Chapter 457 Unexpected Gain - Starting Over

Soon, the two sisters put two packets of acupuncture needles, as well as two daggers, throwing knives, steel needles, and other bottles and jars into a suitcase.

Gao Dongxu's lips twitched a few times as he looked at the odds and ends in the suitcase. He watched as the two sisters skillfully inserted two hairpins, which had clearly been specially processed, into their buns.

"What's in all these bottles and jars?" Gao Dongxu asked curiously.

She took off her JK uniform, revealing her tall and graceful figure, and while putting on a black tight-fitting vest dress, she said, "We have hypnotic aids, sleeping pills, and poisons."

Hearing the answer was the same as his guess, Gao Dongxu's lips twitched a few times. Fortunately, the twin sisters had no choice and did not have any bad intentions, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"The mouth of a green bamboo snake, the stinger of a wasp's tail. Both are dangerous, but the most poisonous is a woman's heart," Gao Dongxu chuckled.

The two sisters, already dressed in their dresses, began to slip black boots onto their fair, slender legs. At the same time, they looked up and rolled their eyes at Gao Dongxu with annoyance.

Little Chili sneered, "Aren't you scared? Knowing we were assassins, you still dared to sleep with us."

After putting on her boots, Ru Xinjiao giggled and said, "He's just confident he's got us both figured out."

"I think it's lust that's clouding his judgment and making him incredibly audacious." Ru Qing looked at the smiling Gao Dongxu and warned, "You'd better be careful in the future. Female assassins shouldn't sleep around recklessly. They might have poison in their lipsticks, hidden in their teeth, and in some other places..."

"Cough cough..." Gao Dongxu's lips twitched a few times, and he said with a wry smile, "Really?"

“It’s true, Japanese female assassins love to use these insidious tricks. We witnessed them when we were in Japan with Old Master Chao.” Ruxin said with a serious expression.

"Okay, I understand." Gao Dongxu really took it to heart. He knew he shouldn't mess around with random women; they might be using his charms or falling into a trap. It was safer and more hygienic to stick with familiar, well-known celebrities.

Just then, his phone rang. Gao Dongxu answered, "You've arrived? Okay, wait a moment, I'll be down soon."

"Are you ready yet?" After hanging up the phone, Gao Dongxu watched as the two sisters took out two identical black coats with red trim and fitted waists and put them on.

"Okay, let's go."

The two sisters answered in unison, and each of them picked up a black travel bag.

Gao Dongxu reached out and picked up the briefcase containing the weapons, then led the two women downstairs, where they saw Fusheng waiting, smoking a cigarette.

"Boss—" Fusheng hurriedly threw away his cigarette and ran forward.

"Put this suitcase with those other things, and drive it to Mengshan. After you meet up with Fugui, buy seven mountain bikes there," Gao Dongxu instructed again.

“Okay, boss.” Fusheng took the suitcase and nodded in agreement.

"Oh, right, have Leng Feng buy two more sets of outdoor gear... Send me your sizes, and I'll have someone prepare the equipment for you." Gao Dongxu said, looking at the two heroic and stern-faced sisters.

"Hmm." Ru Xin coldly hummed in response.

"Alright, you take us to the airport first, I need to fly to Hangzhou," Gao Dongxu said to Fusheng.

"Okay, boss."

The four got into the car and headed straight for the airport.

Two hours later, we arrived in Hangzhou.

Outside the airport terminal, Gao Dongxu, accompanied by the two sisters, saw Brother Qi leaning against the Land Cruiser.

"Brother Qi, why did you come in person?" Gao Dongxu was somewhat surprised, but also admired Brother Qi's 'approachability'. He had to admit that Brother Qi was truly adept at interpersonal relationships.

"Hehe, I'm free right now, let's go, get in the car—" Brother Qi said with a smile. Seeing the twin sisters Ru Xin and Ru Qing, he couldn't help but sigh at Gao Dongxu's good fortune with women, and at the same time he thought of the Yu Jiaqin and Yu Jiafeng sisters.

"You two sit in the back—" Gao Dongxu said to the two sisters, then opened the passenger door and got in.

The two sisters opened the car door and got in, maintaining a silent and aloof demeanor. At first, they didn't pay much attention to Brother Qi, but after listening to their conversation, they were shocked. They looked at each other simultaneously and saw the same turbulent emotions in each other's beautiful eyes, causing their bodies to tense up involuntarily.

A guilty conscience needs no accuser.

The two sisters had done too many shady things, so they instinctively rejected and feared Brother Qi.

Of course, the two sisters also gained a very direct understanding of Gao Dongxu's background and power, which made them completely give up the struggle.

"Should we eat first, or go see the person first?" "Go see the person first." Gao Dongxu was eager to figure out what was on his mind.

"This guy with the big gold tooth is quite interesting. He's very slick and never tells the truth. He's a real chatterbox and keeps nagging about making a phone call," Brother Qi said with a laugh.

"Well, he's an old Beijing slicker, a very famous antique dealer in the 80s and 90s. He swindled a lot of foreigners, had a complicated network of relationships, and a wide circle of connections. However, at some point, he disappeared without a trace. He was involved in several unsolved cases and secrets of the Antique Bureau, and I want to find out more from him," Gao Dongxu explained, half-jokingly.

