Chapter 822 Deep Water Crocodile Pool

Yang Xueli, Hu Bayi, and Fatty Wang frowned slightly and exchanged a glance.

Hu Bayi winked at Fatty Wang, who immediately grinned and picked up his glass, saying, "Brother Jin, let's have a drink first—"

"Okay—" Big Gold Tooth also smiled, picked up his wine glass, clinked glasses with Fatty Wang and Hu Bayi, and then took a sip.

"Eat meat, eat meat—" Fatty Wang picked up some hot pot meat with his chopsticks, gesturing for everyone to eat together.

After everyone had taken a couple of bites, Fatty Wang looked at Big Gold Tooth with a grin and said, "Brother Jin, given our relationship, there's no need to hide anything from each other, right? What do you say?"

“Fatty, Hu, we’re sworn brothers, so I won’t harm you. If you trust me, then don’t get involved. If you absolutely have to go, then listen to me, I’ll make arrangements for you. At the very least, the three of you will return safely. I can’t say anything more, and I dare not say anything more.”

Big Gold Tooth felt he had been more than generous in saying all this, and he dared not reveal Gao Dongxu's plan.

"It seems there's more to this than meets the eye," Hu Bayi and Yang Xueli exchanged a glance, then looked at Da Jinya with solemn expressions and said.

"Master Hu, you're right. There's a lot more to this than meets the eye. To be honest, Master Hu, Fatty, this Cloud Top Heavenly Palace is related to a scheme set up by the feng shui master architect Wang Zanghai six hundred years ago. Wang Zanghai was in charge of building the Cloud Top Heavenly Palace. Legend has it that when Wang Zanghai was building the Cloud Top Heavenly Palace, he discovered the secret of the Wan Nu King of the Eastern Xia Kingdom living for several hundred years. It is said that the Cloud Top Heavenly Palace holds the secret of immortality."

It is precisely because of these legends that they have attracted the attention of many top forces and exploration teams around the world, all wanting to find out the truth. To put it simply, the capital city now is like a pond full of crocodiles, all waiting for the auction of the Crescent Hotel to compete for that detailed map.

"The starting price of one hundred million US dollars is just the threshold. Those who can put up one hundred million US dollars to auction off a map of an ancient tomb are not after the gold and silver treasures inside. So, think about it carefully, how deep is the water in here?!" Big Gold Tooth probed indirectly.

"Are there really people who have lived for hundreds of years?" Fatty Wang asked, his eyes gleaming with a sly light.

"Who knows..." Big Gold Tooth shook his head and said. Seeing Hu Bayi and Yang Xueli exchange glances, a strange light flashed in his eyes. He continued, "However, since so many powerful forces believe in it and are willing to spend one hundred million US dollars to buy a map, then this in itself says a lot. At least there are many secrets in this world that we ordinary people do not know."

Just like the Iron-Headed Dragon King we encountered in Dragon Ridge, with its human face and black body—if we hadn't seen it with our own eyes and experienced it firsthand, how could we have believed that such extraordinary monsters existed?

"It really is..." Fatty Wang frowned and nodded, then looked at Hu Bayi.

Hu Bayi then looked at Yang Xueli.

"Mr. Jin, what did you mean when you said you could help us make arrangements?" Yang Xueli asked with a smile, her bright eyes looking at Big Gold Tooth.

"To be honest, you three tomb raiders are definitely the most sought-after professionals in the capital right now. I can introduce you to a powerful team. When you join them, I don't care about anything else, at least your safety can be guaranteed. With more people, you don't have to worry about being ambushed by other forces as soon as you enter the mountains," Big Gold Tooth said, blinking his sly eyes.

"Hehe, you're so loyal, Boss Jin..." Hearing Big Gold Tooth's intention, Fatty Wang and Hu Bayi exchanged a glance and laughed happily, "Come on, let's go—"

As they spoke, the three of them raised their glasses again and took a sip. After putting down their glasses, Hu Bayi glanced at Yang Xueli and then smiled, "Master Jin, we won't lie to you. This time, we're back to hanging talismans and going out of the mountains at someone's request. Our employer is someone who's not short of money... So, we appreciate your kindness."

"Hehe, I knew it. The person who can get the three of you to come must be extraordinary. Can you tell me which company they are? Of course, I can't just leave it at that." Big Gold Tooth's eyes gleamed as he chuckled.

Wang Pangzi and Hu Bayi both looked at Yang Xueli. Yang Xueli hesitated for a moment, met Da Jinya's smiling face, and finally smiled and said, "There's nothing I can't tell you, Master Jin. The reason for re-hanging the talisman this time is because of my family's main family. Have you heard of the Bei family?"

