Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 899 Attack!

Under the pitch-black night sky, a campfire shone brightly in the campsite before us.

Hu Ming hesitated for a moment when he saw Chen Yundi sitting down next to him and asked.

"Ms. Chen, could you answer a question for me?"

Chen Yundi said frankly, "Of course, what do you want to ask?"

Hu Ming's expression turned serious, and he directly asked the question that had been bothering him.

"Who were those people who attacked us before? And why did they want to get rid of us?"

The fat man looked confused. The person who attacked them was Li Sanye, the underground boss in the suburbs of Beijing. Didn't Hu Ming already know this?
Why would he bother asking again now?

Hu Bayi reacted quickly; he instantly understood Hu Ming's intention.
At this moment, he deliberately coughed, subtly reminding the fat man.

“That’s right, all three of us are very curious about that.”

Upon hearing this, the fat man vaguely understood.

"Are Hu Ming and his group trying to get their hands on this—the second young lady of the Chen family?"

At this moment, Chen Yundi spoke softly, "Hu Ming, these people are some of our family's business rivals. This time, they are only trying to cut off your ability to help our Chen family."

Hu Ming's eyes flashed with a strange light as he softly pressed, "Miss Chen, you still haven't told us who these people are?"

A hint of hesitation flashed in Chen Yundi's eyes, but she shook her head and replied, "I'm sorry, I'm not quite sure about that either."

"This woman is lying to us!"

Hu Ming and the other two thought the same thing at the same time.

The fat man's gaze towards Chen Yundi shifted from initial admiration to wariness.

"Why is this woman deliberately trying to mislead us on this point? What is she up to?"

Hu Ming, instead of directly exposing Miss Chen's lie, replied with a disappointed expression.

"Is that so? That's a real pity!" Chen Yundi seemed unwilling to discuss this topic further, so she changed the subject.

"We're not far from our destination now. Let's rest for a bit and set off tonight. We'll arrive in another half hour."

"We're fine on our end!"

Hu Ming glanced at the two people beside him and gave his answer.

At this moment, Hu Bayi stood up alertly.

"Amin, something's up!"

Hu Bayi said with a serious expression.

Everyone else present was startled and turned to look at Hu Bayi, who had spoken.

He lay down, his right ear pressed tightly against the ground.

"There are seven or eight people. They are well-trained and their steps are very rhythmic. They are coming this way!"

Hu Bayi looked up at Hu Ming and reported on the situation he had discovered.

"Ok, I know!"

Hu Ming said softly...

Chen Yundi's expression changed drastically, and she urged him on as if she had a premonition of something.

"Let's get going right now!"

Hu Ming stepped forward, looked into the eyes of the second young lady of the Chen family, and asked.

"Miss Chen, you know who's chasing us, don't you?"

Chen Yundi dared not look him in the eye at that moment, and avoided his gaze, speaking in a low voice.

"Hu Ming, I don't know what you're talking about. It's time to set off!" "Hey, you little wench, you've been trying to fool the three of us brothers with lies since just now. Don't think we can't see through you."

The fat man, still unconvinced, stepped forward and laid his cards on the table.

Seeing that a conflict was about to break out, the Chen family members quickly stood in front of their second young lady, glaring angrily at the three tomb raiders they had recruited.

"Stop talking nonsense. We invited you here to serve me, why are you making such a fuss!"

"That's right, don't forget, our Chen family paid a hefty sum to invite you here, you must remember that!"

"Hurry up and get to work. You can't question the young lady's orders."

The Chen family members started to speak one after another, making the atmosphere even more intense.

Hu Bayi's face was gloomy, and he remained silent for a moment.

Hu Ming, however, remained expressionless!
Chen Yundi stopped the Chen family members around her: "Enough, all of you, quiet down!"

She turned to Hu Ming and the other two apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, they meant no harm. But right now, we should unite and act together."

Hu Ming glanced at her, then said, "Fatty, Old Hu, we'll cover the rear and help Miss Chen and the others escape first!"

The fat man pouted somewhat unhappily: "I know, what can we do? We're just outsiders hired by them!"

Hu Bayi nudged his shoulder, signaling that they shouldn't stir up trouble at this point.

Hu Ming and his two companions set up their positions in the direction of the pursuers.

Chen Yundi watched the three of them leave. At this moment, a member of the Chen family stepped forward and made a suggestion.

"Second Miss, these three don't seem to be very obedient. Why don't we leave a few people behind and take care of them here later?"

Chen Yundi glared fiercely at the Chen family member who had spoken, giving him a stern warning.

"Don't get any funny ideas. The ancestral tomb still needs the help of these three. You take four people and stay behind to give them a final boost. Make sure these three reach the ancestral tomb alive."

The young man from the Chen family quickly lowered his head and said, "Yes, Miss, I'll do it right away!"

On the other side, Hu Ming, along with two others, went to the bushes ahead and lay in ambush.

The fat man lay down and used the night vision goggles on his waist to look in the direction from which the footsteps were coming from.

"Good heavens, these people are all fully armed, with both long and short guns in their hands. They look like professional mercenaries."

Hu Bayi frowned and said, "So powerful? It seems that the enemy that Miss Chen is hiding this time is no ordinary enemy."

Hu Ming drew his pistol from his waist, squinted, raised the muzzle, and aimed it at the well-trained mercenary who had come to the scene.

"It's too late to get off this pirate ship now. Fatty, Hu Bayi, stop these guys from advancing!"

"Leave it to your fat man!"

The fat man patted his chest and assured him, then with a wave of his hand, took out the homemade explosives he had brought with him from the satchel at his waist.

"This thing was originally intended to be useful in the tomb, but for now, it's going to benefit you bunch of bastards!"

He chuckled softly, and then forcefully threw the homemade explosive.

"call out--"

A black shadow swept through the air and landed in front of the mercenaries who were rushing forward.

"Oh no, it's an enemy attack!"

The mercenary leader, a seasoned veteran, swiftly dove to the side.

"Boom!"

The deafening explosion echoed deep within the jungle under the cover of night.

At that moment, Hu Ming also pulled the trigger, firing a scorching hot bullet that pierced through a mercenary who was getting up and killed him!
