Chapter 161 Their respective motives

"What are you doing? I'm tired."

Fatty Wang, who was lying on the bed, really didn't want to move. Wu Xie's face showed anxiety: "Come here, knock it."

The fat man lazily walked to the wall and knocked on it. He didn't know what it was until he knocked it, and he was startled.

"It's empty, there's a way."

Wu Xie's expression remained unchanged. He looked at the wall with a sickly look and spoke with deep meaning. He placed the iron awl in front of Fatty and said, "We are going to dig up this wall now."

Fatty Wang was immediately excited after finding his hobby again: "Destruction is my specialty, you two take a break, let me do it!"

The awl had just poked twice when a familiar voice suddenly came from behind.

"Fat brother."

Fatty Wang turned around, his eyes revealing a myriad of emotions. Wu Suowei greeted her, and Wu Xie instinctively called her sister-in-law.

Hearing this address, the fat man quickly covered his mouth: "What do you mean sister-in-law? What?"

As he spoke, he put the iron spike in Wu Xie's pocket. The two of them packed their weapons while talking.

To be on the safe side, Fatty Wang also put the spare mobile phone into Wu Xie's pocket. After the two of them sorted it out stealthily, Fatty turned Wu Xie around like twisting a carrot.

"Don't you want to say hello?" Wu Xie had a smile on his face after hiding his things.

"Of course I'll say hello."

The two men ignored Wu Suowei and walked over. Fatty's bad habit of getting tongue-tied when he saw Piaopiao did not change at all. He solemnly introduced Piaopiao to Wu Xie.

Then he pointed at Wu Xie: "Piaopiao, this is my sister-in-law."

Wu Xie held onto the door with both hands: "What? I'm naive."

"Ah, yes, yes, it's naivety, that's naivety." Fatty Wang patted his forehead and laughed awkwardly a few times.

Wu Xie looked at Fatty Wang with a smile on his face: "Sister-in-law, Fatty is always talking about this in front of me. How about you two chat first?"

His eyes were full of meaning: "Just now when Fatty was lying on the bed, the bed collapsed. We have to repair it. It may make a lot of noise, so I won't disturb you."

Wu Xie pushed the fat man out and closed the door.

The message from Fatty told everyone that Piaopiao had begun to suspect that he was the boss behind the scenes. Wu Xie thought about it for a moment.

Then he looked at Wu Suowei who was just resting on the bed. He took out a big hammer from his bag and covered his chest with his hand holding the hammer: "Cough, cough, cough, I can't stop coughing, cough, cough!!!"

Being lazy again, Wu Suowei sat up from the bed and said, "The big hammer is eighty, the small hammer is forty, forty or eighty?"

"eighty!"

Wu Xie handed the tools to Wu Suowei with a smile on his face.

Wu Suowei took the tools and kept shouting "80" while drilling holes in the wall.

After a while, Fatty whispered again, asking Wu Xie to send a message to Piaopiao. Wu Xie was questioned by Piaopiao right after he sent the message. In order to protect the secret, Wu Xie warned her not to break the rules again.

Fatty Wang repeatedly advised her not to work for Xue Wu. She knew that Xue Wu and Fatty Wang had a grudge against each other, but for the sake of her daughter, she chose to stay here.

Watching her leaving, Fatty Wang walked into the room helplessly.

While Wu Suowei was continuously digging the hole, Fatty Wang entered the room again and as soon as he came in he recounted what had happened with a complaining tone.

Wu Xie persuaded him to tell Wu Xie his identity, but Fatty refused without even thinking about it as he was in the tomb-robbing world and his appearance was glamorous but his inner world was evil.

He looked at the wall that Wu Suowei had gradually cleaned half of, and was immediately surprised.

It was just as Wu Xie said, the person embedded inside had been burned to charcoal, and the corpse was stuck inside as if it was passing through a wall.

On the other side, Piaopiao, who had cleaned the lion, stood in front of Xue Wu, waiting for Xue Wu to speak.

After the lion was cleaned, the old rust on it disappeared without a trace, and its whole body was shining with golden light. Xue Wu felt very satisfied.

He looked at Piaopiao and said, "I have seen the pair of lions and I am very satisfied with them. Your craftsmanship is very scarce in the industry and your skills are really good."

Faced with Xue Wu's praise, Piaopiao was not proud at all. She attributed her craftsmanship to her ancestors and deliberately belittled herself.

"These are skills passed down from generation to generation. We dare not throw them away."

