"No... I'm worried that you don't have the capital to have direct contact with the 'guests'."
"Haha... Thank you for your concern, but it's not necessary. You just need to tell us who they are."
…
Percival's Underworld.
Hong Yan's auction is coming to an end.
Although the sudden appearance of the sky-high price necklace disrupted the mission rhythm of Ye Xin and others, in general the image was not too big.
It's just that Hong Yan suddenly assassinated the guests participating in the auction, which surprised them.
…
"What exactly does Hong Yan want to do?" Concubine Wan Xiao asked.
Xue Yi and Ye Xin both just shrugged, and Wei Yining couldn't figure out the relationship.
"Forget it, no matter what they are going to do, our goal is the 'factor' anyway. As long as we find it, nothing else matters." What Wan Xiaofei said hit the point.
Ye Xin nodded: "Well, judging from the current situation, this auction is just a cover. Hong Yan should have small internal transactions, but I don't know who will participate."
Xue Yidao: "Our mission this time is to assist you. Now that the direction is clear, what should I say? Arrange the mission?"
After saying that, Xue Yi looked at Ye Xin and Concubine Wan Xiao.
Concubine Wan Xiao didn't seem to be the one making up her mind, so her eyes finally focused on Ye Xin.
Ye Xin couldn't hide even if he wanted to, so he said: "Let's do this, Brother Yi and Sister Yi Ning, you two are responsible for collecting intelligence. The main goal is to find out whether Hong Yan has any undisclosed small-scale auctions this time.
Everyone will attend the meeting. Concubine Xiao and I will go to the underground warehouse to see if we can directly enter the storage room and find the target."
Xue Yi pondered for a while and then said: "Collecting intelligence is not a project I am good at... How about I switch with you two?"
Ye Xin said nothing and looked directly at Concubine Wan Xiao beside him.
…
In the end, the original pairing of men and women turned into a pair of "lilies" and a pair of "gays."
Ye Xin and Xue Yi changed into combat equipment and headed to the underground warehouse, while Wan Xiaofei and Wei Yining dressed up to attend the auction's last dinner to collect intelligence.
…
But speaking of it, in fact, not only Xue Yi was not good at gathering intelligence, Wei Yining was even more so, but she was too embarrassed to say it. Fortunately, Concubine Wan Xiao was prepared.
She had already released enough red ants on the first day of the banquet. Now she had already distinguished which guests did not need to be contacted and which guests were suspicious, leaving only the final confirmation.
So as soon as she arrived at the banquet, Concubine Wan Xiao locked her eyes on one of the targets.
"Sister, do you see that fat man over there?"
Wei Yining followed Concubine Wan Xiao's gaze and saw a somewhat silly-looking man standing in the center of the banquet looking around. She didn't know if he had become separated from his companions or if this was his first time attending such an auction.
All in all, he looked confused and uneasy.
"Well..." Wei Yining hates contact with strangers, let alone men like this.
Of course Concubine Wan Xiao could see her expression and said: "Leave it to me. Sister just needs to take this glass of wine and go to the balcony to look at the moon. In addition...there are some lines here that sister may be able to use."
.”
Wei Yining was a little confused, but she obeyed the arrangement, took the wine glass handed by Concubine Wan Xiao and walked straight to the balcony.
After watching this black swan go away,
, Concubine Wan Xiao took a deep breath, then drank two large glasses of wine, then deliberately poured some wine on her clothes, then picked up a piece of small cake, and walked towards the fat man drunkenly.
…
The fat man's name is Lou Shengli, and he is the successor of the Lou family, which was once second only to the eight major families.
Although the power of the Lou family is much lower than that of the eight major families, it can still be regarded as a relatively famous family. It is a pity that the family has declined in Lou Shengli's generation and is not as good as before.
However, this is not because Lou Shengli is a prodigal, but because the Lou family's main industry "energy collection" has been divided up by Pingyu Group and the Glorious Republic. Now the Lou family can only rely on others to maintain the family, which is naturally much worse.
.
But there is an old saying: "A skinny camel is bigger than a horse!"
The ancestors of the Lou family started from scratch in the early days of the empire. Even if the ancestral property accumulated over thousands of years was divided up, it was only a resource on the surface. In fact, few people know the real wealth of the Lou family.
It is these little-known wealth that support the Lou family to this day.
Up to now, Lou Shengli was invited to Hongyan. Naturally, the main purpose was not for this auction, but for an important event after the auction.
As the head of the family, Lou Shengli looked a little silly, but his foolishness was just superficial. Otherwise, he would not have dared to come to Hongyan alone.
…
Concubine Wan Xiao had verified Lou Shengli's relevant information. She and Ye Xin had been busy these days. On the surface they were "playing", but secretly they had checked all the guests.
…
After arriving near Lou Shengli, Concubine Wan Xiao's face was red and her steps were weak. As she was walking, she "accidentally" bumped into Lou Shengli, and the small cake in her hand also smeared all over Lou Shengli.
Lou Shengli's back was facing Concubine Wan Xiao at the time. It didn't matter that his clothes were stained by this collision, but Lou Shengli was shocked. He thought someone was attacking him from behind.
