Tang Xiu's eyes flashed with wisdom, and he said again: "Second-hand preparation, send someone to trace the source of the other party's phone call, and be sure to find his location. I will ask other people to help trace it later, but as long as the other party is in the mainland, I will I hope our people find it first."
"yes!"
After Hao Lei replied concisely, she hung up the phone directly.
Tang Xiu was sitting at the dining table. Although his expression was calm, murderous intent surged in his heart. He doesn't like being coerced, let alone being played around with. The other party was too greedy, and he had secretly decided that as long as he found the other party, he would definitely make the other party regret it.
"Because of the zodiac jade carving?"
Mu Wanying put down her chopsticks gently and asked curiously.
Tang Xiu nodded and said: "Yes, we already have the whereabouts of the Jade Rat, but the other party is too greedy and raises the price, which has exceeded my bottom line."
Mu Wanying nodded silently. She knew that Tang Xiu was an easy person to talk to. If the other party was not so excessive, he would never be so angry.
Beijing.
The city made of reinforced concrete is a prosperous scene. A residential area located outside the South Fifth Ring Road is very special. The entire community is heavily guarded, four patrol teams patrol around the clock, and various monitoring equipment weaves the entire community into a three-dimensional network, monitoring every corner of the community.
Community center.
Surrounded by a nearly three-meter-high wall, there was only a seemingly ordinary three-story building inside. To outsiders, this small building is a real estate office area, but to the families of superpowers from the Superpower Bureau, it is full of mystery. Only those with super powers can enter it.
Four underground floors.
Shui Ying held a satellite phone and kept wandering outside the door of a training room. She had just pressed the doorbell, but there was still no answer. Duanmu Lin, who was training inside, didn't even come out.
"Shuiying, what are you doing?"
The electric girl strolled over slowly with a cup of tea. However, her face was a little pale, and her black training clothes were soaked. The wet clothes stuck to her body, which showed her hot figure to the fullest.
Shui Ying smiled bitterly and said, "Tang Xiu called and asked the director about something. But I just rang the doorbell and didn't get any reply."
The electric girl smiled and said: "Have you forgotten that our director likes to wear a headset during training? If you want him to know that you are looking for him, you have to ring the doorbell non-stop. Every ten minutes, the director will take it off. Once for the headset.”
Shui Ying was stunned and nodded quickly.
finally.
The heavy metal door slowly opened. Duanmulin, who was sweating profusely, wiped his wet hair with a white towel and asked, "What's the matter?"
Shui Ying hurriedly handed over the satellite phone and said, "Director, Tang Xiu called you and said that he wanted your help with something important."
Tang Xiu
Duan Mulin grabbed the phone, found the number on it, called back and waited for a few seconds before the call was connected. Said: "Tang Xiu, are you looking for me?"
"Senior Duanmu, I have something to ask you for help."
"you say!"
"Well, here's the thing..."
As the conversation continued, Duanmulin's expression showed a strange look, and he said: "It turns out that the big boss behind Dafu Jewelry is also you, and it turns out that you are also the author of the billion-dollar treasure hunt that caused a lot of commotion recently. However, I really want to know, that What exactly is the zodiac jade carving? Is it worth your trouble to find it?"
Tang Xiu said: "The zodiac jade sculpture has no use for ordinary people. Even for you superpowers, it has no use at all. But for me, it is of great help. You should have heard of some As for the things about cultivators, the further we as cultivators go, the more difficult it becomes. It is really difficult to break through to a certain level. Therefore, I need the zodiac jade sculpture to be used by me, to understand the mystery inside, and strive to break through as soon as possible. Higher level.”
Duanmulin suddenly realized, nodded and said: "I have indeed heard of it. Okay, I promise you, I will contact the head of the national intelligence department immediately. As long as the other party is in our country, I believe that he will be found soon. But if the other party is really When abroad, I need to ask my superiors for instructions. If I can get approval, I can activate the Skynet foreign intelligence system."
"Thank you, Senior Duanmu. I'm waiting for your news."
Tang Xiu thanked him and hung up the phone directly.
Duan Mulin threw the satellite phone to Shui Ying and quickly issued a series of orders.
Australia Island.
Conrad Hotel, on the 24th floor of the presidential suite, in one of the luxurious suites, five old men in black robes, exuding a sinister aura, sat cross-legged in a circle. Among them, there is a small round table with a diameter of one meter. It is red and has a lifelike jade rat carved on it. The inside looks like flaming lava surging, exuding a blurry brilliance.
