Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 726 You're only finding out now?

Besides the two mercenaries who were always by his side and whom he could completely trust, Boss Jiao only brought Hosa and his group this time.

A rough analysis reveals that while Boss Jiao's entourage is loyal and devoted, their actual capabilities...

Is it roughly the time when someone has just escaped the ranks of a newbie?
In any case, compared to Hosa's internationally renowned team, they are simply the least impressive.

Boss Jiao was well aware of this, knowing that his men were simply incapable of posing a non-human threat to Hu Ming, Zhang Qiling, and the Blind Man.

That's why he spared no expense and pulled a lot of strings to hire Hosa and his group, and placed high hopes on them.

Ultimately, no matter how powerful Hu Ming, the blind man, is, he is still just a flesh-and-blood human being, and a single bullet can send him to his death.

The prerequisite is that the firearms must be able to hit Hu Ming and his group.

"Hosha, Hosha! Where the hell have you been?!"

"I paid you so much money, not for you to watch a show. Where are your men? Time to get to work! Hu Ming, Zhang Qiling, and that blind bastard who was shooting from the shadows—kill them all!"

Perhaps because of the blood smeared on his face, Boss Jiao's eyes were red, and he looked extremely ferocious.

"...Alright, let's get to work!"

Amidst the knowing winks and smirks from his subordinates, Huo Sha sighed and said in the team's public chat: "We've made our move. Brothers, you should understand. These bastards have told you everything, right?"

Finally, Hosa added somewhat listlessly, "This operation will probably ruin our team's reputation completely."

"We're not going to have an easy time for the foreseeable future... I'm sorry."

Hosha's statement was not without merit.

In the mercenary business, the most important thing is trust.

The law can't regulate this industry at all. What if all mercenaries are the same, taking the money and killing their clients? Only a fool would pay to hire mercenaries!
In other words, if Horsa had accepted Boss Jiao's offer of employment but then turned against him at the last minute, it would be fatal for the team.

For a long time, Hosa's team was caught in endless troubles, with the lack of business being the least of their worries.

However.…

Contrary to the atmosphere of frustration, excitement, and discontent that Hosa had imagined, his band members had a rather peculiar experience.

"For Azeroth, for my sister!!!"

A chorus of angry roars came from the walkie-talkie, nearly deafening Hossa.

Hosa's team is completely different from other mercenary groups; it's not just a simple alliance of interests, but more like a... big family!
"For the tribe."

Just as Hosha was feeling a warm glow in his heart and was about to burst into tears, the Caucasian beside him suddenly said something like this…

"..."

“I suggest that next time we put Caucasians up in trees. I remember when I was in school, this was a popular activity.”

After a brief silence, a Chinese man quietly uttered a malicious thought.

"Agreed, completely agreed!"

"We will not release the Caucasians until the tree trunk is worn bare."

This suggestion was met with unanimous approval. "Damn it, Hosha, don't overthink it. When you hesitated to accept this mission, we already guessed what you would do."

"It's just that we couldn't make it in this industry over the years. You've led us to not only make a name for ourselves, but also made us incredibly wealthy."

"It just so happens that after so many years of risking our lives, everyone is tired, and this is indeed a good opportunity to retire."

The Caucasian hurled a few harsh words on the public channel, then turned off his walkie-talkie, lit a cigar, and patted Hosa on the shoulder to comfort him.

"To be honest, I'm getting old and I've felt like I can't keep going for a while. I met a beautiful girl in my hometown, and after I finish this job, I'm going back to get married."

To ease Jiang Zisuan's sense of indebtedness, the Caucasians shamelessly uttered the most terrifying flag in the world.

“Caucasian, you should stay in the rear for this operation... If you die, Aning will kill me.”

Hu Ming, like a ghost, silently approached the two and happened to overhear the Caucasian's words.

"I will remember your kindness and that of your brother-in-law. Although the situation is not so bad that you need to do this, I am very touched."

"If your guys are willing, I have a way to help them clear their names in China and live a stable and peaceful life for the rest of their lives."

Hu Ming glanced sideways at Boss Jiao, whose expression was constantly changing, and thought for a moment before speaking.

That's the truth. Compared to Hu Ming's enemies, Boss Jiao isn't even a threat; he's just a grasshopper trying to stop a car by overestimating his own strength.
……

With absolute individual combat power, absolute team overwhelming strength, and the fact that Horsa knew almost everything about Boss Jiao's plans, this unequal war was simply not going to be won by Boss Jiao at all.

In just half an hour, to the astonishment of Wu Erbai, Wu Xie, Fatty, and the others, the situation suddenly changed. The arrogant Boss Jiao, who had just been so arrogant, became a prisoner in the blink of an eye.

My meticulously styled ponytail was cut off by some disapproving person...

Boss Jiao was tied up and his hair was disheveled. His previously meticulously groomed appearance was no different from that of a beggar on the street.

Jiao, who already had some mental issues, suffered a major setback and squandered his good fortune, turning him almost into a complete madman, roaring in despair.

Hu Ming had no interest in this person whatsoever. He merely glanced at Erjing and Liu Sang without leaving a trace before paying no further attention.

"So, didn't I tell you to stay inside and not come out?"

Hu Ming arrived at the village entrance, and under the villagers' wary gazes, he put away his golden twin pistols to show that he meant no harm. He then pulled a person out of the bushes.

She is a mute girl.

A mute girl secretly slipped away here, clutching a kitchen knife.

"...We are friends, and I'm worried that Mr. Qi might encounter some misfortune."

Having witnessed everything, the mute girl finally felt relieved, dropped the kitchen knife in her hand, and gestured with her hands.

"Hey, this is unbelievable! You're actually worried about my safety? So I'm not a third wheel after all?"

Beside them, the blind man carrying a gun walked out of the house and let out an exaggerated, strange cry.

The mute girl, being mute after all, had a straightforward personality. Far from being shy in this situation, she turned around confidently and gestured to the blind man:
"Yeah, you're the third wheel! You just realized that? You blind fool!"

The three men, Xiao Ge, Wu Xie, and Fatty, who had just finished dealing with some trivial matters, stopped in their tracks upon seeing this scene. They exchanged glances and revealed expressions of "I knew it."

Although they didn't understand the meaning of the mute girl's gestures, they understood the atmosphere!
