Liu Nian heard someone calling her and quickly turned around.
Upon closer inspection, it was a familiar face: Lei Lan, Dugu Xing's housekeeper.
He knew in his heart that Dugu Xing must have something to ask him.
I don't know what it is, but since I received a favor yesterday, it's only right that I go and meet them today.
"Please lead the way," Liu Nian said, turning around.
They followed Lei Lan out of the market and got into a black modified vehicle parked by the roadside.
The car was luxuriously decorated, and Lei Lan sat opposite Liu Nian, chatting about everyday things.
The driver was an experienced driver, and there were no noticeable bumps along the way. When the car stopped, Lei Lan accompanied Liu Nian out of the car.
Liu Nian glanced at the surrounding environment and was a little surprised; this was actually the outskirts of the city.
Before he could finish expressing his surprise, Lei Lan led the way, taking Liu Nian forward.
Outside the camp, many vehicles were transporting supplies and people back and forth, indicating that they no longer intended to operate Wushuang City.
Dugu Xing was waiting at the entrance of the reception room early in the morning, and there were some people around whom Liu Nian had met before but whose names she could not recall.
"I was unaware of Liu Nian's arrival. Please forgive my lack of hospitality." Dugu Xing led the way down the stairs, smiling as he greeted Liu Nian.
"I am not worthy of such words from the city lord," Liu Nian replied politely.
The two then returned to the house and sat down as host and guest, respectively.
After some conversation, it was learned that this commission was actually related to the Raiders Alliance.
turn out to be
After they captured Meng Ziyi's club, the scouts who were assigned to keep watch on the club all disappeared.
Several more groups of people were sent to investigate, but none of them returned.
Dugu Xing suspected that Meng Ziyi himself had discovered their whereabouts and then killed them.
I originally planned to lead the team to search for the missing soldiers myself, but then yesterday's events happened, and we suffered losses again.
They didn't get any benefits, and their team even got into a feud with a relative of Zhou Jin.
However, as the leader of the large group, he exchanged many useful items with the merchant, which somewhat made up for the losses.
In his opinion, Meng Ziyi was definitely not simple, as he was able to kill these elite scouts without anyone noticing.
Therefore, he wanted to ask Liu Nian to accompany him to take a look.
Of course, at his prompting, someone came over carrying a box.
When the box was opened, there were many crowns inside, at least several thousand, and several cards lying on top of the crowns.
Seeing Liu Nian's confused expression, Dugu Xing explained, "It's just a small token of my appreciation."
Look how well he knows how to conduct himself; no wonder he became the city lord.
However, he also had a grudge against Meng Ziyi. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and besides, he also had some friendship with Dugu Xing.
After thinking it through, Liu Nian nodded in agreement.
However, he did not take the box, but said that it would be better to discuss the payment after the investigation was completed.
What if Meng Ziyi runs away early and doesn't feel secure about spending the money he received?
Dugu Xing declined for a long time without success, and could only give up, but in his heart he still thought highly of Liu Nian.
Looking at the sky, which was approaching noon, Liu Nian asked Dugu Xing, "When are we setting off?"
Dugu Xing laughed and said, "No rush, we can set off after lunch."
"Anyway, if he wanted to run away, he would have already done so. If he doesn't want to run away, there's no rush."
Liu Nian suddenly thought of something: "Do you recognize Meng Ziyi?"
Based on our conversation, we know they didn't meet Meng Ziyi when they arrived.
How will I know he is Meng Ziyi if we've never met?
I have met him myself, but it's not convenient to disclose it now.
Dugu Xing pointed to one of the people present and said, "Gongsun Yuan, the current captain of the Public Security Bureau, has the ability to pry open some people's mouths that they can't open."
Gongsun Yuan? Never heard of him.
However, I know that the former brigade leader was Li Gang.
Thinking about Li Gang, I don't think I saw him today.
"I remember there was a former brigade leader named Li Gang, right?"
He regretted it as soon as he said it, because the atmosphere in the room had become very tense after he opened his mouth.
I think I said something wrong!
Sure enough, Dugu Xing's expression changed, but he quickly returned to normal: "It's all Meng Ziyi's doing. Many of us have been arrested by him and haven't come back, including the former captain."
"His younger brother returned safely, but he couldn't handle the blow of this fact and is now completely despondent."
Hearing this, Liu Nian felt uneasy, regretting that she hadn't asked.
Actually, he thought highly of Li Gang, a very capable person.
As for Li Qiang, he's a spoiled brat who still owes me crowns!
Others joined in, laughing it off and changing the subject.
Then the waiter brought out the food, and everyone sat together at a round table, enjoying themselves immensely.
After a satisfying meal, everyone, led by Dugu Xing, took a car to the club.
When they gathered, Liu Nian saw many casual players from the plaza also appearing there.
“They all came here voluntarily with the city lord, and now they’ve joined our team,” Zhao Rui said proudly, noticing Liu Nian’s confusion.
It must be said that this is indeed something to be proud of.
Liu Nian rode with the city lord, and Lei Lan, who was sitting next to him, casually asked him about his future plans.
Liu Nian thought for a moment and honestly replied that she didn't know her future plans yet.
"Let's just take it one day at a time!"
"Have you ever thought about joining the team? That way you can better utilize your abilities," Lei Lan asked with a smile.
After she finished speaking, the carriage fell silent, and everyone waited for Liu Nian's reply.
"I'm used to being lazy and I'm no longer suited for team life." Liu Nian knew what she meant, but didn't say it out loud.
Leland stopped there and moved on to other interesting anecdotes.
A hint of regret flashed in Dugu Xing's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
It's not too late to recruit them when I can have a voice in City A.
If you're not a phoenix tree, how can you attract a golden phoenix?
Thinking of this, a glint flashed in his eyes.
The rest of the journey was silent. When the car arrived at its destination, everyone got off one by one.
It was a block away from Meng Ziyi's club, but the area was full of Dugu Xing's spies.
Although they were eating and drinking in the city, Dugu Xing had already sent out scouts to investigate by daybreak.
Someone saw Dugu Xing get out of the car and come over from the roadside to report on his work.
"So far, no one has gone in or out," the burly man reported.
"You've worked hard!" Dugu Xing patted him on the shoulder.
"I dare not accept such praise," the man hurriedly waved his hand and then retreated.
Dugu Xing gathered everyone together: "Then let's go and see if we can find any clues."
In his mind, there shouldn't be anyone inside.
"One team, led by Gongsun Yuan, entered through the back door."
"I personally led the second team to enter through the front gate."
"Finally, we'll meet in the middle courtyard. If anything happens, please contact us immediately."
After the city lord finished speaking, someone handed Liu Nian a walkie-talkie.
After the personnel were assigned to the two teams, Liu Nian and Dugu Xing were assigned to the same team.
Leading the group was a tracker who gently pushed open the club's door, releasing a foul stench of rotting corpses into everyone's nostrils.
A gust of wind blew by, and the branches of the welcoming pine tree in front of the door swayed in the wind, as if silently welcoming everyone.
Looking at the dark doorway, Liu Nian felt a chill and suddenly had the urge to retreat.
The pursuers disappeared inside the door. Liu Nian hesitated for a moment, then finally stepped inside with the others.