Hearing Piaopiao's words, Xue Wu wanted to promote him: "If you are willing to work with me steadily, there is no shortage of work or money. Are you willing to work steadily?"

"Thank you, Boss Xue. I will work hard." Piaopiao promised.

After hearing her promise, Xue Wu began to ask about his opponent: "How did you get to know Wu Xie?"

Wu Xie? Piaopiao was stunned. Although she had seen Wu Xie before, she didn't know who he was. She only knew that there was a Tian Zhen and a Wu Suowei.
When Piaopiao heard Xue Wu's question, a look of confusion appeared on her face. After thinking carefully, she understood who he was asking.

"Wu Xie? I don't know him. Oh, I know the guy next to him. Fatty Wang, he was my elementary school classmate. And Wu Suowei, he's friends with Fatty, they play crazier."

"He likes you." Xue Wu did not hide anything at all.

Listening to Xue Wu's words, Piaopiao wanted to refute him, but she swallowed the words back when they came to her lips. In the end, she lowered her head and did not answer this matter.

Silence is the best answer. Xue Wu showed an unhappy expression on his face: "You also saw it today. They must have a purpose for coming to me. I want you to help me find it out."

Hearing Piaopiao wanting to refuse, Xue Wu immediately interrupted her: "Don't be in a hurry to refuse. Don't you have a purpose for coming to me? Don't you want to treat your daughter's illness?"

"I can help you."

Piaopiao weighed Fatty Wang and her daughter against each other. Although she didn't want to cause trouble for Fatty Wang, her daughter was still her weak spot.

As a mother, the biggest fear is that her children will die before her. She expressed her difficulties: "The special medicine will cost at least one million or eight hundred thousand."

Xue Wu didn't care about this little money at all. He knew why Wu Xie came here, but he didn't mind spending a little money to break up the iron triangle.

Besides, isn't it up to him to decide whether to give money or not?
"As long as you can help me find out the purpose of Wu Xie's visit, I can help you with this matter." Seeing the hesitation on Piaopiao's face, Xue Wu threatened: "If you refuse me, then I can only ask you to get out."

Even if he left, it would not work. Xue Wu once again grasped Piaopiao's weakness and said, "What could be more important than my daughter's medical treatment? Ah, think about it carefully."

After saying that, he turned and left. Looking at Xue Wu's departing back, Piaopiao rubbed her fingers on the spot. She felt very conflicted.

The appearance of Fatty Wang undoubtedly brought new hope to her family. However, the money needed to treat her daughter's illness devoured her like a demon.

No, even two of her wouldn't be able to save that much money.

The three people in the room sat together studying the strange legend, and Wu Xie took out an old photo.

This is a black-and-white photo taken many years ago. It shows the scene when the five ghosts were discovered carrying things. It was part of the investigation report on Hanlin Warehouse that year.

Fatty Wang looked at the photos one by one, feeling very confused.

"You said this person's condition, it's hard to imagine. What did happen at that time? Is he going out or going in?" After the voice fell, Wu Xie called out to the two people who were looking for information, and pointed at the font of the report with his finger.

"Look, it says here that the body is stuck in the wall, in an escaping posture."

"The butt went in first?" Fatty Wang's face was more suspicious: "If there is a fire, you have to run away. The butt runs faster than the face. Is this possible?"

"This posture is probably because someone put it there, just like the legend that people were used to burn the Terracotta Warriors. They covered the people with materials and threw them in to burn them."

Why else would this posture be so strange? It's simply impossible to describe it in words.

After hearing Wu Suo's voice, the two men fell into silence, and Fatty Wang was about to speak.

Dang Dang Dang, there was a knock on the door.

"Fat man!"

Without any warning, Piaopiao walked in.

Oh my god! Fatty Wang was surprised and hurried over to say hello. Wu Xie quickly hid the file and investigated the information.

"You haven't had dinner yet, right? I'll make some extra for you guys."

This time, she came just to see what Wu Xie was doing and saw the backs of several people hiding things furtively.

Just as Piaopiao was about to move over, Fatty Wang invited her to sit next to the long table.

The two people packed up their things and temporarily hid the documents in the drawer. Before they stood up, they heard the sound of the instrument.

"I also brought you some Gankang. You brought it to me last time when I caught a cold. After I took it, my cold was cured."

"The weather has been bad in recent days, and it's easy to catch a cold. Look, Piaopiao, you are really my Xia Yuhe by Daming Lake, this..."

Just as Fatty Wang was about to speak, Wu Xie walked over, put his arm around Fatty's shoulder and said to Piaopiao: "This Fatty is just too rough. He doesn't take care of himself."

