Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 275 Zhang Rishan's Call

"Ding ding ding..."

Just then, the phone rang.

Hu Ming and Yin Nanfeng tacitly turned their gazes toward Wu Xie.

To avoid being bothered by a certain Baishui Mountain mineral water, the two had already turned off their phones.

Under their gaze, Wu Xie took out his phone, looked at the unfamiliar number on it, and frowned slightly.

In this day and age, there aren't nearly as many nuisance phone calls as in later generations.

Hello, you.

“I know you. You are Wu Xie, the grandson of Dog Fifth Master. I am Zhang Yueshan. You should know me.”

"Zhang Yueshan!"

Wu Xie was startled and couldn't help but gasp.

No matter how inexperienced Wu Xie may be now, he is still a member of the Nine Gates.

How could he not have heard of the legendary Baishui Mountain, one of the Nine Gates, which has shown no signs of aging for centuries?
This is why Wu Xie accepted Hu Ming's age and appearance so easily back then.

"Is Hu Ming right next to you? Let him answer the phone; I have something to tell him."

A steady male voice came through the microphone.

"Uncle Ming, it's Lieutenant Zhang who's looking for you. Strange, why did he call me instead of me?"

Completely bewildered, Wu Xie handed the phone to Hu Ming as instructed.

Suddenly, Wu Xie noticed that Hu Ming and Yin Nanfeng's expressions seemed a little off.

It feels a bit like constipation?

"...I am Hu Ming."

Hu Ming took a deep breath, picked up the phone as if it were a bomb with its fuse pulled, and said softly.

"First of all, don't worry, I'm not contacting you because of Nanfeng."

Zhang Yueshan's rather helpless voice rang in my ears.

very good!
Everyone now knows that after Yin Nanfeng briefly handed over the restaurant business to his subordinates, he came to find Hu Ming!
For a moment, Hu Ming felt somewhat exhausted.

Okay, but if there's a first priority, there's bound to be a second. So, what's the second?
"For you to go to such lengths to find me, something terrible must have happened. Why don't you tell me and give me a laugh?"

Pushing away Yin Nanfeng, who was peering into his ear, Hu Ming asked in a deep voice.

"...It's the Wang family, I've received reliable information."

“The Wang family has already infiltrated the group heading to Xisha with Qiu Dekao, and dozens more are secretly heading to Xisha in a large group.”

“After you get to Xisha, be careful. I don’t want to attend the funeral of the youngest master right after attending the funeral of the second master.”

"Take good care of Nanfeng in the end."

After a brief silence, Zhang Rishan's slightly solemn voice rang out.

Wang family?
Upon hearing this, Hu Ming's brows furrowed deeply. Was this yet another unexpected situation?
However, upon reflection, it doesn't make no mistake. The underwater tomb in the Xisha Islands has long been confirmed as the tomb of Wang Zanghai.

It's not incomprehensible that the Wang family would take action for this.

But what is their purpose?
What experimental data did Wang Zanghai conduct in his pursuit of perfect immortality?
Having heard the important intelligence, Hu Ming hung up the phone without listening to Zhang Rishan continue.

"Uncle Ming? What important thing did Lieutenant Zhang say?"

Seeing Hu Ming frowning in thought, Wu Xie asked, puzzled.

"No, nothing at all, just some boring trifles."

"That's enough for now. Nanfeng and I are leaving first. Wu Xie, you should go back too. Get ready and pack your gear. We'll set off early tomorrow morning."

Shaking his head, Hu Ming gave up on pointless speculation and got up to leave.

Facing the enemy head-on, let alone the Wang family, Hu Ming is not afraid of anyone in the world.

The problem is, the Wang family won't play along with Hu Ming in a direct fight.

Despite their large numbers.

In this day and age, there is no direct transportation to the Xisha Islands.

Starting from Hangzhou, you'll need to take turns using three modes of transportation along the way: airplane, car, and ferry.

At this moment, Hu Ming and the others were sitting on the plane, looking out at the clouds through the window.

The plane will arrive in Sanya in about half an hour.

Aning was sent by Qiu Dekao to pick up Hu Ming and the others.

Ah Ning has a pretty and glamorous face, short, choppy hair, and a great figure with curves in all the right places.

Her occasional casual words, glances, and actions are quite charming, but she usually exudes a more aggressive aura.

These are all capable, resilient, beautiful, and cunning figures.

Sometimes Hu Ming wondered why all the beautiful women he met were exceptionally stunning.

Is it impossible to find a pretty but talentless woman?
"The plane will land in about half an hour. After we get off the plane, a company car will take us directly to the pier."

“Our staff have already taken care of all the details. Once we arrive, we’ll set off immediately; time waits for no one.”

"This is the equipment list we prepared. Take a look. If you need anything else, I can have the logistics department replenish it immediately."

Ah Ning's gaze swept over Hu Ming and the others, finally settling on Hu Ming and speaking softly.

"No need. I trust your company's preparations. After all, you're an international marine conservation company, so you're the most professional when it comes to things like going into the sea."

Hu Ming looked at A Ning with a half-smile.

This is not the first time that the Qiudekao team has explored the underwater tombs in the Xisha Islands.

Twenty years ago, Xie Lianhuan did some things for Qiu Dekao, including using Wu Sansheng's connections to infiltrate the scientific expedition team to the underwater tomb in the Xisha Islands.

Moreover, as a qualified tomb raider, Hu Ming always carried his most convenient tools with him at all times.
