Movie variety show soul travels between two worlds to become a rich man

Chapter 486 Seeing through the situation, yet already a player in it!

"You really don't remember anything?"

After pouring Tang Nannan a glass of water and letting her drink it, Gao Dongxu pulled the incredibly shy beauty into his arms, gently stroking her fair and smooth butterfly-shaped back, and asked with a hint of amusement.

With her pretty face flushed and her beautiful eyes narrowed into crescents, Tang Nannan, feeling Gao Dongxu's broad and strong chest, was like a little fox who had found its master, and she shyly murmured.

That's just how reality is; once the facade is broken, the relationship will progress rapidly.

Although Zhang Ailing's words were straightforward, they profoundly revealed the close connection between women's emotions and sexuality.

For a woman, not just anyone can walk in; only those she wants to walk in can walk in.

Because when it comes to sexual feelings, women are more realistic and forward-looking than men.

Therefore, Tang Nannan had already tacitly approved of Gao Dongxu's intrusion.

"Want to take a look at what I wrote down and try to recall it?" Gao Dongxu lowered his head, reached out and lifted Tang Nannan's chin, looking at her blushing, beautiful face, and raised an eyebrow with a smile.

Tang Nannan bit her red lips shyly, her beautiful eyes sparkling. She shook her head vigorously and said sweetly, "I won't look, I'd rather die than look..."

Looking at her breathtakingly beautiful face, coupled with her alluring eyes and the subtle movement of her slightly parted, sexy red lips, Gao Dongxu felt like he was about to explode.

With such a sexy and alluring beauty by your side, it's hard to imagine anyone being able to resist.

Even if someone is a beast, it's still better than being worse than a beast.

"Fine, don't watch it then. Let's watch it again..." Gao Dongxu kissed Tang Nannan's red lips, her eyes wide with surprise, without considering the consequences.

. . . . . .

"Ahem, alright, don't be angry. It's not entirely my fault. You're so tempting, I just couldn't resist."

An hour later, Gao Dongxu, feeling somewhat guilty and embarrassed, hugged Tang Nannan from behind. Tang Nannan, pouting her red lips, was angry and shamelessly argued.

"Don't touch me—you're bullying me too much..." Tang Nannan, feeling like she was about to explode, scolded him in a tearful voice, her voice a mix of anger, grievance, and coquettishness.

"I was wrong, I promise I'll listen to you next time, you can stop whenever you say so..." Gao Dongxu chuckled and kissed her fair, gleaming shoulder, coaxing her.

"Hmph—" Tang Nannan gave a coquettish snort, twisted and struggled a few times, but was eventually coaxed into Gao Dongxu's arms by his sweet words. Like a wounded little fox that had found warmth, she let down her guard, and fell asleep with a happy and satisfied smile.

Meanwhile, at Wang Pangzi's antique shop in Liulichang, Wu Xie's first words to Wang Pangzi were...

"Fatty, you have to help me. I need to see the matriarch of the Huo family."

The smile that had appeared on Fatty Wang's face when he saw Wu Xie slowly faded, and he frowned as he said, "Are you talking about the third young lady of the Huo family from the Nine Gates, the old lady Huo who is known in the martial arts world as Fairy Huo?"

“Exactly,” Wu Xie nodded.

Fatty Wang looked at Wu Xie speechlessly and said irritably, "Wu Xie, you're too naive. Do you even know who Huo Xiangu is? Do you think you can just meet her whenever you want?"
As far as I know, Huo Xiangu rarely receives guests. Let alone you, even her own son has to wait and see her, depending on her mood.

"How can you say it won't work without even trying?" Wu Xie said, still somewhat unwilling to give up.

Seeing Wu Xie's disappointed look, Fatty Wang rolled his eyes, raised an eyebrow and said, "I didn't say it was impossible, but you have to tell me first why you're looking for her."

