Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 586 Unleashing Killing Intent!
“Foolish thing, wanting to meddle in everything without even considering whether you’re qualified. It’s not easy for the Nine Gates to have survived all these years, Zhang Yueshan.”

Hu Ming snorted coldly, shook his head, and cursed without any politeness.

What kind of place is Gutongjing? It's a huge trap!
"This was originally a responsibility left to you by the Buddha. Never mind, there's no point in talking about it now."

"So, Chen Dingju, what exactly do you want to do here today?"

Zhang Yueshan rubbed the two rings on his wrist, a slight complaint in his voice.

He's already a centenarian; who wouldn't want to enjoy their retirement?
"We all know the rules that Master Buddha left behind, but now Boss Wu has gone there on his own."

"Now that the rules are broken, logically speaking, since Boss Wu has done this, shouldn't we all be free to follow these rules too?"

Chen Dingju glanced at Hu Ming warily, pretending not to have heard, and finally revealed his purpose.

"Yes, yes... Chairman Zhang, and Second Master, what do you think?"

Qi Anmei and Li Qunao watched the two of them expectantly from the side.

These two are undoubtedly the two strongest remaining members of the Nine Gates, wielding the most influence. Once they speak…

Thinking of the mountains of treasure that were said to be hidden in the ancient city of Tongjing, the two felt a surge of excitement.

These days, it's really hard to do business that involves anything shady or illegal!
"What, if one person breaks the rules, do you all want to break the rules too?"

"Alright, I'll handle the matter of Gutongjing."

Zhang Yueshan glanced at Hu Ming, who showed no intention of intervening, and Hu Ming, who was also looking at him, and cursed him under his breath as a little fox. He then looked at the three of them expressionlessly.

The meaning is clear: I have no interest in wasting time arguing with these people; you should leave!
"Humph!"

Chen Dingju snorted coldly, not taking it seriously. He hadn't expected Zhang Rishan to agree immediately; this was just a test.

Now it seems that Zhang Yueshan and Wu Xie have indeed reached some kind of agreement, and with the addition of meeting Hu Ming, this trip was definitely worthwhile.

They pulled on the rope, dragging the vest that had been silently and consciously keeping quiet, and prepared to leave.

"Wait, leave the vest behind."

Just then, Hu Ming spoke up.

"Second Master, even you can't be unreasonable. I invited this man here because I have some things to discuss with him."

Chen Dingju said with dissatisfaction.

In a direct confrontation, let alone him, even if the Chen family were to join forces, it might not be of any use.

However, Chen Dingju was not intimidated by verbal provocations.

“I never repeat myself. It’s pointless. You can try and see if you can take the vest away.”

Hu Ming remained unmoved, grinned, and looked extremely amiable.

However, unlike his gentle expression, a chilling killing intent slowly emanated from Hu Ming's slightly thin body.

At the same time, a black scalpel with mysterious bronze patterns silently appeared on the table in front of Hu Ming. In that instant, a chilling killing intent almost reached its peak, and everyone subconsciously shivered, feeling as if the temperature in the room had dropped several degrees in an instant.

Now, the people in the room were not ignorant; they knew that this was just an illusion, an illusion caused by the murderous intent emanating from the smiling man in front of them.

"Gulp!!!"

"Alright! Since Second Master has spoken, how dare I, Chen Dingju, disobey? This young man, and this corpse, are all yours!"

Chen Dingju sensed the approach of death, feeling as if he were closer to it than ever before, as if a tangible blade were pressed against his neck.

It was only a moment, but it felt like decades of torment; my clothes were already soaked with cold sweat.

Compared to Chen Dingju, Li Qunao and Qi Anmei were even worse off; their bodies trembled, and they almost knelt down on the spot.

"Get out of here. The Nine Gates are getting worse with each generation. With your kind of trash, you'll squander the legacy left by your ancestors sooner or later."

Seeing how pathetic the three were, Hu Ming waved his hand dismissively, completely losing interest in communicating with these good-for-nothings.

Objectively speaking, in terms of overall perspective, interpersonal skills, personal abilities, and self-perception, these three are far inferior to Wu Xie and Xiao Hua today!
"You can handle what you think is best for Huang Yan's body. Also, where is Wu Xie now? I'd like to talk to him."

After the three of them left in a sorry state, Hu Ming finally released Yin Nanfeng and cut the ropes binding Kan Jian with a single stroke of his knife.

"Second Master, the boss is currently handling some very important matters... But if it's you, then there's no problem. The boss is currently..."

"Oh, right, the boss asked me to give this to Chairman Zhang, Second Master, would you like to take a look?"

Seeing his idol, Kan Jian was so excited he was practically firing off a string of words. He bent down, pulled up his pants, took a slip of paper from his sock, and handed it to Hu Ming.
As for the matter that was originally intended for Zhang Rishan...
"...Give it to him, I roughly know what it says."

Hu Ming's lips twitched, and he avoided the view with disdain, pointing instead at the astonished Zhang Rishan.

This flavor... it's damn intoxicating!
Hu Ming subtly retreated, moving a few steps away from Kan Jian.

"Nanfeng, I'm going out for a bit. Wait for me at home, I'll be right back!"

With things mostly settled here, Hu Ming thought about it and realized he was still more concerned about Wu Xie's situation.

Hu Ming remembered that when Wu Xie first went to find high school students, it seemed to have affected a bold and infatuated female doctor.
Having a girlfriend like that must be tough for Zhang Yueshan!
If he were even slightly ugly, wouldn't he be cheated on in a few years when society becomes more open-minded?
Sensing a hint of malice, Zhang Yueshan looked around in confusion, but found nothing.

"Wait, Uncle Ming! I haven't been to your place in a long time! I've been staying at the Crescent Hotel for the past few years since you left!"

Before Hu Ming left, Yin Nanfeng suddenly shouted in annoyance.

The reason is simple. Not long after Hu Ming left the capital, due to some business matters, A Ning moved to Beijing and bought a residence next to Hu Ming's house.
Yin Nanfeng was almost driven mad with anger!
Normally, out of respect for Hu Ming, Yin Nanfeng would choose to deceive himself and simply turn a blind eye.

What? This mere mistress dares to come and provoke him, the first wife?
If it weren't for Sheng Sheng Man and Hong Xia stopping her, Aning would probably have mysteriously disappeared long ago.
"I understand. I'll go back to the Crescent Hotel tonight."

With the help of Sheng Sheng Man's kind lip movements, Hu Ming roughly understood what had happened. He answered somewhat guiltily, then jumped off the building and ran away in a slightly panicked manner.

"Man, your name is 'Difficult'! To be a loving man is even more difficult!"

At the entrance of the Crescent Hotel, Hu Ming looked at the moon, which was barely visible in the sky due to the smog, and sighed repeatedly.

Hu Ming got a car from the strange-looking waiter at the door and headed towards the location Kan Jian had told him about.
