Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 274 Preparing to Enter the Tomb
Before long, Hu Ming and Yin Nanfeng arrived in Changsha.

However, looking at the gates of Changsha, Hu Ming did not choose to go in.

Instead, they followed the map to a desolate area outside the city.

This is the ancestral graveyard of the Hong family.

"Huh, that's strange. Logically speaking, after half a century, this place should be overgrown with weeds by now. How come..."

"I don't believe that half a century later, those Red Guards who stayed here will still remember the Red Family."

Here, it's clear that someone is regularly tidying up; everything is clean and neat.

Even in front of one tombstone, there were traces of incense and candles left from a sacrificial ceremony.

“It’s not them. Time is the most ruthless thing. After half a century of no contact, they have long forgotten the Hong family. That’s only natural.”

"The person doing all this is someone else, a local tyrant."

Hu Ming didn't seem to care about the Hong family members staying in Changsha.

He also knew who had done all of this.

"Fine, I don't think I'll get anything out of you. Just the two of us? How are we going to bury Second Master?"

Arriving at the girl's grave, the only tombstone bearing traces of sacrificial rites, Yin Nanfeng asked, puzzled.

Before they arrived, Yin Nanfeng suggested bringing more people, but Hu Ming refused.

"Someone's coming... Here they are!"

Hu Ming lit a cigarette and said softly.

Just then, the sound of cars came from afar, and four or five cars were approaching.

A group of young people dressed in black walked out from inside.

These people brought all the digging tools, including shovels and hoes.

"Second Master, Fourth Grandfather instructed us all to obey your orders."

The first man in black to get off the car spoke respectfully in front of Hu Ming.

"Fourth Grandfather? A member of the Chen family? No wonder, that explains everything. Uncle Ming, you contacted him beforehand?"

Yin Nanfeng realized that Chen Pi Asi was Er Yuehong's former apprentice.

“I don’t have his contact information. I just know he would do this.”

Hu Ming shook his head and said to the men in black, "It's getting late, let's begin. Be careful, everyone. If you damage anything, none of you will leave alive."

"Second Master, don't worry. Before we came, Fourth Master had already given instructions that if anything really happens, you don't need to lift a finger. Fourth Master will personally skin us alive."

The young man gave a wry smile.

He was one of Chen Pi's trusted subordinates who was assigned to this task, so he naturally knew how important the grave that was about to be dug up was to Chen Pi.

For Chen Pi, Ya Tou was not just his teacher's wife, but a mother figure, and there were other feelings involved as well!
After burying Er Yuehong and Ya Tou together, and resealing the tomb.

Those men in black had already wisely left.

Only Hu Ming and Yin Nanfeng remained.

The two lit incense at the grave to bid their final farewell.

Before driving away, Hu Ming glanced discreetly into the depths of the nearby woods.

After the car drove away.

An elderly man wearing black sunglasses and black clothes, leaning on a cane, walked out of the woods.

He stood alone in front of the tombstone, silent.

Two weeks later, in Hangzhou, inside the villa of the "missing" Wu Sansheng.

Wu Xie, who had previously traveled to the Qinling Mountains, has returned safely.
Hmm, a severe concussion and multiple bruises all over his body are considered relatively unharmed. Come to think of it, Wu Xie was actually brought back from the Red Cross Hospital by Hu Ming.

At this moment, only Hu Ming, Wu Xie, and Yin Nanfeng, who had just arrived, were in the huge villa.

"Uncle Ming, who is this... um... your girlfriend?"

Wu Xie poured tea for the two of them and teased them jokingly.

During his time back, Wu Xie stayed at Wu Sansheng's house, hoping to find some clues to help him locate Wu Sansheng.

She's just like you, a little brat who's stuck to me like glue, I can't get rid of her, she's so annoying!
"Yin Nanfeng, the current manager of the Crescent Moon Hotel, you know him."

Hu Ming glanced at Yin Nanfeng, who was smiling, and chuckled expressionlessly.

"Don't say that, Uncle Ming. Look how good I am! I knew you were going to do something dangerous, so I came to keep you company."

"If you were to die, you'd still have someone to keep you company, wouldn't you? Wouldn't it be lonely all alone underground? Master Ming has his maids with him; they certainly wouldn't care about you."

Yin Nanfeng ignored Hu Ming's words and unceremoniously put her arm around Hu Ming's shoulder.

She was rather willful, leaving all the restaurant matters to Sheng Sheng Man and running off to find Hu Ming all by herself.

As for why.
Anyway, Yin Nanfeng's excuse was that she wanted to experience a wonderful and exciting life with Hu Ming that she had never seen in the previous twenty years.

Of course, nobody would believe that excuse.

However, Hu Ming tried various methods, but he could never get rid of her.

Wisely, Hu Ming had already turned off his phone.

He knew that once Yin Nanfeng ran away, Zhang Yueshan would definitely come looking for him.

He didn't want to waste time arguing with Baishui Mountain.

Wu Xie raised an eyebrow; he wasn't stupid.

The relationship between these two is definitely not that simple, but that's none of his business.

"Uncle Ming, what should we do now? I don't know how powerful those people are, and I don't know if the information they brought is true."

"But I can't just abandon my third uncle..."

After a brief introduction, Wu Xie couldn't wait to get down to business.

Yesterday, a man and a woman found Wu Xie and Hu Ming with information about Wu Sansheng.

Those were employees of the International Marine Conservation Company, who said that Wu Sansheng and their people had previously gone on a scientific expedition to the underwater tombs in the Xisha Islands.

However, three days ago, Wu Sansheng and his crew mysteriously disappeared, leaving only a ship adrift at sea.

When Hu Ming heard the news, he already knew what was going on.

It's likely that Wu Sansheng silenced all those people.

International Ocean Conservation Company was opened by Qiu Dekao. Wu Sansheng never genuinely cooperated with these people; he always just used them.

The man and woman who came to his door were both acquaintances of Hu Ming.

One was Aning, whom he had met once under the Lu Palace; the other was the bald "Expert Zhang".

Ah!
Anyway, it's true that his surname is Zhang.

The Zhang family members are all skilled at making human skin masks.

I understand everything I understand.

“I know those people. Although they have ulterior motives, the information they provided is true and there is no fabrication whatsoever.”

"Let's get ready, give them our reply, and set off tomorrow."
