Tomb Raider: The Fox's Ways to Seducing the Kirin

Early 1960s.

More than ten years have passed since they returned from Gutongjing. In recent years, Cheng Ji and Zhang Qiling have basically returned to ordinary life, living in the daily necessities of life.

Except for Hei Xia Zi occasionally asking them to go to some more strange tombs, there is almost no trace of these people.

Except for a few people who are familiar with Cheng Ji, no one knows their whereabouts.

It doesn’t matter what others think, it just stumped Zhang Qishan.

Project 056 did go smoothly at the beginning as planned by Cheng Ji, and even made Zhang Qishan, who had taken the corpse-eating pill, feel that he was close to the truth and saw hope. However, the final failure dealt him a heavy blow.

Failure came so quickly that he barely had time to adjust, reflect and reorganize himself. All the experimental personnel in Gutongjing were wiped out. He had no choice but to retreat to Changsha with a few survivors.

After returning to Changsha, Zhang Dafoye learned from his failure. When he regrouped and wanted to start again, he discovered a problem that he had ignored for a long time.

Cheng Ji, Zhang Qiling, and everyone in the Cheng family disappeared completely in Changsha, and not even a trace could be found.

Even if he could wait, the person behind him could not. The successive orders forced Zhang Qishan to refocus his attention on the Zhang family. The ten-year Zhang Qiling plan also unfolded as planned, just as Cheng Ji had imagined.

Of course, these ten years were not ordinary for the Nine Gates. Although Jude Kao wanted to take the cultural relics with him when he escaped from China, he failed due to the intervention of a mysterious force. In a fit of rage, Jude Kao reported everyone in the Nine Gates to his superiors.

Except for the few companies that Cheng Ji had already taken care of, several other companies were hit in the purge one after another. This also allowed Zhang Qishan to take advantage of it by accident, and the originally unequal status was instantly reversed.

It was not too difficult for Zhang Qishan to gather people for the Siguniang Mountain Project in the early 1960s, and everyone was happy.

Different from the original situation, Zhang Qiling in this life did not show up as scheduled at the Siguniang Mountain plan. After all, with Zhang Qiling's generous help at the beginning, there was no shortage of manpower to guard the bronze gate like in that life.

Cheng Ji even arranged shifts for the six members of the Zhang family who were recruited. Probably because there had been no demand for this in the past hundred years, the small group of soldiers and generals from the Nine Gates were naturally not within their consideration.

Because that person's orders became more urgent each time, and because Zhang Qishan's body had already shown signs of becoming a corpse due to taking the corpse-eating pill, the Siguniang Mountain Operation in 1963 proceeded as scheduled.

At the foot of the cliff of Siguniang Mountain, which was originally sparsely populated, Er Yuehong stood in front of the military tent and looked up at Zhang Qishan's men busying around on Siguniang Mountain.

He originally didn't want to come, but not long after Zhang Qishan called for action, he received a letter from Cheng Ji, telling him that he had to come for this operation.

He couldn't figure out what Cheng Ji was trying to say, so he had no choice but to agree to this action.

When Er Yuehong arrived at the place some time ago, he saw some familiar faces as soon as he got off the car. Huo Xiangu, Wu Laogou, Jie Jiuye and even Chen Pi, who had always been at odds with Zhang Qishan, were all so active this time.

Er Yuehong sighed softly and turned back to the tent.

It seems that this Nine Gates Operation will not be peaceful.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the tent, Er Yuehong was startled by the sudden appearance of this person.

"You are becoming more and more mysterious. There was no noise when you came in." Er Yuehong reacted quickly and greeted the visitor with a smile.

Although more than ten years have passed, time has not left any traces on the boy's face.

The young man smiled and plucked a few grapes from the fruit plate on the table. He greeted Er Yuehong in a familiar manner, "Second Master, what you said is true. You were so distracted at the door that you didn't even see me coming over to say hello to you, and you actually blamed me."

Er Yuehong didn't argue with Cheng Ji anymore. He pulled a chair over and sat next to the boy. He asked about the matter, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Cheng Ji calmed down a bit and said with a smile: "Hasn't Second Master always wanted to find the Wang family hiding in the Hong family, but couldn't find them?"

Er Yuehong didn't expect it was for this. She was stunned for a moment and nodded.

Cheng Ji continued, "That's perfect, I'll invite you to come and watch the show and clean up the mess at the same time."

"What do you mean?" Er Yuehong became interested after hearing this and couldn't help asking out of curiosity.

Cheng Ji pretended to be mysterious: "Second Master, just wait and see tomorrow."

"You're making fun of me again, deliberately keeping me in suspense. You're just going to start something and then stop talking. Fine, I'll wait." Er Yuehong didn't ask any more questions, and changed the subject, "Where's that guy? Why didn't he come with you? Zhang Qishan was almost going crazy looking for you two a few years ago."

When this was mentioned, Cheng Ji showed a strange expression on his face, which aroused Er Yuehong's curiosity again: "What's that expression? Did they have a fight?"

Cheng Ji shook his head slightly, his expression becoming even more indescribable.

Er Yuehong couldn't help but think of the funny things Hei Xiazi told him when he came to deliver the news. He smiled and moved closer to the boy, lowering his voice as well: "Oh, then I understand. Aji's small body..."

"Second Master!" Cheng Ji's face turned red at Er Yuehong's teasing and he quickly interrupted her.

Er Yuehong realized that she had guessed the boy's thoughts, and laughed even louder: "Okay, okay, I won't mention it anymore."

Cheng Ji was really impressed by the eagerness of these people. He came here today and found three people in total. Except for Master Jie Jiu, who he was not very familiar with, Er Yuehong and Chen Pi were really alike in this respect. They were worthy of being master and apprentice for several years. If they were not from the same family, they could not enter this family.

Cheng Ji was afraid that Er Yuehong would say something shocking that he couldn't handle, so he chatted with her for a few minutes and then made an excuse to leave.

Of course, he didn't come here today just to reminisce about the past.

Cheng Ji walked out of Er Yuehong's tent, pulled down the brim of the hoodie he wore today to cover his face, and hurried towards the most heavily guarded tent in the deepest part of the jungle.

However, the three layers of defense outside the three layers did not stop the young man, but allowed Cheng Ji to pass through and enter the innermost room.

Cheng Ji opened the curtain of the tent without hesitation and walked in.

Although the old man standing inside was already in his twilight years with gray hair, the aura of a superior still remained the same as when Cheng Ji first met him.

The old man seemed to have known the identity of the visitor for a long time. He didn't even turn his head. He sighed and said, "You are here."
