Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Hu Ming was busy instructing Hong Xia and the others to return to Beijing in batches to avoid attracting the attention of those with ulterior motives and causing unnecessary trouble. He didn't pay much attention to Wu Xie's changing expression.

After everything was finalized, everyone boarded planes in batches and left this land.

Hu Ming and Yin Nanfeng shunned their subordinates and boarded a flight alone.

There are no direct flights from Geermu to Beijing; a transfer is required.

The straight-line distance between the two places is about 2,400 kilometers. If you fly directly, the distance will take about five or six hours.

However, when Hu Ming and Yin Nanfeng set foot on the soil of Beijing, it was already the early hours of the next day.

As soon as he stepped off Airshow Road, Hu Ming saw a familiar car.

This is the car from Xinyue Hotel. Sheng Shengman, dressed in a cheongsam, is standing gracefully in front of the car, waving to the two of them.

"Miss, Master Ming!"

He stepped forward and took the gifts from the two men, responding respectfully as always.

"Thank you for your hard work!"

Yin Nanfeng patted Sheng Shengman on the shoulder.

This was one of her most trusted associates, and Yin Nanfeng entrusted many things to Sheng Sheng Man.

Include
This time, I secretly left Beijing!
Yes, this time, Yin Nanfeng sneaked away again!
However, this trip was short, only a few days in total, so it wasn't a big problem. The old fogies of the Yin family turned a blind eye.

After all, Hu Ming's status at this point was quite different from before.

Given his status as the Second Master of the Nine Gates, coupled with his previous identity and influence, he is no laughing matter.

It should be noted that Hu Ming's security company was one of the earliest established security companies in the country, and it had very close ties with various forces!

Although the old men of the Yin family had some reservations about their eldest daughter taking a fancy to a man who was forty-seven or forty-eight years old, approaching fifty.

But then he thought, "Zhang, the adjutant, is over a hundred years old, and he's found an eighteen-year-old girl." All his dissatisfaction was instantly suppressed.

after all
It's a tradition among these old devils of the Nine Gates to have an old ox grazing on young grass!
Moreover, judging from Zhang's condition, Hu Ming should live at least another hundred years, enough to keep Yin Nanfeng company in her old age. In this line of work, old artifacts are invaluable assets, and the connections and knowledge they possess are priceless.

Oh... this is a profitable deal? These old men are shrewd!
Moreover, because of Zhang Dafoye's influence, the Hong family and the Yin family have always had a good relationship, so the old-fashioned Yin family has turned a blind eye.

What do you mean by middle-aged or elderly people in their forties?
Hu Mingming clearly looks like a fresh-faced eighteen-year-old boy, okay? He even looks three times younger than our young lady!
As for seniority
who.care?
Regardless of blood relation, the criminal law can't find fault with it!
In the car, Sheng Sheng sat in the passenger seat, while Yin Nanfeng leaned on Jiang Nan's shoulder. The two then sat in the back seats.

“Miss, Master Ming, while you were away, the Crescent Moon Hotel received a… a very strange jade seal.”

"Based on the decision of the elders in the family, we plan to hold a special auction in three months to dispose of this item. Here are the details."

The driver slowly started the car and handed a briefcase to Hu Ming and Yin Nanfeng.

"A special auction is being prepared? What is this, such a grand affair?"

"And who is the seller?"

Yin Nanfeng was taken aback and asked in confusion.

The Crescent Moon Hotel has been rooted in Beijing since the late Qing Dynasty, with connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles, and has weathered countless storms over the centuries. Its unique auctions have been held countless times.

But this is the first time we've ever held an entire auction just for a single item!
For a moment, Yin Nanfeng even wondered if the old men in his family had lost their minds.
"I don't know the specifics. I've checked a lot of materials, but I can't find any trace of this jade seal in historical records, so I can't determine what it is."

"As for selling insurance, I sent people to investigate the seller's information, but we found nothing! It's as if someone higher up has deleted all the seller's information."

"Miss, this thing is quite unusual. Perhaps we should reject it?"

Sheng Sheng gave a bitter smile. With Yin Nanfeng gone, she had no say in front of the old men at home.

However, both the seller and the auctioned items had a somewhat mysterious air about them, so Sheng Shengman immediately reported to Yin Nanfeng upon receiving the news.

Although the Yin family has connections and influence, this country is ultimately a nation under heaven, and will absolutely not allow a family that can interfere with national policies.

One member of the Zhang family is enough!
In this special environment, the family's development has an upper limit, and they can never get involved in truly high-level affairs.
The Yin family is at this critical juncture; anything the Yin family can't find must be connected to the highest levels!
"I was only gone for half a month, how did this kind of trouble suddenly happen?"

Yin Nanfeng was aware of this as well, and his brows furrowed deeply.

"It's the Ghost Seal! Someone's fishing and trying to catch a big fish!"

At this moment, Hu Ming, who was quietly looking at the documents, opened the car window, lit a cigarette, and gave a half-smile.

"Uncle, do you know?"

Yin Nanfeng was taken aback, then said with delight.

Once you know exactly what the auctioned item is and what the people behind it want to do, you'll be able to handle it much more easily.

"Yes, there are only two of these in the world. One is in the young man's possession, while this auction item belongs to the Huo family matriarch, the Fairy Huo!"

"It seems that as she gets older, Fairy Huo knows her days are numbered, and to fulfill a regret she's had for over twenty years, she can no longer resist taking action."

Hu Ming looked at the Ghost Seal in the documents in his hand; he was all too familiar with this thing!
"The Ghost Seal? Fairy Huo?"

"That's right! Huo Xiangu married a high-ranking official in her early years. That person is indeed someone with immense influence and connections. It would be incredibly easy for the power he left behind to escape the notice of the Yin family!"

"But given the relationship between the Nine Gates and the Yin family, wouldn't it be better for Sister Huo to simply state her identity directly, instead of going to such lengths?"

Yin Nanfeng understood, but more doubts arose in his heart.

"That's because this thing is of great importance, and countless eyes are watching it. Even Huo Xiangu doesn't dare let others know that this thing is in her hands."

"Otherwise, the mighty Huo family would have been wiped out overnight. Having personally experienced that event half a century ago, Huo Xiangu knows better than anyone just how terrifying the enemy truly is!"

"Look, Wu Sansheng, Xie Zongzhi, and I have just dealt with the enemy's main force after more than 20 years of planning, and now Huo Xiangu can't sit still!"

Hu Ming exhaled a deep smoke ring, his eyes flickering uncertainly beneath the smoke.

It seems I absolutely have to visit Zhangjia Ancient Building.

Things have indeed started to get interesting!
