Tomb Raider【Filling My Heart with Unresolved Feelings】

Chapter 360: The Huo Family Seizes the Throne

The next morning, the sun shone on the camp and everyone woke up one after another. Xie Yuchen had already gotten up and checked the situation around the camp to make sure there was no potential danger. Bai Mumu walked out of the tent and saw Xie Yuchen's back, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

"You got up so early." Bai Mumu walked forward.

Xie Yuchen turned around and saw Bai Mumu, his eyes softened, "Yeah, I'm used to it. How do you feel?"

"Much better. I've recovered a lot of energy." Bai Mumu responded with a smile.

At this time, the others also walked out of the tent one after another. Hei Xiazi stretched and said, "I had a really comfortable sleep, but I'm a little hungry."

Fatty Wang also agreed: "Yeah, my stomach is growling, I didn't eat much last night." After that, he volunteered to cook something simple for everyone. Soon, the aroma of food filled the tent.

After breakfast, Xie Yuchen arranged for people to pack up the camp and return to the city. In the car, everyone looked a little tired but also a little relaxed, as if they had finally temporarily escaped from the dangerous and mysterious Zhang family ancient building. Xie Yuchen sat next to Bai Mumu, paying attention to her condition all the way. Bai Mumu looked at the scenery outside the window that was constantly receding, and her thoughts were a little scattered.

Hei Xia Zi was sitting in the front row, looking at Xie Yuchen who was sitting in the middle of the back row and said dissatisfiedly: "Xiao Hua, you have been keeping your eyes on the young boss all the way. There are other people in our car. Can't you pay more attention?" Xie Yuchen just glanced at him and did not respond.

Wu Xie looked out the window and said thoughtfully, "I wonder what the Huo family will be like after we return to the city. I hope nothing happens to Xiu Xiu."

Fatty Wang chewed some snacks while saying, "We can stop the enemy with our own army and block the flood with our own earth. We have so many people, how can we be afraid of those evil-minded guys from the Huo family?"

The young man remained silent, but there was a sense of alertness in his eyes, as if he was silently sensing possible potential danger.

The vehicle moved forward in a bumpy ride and finally approached the city. Xie Yuchen's cell phone suddenly rang, and his face became serious after he answered the call. After hanging up the phone, he looked at everyone and said, "The Huo family is in chaos. Xiuxiu has been put under house arrest by some relatives, and she is not allowed to participate in the arrangements for Mrs. Huo's funeral. Moreover, they seem to have noticed that we are going back and are discussing how to intercept us."

When everyone heard this, their expressions instantly became solemn. Fatty Wang slapped his thigh and said, "These people are too much. Xiuxiu is the granddaughter of the Huo family. How can they treat a little girl like this?"

Bai Mumu frowned, his eyes full of anger: "They are so eager to fight for power that they don't even care about basic family affection."

Xie Yuchen's face was grim. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Since they dared to attack Xiuxiu, they must have been prepared to deal with us. We can't act blindly. We must first find a safe base, away from the eyes and ears, and then make long-term plans. I have a secret residence nearby, let's stay there first."

Wu Xie nodded in agreement: "Xiao Hua is right, we have to be careful, at least we can't let them find our tracks, otherwise Xiu Xiu might be transferred away, and then it will be troublesome to rescue her."

The car then drove to the place Xie Yuchen mentioned. After arriving, everyone sat together in a solemn atmosphere.

Wu Xie was the first to break the silence: "The relatives of the Huo family have always been eyeing Old Madam Huo's position. Now that the old lady has passed away, they must want to exclude Xiu Xiu, the legitimate heir, in order to divide up the power of the Huo family."

Xie Yuchen spread out a piece of paper and began to draw a rough topographic map of the Huo family. As he drew, he said, "As far as I know, Xiuxiu may be imprisoned in the backyard wing of the Huo family's old house. The defense here must be tight, but we can sneak in from the side garden."

Wu Xie looked at the topographic map and analyzed, "They should have deployed personnel at each entrance and exit. We have to distract their attention so that we can have a chance to approach Xiu Xiu.

Xie Yuchen tapped the table with his fingers: "Let's send someone to investigate near the Huo family first to understand their personnel deployment and defense situation. I will contact some people in the Huo family who are loyal to Xiuxiu to see if we can cooperate with them from inside and outside."

Bai Mumu nodded in agreement: "This method is feasible, but we have to act quickly. The longer Xiuxiu stays in their hands, the more dangerous it will be."

Everyone nodded, discussed the details carefully for a while, and then decided to take a short rest and recharge their batteries before taking action when night fell.

After Xie Yuchen assigned the rooms, Bai Mumu said to him softly, "Xiaohua, you should also take a rest. You have hardly slept since last night."

Xie Yuchen shook his head slightly: "I'm not sleepy yet, you go and rest first, I'll go over the plan again to make sure it's foolproof."

Seeing that he looked determined, Bai Mumu stopped trying to persuade him and turned to go into the room.

Xie Yuchen sat in the living room, looking at the Huo family's topographic map with focused eyes, and constantly deduced various possible situations and countermeasures in his mind.
