The moment Zhang Qiling's hand was grasped by Xiao Tongtong's small hand, he felt a tremor run through his body, and his cold heart was melted.

He had lived for over a hundred years and had never experienced such a wonderful feeling.

Her gaze involuntarily fell on Xiaotongtong, softening.

Then he slowly squatted down.

Looking at the adorable little baby in front of him, he wanted to reach out and touch her, but his hand suddenly stopped halfway through. He had never interacted with children before and didn't know how to get along with them.

Just as Zhang Qiling was at a loss, Xiao Tongtong suddenly pounced on him and hugged his neck tightly.

"Daddy, hug me!" she said in a childish voice.

Zhang Qiling was stunned for a long time, and it was unclear what he was thinking. After a while, he said, "Okay."

Although it's just a single, simple word, it becomes exceptionally gentle.

Wu Tianjiao and the others watching from the side were dumbfounded.

They thought the guy was aloof and didn't like to talk, but they never expected him to have such a gentle side.

For the rest of the time, Xiao Tongtong seemed to be glued to Zhang Qiling.

She wouldn't come down no matter what. No matter how Wu Tianjiao coaxed her, she wouldn't come down, making Wu Tianjiao quite jealous, feeling that this daughter wasn't his own but Zhang Qiling's.

“Tongtong asked Daddy to hold her for a moment, and then hug her. Look how pitiful Daddy is. Daddy hasn’t seen Tongtong for a long time, has he?”

"No, I won't." Instead of getting down, she hugged him tighter and tighter.

"You little brat, are you coming down or not?"

"Godfather, he was mean to me."

The young man glared at him, and Wu Tianjiao immediately changed his expression to a friendly one.

"Tongtong, you are Daddy's most beloved daughter, how could Daddy possibly scold you?"

He clapped his hands and said, "Come here, let Daddy give you a hug. Godfather has been holding you for more than three hours. Godfather must be tired too, right?"

"I'm not tired," Zhang Qiling replied to Wu Tianjiao in a serious tone.

Wu Tianjiao froze instantly.

But what could he do? Wu Tianjiao was really puzzled; this young man usually seemed quiet and reserved, so how could he be so attractive to children?

Do children all like deep, brooding men? Should I become more deep and brooding myself?

"OK, you win."

Wu Tianjiao found it uninteresting and had no choice but to give up. However, this was actually a good omen. The young man appeared and disappeared without a trace, and he didn't carry any communication devices, so it was impossible to contact him.

He likes Xiaotong so much; perhaps she will be a source of concern for him in the future. Although the young man is the head of the Zhang family, he has no relatives and had a tragic childhood.

He probably never felt loved by his family growing up. The appearance of Xiao Tongtong now fills that void. Of course, Xiao Tongtong isn't his only family; Wu Tianjiao, Wu Xie, Fatty, and others are both his brothers and family.

The next day, Wu Xie called.

They said his third uncle had disappeared.

He didn't know exactly when he disappeared. Yesterday afternoon, he flew back to Lin'an and went straight to his third uncle's house after getting off the plane, but no matter how much he knocked on the door, Wu Sansheng wouldn't open it for him.

He went there this morning, but the door was still closed. Most importantly, Wu Xie tried calling Wu Sansheng, but no one answered.

He then found a key in a flowerpot and entered Wu Sansheng's house. Wu Xie said that Wu Sansheng's house had many precious antique jade ornaments, and he never had the habit of leaving a spare key outside. It was obvious that this key must have been left for him.

Afterwards, Wu Xie went into Wu Sansheng's house and found that not only was Wu Sansheng nowhere to be seen, but even his clothes in the closet were gone.

Afterwards, Wu Xie found a note left for him by Wu Sansheng in the cabinet.

The inscription reads, "Another bronze fish with snake-like eyebrows has reappeared in the world. This concerns the life and death of the Wu family. Do not worry."

These few simple words contain a multitude of mysteries.

This was especially devastating for Wu Xie, who is extremely curious.

"Wu Xie, listen to me. Calm down and wait and see. Maybe in a few days, your third uncle will contact you. Don't be anxious and learn to be patient."

"You can call me anytime if anything happens." After comforting Wu Xie, Wu Tianjiao hung up the phone. With Wu Sansheng's disappearance, Wu Tianjiao knew that the plot of "The Lost Tomb 2: The Wrath of the Sea" was about to begin.

In the novel *The Lost Tomb*, the story of *The Lost Tomb 2: The Wrath of the Sea* can be considered both the beginning and the end of the entire series. The mysterious underwater tomb in the Xisha Islands holds countless secrets.

In his previous life, Wu Tianjiao read the "Hidden Sands in the Angry Sea" chapter many times, but he never figured out the secrets hidden within.

Now is the perfect opportunity to make up for the regrets of the past. "Honey, Lao Hu and the others have told me about Wu Xie and the others. There are many forces involved, and I don't want you to put yourself in danger."

