Tomb Raider【Filling My Heart with Unresolved Feelings】

At this time, Bai Mumu said: "Have you ever thought about why Mrs. Huo was so persistent in entering the Zhang family's ancient building? Do you really believe that she did it just for her daughter Huo Ling? To be honest, I personally don't believe it."

After hearing Bai Mumu's words, everyone fell into deep thought. Wu Xie frowned and said, "Indeed, Mrs. Huo's purpose may not be that simple. She is also a shrewd person among the Nine Gates. She is so eager to enter the Zhang Family Ancient Building this time. There must be a deeper reason."

Fatty Wang scratched his head and asked in confusion, "What is she after? It can't be for the treasure inside, right?"

Xie Yuchen shook his head slightly and denied it, "It's unlikely that it's just for the treasure. The Zhang family's ancient building is mysterious and unpredictable, and the dangers inside are unimaginable. Taking such a big risk just for money and property is not in line with Mrs. Huo's style."

The young man remained silent, but his eyes became more profound. Hei Xiazi touched his chin and analyzed slowly: "Except for the Zhang family members, outsiders are not allowed to enter the Zhang family's ancient building. Besides the strong skills and fighting skills of the Zhang family, there is only one person left who can be coveted by others."

Everyone reacted instantly and said in unison: "Eternal Life."

When everyone said the word "eternal life", the air seemed to freeze instantly. Everyone knew the huge temptation and danger behind these two words.

Wu Xie frowned and said slowly, "If Mrs. Huo really insisted on entering the Zhang family's ancient building for the sake of immortality, then this matter will be even more complicated. The secret of immortality has always been the goal pursued by countless people, but it has also brought endless disasters."

Xie Yuchen nodded slightly and said, "That's right, we must consider this cooperation more carefully. If Mrs. Huo's goal is immortality, then she is likely to do whatever it takes."

Fatty Wang swallowed his saliva and said, "My goodness, if this is really for immortality, then we can't easily agree to cooperate. This thing is too weird, and it might get us all involved. And the reason why the young man can be immortal is entirely because of the Qilin blood, they know it."

After hearing what Fatty Wang said, everyone fell silent again. Bai Mumu frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Even if the young man's immortality is due to the Qilin blood, Mrs. Huo and the others may not think so. In their eyes, the Zhang family's ancient building may hide the real secret of immortality. Moreover, they are likely to do whatever it takes to keep this secret."

Wu Xie nodded and said, "Mu Mu is right. We cannot underestimate their desire for immortality. But if we refuse to cooperate, Mrs. Huo and the others may take action on their own, which may bring even greater trouble."

Xie Yuchen pondered and said, "That's true. We need to think of a win-win strategy. We can't easily agree to cooperate, but we must also prevent them from acting on their own."

The young man remained silent, but there was a hint of determination in his eyes.

Everyone was silent for a long time and the atmosphere was solemn.

Hei Xia Zi was the first to break the deadlock. "How about we pretend to agree to cooperate first, and then act accordingly?"

Wu Xie frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "This is indeed a solution, but the risk is also great. If Old Lady Huo finds out, we may be in an even more dangerous situation."

Fatty Wang snorted, "That's better than just sitting there. Let's play a game with her and see who's better."

Xie Yuchen shook his head: "Don't be reckless. Pretending to cooperate requires us to have sufficient preparation and response strategies, otherwise it will easily backfire."

Bai Mumu nodded: "Yu Chen is right. We have to think about various possible situations and countermeasures first. Also, we can't completely trust Mrs. Huo, so we have to stay vigilant at all times."

The young man remained silent, but there seemed to be a hint of approval in his eyes.

Wu Xie sighed softly, "Okay, then let's discuss the specific plan first. If we pretend to cooperate, how can we seize the initiative and guard against Mrs. Huo's calculations?"

Everyone sat together and began to seriously discuss countermeasures. They analyzed Mrs. Huo's personality, purpose, and possible actions, trying to find a way to protect themselves and prevent Mrs. Huo from doing everything she could to achieve immortality.

After some intense discussion, they finally worked out a preliminary plan.

So in the following days, everyone began to make intensive preparations for the fake cooperation.

Wu Xie and the others pretended to refuse several attempts by Huo Xiangu, so Huo Xiangu sent Huo Xiuxiu to act as a lobbyist.

Huo Xiuxiu didn't want to come at first, because she didn't want to embarrass Brother Xiaohua, but when she saw her grandmother's determined eyes, she couldn't bear to refuse. She came to where Wu Xie and the others were with a hint of helplessness.

Huo Xiuxiu looked at everyone, bit her lip lightly, and said, "Brother Wu Xie, I know you have a lot of concerns, but grandma really hopes to cooperate with you. I don't want to see everyone deadlocked over this matter."

Wu Xie frowned slightly and said, "Xiu Xiu, it's not that we don't want to cooperate, but we are really unsure of Mrs. Huo's intentions. Moreover, the risk of this cooperation is too great, we can't take the risk lightly."

Huo Xiuxiu's eyes flashed with disappointment, and she said, "I understand your worries, but grandma is also thinking about the future of the Nine Gates. She thinks that only by entering the Zhang family's ancient building can we find some answers."

Fatty Wang snorted and said, "It sounds nice, but who knows what she is really thinking."

Huo Xiuxiu said hurriedly: "Brother Fatty, grandma really has no ill intentions. She just wants to do something for aunt, and also wants to solve some long-standing problems for the Nine Gates."

Hei Xiazi chuckled and said, "Xiao Xiuxiu, what you said is not right. Mrs. Huo's mind is not that simple. Who knows what she is after?"

Huo Xiuxiu was slightly startled, and then said: "Master Hei, please don't say that. Grandma really wants to find aunt, and for the future of Jiumen."

The young man remained silent, but there was a hint of vigilance in his cold eyes.

Wu Xie looked at Huo Xiuxiu and said seriously, "Xiuxiu, it's not that we don't want to cooperate, but we have to be cautious. Go back and tell Mrs. Huo to give us some time, and we will think about it carefully."

Huo Xiuxiu sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, Brother Wu Xie, I will tell grandma what you said. But you have to make a decision as soon as possible, time waits for no one."

After saying that, Huo Xiuxiu turned and left.
