Chapter 1333: Underground Transactions

……

With almost no effort, Sophia opened a sturdy security door, and she and Xia Lan quietly entered Tang Wenbiao's residence one after the other.

The two women put away their umbrellas and gently dusted the rain from their bodies and hair, and they did not rush upstairs, but waited in the entrance with bated breath for a while. Then, each of them put on gloves of special material, adjusted the green yarn covering their faces, and when they were properly prepared, the soldiers quickly and comprehensively searched and inspected the various rooms on the first floor in two ways......

A short time later, according to the electronic sensor on her watch, Sophia stopped in front of the door of a room. She gripped the doorknob and twisted it slightly, opening the unlocked door.

Since there were no lights in the room and thick curtains hung in them, the light in the upper room became even darker. However, the well-trained Sophia can still see some of the furnishings in the room more clearly.

Next to a luxurious mahogany Bogu shelf, there is a set of mahogany boss tables and chairs of the same material, and a running LCD monitor sits upright on the table top that shimmers with a simple and luxurious luster.

Sophia didn't close the door, she walked straight into the room, she went around the boss's desk, took a mouse in her hand, shook it slightly, and the LCD suddenly lit up.

When Sophia saw the video surveillance on the screen, a little light slipped through her jewel-like eyes, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and a wicked smile appeared on her face.

Then, Sophia leaned down slightly and found the video switcher under the table, and she pressed a switch to switch the video surveillance footage......

……

Xia Lan left the nanny's room, and when she was about to go to meet Sophia, she suddenly thought of a more important place that she hadn't visited, so she came to the garden lightly.

A courtyard lamp on the grass outside the bungalow shines through the bright floor-to-ceiling bay window, although the light is not particularly bright, but it can completely allow Xia Lan to take in the inside of the garden.

Some high-end mahogany flower stands are scattered with precious bonsai such as ginseng ficus, fortune tree, Australian cedar, small-leaved red sandalwood, knotted white ash, etc., and there are mahogany tables and chairs for flower viewing and tea in the middle.

In the corner of the table is a pair of Hetian jade paperweights, under which is a neat pile of rice paper, next to which is a delicate blue and white porcelain pen holder, in which several hard pen calligraphy pens are inserted.

As early as many years ago, Xia Lan knew that Tang Wenbiao had some more elegant hobbies in his spare time, such as collecting antiques, raising flowers and plants, and writing and painting.

In addition, as far as Xia Lan knows, two years ago, Tang Wenbiao also became the deputy secretary general of the Dingcheng Hard Pen Calligraphy Association, and there are many titles. Many of his works have not only been published in some publications, but have also become the collection of many businessmen......

Looking at the words on the rice paper that were quite reasonable, Xia Lan's face showed a little disdain. She believes objectively and fairly that Tang Wenbiao's characters are inferior to Lin Fei's corner in many aspects such as pen power, structure, layout and chapter method, but it is precisely because of the position of people like him that they have the so-called success in these aspects.

Xia Lan stretched out her hand to remove the paperweight, flipping through Tang Wenbiao's works one by one, and when she saw about the sixth or seventh, her eyes flashed like Sophia in another room. She quickly folded the piece of paper and put it on her body, and walked quickly towards the room where Sophia was......

……

Even though Xia Lan's footsteps were so subtle that they could barely be heard, Sophia still raised her head as soon as she entered the room and asked in a low voice, "How is it?" That little babysitter isn't at home, is she? ”

"Not really." Xia Lan nodded, closed the door casually, walked to the boss's table, and said in the same low voice, "The bedding on the bed is very neatly laid out, and there is an umbrella hanging on the clothes rack, which should have been taken away by Wen Mengfei in the afternoon, that is, before it rained." ”

"Anything else?" Sophia asked in a low voice again.

"Yes." Xia Lan smiled slightly, "And the harvest is still great, I basically know Tang Wenbiao's specific location now." ”

"Really?" Sophia, of course, was very happy and quickly asked, "Where is he?" ”

"If nothing else, he should stay with that old fox Yao Jinyu." Xia Lan took out the rice paper from her body, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Sophia, "Take a look for yourself." ”

Sophia took this piece of rice paper in her hand, and saw a few lines of scribbled ligatures written on it, "In the early morning of the day after tomorrow, the transaction volume of the Zidu Business Hall increased by ten percentage points, and it was converted into gold......"

"Zidu Business Club." Sophia raised her head and looked at Xia Lan and asked, "What does this mean?" ”

Xia Lan said, "To put it simply, Yao Jinyu hosted an underground art transaction at the Zidu Business Hall tonight, and Tang Wenbiao came forward to escort him......

"How do you know that?" Sophia asked.

"Sister Yuting mentioned to me this afternoon, she said that in the past few days, the above-ground art trade that has been silent for a week is about to resurrect." Xia Lan explained, "As for the cause and effect, as well as the relevant details, we will discuss them in detail when we have time." ”

"It says 'early morning the day after tomorrow', maybe he wrote it today?" Sophia folded the rice paper and pushed it to Xia Lan's side.

"It must have been yesterday." Xia Lan picked up the rice paper, "There are also several calligraphy works with hard pens, and the date on them is last night. ”

"It's such an important thing, it's me." Sophia frowned slightly, "I will never write it on paper, and I will put it in the open place." If I did, there was only one reason, and that was ......"

"Don't worry." Xia Lan certainly knew what Sophia was questioning and worried about, she shook her head and smiled confidently, "I'm absolutely sure. I remember when I used to study with him, he enjoyed doing it very much. While answering the phone, write down the content of the call. So, he is very unsuitable for this profession. In addition, after we arrive at the Zidu Business Club, we will definitely not rush into ......."

"I understand." Sophia nodded, glanced at the screen, smiled and beckoned to Xia Lan, "Come over and take a look, I guarantee you have never seen such a wonderful show." ”

"I know what." Xia Lan shook her head and said lightly, "Forget it, don't look at it, you quickly take off your things, and after cleaning up, let's leave here quickly and go to find Tang Wenbiao and Yao Jinyu." ”

"There's no hurry, it's still early anyway, besides, haven't we already said that we want to talk to Luo Shanshan?" Sophia hurriedly stood up, came to Xia Lan's side, and walked behind the boss's table by her arm, "If you miss such a wonderful show, you will definitely regret it in the future." ”

"I don't regret it?!" Xia Lan looked at the LCD monitor while speaking, and when she saw the unsightly picture, she quickly looked away, her white cheeks were covered with crimson, and she scolded in a low voice, "The two of them are so shameless." ”
