Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 120 Snake Swamp Ghost Town 25

Just when everyone was at a loss, Xie Yuchen suddenly called and said that he had also found some information, and he found news about Mount Siguniang through Jin Mantang, an old acquaintance of Huo Xiuxiu's grandmother.

Wu Xie told everyone that the Xie family and the Huo family might also get involved. Fatty was the first to express his dissatisfaction with the Huo family's involvement: "You've heard from our Third Aunt that Huo Ling turned into a forbidden woman early because she went home and found that old lady Huo didn't care about her life or death. She was so frustrated that she turned into a forbidden woman early."

"So I don't trust that old lady Huo at all!"

Jiang Xinxin also said: "Now that we have Chen Wenjin providing information, we can completely bypass the Huo family. Compared with the Huo family, I trust Xie Yuchen more."

What else could Wu Xie do? He had heard about the grudges of his grandfather's generation, so bypassing the Huo family was really the best option. "But Xiu Xiu is with Xiao Hua right now, it would be bad if we just bypassed the Huo family..."

The fat man said directly: "Hua'er Ye is Hua'er Ye, and Huo Xiuxiu is Huo Xiuxiu. Hua'er Ye has been the head of the Xie family for a long time, but as far as I know, Huo Xiuxiu's qualification as the heir has not yet been fully determined."

Hey, Wu Xie was surprised: "Fatty, how do you know that Xiu Xiu's succession qualification has not been determined yet?"

The fat man pushed up the round sunglasses on his nose and raised his eyebrows proudly: "What's there to not know? In the circle of Beijing, the Jie family and the Huo family are at the top. People like me who fight alone should have been at the bottom. But who made me get in touch with you, the third young master of the Wu family? Sometimes this news comes out just like that."

After finishing the discussion, everyone prepared to go out for dinner. Wu Xie had already booked a restaurant, and as everyone dressed neatly and went out, they saw Aning smiling gently.

Wu Xie stepped forward involuntarily: "Aning, you didn't fly here overnight, did you?"

The fat man walked up to her slowly and greeted her, but then he changed the subject and asked, "Aning, why don't you bring your luggage with you? It costs a lot of money to live outside!"

Wu Xie was so embarrassed that his face turned red. He looked left and right but didn't dare to look at An Ning. "It's mainly because living outside is not as convenient as living at home..."

Aning burst out laughing, but she was very satisfied with Wu Xie's tactfulness.

Aning was temporarily added to the meal, and everyone was still enjoying the meal. Especially when the West Lake Vinegar Fish that Fatty specifically ordered came up, Wu Xie even gave Aning a look, asking her not to touch it.

Aning and Wu Xie really had some tacit understanding, so she pretended to be a little late when she went to pick up the food, and heard Fatty make a "yue" sound just as he took a bite of fish.

After distributing the squirrel mandarin fish to everyone, Wu Xie smiled and explained to Fatty, "Don't be fooled by the fact that Hangzhou has always been prosperous and the food should be exquisite. But in fact, Hangzhou is really a food desert. There are really no specialties to show for food."

The fat man didn't believe it at first, but now that the facts were in front of him, he had to believe it, "I don't know where this West Lake vinegar fish came from. I only tasted the sour taste of vinegar. This fish really doesn't have any fishy smell at all!"

Outside was not a place to talk, especially since what they wanted to say was quite important, so everyone finished their meal quickly and went straight back to Wushanju.

Aning asked Jiang Xinxin directly: "Ms. Jiang, have you already planned to go to Banai?"

Jiang Xinxin felt that there was nothing to hide from An Ning, so she said directly: "Yes, it has been planned. We will split into two groups. One group is Zhang Qiling and I. We will go to the Zhang Family Ancient Building in Banai. Fatty and Wu Xie are the other group. They will go to Siguniang Mountain."

After hearing this, Aning said directly to Wu Xie: "Then I will go to Banai with Miss Jiang and Brother. I don't have to go down, I can just stay outside to support everyone, right?"

Now, everything Wu Xie wanted to say was blocked by Aning.

The fat man said to Aning, "Aning, you haven't told me how you got out of Qiu Dekao's hands."

Aning shrugged: "I can still get out. I just need to pack up the things my boss promised me."

"I've said it before, my boss is really nice to me. Although he adopted me for ulterior motives, I've really treated him like my father over the years."

"Moreover, I have almost never failed to complete my tasks over the years, and he has never reneged on or failed to deliver on his promises, so both of us have given each other the greatest respect."

Fatty confronted Wu Xie and said meaningfully, "Tian Zhen, you better make money carefully, or you will really become Aning's gigolo."

After hearing this, Wu Xie really felt a sense of crisis, especially when a tall young man came to deliver An Ning's luggage in the evening. Wu Xie saw that he and An Ning were closer than others, and he immediately felt jealous.

Aning deliberately didn't introduce herself to Wu Xie. At night, when everyone was almost asleep, Wu Xie quietly packed up his bank cards, passbooks and other things. No one knew what he said to Aning, but when everyone got up the next day, they found that the atmosphere between him and Aning had changed.

According to Chen Wenjin, part of the Zhang family's ancient building is underwater, so their archaeological team was stationed by a lake at the time. She and Huo Ling escaped the fate of being assassinated and replaced because they went into the water to check it out in advance.

But in fact, Chen Wenjin judged that the real entrance should be on land. Due to the constraints of ancient technology, the Zhang family has lived in the deep mountains of the northeast for generations, so there should not be many people who can swim. Therefore, even if it is just for convenience, the entrance will be set on the ground instead of under water.

Aning suggested: "We can send some people to the lake to make a show of it. It's impossible for the other party to not notice such a large-scale operation. Besides, I want to use the lake that Chen Wenjin and his team went to that year to teach the other party a lesson!"

On the other side, Xie Yuchen also received Wu Xie's message, but he disagreed to bypass the Huo family because old lady Huo had already noticed their intention to go to the Zhang family's ancient building, and directly took out the map she had drawn and asked to participate.

Xie Yuchen originally disagreed, and even said that Wu Xie would not agree either, but Mrs. Huo played the emotional card. Xie Yuchen had to reluctantly agree to let the Huo family lead the team to Banai for Huo Xiuxiu's sake, and by the way provided Wu Xie with a lot of information about Siguniang Mountain.
