Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 379 Farce
"Blah blah blah, anyway, that's the situation."

"Hu Ming, do you have any way to get these two to talk without resorting to violence?"

"No matter what, I must find out Wenjin's current whereabouts!"

Hu Ming listened attentively to Wu Sansheng's rambling, nodding repeatedly as if he agreed.

However, in Wu Sansheng's blind spot, Hu Ming winked at Chen Wenjin playfully.

All she got in return was a disgruntled glare from Chen Wenjin.

"Hu Ming, I know that Dingzhu Zhuoma is an old friend of yours. Help me out and see if you can get anything out of her."

"You know, I've been looking for Wenjin for years, and this is the only clue I have. I really have no other choice."

"I'm leaving this place to you. Let me know as soon as you have any news. I'm going out to check the situation. The men I brought this time are no pushovers."

Patting Hu Ming on the shoulder, Wu Sansheng said helplessly.

After saying that, he took a deep look at Dingzhu Zhuoma and left without looking back.

He had no choice but to pin his hopes on Hu Ming, since Dingzhu Zhuoma was so stubborn and wouldn't budge.

"Ahem, Dingzhu Zhuoma, although we are old friends, I advise you to tell me Chen Wenjin's whereabouts."

"Otherwise, as you've seen, Wu Sansheng is no pushover. He's ruthless and vicious. If he does something in a moment of desperation that no one wants to see, that would be bad."

Hu Ming's ears trembled slightly, confirming that Wu Sansheng was far away from the tent and could not hear any movement inside. He coughed twice and reprimanded him in a pretentious manner.

"%^$*".

Dingzhu Zhuoma glanced calmly at Hu Ming, then turned her head away, not wanting to pay him any more attention.

"..."

Hu Ming's lips twitched; he understood the language of Xinjiang.

That sentence means: You're crazy.

Mad, that is, seeing that Zhuo Ma was getting old, and respecting the elderly and caring for the young is an excellent Chinese tradition.

Otherwise, anyone else who dared to speak to Hu Ming like that would get slapped across the face!
"Pfft~"

Upon seeing this, Chen Wenjin laughed in a very unkind way.

They made no attempt to hide their mockery of Hu Ming, openly and blatantly.

"...Get lost! What are you laughing at? Isn't this all your fault?"
"Speaking of which, your old flame is right in front of you, and you have no intention of acknowledging her?"

"Tsk tsk, woman, your name is ruthless!"

Hu Ming's face darkened, and he said irritably.

"Pah! I knew you'd never say anything nice. What old flame?"

Chen Wenjin rolled her eyes at Hu Ming.

To be honest, wearing this middle-aged woman's skin mask, she actually does have a certain mature woman's charm.

"I'm going to tell Wu Sansheng that his old lover seduced me."

Hu Ming said expressionlessly.

"Stop joking, Hu Ming. You know I can't possibly acknowledge Wu Sansheng as my father."

"I know he has deep feelings for me and has been searching for me all these years. Doing this really hurts him, but..."

"But if I go, whether I succeed or not, there will be no future for either of us."

"Since that's the case, why bother recognizing him? It would only cause more trouble. It's better not to meet him at all."

Chen Wenjin suddenly sighed. Seeing Wu Sansheng again filled her with mixed feelings, and she was in no mood to joke with Hu Ming.

During the ten years she spent hiding alone in Xinjiang, she had come to terms with it and believed that Wu Sansheng deserved a better future.

Instead of being troubled for the rest of his life by her past, a past figure destined to never appear in this world again. Hu Ming remained silent.

He understood that Chen Wenjin's mission had failed, and she would become a forbidden woman, a monster.

Even if they succeed, they will be trapped inside the meteorite for life and unable to leave.

This is an unsolvable problem. Ever since I was forced to take the Corpse Beetle Pill twenty years ago, this outcome has been predetermined.

"That's good that you've figured it out."

Hu Ming nodded. This was Chen Wenjin's own business, and he didn't want to stand on the sidelines and offer unsolicited advice.

"Don't worry, I'll figure out a way to deal with Wu Sansheng. You don't need to worry."

"At the very least, I won't let him use violence or threats against you."

Also, something happened outside, so I suggest you two stay here and don't go out.

Standing up, Hu Ming said mysteriously.

His earlobes trembled slightly, and he could hear every rustle of wind and noise outside.

At that moment, something interesting happened outside.

"okay."

Dingzhuo Ma and Chen Wenjin nodded. There was quite a commotion outside, and they had already heard some of the noise.

However, they weren't interested.
They knew that no matter what kind of trouble it was, Hu Ming could handle it.

Stepping out of the tent, the first thing Hu Ming saw was A Ning's gloating smile.

There was absolutely no trace of the gloom he had just felt.

"Tsk, it seems that Wu Sansheng really suffered heavy losses in the last operation. He doesn't even have many trustworthy subordinates left."

"We haven't even reached the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West yet, and you've already fallen out with your subordinates. What kind of behavior is this? Those who betray the trust of others will ultimately be betrayed by their own subordinates?"

Ah Ning moved closer to Hu Ming, watching the farce unfold before her, and mocked him with a half-smile.

Before us, all the people Wu Sansheng brought, except for a few who were absolutely loyal to him, were all under the control of his subordinates.

Wu Sansheng stared grimly at the young man who had a knife to his neck.

This man was known in the underworld as "Mop," a nickname derived from his mop-like hairstyle.

This is a ruthless character; he has worked in the underground industry several times and has a history of double-crossing.

Wu Sansheng had long known that this person was untrustworthy, but he never expected that before even finding the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West, Tuoba would launch an attack.

Apart from Wu Sansheng and a few of his trusted associates.

Even Wu Xie, Fatty, Panzi, and even Hei Xiazi and Xiao Ge were all taken into custody.

Each person had a knife held to their neck.

Hei Xiazi still wore an enigmatic smile, seemingly unconcerned about the knife at his neck.

The young man, as always, remained indifferent, showing no extra emotion whatsoever. He glanced at Hu Ming briefly and then made no further move.

The fat man, with a dark face, cursed and swore, as if he wanted to swallow the mop whole.

To be honest, this is the first time in all my years in the industry that someone has held a knife to my throat! The situation has really changed a bit too quickly.

Seeing Hu Ming and the others who were just "bullying" her now in such bad luck, it would be a miracle if Aning didn't gloat.

"What a farce..."

Hu Ming watched the young man approaching him with a knife at Mop's signal and sighed in boredom.
