Chapter 461 Bowing and scraping before the powerful

"boom--"

After a minor collision on the road, Wu Xie finally arrived at Wu Shan Ju. However, as soon as he got out of the car, he saw several police officers coming out of Wu Shan Ju and sealing it off.

Wu Xie was completely dumbfounded. He was about to go forward and ask when someone suddenly grabbed him.

"Pan Zi?!"

Wu Xie recognized the face of the person pulling him and exclaimed in surprise.

"Young Master, something's happened. The gambling den has been shut down, and Uncle and the others have been arrested," Pan Zi said, looking frustrated and anxious.

"What happened? How could it be shut down so suddenly?" Wu Xie knew how powerful his third uncle's gang was. In all these years, nothing had ever happened to them. How could they suddenly be attacked?

"I don't know. I've already called around and asked, but no one has received any information. It seems like the provincial department intervened directly." Pan Zi looked ashen and said with a bitter smile.

"Provincial Department?!" Wu Xie was even more at a loss, his eyes widening as he exclaimed in disbelief.

"Yes, Third Master, now we can only call Second Master. Only Second Master can save Third Master."

"Yes, yes, Second Uncle, I'll call you right now..." Wu Xie, who was at a loss, immediately grabbed a lifeline and hurriedly took out his phone to call Wu Erbai.

"Second Uncle, Third Uncle is in trouble..."

"My surname is Gao, and Gao... is my uncle."

Gao Dongxu slowly took out a Panda cigarette, lit one, took a puff, and looked at Wu Sansheng, who had a smiling face but a very calm look in his eyes, with a faint smile.

Wu Sansheng's pupils contracted, and the muscles on his face twitched uncontrollably a few times. He hurriedly smiled and said, "Hello, Young Master Gao, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Hehe, everyone says that the third son of the Wu family is shrewd and cunning, with an extremely meticulous mind. He's a seasoned veteran, ruthless, and decisive in his actions. Meeting him today, I can see that his reputation is well-deserved," Gao Dongxu said with a smile, expressing his appreciation.

"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it..." Wu Sansheng hurriedly put on a fawning smile and said modestly.

Gao Dongxu smiled noncommittally and stood up. As he walked toward Wu Sansheng, he took out a folded piece of white paper from his pocket, unfolded it, and placed it in front of Wu Sansheng.

"Let's take a look first—"

"Okay, okay..." Wu Sansheng immediately lowered his head and carefully examined the photocopy of the silk scroll.

However, upon seeing the photocopy of the silk manuscript, Wu Sansheng's expression changed once again.

"This...this looks like a map of an ancient tomb..."

Having made his judgment, Wu Sansheng suddenly raised his head and looked at Gao Dongxu.

Gao Dongxu paid no attention to Wu Sansheng's or Xie Lianhuan's pretense. He never intended to disrupt Wu Sansheng's plan. His strong intervention this time was to gain control, prevent any accidents, and obtain what he wanted.

Otherwise, he would still obediently play the role of the mantis stalking the cicada, following behind Wu Xie and the others, and enjoying the fruits of their labor.

Therefore, in order to prevent the plot from going astray in the future, he will try his best not to disrupt the plot and continue to let Wu Sansheng make plans and cause trouble.

“I knew I hadn’t come to the wrong person.” Gao Dongxu smiled with satisfaction. “That’s right, this is a map of the Seven Star Lu Palace.”

Wu Sansheng was deeply shocked, but on the surface he pretended to be deep in thought, looking at the photocopy of the silk scroll in his hand.

"I'm sorry, Young Master Gao, I can't fully understand it yet, but this tomb should indeed be the tomb of a nobleman from the State of Lu during the Warring States period. The fact that the location of his tomb was recorded on this silk scroll in such a secretive way indicates that this person must have been of very high status, and the tomb must have been very well hidden."

"I want you to take me down into this tomb." Gao Dongxu didn't care whether Wu Sansheng was pretending to be confused or genuinely unaware; he didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his request.

"This..." Wu Sansheng's expression turned serious, and he fell silent with a furrowed brow.

"Young Master Gao, to be honest, these Warring States period tombs are extremely dangerous, riddled with traps and mechanisms, and you could lose your life at any moment, and..."

"And what else?" Gao Dongxu continued to press.

“Moreover, underground is different from above ground; you might encounter some dirty things…” As he spoke, Wu Sansheng carefully observed Gao Dongxu’s changing expressions.

"Dirty stuff? You mean the rice dumpling?"

"Ahem, you really do know, that's right, it's those things." Wu Sansheng nodded in acknowledgment, looking as if he had just known.

"It's alright. Even if we run into it, I believe you'll have a way to handle it," Gao Dongxu said with a faint smile as he looked at Wu Sansheng.

Wu Sansheng felt as if he had been seen through, especially by Gao Dongxu's ambiguous smile, which sent a chill down his spine.

"This tomb contains several things I've been searching for, and I'm determined to get them..."

Gao Dongxu walked back to the chair and sat down, a slight smile playing on his lips. His gaze sharpened, and he met Wu Sansheng's eyes as he continued, "Help me get the stuff, and you, Wu Sansheng, can continue running your gambling den, and your Wu family can continue to live peacefully and prosperously." Wu Sansheng's expression changed drastically. His eyes turned fierce and sharp, and he stared intently at Gao Dongxu with a gloomy face.

