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

Chapter 236 Silk Book, Qinling Mountains

When Wang Meng heard the call was connected, he quickly told Wu Erbai the current situation.

When Wu Erbai heard that Cheng Ji was looking for Wu Xie, he fell into a brief silence. After all, to him, Cheng Ji was the elder of the Nine Gates. But out of selfishness, he still didn't want his nephew to really follow the Nine Gates' plan and go down this path.

He didn't agree with this so-called plan at the beginning, but the leaders of this plan were his father and Master Jie Jiu of the Jie family, and now the executor of this plan is his third brother Wu Sansheng, so he really has no control over it.

After hesitating, Wu Erbai said, "Give the phone to Master Cheng."

Cheng Ji took the phone and canceled the speakerphone mode.

Even Wang Meng, who had been beside Cheng Ji the whole time, didn't hear what the two talked about, but he was a qualified subordinate, so he didn't ask about anything that his master didn't want him to know.

When Cheng Ji handed the phone to Wang Meng again, Wu Erbai had already changed his original tone: "Just follow Master Cheng's wishes."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Cheng Ji did not stay for long. He stood up and took out a map-like silk book from his pocket and handed it to Wang Meng: "Give this to your boss when you see him. Don't say I gave it to you. Just say it appeared on your table when the store opened today."

After saying that, Cheng Ji didn't explain the reason. He just stood up and walked out. In an instant, he blended into the crowd in front of the door and disappeared from Wang Meng's sight.

It was not until the evening that Wu Xie rushed back to the store from outside. Just as he was about to go upstairs, Wang Meng, who had been waiting for Wu Xie in the store, called him: "Boss."

Wu Xie responded and walked over: "What's wrong?"

As if he had thought of something, Wang Meng spoke first: "I'll give you your salary next month."

"..." Wang Meng was choked by Wu Xie's interruption, then nodded with professional ethics and finished what he wanted to say at the beginning: "Boss, I saw this on the table when I opened the store today. Did you put it there? It's really a rare authentic work. Can you find items of this level now?"

Wu Xie was confused by Wang Meng. Although the mocking intention in his plan was a bit obvious, the suddenly appearing map did attract his attention.

Wu Xie looked at the marks on it, frowned and examined it carefully for a long time, then said seriously: "This suddenly appeared in the store? Is there anything else?"

Wang Meng shook his head.

The clues were cut off for a while, and Wu Xie had no other choice but to wave at Wang Meng irritably, indicating that he could go off work.

He ran upstairs carrying this sudden silk book.

After Wu Xie went up, he immediately took out the map and notes he had drawn after returning from Qinling Mountains last time.

The recording method on this silk book is almost exactly the same as the rubbing he received at the beginning, so it is not difficult to interpret. The problem is that the place recorded on this silk book, which seems to be from the same period as the rubbing, is actually the Qinling Mountains where he had just visited not long ago!

But there seems to be some difference. The strange thing about Qinling Mountains is the bronze sacred tree, but this map seems to be in a deeper place. He has been to this place, but did not go deeper.

After all, he was being chased by Zhu Jiuyin at that time, so he had no time to check the situation in other places underground.

Wu Xie carefully put the silk book into the inner pocket of the coat he was wearing today, sat on the bed for a long time, and then decided to call Fatty.

The phone rang twice before someone picked it up: "Hello? Tian Zhen, what's wrong? Do you want to talk to Fatty?"

Wu Xie clenched the phone in his hand and tried to keep his voice calm: "I have a job, do you want to take it?"
