Chapter 11: Following the Tomb Raiders 2
Section 1
Damn it! I'm so fed up, how can I drive? Li Wei only took away the things in the car. The Bluetooth reminder told him that the suit and white underpants leather shoes are his equipment, sportswear and gray underpants sports shoes are ordinary clothes, watch phone temporarily cannot be used too dazzling.
Wang Tianlei leaned against the wall, his eyes vacant. His emotions were complex at this moment, he hadn't expected to come out so early, and now he wondered if going back would cause her trouble... Li Wei returned but didn't see him, Li Wei pushed him once, and the two of them went into a corner to change clothes. Li Wei said:
"The car is really beyond me, I have just this suitcase of clothes and a few hundred yuan, where can we go to make a living, it's not suitable for us to stay here for long."
"Find a place to spend the night today and head to Peng City tomorrow."
The two of them found the cheapest inn and cooked the cheapest instant noodles. In the dead of night, both of them couldn't sleep, thinking about their unbearable past and uncertain future. Wang Tianlei missed his wife at home, wondering if she had received news of his death. Li Wei missed his parents at home, it had been so long since he last called them, were they worried? The longing for home and the guilt towards family members made both men very sad, sighing and groaning their way through the night.
The next day, in the baozi shop, Li Wei and Wang Tianlei ate 5 catties of buns. After eating their fill, the two people started discussing their future plans. Li Wei spoke first:
"Lei Ge, what's our next move? You can't go to Peng City alone, we're brothers, let's not part ways! Mainly because I really have nowhere else to go. My old friends all practiced the Jiu Ding Great Law and basically all got sent away. There aren't any relatives at home that I can turn to either. What about you?"
"My home is not far away, but if we go back like this, the neighbors will definitely make a fuss. Let's go to Peng City first, I have some things there, and after getting them out, it should be enough for us to spend some time together."
"Don't worry about this, we can get some money to dress up and get two fake IDs so ordinary people won't recognize us. Brother Lei is really capable, I can just pretend to be a small swindler and cheat the old men and women. How unrighteous! From now on, I'll hang out with Brother Lei."
"Brother who has gone through life and death with me, what else can I say? As long as I have porridge to drink, you will never go hungry."
"Alright, I won't bother you anymore, brother."
Section 2
In the outskirts of Peng City, outside a cave on a small mountain, Li Wei was blowing wind, and Wang Tianlei went in for a while without bringing any tools. Li Wei looked inside and saw that there was a faint light. Wang Tianlei came out after more than ten minutes, holding a black plastic bag, brushing off the dirt on it. The two of them calmly walked down the mountain. Wang Tianlei said to Li Wei:
"Brother, I won't hide it from you either. I used to make a living by robbing tombs and selling dead people's belongings. This is one of my old haunts, where I once narrowly escaped being caught and hid here. The stuff here is worth over 3 million, at the very least we can sell it for 2 million. They're all small items that aren't too old, I'll tell you about each one in a minute. We'll stay here for a month, then take them to the antique shops one by one and slowly sell them off. That way, we shouldn't arouse anyone's suspicion."
"Brother, to be honest, we've known each other for so long, you're talking so much for the first time, I don't even understand what's going on. Alright, I'll listen to you, Brother Lei seems to have a good life following you around, haha!"
Wang Tianlei felt that it was meaningless, but his sworn brothers were still reliable. That night in the inn, Wang Tianlei instructed Li Wei one by one, and Li Wei repeated sentence by sentence. Dr. Bluetooth recorded everything one by one, and indeed there were no valuable cultural relics, definitely not from an ancient tomb of the Warring States period. They decided to bide their time and wait for more valuable relics to appear.
After a month of preparation, Li Wei had almost everything ready. He took advantage of his alone time to equip himself with a complete set of work attire, including a weapon system, anesthetic sleeve gun, micro-TNT, a pen-style tracking bullet, special agent sunglasses, and an internal detoxification system and oxygen supply system. With everything in place, Li Wei was eager to complete his second mission and take a well-deserved break. Feeling refreshed and revitalized, he arrived at a nearby open area and threw a set of punches with the help of his work attire system. The punches were so powerful that they seemed to be assisted by divine power, with each punch generating a strong gust of wind. Wang Tianlei, who had just returned from an outing, watched Li Wei's punching in awe, repeatedly praising him. The crowd grew larger, and as Li Wei finished his set and stood up straight, breathing deeply, the onlookers erupted into applause. Li Wei bowed to thank everyone, then turned around and left with Wang Tianlei. Wang Tianlei sighed and said:
"Unexpectedly, your martial arts skills are so formidable, Brother, even the bodyguards in Zhongnanhai are only at your level."