As a result, when I turned around, I saw the drunk Concubine Wan Xiao.
When it comes to beauty, Concubine Wan Xiao is the cute type that I feel pity for, and she is not that stunning.
But the little cutie is different when she's drunk. Her pink-faced look is particularly pitiful, and her breath like orchid adds a bit of temptation.
Lou Shengli is only in his early thirties. Although he has been married for a long time, his relationship with his wife is very ordinary. This is the main reason why he did not take his wife with him this time.
Therefore, when he saw Concubine Wan Xiao in a drunken state, I have to say that Lou Shengli's heartbeat accelerated a lot.
Concubine Wan Xiao knows all these heart rate data clearly.
…
"I'm sorry...I'm really sorry for staining your clothes..." Concubine Wan Xiao's acting skills are top-notch.
Lou Shengli supported her, and after being stunned for a while, he said, "Well, it's okay, but where is your companion, young lady? Do you want me to take you back?"
When Concubine Wan Xiao heard about her companion, her face immediately darkened, and she said in a cold voice: "Dead!"
"ah?"
…
"Sneeze!" Ye Xin suddenly sneezed.
Xue Yi was startled: "Hey! Keep your voice down!"
Ye Xin didn't want to either. He quickly checked the situation on both sides of the passage. After making sure that no one had attracted attention, he rubbed his nose and said, "It's probably Concubine Xiao who is saying bad things about me behind my back again!"
Xue Yi was startled when he heard this, and then smiled ambiguously: "Oh, someone is in love?!"
Ye Xin rolled his eyes: "Shit, I don't like her kind of violence, there is no femininity at all!"
"Oh? But why do I feel that Concubine Xiao is very nice? She is beautiful and lively, and she matches you very well!"
Ye Xin stuffed the guard's body into the cabinet and stood up and said, "That's because you don't understand her. Look here, she was the one who beat her last time."
Xue Yi looked at the scratches on Ye Xin's wrist, and his expression did not become surprised. Instead, he showed an aunt-like smile and said: "Don't show off your merit medals to me, I understand, I understand!"
Ye Xin: "..."
…
"Dead...dead?!" Lou Shengli thought he heard wrongly.
Concubine Wan Xiao raised her head and looked at Lou Sheng in front of her and said coldly: "Yes! Dead! That kind of bastard! Living in this world is polluting the air!"
After saying that, she broke away from Lou Shengli's hand and walked to the side to hold on to the table, looking very uncomfortable.
When Lou Shengli understood what was happening, he rubbed his hands in embarrassment and wanted to leave, but when he saw Concubine Wan Xiao crying, he stopped again.
"You..." Lou Shengli was a little nervous. Although he was alert, it was not his style to leave such a girl alone.
"Are you OK?"
When Concubine Wan Xiao heard this, she quickly wiped away her tears and went to get the wine again.
When Lou Shengli saw this, he quickly stopped him: "Hey! Girl, you can't drink anymore! Something will happen to a person like you!"
Concubine Wan Xiao didn't care about him, grabbed the bottle and said: "Something happened? Haha...don't you men just like to see us drunk? I will drink as much as I can now, and don't stop me, you won't suffer any loss anyway!"
"
With that said, Concubine Wan Xiao ignored Lou Shengli's obstruction, raised the bottle and drank most of it.
The remaining bit was sprinkled all over the body.
Upon seeing this, the surrounding guests looked at Lou Shengli with strange eyes, probably thinking.
"What's going on with this man? He's so ungentlemanly!"
Lou Shengli really can't leave now even if she wants to.
Although Concubine Wan Xiao is petite, she looks more than heroic when drinking.
But after she finished drinking the bottle, she threw the bottle down with a half-smile on her face. After staring at Lou Shengli for a while, she rolled her eyes and fell backwards.
Lou Shengli quickly helped her up.
Looking at the girl in his arms, Lou Shengli sighed and said in his heart: 'What's the matter...'
…
Concubine Wan Xiao made a lot of noise here.
However, Wei Yining, who was on the balcony, didn't notice. She was leaning against the guardrail with a drink in hand, looking at the simulated full moon over the underground city.
In the quiet environment, Wei Yining was not thinking about anything, she was just enjoying the rare silence.
But the silence didn't last long, as a magnetic voice came from behind.
"The moon is not that big visible inside the dome."
Wei Yining didn't look back, she smiled softly, the wine in the glass swaying with the moonlight.
"Miss, are you here alone?" The slightly irritable chatter stopped about five meters away from Wei Yining. He also leaned against the guardrail, but what he was looking at was not the moon, but the beauty under the moonlight.
Wei Yining glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and confirmed the person's identity.
…
Li Nianxian is the eldest son of the Li family, which is second only to the eight major families. Compared with the Lou family, which has a deeper foundation, the Li family is relatively younger.
Moreover, the main industry of the Li family is Yi Yuanzi Refining, which is one of the most profitable industries nowadays. Although the Li family does not engage in energy development, agriculture and other conventional industries, it is closely related to this Yi Yuanzi Refining
