The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

Fang Yun was startled and was about to chase after him to see what was happening. But at that moment, Wang Hai suddenly waved his hand repeatedly at Fang Yun.

"Young Master Fang, come and see! My little sister has grown so much!"

Upon hearing Wang Hai's words, Fang Yun glanced through the window. He saw a young woman, not yet twenty, sitting behind a desk not far away.

Although we can only see her profile, we can still tell that she has a very graceful figure. Moreover, the way Wang Xiaoya holds the book makes her look like a well-bred young lady, exuding a scholarly air.

“When I was very young, my father always praised my sister. He said that the family business would definitely not be handed over to me in the future because I didn’t have the talent for management. My sister, on the other hand, was exceptionally intelligent from a young age and loved reading. She had far more knowledge in her head than I did.”

Wang Hai became so excited when Wang Xiaoya was mentioned that he couldn't stop smiling. Fang Yun, upon hearing this, immediately forgot about the dark figure from earlier.

Perhaps it was someone from the Wang family? Fang Yun gradually dispelled his doubts, and seeing that nothing else happened, he put these things out of his mind.

Just then, when they looked through the window again, they suddenly realized that Wang Xiaoya was gone.

Wang Hai was also taken aback, thinking that Wang Xiaoya had gone somewhere else. But then he saw that the books lying on the ground were clearly not something Wang Xiaoya had accidentally dropped; it looked more like they had been knocked over by someone.

Wang Hai was startled and was about to rush in. Fang Yun grabbed him.

"Wait, don't go in yet. I think I just saw a dark figure go in. If we rush in, we might fall into his ambush."

However, Wang Hai was now emotionally agitated. Seeing that Wang Xiaoya was being threatened, he didn't care about anything else and smashed the window to break in.

Seeing that he was doing this, and knowing that she couldn't dissuade him anyway, Fang Yun had no choice but to rush in with him. They then found Wang Xiaoya with her hands and feet tied up and lying in a corner.

Beside him stood a man in black, holding a dagger, seemingly threatening Wang Xiaoya by saying something.

When Wang Hai and his companion appeared, Wang Xiaoya's face immediately lit up with excitement.

But when she saw Wang Hai shrouded in a cloak, her spirits plummeted. This man was also dressed in a black cloak; could he be an accomplice of the man in black?

Whether it's one person or two, if you can't beat them, you just turn your back on them.

Wang Hai then realized that he was still wearing a cloak, so he quickly lifted the hood to reveal his true appearance.

Wang Xiaoya's eyes widened slightly; the face seemed somewhat familiar, but she couldn't quite place the name.

"Xiaoya, it's me, your brother!"

As soon as Wang Hai spoke, Wang Xiaoya immediately realized what was going on.

"Are you Wang Hai's brother? Is it really you?"

Wang Xiaoya hadn't seen Wang Hai for many years. Although the voice was very familiar, Wang Hai's appearance had indeed changed a lot compared to before. She could only vaguely recognize him, so she wasn't entirely sure.

"It's me, Xiaoya. Don't worry, now that your brother is back, no one will dare to bully you again."

As Wang Hai spoke, his figure flashed like lightning behind the man in black.

The man in black was startled and before he could react, a dagger was already at his neck.

"Tell me, who sent you?" (No, Zhao Hao)

The man in black snapped out of his daze and immediately recognized Wang Hai's identity. He sneered, "You're Wang Hai, right? The old man's eldest son."

"What did you say?" Wang Hai frowned.

"I'm saying you're Wang Tianshan's eldest son, right?"

"So what if it is? I don't need you to remind me."

Wang Hai had no idea what the man in black meant.

"Tell me right now who sent you, or you'll be in big trouble."

"I'm saying if you want to know where your old man is, you'd better be polite to me now. Otherwise, you might never see him again in your lifetime."

Chapter 691 News of Wang Tianshan

"You! I advise you to behave yourself?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Hai became even more agitated. He had been searching for his father's whereabouts, but he never expected it to be related to this man in black. He could no longer contain himself.

The dagger in his hand pierced directly into the skin of the man in black, scraping a bloody mark and drawing out a few drops of bright red blood.

"I'm warning you one last time. Tell me everything you know, or I'll end your life with one blow."

The man in black seemed somewhat dismissive of Wang Hai's threat.

"Do you think it's any use for you to say all this to me now? If you have the guts, then kill me. That way, you'll never see Wang Tianshan again. We're getting tired of that old man anyway, so we'll just kill you two together and bury you in the same place. That would be fair to you both."

As he spoke, the man in black let out a cold laugh.

Sure enough, after hearing what he said, Wang Hai did become somewhat wary.

Just like the assassin organization he belonged to, many of the 973 outlaws, after being killed, not only didn't beg for mercy, but instead only sought a sudden death. They knew that if they leaked information about the organization or were caught red-handed, their deaths might be even more gruesome.

