Chapter 23: A Change in Plans
"Chu Yan, that sword looks pretty cool, want me to take a picture of it and send it to you?" Wan Caoni said with a smile, though she wasn't really interested in the item herself. She knew Chu Yan seemed to be quite into cold weapons, so she joked half-seriously.
"This sword is not bad, but it's not my cup of tea. I don't particularly like such a long weapon." Chu Yan's gaze calmly swept across the faces of several security guards in the room, and suddenly a somewhat uncomfortable feeling rose up in his heart, because all these security guards were unfamiliar faces, except for one raccoon dog, they were all faces he had never seen before.
This is far cry from the information Wang Caoni gave him, and it's almost certain that the value of Wang Caoni's information is almost zero. If not, Wang Caoni would have probably found out that these security guards are all Bloody Scorpions as soon as she entered the door, and if she had burst into a run on the spot, things would have been big trouble. Fortunately, Li Zi is not here for the time being, and Chu Yan is actually starting to pray that Li Zi won't appear, otherwise he doesn't know whether he will be forced to make Silver Mouse jump over the wall!
Unfortunately, what was feared came true. Before Chuyan's prayers had a chance to be answered, Wendi pushed the door open and walked in, with Li (the fox) following closely behind him.
"Huh, Jenny, have you noticed that most of the people who like that sword are women? There are only two men participating in the auction." Chu Yan had no choice but to try and divert Wan Caoni's attention, however due to their seating positions, his words didn't spark any interest in Wan Caoni. Her eyes were fixed intently on the security guard with the great physique standing behind Wendy!
"It's all over!" Chu Yan took one glance at the situation and was immediately shocked. This little girl's eyes were really too sinister. "Hey, calm down! Don't be impulsive, otherwise everyone in this house might end up finished today!"
"It's really him! I said why it looks so familiar!!" Chu Yan's low reminder finally played a role at the critical moment, Wan Caoni almost recognized the raccoon dog and was about to draw her gun, fortunately, Chu Yan reminded her kindly on one side, she suppressed her anger and her mind gradually cleared up.
"The intelligence from Interpol is really poor, out of the 18 people who entered the country, only three were correct, and those three, one was already dead, another was being pursued by the police, and the only one standing here unscathed is that fox, while the rest are almost all new faces, these people are obviously newly recruited by Blood Scorpion. Chu Yan whispered to Wan Caimei with a smile, and Wan Caimei also had a smiling face, but her hands didn't stop moving, taking out her phone, wanting to send a message, only to find that there was no signal in this house."
"They should know my identity, why did they still let me in?" Wan Caoni's gaze stayed on Wendy's face, Wendy was standing at the side of the auction stage, smiling faintly at him, but that smile seemed chilling to the extreme.
"Letting you in is safer than leaving you outside." Chu Yan's words were not wrong at all. An elite member of Interpol, if left outside, would pose a huge threat to this operation, but if she was invited in, then under his own gunpoint, her biggest threat would lose all its effect.
"Three hundred and seventy thousand..." In front of Chu Yan, an old man with white hair held up a numbered sign, he was number thirty. The price of the first auction item had already risen to three million seven hundred thousand RMB. Antiques were really hard to define in value, people who liked them would spare no expense, while those who didn't like them wouldn't spend a single cent.
As the first item was auctioned off for nearly four million, Wendy's face lit up with a satisfied smile as she stood in front of the crowd, it seemed that tonight's harvest would be more bountiful than imagined.
"Waaah... Uncle, I want to go home." In front of Chu Yan, near the middle position, a little girl was quietly sitting next to a middle-aged bald man, suddenly bursting into tears for no apparent reason.
At the same time, Wendy tilted her head to one side, as if listening to something. Then her expression changed slightly and she whispered something to the lynx beside her.
Lingzi nodded and came to Chu Yan and Wan CaNi with a expressionless face. "Miss Wan, there's someone outside looking for you, saying it's an urgent matter." Lingzi's Mandarin was not fluent, but barely passed as standard pronunciation.
Wancai Ni's body suddenly had an uncontrollable urge to explode at the moment when Lizi walked over, her right hand stretched towards her waist, but before Wancai Ni could even pull out her gun, Lizi politely said a sentence.
"Who's looking for me?" Knowing that the leopard was a member of the Blood Scorpion, and also knowing that this little guy must have had a price on his head as well, there was a moment when Wancai almost couldn't bear to pull out her gun and shoot him dead!
"Follow me," said the lynx, turning its back to Wancai without any concern. Chuyan also seemed to understand that things had changed and stood up, "Let's go, I'll accompany you."