"Good heavens—" Big Gold Tooth exclaimed in shock, staring wide-eyed at Yang Shirley, "So Miss Yang is from the Bei family..."

"I can't be considered a member of the Bei family, I can only be considered a relative," Yang Xueli said calmly.

"Hehe, it has to be Master Jin. He's so knowledgeable. Just hearing about the Bei family, he knows who it is. Unlike me and Lao Hu, who were completely clueless when the Chief of Staff first mentioned it," Fatty Wang joked with a smile.

Hearing Fatty Wang's self-deprecating humor, Big Gold Tooth shook his head and chuckled, while also taking it more seriously.

It's important to know that the Pei family is no ordinary family. When people talk about the Pei family, most think of the great architect I.M. Pei and the first commercial savings bank they founded in the Republic of China era, the Shanghai Bank. However, those who know a little about the Pei family know that they are also a mysterious family with a history of five or six hundred years. It is said that their origins can be traced back to the Yuan Dynasty, when they began to get involved in the medical industry.

Think about it, from the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties to modern times, through countless dynastic changes and upheavals, the Bei family has managed to pass on its legacy for 17 generations. This in itself is a miracle.

Big Gold Tooth speculated that Yang Xueli's maternal grandfather, Partridge Whistle, probably contacted the Bei family after he went to the United States to make money by starting a company and selling prescriptions, elixirs, or pills.

"How many people did you bring this time?" Big Gold Tooth looked at Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang with bright eyes.

Wang Pangzi and Hu Bayi exchanged a glance. Wang Pangzi looked at Big Gold Tooth and said, "To be honest, there are more than twenty people, all of them highly professional explorers..."

Big Gold Tooth nodded with a slight frown, then lowered his voice meaningfully and reminded them, "Your numbers are alright, but you'd better get some better weapons, otherwise you'll really have a hard time getting out of Changbai Mountain..."

"So dangerous?!" Hu Bayi said with a deep frown.

"It will only get more dangerous. Sigh, who knows how many people will perish in the mountains this time..." Big Gold Tooth sighed softly and took a sip of his drink.

"Brother Jin, there's something I don't understand. Such a big thing has already become the talk of the town." Fatty Wang's eyes gleamed as he continued to extract information.

Big Gold Tooth gave a meaningful smile and said, "Hehe, Fatty finally hit the nail on the head. This is also the most important reason why I advised you not to get involved. No, there was no reaction at all, as if you didn't know anything about it."

Now, Hu Bayi, Fatty Wang, and Yang Xueli all looked serious.

"Click——"

Gao Dongxu smiled as he opened the door and walked into the room. He then smiled at Michelle and Ma Lili behind him and said, "Take a look, do you like it?"

"Wow—oh my god, this is exactly what I wanted! Thank you, darling, *kiss*"

Upon seeing the interior design and furniture, Michelle immediately hugged Gao Dongxu's neck happily, stood on tiptoe and gave him a big kiss. Then, like a happy child, she kicked off her high heels, went barefoot, and started running around the room.

Ma Lili frowned slightly as she looked at the design and furniture inside the house; she didn't really like it. A lot of effort had been put into the house's design; the walls and ceiling were full of design elements.

French-style lines paired with Chinese-style wallpaper, along with black and gold-trimmed furniture, give the entire space a luxurious feel. Although there are many design elements, it doesn't feel cluttered; instead, they are harmoniously combined, perfectly matching Michelle's aura.

"Your house is right across the street. We'll go see it later. It was designed according to your requirements, and I'm sure it won't disappoint you," Gao Dongxu said with a smile, reaching out to put his arm around Ma Lili's slender, soft waist.

"You really planned this all along, letting us stay on the same floor, which is convenient for you," Ma Lili said coquettishly.

“Hehe, that’s right—” Gao Dongxu admitted directly, and then, amidst Ma Lili’s coquettish screams, he picked her up and rushed into the bedroom.

Michelle, who was testing the comfort of the Simmons mattress on her large bed in the bedroom with her massive buttocks, saw Gao Dongxu carrying Ma Lili in and said in a coquettish tone, "Can't you two show some respect for me, the lady of the house—"

"it is good--"

Gao Dongxu laughed and threw Ma Lili onto the Simmons mattress, then pounced on Michelle, the hostess.

buzzing-

The phone on the bedside table buzzed and vibrated, as if it had accidentally fallen into water. Michelle stubbed out her cigarette in the ashtray, then reached for the phone and handed it to Gao Dongxu, who was examining the quality of Ma Lili's black sequins. She lazily and coquettishly said, "It really does prove the saying, the richer and more cultured they are, the more perverted they become..."
