Chapter 614 Money Makes Things Negotiable

"A gold fan from the Tang Dynasty—"

Gao Dongxu held a golden banana leaf fan, admiring it with a smile, and fanned himself with it.

The ground was covered with rare treasures from various dynasties, such as Buddha heads from the Northern Wei Dynasty and bronze horses from the Warring States period, totaling thirty-six pieces, which filled all thirty-six shrines on the walls of the tomb.

Wu Xie, Fatty Wang, Hei Xiazi, and Xie Yuchen stood aside watching Gao Dongxu happily play with and admire a pile of antiques, their gazes complex and their thoughts unsettled.

There was nothing they could do. From the beginning, Gao Dongxu seemed to have chosen to ignore them. However, Fugui, Erpang, and Fusheng were clearly positioned to target them. Moreover, their eyes never left them, not to mention the guns in their hands.

This made Wu Xie and his group of five sense something unusual.

Wu Xie winked at Fatty Wang, who smirked, coughed twice, and said with a forced smile, "Young Master Gao, besides us, there's a group of mysterious people dressed in black in the tomb. They control some kind of puppet and are carrying time bombs..."

"Hmm. I know." Gao Dongxu put down the bronze horse in his hand, waved the golden Tang fan in his hand, and looked at the group with a smile. Then he walked up to them and his gaze swept back and forth between Xie Yuchen and Hei Xiazi.

"Hello, Young Master Gao, my name is Xie Yuchen—" Xie Yuchen felt very uncomfortable being stared at by Gao Dongxu with a cat-and-mouse gaze. He forced a smile and introduced himself with clasped hands.

"Hehe, no need for introductions, I know you. You're the chairman of Ryan-Rochard Auction Co., Ltd., the head of the Xie family of the Nine Gates, the grandson of Xie Jiuye, the stepson of Xie Lianhuan, a disciple of Er Yuehong, with a wealthy family background, you could even be described as a hidden super-rich man." Gao Dongxu looked at Xiaohua and said with a smile as if he knew her well.

Xie Yuchen's heart sank. He hadn't expected the other party to know so much about him. But before he could react, Gao Dongxu smiled and moved to face Hei Xiazi, who was greeting him with a smile.

"Black Bear—"

"Oh my, I never expected that Young Master Gao would also know me, the Blind Man. This is truly an honor." Black Bear smiled and clasped his hands in a fist and palm salute.

"Southern Blind and Northern Mute, two renowned masters in the tomb raiding world. The one with the Han surname Qi is a Manchu bannerman, one of the few remaining Eight Banner nobles from the Qing Dynasty, and holds a master's degree in music and anatomy from Germany." Gao Dongxu said with a smile, revealing Hei Xiazi's background information.

The smile on Hei Xiazi's face disappeared, replaced by a serious expression, and his brows furrowed slightly. Although he was wearing sunglasses, Gao Dongxu could clearly see that his gray-white eyes were staring straight at him.

"Holy crap, glasses, you're something else! I didn't realize you were not only a remnant of the old regime, but also a double master's graduate from overseas!" At this moment, the fat man who had been arguing with the bear and had become friends with him exclaimed in surprise.

"Hehe, it's nothing, nothing at all. I didn't expect Young Master Gao to know me so well," Black Bear said modestly with a grin.

"Hehe, it's really nothing to mention, after all, you're a wanted criminal without even an ID card now," Gao Dongxu teased with a smile.

"Fuck——"

Wu Xie, Fatty Wang, and Xiao Hua, who had been frowning and pondering, all glared at Hei Xiazi and swore in unison.

"Hehe—" Black Bear scratched his head, revealing an embarrassed expression, and said with a sheepish smile, "I didn't expect that even Young Master Gao knew these things."

"Hehe, since I've run into you here, why don't you just surrender? I'll consider it a voluntary surrender and try to get lenient treatment. Anyway, ten or twenty years won't make much difference to you, what do you say?" Gao Dongxu said with a smile that turned incredibly sharp in his eyes.

Black Bear's eyes narrowed, a fierce glint flashing within them. His muscles tensed, ready to seize any opportunity to escape.

Yes, escape. He had witnessed the battle between Gao Dongxu and the Ghost General and knew that Gao Dongxu's combat strength was definitely superior to his own. Therefore, even though Gao Dongxu was close at hand, he could make a move at any time to try to capture Gao Dongxu, who was full of weaknesses. All he could think about was how to escape.

He cursed Wu Sansheng in his heart, realizing that he had been ruined by him this time.

"Hehe, don't even think about escaping. Up there—" Gao Dongxu smiled and pointed upwards, continuing, "They're all surrounded by the men I brought. I brought twenty snipers alone, all elite special forces soldiers. So, believe me, without my orders, not even a fly can get out."

Wu Xie, Wang Pangzi, and Xie Yuchen were taken aback, their faces turning pale. Hei Xiazi, however, relaxed completely, and said with a wry smile, "I surrender—"

"Aren't you going to put up a fight? I'm actually looking forward to a match with you. You know, you and Zhang Qiling are some of the few opponents I want to face," Gao Dongxu said with a raised eyebrow and a smile.

Hei Xiazi smiled wryly, "You're a master of internal martial arts; I can't beat you—"

"Hehe, do you think I'd believe that? Fine, if you don't want to fight, then don't. But don't cause any trouble, or else—" Gao Dongxu raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"Understood, I promise to be honest," Black Bear said with a wry smile.

