Frankly speaking, after reading the telegram, Jiang Baimian was a little puzzled, because it was not the first time that Lehman smuggled arms, and he had a large network of connections in Primordial City, and he also had a group of men with good strength and strong firepower. , it can't be called high-profile, or even cautious, how can it suddenly get into danger for no reason
"What happened to make Leiman ask for help and give him time to send this telegram?" Bai Chen expressed his doubts.
Jiang Baimian looked sideways at Shang Jianyao and Genawa.
The two shook their heads in sync:
"Insufficient intelligence to analyze."
Seeing this, Long Yuehong said after deliberation:
"Could this telegram be fake? After someone caught Lehman, they interrogated our contact information and sent a telegram to lure us into the bait?"
Jiang Baimian first nodded, then said:
"It also shows that Lehman is in danger."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shang Jianyao said with a sad face:
"Our military exoskeletons and T1 robotic arms are also at risk."
For some reason, both Long Yuehong and Bai Chen felt that this sentence was in their hearts.
Genova analyzed another possibility:
"Could it be that our enemy found Lehman, and the two sides reached an agreement to deal with us?"
What he meant was that the telegraph was a trap in another sense.
"Then there's no need to do this, you can directly choose our trading site." Long Yuehong can also be called active thinking now.
Jiang Baimian said "um":
"But when we made a deal with Lehman, we wouldn't do exactly what he said, and we would definitely take the initiative in our own hands."
She glanced at the telegram again, and stopped talking:
"No matter what, go to Corne Street first, but don't rush to show up, and focus on secret observation."
"Yes, team leader!" Shang Jianyao was very concerned about this matter.
…
Corner Street is located at the junction of the Red Giant Wolf District and the Golden Wheat Sui District. It has the characteristics of good law and order and complicated personnel.
After several rounds of secret observation, the "Old Tuning Team" initially confirmed that the apartment at No. 55 was not monitored by anyone.
- They used the "Ring of Blindness" to greatly increase Shang Jianyao's sensing range and confirm whether there is human consciousness in those relatively distant places that are convenient for monitoring and sniping.
After completing the work in this regard, the "Old Tune Team" acted separately again. Bai Chen and Long Yuehong put on military exoskeleton devices, monitored the surroundings from a high point, and responded at any time. Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao, and Genawa directly Entered apartment 55.
On the second floor, Jiang Baimian saw Lehman's two men at a glance.
- They met in the Redstone Set with the four other members of the "Old Tunes Group" except Genava.
"Long time no see!" Shang Jianyao greeted happily.
One of Lehman's subordinates nodded solemnly:
"Why did you all come here suddenly? Haven't you determined the place and time of the transaction?"
Isn't your boss calling for help? Jiang Baimian's eyebrows moved slightly, and he said in a serious tone:
"If it wasn't for an appointment to trade here, how do you think we knew you were here?"
Both of Lehman's subordinates showed bewildered and puzzled expressions, and there was a feeling that things were beyond their expectations and they didn't know how to deal with them.
"Where is Lehman?" Jiang Baimian didn't give them a chance to think.
"The boss is on the third floor." One of Lehman's subordinates replied instinctively.
He immediately emphasized:
"But you can't go up."
Jiang Baimian's eyes turned slightly, and he and Shang Jianyao looked at each other.
Shang Jianyao immediately retorted:
"Why can't you go up
"We are acquaintances with Lehman; we agreed to make a deal; why can't we go up?"
Lehman's two subordinates fell into contemplation and said after a few seconds:
"It does..."
Shang Jianyao didn't say more, and took the lead in passing between the two people in front of him.
Jiang Baimian and Genawa followed closely behind.
There are six rooms on the third floor. Shang Jianyao wanted to shout "Where are you Lehman Lehman?", but was grabbed by Jiang Baimian.
"Let Lao Ge do the scan first..." Jiang Baimian said in a low voice.
Before she finished speaking, in one of the two rooms farthest from the stairs, the wooden door creaked open.
Lehman, who looked like a simple and honest farmer, looked at them.
The arms dealer suddenly looked happy, waved his hands again and again, and said in a low voice:
"Here here."
