Tomb Raider【Filling My Heart with Unresolved Feelings】

Bai Mumu looked at Huo Xiuxiu's departing back and frowned slightly. She turned to look at everyone and said, "It seems that this old lady Huo will not give up until she achieves her goal. Sister Xiuxiu is caught in the middle and it is also very difficult. We must come up with a proper solution as soon as possible."

Wu Xie nodded and said, "Yes, we can't keep dragging it out like this. Mrs. Huo will definitely make other moves."

Xie Yuchen pondered for a moment and said, "We should continue to prepare for the fake cooperation as planned, but we should also pay close attention to Mrs. Huo's movements. If there is anything unusual, we must adjust our strategy in time."

Bai Mumu said worriedly, "I'm afraid that we are in the open and Old Madam Huo is in the dark. If she suddenly uses a ruthless move, we might be caught off guard."

Hei Xia Zi shrugged and said, "What are you afraid of? We will fight back if an enemy comes and block the water with earth. We are not pushovers either."

The young man remained silent, but his eyes became more determined, as if telling everyone that no matter what danger they encountered, he would protect everyone.

In order to avoid putting Huo Xiuxiu in an awkward position, Wu Xie and the others decided to relax a little when Huo Xiuxiu came to ask for the second time.

Wu Xie looked at Huo Xiuxiu and softened his tone. "Xiuxiu, it's not that we don't want to cooperate at all, it's just that the risks are too great. Go back and tell Mrs. Huo that we can consider cooperation, but we need some time to make more thorough preparations and clarify some details and safeguards of the cooperation."

Huo Xiuxiu's eyes lit up, "Brother Wu Xie, are you really willing to consider cooperating? Great, I'll go back and tell grandma." After saying that, she hurried away.

Everyone looked at Huo Xiuxiu's back, but their hearts were still filled with worry.

Xie Yuchen frowned slightly, "If we do this, aren't we afraid that Old Lady Huo will think we are easy to control? In fact, we should delay it a little longer."

Bai Mumu shook her head. "We just want to give Sister Xiuxiu an explanation, and we can't keep embarrassing her like this. But we still have to stay vigilant and not let Mrs. Huo lead us by the nose."

Hei Xiazi chuckled, "That's right, we have to take the initiative in the cooperation and not let that old lady succeed."

Following Huo Xiuxiu's message, Old Mrs. Huo also began to take action.

She came to the courtyard again to discuss the details of the cooperation with Wu Xie and others. During this process, Wu Xie and others also carefully dealt with Mrs. Huo, trying to find a relatively safe path in this dangerous cooperation...

To show her sincerity, Huo Xiangu took out all the information and patterns she had collected about the Zhang Family Ancient Building. Wu Xie and the others looked at these precious materials with surprise and vigilance.

Everyone began to carefully study the information provided by Huo Xiangu. They found that there was indeed some key information about the Zhang Family Ancient Building, but there were also many unclear points.

In the process of discussing the details of the cooperation with the people sent by Huo Xiangu, Wu Xie and others cleverly put forward their own requirements and conditions. They asked Huo Xiangu to provide more resources and guarantees, and also made it clear that if they found that Mrs. Huo had any bad intentions, they would terminate the cooperation at any time.

Although Huo Xiangu was somewhat dissatisfied, she could only temporarily agree to their request in order to achieve cooperation. However, both parties knew that this cooperation was full of variables, and no one knew where it would end up.

Finally, everyone decided to split into two groups. One group was led by Wu Xie, Xie Yuchen and Hei Xiazi to Siguniang Mountain, while the other group was led by Brother, Fatty, Bai Mumu, Huo Xiangu and others to the Zhang Family Ancient Building in Banai.

According to Huo Xiangu, the two parties need to cooperate closely, and after Wu Xie and the others obtain the password, they can rush to reunite with everyone.

However, just as everyone was discussing the supplies and logistics needed for the operation, Jude Kao arrived unexpectedly.

His purpose was obvious, which was to join this operation. Everyone knew the reason, he didn't have much time left, and the Zhang family's ancient building was his last hope.

In order to get everyone to agree to his joining, Qiu Dekao spent a lot of money. Not only did he cover all the expenses of this operation, he was also willing to donate most of his property to the two families, just hoping that they could take him into the Zhang family ancient building.

Everyone looked at each other and fell into deep thought about Jude Kao's proposal.

Wu Xie frowned and said, "Although your proposal sounds tempting, we can't agree to it easily. The danger level of the Zhang Family Ancient Tower is far beyond imagination. We can't rashly take you in just because of your money. Moreover, your identity is sensitive. If something happens to you in China..."

Wu Xie hadn't finished speaking, but everyone understood his concerns.

Jude Kao said anxiously: "I understand your concerns, and I am also well aware that this operation is very dangerous, but I have no choice. I have made arrangements and am willing to take all risks. Even if I unfortunately lose my life in it, I will not implicate you. All you have to do is let me join."

Having said that, and considering that he promised that no one would be held responsible even if someone unfortunately died in there, it seemed okay to bring him along with them. Maybe they could even let the people he brought go and test the mines for them.

After everyone was silent for a moment, Xie Yuchen nodded slightly and said, "Qiu Dekao, we see your sincerity, but you must ensure that you completely obey our command during the operation and not take any unauthorized actions."

Jude Kao nodded quickly and said, "Of course, of course. I promise to follow your instructions during the operation. Just take me in."

Afterwards, Jude Kao took his men away and went back to arrange follow-up matters.

Bai Mumu frowned and said, "Even so, we can't let our guard down. After entering the Zhang Family Ancient Building, everyone must remain vigilant at all times to prevent him from having other intentions."

Hei Xia Zi shrugged and said, "Well, since everyone thinks it's worth a try, let's take him along. But if this old fox dares to play tricks, don't blame me for being rude."

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

Wu Xie sighed and said, "Okay, since everyone agrees, let Qiu Dekao join us for now. However, we need to formulate a more detailed plan as soon as possible to ensure the safety of this operation."

Afterwards, everyone continued to discuss the details of the operation. Based on the new situation, they readjusted the material preparation and logistical arrangements, and also studied the information provided by Huo Xiangu in more depth.

As the departure date approaches, everyone is getting more nervous. They don't know what kind of challenges are waiting for them, but they all firmly believe that as long as everyone works together, they will be able to overcome the difficulties.