No one likes being threatened with their family members, especially a ruthless person like Wu Sansheng who has survived countless near-death experiences.

Gao Dongxu was unconcerned about Wu Sansheng's breached defenses. He was confident that even if he hadn't, he could easily crush Wu Sansheng, whether he was outside or underground.

"Regardless of what you think, I'm just stating the facts. Take me there, get what I want, and everything will be fine," Gao Dongxu said with a faint smile.

"Once we're underground, I can't guarantee your safety..."

"Hehe, you'd better guarantee my safety. Otherwise, if something happens to me, a lot of people will get hurt too. So, don't be stubborn. You'd better do everything you can to help me get it done," Gao Dongxu said with a completely unreasonable laugh.

Wu Sansheng's lips twitched as he looked at Gao Dongxu, who was clearly confident in his abilities, and said with a wry smile, "Young Master Gao, why don't you tell me what you want, and I'll go down and get it for you? You're too delicate to risk going down there."

Gao Dongxu shook his head and said, "I'm definitely going down there, you don't need to say that. So, are you going to agree to take me with you, or are you prepared to spend the rest of your life in jail?"

"Hehe, do I have any other choice?" Wu Sansheng looked at Gao Dongxu and smiled bitterly.

"Alright, stop pretending in front of me. The fact that I came to you this way already shows how well I know you. Just because many people don't know your abilities, Wu Sansheng, doesn't mean I don't. When it comes to tomb raiding skills, only those three tomb raiders in America are better than you."

So, help me get what I want, and in the future, if your Wu family encounters any trouble or danger, I can lend a hand.

Gao Dongxu knew that with an old fox like Wu Sansheng, high-pressure tactics alone wouldn't work; a combination of soft and hard approaches was necessary for him to obediently help him.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Wu Sansheng immediately smiled broadly and said, "Young Master Gao, don't worry, I guarantee I will do my best to help you get the things."

"Alright. I'll wait and see." Gao Dongxu smiled, nodded, stood up, glanced at his watch, and said, "It's about time. I believe Wu Erbai has probably managed to get someone to bail you out. Go back and prepare well. Find a few experts. I'll call you tomorrow morning. By the way, I've taken that Black Gold Slaughtering City sword from your shop. No objections, right?"

"No, no, I'm glad you like it." Wu Sansheng's heart was bleeding. That black gold ancient sword was a treasure. He had originally planned to sell it and make a fortune.

"Alright, see you tomorrow. Oh, and by the way, bring Wu Xie with you this time when we go down into the tomb."

Upon hearing Wu Xie's name, Wu Sansheng's expression changed again, his heart churning once more. He forced a smile and said, "Young Master Gao, that kid Wu Xie doesn't understand anything. Taking him down would only be a burden..."

"Don't misunderstand, I'm not discussing this with you." Gao Dongxu said calmly, looking at Wu Sansheng with indifferent eyes. Then, ignoring Wu Sansheng's changing expression, he walked to the door, opened it, and left.

Wu Sansheng sat in the chair, his face gloomy, his eyes deep, and his brows furrowed as he began to think and plan.

This was truly a case of a surprise attack from the outset, disrupting his plans and schemes.

However, the other party had truly got him and the entire Wu family completely under their thumb. No matter how hard Wu Sansheng thought, he couldn't find a way to break the deadlock. Helpless, he felt utterly powerless in the face of Gao Dongxu, an unreasonable and willful powerful figure.

"Finished talking?" Brother Qi walked out of the monitoring room and asked Gao Dongxu with a smile.

"Yes, if someone bailes him out later, let him go," Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

"Hehe, someone just called," Brother Qi chuckled.

"Okay, I'll be going now." Gao Dongxu knew he didn't need to worry about what happened next.

"Okay, whatever you do, safety first, don't take any risks." Brother Qi said seriously and earnestly.

"Don't worry, ever since I was given a second chance at life, I'm more afraid of dying than anyone else." Gao Dongxu felt a warmth in his heart and joked, raising an eyebrow.

"Haha. Okay, go back and rest. Call me if you need anything." Brother Qi laughed and patted Gao Dongxu on the shoulder.

Then Brother Qi saw Gao Dongxu off and watched him get into the car with the twin sisters. He couldn't help but sigh at Gao Dongxu's good fortune with women.

Then, with a slight frown and a cold expression, he walked back into the building, pushed open the door to the interrogation room, looked at Wu Sansheng who was all smiles, and said in a cold voice, "No matter what he wants from you, remember, ensure his safety. If anything happens to him, I will wipe out the Wu family..."

"Ahem..."

"Are you okay?"

Having just paid bail and completed the formalities, Wu Erbai walked out of the building with Wu Sansheng. Looking at Wu Sansheng, who had a gloomy face, lit a cigarette, and was choking on the smoke, Wu Erbai asked with concern.

Wu Sansheng forced a smile and said, "It's nothing, thank you for your trouble, Second Brother."

"Alright, tell me, what exactly happened?" Wu Erbai asked in a low voice as he pulled Wu Sansheng away.

Wu Sansheng smiled wryly and said, "Don't ask, I won't tell you even if you do. Don't worry, it's nothing serious."

Wu Erbai frowned, his eyes sharp as he looked at Wu Sansheng. Seeing that Wu Sansheng was still grinning, he said indifferently, "Let's go home and talk about it."
