist in the distant mountains.

"Well, although we're not professional thieves, we should love what we do. Let's take a break and get back to work tonight. After all, the dark and windy is the perfect time to get things done."

Putting down the binoculars, Hu Ming thought for a moment and said.

"Sure, it's just a formality anyway. Whatever makes you happy."

The blind man replied indifferently.