Wancai Ni and Chuyan followed closely behind Lizi, just as they opened the door, two black gun muzzles were pointed at their heads. Outside the door, on the arms holding the guns, a blue scorpion tail and red bloodstains stood out starkly.
"Hey!!" Wancai Ni wanted to resist, but Chu Yan stopped her impulsiveness. If they provoked these people, they might be killed on the spot. The only question was whether this was part of their original plan or an unexpected change that forced them to take care of Wancai Ni ahead of schedule.
"Interpol? Bring out the guns." The fox turned back, smiling at Wancai Ni, while Chu Yan on the side was simply treated as an unlucky accessory.
"Not bad, I've long heard that Interpol has a little pepper, who loves big guns. Today, I finally got to see it." He took over Wang Caoni's pistol, and the customer who had been hiding his face all along had a lustful smile on his face. This kid was quite skilled with his hands, ruthless and cunning, but there was one thing - whenever he saw beautiful women, he would get a little nervous, unable to move quickly, especially when it came to Wang Caoni's level of fiery passion, which made him drool all over the place, and his pants were also hard as stone, making him feel uncomfortable.
"Whoremonger, I think you don't want to leave here alive." The raccoon dog interrupted the whoremonger's fantasy. The reason for taking down Interpol ahead of time was because Pixie the fat pig had been caught, and the Nanshan City police were gathering forces to rush over here. The original plan had to be changed, and the pace accelerated.
"Shut up, you damned raccoon dog! I know you're Silver Mouse's confidant, but don't point fingers at me in front of my face. You can't control me, get out!" The customer's gloomy voice made the raccoon dog wrinkle his brow, but he didn't lash out in the end. He knew that for now, the main task was more important and it wasn't worth arguing with a guy who couldn't even walk properly when he saw a woman.
The client and another mercenary pinned Chu Yan and Wancai Ni through the corridor, finally arriving at a conference room in the exhibition hall that was not open to outsiders. This is where Wendy had set up her office, of course, not the Wendy here, but the other Wendy who was nowhere to be found.
"Ti Ke, this time the goods are not bad, you one, I one, save you from snatching my treasure." With a flick of his hand, he closed the door. The customer's eyes wandered back and forth between Chu Yan and Wan Cai Ni, with a faint green glow in his eyes. If this kid wasn't afraid of Wan Cai Ni's identity, he would have probably pounced on her already.
"Whoremonger, I'm not interested in men, but you don't have much time. If you want to get with that woman, hurry up! Pix has been caught and the police from Nanshan City somehow got the message for tonight, so they're gathering forces. In 15 minutes at most, they'll be here. It's going to be difficult to leave calmly by then." Tike also likes women, but he's more cautious and never messes around indiscriminately. They both received the message earlier, and the plan has changed - all possible hidden dangers must be eliminated!
"Hehe." The unscrupulous conversation between the client and Tik made Chuyan smile slightly, while Wancai Ni on the side was also a bit dazed. She had already prepared herself for a desperate situation, even if it meant death, she couldn't let that scum desecrate her body.
"What the hell are you laughing at?" The customer's gun was raised, pointing at Chu Yan and shouting angrily. Wan Cai Ni was not afraid at all because she was an Interpol officer, while Chu Yan looked like a young white face, but he was also so arrogant, didn't he know that the gun in his hand was real?
"I'm laughing at you two, don't you know the most effective killing distance of a handgun?" Chu Yan said as he made a face at Wan Cai Ni, then suddenly stretched out his right hand and disarmed the handgun that was less than a meter away from his face. At the same time, he leaned in close and struck the client's throat with his elbow in a flash of lightning.
The client didn't even have the chance to let out a scream before he fell to the ground with his throat covered, Chu Yan's elbow had shattered his trachea, not to mention making a sound, it was likely that even breathing would become a luxury.
On the other hand, Wan Cai Ni hadn't even had time to understand the meaning of Chu Yan's gaze when he launched an attack. She was indeed an Interpol agent, and she quickly ducked down to avoid the muzzle of the gun, while at the same time grabbing onto Tik's wrist that held the gun, and her knee also shot out instantly.
"Bang!! Bang!!" After two muffled sounds, Wang Caoni's offense came to an end, but Tike still didn't let go of the gun in his hand, and Wang Caoni's two knee strikes were also blocked by him!
The caution that had always been his guide brought Tick to from the sudden attack, but just as he thought to counterattack, he felt a pain in the back of his head and everything went black as he fell to the ground.
In Wan Cai Ni's eyes, Chu Yan's hand had just been put down, that is to say, after Chu Yan had dealt with the client, he also lent a hand to help himself. How strong was this man's ability? Who exactly was he?
