Chapter 64: The Underground Auction (Part 1)

  Two and a half days later, Xiong Wu Da called to say that he was introducing a friend to Qu Wen, the address was set in the OK Hall suite not far from the hotel, and finally carefully instructed to bring funds certificate.

  Guang hung up the phone and couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle. The other party really made it seem like they were underground workers.

  For safety considerations, Qu Wen left Zhao Haifeng in the hotel and only brought Duanyan to follow. At least if there was real danger, Duanyan's combat power would be stronger than Zhao Haifeng's.

  Half an hour later, the two arrived at the OK Hall suite. Next to Xiong Wu sat a middle-aged man of similar age but with a completely opposite physique. Under his cold and gloomy face was a sturdy body like an iron tower.

  "This is Lei Zhenhai, Hai Ge. This is Qu Wen, the little brother who wants to participate in the activity." After Qu Wen sat down, Xiong Wu helped introduce each other.

  Lei Zhenhai carefully sized up Qu Wen, then glanced at the invitation. He turned back to Qu Wen, his eyes flashing with a sharp gaze: "Are you interested in participating in this activity?"

  "There is, and it's extremely high!" Qu Wen echoed with the voice, but in fact, he still didn't understand what activity was in the other person's mouth. But intuitively, someone like Lei Zhenhai would absolutely not organize a party for adults.

  At the same time, he also secretly sized up Lei Zhenhai. Apart from his cold exterior and robust build, one could clearly feel a strong aura of a [black] path expert emanating from him.

  Wealthy people often have a noble air, literati and scholars generally have some elegance, assassins have a unique killing aura, heroes and tyrants are full of overbearing aura, all of which are cultivated by a person through years of living in a specific environment and lifestyle.

  "Hai Ge, actually I still haven't figured out what activity you're referring to, previously I just wanted Wu Ge to help find a good route for treasure hunting."

  "Xiong Wu!" Lei Zhenhai grunted, looking sideways at Xiong Wu with a hint of anger in his eyebrows.

  "Yes, yes, it's my fault for not making myself clear. But Qu Wen, the little brother, sincerely wanted to find some good things, so I dared to introduce him to Brother Hai. Without your permission, how dare I spread rumors outside?" Xiong Wu hurriedly smiled and apologized, he was just a small broker in the circle, not on the same level as Lei Zhenhai, who could easily crush him with just a lift of his hand.

  Xiong Wu, as the introducer, helped introduce a few doors. Qu Wen didn't want to make things too difficult for him and interjected: "Hai Ge, I really want to find some good stuff, do you have any extra on hand? A hundred million can be called up at any time."

  Anyway, I've already told Xiong Wu before, and I'm sure he's told Lei Zhenhai too. No harm in saying it again. As he spoke, he took out a bank deposit slip and placed it on the table, revealing his true intentions, enough to show his sincerity.

  Lei Zhenhai picked up the bank printout and took a look, his expression still cold and gloomy: "Since you're here, I won't hide it from you. Three days later, there will be a private antique academic exchange conference held in the suburbs. Normally, newcomers like you would have to go through multiple reviews before being confirmed as meeting the participation standards. But since you're so sincere, we might as well make an exception this time. Someone will contact you three days later and take you to the venue. One last thing, each guest can only bring one companion."

  Lei Zhenhai didn't say auction, but academic exchange meeting. Although the nature is the same, changing a word makes it completely different.

  "Alright, I'll be waiting for good news from Hai Ge." Qu Wen stood up and cupped his hands together in a gesture of respect before leaving with his men.

  He walked halfway and whispered, "Wen Ge, the guy just now had blood on his hands. I've seen this kind of person inside before. With that attitude, he's definitely not just one or two."

  Upon hearing this, Qu Wen was shocked and realized that Lei Zhenhai was not a simple person. If it weren't for Du's words, he wouldn't have understood the cold aura surrounding Lei Zhenhai, which is actually what people commonly refer to as killing intent.

  "In the future, I'll be more careful when encountering people like this." Qu Wen thought to herself, while saying out loud: "Since we have some free time these days, let's go out and have some fun. The day after tomorrow, you stay home and rest, I'll go with Hai Feng to the auction, he knows more about antiques than me, it's not easy for us to go together without making mistakes."

