At this moment, a deep and magnetic voice suddenly came from the side: "Garcia, you old man, who are you fooling again?"
Fu Yunzhi and Garcia turned their heads at the same time and saw a tall man in a black windbreaker walking slowly towards them.
The man had short silver hair, deep and angular features, and a pair of dark blue eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything.
He is Helan Qiao, the most famous intelligence dealer in the interstellar space. He is an orc in the form of a silver fox and one of the most mysterious figures in the black market.
Helan Qiao's appearance made Garcia's face even uglier. He stammered, "Mr. Helan, why are you here?"
Helan Qiao ignored him and walked straight to Fu Yunzhi, looking at her with interest.
"Miss, you seem to be in some trouble." Helan Qiao smiled slightly, with a hint of playfulness in his tone.
Fu Yunzhi's heart trembled. This guy is like a beast in appearance. He can always smell the secrets of others.
"It has nothing to do with you." Fu Yunzhi responded briefly. She didn't want to have any interaction with this man for the time being. After all, in the current complicated situation, less is worse than more.
"Really? I don't think so," Helan Qiao said to himself and walked in front of Fu Yunzhi.
Helan Qiao's pair of dark blue eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, which made Fu Yunzhi feel a little uneasy.
Could this guy have figured something out?
No, we have to send him away quickly!
"This is... Mr. Helan, right?" Fu Yunzhi deliberately emphasized the word "Mr.", with a hint of alienation in his tone, "I have something else to do, so I won't accompany you anymore."
Having said that, she turned and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute." Helan Qiao spoke slowly, "Miss, don't you want to know who is spreading rumors about you behind your back?"
Fu Yunzhi paused, his heart skipping a beat. This guy really knew something!
She turned around, her face still with that cold expression: "Oh? You know?"
Helan Qiao smiled slightly, revealing a row of neat white teeth, which looked particularly creepy under the dim light.
"Of course." He said slowly, "In this black market, there is nothing that I, Helan Qiao, don't know."
Fu Yunzhi cursed inwardly: Why are you pretending to be so high and mighty!
However, she remained expressionless and said calmly, "Then tell me."
Helan Qiao was not in a hurry. He walked to the stall next to him, picked up a black stone, weighed it in his hand, and then threw it into his mouth! He ate while walking, and Fu Yunzhi followed. The two of them came to a corner that was not very noticeable.

Fu Yunzhi:......
What's this? Eating rocks? Is this guy starving?
She resisted the urge to complain and watched Helan Qiao chew the stone like candy beans, until it became crunchy, and then swallowed it!
"It tastes good." Helan Qiao smacked his lips, looking unsatisfied. "This is obsidian, a specialty of Shadow Star. It's rich in various minerals and good for the body."
Fu Yunzhi: ...I don’t believe you at all!
"Ahem..." Helan Qiao seemed to realize that his behavior was a bit... uh... unusual. He coughed twice and changed the subject, "Let's get back to the point. I do know a few things about you."
"Get to the point." Fu Yunzhi didn't want to beat around the bush with him.
Helan Qiao wasn't angry either. He smiled and said, "Recently, some high-ranking officials in the Interstellar Empire's military seem very dissatisfied with you. The high-ranking officials in the Imperial Alliance are also somewhat dissatisfied with some of your actions."
Fu Yunzhi's heart tightened. Sure enough, things weren't that simple! Tsk, who did the original owner offend?
"Oh? Really?" She said calmly, "How come I didn't know?"
Helan Qiao shrugged: "Of course you don't know, because they are doing it in secret."
"Playing tricks in secret?" Fu Yunzhi sneered, "I'm upright and honest, what do I have to be afraid of?"
"That's true," Helan Qiao said meaningfully, "but three people can make a tiger, and gossip can melt gold. Even if you're innocent, you can't withstand the erosion of those rumors."
Fu Yunzhi fell silent.
She knew that Helan Qiao was right.
In this era of information explosion, rumors spread faster than the speed of light.
Once you are labeled negatively, it is extremely difficult to clear your name.
"So?" Fu Yunzhi looked at Helan Qiao, "What exactly do you want to say?"
Helan Qiao smiled slightly: "I want to say... I can help you."
"Help me?" Fu Yunzhi raised an eyebrow. "What are your conditions?"
"The conditions are simple." Helan Qiao held up a finger. "I'll help you find out the truth. You owe me a favor."
Fu Yunzhi sneered in his heart, this guy really won’t do anything without a profit!
However, she does need help now.
"Okay." She agreed promptly. "Deal."
Helan Qiao's smile deepened: "It's a pleasure to work with you."
Fu Yunzhi didn't want to exchange pleasantries with him. She asked directly, "What did you find out?"
Helan Qiao didn't keep the secret and said directly, "According to my investigation, the recent negative news about you all came from an underground forum called 'Tianta'."
"Tianta?" Fu Yunzhi frowned. This was the first time she heard of this name.
"That's right," Helan Qiao explained. "The Sky Tower is a very secret underground forum, accessible only through special channels. It's filled with all sorts of shady transactions, including the buying and selling of intelligence."
