The Lost Tomb : Sea Of Sands

Chapter 5: Hundred Thousand

Li Cu has been listening to Liang Wan and Wang Meng chatting during the meal. Wang Meng was very patient and didn't ask Li Cu any questions, just kept casually chatting with Liang Wan. Li Cu became more and more confused as he listened to their conversation.

At first, Li Cu had thought that this Wang Meng might be a staff member of a mental hospital; otherwise, how could he have such a perverted colleague? Or maybe he was with the underworld, and Huang Yan was involved in some dirty business, Wang Meng was his partner, and now he had come to use money to keep Li Cu quiet. But after listening, Li Cu once again found something off. From this guy's piecemeal words, he seemed more and more like a small businessman.

Since Wang Meng frequently mentioned such trivial things as goods, shops, and owners, it gave off a feeling that he was a vendor selling cut cakes, or a merchant selling dry goods. But Li Cu thought he was very good at judging people, and although this guy did small business, it was definitely different from others, since Wang Meng's aura was completely different from that of ordinary people.

Indeed, it was a kind of distant feeling, as if everything the man said was irrelevant. The real secret was deeply buried in his heart and he would never say it.

From their conversation, Li Cu could also gather one thing— it seemed that Wang Meng's boss was a very powerful and important person.

"He's changed a lot compared to a year ago." Wang Meng often used this phrase to describe his boss, but he was unwilling to reveal more.

Liang Wan seemed to be very interested in Wang Meng's boss, and whether it was intentional or not, she often returned back to the topic, but Wang Meng easily fended her off. Liang Wan was really a top-notch love-struck fool, and didn't realize that this man has been perfunctory.

Of course, when Li Cu remembered this scene many years later, he realized that Liang Wan wasn't an infatuated fool, he just wasn't good enough at judging people.

After the meal, they went to the nearby hotel. The combination of a man and a woman walking with a high school student, who was still wearing a hospital gown, was really quite strange. Fortunately, as long as there was money in this society, the problems one encountered would be fewer. As a result, this strange group of people didn't run into any trouble.

Wang Meng had booked a luxurious suite, and Li Cu walked in like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden [1]. When he saw the big sofa in the living room of the suite, he was stunned speechless.

Liang Wan took out the envelope she had showed Li Cu before and threw it on the sofa, then said to Wang Meng, "Hurry up."

Just as she finished speaking, Wang Meng pulled a razor-like thing from his pocket and stabbed Liang Wan in the back. As it sent out a series of electric shocks, Liang Wan screamed and collapsed on the sofa.

"Taser." Wang Meng explained to Li Cu, crouching down and touching Liang Wan's neck as she lay there twitching. As he said this, he walked over to Li Cu: "Don't be afraid, my colleague left something on your back and I want it back. The money is yours. I don't want this woman to know too much about it."

Li Cu was stunned. When he had felt his back at the hospital, all the scars on it had been sewn up by the doctor. How could there be anything? He thought to himself, "Damn it, you really came to finish your colleague's perverted work." What kind of shop was this guy talking about? Was it one selling handbags?

In this case, however, there was no point in making anymore guesses. Li Cu immediately backed away.

"Don't be afraid." Wang Meng continued, approaching him step by step with the taser still in hand. Li Cu knew it was going to be bad; he had seen the power of this kind of thing before on the internet. When people were electrocuted, they would even lose control of their bodily functions. Li Cu didn't panic, however. His years of fighting and being chased by his father at home were enough to delay him for a while as his eyes instinctively looked around, searching for a way to escape.
