Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 575 Hehe, you really are my younger brother!

"What, are you surprised to see me? Do you think I shouldn't be here?"

"Also, Xiao Xie, it's good that you're alright. Everything was about to end. If something had happened to you at this point, I really wouldn't know how to explain it to the boss."

"Next time you do something so dangerous, remember this: you're the only son in three generations of the Wu family!"

Wu Erbai lit a cigarette, glanced at Jingjian Ahan who emerged from the jungle carrying a signal gun, chuckled, and looked at Wu Xie, who still seemed somewhat dazed.

"fine….."

Wu Wuxie looked at his second uncle, his mind still a little foggy, and nodded blankly.

"Alright, alright, this isn't the time for catching up. Apart from some emotional distress, your nephew is perfectly fine."

"More importantly, did you bring a doctor? The little fat boy's lungs were burned by the strong alkaline fumes. He needs treatment, otherwise he'll easily develop long-term effects, and his father will scold me again if he finds out."

With a snap of his fingers, Hu Ming saw Ahan vanish into white mist. He picked up the signal gun and glared at the two bound men.

"This is a gift for you, as an apology for coming without prior notice. After all, this place is under your control now, and my uninvited visit is somewhat against the rules."

"Speaking of which, Hongxia and Panzi are really outrageous; they actually let their captured prisoner escape..."

As he directed the team doctor to provide emergency treatment to the fat man, Wu Erbai smiled.

The two people who were tied up were none other than siblings A Ning and Jiang Zisuan.

This is a long story, but let's keep it short.

Concerned about his nephew's safety, Wu Erbai immediately gathered people and rushed to Banna Village after learning that Wu Xie had returned.

Last night, shortly after Hu Ming and the others left, Hong Xia, following Hu Ming's instructions, separated and tied up A Ning and her brother in a separate room, and then went to attend to other matters.

After all, with a sudden influx of over a hundred prisoners, even with their ample manpower, they inevitably felt somewhat constrained in the rush.

Ah Ning, true to her reputation as a beautiful yet cunning woman, has not given up even in this predicament.

After confirming that there was no one else besides the two guards outside the door, Ah Ning smiled smugly and spat out the razor blade that she habitually hid under her tongue.
Jiang Zisuan, being a top-notch sniper who has been fighting on the front lines for many years, naturally has ways to deal with this situation.

It must be said that Hongxia and Panzi ultimately neglected their relationship with the two siblings.

When Hongxia finished her work late at night, she discovered that the two siblings had long since disappeared.

Unfortunately, the problem is...
As A Ning and Jiang Zisuan followed the trail left by Hu Ming and the others, they hadn't gone far when they ran into Wu Erbai and his group, who had rushed over overnight.
I have to admit, I'm really unlucky; even drinking cold water can cause problems.

Wu Erbai was, after all, a cunning old fox with no eyes to hide. Aning was Qiu Dekao's most trusted subordinate, and Wu Erbai had already collected a lot of information about her.

Even though A Ning tried her best to prove that she and her companion were just tourists who had wandered into the mountains by mistake, Wu Erbai recognized them at a glance and immediately ordered them to be tied up and brought over.

As for why Wu Erbai didn't kill the two on the spot, he heard some rumors from his nephew that the woman seemed to have a close relationship with Hu Ming.

After thinking about Yin Nanfeng carefully, Wu Erbai felt that this might not be just a rumor. Not minding the trouble, he simply led the two of them to follow the trail and arrived here.

"Hey Hu Ming, do you believe me if I said we just wanted to go for a walk tonight?"

Faced with Hu Ming's forced smile, A Ning gave an awkward laugh, her neck instinctively shrinking back. She was like a fish on the chopping block!
Ah Ning isn't the kind of idiot who would still think of making tough statements at this point. People can be flexible and know when to back down.

Moreover, judging from Hu Ming and the others' appearance, a day and a night had passed, and they had already come out of the Zhang Family Ancient Building.

Moreover, Ah Ning had already seen the pair of silver bracelets on the young man's wrist and knew that she had no way of getting them from him.

In other words, this mission has completely failed, and the quick-thinking Aning is already considering her escape route.

Jiang Zisuan, standing to the side, looked at Hu Ming's ambiguous smile and inexplicably recalled Hu Ming's threatening methods not long ago. He subconsciously shuddered and silently ran behind A Ning.

After all, Hu Ming is very likely to be his future brother-in-law, and it's not shameful for a brother-in-law to bow down to his brother-in-law!
The brother-in-law's problems should be left to the sister to solve.

Jiang Zisuan pointed his chin at Hu Ming with a very straightforward gesture, indicating that it was her turn to go up.

I'll deal with you later!

Ah Ning glared at her suddenly spineless younger brother, then turned to Hu Ming with a "sincere" smile on her face.

"Hongxia was indeed negligent this time, but you two wouldn't be secretly plotting to steal my thunder, would you?"

"We'll brave the dangers, you're only responsible for finding the treasure?"

Hu Ming pinched his nose and looked at A Ning expressionlessly.

"Oh, I almost forgot, Hu Ming, when I caught these two, they had this on them!"

Just then, Wu Erbai, though old in years, smiled slyly, took two things from his subordinate and tossed them to Hu Ming, laughing heartily as if he didn't want the drama to get out of hand.

Hu Ming took them and saw that they were A Ning's handgun and Jiang Zisuan's beloved sniper rifle.

"What? Still thinking of shooting me in the back? Why not just leave all of us here?"

He weighed the gun in his hand, and Hu Ming's smile widened even further.

"How could we? It's so late at night, and this desolate wilderness is too dangerous. We need to get our weapons back for self-defense... Okay, I admit it, I'll tell you everything. It was all my sister's idea. I'm innocent!"

"You know, I was just a laborer my sister dragged along this time!"

Jiang Zisuan's attempts to defend himself grew weaker and weaker until he finally turned his head away, placing all the blame on Aning.

"what!"

Haha, you really are my younger brother...

Aning was stunned, staring incredulously at the man who had sold her brother without a shred of remorse. If she hadn't been given help with her limbs, she would have slapped him to death.

"Anyway, he won't do anything to you. But I'm different. Don't let his harmless, pretty-boy appearance fool you; he's ruthless to the core!"

"If this guy really holds a grudge against me, I might wake up one day to find my room turned into a snake pit!"

Jiang Zisuan muttered confidently, the previous experience leaving him with a deep psychological scar.

"Second Master, I'm sorry, I accidentally... Um, you've already found them?"
Just as Hu Ming was about to say something, there was a sudden commotion in the dense forest. A moment later, Hong Xia, Pan Zi, Huo Xiuxiu, and their men arrived.
