In Panjiayuan, the first thing they did was trick Lao Hu into going tomb raiding.

"Master Su..."

Chaos poked his head out and shouted, but as soon as he made a sound, Su Mo gestured for him to be quiet.

Chaos immediately lowered his voice, "Master Su, I'll be leaving now..."

Su Mo nodded, and Chaos drove away.

Su Mo carried Yingzi back to the room. Just as he was about to wash up, his phone rang.

Su Mo glanced down, a smile playing on his lips. "Boss Liu, you're getting on in years, why aren't you asleep yet..."

On the other end of the phone was Secretary Liu.

The relationship between the two is rather complicated.

When Hong Kong returned to China, Su Mo collaborated with Secretary Liu on several occasions.

Nearly twenty years have passed, and the two have maintained a good relationship.

In recent years, Secretary Liu's health has not been very good, so Su Mo has given him many treasures that can prolong life.

Su Mo was well-versed in the Tui Bei Tu (a prophetic text), and did his best to improve Secretary Liu's health.

Although Secretary Liu's identity was special and the two avoided each other quite a bit, after more than twenty years of getting along, no one is without feelings. Although they were not relatives, they were closer than family.

“Su Mo…”

On the other end of the phone, Secretary Liu's voice was heavy, "I couldn't say anything at the time in Warehouse Eleven, but what you did today definitely crossed the line..."

A force of two thousand men, several tons of gasoline, and a truckload of submachine guns—that's enough to wage a small-scale battle!

Su Mo wasn't ungrateful, and besides, what happened today was quite taboo.

Su Mo knew that if it weren't for his efforts and bloodshed during Hong Kong's return to China, and the fact that high-ranking officials in the government remembered their past relationship, things would not have ended so easily today.

Su Mo said, "Old Liu, don't worry, I will never make things difficult for you... In the future, my company will allocate 200 billion yuan within three months to help Yanjing's economic development..."

"........."

On the other end of the phone, Secretary Liu was silent for a while, clearly taken aback by Su Mo's methods.

Su Mo added, "In a few days, I'll leave Yanjing and go to the Xisha Islands to lay low for a while..."

"..."

Secretary Liu was silent for a moment, then laughed and scolded, "You rascal... it's a real shame you're not an official. You, a rogue leader, have completely figured out the ins and outs of officialdom..."

Su Mo grinned, then said in a deep voice, "Old Liu, I can leave, but if anyone dares to touch my sister and daughter, don't blame me for being ruthless..."

When his family was mentioned, Su Mo's attitude remained firm.

"it is good!"

Secretary Liu's voice was very serious, "Don't worry, with me here, no one will dare to harm your family!"

Su Mo nodded, then hung up the phone, letting out a long breath. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Yingzi staring intently at him.

Su Mo pinched Yingzi's nose and said, "Don't think too much, just go to sleep..."

……

a few days later.

At a dock in Xisha.

Old Hu, Fatty and his apprentice, Zhang Yingchuan, Chaos, and others stood behind Su Mo.

Aning, wearing a thin black trench coat and black skinny jeans, stood on the dock welcoming Su Mo.

"..."

When A Ning saw that Su Mo had brought so many people, she was completely bewildered. "Why did you bring so many people? Are you afraid I'll kidnap you?"

Ah Ning had no idea how much trouble Su Mo had caused in Yanjing. Su Mo's arrival in Xisha this time seemed more like an attempt to avoid the limelight.

Su Mo shook his head. "No, it's not that. The old brothers haven't been to a tomb in a long time, so we came out for some fun..."

Did you guys treat this underwater tomb like a shopping trip?

This was the first time Ah Ning had ever been so speechless. After a long silence, she finally spoke again, "There are too many people. My boat can't hold so many..."

Wang Yueban laughed and said, "It's alright, sit with us..."

As he spoke, Wang Yueban pointed into the distance, where a cargo ship, over a hundred meters wide and several tens of meters long, was sailing toward the dock.

This time, Wang Yueban finally experienced what it meant to be "extravagant". Ever since the news came that Su Mo was going to Xisha, the company purchased a cargo ship as quickly as possible.

Buy...not rent!

Moreover, the cargo ship has everything you could want to drink, have fun, and play.

It doesn't look like tomb raiding at all; it looks more like they're here for a visit!

