Chapter 22: Twin Blades Attend the Gathering

  Nanshan Museum No. 1, Security Command Center.

  In front of Wendy, six Asian-faced subordinates stood, he was furious that he was caught by the police yesterday when he went to a bar, and he hated Chinese baijiu even more, if he hadn't drunk so much baijiu, he would never have been followed by a small town's police.

  "That idiot from Pixar almost got us killed this time, choosing him to come to China was a wrong decision from the start. Who knew he had a screw loose and would actually find the Black Widow, that bitch is a major wanted criminal in China. This is great, we almost got caught all at once!" Wendy's voice was very low and obviously very angry.

  "Mouse brother, that white idiot from Pikes has always been a lone wolf, why did he suddenly change his ways? Is the charm of that black widow really that strong?" The speaker was 1.65 meters tall, with an ordinary appearance, wearing a uniform from Nan Shan City's Ninth High School, and had a thick pair of glasses perched on the end of his nose.

  "Bookworm, you don't understand this, do you? Although Pixies are lone wolves, their reputation spreads quickly in their line of work. Maybe masters appreciate each other's skills." TJ said with a smirk, teasing his good brother.

  "The Black Widow is a legendary figure in the kidnapping and human trafficking world, Pixie wouldn't let her go easily when he saw her, their cooperation had been planned long ago." Silver Mouse's face was gloomy and frightening, as for Pixie, this guy who only knew how to kidnap, she had done enough detailed investigation on him from the first day he joined the Blood Scorpion.

  "Originally, I was thinking of making Pix create as much panic as possible, so that the Nanshan City police would focus all their attention on the kidnapping case, and then we could act more easily. Now it seems that the goal has been achieved, but I don't know if that fat pig can hold on until tomorrow night without being caught." A middle-aged man with an unremarkable appearance next to Silver Mouse took over his words, and after a simple analysis, Silver Mouse nodded slowly.

  "That's right, this might be a good thing. Now that Pixie has exposed herself and Black Widow is on the Chinese police's wanted list, these two clues are enough to make the Nanshan City police invest a large amount of manpower. And our side can complete the task quietly." Silver Mouse said here hesitated for a moment, then took out his mobile phone and dialed a number "How is he?"

  "It won't die." The voice from the receiver put Silver Mouse at ease, and he put down his phone. With a serious expression, he gathered everyone in the house together. "So, let's go through the final check of every step in our plan once more. Bookworm, your task is..."

  ……

  Nanshan City, Longtan Tourist Resort Village, Country Villa Group, No. 4

  This is the largest tourist resort in Nanshan, aside from a five-star hotel, the most popular among tourists are those country-style wooden villas comparable to California's, staying overnight in one of these villas is expensive but still in short supply.

  "What's going on? Why did they leak our hideout location? How could those useless cops find us?" Inside the wooden house, Hei Guafu was holding her phone and muttering in a low voice. Obviously, she had been caught off guard by the police who had raided her den in Nanshan City, causing her heavy losses. The loss of money was nothing compared to the damage to her reputation and name, which were more important to her.

  Next to her sat a middle-aged man with a gloomy face who had not spoken, the middle-aged man looked about forty years old, his facial skin seemed to have been weathered, dark and rough, but his eyes were shining brightly, sitting on the sofa with his back straight, his big hands were full of calluses, and around his waist, there was a bulge as if hiding something.

  "The ticket ripper, this guy is indeed notorious, unfortunately I still can't get him to join us, and the forces behind him, I also can't contend with. Fortunately, there's still time, Liang Ge, let's prepare to leave Nan Shan City, go to Bei Hai City to replenish our supplies. Recently, it's really not possible to stay in Nan Shan City." The Black Widow was still dressed in her usual sloppy attire, but the words coming out of her mouth were anything but rustic, even revealing a hint of disdain for life between the lines.

  "What about Pixar? Take it down?" The middle-aged man's words were brief, but murderous.

  "No, if we take him down, our line of work will lose another top-notch expert. Besides, he's backed by a group of fearless international mercenaries. We're in the business of making deals without shedding blood. If we clash with them, it'll be us who end up dead. Let's just stick to what we do best." The Black Widow finished speaking and pulled off the tacky wig on her head, then turned and walked towards the restroom.

  …….

  At night, 7:45, the gate of Nanshan City's First Museum had already closed, and tomorrow's exhibition had also been announced to be over. However, the VIP passage was still open, and around the museum, dozens of security guards suddenly appeared, apparently, something important would happen here tonight.

