Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 706 Trading
It is worth mentioning that Hu Ming's shirt was gone at this time, his body was already wet by the rain, and his hairstyle, which was carefully groomed by Yin Nanfeng, had already fallen limply on his head, with his sloppy bangs almost covering his eyes.

There was even some mud on my body, which was inevitable.

However, in the rainy night, the dragon and the phoenix entangled in front of the chest, emitting a faint glow, unexpectedly seemed incomparable...

"Emmm Uncle Ming, I seem to understand why you attract so much attention from women."

Wu Xie looked at Hu Ming's extraordinary upper body and his almost perfect face that was somewhat neutral, and suddenly he realized something.

In the past two years, the habit of judging people by their appearance has almost become the mainstream.

Compared with the past, good-looking people and rich people are almost on par with each other, and both are winners in life that the general public aspires to be.

"....Uncle, I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that after not seeing you for so many years, your face seems to have become even more beautiful?"

The fat man frowned and asked in confusion

I had this illusion before, but I didn't think much about it. After all, there are two examples of people who never age around me. Don't their faces remain unchanged?
"Let's not talk about the blind man, who is a disabled person. I am different from my brother. Every inch of my body is slowly evolving towards perfection every day."

"Also, there is a wrong word. Please use handsome to describe my almost perfect face!"

Hu Ming replied without commenting that it was not something shameful and there was nothing wrong in admitting it.

"..."

Wu Xie and Fatty are autistic. Damn, they were already very handsome, and how can they become even more handsome as time goes by?
Are we going to let ordinary people live?
"…What do you mean by defective goods? If you don't know how to speak, don't say it. I'm just not as perverted as you and my brother. I don't even know what the hell is going on with our clan..."

"You also know that Qi Yu, the only surviving member of my tribe, is the one who survived. Just forget about it and ignore what I said."

The blind man felt a little indignant. Being able to live for two centuries was something many people envied, but compared with these two perverts who had lived forever, it seemed a little embarrassing.

When Qi Yu was mentioned, the blind man's tone froze and he decisively shut up.

After all, Wu Xie is his little apprentice after all, and it is always bad to bring up his not-so-good memories.

"Qi Yu. Forget it. So many years have passed. Although I still haven't found out his final whereabouts, I think he must have died a long time ago, right?"

Wu Xie smiled with relief and didn't take it seriously.

"You did look for Qi Yu afterwards. He is not dead yet, but you just couldn't find him for the time being."

"Besides, Qi Yu was also one of the participants in the Leicheng incident back then."

Hu Ming smiled mysteriously.

Qi Yu?
Still imprisoned in the deepest part of Warehouse 11!
For more than half a century, he has been like a wild beast, having long lost his mind and been chained in a secret place in Warehouse 11.

When Hu Ming went to Warehouse 11 a few days ago, he did not see Qi Yu, but he knew that Qi Yu was still there, available for some people from the Nine Gates who were qualified enough to study him.

Once people learn about immortality, the desire for longevity is ingrained in their bones and no one can easily give it up.

Qi Yu's current situation was probably due to a secret cooperation between some people from the Nine Gates and the people above, and the results were shared.

This is also the reason why the people above have seemed so calm and have not caused trouble for Hu Ming and his brother over the past decade.

Before Qi Yu died suddenly, and before Qi Yu could provide them with some experimental data, Hu Ming and his brother would enjoy a long period of peaceful life. Moreover, given Qi Yu's current condition, he would be fine for at least a century.

"???Uncle Ming, do you know something?"

Instinctively, Wu Xie was alert, as this man whose fate was connected to his first half of life seemed to be involved in some other things.

"If nothing unexpected happens, you will never see him until you die of old age. Many people do not allow you, me, and other people to come into contact with Qi Yu."

Hu Ming gave a wicked smile. This kind of bad behavior of arousing other people's interest but absolutely not telling the second half was really satisfying.

"You really do know something..."

Wu Xie sighed in pain. He knew it from what Hu Ming said. Some people didn't want them to contact each other and even concealed some information. But Hu Ming obviously knew everything!
"There's nothing I can do. The living Qi Yu is now my brother and I's amulet. Even though I know it, and even though they probably know that I know it, we are still cooperating tacitly and pretending to know nothing to each other."

"This is a dirty exchange of interests!"

"Whether he is in pain or miserable, what does it have to do with me? He is valuable only when he is alive. If he dies, he is worthless. Many people will be unhappy and have a headache."

As they walked and talked, they were about to cross the village and reach the parking place.

"Exchange of interests. So what benefits did you get, Uncle Ming? I mean, apart from the amulet for you and my brother."

Wu Xie was no fool and he quickly guessed something. He had already known 80 to 90 percent of the secrets from the past, and the rest were insignificant things that were easy to guess based on the circumstances.

"The fact that they turned a blind eye to many things and gave me the green light on many things are enough."

These two points were gradually explored by Hu Ming over the years, and they are almost the bottom line of those people.

Of course, this does not include Hu Ming’s professorship and the qualification for free entry and exit.

After all, he is not just the Second Lord of the Nine Gates! His blood is very red, just like Hu Bayi!

Nowadays, the green light given by others is mainly for small-scale hot weapons wars to take place in some remote areas.

For example, the night when the Wang family was wiped out.

Although the area where the Wang family lives is remote, China is a country after all. Under the surveillance of satellites and countless cameras, it is difficult for anything to be hidden from the eyes above, and being discovered is inevitable.

China is a country that has extremely strict control over private possession of firearms, but after so many days, they are still living in peace. The people above seem to see nothing, which is enough to explain the problem.

However, this is pretty much the bottom line.

"That night at the Wang family? We all know that this incident was so drastic that it couldn't be concealed under satellite surveillance."

"We were all prepared to be held accountable afterwards, and I even planned to find my former leader, but nothing happened..."

"I thought it was Zhang Rishan who was behind this. Tsk, what a dirty... but enviable deal!"

Wu Xie is a smart man after all, and he understands many things at a glance. When others are still confused, Wu Xie has already figured out many things.

For people in their line of work, it would be wishful thinking to resist the rules of the country. The country will never allow the emergence of families like the Zhang family, even if there is any sign of it.

In this case, wouldn't it be nice to have the protection of the people in charge?
