Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 723 A Real Man!

The newcomer, right in front of Hu Ming and the blind man, sat down opposite them as if they were old friends, picked up the food on the table and stuffed it into his mouth, and also opened a can of beer and chugdled it down.

"Cool!"

"We've been marching all day, eating nothing but compressed biscuits. Finally, we're getting some real food."

"Speaking of which, Hu Ming, you seem to be doing quite well in this godforsaken place, don't you?"

The person who came crushed the beer bottle, tossed it aside, and breathed on it.

"Who's this overly familiar grandson? Do you know him? Want me to take care of him for you?"

The blind man drew his black and gold dagger with a grim expression.

The only people in the world who can show off in front of Master Hei are Hu Ming and Xiao Ge, and the man in front of him is clearly not one of them.

"...No respect for elders! Call him brother-in-law! Is this how your sister always taught you?"

Hu Ming's face hardened.

"Come on, my sister isn't here, brother-in-law!"

The man said no, Jiang Zisuan scoffed dismissively, but seeing the golden sand eagle that suddenly appeared in front of Hu Ming, he immediately backed down.

A real man should admit defeat when necessary.

It's not shameful to think of your sister!
"Hu Ming's brother-in-law? And he's not even called an uncle by marriage?!"

The blind man narrowed his eyes behind his sunglasses, a wicked thought forming in his mind. He also put on a serious face and looked at Jiang Zisuan.

Hu Ming: ???
Jiang Zi Suan: ???
"Uncle-in-law? You...you still have a father or a master? Isn't it Er Yuehong who's already dead?"

Jiang Zisuan seemed somewhat bewildered.

Although this guy wearing sunglasses and acting all high and mighty late at night looked to be only in his twenties or thirties, with the examples of Hu Ming and Zhang Qiling right in front of him, he was a little unsure.

"That's right, I am his father!"

The blind man grinned and laughed heartily.

"Wait a moment, I need to take care of some family matters. My son is a bit immature, please don't take it to heart."

Hu Ming smiled politely at Jiang Zisuan, then grabbed the blind man's collar and led him into the room.

At the same time, a bronze-patterned black sword gleaming with a cold light appeared in Hu Ming's hand.

Today, it's time to clean house. This unfilial son has no reason to continue living.

Hu Ming thought to himself.

Jiang is even more confused now. So, who is whose father?
After ten minutes of crackling and popping...

A refreshed Hu Ming was followed by a dejected, bruised, and swollen blind man.

Hu Ming excels at persuading people with reason!
"Damn it, don't you know you shouldn't hit someone in the face?"

The blind man grabbed a can of beer and chugged it down, complaining resentfully.

"It's perfectly natural for a father to hit his son. So what if he slaps me in the face? You think you can defy your father and hit me?"

"Alright, start your performance... I mean, tell me what you're here for, brother-in-law."

Hu Ming gestured to Jiang Zishuo.

"You must know this guy surnamed Jiao quite well, right? Just a couple of days ago, you two brazenly took something very valuable from his house, didn't you?"

"To be precise, it's a whole backpack full of treasures!"

Hu Ming added. Jiang Zisuan was shocked. "So, you're still feeling proud of being a thief?"
"In short, my team and I were hired by Mr. Jiao to come here at a tenfold commission, a price I couldn't refuse."

Shaking his head, Jiang Zisuan didn't want to waste time on such trivial matters and got straight to the point.

"It's not that I can't refuse, it's that I simply don't want to refuse, okay? You've been trying to kill me for more than just a day or two."

Hu Ming scoffed.

"That's right, ten years ago, you threatened my brother many times. Don't think that just because you're my brother-in-law, I can selectively forget about it."

Jiang Zisuan readily admitted it.

"I have a question. Before hiring you, didn't you know you were Hu Ming's brother-in-law?"

The blind man raised his hand to speak.

"He doesn't know, but even if he did, he probably wouldn't care. Mercenaries are just a bunch of mad dogs; they'll do anything for money. If the money's right, they'll kill their own parents, let alone just a brother-in-law?"

"In the world of international mercenaries, I am undoubtedly the top sniper, and my team is the best team!"

Jiang Zisuan shrugged.

Let's just say this is top-tier.

After all, it's unfair to compare a talented and hard-working player like Jiang Zisuan with someone like Hu Ming who seems to have cheat codes.

"Back when he was still working at Qiu Dekao's company, even the people in his company didn't know about Aning's younger brother, let alone anyone else."

"Although the Jiao family has considerable connections, it's unrealistic to find out the relationship between Jiang Zisuan and A Ning in such a short time."

"So, you came here just to challenge me? Aren't you afraid your sister will beat you to death?"

Hu Ming casually explained a few things to the blind man, then changed the subject and looked at Jiang Zisuan with a mocking expression.

"In all these years, since you, this bastard, came into our lives, when has she ever cared about her own brother?"

"Friendship is friendship, and we don't show any emotion. Relationship is relationship, and business is business. I'm only reminding you in advance because you're my brother-in-law, to prevent you from dying without knowing why."

"But brother-in-law, I won't hold back at all after this! Even if my sister blames me for the rest of her life."

"Given the chance, I wouldn't mind putting a bullet into your heart."

"That's it, let's go. The agreed time is almost here. If we delay any longer, that guy surnamed Jiao will become suspicious."

After grumbling about her sister with a hint of resentment, Jiang Zisuan turned and left with a flourish.

"So, your brother-in-law is the arrogant type?"

"You say you won't show any mercy, but haven't you already revealed too much information to us, directly and indirectly? Is that guy surnamed Jiao already nearby?"

"Did they follow Wu Erbai here?"

The blind man watched Jiang Zisuan disappear into the night and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

"He just cares too much about his older sister, with whom he has relied on each other since childhood and made a living together. Without Aning, he would have died young. He might go crazy if his sister is even slightly unhappy. In short, don't worry about him."

"Even if I put my head right in front of his gun, he won't shoot. Yeah, you're right, you could call yourself a proud and arrogant mole."

Hu Ming toyed with the golden desert eagle and said calmly.

"That guy surnamed Jiao is so pitiful..."

The blind man sincerely mourned for Boss Jiao for three seconds, and then...
"Go to sleep, go to sleep. It'll probably be hard to get a proper rest in the days to come!"

The blind man patted his behind and went back to his room to rest.

Hu Ming, however, showed no intention of resting. He simply stared blankly at his phone, which was off, waiting for a message…
