Tomb raiding: A mere 20 is nothing!

Xie Yuchen never expected to see this scene.

When he met Zhang Qilan's gaze, he concealed his emotions well and simply said softly, "I'll get in the car first."

None of the talkative ones were around, and he didn't want to disturb the sleeping Shen Mingchao, so he took his briefcase, got into a car, and sat in the back seat to handle official business.

About half an hour later, Wu Xie and his group finally finished packing up and came to the lobby to call Xiao Ge and the others to get in the car. They also discovered this "heartwarming" scene.

To be honest, Wu Xie was feeling a mix of emotions at that moment, and he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

He slowed his pace and walked over, saying, "Young man, it's time to set off."

Zhang Qilin glanced at Wu Xie, nodded to indicate that he understood, and then reached out and gently patted Shen Mingchao's shoulder.

"Huh?" Shen Mingchao woke up, still a little groggy, and subconsciously asked, "Are they leaving?"

Zhang Qi didn't move his lips, but let out a soft "hmm" from his throat.

"understood."

Shen Mingchao rubbed her eyes. Through her blurry vision, she saw Zhang Qiyu standing up beside her. She instinctively tugged at his sleeve.

She found herself a trustworthy guide.

After the two left the hotel, Shen Mingchao casually glanced at the long convoy of cars, picked the one with the most upscale exterior and the most comfortable interior, and drove over.

She didn't recognize the license plate, but she wouldn't skimp on herself; for a journey of more than ten hours, she had to choose the best one.

"Click".

Shen Mingchao opened the car door and was about to get in when he bent down and found that there was someone else in the car.

They looked at each other, a subtle awkwardness lingering between them.

Shen Mingchao thought to himself: She really knows how to pick a car. How could the God of Wealth's car not be good?

Xie Yuchen raised an eyebrow, genuinely surprised that Shen Mingchao would get into his car.

He moved over: "Come on up."

The person had already leaned half their body inside; it would be too impolite to kick them off the bus.

"it is good."

After Shen Mingchao got into the car, the back seats were full, so Zhang Qiyu sat in the passenger seat.

There is one driver's seat left in this car.

The Xie family was supposed to drive, but before they could even get there, Wu Xie stopped them.

"I'll drive."

The Xie family members were taken aback. The Wu family's and Xie family's convoys were separate, and Wu Xie, as the leader of the Wu family's convoy, should have gotten into their Wu family's car. Not knowing Wu Xie's intentions, he didn't ask any further questions and simply stepped aside.

The fat man followed, looking troubled and concerned: "Tianzhen, this is driving all night, can you handle it?"

Wu Xie replied irrelevantly, "Fatty, don't worry, we have our reasons."

Their conversation wasn't in vain; there was one thing they wanted to confirm.

The fat man hesitated for a moment, then finally sighed deeply and patted Wu Xie on the shoulder.

"Fatty, it's not appropriate for me to interfere in this matter. If you're too tired from driving, don't push yourself. Driving while fatigued is unsafe. There are quite a few young people in the team, so you can stop and let them drive. As for the rest, don't worry. Many things can't be rushed. If it really doesn't work, we can wait until we get back to Beijing to resolve it."

The fat man rambled on and on.

Upon hearing this, the White Snake, with great tact, moved closer and calmly said, "I can stay up all night, and I'm also a good driver."

Wu Xie was speechless.

This guy really knows how to jump on a bandwagon.

"What's it to you?" The fat man grabbed the white snake and dragged it away. "Come ride in that car with your fat grandpa."

The White Snake was no match for the fat man's strength and couldn't break free at all. Her pale face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and she had only one thought in her mind: They're such an eyesore, I really want to throw them all into the water.

After Wu Xie got into the car, he took the walkie-talkie and said in a deep voice, "Let's go."

They were the lead car, so they had to be the first to drive out and lead the team.

After that, one car after another started up, the roar of engines rising and falling, creating a tremendous spectacle.

A new milestone was set in this quiet night.

Only then did Shen Mingchao gain a clearer understanding of the Nine Gates represented by Wu Xie and others.

She stole a glance from the back seat at Wu Xie's sharply defined profile and had to admit a fact.

Wu Xie, known as the Evil Emperor, is indeed very intimidating. He can command a group of people with just two words, showing the composure of a superior in control of the whole situation.

He's quite handsome.

After the car started moving, Shen Mingchao was annoyed to find that she was no longer sleepy. She didn't know if it was because of the coffee or because she had just shaken off her drowsiness.

It was pitch black outside the car window. She stared at it listlessly and sighed unconsciously.

The sound, however, attracted the attention of others.

"Can't you sleep?"

Meeting Xie Yuchen's gaze, Shen Mingchao nodded helplessly: "A little."

Xie Yuchen thought for a moment, then asked, "Do you want a tablet? I've finished my business."

"real?!"

Shen Mingchao's eyes were filled with joy, her excitement overflowing. After five months of being offline, was she finally going to return to the embrace of the internet?!

"Here you go." Xie Yuchen handed over the tablet, adding, "There aren't many entertainment apps on it. You can download them yourself if you need them."

Shen Mingchao was overjoyed. After browsing through it briefly, he discovered that it was indeed full of office software.

That fits her stereotype of a CEO perfectly.

Sadly, the games she used to play to pass the time were not available in 2015.

Shen Mingchao opted for Happy Match as a second choice.

To avoid disturbing others, she deliberately muted the sound, and then enthusiastically opened the game.

The dazzling elimination effects that filled the screen were so eye-catching that Xie Yuchen's gaze was unconsciously drawn to them.

Until Shen Mingchao got stuck.

Seeing the girl's troubled and thoughtful expression, he hesitated for a moment before pointing to a spot: "Here."

A single finger can bring sudden enlightenment.

Following Xie Yuchen's instructions, Shen Mingchao swapped the two blocks and watched as the special blocks were combined one after another, as if he had a cheat code, and he cleared the level directly.

"Whoa!"

"Is this the legendary 'Immortal Pointing the Way'?"

Having tasted the benefits, Shen Mingchao leaned closer, tablet in hand, a fawning smile on his face, "Could the immortal point the way a few more times?"

Xie Yuchen suddenly became reserved, then slowly relaxed, and met Shen Mingchao's expectant gaze, saying, "Okay."

He shouldn't have agreed.

But he agreed, almost as if possessed.

When Shen Mingchao got tired of playing the game and felt sleepy, he returned the tablet, and Xie Yuchen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Hearing Shen Mingchao's breathing become long and even, Xie Yuchen looked up and met Wu Xie's gaze through the rearview mirror. The two exchanged subtle, unspoken meanings in their eyes.

Wu Xie frowned: "Xiao Hua, have you made up your mind? This is no small matter."

A flash of cold light appeared, and in the blink of an eye, the butterfly knife was in Xie Yuchen's hand.

His expression was solemn as he said, "Let me try."
