The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

Fang Yun nodded, then quickly went downstairs and headed towards the alley.

When the two met again alone, the girl was clearly much more reserved than before, fidgeting with something between her two fingers, appearing somewhat uneasy.

"What was that important news you just mentioned?"

Chapter 565 An Astonishing Secret

Fang Yun didn't hesitate and went straight to the point. He didn't have much time to waste.

"It's about Bai Fan, the senior brother of mine who wanted to befriend you."

"Oh." Fang Yun had initially thought it was about those professional assassins, but it turned out to be about Bai Fan, which immediately dampened his interest.

Bai Fan and I had only met by chance; what was there for me to know about him?

"Don't think this has nothing to do with you. Let me tell you the truth, my senior brother is not as he seems on the surface. He deliberately befriended you just because he's interested in your swordsmanship, so he can trick you into joining him later."

Fang Yun was taken aback upon hearing this: "Is that so?"

"If you don't believe me, that's fine. Let me put it this way: my name is Qin Hongmu, and my father's name is Qin Ling. He was also the head of the Jingtao Martial Arts School, but he fell ill later, and the Jingtao Martial Arts School fell into chaos."

“Elder Wang Lin, the law enforcement officer, and several of his accomplices were planning to take advantage of my father’s illness to quietly dismantle his power in the martial arts school, including sending me away.”

“My senior brother was naturally in cahoots with them. He said he didn’t want to go after those assassins, but he just wanted to take advantage of us leaving so he could loot the martial arts school by himself.”

Fang Yun was slightly surprised: "Is what you said true?"

Qin Hongmu shook his head helplessly and sighed, "It's fine if you don't believe me. After all, you have nothing to do with our Jingtao Martial Arts School. Even if something really happens, you can just leave, and they won't be able to find you again."

Fang Yun saw that Qin Hongmu's expression didn't seem fake, and she had no reason to lie to him, so he was already about 80% convinced.

"Although I don't know what your purpose is in coming here, this is definitely not a good place. You'd better not get involved."

At this point, Qin Hongmu seemed a little tired and turned to leave, but Fang Yun grabbed her hand as if possessed, and the two immediately stepped back as if electrocuted.

"I just want to ask you, aren't you in danger in this environment? If, as you say, your father is now ill again, and several elders have ulterior motives, your situation will be very dangerous."

"So what? It's my own business."

Qin Hongmu shook his head and prepared to leave. Fang Yun was about to speak when a car horn suddenly sounded from not far away.

A man stepped out of a white van not far away. He was wearing a sea cucumber gray coat, and Fang Yun immediately recognized him as Elder Wang Lin.

As Fang Yun looked over, Wang Lin was clearly also somewhat taken aback, wondering why Fang Yun was there.

Their eyes met in mid-air, and Wang Lin's gaze was filled with a chilling intent, as if he wanted to devour Fang Yun, and was full of a strong warning.

"Kid, didn't I tell you to stay away from anything and anyone at the Jingtao Martial Arts School? Otherwise, you won't be able to bear the consequences."

Fang Yun said calmly, "What, can't I even exchange a few words with Miss Qin? Is this Miss Qin's rule, or yours?"

Upon hearing Fang Yun's question, Wang Lin fell silent, only glaring fiercely at Fang Yun before turning his gaze to Qin Hongmu.

"Miss, we've already spoken with Young Master Tianhai. It would be best if you stayed home as much as possible during this time."

Without saying much, Qin Hongmu silently got into the van. The moment the door closed, Fang Yun could see a hesitant look in Qin Hongmu's eyes, tinged with a hint of helplessness.

Inside the car, Wang Lin looked very unhappy, his eyebrows furrowed tightly.

“Where did that kid come from? If it weren’t for the fact that private fights are prohibited in our black market, I would have killed him just for daring to glare at me.”

Qin Hongmu coldly said, "He was just an ordinary passerby who happened to run into me, and you're going to kill him, Yu?"

Wang Lin didn't respond, but solemnly said, "Miss, I hope you understand your current identity. You are representing the Jingtao Martial Arts School to arrange a marriage with Young Master Tianhai. If any bad news about you gets out during this time, it will not be good news for the martial arts school or your father."

Wang Lin deliberately emphasized the last sentence, causing Qin Hongmu to fall silent.

After returning to Jingtao Martial Arts School, Wang Lin did not stop the car at the main gate, but instead went around to the side gate before dropping Qin Hongmu off.

"Your second uncle is waiting for you inside. He has something to tell you."

Wang Lin told Qin Hongmu to go first, while he followed behind. After Qin Hongmu entered through the side door, he found a man who looked to be in his forties and dressed rather elegantly sitting at a tea table in the center of the courtyard, drinking tea.

This is Qin Shan, Qin Hongmu's second uncle.

"You were looking for me?" Qin Hongmu asked.

Qin Shan nodded, a slight smile in his eyes, and said, "I'm here to discuss the matter of Young Master Tianhai. I heard they hope to send you to get married as soon as possible."

Chapter 566 Coercion

Upon hearing these words, Qin Hongmu trembled slightly, but he did not say anything more.

Wang Lin, seeing Qin Hongmu's performance, was quite pleased with himself.

Qin Hongmu had initially been very resistant, but when the glory days of Jingtao Martial Arts School were over and her father was seriously ill, she had no choice.

Because everyone was telling her that only Young Master Tianhai could save them, and that Young Master Tianhai was originally from a prestigious family, so her marriage to him would be a great thing.

