Tomb Raider: What the hell is this strange commission?

The two men didn't talk loudly, but even though people could only hear a few words from their facial expressions, they could tell that the two sides failed to reach an agreement in the end.

But Wu Sanxing still led them through this road successfully.

The vehicles moved away in an orderly manner under the command of the two parties, and finally went to a village not far from the destination as their stopover.

The people here seemed to have been arranged in advance. They did not show any surprise at the arrival of these vehicles. Instead, they came forward to greet them and asked if they needed guest rooms to rest.

Wu Sanxing waved his hand and naturally there were people serving him. Chi Yu also followed in the team and was taken into the earthen house to rest.

However, as tomb robbers, facing the temptation of the big oil bucket behind the village, no one in the team can just sit there and do nothing.

Seeing that it was still bright in the sky, they thought it would be a waste of time if they just rested like this, so they took their equipment and went to explore the back mountain.

Before heading to Tianhu Lake, the three unlucky guys went to find Chi Yu as usual.

In the end, the other party didn't even open the door. Instead, he said "No" in a cold voice, which made them swallow the rest of their words. The three of them looked at each other for a while and left quietly.

Chi Yu sat in the room that he had renovated, holding a German version of "Basic Sanskrit Reader" in his hand and reading it slowly.

This is the book that Black Glasses found for him.

After making the bold statement of "learning by myself", Chi Yu was ready to rely on his good memory to directly collect some Sanskrit volumes on the market and read them by comparison.

At that time, the man with black glasses was chatting with him on the phone. He happened to ask Chi Yu if he could speak German. After getting a positive answer, he smiled and asked him to wait.

Chi Yu was originally wondering what the other party was up to, but not long after, a man with black glasses came with a book.

"Without systematic teaching, even if you are a genius, you will have to take some detours. But I am a kind-hearted person and I can't bear to see you suffer, Boss Chi. Here, this book is for you."

"It's the first edition of the textbook from 1869. It's amazing that you can preserve it so well."

"That's right. This is a rare treasure on the market. I won't give it to others even if they want it."

When Black Glasses said this, he had an extremely contagious smile on his face. He looked at Chi Yu and said, "Boss Chi, I have reluctantly given up my love for you. You have to let me make some money somewhere else, right?"

Chi Yu lowered his eyes, and gently stroked the slightly yellowed book with his slender fingers. He finished reading the contents and slowly turned to the next page.

Those three unlucky guys went to the back mountain without any preparation, and they would definitely return disappointed. Such an action would only waste their energy that had nowhere to vent.

There are only two people who truly control the entrance to Tianhu Lake, one is Wu Sanxing and the other is Chi Yu.

Wu Sanxing is still in a stalemate with Jie Yuchen, and the game between the two is yet to be decided.

And Chi Yu was waiting here for the end of this contest.

This might waste a few days of his time, but Chi Yu knew that he wouldn't wait too long for it.

Because as time goes by, the person who feels anxious about this will inevitably lose the game, and they all know who will pay for this defeat.

During the three days since they arrived in Nandong Village, Chi Yu stayed in his room reading and hardly went out.

The few idiots brought by Wu Sansheng returned empty-handed on the first day, and continued to look for it on the second day. In the end, they found that they could not tell what it was just by looking at the lake surface, so it was a complete waste of effort.

So they all returned to their rooms covered in dust and dirt, covered themselves with quilts and went to sleep.

The guys belonging to Xie Yuchen outside were also wandering around the back mountain.

Some visited the village, some searched in the mountains, and some salvaged from the bottom of the lake. In short, the division of labor was clear, and as long as Xie Yuchen did not call for a stop, they would keep searching.

The guys learned from the people they visited in the village that there were strange objects in the lake and even some old ruins left.

But as to what their leader Xie wanted to find from this lake, no one could tell for sure.

Wu Sansheng watched coldly as the Xie family's servants were ordered around by Xie Yuchen, running errands for him.

Even if the enemy's men did salvage a lot of porcelain fragments and bronze artifacts from the bottom of the lake, as long as they have not gone into the water, they will not be able to grasp the key to the bottom of the lake.

Wu Sansheng knew clearly that Xie Yuchen's current actions were all for him to see, and the other party was reluctant to ask people to go into the water to find the entrance because Xie Yuchen knew what kind of person Wu Sansheng was.

As long as Xie Yuchen dared to let the diving equipment be delivered, Wu Sansheng would dare to borrow it directly instead of waiting in this village for the Wu family's guys to deliver the next batch of equipment.

Chi Yu arrived at the edge of Tianhu Lake on the evening of the fourth day after their departure.

Although Nandong Village was not wealthy enough to even have electricity by the lake, the Xie family's servants all lit lamps, and those scattered lights combined together illuminated Tianhu Lake.

They paddled the boat in the lake, swaying back and forth on the surface of the lake. People kept shouting, and it looked very lively.

Xie Yuchen stood alone by the lake.

Even in summer, the wind in Tianhu Lake is still a little chilly at night. The young man, who looked a little thin during the day, now put on a light-colored windbreaker and stood there silently gazing into the distance.

Chi Yu's steps were always light, and although she made no sound when she walked past, Xie Yuchen still tilted his head slightly.

He took a look at the person who came and found it was Chi Yu, then nodded to him in understanding: "It's you."

Chi Yu stood beside him and looked calmly at the lake reflecting the lights with him: "This should be the second time we meet, Boss Jie."

"Yes, it's the second time we meet." Xie Yuchen smiled, "I didn't expect that this meeting would be in such a scene."

After laughing, he asked again: "What is Wu Sanxing waiting for?"

"He ordered a batch of new equipment from outside."

"Then he probably won't be able to wait." Xie Yuchen said, "I won't do anything that I'm not sure of."

"I guess so." Chi Yu smiled.

Since Xie Yuchen has already robbed people of their equipment, it is impossible for Wu Sanxing to get it again through other means.

He will firmly grasp the channels to obtain these things in his own hands, and then force the other party to compromise.

When Chi Yu looked at Xie Yuchen like this, sometimes it was like seeing his past self.

Although there are many differences between them, the occasional similarities inevitably make Chi Yu feel a little emotional.

For example, this kind of persistence of not giving up until the goal is achieved took him a long time to finally get rid of it.

So now Chi Yu has learned to give up excessively seeking an answer.

The young Xie Yuchen came here for what he was looking for in his heart.
