Chapter 1133: Thorough Investigation
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Roars of a helicopter rolled from the sky and everyone trapped in the auction venue looked on with fear. Before long, the entrance to the auction venue was trampled open from the outside and a large number of soldiers rushed in fully armed.
“Uh… what’s going on?”
The over 200 guests in the venue truly didn’t expect that military personnel would really show up, invoking fear as they looked at Tang Xiu instantly. Even that old man in the second row now looked pale with evident shock on his face.
Tap, tap, tap…
With orderly footsteps, Zhu Long strode inside with two experts from the Special Abilities Bureau and came to the auction stage under everyone’s gaze. He gave a standard salute and reported in a deep voice. “Zhu Long reporting to the senior officer! The Chief is on the way here, he should be arriving in about 40 minutes.”
Tang Xiu nodded in response and said, “Seal the entire island completely, be it the sky, ground, underground, or water, and completely carry out full monitoring. Leave no flies unchecked!”
“Understood!”
Zhu Long replied shortly and immediately rushed outside.
A moment later, Elder Mei came in from the outside with five big men, shaking his head and saying, “I can’t find him. He seems to have… just disappeared out of the blue.”
Coldness flashed in Tang Xiu’s eyes as he said, “For slipping away without anyone noticing, the man himself seems to possess quite a combat ability since he’s able to avoid all the monitoring equipment on the island. However, he can never run as long as he’s still in China.”
At the seating rows in the venue, Ouyang Lulu watched Tang Xiu with eyes flickering with splendor. Never did she imagine that Tang Xiu was actually someone from the state. She did hear that he carried out some missions for the country prior to this. But now, it seemed like what she knew about him was still not enough.
But still, he looks so cool now.
Still at the seating rows, apart from the old lady Zui Ying, no one knew that Tang Xiu was someone from the state save Miao Wentang since the man had long known about this identity. But the fact was something never exposed to Tang Wei. He was simply caught off guard knowing that Tang Xiu was affiliated to the state and was truly in admiration toward this younger brother of his.
Time fleeted by and the puzzled Duanmu Lin, who brought a group of experts from the Special Abilities Bureau, finally arrived in a rush. The confusion on his face became more visible upon seeing the scene at the auction venue. He had always believed in Tang Xiu had certain and strict criterions regardless of what he did. But didn’t this look like a big scene?
“Tang…”
Just as Duanmu Lin came to Tang Xiu’s front and blurted out, Tang Xiu stopped him. Shortly after, the two men came to the corner of the auction venue and Tang Xiu said in a deep voice, “I need you to give me an explanation, Senior Duanmu.”
“How did you make yourself like this, though?” replied Duanmu Lin with a wry smile. “Also, you want me to explain, but what should I explain to you?”
Tang Xiu opened the yellow silk fabric cover on the tray. Duanmu Lin instantly understood in a flash after seeing the Aeroglider.
“How come this object appeared here?” asked Duanmu Lin in a lowered voice.
“I originally came here for the auction, but I didn’t expect to see this stuff being auctioned either.” Tang Xiu explained, “I already called Kang Xia, and she told me there’s no problem at the factory since all members of the security team are our people. Additionally, I’ve already questioned the organizer of this auction as well. He said that the person who sent this Aeroglider has the smell of a soldier.”
Duanmu Lin’s pupils shrunk and instantly blurted out, “I’ll definitely give you an explanation for this shit! Who’s the one in charge of this auction?!”
“It’s me.”
Elder Mei wore a forced smile and slowly walked over. Then, he spoke with a bitter smile, “I never thought I’d bump into you in this situation, Duanmu. You seem to have been having quite an easy time serving the state.”
Duanmu Lin, whose focus had been concentrated on Tang Xiu, didn’t even notice his own old friend. But when he saw the old man Mei, his brows frowned. “Are you the one who organized this auction, Mei geezer?”
“Yeah.” The old man Mei replied, “Some children in the family have been tossing about. I got nothing to do and so joined the party here, though I never thought that I’d get into trouble.”
Duanmu Lin glanced around fast and immediately replied in a low voice, “We’ve been old comrades, Mei geezer, and we know each other inside out. Now, tell me the truth, from where did you get this stuff, exactly?”
“I already told this little brother surnamed Tang before. Someone sent it here and he got a soldier smell on him—one who has gone through real battles. I’m hella sure about that. I thought that man was a veteran, but I didn’t expect that this matter would involve some secrets.”
Duanmu Lin fell into silence for a while and then slowly said, “Can you tell me what he looks like? Or better, do you have a photo or footage of him?”
“I do.” Elder Mei nodded.