Gao Dongxu smiled and nodded, then looked at Xie Yuchen with a somewhat ardent gaze and said, "Patriarch Xie, I came here on a mission to catch tomb raiders. I didn't expect that Patriarch Xie would also start to return to the old ways of the Nine Gates. I've caught you red-handed."

Upon hearing this, Xie Yuchen, Wu Xie, and Fatty Wang all changed their expressions slightly. Wu Xie hurriedly said, "Young Master Gao, you're not serious, are you?"

"Nonsense, I just got back to Beijing from abroad, and you guys are already having gunfights and bombings here. I haven't even adjusted to the time difference yet, and I've been conscripted. Tell me, am I serious?" Gao Dongxu said with a sneer.

"Young Master Gao, please stop messing with us." Fatty Wang said with a mournful face, his hands clasped together in prayer. "Yeah, Young Master Gao, please stop messing with us. We just discovered an ancient tomb, came down to take a look, and didn't take anything. That doesn't constitute a crime..." Wu Xie said with a wry smile.

"Hehe, but you guys caused the damage," Gao Dongxu chuckled teasingly. "Alright, let's go upstairs and talk about it. Let's tidy up and head back—"

After packing all the antiques into bags, the group left the tomb. Passing by a mysterious figure in black robes who was tightly bound in the tomb passage, Gao Dongxu had Fugui and Erpang carry the figure using the Liquan Spear.

"Click——"

As Fugui and Erpang inserted the Liquan Spear into the knot and lifted the handle, everyone heard a crisp sound of bones breaking.

Wu Xie and Fatty Wang looked at the mysterious man in black robes, whose limbs were twisted but who still didn't move, and couldn't help but twitch their lips.

That's horrible!
Xie Yuchen and Hei Xiazi couldn't help but twitch their lips a few times, thinking to themselves, "They really don't treat each other like human beings."

Returning the way he came, Wu Xie climbed out of the coffin and saw that Zhang Buxun's body, which should have been lying on the ground, was gone. He couldn't help but look at Gao Dongxu and ask, "Young Master Gao, is Zhang Buxun's body with you?"

"Yes." Gao Dongxu didn't hide anything and nodded in acknowledgment.

"This is Zhang Buxun's diary that I found in the tomb—" Wu Xie took a notebook out of his pocket and handed it to Gao Dongxu.

"Hmm, that's thoughtful—" Gao Dongxu took the diary, casually flipped through a couple of pages, and said to Wu Xie with a smile.

Wu Xie chuckled. The reason he gave Gao Dongxu the notebook was to let Gao Dongxu know that the immortality technique in this tomb was a harmful evil technique.

The group climbed out of the ancient tomb smoothly and without any obstacles. As soon as they stood firm, five heavily armed special forces elites jumped out from all around them, led by Leng Feng.

"boss--"

"Did anyone come out earlier?" Gao Dongxu asked Leng Feng with a smile.

"Yes, it's Wu Sansheng and his group. They've all been brought to the camp," Leng Feng reported.

"Hehe, it's good that you stayed. Let's go, let's go see the elusive Master Wu." Gao Dongxu said happily.

Wu Xie's eyes lit up; he was quite pleased to see his third uncle stumble.

The group returned to the camp with bags and packages. Jiang Zisuan immediately went to greet them. When he saw Gao Dongxu, he called him "brother-in-law." A Ning's pretty face blushed and she smiled sweetly.

"Yes, thank you for your hard work these past few days," Gao Dongxu said with a smile and a nod of praise. "Where's Wu Sansheng?"

"Inside the newly erected tent."

"Hehe, let's go take a look—" Gao Dongxu said with a smile as he walked. When he reached the new tent, he opened the curtain and suddenly thought of something. He turned to Ruxin and Ruqing and smiled, saying, "You two go and wake up that man in black robes, and then find out all the information about him, especially about those humanoid puppets."

Ru Xin and Ru Qing immediately understood that Gao Dongxu wanted the two sisters to use the Thirteen Ghost Needles to extract information.

"Understood, we'll go right away—"

Gao Dongxu smiled slightly, reached out and opened the tent flap, leading the rest of the people into the tent.

"Third Uncle, Panzi—" Wu Xie called out as he entered the tent and saw Wu Sansheng sitting in a portable chair.

Wu Sansheng had already stood up to greet Gao Dongxu. Hearing Wu Xie's call, he glanced at Wu Xie and immediately greeted him with a beaming smile, "Young Master Gao—"

"Hehe, it's like we've met again from afar," Gao Dongxu said with a teasing smile, looking at Wu Sansheng.

"Hehe..." Wu Sansheng smiled wryly, looking at Gao Dongxu and sighing, "You, Young Master Gao, are still a cut above the rest."

"Hahaha... I've come here to wipe you all out in one fell swoop, so naturally I've made thorough preparations, making sure not a single one is left behind," Gao Dongxu laughed heartily.

Wu Sansheng's expression changed slightly, but he quickly concealed it, and said with a wry smile, "I hope Young Master Gao can be lenient—"

"Hehe, it's not impossible for me to be lenient, but that depends on whether you, Wu Sansheng, are sincere. If you have money, we can talk things over; if you don't, sorry, we'll handle it officially—" Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

The corners of everyone's mouths twitched involuntarily. Xie Yuchen's eyes lit up, and then he smiled with relief. All the deep thinking he had done along the way had been in vain.
