Chapter 332: Seven Deadly Sins, a Gathering of Storms
Runde Building has a total of 46 floors and is 210 meters high. The ground floor is brightly lit and bustling with people. The neon lights of shops and banks flicker in the night, while the upper floors are lurking in the shadows like a silent beast.
The security service of the entire building is contracted by the Millennium Labor Export Company. Nearly a hundred security guards are scattered throughout the building, with muscular bodies wrapped in straight uniforms, eyes like knives, and powerful steps. Once they are pulled to the entrance of the community, no delivery boy will be able to escape.
They are all strong men. According to the standards of martial arts schools, each of them can knock down three or five strong men with his bare hands.
Even if Kassel College wanted to storm Runde Building, it would have to make a series of arrangements.
But Lu Mingfei and Lao Tang don’t need to.
The two of them looked harmless. One had a low presence and looked like a high school student, while the other had a naturally funny look with his shaggy eyebrows and was not strong either. The security guards who encountered them were too lazy to take a second look at them.
Even a skinny guy like this would have to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy after one punch.
"They look quite fierce." Old Tang glanced in the direction of the security passage, where two security guards were hiding and smoking, bragging in their spare time.
He was talking about how much kickbacks he got for standing up for someone, how he got a big red envelope for debt collection, and even had his feet washed. He gave people the impression that he was a gangster in disguise of a security guard.
The truth is not much different. On the surface, the Millennium Labor Export Company is a security company, but secretly they take on all kinds of business as long as they are paid.
"Vicious? That's right." Lu Mingfei smiled.
As the saying goes, if the top beam is crooked, the bottom beams will be crooked too. Company bosses are all grave robbers, so how can the people under them be any better?
"I just asked Potato Chips to help check. This guy named Tang Wei had illegally smuggled a lot of antiques before, and he also laundered all the illegal gains into visible funds. Guess how much he is worth now?"
"Ten million?" Old Tang thought it was a bit conservative, and added that the unit should be changed to US dollars.
"Almost. He transferred all the money to his biological father's name. The amount converted into RMB is over 100 million." The elevator door opened, Lu Mingfei walked in and pressed the button for the 21st floor.
"Rich people." Old Tang was quite envious. They were all hunters, but they were the ones who could start a company and make a lot of money.
"They are all illegally gained. They are different from you. You are just helping them and are considered an accomplice. They are the main culprits." Lu Mingfei glanced at him.
"So what are you going to do, thieves robbing each other?"
"This is a society ruled by law, of course..." Lu Mingfei was about to answer when the elevator suddenly stopped on the 13th floor and two burly men in security uniforms walked in.
They looked at the fierce and evil-looking men and were not easy to deal with. After seeing that the floor they were going to had been lighted up, they all stared at the two pretty boys:
"Do you have business with Qianxi?"
He was looking at Old Tang. Lu Mingfei's face was too young, and he was wearing the Word Spirit and Ghost mask to reduce his presence. The first impression he gave was that his hair had not even grown out yet.
"Yes, if you have business, please contact your boss."
"Do you have an appointment?" When the security guard heard that it was his boss, he immediately perked up, his right arm hanging naturally, close to the baton.
Millennium Labor Service Company has a wide range of business, but it does not accept all business, let alone directly connecting with the boss.
Although I don’t think these two pretty boys can cause any waves, it’s always better to be vigilant.
If they just want to have fun and find excitement, don't blame them for swearing their loyalty with six sticks in one second.
“No.” This time it was Lu Mingfei who spoke. He looked at the security guard who was half a head taller than him. His dark pupils were like the muzzle of a gun. Under his calmness, he was suppressing the pressure of a tsunami of 10,000 tons: “But he will want to see us.”
Not willing, nor agreeing, but wanting?
The two security guards' backs were suddenly soaked with cold sweat, as if they were suffocated by a wild beast, unable to move. They immediately realized that these two people were fierce dragons from across the river, and the boss had specifically warned them not to provoke them.
Faced with a big customer whom he could not afford to offend, he did not dare to be negligent and showed a humble smile that could stop a child from crying.
On the 21st floor, the two men led Lao Tang and Lu Mingfei into the company. As soon as they entered the door, they were hit by the smell of cigarettes and sweat. A dozen strong men gathered there discussing something, and they were surprised to see guests visiting.
Upon learning the purpose of the two people's visit, the security manager said he would ask the boss for instructions and brought them a registration form for them to fill out first.
This is a superficial procedure, and also a test to see whether the two are qualified to meet the boss directly.
But Lu Mingfei didn't come here to obey the law and follow the rules and regulations. He was too lazy to even take the form. He just spit out an ID, which made the foreman's attitude change drastically.
"Please come this way." He led the two to the boss' office and wanted to explain the situation to Tang Wei first, but his body was out of control. After opening the door, he froze in place. He watched the two distinguished guests enter and his body automatically closed the door, isolating everything inside.
"Who let you in... Who are you?" Tang Wei was thinking about how to carry out his plan to make a fortune, but unexpectedly the office door was suddenly pushed open. He was about to curse when he saw two unfamiliar faces. He felt a little confused.
