Chapter 620 Ruthless and Capable
"Good morning, Director Luo—"

Gao Dongxu glanced at the time on his watch; it was just past 7 a.m. This was the perfect time to call Director Luo and wake him up.

Sure enough, judging from Director Luo's voice on the phone, Gao Dongxu was still half asleep, and the fact that he couldn't sleep in made him feel much better.

"Don't worry, the ancient tomb has been preserved. However, don't expect any burial goods. The tomb was turned into a secret base by a warlord during the Republic of China era. But we did manage to get some interesting things..."

Dangerous? Of course it's dangerous. A huge horde of ghost soldiers, and one incredibly strong ghost general... It's already been recorded; you can watch it yourself when you get back to the capital.

Tomb raiders? Heh, we'll catch them all and send them to rest in peace in the mountains.

While listening to Gao Dongxu's smiling report in Beijing, Director Luo's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he couldn't help but sigh at Gao Dongxu's ruthlessness.

"You leave a team to protect the ancient tomb, and I will have the local cultural relics protection bureau send people over as soon as possible to carry out emergency protection."

Although he already knew that there were no valuable burial objects in the ancient tomb, Director Luo still believed that the ancient tomb was worth excavating and protecting. It was coveted by so many tomb raiders, and if he spent some time on archaeological research, he might be able to find some hidden treasures. Moreover, the purposes of archaeology and tomb raiding are worlds apart.

"And what about the corpses of those ghost soldiers and generals? Are they still in the tomb? Why weren't they brought out? Were they worthless?"

Listening to Gao Dongxu's answer, Director Luo felt that the other party was wasteful and didn't cherish what he had.

“Those mummies are still in the tomb. If you have any ideas, you can have the local cultural relics protection bureau collect them and send them to the capital. I can’t take them by plane.”

"That's all for now. I'll give you a detailed report when I get back to Beijing. There are many things that can't be explained over the phone. However, this trip was quite fruitful, so it wasn't a waste of time." Gao Dongxu didn't want to listen to Director Luo's rambling, so he simply reassured him and hung up after saying a few perfunctory words.

So many people died in an ancient tomb, Gao Dongxu must report this to Director Luo and ask him to clean up his mess.

"Leng Feng, go and tell them to leave a team to be stationed in Misty Village below, until the Cultural Relics Protection Bureau comes to take over. In the meantime, have them keep an eye on the ancient tomb," Gao Dongxu said to Leng Feng.

"Okay." Leng Feng nodded and quickly left.

Gao Dongxu looked at Wu Xie and the others and said, "Let's go, let's get out of this hellhole—"

The group began to walk out of Misty Village, and their speed in leaving the mountain was naturally much faster than when they entered it.

Around 10 a.m., the group emerged from the deep mountains and stood on the mountainside, where they could already see the road at the foot of the mountain.

"Zisuan, take two men and go ahead to see if Jude Kao's men have arrived yet."

Everyone sat on the ground to rest. During this time, Gao Dongxu called Jiang Zisuan over and gave him instructions.

“Okay—” Jiang Zisuan responded without any hesitation, and led the two people he had just turned to the enemy, along with binoculars, to quickly explore ahead.

A-Ning thoughtfully handed Gao Dongxu a bottle of water. Gao Dongxu smiled, took the water, drank a few sips, and then looked at the silent Xie Lianhuan and said with a smile, "We'll see how you perform in a bit."

“Without Zhang Buxun’s body, Jude Kao would never have been able to pay the money,” Xie Lianhuan said to Gao Dongxu with a wry smile.

"Hehe, who said there's no Zhang Buxun's body? Don't worry, I'll give you Zhang Buxun's body in a bit. After you and Jude Kao complete the transaction, I'll lead my men out and wipe out Jude Kao's men. You'd better keep a close eye on Zhang Buxun's body. If anything goes wrong, I'll hold you responsible." Gao Dongxu looked at Xie Lianhuan with a sly smile and threatened him.

Jie Lianhuan wore a bitter smile, his resentment towards Gao Dongxu growing stronger.

He had already regarded Gao Dongxu as his most formidable enemy. Everyone said that Zhang Dafoye of the Nine Gates was powerful, but in Xie Lianhuan's opinion, Gao Dongxu was even more powerful and troublesome than Zhang Dafoye.

The key issue is that Gao Dongxu is even more shameless and has no bottom line. Coupled with his wealth, power, and his formidable martial prowess and intelligence, Xie Lianhuan really doesn't know how to deal with such a scoundrel.

Half an hour later, Jiang Zisuan returned with the intelligence, and Jude Kao's men were already waiting on the road on the side of the mountain.

Eight people, two black SUVs, but Jude Kao was nowhere to be seen.

What a cowardly old fox! Gao Dongxu felt a pang of regret upon hearing that he hadn't seen Jude Kao.

He was even thinking of using this opportunity to directly help Jude Kao get out of trouble.

In Gao Dongxu's view, whether it was the Zhang family or the Wang family, their fierce fighting was an internal conflict. However, Jude Kao, that old American, was a typical external conflict. His reach towards China needed to be completely cut off, so that he would die with resentment and unwillingness.

Gao Dongxu got up and led Fugui and Erpang into the woods. After a while, the three of them returned with Zhang Buxun's body wrapped in a blanket.

