Chapter 251 The Defeat of Wu Sansheng
"I never imagined that one of the members of the archaeological team would become the contemporary leader of the Unloading Ridge Warriors."
Mr. Wu was mistaken.
Wu Sansheng stared at Cheng Feng, his words carrying a hint of gritted teeth.
With a victor's smile on his face, Cheng Feng calmly replied:
“Brother Sansheng, there’s no need to blame yourself for this. After all, we weren’t familiar with each other back then, so it’s normal that he didn’t know my background.”
Cheng Feng's words were soft yet barbed, and apart from Yang Xueli and A Xiang, the main figures present all understood them.
This is a mockery of Wu Sansheng, who clearly has a childhood friendship with Chen Wenjin.
But after spending so much time together, I still couldn't tell the difference between what was real and what was fake.
Wu Sansheng took a few deep breaths; Cheng Feng's words almost broke his composure.
"Thank you for your magnanimity!"
Wu Sansheng's eyes revealed an unconcealable hatred, and every word he uttered was filled with emotion.
"You're welcome!"
"you……"
With a loud thud, Wu Sansheng slammed his hand on the table and stood up, causing the chair behind him to fall to the ground with a thud.
Huo Ling, who was watching the scene unfold, almost burst out laughing. She winked at Cheng Feng.
The little hand under the table gave a thumbs up.
"Alright, Sansheng, you came here for more than just to see me, right? Just say what you need to say."
Chen Wenjin was deeply troubled by this situation, but he had no choice but to step forward and break the deadlock.
She feared that if things continued to develop, the Wu family might be left with nothing but poverty.
Wu Sansheng listened to Chen Wenjin's words, partly out of friendship and partly out of remorse.
Even without Cheng Feng, Wu Sansheng knew what the consequences would be.
Therefore, he felt no resentment towards Chen Wenjin, who had followed Cheng Feng, but rather a great deal of guilt.
"My goal is the same as yours: Gutongjing."
After calming down, Wu Sansheng straightened up his chair, sat down again, and said...
Wu Sansheng's words made Cheng Feng's gaze deepen.
"As far as I know, your Lord Zhang has given a strict order that no one within the Nine Gates is allowed to pry into the secrets of Gutongjing."
Wu Sansheng, are you planning to cut yourself off from the Nine Gates?
Faced with Cheng Feng's blunt questioning, Wu Sansheng, having regained his composure, calmly responded:
"You don't need to worry about that. We, the Nine Gates, will handle this matter ourselves."
"That makes sense. Then please do as you see fit. We should get going."
As he spoke, Cheng Feng stood up, reached out and hugged Chen Wenjin beside him, then glanced at Wu Sansheng, whose expression looked like he had eaten shit.
He led everyone out of the inn.
This face-to-face confrontation between rivals ended in a complete defeat for Wu Sansheng.
Nothing is more devastating than watching your loved one being carried away in someone else's arms.
After leaving the inn, Bagri, who had been watching the play for a long time, quietly went to the backyard and led out the camel.
As the group walked through the desert, Chen Wenjin playfully punched Cheng Feng on the shoulder with her small fist and whispered:
"He's already pitiful enough, and you're still bullying him. He's still my friend, no matter what."
"Bullshit, he's clearly my rival in love. I'm only doing this because I didn't smash his head in on the spot because of you."
Cheng Feng scoffed at Chen Wenjin's remarks, calling him a "nonsense friend" and more like an "ex-boyfriend."
Chen Wenjin felt a headache coming on looking at Cheng Feng, who was as stubborn as a mule.
Helpless, she gently comforted him:
"Old Cheng, my heart is with you, so please don't take it to heart, okay?"
Hearing this made Cheng Feng feel relieved. For the sake of family harmony, Cheng Feng reluctantly said:
“I’m easy to talk to. If Wu Sansheng is sensible, we might as well invite him to our wedding banquet.”
Chen Wenjin was utterly speechless. This was like killing someone and then destroying their spirit.
At this moment, Huo Ling, who was openly eavesdropping on their conversation from behind, said in a sarcastic tone:
"Old Cheng, my heart belongs to you."
Phew,
Ah Xiang almost burst out laughing.
Yang Xueli pretended to look at the scenery around her, but only she knew how hard it was to suppress her laughter.
"Xiaoling, are you trying to die?!"
Chen Wenjin felt like she was going crazy; there wasn't a single person in this family who was easy to deal with.
As they bickered and joked along the way, the unpleasantness caused by Wu Sansheng gradually dissipated.
They're out having fun as a family, so they definitely don't want anything to ruin their mood.
Around noon, Barig, who was walking in front, stopped his camel.
Cheng Feng and the others behind them hurriedly grabbed the reins.
Then Barig was seen rolling off the camel onto the sand, collapsing to the ground and beginning to dig downwards.
Seeing this, Cheng Feng and the other women also came down and stood aside to wait for Barig's explanation.
After digging down about twenty centimeters into the sand, Barig dug out a handful of damp sand.
"Hai Zi passed by here in two days, so we're not far from it now."
This guide's skill was no joke; he even detected changes in humidity while riding a camel.
Cheng Feng could do this if he concentrated, but he wasn't as skilled as Ba Rige.
Seeing the sand still damp in Barig's hands, everyone praised it.
Barig's method of finding water in the desert is truly amazing.
Cheng Feng also gave a thumbs up; having such a reliable guide made his journey so easy.
Otherwise, Cheng Feng would probably have to focus most of his energy on sensing the surrounding moisture on the way.
Led by Barig, the group continued their journey in search of Hai Zi's footsteps.
Finally, as evening fell, a desert lake bathed in the red glow of the setting sun appeared before everyone's eyes.
"It's so beautiful. Seeing such a beautiful view makes the trip worthwhile."
The group parked their camels beside the lake, then dismounted and came closer to admire the freshwater lake in the desert.
After admiring the scenery for a while, Cheng Feng broke the silence with his voice:
"Let's take all the luggage off the camels and set up camp here."
Barig looked at Cheng Feng with a puzzled expression and asked:
"Boss, we have too much luggage. If we take it all down, won't it be a bit of a hassle when we leave?"
Cheng Feng responded with a light laugh:
"No trouble at all. Your duty was accomplished once you found Hai Zi."
We can walk the rest of the way ourselves.
Barig opened his mouth in disbelief; for a moment, he felt...
Could the boss who hired him to go into the desert have brought his whole family to jump into the lake and commit suicide?
"Barig, when you leave tomorrow, take enough supplies with you. I think with these camels, I can manage."
The desert shouldn't be able to hold you; thank you very much this time.
As he spoke, Cheng Feng patted Barig on the shoulder.
During dinner that evening, Barig couldn't help but offer Cheng Feng a few words of advice, explaining that it would be very difficult to get out of the desert without camels.
Cheng Feng didn't explain much, only telling him that he had a way to get out and that he didn't need to worry.
In the end, Barig could only agree with some skepticism.
The next morning, under the watchful eyes of Cheng Feng and the four women, Barig rode away on a camel.
He looked back more than ten times along the way, like a bride getting married.
“Barig is such a good man. Next time we come to the desert, we’ll ask him to be our guide again.”
Huo Ling placed her hand in front of her eyes and watched the camel gradually disappear into the distance.