"Third Young Master, right? I have something to ask you." Lu Mingfei walked straight up to him and looked down at him.
"No, what the hell are those things of yours? Who gave them to you..." Tang Wei has been causing trouble for many years and considers himself a big shot in the underworld. Naturally, he got angry when he was questioned so rudely by a little brat who hasn't even grown all his hair.
Especially when he saw that the crossbow in his collection was taken away by Old Tang, his face became even uglier.
He wanted to stand up and use his impressive height to force the other party to recognize whose territory this was. As long as he gave the order, nearly a hundred security guards in the entire building would surround the 21st floor, and no one would know even if they died here.
But the moment he met Lu Mingfei's eyes, his legs suddenly began to spasm uncontrollably. He had no strength to exert and was unable to stand up.
This reaction was very similar to when I was on a mission and those evil and dirty creatures saw my unusual eyes.
But those were golden pupils that he had to try his best to activate, and the eyes of the young man in front of him were as deep as black holes, giving him a sense of oppression that was even more terrifying than the first time he encountered dirty things in the tomb.
Tang Wei was horrified and reached out to grab the black gun hidden in the drawer, but just as he moved, the sharp sound of a crossbow arrow breaking through the air exploded in his ears.
The steel arrowhead pierced through the two-centimeter-thick solid wood table top, nailing the pistol in the secret compartment and the drawer together. Tang Wei's fingertips were only three centimeters away from the drawer, but he dared not move an inch.
“You call yourself the Third Young Master, you should know that things never happen more than three times.” Lu Mingfei looked at him, indicating that he did not have enough patience.
Cold sweat soaked Tang Wei's back. He slowly raised his hands and forced a smile that was uglier than crying: "If you ask, I will definitely cooperate."
"Have you accepted a mission to find ancient knives?" It was a question, but the tone was very certain.
"Yes." Tang Wei nodded, carefully turned on the computer, and showed him the interface of his hunter website.
Lu Mingfei took a quick look and found that the reward was for a set of knives called the Seven Deadly Sins. The search area was in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River. "Aren't the Seven Deadly Sins something from the West? How come they are in China?"
"I don't know about this either." Tang Wei felt weak in the waist. "Maybe it was resold from a foreign country, and now they want to take it back."
"Seven deadly sins?" Old Tang, who was playing with the crossbow over there, frowned when he heard this, and felt vaguely that he had something to do with it.
I exchanged a look with Lu Mingfei. Good, it can be confirmed that it is related to him.
"How many bounty hunters have taken on this mission?"
"Well, I don't know either..." Tang Wei looked bitter. Although he had a wide network of contacts, he was not that powerful. Especially now that many people were eyeing this set of knives, all the hunter friends he knew were competitors at this moment.
"What use do I have for you?" Lu Mingfei glanced at him and tapped the table with his hand: "How many antiques have you resold over the years?"
Tang Wei's throat tightened when he heard this, and he pointed to the lamp and swore that his business was limited to the country, and that he would dig up other people's graves if he went abroad. If the treasures that had passed through his hands were lost abroad, they would definitely have changed hands several times and it had nothing to do with him.
"You know what you're doing is illegal, right?"
"Know."
"That's knowingly breaking the law."
Those four words fell like a guillotine. Tang Wei's spine bent inch by inch, cold sweat trickled down his temples, and he nodded with difficulty: "...Yes."
At this moment, he had begun to suspect that the two people in front of him were not hunters, but the legendary Dragon Group or some special police.
"Huh? You went to college, and you still have a father." Lu Mingfei glanced at the photo on the wall. It was an old photo that was enlarged to 36 inches. In the photo, Tang Wei was wearing a black robe and a bachelor's hat, and he was arm in arm with his father, laughing at the camera. On a sunny day, the wrinkles on the latter's face seemed to be blooming.
He had similar photos in his previous life, except that there were more people in the photos, and they were wearing high school uniforms.
Of course, this world doesn't have that.
In the photo with his uncle's family, he was just a small background member.
His original intention was just to express his emotion that even though he had a father to teach him and an education to go to, he still couldn't bear to do such a lowly thing.
But it was obvious that Tang Wei had misunderstood. He stood up despite his fear, hunched over with a pleading and fierce look in his eyes: "Don't let my family suffer. I am responsible for my own actions. My father knows nothing."
"You're thinking about your father now?" Lu Mingfei squinted at him. "When you were committing crimes, why didn't you think about how his grandson would lose his asshole?"
“I…” Tang Wei stammered, trying to explain himself, but in the end he had nothing to say. He could only suppress his fear and stare at Lu Mingfei: “Come to me if you have anything to say. Don’t hurt my dad.”
"Whether you want money or life, just ask. I will agree to everything I can."
As he spoke, he tried his best to activate the strange power in his body that made his hunting career smooth sailing, and his eyes gradually glowed with golden light.
The moment the golden pupils lit up, he finally saw what the young man in front of him looked like, and then his expression became very interesting, full of surprise and doubt, and it was obvious that he had recognized Lu Mingfei's identity.
