Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 727 A Filial Son Produced Through Spare the Hand!
"Wu Tianzhen, I heard your tastes are unbelievably extreme. You went down into an underground palace and hooked up with a leather puppet lady from over two thousand years ago?"

"Where is she? Please come out so I can see her. I'm your elder, after all. It's not too much to ask that you meet your niece-in-law, is it?"

Hu Ming could tell from the few people who had gathered around that these scoundrels definitely had bad intentions, so he decisively changed the subject.

"...No need to guess, it must be that blind bastard spreading rumors about me, right?"

"What hookup? Let me tell you, Uncle Ming, that leather puppet is a bit eerie. It's clearly hollow inside, but it somehow ended up in my bed in the middle of the night. Can you believe it?"

"I was so scared I almost peed my pants!"

Wu Xie's lips twitched, and he also tried to change the subject from this annoying topic.

"You have no manners! I'm your master, you know that?"

The blind man glared and said with dissatisfaction.

"I'll give you 30,000 yuan, and you'll call me dad."

Wu Xie chuckled dismissively.

"Okay, boss, cash or online transfer? I also support POS machines. As long as the money is in place, you can do it whenever you need it."

Amidst the mute girl's incredulous expression and the others' knowing looks, the blind man laughed like a chrysanthemum.

"Hey, blind guy, wanna make some extra cash? I'll give you 300,000, how about you call me grandpa?"

The fat man chuckled wickedly; everyone knew Sima Zhao's intentions.

"...Should we beat him up first?"

"No problem, that fatso is just asking for it!"

Wu Xie and the blind man instantly reached an agreement, their gazes towards the fat man extremely dangerous.

"Your friends are all so...so..."

The mute girl tugged at Hu Ming's sleeve, drawing his attention back, and expressed her conflicted feelings with a hesitant gesture.

"I get what you mean, you're all such idiots, right?"

"It's my fault as a father that my sons are such idiots. I'm so ashamed!"

A sincere expression of shame appeared on Hu Ming's face.

"Damn it."

The young man silently took a step back, a slight smile playing on his lips, which vanished in an instant, giving the agitated group room to start a brawl.

Between men, there's no such thing as true friendship. Aren't they all about loving fathers and filial sons?
No matter how rebellious or unfilial they are, they are still his sons. Although Hu Ming felt heartbroken for his sons' insubordination, he was determined not to be soft-hearted when it was time to punish them.

As the old saying goes, "Spare the rod and spoil the child!"
"Blind man, come here for a moment, I have some questions to ask you."

Wu Erbai walked over from the side, watching the group playfully bickering with a smile, and waved to the blind man.

"Alright, coming right now, Second Uncle!"

The blind man's expression changed, and he followed Wu Erbai like a sycophant.

"She really is a despicable person!"

Everyone simultaneously raised their middle fingers at the blind man's retreating figure.

"He calls Wu's second uncle by his full name every day behind his back, but when they meet, he acts all familiar and affectionate towards him?"

The fat man spat disdainfully at the blind man's retreating figure.

"You're a slut too!"

The men promptly turned their guns around.

The fat guy called him "Second Uncle" quite a few times!
"You don't know anything! This is called treating customers like royalty, with a gentle and welcoming attitude! That's the wisdom of business!"

The blind man turned around and argued indignantly.

"hehe!"

"That's all, that's all..." The group chuckled expressionlessly and went about their business.

Having just experienced a fierce battle, dealing with the corpses, cleaning up the battlefield, and negotiating with the frightened villagers are all troublesome tasks; they're in for a busy time.

"Why are you still following me? Why don't you go find your brother? At least let him know you're safe and sound."

Hu Ming looked at the mute girl following closely behind him and said with a headache.

"I sent him home early this morning, before you even woke up. He's just getting in the way; it's better for him to go back to work!"

The mute girl gestured confidently.

"Absolutely amazing!"

Hu Ming's expression instantly became subtle. In the morning, he had slept in late, which was rare for him, and had let his guard down, so he hadn't noticed the commotion next door.

But the mute girl played it this way.
"I'm asking you, are you determined to cling to me, you little mute?"

Hu Ming scratched his head and said helplessly.

"Of course! I can tell you're all here for the secret of this village, and I won't leave until I see it!"

The mute girl nodded, her eyes filled with determination and stubbornness…

If it were a man, or someone ugly, Hu Ming would have knocked him unconscious, tied him up, and sent him back. But a mute girl...
"Forget it, let's see then."

Hu Ming really didn't have a good way to deal with this kind of stubborn girl.

How could you do this to my sister?

Upon meeting, the brother-in-law immediately became hostile and unfriendly.

"Is this the first day you've met me?"

Hu Ming raised an eyebrow.

"Damn scum."

Jiang Zisuan said helplessly.

"A capable guy is called a scumbag, an incompetent guy is called a simp. What do you think a normal person would choose?"

Without any intention of answering the confused mute girl's questions, Hu Ming patted Jiang Zisuan on the shoulder and said, "Enough of the nonsense, let's get down to business."

"What did your brothers decide?"

"Should I go to China as an immigrant and live a simple life, or choose to continue in this line of work?"

"You know, I also have a team overseas, which your sister manages for me. It shouldn't be a problem to settle your people in."

Hu Ming glanced at Jiang Zisuan's men and asked casually.

In fact, if it weren't for Horsa's intention to betray him, Hu Ming would have already transferred his team over.

Mr. Jiao is just a nobody; he has plenty of ways to deal with things.

However, he had to accept Hosa's favor, since Hosa was willing to sacrifice his own reputation to help him.

"About three-quarters of them are tired of this line of work, and the rest find the mundane life uninteresting and want to continue..."

The Caucasian man walked over; he had just tallied the group members' wishes.

"I remember you, Caucasian. So, what do you want to do?"

Hu Ming still had some impression of this person.

"Back in my hometown, there's a beautiful girl waiting for me to come back and marry her!"

The Caucasians wore expressions of happiness.

"..."

Hu Ming pinched his nose; some words were stuck in his throat, making him feel uncomfortable.

This lousy guy probably never watches movies, right?
How dare you say such things right before the war even begins? Do you truly not believe in the mysterious power of the Great East?