Wu Xie was about to mention the Snake-Eyebrow Bronze Fish, but he swallowed the words back and looked at Fatty, saying, "I'll tell you after we've made contact—"

Fatty, who had gone through thick and thin with Wu Xie and never trusted anyone in the past, felt a strange fondness and trust towards him. When Wu Xie kept him in suspense, Fatty wasn't angry; he simply hummed in agreement and said, "Let's go, I'll treat you to Peking duck—"

In the elegant room of Quanjude, Wu Xie sipped his tea and watched Wang Pangzi making one phone call after another on his phone, feeling a little touched.

It seems that the fat man is really using all his connections for his sake.

At this moment, the dishes began to be served. The duck carver pushed the food cart in, and the fat man put away his phone and walked back to the table with a smug look on his face.

"Come on, have a taste—" The fat man sat down and started serving Wu Xie food. "Eat more, we'll add more if you're not full, don't try to save me money—"

"That's enough, how can the two of us eat so much..." Wu Xie said with a smile, looking at the table full of dishes and the roast duck being sliced.

"Come on, let's have one first—" The fat man raised his glass, smiled, and clinked glasses with Wu Xie.

Wu Xie downed the roast duck in one gulp, then rolled it up and put it in his mouth, chewing as he showed a look of enjoyment.

"How was it?" the fat man asked with a smile.

"tasty--"

"Haha, if it tastes good, eat more."

The two ate and drank, and after three cups of baijiu, the fat man laughed and said, "Now can you tell me what you wanted to see Huo Xiangu for?" "What? Did you get some news?" Wu Xie's eyes lit up as he looked at the fat man and asked.

"Hehe, that's right." The fat man said with a smug look on his face.

"So fast?" Wu Xie said, somewhat incredulously.

"Don't you know anything? I, Fatty Wang, am a big shot in Beijing... But I still need to hear your reasons before I decide whether to do this or not," Fatty Wang said to Wu Xie.

Wu Xie hesitated for a moment, then looked at Fatty Wang and said, "Do you remember the bronze fish that Young Master Gao threw to me? My third uncle said that only Old Madam Huo might know the origin of this thing."

"Oh, I see. That explains why you were looking for her..." Fatty Wang suddenly realized, looking at Wu Xie and saying, "The New Moon Hotel opens in three days and will hold an auction. Old Madam Huo will definitely be attending. So... let's sneak in, catch her off guard, and ask her directly, that'll solve everything."

"The Crescent Moon Hotel?!" Wu Xie's lips twitched a few times after reading Wu Laogou's notes. He looked at the fat man and asked, "Won't we be kicked out?"

Fatty Wang grinned wickedly and said, "Then we'll have to see what young master Wu is capable of."

Wu Xie frowned slightly, looking hesitant.

"Actually, you can go directly to Young Master Gao. I think he didn't throw the bronze fish at you without a reason. He did it intentionally. Perhaps he knows something about the bronze fish."

Seeing Wu Xie deep in thought, Fatty Wang picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and while picking up some food to put in his mouth, he intentionally reminded him.

"I've thought about it too, but my third uncle warned me that it's best not to get too close to him. He's too mysterious and unpredictable. And, as you've seen, he's the kind of person who plans things carefully before acting, likes to have everything under control, and may even have planned every step of the way."

As you said, he didn't throw the bronze fish at me without reason; it was definitely intentional. Since it was intentional, do you think he will tell me the truth?
"I'm afraid he wants me to go to my third uncle or Old Lady Huo to find out the information about this bronze fish." Although Wu Xie is naive, it doesn't mean he's brainless. On the contrary, he can be considered extremely intelligent.

“That’s true.” Fatty Wang nodded seriously. “To be honest, being with him is really awkward. It’s like being with a tiger. You have to be on guard all the time. Moreover, being with him makes everyone feel like his sidekick or follower. It’s so oppressive and suffocating.”

“Hehe, nonsense. He’s a true member of a powerful and wealthy family, and not just any ordinary one. His uncle is…” Wu Xie whispered to Fatty about Gao Dongxu’s background that Wu Sansheng had told him.

