"waste!"

"idiot!"

"That big tripod shouldn't be in the National Museum! You guys should be in there!"

"You can't even do such a simple task! What else can you do?"

The man in the cloak looked at the people who came back to apologize and was so angry that he didn't know what to say.

"Sir! We were originally following Wu Xie and Fatty Wang from a distance, but who knew they would suddenly start arguing at the foot of the Great Wall, and there were so many people around. By the time we realized something was wrong, we had already been swept away by the crowd." The leader defended himself aggrievedly.

The man in the cloak looked at the people who were still quibbling and wanted to kick them away, but when he thought about how he would need them next, he could only force himself to suppress the anger in his heart.

The cloaked man took a deep breath, calming himself down a bit. He gathered himself, then slowly extended a hand from his cloak. The hand trembled slightly in the air like a ghost.

Finally, he flicked his hand, and a piece of paper flew out as if cast by magic. The paper drew a graceful arc in the air and landed squarely in front of the man.

"This is the latest location of Wu Xie and Fatty Wang!" The cloaked man's voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from the depths of hell. "Keep a close eye on them! No more mistakes are allowed! Otherwise..."

He paused for a moment, and those people felt a chill running down their spines, as if a pair of eyes were staring at them intently. It was a creepy gaze that made them shudder.

"Otherwise! You can't say for sure whether the thing on your neck will stay there safely!" The voice of the cloaked man sounded again, and this time his tone revealed an undisguised threat.

The faces of those people turned pale in an instant, their throats rolled up and down unconsciously, and they swallowed hard.

The leader forced himself to remain calm, forcing out a smile that was uglier than crying, and stammered, "Master...don't worry! We won't mess up again this time!"

The cloaked man sneered a few times, his laughter sounding particularly harsh in the silent environment. He seemed dissatisfied with the leader's assurance, but he didn't say anything more.

His figure gradually blurred in front of the people like smoke, and finally disappeared completely, leaving those people looking at each other in bewilderment, their hearts filled with fear and anxiety.

After the cloaked man disappeared, those people's legs went weak and they all collapsed to the ground. The leader picked up the note in front of him with trembling hands, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with shaking hands.

"Boss, where are Wu Xie and Fatty Wang now?" The younger brother behind him crawled to the boss tremblingly and asked cautiously.

"I must not fail again this time!" The boss crumpled the note into a ball, his eyes revealing fatigue.

"Second brother, take the sixth brother and keep an eye on it first. After half an hour or an hour, have the third and fifth brothers keep an eye on it. I don't believe they will be able to recognize it if someone else keeps an eye on it."

The boss divided everyone into three groups, and changed a group every half hour or an hour. After the division of labor was clear, the first group set off to the current location of Wu Xie and Fatty Wang.

Wu Xie and Fatty Wang sat leisurely in a private room in the teahouse, savoring delicate dim sum and sipping tea. Their gaze, through the window of the private room, fell on a few unfamiliar faces that had just appeared on the street below.

"Look, how conspicuous we've become!" Wu Xie said with a faint smile, twisting the teacup in his hand with his fingers as if it were a rare treasure. "Look, another batch has arrived."

Fatty Wang followed Wu Xie's instructions and saw the new faces downstairs looking around furtively, clearly searching for someone. He curled his lips in disdain, "With only these mediocre skills, they're trying to be someone else's spy. How ridiculous."

"I don't know what the situation is like on Mr. Hei's side?" Fatty Wang suddenly thought of Hei Xia Zi who was left alone in Xie's house, and asked with some concern.

Wu Xie seemed quite calm about this, "Hei Xia Zi is so eloquent, what is there to worry about? He will definitely be able to fool those people." However, when he thought of what Hei Xia Zi said in the morning, Wu Xie's anger rose again.

"That being said, although Hei Ye has special guards around him, there's no need to worry too much about Hei Ye's safety. I'm just worried that Hei Ye will have to face so many invisible enemies. I'm worried that he won't be able to handle it!" Fatty Wang was not worried about Hei Xia Zi's safety at all. He was more concerned about the fact that Hei Xia Zi was facing the spies of that government alone. "It's just that Hei Ye must be under a lot of pressure out there alone."

"Fatty, you also said that there are special people protecting Hei Xia Zi. If something really happens to Hei Xia Zi, those people will be the most anxious ones." Wu Xie pursed his lips and retorted.

Fatty Wang sighed and said, "Wu Xie, you don't understand! Although those people are very skilled, they can't withstand the schemes of those with ulterior motives and the brainwashing within their organization!"

Fatty Wang vividly recounted the Wang family's actions to Wu Xie, as if they were happening right before his eyes. He said, "Look at those former members of the Wang family. They were like members of a cult! They've been cultivating their minds since they were very young, making them believe in the Wang family's ideals."

Fatty Wang paused, then went on to talk about his own personal experience. "When I was in that organization, I saw with my own eyes an adult who, just because of a few words from them, was like he was brainwashed and joined them without hesitation. He was so fanatical, it was as if he had lived there since childhood! Even when his wife, children, and parents came and tried to persuade him earnestly, it was completely useless."

Wu Xie shuddered as he listened to Fatty Wang's description, a chill running through his heart. He muttered to himself, "Isn't the Wang family a complete cult? What kind of good people would let someone search for immortality in a tomb?"

Fatty Wang's understanding of the matter was also very limited. In response to Wu Xie's question, he could only helplessly answer, "Well, you might have to ask their ancestor—Wang Zanghai! After all, he was the one who caused all this, and only he knows the inside story."

Wu Xie snorted coldly, "Next time I run into those leaders who seek immortality, I'm going to ask them a question! Is it because they haven't completed the nine years of compulsory education that the country advocates? There are already graves here. Do you think there will be immortality there?"

Fatty Wang smiled innocently, clinked glasses with Wu Xie, and continued to look at the group of stupid spies downstairs who thought they had concealed themselves well.
