Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 715 Boss Jiao's Speechlessness (Banned Chapter)

Watched by a group of mercenaries with complicated expressions, Hu Ming and his companion drove off laden with their loot.

As for why it was said to be a fruitful return, it's because Hu Ming had an extra backpack full of things to carry when he left.

"..."

Back in his room, Jiao looked at the shelves where several of his collections were clearly missing, and for a moment he was speechless.

The missing items were the most precious things in Boss Jiao's collection.

Those are items that money can't buy, and very few people dare to even make a purchase!
Those are all bronze artifacts!
Bronze wine vessels from the Han Dynasty, the Warring States period, and even the Zhou Dynasty!!!

Without exception, these items are treasures that are one in a million!
"It's alright, it's alright. Once everything goes smoothly, I'll take those things back sooner or later!"

"What's mine will always be mine!"

Pressing his hand against his heart, Boss Jiao took a deep breath to comfort himself, trying to suppress the heartache.

"Wu Erbai's side, they have found the location of the South Sea King's underground palace. According to their speculation, it is located underground in a mudflat along the coast of Pingxia."

"Wu Erbai also sent me some intelligence he had gathered, which, combined with the patterns on these bronze ears..."

"It's here! The legendary Thunder City is definitely connected to this place. Once we get there, we're sure to find some clues!"

In a shabby hotel double room, the blind man sat cross-legged on the bed.

A laptop was placed on his lap. He compared the information on the screen with the information he had brought with him. Finally, he took out a map and drew a circle in a certain area based on the patterns on the bronze ears.

After the blind man finished doing all this, it was already dark outside.

This busy period lasted for an entire day.

In front of Hu Ming, the blind man didn't hold back and took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of eyes with a completely different color from those of ordinary people.

He rubbed his temples wearily, and his bluish-green eyes gave off a chilling feeling.

"Damn it, sleep your ass off, Hu Ming! I've been organizing data all day, and you've been sleeping all day?"

Looking back at Hu Ming, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, humming a tune, the blind man instantly felt unbalanced and almost couldn't resist lunging at Hu Ming to take him down with him.

"if not?"

"You could handle all of this by yourself. Besides, I did do some work too..."

"This place is a lawless little city. I've put a lot of effort into everything from food and drinks to ensuring you're not disturbed while you work, okay?"

Taking off his Bluetooth headphones, Hu Ming stood up, stretched, and revealed his dragon-like eyes, saying lazily.

"...Is what you're thinking worth this kind of damn stuff?"

The blind man's lips twitched as he pointed to several blurry human-shaped shadows standing silently in the corner of the room.

It has to be said, Hu Ming's ability is truly overpowered. "After we leave, there'll probably be ghost stories around here, right?"

With a sigh, the blind man mourned for the residents of the area.

This place was a chaotic, lawless region with no rules whatsoever. It was divided among various local warlords and was in utter chaos.

Now, add the ghostly presence...

啧!
"Why worry about them? As long as you're not disturbed while you're working, that's good enough."

"Alright, I've rested for a day and I'm full of energy. I don't want to stay here anymore. Let's set off tonight. You can catch up on your sleep in the car."

He stood up, dispelling the dragon's eyes and the shadows. Amidst the swirling mist, Hu Ming picked up the long and short swords that were placed to the side, tossing the short sword to the blind man.

“That works too! Wu Erbai’s progress is also very fast. They should be finished by noon tomorrow. Then I’ll tell them to head straight to their destination. We’ll go and scout ahead first.”

After quickly packing his luggage and putting some things into his personal storage space, Hu Ming twirled his car keys between his fingers.

"Okay, let's set off now. This place isn't too far from here. If we leave now, we should arrive around noon tomorrow!"

After a few seconds of contemplation, the blind man nodded in agreement. It was just that he hadn't rested well, and it was nothing serious.

If needed, given their robust physique, they could maintain their energy for three days and three nights without sleep.

As we left this remote village, the night was filled with flickering lights, accompanied by the occasional gunshots hidden in the darkness.

"So, socialism is better, and our country is better! It's really hard to imagine how ordinary people in this godforsaken place survive..."

Looking back at the village, the blind man caught a faint smell of gunpowder and sighed.

If it weren't for Hu Ming's series of bizarre methods that intimidated the village's armed personnel, their departure would have been quite a hassle.

"So, the grass is always greener on the other side... Aside from those who genuinely need it, I really can't understand those who blindly pursue foreign products."

Even in the US

Hu Ming paused for a moment.

"Happy American citizens, chaos every day!" *2
Hu Ming freed his right hand and gave a high five to the blind man in the back seat.

The more extraordinary things I've experienced, the more I realize just how precious the stable environment in China truly is.

The safe environment in China is something many foreigners yearn for!
One irrefutable piece of evidence is that, with societal development, the number of immigrants from abroad is increasing every year.

"Actually, it's not entirely incomprehensible. It's like a besieged city, isn't it? Those inside the walls envy the freedom outside, while those outside envy the stability and harmony inside..."

After thinking for a moment, Hu Ming added another sentence.

The laser headlights tore through the night, and guided by the map, we drove towards a remote area hidden deep in the mountains.

It is worth mentioning that when Hu Ming and the blind man were heading there, about a week earlier, a brother and sister, carrying some equipment, had already arrived at their destination by following some clues.