"........."

Looking at the 10,000-ton cargo ship, Aning was speechless.

Before long, the cargo ship docked, and everyone boarded the ship one by one.

Aning then boarded her small yacht.

"Buzz!"

The cargo ship set sail and headed across the ocean. About half an hour later, Aning Company's ship met Su Mo's cargo ship.

Old Hu said, "Brother Su, that woman named Aning is waving at you... and there's a bald guy standing next to her!"

Su Mo subconsciously raised his head, raising an eyebrow, "Zhang Qiling?"

The bald man in his forties was Zhang Qiling. His disguise could fool everyone, but it couldn't fool Su Mo, who possessed the Golden Eyes.

Chapter 196: Zhang Qiling and Wu Xie

"Master Su..."

Standing on the opposite boat, Ah Ning shouted loudly, "Master Su..."

Su Mo got up and went to the deck, looking at the opposite side.

Ah Ning waved, seemingly inviting him over.

Without thinking much, Su Mo leaped into the air, using his light-footed skill to reach A Ning's side. "What is it?"

"..."

Ah Ning glanced at where Su Mo had been standing.

Although the two boats were not far apart, they were still more than 20 meters apart, and Su Mo actually jumped over directly.

Ah Ning blinked and said, "I heard that there is a light-body skill in China called Wudang Ascending the Cloud Ladder... Does Master Su use this move?"

Su Mo said, "More or less... What do you want from me?"

"..."

Ah Ning rolled her eyes. "You're so boring!"

I had intended to ease the tension with this Mr. Su, but I never expected him to be so ungrateful.

Su Mo's lips curled up as he lifted A Ning's chin. "Little girl, you haven't fallen for your Su-ye, have you? You're not that much older than my daughter."

Ah Ning rolled her eyes. "You're such a middle-aged person with a twisted sense of humor. You're so boring..."

"Let's go, let's have a meeting and make a plan..."

After saying that, Aning began to lead the way.

Su Mo followed A Ning to the top floor, and as soon as they reached the door, they saw Wu Xie inside.

Wu Xie stood up and called out, "Master Su!"

Su Mo had done Wu Xie a favor regarding the Snake-Eyebrow Bronze Fish, so Wu Xie treated Su Mo very politely.

Su Mo patted Wu Xie on the shoulder, gesturing for him to sit down.

Wu Xie added, "Master Su, I just received news about the Eleventh Warehouse incident..."

Su Mo smiled. "It's all in the past, let's not talk about it anymore..."

It's not something to be proud of that his sister was tricked, and Su Mo didn't want to discuss this topic with Wu Xie.

Su Mo casually asked, "Why isn't that Hai Shao here..."

Wu Xie said, "It's too dangerous. Because of my third uncle, I don't want my friends to go into dangerous places again..."

Su Mo nodded without saying anything.

The three of them sat down.

Ah Ning looked at Wu Xie and smiled slightly, "Your grandfather's notes say that an archaeological team your third uncle participated in found the location of an underwater tomb!"

"However, something happened midway through, and the underwater tomb was not excavated or salvaged; all related data was also sealed away by the authorities..."

“A few days ago, Wu Sansheng came to us with some documents, showing great sincerity!”

Hearing this, Wu Xie became somewhat angry, "What you said about legal salvage before was also a lie to me..."

"The reason you used this ordinary fishing boat as a search and rescue vessel is because your operation has attracted the attention of the border guards, forcing you to disguise yourself,"

"So you can only save my third uncle secretly, right?"

Ah Ning said nonchalantly, "These are all minor matters to me. Finding your third uncle is the most important thing for us!"

Wu Xie slammed his fist on the table: "Finding my third uncle is important, but this is a matter of principle!"

Su Mo quickly smoothed things over. "It's alright, we've already obtained the necessary legal permits for the salvage operation..."

Su Mo wasn't lying. The reason why Shirley Yang didn't come to Xisha was because she was active in the upper echelons of customs at that time.

Some procedures still need to be completed!

Su Mo looked at Wu Xie and changed the subject, "Your third uncle has disappeared? Not a single word about him?"

Wu Xie looked dejected. "He's been missing for a while now, and there's been no news of him!"

Su Mo chuckled, "It's alright, you'll get used to it eventually..."