Even if the other party has excellent qualities, Qin Hongmu has never met them or had any interaction with them. Why should she be expected to obey them? Qin Hongmu has always been firmly opposed to this, but now she is on the verge of a breakdown.

“Hongmu, you know we’re facing a lot of difficulties right now. If you marry him, Young Master Tianhai will be a lifesaver for us. Don’t worry, Young Master Tianhai is a well-known good person, he will treat you well.”

Qin Shan spoke earnestly from the side.

Although he disliked his second uncle very much, what could Qin Hongmu do now?

Just then, a burst of laughter came from outside the side door: "Brother Wang, Brother Qin, you've got a really good plan."

Upon hearing the sound, Wang Lin and Qin Shan were both startled and immediately assumed a defensive stance, their eyes fixed on the doorway.

Then, two middle-aged men led the way, followed by several young men who walked in gracefully.

These people all wore matching clothes, and they seemed to be from some martial arts school.

"Yang Dongsheng?"

Wang Lin looked surprised.

"Your Yangwei Martial Arts School is doing just fine, what brings you here today?"

"Haha, Wang Lin, Qin Shan, don't think that just because you moved the Jingtao Martial Arts School to the black market I won't dare to touch you. You'll have to pay for all the ugly things you did before."

Upon hearing this, Qin Hongmu was stunned, never expecting that there was such a reason behind his martial arts school.

After Yang Dongsheng finished speaking, his gaze shifted to Qin Hongmu, and he clicked his tongue a few times, saying, "So, Qin Ling finally has such a beautiful daughter, and you're going to sell her? I heard she's going to be sold to Lu Tianhai, right? Don't you know what kind of person that Lu is? Sending her there is just pushing her into a fire pit."

"Shut up!" Qin Shan said angrily, "Yang Dongsheng, you only dare to talk badly about people behind their backs. If Young Master Tianhai were here, would you still dare to speak so arrogantly?"

Yang Dongsheng remained silent, his face full of a cold smile, which made Wang Lin unable to stand still.

"Yang Dongsheng, what brings you here? Let me tell you, this is our territory. If you dare to cause trouble, I guarantee you won't be leaving!"

Yang Dongsheng smiled and said, "If I were coming alone, I would naturally have to think twice, but look who they are."

As he spoke, Yang Dongsheng stepped aside, revealing the middle-aged man behind him.

Wang Lin and Qin Shan both gasped in shock when they saw (bjbd). Wasn't this Xue Qiang, the owner of the Alien Boxing Gym? At this moment, he was wearing a cow horn-gray ring on his hand. Legend has it that with just these few rings, Xue Qiang managed to kill a fierce tiger.

Wang Lin already knew that the visitors were up to no good, but he still calmly said, "Yang Dongsheng, if you had come a little earlier, we might have been a little afraid of you, but let me tell you the truth, Young Master Tianhai will be here today to present his betrothal gifts, and I don't know when he will arrive."

"But I don't need to say what will happen to you once Young Master Tianhai arrives, do I?"

Wang Lin grinned maliciously, but Yang Dongsheng clapped his hands, and several more people rushed in from outside the door. These people were carrying magical artifacts that looked like Bagua plates.

"Therefore, we are going to practice a formation today to finish this quickly. You can all just wait to die!"

Upon seeing this situation, Wang Lin's instinct was to jump over the wall and escape, but a piece of Qin redwood was still below, so he had no choice but to stand still.

He had promised Young Master Tianhai that if Qin Hongmu suffered any injury, his fate would be ten times worse than it is now.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Wang Lin gritted his teeth and stayed. As long as he could take Qin Hongmu away when the opportunity arose, he would consider it a victory.

Meanwhile, Fang Yun did not leave the Jingtao Martial Arts School. He just wandered around and soon spotted the white van parked next to a side door.

If that were all, Fang Yun might not have been curious. However, several black cars were parked not far away, and several men in black were looking around beside them. This made Fang Yun secretly wonder if something had happened.

If that's the case, then he can't just ignore it, especially since Qin Hongmu's words just now did indeed evoke a bit of sympathy in him.

For Qin Hongmu, a girl, this situation was indeed too harsh. If she hadn't encountered this, it wouldn't have mattered, but now that she had, she absolutely couldn't stand idly by.

This is Fang Yun's principle.

Chapter 567 Astonishment

"Yang Dongsheng, I'll remind you one last time: if you continue to cause trouble here, you'll all be finished once Young Master Tianhai arrives!"

"Then you can try and see if Lu Tianhai arrives faster, or if you die faster."

As he spoke, Yang Dongsheng gave a look to the others, and Xue Qiang and several other young men immediately surrounded them, all looking at them with unfriendly eyes.

Wang Lin panicked and immediately pulled one of his most capable disciples aside and whispered in his ear, "I'll create chaos later, then you take Miss Qin and leave immediately, get out of here as far away as possible."

"And what about you?" the disciple asked in astonishment.

"Once Miss leaves, it will be much easier for me to leave. Stop talking nonsense and remember your mission. If necessary, even if it costs you your life, you must let Miss go first."

"Yes." Seeing Wang Lin's fierce eyes, the young man lowered his head.

Then, Wang Lin began to circulate his internal energy, and a grayish-white aura gradually condensed in his palm. Yang Dongsheng, who was opposite him, could only sneer.

"A mere trick, Wang Lin. I've seen you holed up here all these years and haven't made a name for yourself."

Just then, Wang Lin suddenly made a pushing motion forward, and the gray-white ball exploded in mid-air, turning into a cloud of mist.

"Quickly, take the young lady away!" Wang Lin shouted urgently.