Shirley Yang sat down next to Wu Tianjiao and hugged his arm as she spoke.

Wu Tianjiao smiled. "It's alright. Don't you trust my abilities? Some things can be left undone, but others cannot. You don't need to worry about me; you just need to stay home and take good care of our daughter."

Speaking of his daughter, Wu Tianjiao suddenly remembered something, "Oh no, the young man might have run away again."

Wu Tianjiao quickly got out of bed and ran to the room where his brother had stayed the night before.

They found that there was only one plush toy left on the bed, and the toy still had a tag on it, so it was obvious that the delivery guy bought it for Tongtong.

Wu Tianjiao looked out the window and fell silent for a long time.

Three days later.

Wu Xie was still asleep in his room when he had a terrible nightmare.

I dreamt of my third uncle.

In his dream, his third uncle stood alive in front of him, but the next second, his third uncle gradually turned into a zombie.

With a start, Wu Xie woke up from his nightmare, breaking out in a cold sweat.

This wasn't the first time he'd had this nightmare. Ever since his third uncle left a note and disappeared, he'd been having this recurring nightmare.

Wu Xie believed this was an ominous sign.

It's highly likely that something happened to Uncle Three. Wu Xie quickly took out his phone and dialed Uncle Three's number, but the phone was still switched off, just like a few days ago.

Flying Deer, Chapter: News of the Xisha Undersea Tomb

Wu Xie grew increasingly anxious, and he was just about to make another call to try again.

The phone rang first, but it wasn't Uncle Three calling back; it was an unfamiliar number that Wu Xie had never seen before.

Upon seeing this unfamiliar number, Wu Xie suddenly felt a sense of unease, fearing that the caller might bring him bad news about his third uncle.

"Hello, hello, who is this?" Wu Xie answered the phone, his voice filled with tension.

"Mr. Wu, I am Aning."

Ah Ning's voice came through the phone.

"A-Ning?"

Wu Xie was slightly taken aback.

"How did you get my phone number? You want the Snake-Eyebrow Bronze Fish, huh? Let me tell you, don't even think about it."

Actually, Wu Xie had a pretty good impression of A Ning.

Surrounded and pursued by a tomb raiding gang, Ah Ning saved him from the guns of her men, no matter what his reasons were.

Therefore, Wu Xie has always been grateful to her.

But ever since Chen Chengcheng's incident was exposed, Wu Xie saw through A Ning's true colors. They were all liars, none of them had any good intentions. Everyone who approached him had an ulterior motive.

After saying that, Wu Xie was about to hang up the phone, but at that moment A Ning suddenly spoke up.

“Mr. Wu, you’ve been looking for your third uncle lately, right? We know where your third uncle is. He’s the one who sent us to find you.”

"My third uncle sent you to find me? You actually tried to lie to me? Do you think I would believe you?" After saying that, Wu Xie was about to hang up the phone again.

“Xisha Island, underwater tomb, snake-browed bronze fish,” Aning said again.

"An underwater tomb? A bronze fish with snake-like eyebrows?" Wu Xie was stunned. He knew that his third uncle's disappearance was related to the bronze fish with snake-like eyebrows.

"What else do you know? Tell me." Wu Xie was a little anxious.

“A few days ago, your third uncle came to my boss and said that he had discovered a large tomb on Xisha Island and hoped to cooperate with us to dig it up. We agreed, but when we were halfway through the survey on the island, your third uncle mysteriously disappeared. He left us a note saying that we should come to find you and that we would split the contents of the tomb in half.”

"I don't need the things in the tomb. Just tell me what the snake-browed bronze fish is all about? Did my third uncle tell you that there's a snake-browed bronze fish in the underwater tomb?"

Wu Xie asked in a cold voice.

"Of course not. Your third uncle is cunning and shrewd; how could he possibly tell us such things? We deduced it ourselves through clues. So, Mr. Wu, we've already told you our biggest secret. Isn't that enough sincerity? Would you consider cooperating with us?"

At this moment, Wu Xie had countless questions in his mind.

Why did Uncle Three turn back halfway? Where did he go after disappearing on Xisha Island?

Why did Uncle Three send A-Ning and the others to find him again? Could this be another trap set by A-Ning? And the underwater tomb in the Xisha Islands... Wu Xie felt a strange familiarity with it, as if Uncle Three had mentioned it to him before.

"Give me half a day to think about it, and I'll give you an answer after that," Wu Xie said.

"Okay, Mr. Wu, I hope I can hear the answer I want to hear then." After hanging up the phone, Wu Xie called Wu Tianjiao.

Wu Tianjiao pondered for a moment, "Since you are so eager to find your third uncle, why not trust her this once?"

Wu Xie nodded. "Actually, that's what I was thinking too, but Brother Tian, ​​I'm a little worried about A Ning and the others. Can you come with me?"

Don't worry, you won't have gone for nothing; I'll give you compensation.

"Okay, my reward is at least five million. Do you have that?"
