Chapter 798: Meeting Sumarokov Again
In a blink of an eye, Bai Jincheng had been away for almost half a month. Normally, he was working overtime or even on missions and was out from time to time. It was no different from now, but Jun Qingqing always felt that something was missing around him.
Fortunately, they already have a "note transmission device", and every day the couple would report their safety and also mention interesting things that happened around them.
After much thought, I can only attribute it to the sequelae of an inexplicable sense of crisis.
In order to shorten the journey time, we changed planes, ships, and cars. After another five or six days, we finally arrived at the port of our destination city.
Because he was invited, there was a special car to take him to the largest hotel after his arrival.
On the way, I learned that not only would the handsome Chinese man sitting in the passenger seat who could speak Chinese be there as a kind of butler before she left, he would also help solve trivial problems, from small ones like ordering meals to big ones like, um... It seemed that as long as no one was killed, it would be fine.
The car and driver are also on standby around the clock.
This made Bai Jincheng unable to help but be amazed. The other party must have big ambitions, so why would he be so generous?
However, when the enemy comes, we will fight him; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. Now we are already standing on another country's land, it is too late to say anything.
Having said that, the service is really good.
Take the room check-in as an example. All you need to do is sit on the sofa in the lobby, drink some tea, eat a small cake, and in less than ten minutes you will receive the room card.
When I asked how to pay, I was told that “the entire process is contracted by our boss”.
After closing the door, Bai Jincheng was the only one left in the room. He quickly went to the bathroom to wash up, then fell on the bed and slept soundly for two days before he fully recovered.
Now I really miss the time when I took a boat with my wife to the United States to participate in the competition nearly ten years ago. Because my girl was with me throughout the journey, we were all full of energy after arriving, which is nothing like now.
According to the information we received, there are still three days before the private auction. In other words, this time can be used freely before the auction starts. No wonder people want to provide a car, a driver, and a butler.
I originally wanted to ask for more detailed information, but my stomach started to protest. I had already stayed in the room for two days and it seemed inappropriate to do so, so I decided to go to the restaurant first.
Probably because it wasn’t dinner time, I didn’t see any familiar faces.
When I came back and was about to get the room card, I heard the door open next door. I looked up and was surprised to find that my neighbor was Sumarokov.
Meeting someone I knew was totally unexpected, and I didn't even think of it as being in line with my ultimate goal. After all, the invitation letter clearly stated that strong military generals were needed to come and help.
Last time, I participated in an ancient martial arts competition in the Bear Country, and after several contacts, I felt that the other party had good character. At the end, my daughter-in-law even gave me the medicine as a thank you gift, and we even contacted each other three or four times after returning home, in order to help deliver some of the purchased items.
At this moment, they greeted each other and then started to chat warmly. It was inappropriate to stand at the door all the time, so Bai Jincheng simply invited people to his room to sit down and chat.
Upon learning that he came for the secret place, he didn't believe it and simply checked the strength of the guy in front of him. He was indeed just able to break through to the Great Martial Master level, so he simply asked about his doubts.
Sumarokov smiled and did not hide anything. He simply explained that the secret place was just a passing mention. He roughly pointed out that the other person had brought up another matter, which accurately described that he had completely grasped one of the lifelines for the upward development of the Rotenberg family. In this case, the United States had to come no matter what.
No specific content was mentioned in the middle, and Bai Jincheng did not ask any further questions.
Later on, August and Crystal from the Hop Country, Alfred from the Paris Country, Albert from the Italian Country, Harrison from the Eagle Country, and Westbrook were mentioned.
The names that were read out all appeared on the list of contestants for the ancient martial arts competition held in the United States in 1974.
The next few words really frightened him: "I didn't get to know everyone, but I asked three of them. Since they are from different countries, it is basically confirmed. Although we need to go to the secret floor to confirm it, Crystal and Harrison were busy at first and didn't want to come, but later they all changed their minds. If they can give in, I guess the temptation conditions must have touched their hearts."
Bai Jincheng realized that his situation seemed to be similar. According to his needs, the private auction was exactly what he wanted.
I heard that you didn't just stand by and watch important cultural relics appear. If you have the ability, you must find a way to get them back.
At this moment, I was secretly glad that my wife had just given birth and could not travel long distances.
Since this guy has found out everything, there is no need to go through the trouble of looking for people lurking in the United States to help find ways to investigate.
The auction was hosted by the Roosevelt family, which ranked first in wealth and second in ancient martial arts strength. The person in charge happened to be someone they all knew, it was Steven.
His sister married Hernandez. That name is familiar, right? That's right, he was the one who was involved with Lomin.
The relationship is really messy.
The two chatted for a while, and when they looked at their watches, it was already past four in the afternoon.
Now Bai Jincheng's mind was full of thoughts about telling his young wife all this, so Sumarokov invited him to dinner but was politely declined, but he mentioned that he would host him the next day.
I guessed it was something serious, so I agreed without hesitation.
He had already walked to the door when he suddenly remembered an important piece of information and quickly turned around and said, "Oh, right. In addition to the above content, the private auction you mentioned seems to allow direct payment with money and exchange of items. Of course, this thing has requirements. As mentioned before, the Roosevelt family ranks second in ancient martial arts strength."
What else was there to be confused about? He nodded and said, "Medicine?"
"Hahahahaha... That's why I say you two are amazing people. You guessed each other's purpose with just a few words. Yes, to be precise, it's something that can improve ancient martial arts strength. I feel like the additional conditions and the auction items are combined, as if they were specially prepared for you. Telling you in advance is a good omen for us. Whether you want to take it and how to take it gives you a few days to consider it."
I knew that the other person meant well and thanked him repeatedly.
Sumarokov waved his hand and said with a smile: "You are good at ancient martial arts. I hope you can help me if we meet in the secret place."
It seems that smart people can see that there must be something fishy going on.
Bai Jincheng was the only one left in the room again. He sat down and reviewed the conversation just now. At the end he sighed heavily.
I wanted to talk to my wife, but when I looked at the time, I gave up using the sound transmission talisman immediately. Instead, I found some cooked food in my space ring and had a simple dinner.
After nearly three hours of hard work, it was a little after eight in the morning local time. He took out the sound transmission note and sent out seven notes in succession before he finally made his situation clear.
Jun Qingqing had just finished breakfast when she sensed the talismans, one after another, and was a little surprised. Perhaps Brother Jincheng knew something, so she got up, settled the children, and went back to the bedroom.
After closing the door, he immediately slipped into the space and listened to the specific content.
Here are some useful messages.
The document emphasizes that military strength is required to open the secret place, which may be true, but several families in the United States can pay to invite people, so there is no need to send out formal invitations for their couples to attend. Therefore, it is important to find common ground among the people who were singled out.
