Wen Zhengtian left, and Situ Ming did not see him off.
Duan Peng was used to it, and only told Duan Yunfei: "Keep an eye on this young master, don't let him cause trouble."
Duan Yunfei saw the person lounging on the sofa, walked over and sat down opposite them.
"Who was that girl tonight? She said you two are very close."
Duan Yunfei stared intently at Situ Ming, only to see Situ Ming smile. The young man's smile had a melting effect, but unfortunately, the person sitting opposite him was also a young man.
"I've never seen anyone so good at digging up connections," she said, before replying, "Well, we're basically very familiar with each other."
When Duan Yunfei took off his glasses, it was as if he had removed the talisman that sealed his good looks. His three-dimensional features, slightly aggressive, made him unforgettable at first glance; when he put on glasses, he became a refined and elegant gentleman.
Where is Li San now?
Clearly, Situ Ming didn't want to talk about that girl.
"He went on a business trip out of town and hasn't come back yet."
Situ Ming looked at Duan Yunfei and said, "Okay, I understand. Also, you can't possibly beat her."
He got up, patted Duan Yunfei on the shoulder, and went upstairs.
The next day in the small apartment
Hou Taotao waited at the apartment entrance early in the morning, and she looked noticeably thinner.
He leaned against the car and smoked.
A moment later, Zhao Xiaoyue came downstairs, wearing a bun, jeans, a light green jacket, and sneakers. She waved her little hand and greeted him, "Good morning, Brother Tao!"
"Good morning, little niece."
Zhao Xiaoyue stipulated that they should call her "little niece" whenever they saw her outside, in exchange for her calling them "brother."
If you ask about the relationships, wouldn't this be a mess?
"It's okay," Zhao Xiaoyue said. "Let's each do our own thing."
"Let's go."
Hou Taotao drove directly to Changyuan.
Zhao Xiaoyue sat down in the chair specially designed for her, looked at the eight people, and thought, "Hmm, they've all lost weight."
Zhao Xiaoyue put the documents on the table and said, "Let's begin!"
Mr. Zhao's unique charisma immediately came through.
Everyone sat upright, not daring to treat the people above as children at all.
Hou Taotao first summarized the hunter's various affairs, which were basically unimportant.
The only thing is that on New Year's Day this year, a vacant lot in Kyoto's Third Ring Road will be put up for tender.
Zhao Xiaoyue thought for a moment, who did that place on the Third Ring Road in Kyoto originally belong to? Oh right, that place was auctioned off by the court.
We can try to get that.
Then Hou Taotao gestured to Lao Liu to talk about Lao Wu.
The sixth brother's name is Yang Zhenzhen. He's not a typical man; he always flaunts his effeminate mannerisms and acts like a girl.
He picked up the documents beside him, raised his pinky finger and said, "Captain, I suspect that Lao Wu has been captured by the Dragon Path Department, but there is not enough evidence to get him released."
Zhao Xiaoyue was annoyed by the voice that was neither a clip nor a man. Hou Taotao saw this and quickly took over the conversation, "The key is that it has been three days and no one from the Dragon Bureau has contacted us, nor have any bandits sent us any messages."
The key point is that they felt extremely ashamed. When Sixth Brother was around, anyone who dared to touch the Hunters would be wiped out the next day.
Only the fifth among them was a purely weak scholar; the others all had some ability to protect themselves.
Besides Sixth Brother, Hou Taotao, Liang Cheng, Chen Jinghuai, and Yu Muqi are all martial arts experts. Sixth, Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth Brothers learn Sanda (Chinese kickboxing). These guys mainly focus on self-defense, since their older brothers are there to protect them. They couldn't even protect Fifth Brother properly; this is a bit embarrassing.
The sixth brother continued, "That day, the fifth brother went to the Saudin tribe to collect a debt, but on his way back, he simply disappeared. There were no signs of a struggle at the scene, but his bracelet was found in the nearby bushes."
Zhao Xiaoyue took the bracelet, a Bodhi bead bracelet, from Hou Taotao. After playing with it for a while, Zhao Xiaoyue asked, "Why is a dragon mouth bead missing?"
Yang Zhenzhen was shocked. He had taken a while to notice it, but the captain noticed it at a glance.
The fifth brother's Bodhi bead is a bit special; the rim is made of a piece of thousand-year-old agarwood resembling a dragon's head, which is usually not noticeable unless you look closely.
Everyone present looked at Zhao Xiaoyue, who frowned in displeasure. "Get to the point!"
Ah, they've all come back to their senses. They're not acting like children at all.
Lao Liu quickly replied, "The Dragon Mouth Pearl is missing, so we deduced that this was a clue left by Lao Liu, and that he was captured by the Dragon Travelers."
Zhao Xiaoyue frowned.
Hou Taotao added, "The Dragon Path Department has a high status abroad. I don't know who their leader is. It's a place that specializes in training mercenaries and assassins. Moreover, they can only buy and sell assassins there, they don't rent or lend them."
Chen Jinghuai said, "Lao Liu was directly in charge of the two diamond mines. They probably thought he was the boss there, but..."
Zhao Xiaoyue asked, "Where are the diamonds?"
Old Liu swallowed hard. "They couldn't find anything either."
Zhao Xiaoyue stared at Lao Liu, and Lao Liu felt his hair stand on end.
Zhao Xiaoyue placed the bracelet on the marble table. "Those diamonds are meant for the country, right?"
Hou Taotao replied, "Yes."
Zhao Xiaoyue stared at Lao Liu, "Did you go to the Saudin tribe and ask them directly for the whereabouts of the person?"
The sixth man glanced at the helmsman and, mustering his courage, said, "We approached their tribal chief at the beginning, but they refused to acknowledge him. Moreover, there were eyewitnesses who said that the sixth man did indeed disappear just before reaching the border."
Zhao Xiaoyue just chuckled and said, "Damn, you're so naive."
Zhao Xiaoyue then analyzed for him, "Greed is human nature, and plunder is inherent. Our country has not yet established diplomatic relations with most countries in the Southern Hemisphere, and essentially they think we are easy to bully."
Then everyone watched them take the helm; they talked about loyalty, while Zhao Xiaoyue talked about humanity.
"Then as long as we're not easy to bully, that's fine!"