"Holy crap, no wonder he's so awesome!" Fatty Wang's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed in surprise.

“That’s secondary. My third uncle said that he is a truly skilled master. You weren’t with us, so you didn’t see him…” At this point, Wu Xie glanced at the duck-slicing master and immediately stopped talking.

Fatty Wang glanced at Wu Xie, who was halfway through his sentence, then at the duck-slicing master, and said, "Master, please take it out and slice it. Let's have a private chat."

"Alright, enjoy your meal, gentlemen—" The duck chef immediately pushed the cart away and closed the door behind him.

"Go on, what happened to him?" Fatty Wang asked curiously.

"After we went down into the tomb, we encountered King Mu of Zhou, who had been moved to the tomb entrance by King Lu Shang and turned into a blood corpse. At that time, the coffin lid flew up and black smoke billowed. It looked like the corpse was about to rise. Zhang Qiling knelt down and begged for mercy in the language of the corpse. We were so scared that we knelt down as well."

Then, Gao Shao took out a Three Pure Ones Bell and a bronze seal flashing with purple lightning. He stepped forward with overwhelming arrogance and said, "If you dare come out, I'll destroy you." After that, King Mu of Zhou in the coffin didn't dare make a sound, trembling like a quail. Wu Xie recounted this with a sigh, vividly describing the scene.

"Holy crap—that's amazing?!" Fatty Wang's eyes widened in shock as he exclaimed.

"This is a god-like figure! If we went tomb raiding with him, what would we be afraid of? We'd sweep through everything in our path and rob every tomb in the world..."

Wu Xie rolled his eyes in annoyance and scoffed, "Do you think he's short of money?"

Fatty Wang shook his fat head.

"Isn't that it? He's a billionaire, he doesn't lack money, how could he be a professional tomb raider? My third uncle told me that what really attracts him to tomb raiding is probably those rare treasures with special functions, and things related to immortality."

"Jade figurines!" Fatty Wang's eyes widened suddenly, and he said in a low voice.

Wu Xie nodded, then took out the Snake-Eyebrow Bronze Fish, looked at it, and said with a solemn expression, "Although I don't know why he threw this thing at me, I guess this Snake-Eyebrow Bronze Fish is very likely related to immortality!"

Wang Pangzi was startled, his brows furrowed as he stared at the Snake-Eyebrowed Bronze Fish, and said in a low voice, "Does he want you to clear the way for him?"

"That's about right..." Wu Xie nodded solemnly, but then frowned and said, "What I find strange is that my third uncle doesn't seem to mind me taking the risk, and to some extent, he's even encouraging me to continue investigating..."

"Oh dear, my brain..." Fatty Wang scratched his head and said with a wry smile, "What I hate most is conspiracy and trickery. It's such a simple thing, but they have to make it so complicated."

If Young Master Gao wants you to help him investigate clues about immortality, why not just say so directly? Provide funding, information, and manpower, and we'll help him search. Why make it so complicated?

"Heh, if everyone thought like you, that would be great." Wu Xie smiled bitterly. "That's what those in power are like. They're used to treating everyone as pawns in their game. Once they choose you as a pawn, you're already in the game, and you have no choice but to play along!"

"Damn, if you're pushed to the limit, we'll just lie down and do whatever we want. If you've got the guts, kill Fatty Wang—" Fatty Wang suddenly burst out with his reckless and unruly spirit, sneering defiantly.

"Hehe, Fatty is so bold—" Wu Xie looked at Fatty Wang, gave him a thumbs up and laughed, then narrowed his eyes, picked up his wine glass, tilted his head back and drank it down, saying with great bravado, "Since I'm already in the game, then I'll use myself as bait to invite everyone in the world to join in!"

"Holy crap, you're naive, you've tricked me?!" Upon hearing this, Fatty Wang felt like he had fallen into a huge pit, and he glared and complained.
