Tomb raiding: Trying to become a little painter

Chapter 70 Information about Chu Guangtou

"You fatso, take a look at what Xiao Ge and He Nian look like! And what do we look like? Although I'm a tiny bit more handsome than you, that doesn't mean we can't be as naturally handsome as them, and that's not a reason for us to be shameless!"

Wu Xie muttered complaints about Fatty Wang, very unhappy with himself wearing green clothes, but he was already "forced" to wear them, so there was nothing he could do. After all, as Fatty Wang said, all the brothers were wearing "brotherly outfits," and it wouldn't be appropriate for him not to wear them either!

As they chatted, the group walked into the teahouse. Fatty Wang, with his smooth speech, quickly explained that he had come to find someone. The teahouse waiter nodded, made a phone call, and led them to a private room on the second floor.

Qin Henian followed the three at the back. He knew they were going to a grave. Xiao Tiandao had told him earlier that the meteorite jade he was looking for wouldn't be in the grave, but he was quite curious about the many hairy snakes inside. He wanted to know and taste the difference between hairy and hairless snakes; maybe they tasted better than the snakes from the Queen Mother of the West's realm!

After going up the stairs and turning down a corridor, we arrived at several large doors. The servants guarding the doors, noticing someone approaching, raised their hands and knocked on the doors with a different rhythm.

Click!

"Come in directly!"

After the door clicked, it opened from the inside, and a mature male voice with a slight accent drifted out.

As soon as everyone entered the room, they saw that the furnishings were just those of an ordinary reception room. In the center of the room was a reception table, and sitting at the table was a middle-aged man dressed in flashy clothes with a shiny bald head.

The man had an ordinary appearance. He was the one Wu Xie and his group had come to find, Chu Guangtou. Chu Guangtou's eyes swept over the group of people who came in without any attempt to hide them. After seeing Wu Xie's face, he invited them to sit down.

"Young Master, what brings you here to see me this time?"

Chu Guangtou asked with a smile, clearly in a practiced manner. He spoke to Wu Xie neither humbly nor arrogantly, but gently.

"You must be Chu Guangtou, my third uncle's former partner?"

Wu tilted his head and asked.

"Of course, otherwise why would we be looking for him?"

Qin Henian was speechless; Wu Xie's opening remarks were really awkward.

Wu Xie felt a pang of hurt at He Nian's words, but upon reflection, they were indeed true...

"You must be my Third Master's nephew, Little Third Master. You probably know that I went to jail a while ago. Let's not keep you in suspense. Just tell me what you need me for. Let's be open with each other."

Chu Guangtou ignored the conversation between the two people opposite him and went straight to the point.

"it is good!"

"Since you've put it that way, let's get straight to the point. The main reason we're here is... to ask you about this guy next to me, the one in the blue shirt. Have you seen him before? Do you know where my third uncle found him?"

Wu Xie looked at Chu Guangtou sitting opposite him with bright, clear eyes, eagerly anticipating what he would say.

"Blue shirt? Young man?"

Chu Guangtou muttered something under his breath and looked up at Zhang Qilin standing to the side. The moment he saw Zhang Qilin's handsome and fair face, he seemed to think of something and pondered for a while.

"You look familiar, like I've seen you somewhere before. Let me think..."

Chu Guangtou touched his round head and began to recall.

Watching this scene, Qin Henian found it somewhat amusing. This person's acting skills had clearly fooled the simple and kind-hearted Wu Xie. As for Fatty Wang sitting next to him, he probably hadn't been fooled. But Qin Henian didn't know why Fatty Wang hadn't spoken up to expose him.

"Let me think... Wait, it seems like I've seen him somewhere before. I heard people mention this young man when I was working for Third Master."

"It seems to be... oh right... it seems to be Fourth Grandpa! Yes, it's Fourth Grandpa. I heard this guy's story from an old friend of mine. He said..."

Chu Guangtou rubbed his bald head and was about to say something when a calm voice interrupted him.

"You'd better tell the truth, I don't want to come back a second time!"

Qin Henian immediately exposed the other person's performance, not wanting to hear the rest of his fabricated story. In short, this person must have been manipulated by someone.

"What do you mean! Young Master, aren't you going to do anything about the people you brought?"

Chu Guangtou was a little unhappy that someone had interrupted him, but when his gaze fell on the person speaking, he was first stunned by a beautiful face. Then he met the other person's deep eyes, which held a chilling aura that made him turn his head and look at Wu Xie. He then continued to speak.

"Control? How can I control what other people say? It's not like their mouths are on my lips."

"Besides, he's not one of my men, so I can't control him."

Wu Xie hadn't expected the sudden interruption, but upon reflection, he realized that Qin Henian had asked the other party to tell the truth, so the words of Chu Guangtou across the table needed to be considered. Wu Xie quickly responded and chimed in with Qin Henian's reply.

"this!"

Chu Guangtou was a little angry and was about to lash out when he felt himself being stared at by a pair of cold eyes. Following the gaze, he saw Zhang Qilin, who was dressed in blue and had a rather unpleasant aura. He immediately lost his temper, but he still wanted to struggle a little more.

"But I haven't seen Third Master in a long time, and there's no news about him in the underworld. I don't know much about this young man either... I..."

Chu Guangtou had no choice but to speak up and state his position directly.

Snapped!

Just as Chu Guangtou finished speaking, a huge punch landed on his face... and it hurt...

He looked at the instigator with a somewhat aggrieved expression. Who did he offend? He just wanted to make some money, so why the personal attacks?

"to be frank!"

Qin Henian didn't want to see people who were all talk and no action. As soon as he entered the room, he could tell at a glance that this person was just like Wu Sanxing, someone who could fool people. So he sat down and thought for a long time before coming up with a solution: to interrogate people directly, just like his former subordinates used to.

As long as the goal of retrieving information is achieved, that's fine.

Chu Guangtou himself was stunned by the slap, not to mention Wu Xiewang, Fatty, and Zhang Qilin, whose minds were already a bit dazed by the resounding slap.

"To be honest... that's the truth..."

Snapped!

Another slap landed, symmetrically on both sides. A little voice inside Chu Guangtou was crying. Why did he have to be slapped for just answering a question? Let whoever wants to do this deceiving job do it. He certainly didn't want to do it anymore!

Thinking this way, Chu Guangtou did just that. Having learned his lesson, Chu Guangtou obediently took a folder from the cabinet under the reception table and placed it on the table.
