Lin Qiye did not pick up the knife in a hurry, but turned around and looked at the man.
"Why did you give me this collection?" Lin Qiye asked doubtfully, "Even Wang Mian only took one forbidden item of sequence 301, why did you give me such a high-risk knife?"
"Of course it's because Captain Lin is worthy." The man smiled and said, "Your potential will only be higher than Wang Mian. I believe that you... are the true destination of this forbidden object."
Lin Qiye frowned slightly and was about to say something when the man continued:
"In addition, the master may have a little selfishness."
"What selfish motives?"
"One day in the future, if the Baili family encounters any problems, they will have to rely on you for help..." the man said respectfully.
"So, this is just a deal?" Lin Qiye understood what he meant and asked with a frown.
"What's wrong with the transaction?" The man smiled slightly, "We guarantee that this matter must be within your ability, and it will never violate the rules of your night watchman. It is reasonable."
Lin Qiye fell into silence.
Indeed, in a sense, transactions are more reassuring than mere gifts.
If it is true as he said, it does not seem to be an excessive request to help the Baili family in the future in a way that does not violate the rules of the night watchman and is within the scope of ability.
And this is the property of Baili Pangpang's family after all. If one day something happens to Baili's family, for the sake of Baili Pangpang's kindness, he will probably help even if there is no reward.
Thinking about it this way, this deal seems like a good deal.
"Okay, I promise you." Lin Qiye closed the black box, carried it behind his back, and spoke calmly.
Seeing Lin Qiye put away [Zhan Bai], the smile on the man's face became even brighter, and he bowed deeply, "You and your team will be the eternal friends of the Baili family."
By the time Lin Qiye walked out of the room carrying [Zhan Bai], the other three people had already picked out the forbidden items they wanted.
Cao Yuan picked a bunch of white Buddhist beads hanging on his hand, An Qingyu picked up a square iron box that he couldn't tell what it was, and Jia Lan picked a silver retro bracelet and was playing with it with his head down. It looked very interesting.
like.
"It seems that everyone has made your choice, so let's go directly to the venue." The man said with a smile.
Several people left the collection hall, took the forbidden items they selected, and got into the elevator again.
This time, they went straight to the top floor of the main building, which was the 166th floor.
…
Shangjing City.
"Commander Ye."
"Hello, Commander Ye."
Ye Fan, who was wearing casual clothes, was walking in the corridor of the Night Watch headquarters. The staff who passed by took the initiative to say hello to him. Ye Fan nodded slightly and continued to walk forward.
"So, you thought someone was going to harm Baili Tu Ming, so you deliberately withheld his joining documents?" Beside him, Zuo Qing said thoughtfully.
"That's right." Ye Fan nodded.
"That's not right." Zuo Qing frowned slightly, "Baili Tuming is the heir to the Baili Group. If I were his competitor, I would want him to join the special team quickly. He is too busy all day to manage the group. Of course,
Let me take care of the boss so that I can corrode the group bit by bit. It would be better if he could die outside... Why go to such trouble to withhold his joining documents?"
"This is exactly what I don't understand."
The two walked to the door of the archives room, showed their IDs one after another, and then walked in.
The archives housed many highly confidential documents, and only senior members of the Night Watch could enter, so the environment was much quieter than outside. The two of them passed through the metal shelves filled with file bags and walked straight into the depths.
"There is another possibility, that is, the person who withheld the documents is Baili Xin." Ye Fan said while searching for the documents on the metal rack, "He is an honorary senior official of the Night Watch and Baili Tu Ming's father.
, if he did not want his son to risk his life to join the special team and therefore withheld the application for joining the team, it all makes sense."
Zuo Qing stood in front of the metal frame, lowered his head and thought for a long time, then shook his head.
"You and I both know what kind of person Bai Lixin is...cold-blooded, ruthless, and profit-oriented. If his son joins the special team, it will only give him a greater say in high-level meetings, and even influence the entire Baili Xin.
Being in a group is a good thing, how could he give up such a huge benefit just because he pitied his son's life?"
"call……"
Ye Fan blew lightly on a certain layer of the metal shelf, blowing up the dust on the file bags that had been stored for a long time. He stretched out his hand to disperse the smoke, and slid his fingertips on the stacked file bags, seeming to be looking for something.
.
Finally, his fingers stopped on a brand new document bag.
"The situation here seems to be far more complicated than we imagined." Ye Fan took off the document bag with the words "Baili Tu Ming" written on it from the metal rack after his death. "Anyway, let's start with Baili Tu Ming."
Let’s check Ming’s Night Watch files, starting from the time he entered the Night Watch, and working backwards little by little... to see which link caused the problem.”
Zuo Qing nodded, his eyes fell on the document bag, and there was doubt in his eyes.
"Strange, this document bag must have been there for more than two years, right? Why is it still so new?"
Ye Fan's hands that were opening the document bag paused slightly, his brows furrowed, and he opened the documents faster.
He took out a thick stack of papers from the document bag, starting from the first page, and flipped through it carefully. The moment his eyes fell on the first piece of paper, he froze on the spot.
In his mind, the chubby figure sitting on an ice boat that he met on the sea that day appeared in his mind.
His brows furrowed tightly.
"How could this happen? How could this be possible..." He held the document in his hand blankly, his eyes full of doubts and confusion.
"What's wrong?" Zuo Qing took the documents from his hand and read them one by one, "Is there anything wrong with these documents?"
"No, it's wrong!" Ye Fan shook his head repeatedly, "Wrong, everything is wrong..."
He turned around, quickly walked to the computer in the deepest part of the archives room, and quickly brought up Baili Tuming's electronic document. The scroll wheel quickly passed over the document, and his face became more solemn.
"On what day is the Baili family's birthday banquet?" He turned to ask Zuo Qing.
Zuo Qing thought for a while, "It should be today."
"Where is the fifth reserve team?"
"I'm attending a birthday banquet." Zuo Qing replied matter-of-factly, "Didn't you personally grant them these two days of leave?"
"Oops……"
Ye Fan put the document in Zuo Qing's hand and said seriously: "I have an important meeting to hold later, Zuo Qing, please take a trip to Guangzhou and Shenzhen for me!
If I guess correctly, something big is going to happen to Baili Group..."