"Wake up, this is a society ruled by law." Lu Mingfei pointed to the phone next to him, "Within half an hour, I want to see the news of you turning yourself in and being handcuffed and put in a police car.
If not, then we will use your hunter rules to solve the problem, understand?"
Tang Wei wanted to refuse, but he knew he had no right to do so. His face was pale and he looked ten years older. “I understand.”
He has always known that the Hunter Organization is very treacherous, so he wants to quit as soon as he saves enough money and take his father to live a good life abroad.
Just like all those who want to retire, there will always be a strong enemy who comes to their door when they have this idea and are about to put it into practice. It is not so easy to quit the world and live without caring about worldly affairs. Either you leave your life behind or you leave your reputation behind.
And now, he has one and only one choice.
He tremblingly picked up the phone, dialed the police, and began to enumerate his sins.
Those transactions that he had intended to take to his grave now poured out like a flood, and the connection operators were overwhelmed.
When he put down the microphone, Old Tang and Lu Mingfei had disappeared, and the fine steel crossbow arrows on the table and the crossbow on the wall were also missing. They were probably taken away as trophies.
Looking at the empty office, he wanted to pack up and call his father to run away, but the boy named Lu Mingfei was obviously not as simple as the information dug up by netizens showed, and he might really die if he fled for fear of punishment.
At this moment, a prompt flashed in the upper right corner of the Hunter website: "You have an unread email."
He opened the email with shaking hands and found that the content of the email was just one word - Byebye.
My eyes moved to the sender's position...a blank.
No sender.
Tang Wei suddenly shuddered slightly. Fear enveloped him completely and his whole body was soaked in cold sweat.
The foreman manager knocked on the door and wanted to know what had just happened, but Tang Wei just asked him to contact the media and prepare to announce a big news.
By the way, he also went to the monitoring room in person and manually disabled all the monitoring equipment. All the surveillance videos tonight were destroyed, and even the hard drive was pulled out, smashed and thrown into the fish tank.
Then, he picked up a sledgehammer and smashed the monitor and host computer again and again in the confused eyes of his men, as if he was venting his anger and his inner fear.
Outside the Runde Building, Old Tang followed Lu Mingfei with a large eco-friendly bag in his hand: "You are obviously a bit hypocritical. If that Third Young Master was Japanese, he would have been stuck to the wall by now and couldn't be removed even with a shovel."
"Nonsense, I'm not that cruel." Lu Mingfei curled his lips. Tonight's trip reminded him of his parents.
Tang Wei went to college, and against his father's expectations, became a hunter and dug graves.
Lu Mingfei didn't go to college, and his parents dug up graves everywhere because they couldn't meet his expectations.
This world is a huge tomb. You dig, I dig, and everyone digs. Now they are also going to set out to dig the graves of Lao Tang and his brother.
"In the next few days, the mountain city should be very busy."
Regarding the bounty for the set of knives called the Seven Deadly Sins, although the address given is very vague, there is a place in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River that has attracted the attention of various forces at home and abroad.
"The Wu Gorge is the longest of the three gorges in Badong. The monkey's cry made me cry..."
…
At the same time, in a villa near Yangcheng Lake, a young man was reading Lu Mingfei's information:
"Lord Wa, are you sure this is a descendant of the Lu family?"
A clear voice like a young girl came from the phone: "This is the only way to kill the Dragon King in the world."
"But didn't the Lu family fall into decline a long time ago, just like the Chu family?"
"Don't worry about these things, just go find him." The girl named Wazhu said impatiently, "Those idiots from the Temple Society have taken away a lot of precious Eastern blood before. Now this kid may be the only one left in the Lu family. We can't let those foreigners succeed."
"If he can kill the White King, what else can the people of the Temple do to him?"
"A teenage virgin is very restless. Didn't you see that he found a beautiful rich woman when he went abroad? What if those foreigners used honey traps to seduce him?"
"Didn't the secret party send someone to follow him?"
"Zhou Minhao, are you an idiot? Do you understand that those who are not of our race must have different hearts? What if they steal from the company?" There was a sudden sound of keyboard smashing from Lord Wa's side. Zhou Minhao guessed that this girl must have lost the game again and was taking it out on him, so he quickly said a few words to comfort her and hung up the phone.
He looked up at the small restaurant at the bridge head by Yangcheng Lake in the distance. He could vaguely see a graceful lady leaning against the window and gazing at the lake view under the moon. He sighed softly, "You're lucky. I'll continue investigating you when I come back."
After saying this, he lowered the curtains, stood up, packed his luggage, and prepared to leave for an urgent mission.
On the other side, in a quiet and deserted restaurant at the bridgehead, the most famous female entrepreneur in the area picked up her mobile phone and her face changed slightly after she read the content of the text message.
She glanced at another young man in the hall, her eyes moved slightly, but she still couldn't make up her mind.
There is still room for maneuver and she still has room to maneuver. The organization only asked her to help approach the boy but did not ask her to fulfill her obligations.