  Three days later, Xiong Wu called early in the morning and said he had driven to the hotel.

  Qu Wen and Zhao Haifeng had just walked out of the hotel when they heard Xiong Wu's hoarse voice.

  "Brother Qu, over here, over here!"

  As he looked over, Xiong Wu was sitting in an ordinary van waving at the two of them.

  When they arrived at the car, Qu Wen only discovered that the interior of the car was divided into two sections, with a wooden board separating them in the middle. From where he sat in the back, he couldn't see the scenery in front. Moreover, there were two young men sitting in the back row, their expressions extremely unfriendly, looking like typical street thugs.

  Hesitated for a moment, Qu Wen still got into the car: "Fifth brother, good morning."

  "Early, but before departure, Brother Five has something to clarify first. Please hand over your mobile phones and walkie-talkies. This is just for the safety of all guests. After the exchange meeting ends, they will naturally be returned to everyone."

  Before arriving, Qu Wen had inquired about the underground auction with Zhao Haifeng, and it was their usual practice to hand over communication devices before getting on the car. Without thinking much, Qu Wen and Zhao Haifeng handed their mobile phones over to Xiong Wu.

  The two young people immediately pulled up the curtains and applied a dark tint to the windows, making it impossible to see where the car was going from any direction.

  The car is moving very slowly and turning from time to time. Because the scenery outside can't be seen, it feels like circling all the way.

  "Brother Wu, do you know what great treasures will appear at the exchange meeting later?" Qu Wen asked Xiong Wu out of boredom.

  "Sorry, I really don't know, to be honest with you, Brother Five is just an intermediary, he can get a corresponding commission from the guests he brings, so the more you two buy today, the more Brother Five gets, as for what's going on later, we'll find out later."

  Xiong Wu said is the truth, each intermediary can get 1% of the transaction commission from the guests they bring, and each intermediary can only bring one group of guests, not multiple. No one knows who other intermediaries will bring or where they are. For intermediaries, the guests they bring are their own money masters, the stronger the guest's purchasing power, the more money the intermediary makes.

  A long time ago, Xiong Wu had received this message, but was troubled by not being able to find a powerful buyer. At the moment of distress, he coincidentally met Qu Wen. Moreover, as soon as Qu Wen opened his mouth, it was two million, and at that time, he was delighted with Le Fei, so he tried every means to strongly promote it.

  Qu Wen heard and smiled: "That time as long as we encounter things we like, we will try our best to take pictures, just like giving Fifth Brother a big red envelope."

  "Alright, Qu Ge is a straightforward person and Wu Ge is also a straightforward person. Next time you come to Gui Zhou, just give a shout, Wu Ge will be at your service anytime."

  The three of them chatted idly in the car for over two hours, and finally the vehicle came to a stop. When they got out, they found themselves already inside a suburban farmhouse. Xiong Wu's authority only went this far, and from here on, they would be received by the staff inside the farm.

  Without hurrying to appreciate the surrounding scenery, Qu Yun and Wen were led into the large hall inside the farm. At this time, the hall was already packed with people, one by one in brocade clothes, with extraordinary bearing, or enchanting beauty, tempting heartstrings, gathered in groups of three or five, discussing topics of mutual interest.

  "My god, antiques are really a luxury that only the wealthy can afford!" Qu Wen cursed in a low voice, feeling like he had come to attend an upper-class social gathering rather than an underground auction.

  As they walked and talked, a person suddenly appeared from the side and collided with them. Luckily, Qu Wen's body was sturdy, and he only took a slight step back before regaining his balance. However, the other person was knocked to the ground by Qu Wen.

  "Can't you walk properly?!" Although it was a curse, the voice was extremely pleasant to hear, and one could tell at once that it came from a beautiful woman.

  Qu Wen's eyes widened in shock as he looked up and exclaimed: "How could it be you!!"

  Thank you for the reward from Wu Zhong Chen Fu, Mo Min will continue to work hard and write a great "Pig Star Shining High"!
