Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 878 Reunion!

The approaching ships slowly drew near and eventually docked in front of the port of Singapore.

As soon as the deck was lowered, a group of impatient sailors rushed out and headed straight for the bar in the distance to enjoy themselves.

Hu Ming, accompanied by the three people beside him, slowly walked down.

George frowned warily as he looked at the armed police officers standing guard in front of the port.

"Hey, George, don't cause trouble!"

Hu Ming turned around and gave the professional assassin a special look, then solemnly reminded him.

"I know!"

George snorted unhappily and muttered, "I just instinctively hate cops!"

Transtan looked at Hu Ming with some curiosity, and then asked cautiously.

"Mr. Hu Ming, where is the partner you mentioned?"

Hu Ming smiled and pointed to the city center in the distance, where the most conspicuous building was the Empire State Building.

He joked, "My two old friends are so lazy, we'll have to go find them ourselves."

Charles loosened his collar, revealing his strong chest, and spoke loudly.

"Whatever the case, let's get going now. Standing here in this scorching sun, I feel like I'm going to melt."

"Let's go then!"

Hu Ming nodded in agreement and immediately led everyone to hurry away into the distance.

A moment later, they got into a taxi and drove straight to the Empire State Building in the city center.

Hu Ming pushed open the car door and got out alone.

He looked at the magnificent Empire State Building and couldn't help but laugh and curse.

"Those two guys really know how to enjoy life!"

Charles and his two companions followed them out, all gazing at the luxurious entrance gate.

Hu Ming took out his cell phone from his pocket and dialed a number.

With a "beep", the call was connected.

The fat man's annoyed voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hey, who is this? Fatty's not doing business right now."

Hu Ming greeted him with a smile, "Fatty, it's me. We've arrived at the entrance of the Empire State Building. Which floor are you on?"

"Wow, you got here so fast! That's pretty quick!"

The fat man exclaimed in surprise, followed by Hu Bayi's wry laugh from the side.

"Hey, Fatty, let's get down to business!"

The fat man quickly realized what was happening and answered repeatedly.

"Oh right, I almost forgot about that, Hu Ming, we're in room 1811 on the 18th floor. Come up quickly, we need to discuss something with you!"

"Coming right away!"

As Hu Ming spoke, he gently hung up the phone and turned to his three teammates behind him, shrugging his shoulders.

"let's go!"

George raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is he an Asian?"

"certainly!"

As Hu Ming walked forward, he replied, "Only Easterners can truly understand the power of this Golden Kingdom, and they are the Eastern masters in this field."

Transtan said somewhat unconvinced, "I disagree with that. No one in this world is more proficient in the study of the Golden Country than I am."

Hu Ming laughed heartily and said, "Then why don't you two have a friendly spar and see which side is truly stronger!"

They chatted as they took the elevator directly to the 18th floor of the Empire State Building. "Ding-dong—"

The elevator doors opened, and the hostesses standing outside politely smiled to welcome us.

"Welcome! This is the eighteenth floor. How can I help you gentlemen?"

Hu Ming said seriously, "We are looking for the guests in room 1811. We made an appointment with them in advance."

The hostess suddenly realized and asked, "Are you Mr. Hu Ming? Please come this way, I'll show you the way!"

George said with considerable surprise, "It looks so high-class, what a damn rich person's world."

Charles said with anticipation, "Once we finish this big deal, we can become one of the rich people too."

Fearing that saying too much would lead to mistakes, Hu Mingsheng reminded them, "Everyone, say less."

They followed the hostess who led the way, turned a corner, and went straight to room 1811.

The hostess stepped forward, gently rang the doorbell, and softly called out to the closed door.

"Mr. Hu Bayi, your guest has arrived!"

Footsteps were heard, and then the door was flung open.

Hu Bayi and Fatty stood at the door watching them.

"Amin, you've finally arrived!"

Hu Bayi patted him on the shoulder warmly.

The fat man excitedly came forward and gave him a big hug.

"Hey kid, it's been so long since you came to us to make a fortune together. Have you forgotten about us brothers?"

Hu Ming smiled wryly and said, "How could I dare? I've just been busy investigating this golden manuscript lately, so it's inconvenient for me to contact you."

"You see, now that the action plan is finalized, isn't that why I contacted you immediately?"

Upon hearing this, the fat man's face immediately lit up with a broad smile as he spoke.

"That's more like it. By the way, are all these foreigners behind you your newly recruited underlings?"

Hu Bayi sized up the faces of these Westerners, secretly assessing their strength.

George and the others couldn't understand the Eastern language and stared at the three men with bewildered expressions.

Charles coughed, reminding him, "Mr. Hu Ming, we should talk to each other!"

Hu Ming turned around and said seriously, "That's true. Let's go inside together first, and then we can talk about it in detail later!"

Hu Bayi led them into suite number 1811.

Upon entering, one immediately senses a luxurious and grand layout.

Hu Ming asked with a smile, "You must have made a lot of money renting this apartment, right?"

The fat man plopped down on the gold and red sofa, saying with a look of enjoyment, "It's not easy to get out of here, so of course I have to enjoy this sugar-coated bullet of capitalism."

Hu Bayi sat down next to Fatty, his hands clasped together.

He looked at the three Western faces who sat down behind Hu Ming and raised his hand to speak.

"Hu Ming, please introduce your friends to me?"

Hu Ming nodded, then gestured with his right hand to the three people behind him, introducing them one by one.

"First, there's this gentleman on the left, Professor Transtan, the most famous linguist in Eliya, and also one of our key talents for this project."

Hu Ming moved his finger, pointing at Charles, and continued speaking.

"This is Captain Charles. We will have to rely on his ship, the Far Voyage, to guide us on this trip to the Land of Gold."

As George saw that Hu Ming was about to introduce himself, he took a step forward and stubbornly snorted.

"Let me tell you myself. My name is George, and I'm a well-known professional assassin in Elijah. I was tricked into joining this gang by that bastard Hu Ming."

Everyone present was stunned when these words were spoken!