Not far away, on the sofa against the wall, a young man with white dyed shawl hair and a lazy expression was holding a crystal glass in his hand, shaking the scarlet red wine inside. There were ten mobile phones on the coffee table in front of him. The batteries in two of the mobile phones had been removed and the mobile phone sim cards had also been taken out.
"Master, will the other party give us a billion dollars?"
A petite woman with a beautiful face, about twenty-six or seventeen years old, stood next to the white-haired young man neatly dressed, with a thoughtful look in her eyes, and asked softly.
The white-haired young man sneered: "The zodiac statue contains huge energy. I originally thought there was only one in the world, but I didn't expect there to be twelve. The boss behind Dafu Jewelry may have also discovered the inside of the zodiac jade sculpture. That’s why he put so much effort into the search. Although I can’t guess why he insisted on finding a complete set of zodiac jade carvings, I think it will definitely be of great use.”
The petite woman said softly: "They couldn't find them all. Now they have tried so hard to find them, but they are just for us. What are you going to do next? Go to Shanghai now and seize the six jade sculptures they got?"
The white-haired young man hooked his fingers, and the petite woman immediately walked up to him obediently, sat down beside his legs, and put her little head on the white-haired young man's legs. The white-haired young man stroked her long, silky hair, but his eyes were particularly cold: "Now? Don't be in a hurry. They only got six jade carvings now. I need to wait for them to find more jade carvings before I take action."
The petite woman asked: "Then I don't understand why you want to ask the other party for money? We shouldn't be short of money now, right?"
The white-haired young man smiled and said: "We are short of money. Who said we are not short of money now? In order to equip that mercenary group, I spent all my money. If I can really get one billion US dollars, we can temporarily solve it. We have a problem with funding. We can even get the two water-proof missiles."
"Ring ring ring..."
Suddenly, one of the mobile phones rang.
The white-haired young man grabbed the mobile phone and looked at the number displayed on it. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He answered the call and said with a smile: "What? General Manager Hao has made a decision?"
"One billion US dollars, give us some time to prepare. However, now I seriously doubt that you have no sincerity in cooperating." Hao Lei's angry voice came from the mobile phone.
The white-haired young man sneered: "Not sincere? Whether I am sincere or not is none of your business? I have the jade rat you want in my hand, so you must obey me. Otherwise, I will just put the jade rat away and disappear. I’m afraid you will never be able to collect the twelve zodiac jade carvings in your lifetime. Three days, I only give you three days. If I don’t see the money within three days, just pretend that I have never contacted you!”
"Wait a moment!"
Hao Lei shouted: "We Dafu Jewelry are rich, but some time ago we spent a lot of money to buy two large jade raw materials, and now we don't have that much money at all. The three days you gave us are too short, I need to think It takes time to find a way to raise money.”
The white-haired young man was silent for a moment and said categorically: "Five days, I will give you two more days. Don't bargain with me anymore. If you don't transfer the deposit to my account within five days, there will be no need for us to continue." The deal was made.”
"good!"
Hao Lei agreed, and then said: "However, I don't trust your words. So I want to see if the Jade Rat is the one we need."
The white-haired young man sneered and said: "Don't worry! Since I want to make this money, I will naturally fulfill some of your wishes. In this way, you wait for me for ten minutes, and in ten minutes we will make an online video and I will let you see the Jade Rat."
"It's a deal."
After Hao Lei finished speaking, she hung up the phone directly.
time flies.
Two days have passed in the blink of an eye. Tang Xiu, who is in Shanghai, has no news about the Jade Rat, but there is still no news about the other five zodiac jade carvings.
For the jade carving.
Tang Xiu gave up his plan to rush to Longquan Bay in Kanas immediately and quietly waited for the news. In the past two days, he had turned down many people's banquets, and even turned down many unimportant things. Except when Hao Lei was not with him, he would put his phone away. At other times, he would scan it from time to time, hoping You can get the information you want to know as soon as possible.
"Ring ring ring..."
Just when Tang Xiu was impatiently waiting, he received a call from Duan Mulin. After being connected, he hurriedly asked: "Senior Duanmu, how is your investigation going?"
Duanmulin said: "Ao Island, Conrad Hotel. Other information has not been investigated yet, but I believe it will not be far away."
Australia Island
Tang Xiu stood up suddenly, quickly put on his coat and hurried outside. Now that he has found the other party's hiding place, he needs to go there in person. Other things are not important now. What is important is the zodiac sign Jade Rat.
"Awu, are there any of our people on Ao Island?"
After leaving the Xinglan Villa area, Tang Xiu asked.
Mo Awu said: "I don't know this, I need to ask the little boss."
