Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 576 Physical attraction, not emotional involvement!
"Ah."

"Take them back and keep a close watch on them. I don't have time to deal with these two guys yet."

Hu Ming nodded slightly, not pursuing Hong Xia's mistake too much, and simply waved his hand, no longer paying attention to the matter.

Since descending to the ground, Hu Ming had been underground for a day and a night, during which he had also experienced a dangerous or difficult situation. All of this left even Hu Ming feeling somewhat exhausted.

Right now, Hu Ming doesn't want to do anything; he just wants to find a place to get a good night's sleep.

Of course, it would be even better if Yin Nanfeng could be with him at this time.

It's common knowledge that sleep is more restful after a vigorous, exhausting workout, isn't it?
"Ok."

Hong Xia nodded silently. After exchanging pleasantries with Wu Erbai, she ordered her men to take A Ning and Jiang Zisuan back first.

Having been by Hu Ming's side for so long, Hong Xia has come to understand Hu Ming's personality very well.

This wasn't Hu Ming choosing to ignore her mistake, but rather choosing to handle it leniently—it was a matter of courtesy.

However, Hongxia knew in her heart that this serious mistake only happened once. If there was a next time, given Hu Ming's personality, he would never allow her to stay by his side.

The matter between A Ning and Jiang Zisuan could be a big deal or a small deal, but as long as these two weren't intercepted by Wu Erbai, they would be guarding the vicinity with their guns in hand.

If they were to harbor any malice and take advantage of the moment when Hu Ming and the others were off guard after coming out to fire a sneak shot, wouldn't that be a catastrophe?
"grandmother!"

Huo Xiuxiu couldn't care less about her former friend's current feelings of guilt.

The moment I arrived, I saw Huo Xiangu behind Xiao Hua, and my eyes instantly turned red, tears falling like pearls from a broken string.

In this cold and cannibalistic family, only Huo Xiangu treated her very well, allowing her to experience the taste of family affection.

Seeing Huo Xiangu lifeless, how could Huo Xiuxiu not be heartbroken?
Despite having mentally prepared herself, Huo Xiuxiu still couldn't control her emotions when she saw Huo Xiangu's body. Her delicate body swayed, and she almost fainted on the spot.

"Please accept my condolences; the dead cannot be brought back to life."

Hu Ming helped Huo Xiuxiu up and offered a lukewarm word of comfort.

It's not that Hu Mingxin is cold-hearted, but rather that things like birth, aging, sickness, and death are difficult for outsiders to truly understand unless they have experienced them firsthand, and words of comfort are the most dry and empty of all.

What Huo Xiuxiu needed at this moment was not words of comfort from others.

Everyone here is an adult and understands this clearly. Even Xiaohua gently placed the body on the ground, took a few steps back, and made room for Huo Xiuxiu.

At the same time, he took out a cigarette he had been keeping in his pocket and lit it for himself with a melancholy expression.

Xiao Hua's main job is acting. For more than ten years, she has always taken good care of her voice and has never touched tobacco, alcohol, or spicy food. However, at this time, she is feeling emotionally blocked and needs something external to help her release it.

Hu Ming glanced back at Wu Xie, who was hugging Panzi tightly and looking somewhat excited, and at Panzi, who seemed a little lost, and curled his lip.

Hu Ming wanted to return to Banna Village to rest as soon as possible, but Fatty's condition was not very optimistic. The doctor brought by Wu Erbai was giving Fatty emergency treatment, which would take some time.

Depending on the situation, we'll have to take the fat man to the hospital for further treatment.

Lung problems are no small matter. If Fatty doesn't want to spend the rest of his life struggling to breathe and becoming a semi-disabled person, he must take it seriously. Fatty understands this.

By the time Hu Ming and the others returned to Bannai Village, it was already late at night. After treating Fatty's injuries and taking him to the hospital, the group had been delayed quite a bit on the road. Back in Bannai Village, Huo Xiuxiu and Xiao Hua didn't bother with pleasantries with Hu Ming and the others. They took their helpers and the corpse and set off that very night to return to Beijing.

The situation for both families is not good now. Things have come to an end here, and they urgently need to go back to deal with matters at home.

You should know that confirming Huo Xiangu's death was a very big deal in Beijing!
After dealing with these trivial matters, it was already dawn. Hu Ming dragged his tired body back to his room, ready to get a good night's sleep.

but
"wtf!!??"

As soon as he pushed open the door, Hu Ming looked towards the bed, his pupils slowly dilating, revealing an incredulous expression. He subconsciously imitated Staff Officer Yang and uttered a classic English phrase.

A graceful figure was now lying quietly on the bed that should have been empty.

In the dim light, combined with Ah Ning's naturally beautiful, fox-like face, she appeared even more captivating.

…………

"Damn it, Red Summer!!! Come here!!!"

Hu Ming leaned against the doorframe, rubbing his forehead, his head buzzing. What the hell was going on?
Is this a surprise?
Damn, all I feel is shock, no appreciation whatsoever!
"Stop shouting. I told your henchmen to do this. Those people guarding outside left the moment you came in."

However, after Hu Ming shouted, there was no response from outside. Unexpectedly, A Ning used her tongue to push aside the white cloth, turned her head, and whispered with a hint of shame.

"What the heck?" Hu Ming was completely dumbfounded.

"I thought you would like this," Ah Ning's voice grew weaker and weaker.

"I like it this way... I mean, I don't quite understand why you're doing this. It's unnecessary, you know, I probably won't do anything to you and your brother."

Hu Ming sighed and rubbed his temples, his head aching.

"Because, now that things have come to this, I have nowhere else to go but you, right? Do you still stand by what you said before? When I have nowhere to go, will you keep me by your side as a little secretary?"

"You know, if my mission fails, it means the boss is doomed. The company will definitely not tolerate a loser like me. Without someone of sufficient influence to protect us, my brother and I will most likely be eliminated by the company."

"Besides, I already have a pretty good impression of you, so it's always good to try and please my future boss, right?"

Ah Ning turned her head, a faint sadness hidden beneath her feigned smile.

We're all adults. Whether it's a transaction based on lust or a genuine emotional connection, when Ah Ning saw the silver bracelet on the young man's wrist, she knew she had no other choice.

The good thing is, she doesn't dislike the man in front of her; in fact, she's somewhat pleased with him. Perhaps this is the best possible outcome?
Ah Ning looked at the man in front of her with a sense of relief, her eyes softening somewhat.

In the adult world, where are there so many things that go exactly as planned?
"That's why I like sensible girls!"

Hu Ming raised an eyebrow, a half-smile playing on his lips.

Hu Ming was no saint; why would he let go of such easy money? To act coy and pretentious at this point would be too hypocritical.

Now that the meat has already gotten into the pot on its own, all that's left to consider is whether to braise or stir-fry it.

Hu Ming closed the door. As for being exhausted?
Ah!
Men should dare to challenge their limits!
As for A Ning, let's start with physical attraction, not emotional investment. Once her boss dies, we can slowly accept her!
