Tomb raiding: A mere 20 is nothing!

Just as the three were breaking the deadlock, Shen Mingchao, holding his phone that had finally been turned on, was almost overwhelmed by the barrage of messages popping up. When he opened them, he saw that the red icon in the upper right corner of WeChat already showed hundreds of messages, along with a bunch of missed calls and text messages.

Replying to each one individually is clearly impractical.

Shen Mingchao immediately turned on her location services and posted a selfie on her WeChat Moments. The photo was taken in the snow, and the caption read: "In Russia, feeling good, except the rye bread is so dry QAQ"

Shortly after posting this on WeChat Moments, Wu Xie made a video call.

Shen Mingchao answered quickly. She had originally planned to call Wu Xie immediately after posting on her WeChat Moments, but she didn't expect him to be so fast.

"Hi!"

Shen Mingchao greeted them with a smile, but before he could say anything else, he saw the person in the video and choked up instantly.

The man looked exhausted, as if all his energy had been drained away.

"Ming... Ming Dynasty."

His voice was also a little hoarse.

Seeing Wu Xie like this, Shen Mingchao felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"Young Master, don't worry, I'm fine! I'm completely unharmed, not even a scratch. And I even saved someone! Aren't I amazing?!"

To further ease the tension, Shen Mingchao deliberately feigned a reproachful tone and began to nag, "You look terrible. Tell me, how long has it been since you had a proper rest?"

Suddenly, a teasing voice came from the other end of the video call, "So young, yet you have so many things to worry about."

The next second, the video screen was filled with a face. The man had excellent bone structure, slightly upturned eyes, and a bewitching smile.

"I've added you on WeChat, could you accept my request?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the phone screen switched, and Wu Xie's voice came through: "Brother Zhang, this is my phone."

"Tsk, a cell phone, and you're already asserting your ownership? We've been running around looking for it, we've done our part, haven't we? Don't you understand the principles of respecting the elderly and caring for the young? I'm much older than you—"

Before Zhang Haiyan could finish grumbling, a sharp gaze shot straight at him.

It's Zhang Qiyu.

Now I have to swallow any more words I want to say.

Their age was a taboo subject and couldn't be mentioned in front of Shen Mingchao. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome to explain.

Zhang Haiyan clicked his tongue and waved his hand, "Forget it, I'm generous, I won't hold it against you."

Shen Mingchao heard it clearly on the other end of the video and couldn't help but laugh. This little Zhang brother is quite interesting. He's so talkative, he's a breath of fresh air in the Zhang family.

After this incident, the atmosphere became much lighter.

"By the way, how's San San?"

It's been a while since I've seen my furry friend; I miss him.

Meow~

Perhaps hearing its owner's voice, a cat's head appeared in the shot.

The fat man took the phone and said, "Girl, don't worry about that. San San is being taken care of by us, and she's even gained weight."

"But girl, what exactly happened to you? How did you end up running so far?"

The second interrogation, though late, finally arrived.

Shen Mingchao looked mysterious and kept everyone in suspense: "Well, that's a long story."

"I'd like to hear the details," the fat man said.

She had no idea what to say or how Qi Qiu explained it to Xie Yuchen and Hei Xiazi.

On a whim, he joked, "V me for 50, and listen to my detailed rescue plan."

"What?"

You could tell the person on the other end was quite surprised.

Just as Shen Mingchao was wondering how to gloss over the situation, a commotion suddenly broke out outside. It seemed that the three living gods had returned, which was truly a lifesaver.

She feigned urgency and spoke very quickly: "That guy, Blackie, and his team are back after breaking the deadlock. I'll go check on things first. They'll tell you what happened later; it's too complicated for me to explain."

The key word: Push.

Just before hanging up the video call, Shen Mingchao solemnly reminded them, "I'm fine now, so you guys should go and rest, otherwise you'll really get rough! Especially you, Third Master."

After saying that, she hung up the video call decisively.

Thinking of Wu Xie's incredulous look in the last second, she couldn't help but laugh. As she laughed, the laughter slowly turned into a reassuring smile.

In this strange and unfamiliar world, it feels pretty good to have someone who cares about you.

Remembering someone's words, Shen Mingchao opened the friend request again and found that there was more than one.

Except for the note that it belongs to Zhang Haiyan.

Another one is a note for Zhang Haike.

Oh, I remember now, it's that narcissistic Zhang family member.

Because of her idol, she had a pretty good impression of the Zhang family.

It's definitely not because they're handsome.

No!

After exchanging WeChat messages with her, Shen Mingchao suddenly noticed a private message popping up on her Weibo account.

Shen Mingchao was full of question marks. She had just opened her Weibo account and was originally planning to create a super topic for Zhang Qilin.

Unfortunately, the plan failed because she had fewer than 10,000 followers on Weibo. Later, she got bored and turned her Weibo into a dedicated promotional account for Xilaimian.

Shen Mingchao thought someone was asking for advice, but when she opened Weibo and saw the contents of the private message, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

Lost_Sorrow: [Hello, in the third picture of your most recent Weibo post, is the man in black behind you surnamed Zhang? This is very important to me, please reply if you see this, thank you.]

Wait, this name... could it be Liu Sang?

That infamous Zhang Qilu toxic fan?

Shen Mingchao stared at the only picture with Zhang Qilin in it, which was so blurry that only a faint outline remained, completely baffled.

How did this guy even find this guy?!

Could Zhang Qilin really be Liu Sang's trap? Even with a blurry photo, the other party was able to find him by smell.

After much deliberation, Shen Mingchao decided not to reply to Liu Sang.

It's better to avoid trouble. She didn't know much about the plot, only that Liu Sang was one of the characters in the Tomb Raider Chronicles.

But what does this have to do with her? She doesn't need to recruit people to go into the tomb.

The noise outside grew clearer, and Shen Mingchao got up and walked outside, still somewhat worried.

"How did it go? Are you all alright?"

The sound came from afar on the second floor.

Seeing Shen Mingchao running towards him, Hei Xiazi stepped forward, speaking somewhat incoherently.

"If a pretty young girl were to give a blind man a warm hug right now, I would instantly be fully revived."

Qi Qiu said he couldn't bear to watch.

Xie Yuchen was even more disgusted, knowing that Hei Xiazi's old habit of being a jerk had struck again. He was about to step forward and tell Shen Mingchao to ignore this person when he heard the girl's crisp voice.

"OK!"

A figure crashed straight into Black Bear's arms, with a touch of reckless softness.

Black Bear was stunned.

After a brief moment of surprise, he tightened his arms around her. The girl was wearing a sweater that felt soft and fluffy, and a warm breath gradually dispelled the chill from his body.

That's really foul.

If this continues, the blind man will be unable to resist his lust.