  "The auction will officially start at nine o'clock, and two hours later, we will leave here directly by plane. After the task is completed, I believe that all the brothers present can have a good rest for a while. This deal is done, our gains are quite large!"

  In front of Wendy at the Security Center, fourteen security guards with mixed foreign and Chinese faces gathered, which was almost all the manpower brought by Bloody Scorpion, except for two people who were not present here, presumably having other arrangements.

  "Brother Mouse, this time's auction items, the total estimated value is around 600 million. After deducting the portion we need to pay to the organization, how much will each of us get?" Lynx asked the question that everyone was most concerned about, and Wendy's face showed an excited smile.

  "Almost 30 million per person." As soon as Wendy spoke, everyone was excited, and Wendy's next words made them even more excited. "However, have you all seen the things in the third-floor exhibition hall? After the task is completed smoothly, if any of my brothers have the ability, feel free to empty the third floor, and how much they can gain will depend on their individual abilities."

  "Hum!!" The murmurs rose, this time's mission was too easy, infiltrating the security system and fully controlling it, what followed was like a routine meal for them, they hadn't had such a low-risk task in a long time.

  "Alright, let's get ready and look forward to our bountiful harvest!" Yin Shu said, as the members under him stood up one after another, adjusted their uniforms, turned around and left the security center. Only after everyone had left did Yin Shu take out his phone: "Cat Ge, everything is arranged. At 9 o'clock when the auction starts, this place will be completely sealed off, not even a fly can get in, until we get what we want."

  "Great, showtime is almost here!" The voice on the phone was very satisfied, eagerly waiting for the passage of time.

  8:45, in front of the First Museum of Nanshan City, Chu Yan's figure appeared leisurely, and with him was Xiao La Jiao Wan Cai Ni. As soon as these two people entered the security personnel's line of sight, Wen Di's silver mouse received the news at the first time.

  "What? I know, let her in..." Silver Mouse couldn't help but feel a headache coming on at the sudden appearance of this Interpol agent. This Wan Cai Ni was notorious for being a powder keg; if any of his people were recognized by her, things would likely get messy. However, since she had already arrived at the door, refusing to let her in now could only arouse more suspicion.

  "Good evening, Miss Carol." The fourth floor auction hall was a professionally decorated room. At the entrance of the room, Carol, the host of this auction, stood with a smile to greet each guest who came to participate in the auction.

  "Good evening, both of you. Please verify the funds." Carol didn't expect these two people to come so suddenly. As far as she knew, the salary of Interpol was high, but not that high. The entrance fee of 10 million was still too high for an Interpol officer.

  Wancai Ni nodded, this girl, although only an Interpol officer, was not short of money herself, and her family was even poorer with only money left. So, she took out a Supreme White Gold Card from UBS Switzerland from her pocket, the minimum deposit for this card is 20 million US dollars. Carlo's eyes flashed with surprise, nodded at the two, and handed Wancai Ni a number plate.

  That card was all too familiar to Carol, her own boss Wendy had one, and now this Interpol officer was producing another one, when did money become so worthless?

  Surprise returned to surprise, and the requirements were met. The host had no reason to refuse the guest at the door, so when the time was about to reach 8:58, the VIP passage of the museum also slowly closed, and a row of more than 30 ordinary security guards stood with their backs to the museum, blocking the main gate of the VIP passage tightly.

  The fourth floor auction hall, the door was tightly closed, and the only passage outside the door stood four burly foreign security guards. Inside the auction hall, surrounding the auction site were eight security personnel of different builds, among whom a young man wearing glasses, known as "bookworm", was conspicuous in the lineup.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, good evening. I am the host of this auction, as well as the auctioneer, Zhang Meiqi. You may address me as Carol." Carol stood on the auction stage with a smile, giving a brief self-introduction, while Chu Yan's gaze swept across the crowd.

  Because he came the latest, his seat was in the last row. It was obvious to those sitting in front of him that when he saw a little girl sitting in the seat in front of him, Chu Yan's heart suddenly felt cold.

  "How can there be children in this kind of occasion?" Before Chu Yan could figure it out, Carol had already announced the official start of the auction on stage, and the first item to be auctioned off was already being presented by a hostess wearing a mini skirt.

  "The first item for auction, the Sword of Goujian, King of Yue, has been appraised by multiple experts as a genuine article. The starting price is 500,000 yuan. Please place your bids." With this concise and clear introduction, the curtain officially opened on the auction. Among the four foreign security guards standing outside the door, two turned around and pushed open the door to enter the room, while the other two pressed the switch on their communication devices.