Seeing that Leiman was safe and sound but very anxious, Jiang Baimian led Shang Jianyao and Genawa to the room with a stomach full of doubts and speculations.
During this process, they did not relax their observation, sensing and scanning of their surroundings.
As soon as the three of them entered the room, Leiman glanced outside and quickly closed the wooden door.
"You are finally here!" The arms dealer from "United Industries" was obviously relieved.
"One cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops will meet each other." Shang Jianyao said in a serious tone.
Although Leiman could speak basic grayish language, he didn't understand what Shang Jianyao meant.
Jiang Baimian did not explain, and instead asked:
"Mr. Lehman, I don't think you have anything to do. Why do you ask us for help?"
Before speaking, she had looked around to see the situation in the room.
This is a two-bedroom, one-living, and one-bathroom apartment with complete tables and chairs, a clean environment, and even a TV that can receive the only channel of the original city's official TV station.
Lehman showed a puzzled and fearful expression:
"Something strange happened that made me feel very dangerous."
Jiang Baimian nodded thoughtfully, pointed to the floor and said:
"Your subordinates betrayed?"
"I don't know if it counts as a betrayal..." Lehman replied with a frown.
He further explained:
"Every time I come to Primordial City, I will not be careless, I will definitely bring enough staff, and invite trusted Awakened bodyguards to ensure the safety of myself and the goods.
"This time too, um, it was normal for a while, but after moving to this apartment, something strange happened."
Lehman once again showed a look of fear:
"First Richardson looked at me strangely, like I was a prisoner and he wasn't a bodyguard, he was a jailer.
"He looked at me and didn't allow me to leave the room, saying it was all for my safety.
"I admit that he has a set of self-consistent logic, but considering the identity of the employer and bodyguard, everything seems so absurd."
"He's crazy." Shang Jianyao gave the "answer" sincerely.
"No, no." Lehman shook his head and said, "I took advantage of him to go to the bathroom and found Rondar. He is one of my subordinates and has known him for many years.
"When I told him that Richardson was abnormal, Rondahl said: 'Boss, Richardson is right, you should just stay in the room'."
When reciting Rondar's words, Lehman's face was full of fear, and it seemed that he would have nightmares because of it now.
His tone was suddenly excited:
"The other people have changed too, and they've all become strangers, trapping me here!
"I don't know what will happen next, so I have to find an opportunity to steal the radio transceiver and ask you for help."
Jiang Baimian listened quietly, and said in a soothing tone:
"I can understand your fear, this kind of strange thing is really easy to be afraid of.
"Don't panic, do you remember who Richardson was in contact with before he had a problem?"
Lehman had thought about this for a long time, shook his head and said:
"He hasn't been in contact with anyone except some pedestrians he met on the road."
Jiang Baimian nodded and said with a smile:
"Then let's talk to Rondar and the others."
While speaking, she glanced at Shang Jianyao.
The reason why he didn't look for Richardson first was because he was an Awakener, and Lehman didn't know much about his abilities and costs.
Rondar was one of the people who stopped Jiang Baimian and the others before. He was blond and blue-eyed, dressed in black, and looked quite sturdy.
"The transaction is complete." Shang Jianyao walked over with a smile, "We have established a friendly and cooperative relationship with Lehman; you are Lehman's henchmen; so..."
Both Rondahl and his companion suddenly realized, and said with a sincere smile:
"You don't need to see outsiders, is there anything we need to do?"
Shang Jianyao immediately asked:
"I heard that you don't let Leiman go out?"
"Yeah." Rondar's face was taken for granted. "It's so dangerous outside, how can the boss go out so easily?"
He didn't seem to think that there was anything wrong with doing so, and he still put himself in the position of Lehman's confidant.
Jiang Baimian frowned slightly after listening, thought for a while, and said to Shang Jianyao:
"How does it feel a bit like yours?"
She was referring to the abilities of the "reasoning clown".
"Really?" Shang Jianyao asked in anticipation.
At this moment, Rondar looked at the door of a room on the second floor, raised his hand with a smile, and said hello:
"Richardson, are you awake?"