"Le Ge is really not easy to praise! I remember when we were young, brothers also served in the army."
"A suit and tie can be so fierce, impressive!"
"It's useless and can't make money. Le Ge is still the best, he makes money as soon as he puts his hands on it. Does Le Ge really have something like a rice dumpling zombie?"
"I've never seen it before, and based on my experience with Master, I think it doesn't exist."
"Ghost Blows The Lamp is what's going on, I think it should be measuring oxygen content."
"It's almost the same, our predecessors didn't understand science, many things were thought to be superstitious, but they are all experiences, some of which are worth learning from. Small tombs are easy to handle, mainly because large tombs have complex mechanisms and sometimes there is toxic gas, requiring caution."
"Has Le Ge ever been to a big tomb?"
"Let's just forget it, past events are too painful to recall."
Li Wei thought, where's my brother? You didn't mention this, but I actually know you've stolen from the ancient tombs of the Warring States period, haha.
"Things are almost sold out. Where is your hometown? We should get going, right? Let me know in advance so I can pack for you."
"Wait until I get a gun."
"Why must killing be done with a gun? I'll take care of him. We don't have a car, wherever we go is either by train or by bus, having that thing is too much trouble."
"I'm just seeking a sense of security. You reminded me, it seems we need to rent a car."
"Alright, I've said it, everything is up to you."
Wang Tianlei nodded.
Actually, Li Wei doesn't have to worry, even if Wang Tianlei has a gun, he can't kill anyone. The tomb raid was just a coincidence, he's always been a gentle old man who couldn't bear to be cruel. He's like a lamb leading a pack of lions. He was betrayed and didn't confess, taking all the blame on himself. If it wasn't for Li Wei, he would have had to rot in prison until his teeth fell out. What he can't imagine is that there are even more painful things waiting for him to experience.
Section 3
On the highway, a silver BMW sped by, and Silver Fox was inside thinking that this time he was dressed as a man. He had come to track down Li Wei again to verify his DNA and confirm his identity. Having missed him once before, he was determined to investigate thoroughly this time and find the Ghost Spectrum as soon as possible, at least to know whether he was dead or alive. The bottleneck of his disguise technique had already restricted him, and he urgently needed to reach a higher level. Constantly changing faces made him suffer endlessly. The secrets on Ghost Spectrum's body were also not to be underestimated, and based on his intuition, it was definitely not as simple as the third layer of disguise technique. Silver Fox knocked on the steering wheel and thought, Master, where are you? Why do you have to keep things from me? Do you want a set of ultimate skills to be lost with your death?
In the rural border of Youzhou, Gui Pu was still in a coma, and what made people unbelievable was that under such conditions, without professional medical care, he was still stubbornly alive, as if asleep. Suddenly, he let out two sneezes, and pointed with his finger. The old man who had been attending to him hurried into the room and called out to him twice. Afterwards, he didn't react. The old man's eyes were filled with tears, and he scolded:
You're having a good time playing around, but you're lying comfortably in bed. What about your father and me?
Section 4
After Li Wei's makeover, Wang Tianlei indeed looked much younger, with fair skin and a small white face. He was dressed in the latest fashion trends, revealing his stylish personality at all times. Gone was his former image of having a black charcoal head; his hair was now slightly red, with a perm and earrings, and he even had a scorpion tattoo on his neck. Adding to this were his frog-shaped sunglasses, making him almost unrecognizable as the same person. Wang Tianlei couldn't help but smile wryly at his reflection in the mirror. Li Wei teased:
"Lei Ge is so handsome, he must have a high rate of turning heads, looks ten years younger, no pressure to pick up girls."
"It doesn't matter, but indeed no one can recognize me now. Let's go today."
"Where are you going?"
Binjiang. The person who betrayed me would never have thought that I'm still alive, he used to be my best friend, in the past I absolutely wouldn't have doubted him, but only he knew about that batch of goods, the people in prison are his men. He originally knew where I hid the goods, and before the transaction, I changed the location again but didn't have time to tell him before getting caught.
"So you want to resort to guns. Being betrayed is already terrible, but if it's by your best friend, that's unforgivable. Blood debts must be repaid with blood!"
Li Wei thought to himself, does this count as betrayal? Will that dark gun barrel one day be pointed at me?
