Tomb Raider: Evolution of the Red Dragon, Starting from the Ancient City of Jingjue

"Jiang Hua, aren't you going to help me? Those two are ostracizing me. We're supposed to be partners on missions together. If they keep ostracizing me like this, I can't expect them to help me with the missions!"

Seeing that he was being looked down upon, Lao Wang immediately turned to look at Jiang Hua, hoping to get Jiang Hua's help.

However, after seeing this, Jiang Hua slowly picked up her cup and started drinking, as if to tell Lao Wang, "Don't look for me, I don't know anything."

Seeing that the three of them were ignoring him, Old Wang couldn't help but show a pained expression, continuing to look at them with a wronged look.

After the farce ended, everyone returned to the hotel to get some rest.

However, Jiang Hua did not lie down on the bed to sleep immediately, because she needed to learn more about the mission.

"Quanzhen Stele Valley..."

Jiang Hua noticed these four words and clicked on them directly.

Before he could even click through, Jiang Hua discovered that the task was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

However, Jiang Hua only glanced at some of the information because the report was rather vague.

It seems to be trying to express that this place is extremely terrifying, but due to some limitations, it cannot be expressed in too much detail.

This is why Jiang Hua doesn't know much about it.

Jiang Hua glanced at the website address and thought that Yun might be able to contact the website owner.

Thinking of this, Jiang Hua immediately took his computer to Yun's room, and sure enough, Yun was also learning about the mission.

"Jiang Hua, is there something you need from me?"

Even though it was the middle of the night, Yun knew that Jiang Hua must have something to talk to her about, otherwise she wouldn't have come over so suddenly.

Jiang Hua nodded as he listened, then closed the door and showed Yun the message displayed on his computer screen.

"You saw this report too? And it only came out recently, just a few days ago. It seems like they deliberately let us see it. I suspect that someone knew we were going on a mission and that's why they released this report to us."

As Yun spoke, she couldn't help but frown.

Because the timing of this report was shortly after they agreed to Tang Ge's promise that they would take Lao Wang to the mission destination.

"Can you contact the author of this report? If you can, perhaps we can get some information from him. If he really is showing it to us, then it shouldn't be a problem for us to ask him for information."

Jiang Hua felt a glimmer of hope as she listened.

If this person really intentionally showed them the information, then as long as Jiang Hua offers him something in exchange, he will most likely tell Jiang Hua the information.

"Let me give it a try."

Yun nodded, picked up her laptop, and quietly went to the table to contact the author, while Jiang Hua waited for Yun beside her.

"We've made contact!"

Suddenly, Yun looked at Jiang Hua excitedly and said something. Hearing Yun say this, Jiang Hua quickly came to Yun's side.

"Hello, I am the author of this report. You must be Jiang Hua, right?" Just as Jiang Hua and Yun were getting excited, this message suddenly came from the other end.

This made Jiang Hua and Yun wonder a little.

It seems that the author already knew about them, but this made Jiang Hua and Yun feel a little strange.

"It's me, what's wrong?"

Jiang Hua took the computer and replied to the author.

"I want to see you. I wonder if you would be willing to meet me? It's just the two of us, and no one else can come with us."

The author's reply was becoming increasingly strange to Jiang Hua and Yun.

For a moment, they couldn't help but frown, pondering how to reply to the author.

"Jiang Hua, do you want to go? I have a feeling that things aren't that simple. Could this be a trap? If you really go, I'm worried that you might get hurt or not come back."

Yun looked at Jiang Hua with a worried expression and said.

Jiang Hua is their backbone. If their team were to lose Jiang Hua, the mission would have to be abandoned.

Although Jiang Hua was puzzled by this, she still slowly replied to the author.

Where would you like to meet?

Jiang Hua always had a feeling that the author knew where they were going and where they were now.

"There's a small restaurant in the village just after the service area. I'll let you know once I've made a reservation."

Sure enough, this reply indirectly told Jiang Hua that the author really knew where Jiang Hua and Qin Feng were.

"Does he know where we are? Or has he installed a tracking system on us?"

Seeing this, Yun couldn't help but feel puzzled and asked Jiang Hua in front of her.

Jiang Hua is also full of doubts, but he doesn't know who to ask for answers.

"Yun Jianghua, are you two here?"

Suddenly, Qin Feng's voice came from the doorway. Hearing that it was Qin Feng, Yun quickly opened the door and let Yun in.

But seeing that Jiang Hua and Yun both looked a little off, Qin Feng quickly asked them what had happened.

"Jiang Hua, you're not really going, are you? Who knows what this guy is thinking when he sees you? Do you think he wants to cooperate with us? I have a feeling that if you go, it will be bad for you."

Qin Feng looked at Jiang Hua in front of him with some concern and said.

Jiang Hua also considered the concerns that Qin Feng and Yun had.

However, Jiang Hua's intuition told him that if he didn't meet the author, he might suffer even more losses later.

So after thinking for a while, Jiang Hua looked up at Qin Feng and Yun, and they both received the message.

"I think it's a good idea to meet with him."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Hua ignored Qin Feng and Yun's attempts to stop him and continued replying to the author. Soon, Jiang Hua and the author set a time.

This timing seemed to have been calculated long ago.

It seems they already knew the speed at which Jiang Hua and his group were driving.

"This person is not simple."

Jiang Hua raised an eyebrow as he looked at the address and time, becoming even more curious about who this author was.

"If you're free tonight, Yun, could you help me learn more about this? If you can, it would be best to find out his identity as well. But it's okay if you can't find out; you'll understand when you see him tomorrow."

After Jiang Hua finished speaking, she stretched and left Yun's room.

Qin Feng and Yun couldn't help but worry a little when they saw Jiang Hua's nonchalant attitude.

"I'll try my best to find out about this author. That way, I can have some information about him before Jiang Hua goes to see him. After all, we're in the open while he's in the dark, so we're at a disadvantage no matter what."

After finishing, Yun continued to hold the computer, her hands moving rapidly across the keyboard.

Qin Feng stood to the side, and after a while, he also felt that he couldn't be of much help here.

So he stormed out of Yun's room.

However, Qin Feng was neither angry at Yun nor at Jiang Hua.

He's angry with himself because he feels like he's useless and can't help at all.

Today, he flew into a rage because of something Lao Wang said. Perhaps it was because Lao Wang's words really struck a nerve, causing the fig leaf he had been unwilling to remove to be suddenly ripped away.

So he couldn't help but become angry and embarrassed.

Qin Feng walked slowly, pondering whether he could help Jiang Hua. (End of Chapter)
