Chapter 751 A chilling intuition: Better to cooperate
The young man, having regained his senses, lowered his eyes to conceal the ruthlessness in them. Taking advantage of the narrow darkness in the crevice between the rocks, he quietly reached out and touched his side.

At this moment, he was only thinking about avenging the kick he had given his second uncle in the chest during the day, and the grudge of being able to watch helplessly as his second uncle fell into the water and fled in a sorry state.

The middle-aged man noticed his nephew's little trick almost instantly and instinctively wanted to help cover for him.

The uncle and nephew suffered a lot for this job. They crawled into the cracks in the rocks for three days and three nights, during which time it rained both outside and inside. They had nowhere to hide and could only endure the rain until they finally found a place to get their supplies. They almost ran out of ammunition and food.

Now, they've become the ones scouting the way for those who come in later!
Who is this to reason with!

He was about to say something to distract the girl when he suddenly met her eyes, which were still smiling at him.

It also carried a touch of playful certainty.

Suddenly, my head felt cold and my heart sank.

Instinctively, he reached out and stopped his nephew's hand, which was about to quietly stab him.

"Second uncle?"

Jiang Hanying clicked her tongue in slight regret.

If the other party attacks her first, then she will have a very good reason to retaliate.

Unfortunately, it was stopped at the crucial moment.

The older ones are indeed more difficult to deal with than the younger ones.

"Bring it here!"

"Wha, what?"

The young man, who was about to make a move but was stopped by his second uncle, stared blankly at the hand extended in front of him and asked a question.

Jiang Hanying was too lazy to pay attention to him now, and only looked behind him.

The middle-aged man tightened his grip on his chest. "I can't give you the thing," he paused, then gritted his teeth, "unless I die!"

He has always had excellent intuition, and since completing his apprenticeship, he has received countless jobs, both big and small.

During that time, he also met many people who did the same business as him, but most of them are now dead.

The fact that he has managed to survive to this day, despite all the ups and downs, is largely due to his remarkably accurate intuition.

The girl in front of him looked young, but his intuition told him that he felt a chill run down his spine every time they met face to face.

Fortunately, he could intuitively sense that the other party seemed to have some kind of taboo, preventing them from acting recklessly.

But if they make the first move, then this taboo will be broken.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and made a bold decision, "Since we each have the same item, instead of being stuck in this stalemate, how about we cooperate? Our goal is to open the gate, and when the gate opens, it's not like only one person can go in. Our cooperation will end after the gate is opened."

Jiang Hanying glanced at the time on her phone, nodded, and withdrew her hand. "Okay."

She's in a hurry too, you know.

I sneaked out while everyone else was resting in their rooms.

"Then we'll be partners from now on."

"Ah."

The uncle and nephew both breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the young man's intuition wasn't as accurate as his second uncle's, he had worked with his second uncle for so many years and knew that his second uncle's intuition had saved them many times.

Since his second uncle chose to cooperate this time instead of hurting people and taking the things, it means that the woman in front of him is more dangerous than he imagined.

Anyway, you can't go wrong by listening to your second uncle.

Now that they had reached an agreement and had all the keys to open the door, the three of them headed out together.

After exiting the crevice, they descended back to the ground along the rock wall. Once they were on their feet, the uncle and nephew both looked at the person next to them who had landed on the ground several seconds earlier than them, and then exchanged a silent glance.

When did such a young and skilled colleague emerge in their line of work? There had been no warning whatsoever! On the way to the lake, the middle-aged man couldn't help but subtly probe, "I am Yun Chu'er from the Yun Jing lineage, and this is my nephew, Yun Chaoyi. May I ask who you are, young lady?"

"Jiang Hanying".

Yun Chu Er: "Uh..."

What he really wanted to know wasn't the name!

But the surname Jiang... I don't think there are any people with the surname Jiang in their line of work.

Could it be that they took in an apprentice from outside because of his exceptional talent?
Jiang Hanying was quite interested in the names of the uncle and nephew.

"Do all your family names have to include numbers?"

Yun Chu Er: "..."

People in the same industry are generally aware of the naming traditions of the Yunjing lineage.

Suddenly I have this feeling that after all these years, I'm still nobody.

"Yes, I am the second oldest in my generation, and Chaoyi is the eldest in their generation. Chu and Chao are also generation names determined by our ancestors."

"You guys have it easy choosing a name, you don't even have to think about it, the name is decided before the baby is even born."

Uncle and nephew: "..."

I initially thought this naming method was unique, but now that I think about it, it's definitely convenient.

Could it be that one of the ancestors of the Yun family who set this rule did so simply to save time and avoid having to think of a name?

The more I think about it, the more likely it is!

Jiang Hanying's reputation as a conversation killer proved its worth once again, successfully deterring the uncle and nephew from further probing, and they walked silently to the lakeside.

The uncle and nephew first worked together to pull a boat out of a nearby thick reed bed. After cleaning it up briefly, they said, "Miss Jiang, please."

After Jiang Hanying boarded the boat, the uncle and nephew went to the bow and stern respectively, and began to row the boat toward the center of the lake together.

As she rowed, Yun Chu'er looked up at the moon high in the sky and the twinkling stars, then put the oars back in her hand.

Upon seeing this, Yun Chao also stopped rowing.

"That's about it, time to get in the water."

After putting down the oars, the uncle and nephew simply took off their outermost clothes, revealing the watersuits they had already put on underneath.

Seeing this, Jiang Hanying also quietly took off her coat. The waterproof jacket was somewhat like a life jacket, making it inconvenient to dive. She didn't plan to take off her shoes this time, and she also brought her phone with her.

After the uncle and nephew put on their oxygen tanks and checked each other's belongings to make sure everything was normal, they turned around and saw Jiang Hanying standing on the other side of the boat. "You're not wearing a water suit?"

"No."

Yun Chao glanced at his second uncle, and seeing that his second uncle nodded, he picked up the spare oxygen cylinder beside him. "We don't have any extra water suits, we wore them in advance. This oxygen cylinder is a spare, you can use it."

Jiang Hanying glanced at it curiously at first, then reached out to refuse; she didn't want to carry that thing into the water.

"I don't need this."

Upon seeing this, Yun Chu'er's pupils contracted, and a sudden thought flashed through her mind: "You're from the Water Ghost lineage?"

Although he had never cooperated with the Water Ghosts, he had heard of their unique skills: they were excellent swimmers and could dive hundreds of meters barehanded, something only they could do.

"What water ghost? Never heard of it."

As Jiang Hanying spoke, she walked to the stern of the boat and, without saying a word, jumped directly into the lake.

Seeing this, the uncle and nephew didn't dare to delay and jumped down one on each side.

Water splashed on the lake surface, then fell silent again after a moment.

Only an empty boat remained, swaying gently in the middle of the lake.