"Is it related to those tomb raiders from the Wu family?" Brother Qi, who was driving, turned his head and glanced at Gao Dongxu with a smile before suddenly saying.

"Brother Qi also knows about the Wu family?" Gao Dongxu was slightly taken aback, but quickly understood. After all, he was the top leader of the Six Doors. When it came to the most knowledgeable forces in the entire territory, no one could compare to him.

Moreover, Gao Dongxu guessed that Brother Qi still held countless leverage over various forces, which he could use at any time to draw attention to them, increase his own performance, and so on.

To put it bluntly, you can never catch all the thieves. Brother Qi is just raising fish in his own little patch of land; when the fish get big and fat, he catches and eats a batch.

This is why, later, when Brother Qi was in the most danger, when Yu Jiaqin asked him to throw out a few big fish to attract fire, Brother Qi said it wasn't time yet, because he was afraid that throwing them out would scare the other side.

This clearly demonstrates that Brother Qi has a very good grasp of the entire system and is also very familiar with all the big and small situations in his own little territory.

"How could we not know? It's the largest gambling den along the coast of Jiangnan. The Wu family has been deeply involved for over twenty years, with a complex web of relationships. The eldest Wu is a famous geological engineer and the son-in-law of the former No. 5 in Hangzhou. The second Wu is a well-known business tycoon in Hangzhou, shrewd and calm. Only the third Wu is still a tomb raider, doing the work of dividing and selling stolen goods."

Gao Dongxu was slightly stunned when he heard this information. Goodness, it turns out that Wu Xie's naivety is rooted in his family background. He is not only a rich second-generation, but also a third-generation official. He is a top student from Zhejiang University and inherited the Xiling Society right after graduation. Goodness, thinking about it this way, Wu Xie is really lucky.

"Heh, no wonder you know him but don't destroy his gambling den," Gao Dongxu chuckled.

"There's no need. Wu Laosan is quite sensible and knows when to advance and retreat. He won't sell important artifacts and has even helped recover a lot of national treasures."

Besides being a tomb raider, he also participated in many national archaeological teams in the 1960s and 70s, making significant contributions. Some higher-ups had also intervened, so they turned a blind eye.

"The moment you called and mentioned the Xiling Society, I knew you were eyeing the Wu family. Do they have what you want? Just tell me, and I'll call Wu Laosan directly and have him deliver it to you." Brother Qi said with a smile, glancing at Gao Dongxu.

Gao Dongxu chuckled, not questioning Brother Qi's authority and power; however, what he wanted was in the tomb.

However, Brother Qi's words opened up a new perspective for Gao Dongxu.

First of all, Gao Dongxu could not determine whether the current Wu Sansheng was the real Wu Sansheng or Xie Lianhuan.

Furthermore, both of them are extremely shrewd and cunning, with meticulous minds, ruthless hearts, and decisive actions.

Wu Sansheng and Xie Lianhuan had been laying out a scheme for decades to cultivate Wu Xie and make him the Nine Gates' last backup plan, all to lure out the Wang family.

Of course, Wu Sansheng and Xie Lianhuan are unaware of the specific existence of the Wang family; they only sense that a hidden force, an invisible hand, is manipulating them.

Gao Dongxu began to hesitate. Following behind Wu Sansheng and the others, he wondered if he could really succeed as the oriole stalking the cicada. He knew that if he couldn't control every detail, unexpected situations could easily arise.

What if, just like in the original story, Zhang Qiling, in order to save Wu Xie, disregarded everything and fed the Qilin Rest directly to Wu Xie?
Is he really going to kill Wu Xie and the others?

That was secondary. What Gao Dongxu was more worried about was whether he, the oriole, would become its, or the Wang family's, meal.

As mentioned before, the above-ground and underground worlds are two different worlds. What people are afraid of or dare not do on the ground will be greatly weakened once they go underground, and there is no rule out the possibility of permanent trouble, leaving people forever underground.

Of course, most importantly, there are just too many unanswered questions about the Daomu Biji series. Although he understands the plot, he hasn't studied it in depth.

That's why he decided to leave the Lu Palace and give up participating in the Bronze Tree storyline. He finally got off to a winning start, and he didn't want to court death. Who knows what kind of reincarnation he'll be in next time?

In Gao Dongxu's view, the most terrifying thing in the entire Tomb Raider series is the Bronze Tree. Once it leaves and comes out, it's hard to say whether it will be him again.

Wishes come true, fantasies become reality... Just thinking about it is terrifying.

If someone suddenly gets carried away and starts having wild thoughts, then they really won't be able to come back.

Therefore, even with the Bronze Tree in his possession, he didn't care about it. His life was the most important thing, and compared to his life, any divine artifact was worthless.

Since we can't control the overall situation or prevent unexpected events, perhaps we should change our plan to play the role of the opportunist and take advantage of any loopholes.

By directly and forcefully intervening, they disrupted the plans of the old fox Wu Sansheng, making him hesitant to act and obediently submitting, allowing him, this important figure, to take a trip to the Lu Palace!
