Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 774 Goodbye Huo Xiuxiu!

Ultimately, there was nothing to worry about; it was just a farewell gathering.

With nothing to do, the group of people spent the afternoon chatting and joking around in the teahouse.

Regarding Xiao Ge's departure, Wu Xie and Fatty didn't react as strongly as they had when Xiao Ge left last time.

After all, this time, the young man clearly told them his destination, even though both Medog and Banna were remote and sparsely populated places.

But it's not a big problem. If you miss your boyfriend, just spend a few days getting over it.

Before parting, Wu Xie, Fatty, and Xiao Ge Hu Ming waved goodbye, and even had the mood to tease the two of them.

“Brother, wait a few years, when I get older, I’ll leave my family behind and go live in seclusion with you in Banna.”

"Please don't. I've lived in Banna for ten years, and I'm sick of it."

The fat man couldn't help but complain.

"Feeling like throwing up?"

"I think you actually don't want to go back to that place of heartbreak and see that girl you still long for again, right?"

"She's getting married tomorrow, but unfortunately, I'm not the groom..."

As he spoke, Hu Ming became very enthusiastic and even started singing.

To be honest, although Hu Ming couldn't quite remember the exact lyrics, he sang the tune quite well.

Wu Xie couldn't help but burst into laughter, and even Xiao Ge's lips curled up slightly.

"Get lost, you bunch of bastards, you don't expect me to be kind to you, do you?"

"I let go for love, you know? I'm not like you two old fogies. Besides, when Tianzhen and I die of old age, you two will have to bury us and keep vigil for us, won't you?"

The fat man's face darkened, and he rolled his eyes. There was no way to continue the conversation.

Although he was about the same age as Hu Ming, Fatty was different from Hu Ming. He didn't have the ability to stay eighteen forever and couldn't act recklessly.

Besides, Yun Cai is still young, and the fat man really can't go against his conscience and ruin the little girl's life.

"The conditions for an opportunity have been met; all that's left is the final preparation. If you're willing, that's fine too."

Hu Ming's expression turned serious, and he said solemnly.

"...Forget it, we'll talk about it later!"

Wu Xie and Fatty smiled slightly, giving perfunctory replies with little interest.

After their trip to Lei City, they understood Hu Ming's meaning; however, immortality was something else entirely…

Many people are willing to risk everything for a chance at immortality, even if it's just a tiny sliver of hope.

However, some people only want a peaceful and uneventful ordinary life. Immortality doesn't really hold much appeal for them.

"Speaking of which, Uncle Ming, what about the blind man? He disappeared three days ago as soon as he arrived in Hangzhou. Nobody knows where he went, and he's not answering his phone."

Wu Xie changed the subject.

"...You might not believe it, but the blind man went to Beijing to drive for Didi..."

"Alright, it's about time. My brother and I should go now. Goodbye."

Hu Ming gave a strange smile, glanced at the time, and waved goodbye to the two men.

After arriving in Beijing, the young man said a brief goodbye to Hu Ming and entered the waiting hall to wait for his flight from Beijing to Lhasa. Thanks to Hu Ming, the young man now had an ID card, meaning his long-distance travel was no longer limited to long-distance buses.

In a few years, long-distance bus tickets will require real-name authentication using ID cards. Without an ID card, it will be virtually impossible to move an inch in this country.

...Poor guy.

Back in the familiar city of Beijing, Yin Nanfeng, with a look of despair on his face, was slowly dragged into the car by a smiling voice, heading towards the New Moon Hotel.

What awaits Yin Nanfeng is undoubtedly a life of relentless and unbearable overtime work, day and night…

"Uncle Ming."

Before parting, Yin Nanfeng's eyes were filled with tears, and she let out a mournful cry that would break the hearts of all who heard it and weep for those who saw it.

Hu Ming could only respond with an encouraging smile.

Therefore, people with power and influence are not necessarily happy.

I, Hu Ming, don't love money at all, and I've never even touched money in my life!
I, Hu Ming, have absolutely no interest in boxing, and I've never even touched a fist in my life!
I, Hu Ming, deeply regret my past actions. I should never have taken over the Hong family's business. Wouldn't it have been better to be a freelance tomb raider, adventuring out of personal interest?
Hu Ming looked up at the sky and sighed, his eyes filled with regret.

"Second Master, I have a feeling you're thinking about something that's hard to accept. Never mind, it's not a big deal. Where are we going next?"

"Are you going home?"

After Yin Nanfeng left, Hong Xia stretched. Her cool face, slender figure, and lithe waist had a unique charm that captivated the eyes of many passersby.

It has to be said that Hongxia has been by Hu Ming's side for many years. Even the most beautiful scenery, after seeing it for so many years, Hu Ming just thinks it's nothing special, and he really can't figure out what's so interesting about it...

Speaking of which, Hong Xia seems to be getting increasingly "outrageous" in front of Hu Ming lately?
I feel like things are different now compared to how they used to be...

"I really don't have time to go right now, so I'll just go home..."

Before Hu Ming could finish speaking, a cheer rang out from behind.

"Uncle Ming! I've come to pick you up!"

As the words fell, a soft body draped over Hu Ming's back.

Turning around, I saw... Huo Xiuxiu!
"How did you know I'd be back at this time? Who told you? Let me guess, it was Wu Xie?"

Hu Ming brushed aside the dark hair hanging on the side of his face with one finger and gave Hong Xia a strange look.

I felt that Hong Xia's mood had clearly improved after Yin Nanfeng left, but then Huo Xiuxiu appeared...

Hong Xia maintained her smile, but Hu Ming keenly sensed that the surrounding air pressure seemed to have dropped slightly.
"Who else could it be? Wu Xie is a spy I placed next to Uncle Ming."

"That annoying woman Yin Nanfeng is gone? Well, she's been running away for so long, there must have been a lot of things piling up at home. That's great!"

"Since you don't know where to go tonight, Uncle Ming, why don't you come to my place? It's been so long since you've come!"

Changing one's expression is a unique skill of women, and Huo Xiuxiu, who was hanging on Hu Ming's back, changed her expression several times in a short period of time.

"It's still early, only 7 p.m. Xiaohua is going to perform Farewell My Concubine tonight. After the performance, it will be about time."

Huo Xiuxiu's expression changed again. She whispered sweetly in Hu Ming's ear, her stunningly alluring eyes almost dripping with tears.

"what"

"So, next time we'll have to find a time when all of Second Master's women are away? Just to be on the safe side, perhaps we should bring Sheng Sheng Man along?"

"Especially for Second Master, more people means more power... I think Second Master can't refuse."

Hongxia followed Hu Ming and his companion expressionlessly, her eyes filled with a deep, unsettling gaze.

Having been by Hu Ming's side for over ten years, Hong Xia knew all too well Hu Ming's peculiar preferences!
"Ah sneeze!"

Sheng Shengman, who was accompanying Yin Nanfeng to the New Moon Hotel, sneezed without warning. A dark cloud rose in her heart, and she felt that disaster was about to befall her.