"It's great that this sister-in-law is here, isn't it? Someone is taking care of it now, right?"

Wu Suowei nodded. He also thought this was a very good idea. After being in the underworld for a long time, it is true that one dares to hate but not necessarily to love.

Once there is love, others will find your weak spot, and many times, only hatred will remain.

After all, this is determined by the environment. If you want to make a thorough change, you have to clear out many people and many families.

However, Fatty Wang was finally encountered. If there was a chance and Fatty Wang agreed, Wu Suowei decided to send him and Piaopiao away as soon as possible.

Wu Suowei deliberately glanced at Piaopiao: "Sister Piaopiao."

Before he finished speaking, Wu Xie patted Wu Suo's belly and said, "It's Sister Piaopiao."

"Yes, yes, yes, you guys are used to seeing my mouth, this is not good." Wu Suowei scratched the back of his head.

"Sister Piaopiao, old man Xue Wu is too bad. You must pay attention to safety when working here. If something bad happens, resign immediately."

Piaopiao nodded symbolically, then smiled and said, "Let's eat together quickly. The food won't taste good if it gets cold."

Fatty Wang was stunned. Love left only two people in the world. He turned to look at Wu Xie and Wu Suowei.

"Together, haven't you eaten yet?" Wu Suowei rolled his eyes. When did you eat? Now he hadn't even touched a drop of rice. He understood the fat man's little thoughts and nodded immediately.

But Wu Xie didn't understand, and asked with doubt in his voice: "I, I have eaten?"

His voice and expression seemed to be asking Fatty Wang whether he had eaten it or not. Fatty felt that this little brother was usually quite smart.

But when it comes to love, his brain is completely offline and he completely turns into an offline penguin.

Fatty patted Wu Xie's belly and said, "Look how full you are."

Wu Xie immediately understood that Fatty wanted some time alone with his girlfriend, and he was just a third wheel here.

"Yes, yes, sister-in-law, you see, I am so full that my brain is not working. I am really full."

"Shouldn't you go out for a walk?" Fatty Wang guided.

"Yes, yes, yes. I was planning to take Wu Suowei out for a stroll." He patted the fat man's shoulder and said deliberately: "You should eat more with your sister-in-law."

The fat man immediately understood, and the two of them kept calling sister-in-law back and forth, but Piaopiao didn't care.

But Fatty Wang was embarrassed. Although he wanted to get married, he still needed the woman's consent. He was not sure how far he and Piaopiao could go in the end.

But he enjoyed every second of happiness. After the two left, he kicked his legs and fell onto the bed. After being excited for a while, he walked towards Piaopiao with a smile on his face.

"Come, let's eat. What's good to eat?"

Wu Suowei and Wu Xie walked out of the door. The air was cool as it was raining, and the two of them walked around aimlessly.

"Why is this cement so hard? I can't break it even if I knock on it."

"No, I can't knock it. I can't do this job!"

"That's right, this wall is really strange. I don't know what kind of cement it is made of."

"Let's call it a day. Find some tools and come back tomorrow." Wu Suowei turned to look at them. This group of workers was really hardworking. They didn't go home when it was time to get off work and were still working overtime at night.

The two men walked over and watched the group of people walk out carrying iron shovels and bags of mud.

Wu Xie immediately turned on the light on his phone, looked at the wall, touched the wall with his hand, and then carefully felt the particles and humidity of the wall.

Seeing him touching around randomly, Wu Suowei shook his head. The workers were so enthusiastic that they didn't seem to be digging cement, but rather digging a grave.

There was also guidance in the words, apparently asking several people to dig.

It seems that the decisive battle with Manager Ding is about to begin. However, after dealing with Manager Ding, I can have a good rest for a few days. Thinking of this, Wu Suowei felt inexplicably excited.

Then he turned to look at Wu Xie who was checking around: "What's wrong? Did you find any problems?"

Hearing Wu Suowei's words, Wu Xie shook his head: "You just said that the body was thrown in?"

"That's right." Wu Suowei glanced at Wu Xie who was in confusion.

"Now that I think about it, it's possible, but why were they thrown in? This is not right. Something is missing. What is missing?" Wu Xie's face was filled with even more confusion.

"What's missing? Motivation. Why on earth do they want to throw people into cement?" Wu Suowei smiled.

As the voice fell, Wu Xie's eyes lit up. Yes, that was the motivation. What was missing was the motivation.

Why did people in the past embed five people in cement, he wondered.

Boom, thunder sounds in the sky!
