Chapter 573 The Eve of Action
It was one of Antonio's men. His eyes paused on the huge sailboat behind her for a moment, "The boss is back and wants you to come over."
"knew."
After the other party left, Tang Qi bent down and put the resin composite sheet back into the carton, placed it in an inconspicuous corner, went upstairs to change into casual and loose clothes, and took Xiaojiu to the restaurant in the main building.
Although she went to the restaurant in the main building to eat every day, she actually didn't meet Antonio very often.
On average, it was four or five times a month. The longest time she hadn't seen him was three whole months. At that time, there was a peak period of suicide among super-rich people in various countries.
She was 90% sure that this was a conspiracy planned by Antonio and the X government. She just couldn't understand why Antonio was so blatant.
Antonio is not short of money, or rather, he can choose a more secretive and safer way to make money.
Dark web, smuggling, arms, intelligence, and so on.
After much thought, the only possibility is that the government of Country X has something that can implicate him, forcing him to take the risk.
…
In the restaurant with a classical and luxurious style, there was a ten-meter-long retro dining table with half-person-high candlesticks on both sides and a huge bouquet of flowers in the middle. Servants were busy bringing delicious food to the table.
Antonio has changed his past cool attire and now wears a white shirt, dark suspenders and trousers. His hair is combed back meticulously, making him look mature and gentlemanly. The only thing that remains unchanged is that he still wears a scarf around his collar.
Seeing her attire, Antonio frowned slightly and said unhappily: "There will be guests coming later."
Tang Qi ignored him and sat down in her usual seat, picked up her knife and fork, lowered her head and started eating dinner.
Antonio stared at her with a gloomy face. Just as he was about to say something, a report from his men came over the intercom: "Boss, General Richie is here."
Antonio ignored Tang Qi and turned to go out to greet him.
Tang Qi cut a piece of steak and was about to put it in her mouth when Xiao Ba's excited voice suddenly rang in her mind: "Sister Qi, the energy stone! I sensed it, and it's coming towards us!!"
Tang Qi was stunned for several seconds, then continued to put the steak into his mouth as if nothing had happened.
"Energy Stone! Sister Qi, did you hear that?"
Tang Qi answered silently while eating: "I heard it."
"Then why are you still sitting here eating? Go grab some!"
Tang Qi shook the knife and fork in his hand and jokingly said, "What are you going to use to rob them? Use the knife and fork you use to cut steak to kill them?"
"Well……"
Seeing Tang Qi calmly eating, Xiao Ba asked in frustration: "Sister Qi, why aren't you in a hurry at all? Don't you want to save your husband?"
"There's no point in being anxious now. I'll think of a solution after I'm full. Even if I really want to rob, I need to have enough physical strength to support it."
Xiao Ba suddenly realized, "Right, right, right, then you should eat quickly, eat more, and it's best to eat all the food on the table so that they have nothing to eat!"
Tang Qi thought it made sense, so he stood up, picked up the whole plate of steak, and put it under the table, "Xiao Jiu, eat quickly!"
Xiaojiu immediately started eating voraciously, wagging his tail.
One man and one dog, their fighting power is amazing.
When Antonio led the guests into the restaurant, almost half of the food on the table was gone. He stared at Tang Qi with a grim expression.
Tang Qi put down her knife and fork gracefully, picked up her napkin and wiped the corners of her mouth like a lady, then nodded to Antonio and the three strange men around him.
"I'm done eating, enjoy your meal, bye."
After saying that, she stood up, burped loudly, and left the restaurant leisurely.
"who is she?"
"The girl who is going to be my woman."
"No wonder, she is very beautiful and has a unique personality. You have good taste."
"Thank you for the compliment."
Hearing the conversation coming from the restaurant, Tang Qi was so disgusted that he almost vomited two pieces of steak.
After leaving the main building, Tang Qi did not return to his residence immediately. Instead, he pretended to take a walk around the lawn of the castle, silently asking Xiao Ba: "How is it, did you sense where the thing is?"
"On that tall, skinny man with blond hair."
It seems that I have found the answer to the problem that I couldn't figure out before.
These three men are obviously from Country X. They have energy stones on them, so the series of suicides of super-rich people are actually a deal between Antonio and Country X.
Antonio needed energy stones, and the government of Country X needed sufficient funds to make up for the consumption of the civil war a few years ago. The two sides hit it off.
Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)
After figuring out the solution, Tang Qi returned to his residence.
A sleepless night.
The next day, Tang Qi did not go to the basement of the exhibition hall on the other side of the river to work as usual. After calling the staff of the exhibition hall to tell them what needed to be done in the next few days, she began to tinker with the sailboat.
At noon, Antonio came back from outside, saw her eating in the restaurant, and walked up to her.
"Did you do this on purpose last night? To embarrass me in front of the guests and ruin my plans?"
Tang Qi calmly put down her knife and fork, wiped the corners of her mouth with her napkin, and looked up at him, "So, next time you have important guests, don't ask me to accompany you, otherwise, don't blame me for ruining your good thing."
Antonio stared at her sinisterly and suddenly asked, "Why didn't you go to work today?"
Tang Qi replied calmly without changing his expression: "It is my freedom to work or not. You are not my boss."
Antonio didn't say anything else. After looking at her deeply for a moment, he turned around and strode out of the restaurant.
"Sister Qi, why do I feel like he seems to be suspicious of you?"
Tang Qi continued to eat lunch and communicated with Xiao Ba silently: "Maybe, but he is not sure because he has no evidence, and he is suspicious and sensitive by nature. He knows this better than anyone else."
Xiao Ba was a little uneasy. "Will he use this energy stone to test you on purpose? It's over. I have a bad feeling."
"No matter whether it is or not, I must get this energy stone. Xiao Ba, with your current ability, how much energy source can you absorb?"
"If I can take the energy stone with me, I can absorb it in three times. If I can't take it with me, I can only absorb 50%, which is only enough to open the treatment cabin for simple trauma treatment. To wake up your husband, I need to absorb at least 70% of the energy."
Tang Qi didn't say anything else. She finished her lunch quietly. After returning to her residence, she said with determination: "Xiao Ba, I plan to take action tomorrow night."
"So urgent?" Xiao Ba said anxiously, "We are not ready yet. Even if we can break through the heavy defense and get the energy stone, how can we leave here? Otherwise, we have to wait another half a month to at least gather all the parts for the plane."
"If I wait one more day, my chance will be reduced by 10%. I have waited for two years and finally got this energy stone. No matter if it is a trap or not, I will try my best!"
Seeing that Tang Qi was determined to get the energy stone, Xiao Ba stopped trying to persuade him.
It took an entire afternoon to make a plan. At night, the huge castle was like a sleeping beast. The long-range lights from the observation tower would shine on the annex where Tang Qi lived every minute.
She took advantage of the short one-minute break to move the scattered parts removed from the sailboat one by one to an open space on the cliff behind the castle.
She repeated this process twenty or thirty times throughout the night and finally finished before dawn.
There is one more update, probably after 12 o'clock