This is why Wang Hai doesn't dare to torture him now. Because this man is now Wang Hai's only clue to finding Wang Tianshan.

"Then tell me, what exactly do you want?"

Wang Hai said in a deep voice.

"It doesn't have to be anything special. Just obediently walk me to the door and watch me leave. If I'm in a good mood later, maybe I can tell you about this."

"Don't push your luck. I can promise you that if you tell me about my father, I can let you go. Otherwise, do you think I'll just let you go? I might as well kill you and wait for your accomplices to come after you."

(bjbd) Hearing Wang Hai say this, the man in black smiled even more broadly.

"Too bad, you can't catch me now."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man in black made a hand seal, similar to a ninjutsu technique from Japan, seemingly a method of escape.

However, after using the incantation, he found himself still standing in the same spot. The man in black frowned and immediately used it again, but when he opened his eyes, he was still standing there, completely unmoved.

At this moment, Fang Yun suddenly stepped forward.

"You were just stalling for time by talking to Wang Hai about so many things, secretly preparing your escape technique, right? Unfortunately, your technique is far too childish."

The man in black's pupils contracted upon hearing this. He saw Fang Yun and asked, "Who are you?"

"Who I am is not important. You should be more concerned about whether you can survive. Didn't you just say that you would commit suicide if we forced you? Well, you can try it now."

As Fang Yun finished speaking, the man in black continued to sneer.

"If I really wanted to die, could you possibly stop me?"

The man in black then attempted to detonate a pill hidden beneath his stomach. This pill could temporarily cause a person to faint, putting them in a state of suspended animation.

Compared to the past, when one had to swallow the pill directly in front of others, these poison pills are now much more concealed, making them even harder to guess.

However, when the man in black tried to use his true energy to activate the pill, he found that the true energy in his meridians had begun to solidify.

But when he pushed harder twice more, there was still no response, which puzzled him greatly.

"Didn't I just tell you? You can't escape at all, because I've sealed off this entire area. Think about it, if I can seal off the entire world, surely I can seal off the meridians in your body?"

Upon hearing Fang Yun's words, the man in black immediately sensed the faint pressure emanating from the vicinity, and his eyes widened in shock.

He wasn't fearless; he was simply gambling with his opponent. His goal was to find a way to survive without revealing any information.

"Alright, if you really wanted to die, you wouldn't have kept playing these tricks on us. Now put away your fantasies and tell us everything, or I'll make sure you die a horrible death."

Fang Yun suddenly extended his five fingers, then clenched his fist. The man in black, seeing Fang Yun's hand, felt his heart clench, as if Fang Yun's empty fingers were holding his own heart.

"Well, my patience is very limited. If you really can't hold on, I won't force you."

"Okay, I say!"

“Wang Tianshan is indeed in our hands, but he is with my superior, and I don’t know his exact location.”

Upon hearing this, the man in black noticed Fang Yun's expression and quickly continued.

"However, there is another important piece of news."

Chapter 692 Siege

In the end, Fang Yun let the man go. He realized that he couldn't get any valuable information out of him, and even if he did, it wasn't very credible.

Wang Hai was still somewhat unwilling, after all, this person was related to his father's existence, and he had to save his father, otherwise, if he waited until nightfall, it would probably be too late to save him.

"Alright, don't worry. I let him go on purpose just now to see where he would go. Now let's follow him."

Wang Hai's spirits lifted upon hearing this.

"Young Master Fang, I'll do whatever you say. As long as you can help me rescue my father, I, Wang Hai, will follow you wholeheartedly."

Wang Hai has now witnessed Fang Yun's wisdom and strategy. Not only are his methods skillful, but he is also intelligent. Such a person is hard to come by. If he works for him in the future, it will not be a loss for him.

Just as the two were about to leave, Wang Xiaoya called out from behind.

"Brother, aren't you taking me with you? I want to go with you to save Father."

Wang Hai smiled and said, "You're a young lady, so don't come with us. If you get caught later, you'll only distract us. Just stay home and wait for our good news."

When Wang Xiaoya heard what Wang Hai said, she didn't know what to say and could only nod in agreement.

Fang Yun then followed the marks left on that person and headed southeast.

As they walked further and further, Wang Hai realized that the two of them were about to enter the mountains.

"I wonder who these people are. They actually built their lair in such a remote mountain area. It seems they have big plans."

Seeing the pitch-black expanse ahead, Wang Hai became more alert. Fortunately, he was a top-tier assassin and accustomed to operating in such dark environments.

Otherwise, even if a martial arts master came here, he would probably find it difficult to unleash his full strength under these circumstances.

"We should be careful. Since the other side has chosen this place as their base, they must have their own plans. They will certainly have plenty of traps and surveillance methods."
