Gu Beichen had learned a little bit of the skill of forbearance, but when it came to hiding his facial expressions... he was still not very skilled.
Especially after staring at Xu Le's mimicry portrait for a long time, Wang Qing on the side had already noticed something was wrong.
"What's wrong? Does Mr. Gu Beichen know this person?"
Although Gu Beichen often had the idea of stabbing Xu Le to death, they were brothers for life and death after all, so he naturally couldn't betray his brother at this time. He subconsciously said:
"No, I don't know him. I just think he deserves a beating. What? Does he owe you a lot of money?"
Wang Qing's expression was also very strange. Did Gu Beichen and Xiong Nuoan really know each other
If they really know each other, that would be a good channel.
Originally, he wanted to get information about Xu Le from Gan, but Gan was too stubborn and he couldn't get him to talk.
So he could only look for Xu Le from clues, such as the mask worn by Xiong Nuoan, which confirmed that he should be in Zion.
Wang Qing knew that Xiong Nuoan was definitely a very important person, and also a problematic person.
Because it is absolutely impossible for 8 people to appear in the Land of Destiny.
"No, I met this Mr. Xiong once before, and we hit it off right away, but we didn't leave any stable contact information at the time, so I wanted to ask the masters of the Red Moon Temple to help find him."
Wang Qing said this politely, because he felt that Gu Beichen's behavior just now was very obvious. He might really have some connection with Xu Le. This was the judgment of a smart person.
However, Gu Beichen's thought process is different from that of normal people.
"How could this person hit it off with a guy like Xu Le right away? Tsk tsk, what kind of taste is that? Stay away from him."
Rona on the side looked at Gu Beichen, and then at Wang Qing. The person in front of them was not the client of the task, so it was a bit strange that they were assigned here, but since they had been told, they would just do it.
"Got it. We will try our best to find this Xiong Nuoan next. Please rest assured, Mr. Wang Qing."
"Thank you very much."
"Mr. Wang Qing, do you have any clues about this Xiong Nuoan?"
"That's not true, but what is certain is that this person's mask, suit, and shoes were all purchased near the Zion Progressive Building."
Although Xu Le is quite rigorous in his work, if he really looks carefully and has enough energy, he will still be able to find some clues.
For example, Wang Qing is a person who has this ability and patience.
He doesn't have many people, but he has a lot of money.
As long as he is willing to spend money, there will always be someone to help him.
"Okay, we understand. In this case, let's get started."
"Do you two need any help? If you have any other requests, please let me know."
"there is none left."
Wang Qing watched Luo Na and Gu Beichen leave.
On the way, Luo Na looked at Gu Beichen:
"You know this Xiong Nuoan, right?"
"Um, why do you say that?" Gu Beichen was a little surprised. Was his expression that obvious
"You just showed envy, jealousy and resentment. What kind of person can make you show such emotions? He stole your girlfriend?"
Rona's words made Gu Beichen's face turn purple in an instant:
"How could I, the great genius Gu Beichen, be jealous of something like him? It's impossible."
Rona nodded and said:
"You really do know him!"
"… "
Gu Beichen's mouth twitched. Can't people be a little more sincere to each other? Why are people playing this kind of trick? It started when he was with Bai Jing. It made him so tired!
"Where should we go now?" Although he guessed that Xiong Nuoan was Xu Le, Gu Beichen currently did not know where Xu Le was.
After all, we still have to look for him, and there is a high probability that Mr. Gan is with Xu Le.
When we find Xu Le, we can go find Xiaoshu. Well, that’s what we should do.
"Let's go to the Zion Progressive Building," said Rona.
"good."
The two followed the map to the Zion Progressive Building. As members of the Owl, they were naturally qualified to visit the Zion Progressive Building directly.
After receiving their tourist ID, Luo Na and Gu Beichen came to the information desk in the building:
"Hello, I would like to ask if there is a clerk named Xiong Nuoan. We would like to find him to learn some information."
"No, there is no such person."
The receptionist politely denied Xiong Nuoan's existence, and Rona didn't care much about it.
If this person was really that easy to find, Wang Qing should have found him long ago given his financial resources, and there would be no need to entrust them to handle this matter.
