Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 430 Beware of Hu Ming harming you!
"Um...I'll try my best?"

Seeing Zhang Yueshan's weary look, Hu Ming scratched his head and tentatively said...

Those high-ranking figures have long been shrewd and experienced; dealing with them is truly exhausting.

Who knows how many traps they've set for you to fall into with just a few words!
Those people are all about using their brains; they're naturally adept at confining someone to the system and then using the system they're best at to take you down.

Playing with those people requires you to be on your toes at all times!
If you're not careful, those people will have dug countless pits for you, watching you jump right in with glee.

Therefore, he could understand Zhang Rishan's resentment.

Most importantly, Wu Sansheng has disappeared, and Xie Lianhuan is in deep hiding.

The only person Zhang Yueshan could find to criticize was Hu Ming, who was still active in the scene.
"Try your best? So you still want to do something big?"

Zhang Yueshan, with eyebrows raised, slammed his hand on the table and involuntarily shouted.

At least Zhang Rishan had a deep understanding of Hu Ming, and he understood Hu Ming's meaning all too well!
"You know, even when we went to Guangxi Province, it was mainly Huo Xiangu who took the lead. In front of her, I'm just a junior!"

"At that point, I'll definitely be powerless to stop myself. What I do will depend on Aunt Huo!"

Hu Ming shrugged, indicating that this had not happened yet and he would resolutely not take the blame.

That's not fair!

Before it even started, Zhang Yueshan was already convinced that Hu Ming would cause trouble.
Hu Ming is innocent!
Even if she went to Guangxi Province, it was to help the young man and her friend, okay?
Are you trying to stir up trouble?
Doesn't exist!
"hehe!"

Zhang Yueshan's eye twitched.

Got it. Just take care of the aftermath in three months.

This guy is definitely going to cause a lot of trouble.

"Second Master, Deputy Zhang, Master Hua, Huo Xiuxiu, and Wu Erbai, the Second Master of the Wu family, have come to pay a visit!"

At this moment, the servant knocked on the door and whispered his report.

"Wu Erbai? What's he doing in Beijing? Did you call him here?"

Hu Ming was taken aback and subconsciously looked at Zhang Yueshan.

Putting aside Xiao Hua and Huo Xiuxiu for now, these two are probably representing the Huo family matriarch to sound out Hu Ming.

But Wu Erbai?
His business is a perfectly legitimate business, completely unrelated to the underground businesses of the Nine Gates.

Moreover, Wu Erbai is the head of the Eleventh Warehouse, which is located in Hangzhou. Generally speaking, Wu Erbai would not easily leave Hangzhou.

"No, I thought you were the one who called them!"

Zhang Rishan was also completely bewildered; Wu Erbai's sudden visit had truly caught him off guard.

"Is it because of Wu Sansheng's disappearance?"

Yin Nanfeng guessed.

Although the three Wu brothers are all developing in different fields, they have an excellent relationship.

The third brother has disappeared, so it's normal for the second brother to come and ask about the situation.

"Not necessarily...it might not just be about Wu Sansheng."

Hu Ming stroked his chin thoughtfully.

He probably guessed some things.

"Uncle Rishan, it's been a long time!"

Before they even saw him, his voice arrived first, and the address "Uncle Rishan" truly shocked Hu Ming and Yin Nanfeng. "Uncle is fine, but why does it have to be 'Uncle Rishan'? What, do you want to 'smother the heavens'?"
So, were there any members of the Zhang family of Zhang Yueshan's generation named Ritian?
After all, if we already have mountains, then it wouldn't be surprising to see the sun on the ground, the sky, or even the air around it, right?
"Uncle Ming, Lieutenant Zhang, Miss Yin!"

Next, Xiaohua and Xiuxiu arrived together.

Suddenly, the elegant private room became lively.

Huo Xiuxiu's stunningly alluring eyes darted back and forth between the people present, her pupils darting around, as if she were plotting something.

"...This is troublesome."

Hu Ming sighed softly in Yin Nanfeng's ear.

These guys are no pushovers; they're all incredibly cunning!
"Erbai, you never come to the capital without a reason. It's been years since we've seen you in Beijing. What's up, is something wrong today?"

Zhang Yueshan looked at Wu Erbai and said something that seemed to have a hidden meaning.

"Uncle Rishan, as you know, my third son has gone missing. As his second brother, shouldn't I at least inquire about it?"

Wu Erbai smiled, sat down to Zhang Yueshan's left, and looked at Hu Ming, sizing him up.

This was the first time Hu Ming and Wu Erbai had met.

Wu Erbai was dressed in a gray casual outfit. Although he was over forty years old, he still looked energetic, but the gray hairs around his ears revealed his true age.

"You should get your hair dyed. Judging from your clothes, you're someone who doesn't want to grow old. The gray hair around your ears is a bit out of place."

Hu Ming ignored Wu Erbai's implied meaning and instead said jokingly.

"I'm not like you or Uncle Rishan. It would be strange if I didn't have gray hair at this age!"

"By the way, Uncle Rishan, is this a convenient place to talk?"

Wu Erbai didn't mind, laughed heartily, and then turned his attention to the astonished Liang Wan.

"My girlfriend. The serious kind! No need to hide it from her, just tell her what's on your mind."

Zhang Yueshan comforted the bewildered Liang Wan, and said with a light laugh.

Wu Erbai, a guy who looked no younger than his age, was called Zhang Yueshan, Uncle, which really surprised Liang Wan.

"Is 'uncle' a title based on generation, or...? And why did that Miss Yin call you 'old geezer'?"

Liang Wan couldn't help but ask, puzzled.

"Now is not the time to talk about this. I'll tell you everything about me when we get back. I just hope you won't be scared away by me then..."

Zhang Yueshan had already made up his mind. After all, he was a man from the previous generation, and his thinking was still somewhat traditional.

Being honest about one's past when considering a partner is just a basic requirement.

"Uncle Ming, Lieutenant Zhang, forgive my bluntness, but the reputation of the Nine Gates in the underworld has been ruined by you two old devils!"

"Look at you, all of you so old, yet you love to prey on young girls...Speaking of which, should I keep my distance from you two?"

"Especially you, Uncle Ming!"

"I, Huo Xiuxiu, consider myself exceptionally beautiful. I hope you two won't one day lay your evil hands on me?"

Huo Xiuxiu's gaze swept back and forth between the two faces as she teased them in a sweet voice.

"Hu Ming is the only scumbag. I'm a traditional person, as you all know. Hu Ming has dated several women. After ruining your aunt, be careful he doesn't ruin you too."

Zhang Yueshan subtly distanced himself from Huo Xiuxiu's astonishing remarks, shifting all the blame onto Hu Ming.

Hu Ming:
Hu Mingcai wouldn't tell anyone that Yin Nanfeng, who was smiling sweetly beside him and seemed completely unconcerned, had already reached for his waist.
