Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 895 The Client!
"Wow, Armin, there's a big deal coming up!"

The fat man enthusiastically put his arm around Hu Ming's shoulder and said excitedly.

Hu Bayi, also intrigued, asked, "Hu Ming, it looks like a big business deal has come knocking!"

Hu Ming chuckled and said, "You two, don't be so impatient. Let me see what kind of deal this is."

As he spoke, he dialed back the voicemail number.

"Beep beep beep—".

No one answered the phone!
Hu Ming frowned, somewhat surprised, and said, "It's strange that no one came to pick us up."

The fat man stretched lazily to the side: "Perhaps this big spender is busy right now. Let's find a place to rest first, and then call him back later?"

Seeing that things were like this, Hu Ming had no choice but to agree.

"Alright, I'll do as you say, Fatty. Let's find a hotel to stay in first!"

Hu Bayi picked up his phone and chuckled, saying, "I've already booked a room online. This way!"

A moment later, Hu Ming and his two companions checked into the hotel building.

The three of them requested a large room, which included a master bedroom and two secondary bedrooms.

Hu Ming and the other two entered the living room, put their suitcases aside, and collapsed onto the sofa, exhausted.

"First, there was the bumpy ride on that yacht, then the plane ride back, and now Fatty feels like his whole body is about to fall apart!"

The fat man sprawled on the sofa and complained loudly.

"Stop it, we haven't rested at all either!"

Hu Bayi sat on the opposite sofa and said in an annoyed tone.

Hu Ming walked alone to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the bustling traffic outside, and dialed the voicemail number on his phone.

The call still didn't go through, which puzzled Hu Ming.

"What the hell is this? Why can't I get through? Are they deliberately messing with us?"

Meanwhile, the female secretary following Chen Yundi gripped the vibrating phone of the second young lady tightly in her handbag.

After seeing off the guest, Chen Yundi turned to her secretary and said...

"That's strange, why hasn't Hu Ming called me back yet? Didn't he see my voicemail?"

The female secretary quickly chuckled and said, "Maybe he's busy right now, he'll call back soon!"

"Perhaps that's what you mean!"

Chen Yundi shook her head helplessly and turned to deal with the rest of her work.

The female secretary said apologetically, "Miss, I'm going to the restroom."

As she spoke, she took small, quick steps and rushed into the restroom on the side.

The female mole, who was lying in wait, took out the second young lady's cell phone from her handbag, quickly deleted the call from Hu Ming's number, and dialed her own cell phone.

With a "beep", the call was connected.

A cold, male voice asked, "What's wrong?"

The female secretary yelled frantically, "Hurry up! I've already sent you Hu Ming's contact number, why haven't you taken control of him yet? Right now, he's constantly calling the Second Miss back."

The cold-faced man ordered, "Hang up as we instructed, then delete the caller ID. We're tracking Hu Ming's movements and will find him soon."

"You guys need to hurry up, or the Second Miss might become alert and easily discover that I'm the one secretly plotting this."

The female secretary urged anxiously.

"Okay, keep up the good work!"

The man on the other end of the phone left with those words before hanging up. "Damn bastard!"

The female secretary couldn't help but curse out loud. She walked to the sink, turned on the faucet, scooped up a handful of cold tap water, and splashed it on her face.

"Hopefully, I can hold on a little longer. This second young lady shouldn't doubt me!"
I'm sorry to disappoint you!

The half-open bathroom door was pushed open from the outside, and Chen Yundi, the second young lady of the Chen family, strode in.

"Second, Second Miss!"

Caught off guard, the female secretary froze in shock as Chen Yundi snatched her phone away right in front of her.

Who was the man you just spoke to?

Chen Yundi asked with an icy look in her eyes.

The secretary's lips began to tremble. She lowered her head and shook her head in fear.

"Second Miss, I cannot say."

Chen Yundi sighed: "Do you think I'm a good person?"

The female secretary was surprised that the second young lady of the Chen family would suddenly ask such a strange question.
She subconsciously said, "Of course you are a good person, Miss. If you hadn't given me this opportunity, I wouldn't be the way I am today."

A cold glint flashed in Chen Yundi's eyes as she spoke in a deep voice.

"You're wrong. I've never wanted to be a good person. If you're unwilling to explain yourself clearly now, I'll hand you over to Chen Zihao and his gang."

"No, Second Miss!"

The female secretary immediately knelt down and said in a terrified tone.

"Don't hand me over to them, I'll be tortured to death."

Chen Yundi stepped forward and demanded an accusatory question.

"Then answer my question: Who is the man you contacted on the phone? What are you secretly plotting?"

The female secretary could no longer maintain her composure and completely broke down.

“I’ll tell you everything. They’ve set up a loan shark trap to force me to report everything about you, Miss, to them over the phone.”

The female secretary said, sobbing uncontrollably, "These people just instructed me to send them the phone number of Hu Ming that you contacted, Miss."

Chen Yundi immediately became alert: "Are they planning to attack Hu Ming?"

The female secretary nodded fearfully: "They want to control Hu Ming and use him to get involved in the matter of Miss's ancestral tomb."

"Damn it!"

Chen Yundi clenched her fists in anger. She quickly grabbed her extra phone and called Hu Ming.

"Dududu-"

After a long wait, the call was finally connected.

Hu Ming's amused yet exasperated question came from the other side.

"Hey, miss, you've finally decided to call me! I've called you four or five times already."

Chen Yundi didn't have time to explain further, so she could only offer the quickest reminder.

"Hey, Hu Ming, listen carefully. A very dangerous group of people are watching you. You must be on your guard."

"What did you say?"

Hu Ming listened to the call with a completely bewildered expression.

Just then, a knock sounded at the door. The fat man stood up from the sofa, walked over with a slight surprise, and said...

"Strange, who would come looking for us?"