"Thanks."
After leaving the front desk, Gu Beichen followed Roman to a corner of the hall. Rona took out the Gu Yinduo card directly from her pocket and prepared to tell fortunes.
But at this time Gu Beichen stopped her.
"Ah, alas? You don't even know the other party's identity, but you're ready to do divination. If the other party is a sorcerer and has prepared counter-divination methods, then aren't you walking into a trap?"
It is well known that fortune-telling for a warlock is indeed very risky. In addition, the other party is very likely Xu Le, so Rona should be stopped.
After all, Rona is a colleague and there is no grudge between us. There is no need to put her at risk.
Rona did not take back the card, but just looked at Gu Beichen calmly and said:
"You've been here for quite some time, but you're unwilling to reveal any information about that person. Since we've accepted the mission, we should take it seriously, so divination is the fastest way to find him."
Gu Beichen also knew that what Luo Na said made sense. He hesitated for a moment before speaking:
"Well, I'll do it then."
Rona made a gesture of invitation and did not interfere with Gu Beichen, allowing Gu Beichen to walk back to the front desk alone.
"I would like to ask, is there a clerk named Xu Le here?"
"Xu Le?" When the receptionist heard the name, she was obviously surprised.
Then she looked through the information and dialed a phone number.
"Yes, yes, there are two people from the Red Moon Temple here, claiming to be members of the Owl, looking for Mr. Xu Le. Yes, they have IDs and I have seen them. No problem. OK, OK, goodbye."
Gu Beichen listened to the receptionist's conversation. After she hung up, he asked with a smile:
"Did you find it?"
"Yes, I found it, but you may have to wait a moment."
"No problem." Gu Beichen said with a smile, and then he turned around and snapped his fingers to Rona, indicating that he had done it.
But Gu Beichen didn't notice that the eyes of the receptionist in front of him gradually became playful.
Gu Beichen returned to Rona and tilted his head:
"Found it, but we may have to wait a little longer."
"So you really know him." Rona said.
"Yes, he is my former colleague, but we don't have a very good relationship. If it weren't for the mission, I wouldn't bother with this guy."
Gu Beichen was still being stubborn, but Luo Na saw a hint of smile at the corner of his mouth.
Gu Beichen, this proud and silly guy, rarely smiles on weekdays.
About ten minutes later, Rona, who was sitting on the sofa in the hall, suddenly felt something was wrong.
In fact, she had sensed something was wrong just now, but the feeling was not so obvious, and it was not until now that she was sure.
There are fewer people in the Hall of Progressors!
A lot less.
Ever since Gu Beichen contacted Xiong Nuoan, no new people have entered the Zion Progressors Hall.
The people who originally stayed in the hall also left one after another.
This is obviously abnormal. Something has happened here, and it is very likely directed at them.
"Gu Beichen, get up."
"Ah? What? Aren't we waiting for someone here?"
Gu Beichen has not yet realized the seriousness of the problem, and now he has an identity as a member of the Red Moon Temple. Even if he is just a peripheral member of the external organization Xiao, he is still a real member of the Red Moon Temple!
Could it be possible that Zion would not give face to the Red Moon Temple
Does this small airship city no longer want to survive
Just as Gu Beichen sat up, Secretary Liu, with a team of law enforcers and three warlocks, looked at Gu Beichen and Rona from the second floor of the Zion Progressive Building.
The law enforcement officer at the side asked at this time:
"Secretary Liu, the other party is from the Red Moon Temple."
"I know."
Secretary Liu nodded. Of course he knew that the other party was from the Red Moon Temple. Not only did he know it, but Li Wen also knew it.
Anyone who lives in Zion and has a bit of common sense knows that the people of the Red Moon Temple are troublesome. This city, known as the light of mankind, not only sends spies to other city-states, but also often interferes in the internal affairs of other city-states.
This is something that the other three city-states cannot allow. In fact, they have fought overtly and covertly countless times.
It's just because of the dark rules that everyone has to unite.
But all these things have a prerequisite, you should not cause trouble, especially things that touch core secrets.
What is Xule now
Well, maybe in the eyes of others Xu Le is nothing.
