Qiu Dekao picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said, "Mr. Wu, we can still discuss cooperation."
Wu Erbai didn't take it seriously. He waved the fan in his hand and whispered, "Cooperation requires bargaining chips. What do you have? Your goal is to find the Zhang family's ancient building, and I want to find my nephew. Our goals are different, and the equipment and manpower I brought far exceed yours. Also, you don't have more information than our Wu family, right? Therefore, you are not qualified to discuss cooperation with me.
If you don't cause trouble for me, I will naturally let you go, but if you do, I will sink your entire team to the bottom of the lake and make you immortal."
Qiu Dekao tightened his cane again, suppressing his anger, and continued in a gentle voice: "What about the gentleman? He must have the qualifications. I am just the executor of the gentleman's orders. This time, it is the gentleman who wants to talk to you."
As soon as Qiu Dekao finished speaking, Shen Tingsi pushed the door open and came in, smiling as always. Judging from his appearance, he looked like a modest gentleman, but Wu Erbai knew that this man was a bad person to the core. However, he still respected him. He still clearly remembered the look of Shen Tingsi when he came down from the teahouse in a water-blue robe.
Thinking about this, Wu Erbai stood up, bowed and said, "Sir, long time no see."
Shen Tingsi nodded slightly, motioning Wu Erbai to sit down, and then he sat down as well. Then he spoke, "Erbai, it's been a long time since we last met. Time makes people grow old."
Wu Erbai smiled and said, "Sir, you are still so young."
Shen Tingsi waved his hand and sighed, "I'm getting old, and my body is getting worse day by day. Maybe the next time we meet, you'll be attending my funeral."
"It's my honor. Are you still with Uncle Rishan?" Wu Erbai really asked casually this time. When he came, he heard that Zhang Rishan had left the Crescent Hotel for a long time. Thinking that the two of them were often together, he asked.
Shen Tingsi pondered for a moment and said, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I really wouldn't have noticed it. I haven't seen him for a long time since he got angry with me last time. Who knows where he might have gone to hide again."
"Thank you for your hard work, sir." Wu Erbai said with a hint of meaning.
Chen Tingsi smiled and said, "It's nothing. He always likes to act like a spoiled child. He'll be fine after a while. By the way, I brought you here this time because I wanted to discuss a cooperation with you, but from what you said just now, you don't want to?"
"I'm just here to see my nephew. I have no intention of cooperating with him, but if you need me, I will do my best to provide support." Wu Erbai's smile did not reach his eyes. He just wanted to avoid Shen Tingsi as soon as possible.
Shen Tingsi rarely spoke reasonably, "Well, I'm not the kind of person who would embarrass the younger generation. I found your nephew for you. He's with me now. When I'm done with this matter, I'll send him back personally."
Wu Erbai's eyes darkened. He knew this man had bad intentions and had actually taken control of him first... Wu Erbai curled his lips slightly and said, "Don't bother me, sir. I'll go visit him and pick him up this time. I heard that he's been fond of Elsholtzia ciliata recently, so I'll give it to him as a token of my gratitude."
Shen Tingsi paused for a moment and then continued to play with his fingers, "Erbai... The Wu family has been quite idle lately."
"Not bad." Wu Erbai said with a smile.
Shen Tingsi snorted coldly and said, "Your nephew is not in danger at the moment. He is trapped in the underground palace under the lake with my disobedient little apprentice. This is why I want to talk to you about cooperation. If you agree, I will bring your nephew up with me. If you don't agree, then let him fend for himself down there. I heard that this underground palace is full of dangers. I'm afraid he won't last more than two days."
Wu Erbai took a deep breath. This little bastard really gave him a lot of trouble, so he had no choice but to agree.
…
In the underground palace, Wuxie and his companions chiseled out an exit before a large number of jade figurines caught up, and blocked the exit after everyone came out to prevent the jade figurines from running out.
The injuries on Fatty and Jie Yuchen were simply treated. Now they were safe, and everyone sat on the ground without caring whether they were dirty or not. However, Hei Xiazi still carefully put a coat on Jie Yuchen. As for Ji Huaichuan, who was knocked unconscious by Zhang Qiling before, he was naturally awake now.
Hei Xia Zi pulled Jie Yuchen closer just to have a taste of the melon. Wu Xie was a little tired from the fight between the two and was the farthest away. Fatty also wanted to have a taste of the melon, but it would be impolite to get any closer, so he had to squat behind Hei Xia Zi and the others to listen secondhand.
There were two people, one of them didn't say a word but followed the person diligently, while the other didn't even glance at him and was determined to be angry to the end. Hei Xiazi was anxious. Although the young master had a bad temper, he was the most tolerant towards the mute. Although he liked to make small quarrels normally, he had never been so angry.
Black Blind Man wanted to know what the mute had done, so he asked, "Little Master, why did you faint just now?"
Accurately stepping on the thunder spot! Ji Huaichuan first glanced at Hei Xiazi, then glanced at Zhang Qiling, and said: "Ask him what good things he has done!"
Hearing this, Wuxie, who was far away, wanted to say, "I know this! It happened right in front of me!" But he didn't dare.
The remaining few people turned their heads to Zhang Qiling. Zhang Qiling slowly lowered his head and tugged at his hat. He didn't want to say anything.
"Hmph, you've already done it and you're still afraid to say it out loud?" Ji Huaichuan snorted.
"no."
Ji Huaichuan instantly opened his eyes wide and looked at Zhang Qiling, "You did it and you dare to say it out loud?!"
Ji Huaichuan and Zhang Qiling had an argument. To be more precise, Ji Huaichuan had an argument with Zhang Qiling unilaterally. This made several people admire him very much, as they could even argue. In the end, Ji Huaichuan became more and more angry and turned away. Zhang Qiling wanted to follow him but was rejected, and sat back in his original place silently.
…
Shen Tingsi and Wu Erbai were talking when the signal detector on the table suddenly rang, and then they heard the person at the door report that someone had fired a signal flare.
Shen Tingsi had a smile on his face, but a dangerous glint flashed across his eyes. It's coming out...
When Wu Erbai heard this, he became a little uneasy for a moment. It was Wu Xie!
After being brought back by Wu Erbai's men, the few of them were about to return to Star City after a short rest. Before leaving, Wuxie suddenly discovered that Zhang Qiling was missing. He walked around the camp but couldn't find him. He asked Hei Xiazi and found out that Zhang Qiling had left just now, most likely to chase Ji Huaichuan.
As they were getting ready to set off, Wuxie always felt that something was missing, until he passed by Qiu Dekao's tent and suddenly remembered it. Wuxie swiftly jumped out of the car and ran into the tent and scolded Qiu Dekao for a long time before leaving contentedly. He was not panicked at all now, because his second uncle was still here, and Qiu Dekao didn't dare to do anything to him!