Jie Lianhuan stared at Zhang Buxun's corpse lying on the ground, his face full of suspicion and astonishment.

He was curious about where Zhang Buxun's body had been placed, but Gao Dongxu naturally didn't need to explain. To be honest, not only Jie Lianhuan was curious, but Xiao Hua and Hei Xiazi were too.

As for Wu Xie and Fatty Wang, they naturally knew that Gao Dongxu had the extraordinary ability to store things.

“Alright, I’ll have Fugui come with you. He’ll carry Zhang Buxun’s body. Now, you can go and make contact with Jude Kao’s men. Once Jude Kao’s money arrives, touch your hair, and we’ll make our move. Any questions?” Gao Dongxu said to Xie Lianhuan again.

Jie Lianhuan smiled wryly and said, "No problem, I'll touch my head as soon as the money arrives."

“Let’s go, give a good performance. I’ve already booked a private jet to fly to Beijing. Jude Kao’s ten million can cover the expenses. I must say, it’s really great to enjoy myself without spending my own money—” Gao Dongxu raised an eyebrow and smiled.

Everyone chuckled and shook their heads. They all knew that Gao Dongxu was a super-rich man who was truly not short of money, but Gao Dongxu's greedy behavior at this moment left them speechless and at a loss for words.

Jie Lianhuan, along with Pan Zi (who was unaware of his true identity) and Fugui (who was carrying Zhang Buxun's corpse), quickly left and went down the mountain.

Gao Dongxu then summoned Leng Feng and whispered a few words in his ear. Leng Feng nodded and immediately went to arrange the ambush.

After Xie Lianhuan had been gone for more than ten minutes, Gao Dongxu got up and led the group down the mountain.

In the quiet woods, Gao Dongxu held binoculars, watching on the distant mountain path where Jie Lianhuan was talking to Jude Kao's men. He watched as Jie Lianhuan took the phone from the other man, smiled brightly, and said something before returning the phone. He then waved for Fugui to come forward and examine Zhang Buxun's body. After confirming that it was correct, Fugui held the phone and said something.

About ten minutes later, Gao Dongxu saw Xie Lianhuan take out his phone to check it, then smile happily. After saying a few words to the other party, he had Fugui put Zhang Buxun's body on the back seat of the other party's car.

"action--"

When Gao Dongxu saw Xie Lianhuan touching his hair, he immediately raised his hand and gave an order into the walkie-talkie.

The next moment, the hidden crowd saw Jude Kao's men opposite Jie Lianhuan get their heads blown off.

"Tsk tsk... Watching a headshot up close like this, I hope you don't have nightmares." Gao Dongxu, holding binoculars, looked at Xie Lianhuan, who was so frightened that he lay flat on the ground, and teased him.

Everyone's lips twitched involuntarily; they were truly speechless at Gao Dongxu's perverse sense of humor.

No matter how well-trained Jude Kao's men were, being prepared and lying in ambush turned them into lambs to the slaughter, struck by merciless bullets.

Soon, the mountain path was littered with corpses, and no one escaped.

"All killed, none escaped. Over!"

Leng Feng's voice came through the walkie-talkie. Gao Dongxu, who had been watching the whole process through binoculars, smiled and said, "Let's go down and take a look."

At this moment, Xie Lianhuan, who was lying face down with his head in his hands, had blood splattered all over his face. He looked up at the corpses lying on the ground, their eyes wide open in death, and his heart was filled with turbulent emotions.

That's incredibly ruthless!

Xie Lianhuan wasn't inexperienced in killing; he considered himself a ruthless man. However, he was genuinely terrified of someone like Gao Dongxu, who killed without hesitation and treated human life like dirt.

Is this the ruthlessness and magnanimity of those in power?

When Gao Dongxu arrived at the scene with his group, Wu Xie and Wang Pangzi looked at the corpses and blood all over the ground, their faces turned pale, and they couldn't bear it. They ran to the side and vomited.

Xiao Hua's complexion wasn't much better; it was also pale and unsightly. Her deep eyes stared at the expressionless and seemingly unaffected A Ning, the three women who were deeply in love, and the smiling Gao Dongxu.

The usually jovial Hei Xiazi's expression turned serious as he smelled the strong stench of blood. He frowned slightly, looking at Gao Dongxu with a chill in his heart.

"Ding--"

Gao Dongxu lit a cigarette with a lighter, watched as Leng Feng directed his men to drag the body aside, and collected more than a dozen weapons and magazines from the corpse. He said, "Notify the convoy to come and pick us up."

"Okay." Leng Feng nodded in response. From yesterday until now, Leng Feng felt like he had returned to the Wolf Warriors.

"What, do you think I'm too ruthless?" Gao Dongxu asked casually as he looked at Wu Xie and Fatty Wang, who were pale, vomiting profusely, and looking like they wanted to say something but couldn't.

"Hehe, how could that be? Young Master Gao, Tianzhen and I know you very well..." Fatty Wang hurriedly said with a smile, worried that Wu Xie might say something wrong.

"Hehe, those who are not of our kind are bound to have different hearts. I want to make an example of them to show foreigners like Jude Kao who cause trouble within the Celestial Empire and steal and plunder our treasures that I really dare to slaughter them." Gao Dongxu said with a smile in front of everyone, smoking a cigarette, his white teeth shining brightly in the sunlight.