But in Li Wen's eyes, Xu Le is the planner of Zion's future blueprint, the creator of the core of the melting pot, the project initiator, and the leader of the new era.
Although he doesn't know anything, everyone who works at Zion Progressors understands one thing.
To create something that changes the landscape, you need 99% effort and 1% inspiration. Zion has already completed the 99% effort, and Xu Le is the one who brings that 1% inspiration.
Now the people from the Red Moon Temple actually came over to look for Xu Le.
What do you want to do
Li Wen's first reaction was that the Furnace Plan had been leaked. This matter was of great importance and was likely interfered with by the Red Moon Temple.
These two people from the Red Moon Temple must die.
But after a little observation, they felt that they were not similar.
If the Red Moon Temple really discovered the Furnace Project, it would be unlikely for them to send two peripheral members of the Owl to deal with the matter. This would be a bit too contemptuous.
So, what Li Wen meant was to wait and see and deal with the situation flexibly.
"I'll go and take a look myself." Secretary Liu said to the others.
"yes."
Below, no matter how slow Gu Beichen was, he had already realized that something was wrong.
Especially when a team of law enforcement officers armed with live ammunition appeared in the hall, he felt that these people seemed to be really going to take action against them. Was there some misunderstanding
"You..." Gu Beichen was about to speak when he was stopped by Rona in front of him.
Rona stopped in front of him and whispered:
"If a fight breaks out, find a way to escape. I'll cover you."
Gu Beichen was stunned. His first reaction was that he couldn't let a woman cover for him, but after hesitating for a few seconds, he seemed unable to say such words anymore.
"What about you? What will you do?"
"I can find a way to leave by myself, don't worry about it."
At this time, Secretary Liu had already led his people down. He pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, stared at Gu Beichen and Roman for a while, and then asked:
"Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to Zion, and welcome to the Zion Progressives."
Rona looked a little confused. Was this person trying to test their attitude
"What do you mean?" Rona did not emphasize that she was from the Red Moon Temple. There was no need to do so at this time.
"It's nothing, it's just that Mr. Xu Le was attacked during the last mission. He is one of our important researchers, so we can only provide some strict protection for him.
Could you please explain your purpose, for example, why are you looking for Mr. Xu Le?"
Secretary Liu was always very polite, but Roman still felt a lot of pressure.
When she looked into the eyes of Secretary Liu, she felt as if her heart had been seen through by the other party. Was it the ability of a sorcerer
Rona frowned slightly. Exposing the content of her mission was almost equivalent to mission failure.
Xiao would not allow this. After all, this was the first mission she and Gu Beichen were to carry out. If the mission failed like this...
While Rona was still struggling with the task, Gu Beichen beside her finally stopped pretending to be dead.
He pulled Rona over and behind him, and said arrogantly:
"Do you know where we are from? We are from the Red Moon Temple?"
Hearing Gu Beichen say this, Rona covered her forehead. How come this guy hasn't made any progress at all
But then, Gu Beichen continued:
"Do you think we want to come to this crappy place called Airship City? If you Zion people hadn't spent a lot of money to invite us here, we would be idiots to come here."
Rona was obviously stunned. By saying this, didn’t Gu Beichen mean that he had exposed the content of the mission
"Gu Beichen." Rona shouted.
"Shut up!" Gu Beichen suddenly became stern.
Didn't he know that this would expose the mission? Of course he knew, but he also knew that he couldn't die here, especially not in such an unclear way, and Roman couldn't die here either.
As for what fight escape
Please, is it possible? There are more than ten or twenty strong men on the other side, and the distance is so close, and it is a closed environment.
Even if Gu Beichen felt that he was a one-in-a-million genius, it was impossible for him to escape, so it was better not to seek death.
In fact, when Roman was analyzing the matter, Gu Beichen was also analyzing it.
Why were they targeted? Gu Beichen knew very well that it was not Xiong Nuoan, but Xu Le.
It was he who was looking for Xu Le. The front desk clerk broadcast a message, and these people came here.
In other words, these people came because of Xu Le.
Are they protecting Xu Le
That’s easy, I’m Xu Le’s good brother!
