Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 504 Hu Ming's Personality
……

"Let's go, Xiuxiu, things are over here, we should go back."

"Prepare a feast, and we eagerly await your arrival, Uncle Ming, tomorrow!"

"Yu Chen, remember to come to the banquet too."

With the dust settled, Huo Xiangu rose expressionlessly, preparing to leave.

"As for you, Wu Xie... come with your Uncle Ming later, and we can still discuss the Yangshi Lei blueprints you have!"

"Ugh"

Xiao Hua sighed softly, glanced back at Hu Ming, and without lingering any longer, turned and left.

As a collaborator, he knew why Huo Xiangu was in a bad mood.

Liuli Sun was actually a backup plan arranged by Huo Xiangu.

It was originally intended to force Wu Xie to reveal the information she wanted, and also as a backup plan to force Wu Xie to cooperate with them in uncovering the secrets of the Zhang Family Ancient Building.

In addition, a series of other methods were arranged, including, but not limited to, Huo Xiuxiu using their childhood friendship to get close to him and elicit information.
Unfortunately, Hu Ming's move was too ruthless!

He forcefully intervened in the sky lantern lighting ceremony, cleanly and efficiently eliminating Liuli Sun, thus abruptly cutting off their plans.

Xiao Hua knew that Hu Ming was telling them that he was protecting Wu Xie, so they should stop playing dirty tricks!
Whatever you need, put it on the table and clearly state what you'll get and what you'll give. That's how you can have a proper discussion!
"Hmph! Uncle Ming is right. These old fogies are too self-important. It's the 21st century, yet they're still living in the last century. They're just relying on their age to act superior!"

Yin Nanfeng watched Huo Xiangu leave, then sneered, showing absolutely no respect.

"What?"

Wu Xie and Fatty exchanged a bewildered glance.

Damn it, why?
They witnessed everything that happened today, so why do they still seem to understand nothing?
"You're still too young. Wu Xie, Uncle Ming's fondness for calling you 'naive' is indeed justified. You don't need to know so much."

"Just know this, Wu Xie: if you dare to do anything to betray Uncle Ming, I will kill you myself without Uncle Ming lifting a finger!"

Yin Nanfeng rolled her eyes. Wu Xie, as someone involved in this game, had been completely clueless. Enough already!
So what exactly are you talking about? I feel like I'm a complete idiot, I don't understand anything...

Wu Xie stared blankly at Yin Nanfeng, unconcerned by the threat in her words; after all, he wasn't the kind of person who would forget kindness.

but
Can someone please step forward and tell us clearly what exactly happened today?
What kind of scheme was behind all these inexplicable experiences?
For the first time, Wu Xie felt a little silly and convinced.
"You don't need to understand much. Just know that all of this is over. Next, we will work together with Huo Xiangu and Xie Yuchen to excavate the Zhang Family Ancient Building."

Beside him, the young man opened his eyes, picked up the backpack that Hu Ming had told him to bring, and said calmly.

The young man already knew what was inside; it was originally meant to disgust Huo Xiangu, but unfortunately, Huo Xiangu didn't give Hu Ming that chance and left early on.

However, they'll probably be useful at the Huo family's banquet later, right?
The young man knew that Hu Ming was not the kind of person who would give up easily.

"...So, what exactly happened?"

"cooperate?"

"Excuse my bluntness, but given Uncle Ming's character, this is clearly a case of using them as cannon fodder, isn't it?"

Wu Xie and Fatty exchanged a glance, even more bewildered. They knew Hu Ming all too well!
Would he really be the kind person to cooperate with outsiders?
That's hilarious!
"Huh? You're not stupid after all?"

Yin Nanfeng looked at Wu Xie with considerable surprise, as if he were seeing Wu Xie for the first time.

"It's just that some people are only looking for death, while treating others like fools and using them, which will also cause them a lot of trouble. Since that's the case, Uncle Ming doesn't mind giving him a push from behind."

"In Uncle Ming's words, this is actually helping others and finding joy in it?"

Yin Nanfeng explained calmly.

"To be precise, it's just about making the best use of people's talents; to say it's about helping others is a bit much."

Hu Ming, who had returned to the private room with the Ghost Seal, said with a faint smile.

There's not much to say about Huo Xiangu.

Looking around, Hu Ming saw no sign of Hong Xia and nodded to himself, understanding the situation.

The old man from the Hong family really put his heart into sending Hongxia to him.

It was already afternoon when the auction ended.

Hu Ming casually shooed away Wu Xie, who was still looking completely bewildered, and returned to his courtyard with Yin Nanfeng.

What happened at the Crescent Hotel was naturally handled by others.

Yin Nanfeng was too lazy to deal with these trivial matters, and no one dared to force her.

In just one afternoon, as night fell, Hongxia, who had been busy all afternoon, finally returned.

All of Liuli Sun's properties have been taken over by Hongxia with lightning speed.

Of course, there were definitely many people who couldn't see the situation clearly or who didn't receive the news of Ruri Sun's death at the New Moon Hotel in time.

As for the fate of these people
"Early tomorrow morning, a large group of disabled but determined beggars will appear on the streets of the outskirts of Beijing."

Hongxia smiled faintly as she recounted the tragic fate of those who refused to repent and cooperate.

The operation went too smoothly.

The inner circle in Beijing isn't actually that big, but it's very well-connected. Right after Hu Ming killed Liu Li Sun at the New Moon Hotel, almost everyone in this circle got firsthand information.

After all, this is the 21st century, and mobile phones are incredibly common, making message transmission extremely fast and efficient.

Perhaps it was to curry favor with Hu Ming; in any case, Hong Xia's series of actions were met with no obstacles and all the green lights were given.

Otherwise, just legally taking over Liuli Sun's assets would take at least half a month.

During this time, who knows what kind of shady characters might try to sabotage things and take advantage of the chaos.

Unlike now, in just a few hours, Liu Lisun's assets worth hundreds of millions have been transferred to Hu Ming's name without any discrepancy.
