【476】New Quest (2nd Update)
The black crow can't find someone to vent, and no matter how big the anger is, it can only swallow it in the stomach.
Qin Shuang and Ah Chen were very hidden when they first started, and they also used Yi Rong Dan to change their appearance, and the black crow didn't know that the problems that appeared in their group were related to Dawn.
It will be rumored that there are 'several' powerful mercenaries on the road, instead of two, and it is also because of the misunderstanding caused by Qin Shuang and Ah Chen's constantly changing appearances, which can also be said to be the smoke bombs they deliberately planted.
Two months later, Haishi.
The warm spring has passed, Haishi is located in the southern part of China, it is the hot summer, the pedestrians on the street have changed into the cool clothes of summer, and the arms and legs of white flowers can be seen everywhere.
Ah Chen still didn't squint and never glanced at other women, but after staying in the modern era for a few months, he had become accustomed to the atmosphere here that was much more bold than the world of Xuantian Kingdom.
He and Qin Shuang, who were waiting for the arrival of the Sky Wolf in a café, were also wearing quite cool clothes at this time, although they were not as exaggerated as others in shorts and short skirts, but they were also very light casual suits, Qin Shuang was a ruffled short shirt with a knee-length pleated skirt, and a pair of stiletto heels underneath.
It didn't take long for Venus to walk in with Ah Yan in his arms, and when the two sides met, in the eyes of outsiders, it was a couple drinking coffee and chatting together.
Actually, of course, they'll get together for business.
Just three days ago, Dawn took on a new bodyguard mission.
In fact, under normal circumstances, mercenaries rarely accept bodyguard tasks, because the price is much lower than other tasks, and there are too many overkills, unless the big people in some countries encounter some danger and need their help to solve it, it is more exciting, and the remuneration is high enough.
But this situation is usually more common abroad, and in China, which is relatively stable and strictly controlled, there are very few bodyguard tasks that mercenaries can take and can be seen by them, and there are not two or three of them all year round.
The reason why Sky Wolf took this task and let the core members gather together is because the people they want to protect this time, as well as the items, are all stored in competitors, and the people on the competitor's side are the crows!
Where there are crows, how can they not join in the fun when the dawn breaks?
Let's talk more about the content of this mission.
Three days after the sea market, there will be an underground auction, the auction of antiques from various dynasties, most of them are Chinese, a small number of famous paintings from some foreign countries, and some high-quality jade jade jewelry or rough stones.
The people who participated in the auction were all enthusiasts from China or other countries, and the person in charge of protecting this time was a collector from China who had already auctioned at the auction and would also participate in the bidding.
This collector has a lot of family background, over sixty years old, from a young age inspired to bring back as many cultural relics as possible to the Chinese country that have been scattered abroad, in a few decades, he brought back more than 50 pieces of cultural relics, some of which were directly donated to the official museum, so that the Chinese official is also very polite and respectful to him, is a noble old man.
This time, what he was going to auction was not a cultural relic, but a piece of Laokeng glass jadeite that he accidentally gambled on and gambled on, and it was enough to make at least three sets of jewelry! In addition, there is a very small emerald, which can only be used as an interface, but the color is extremely pure and flawless.
These two kinds of jade, according to the bidding prices in some well-known auctions in China, can be worth as little as 500 million!
At this auction, in addition to the people who came specially because they took a fancy to some cultural relics, many people came for these two auction items.
Some are jade lovers, others are jewelry merchants, and their purpose is either to collect them themselves or to make money by making jewelry and making their brands famous.
But there are also some people who are outlaws who come for the profits that these jade can bring them.
Jade worth 500 million! Who doesn't get impressed when they hear it? Once you get the jade in your hands and sell it again, won't you make a fortune?
And even if you were planning to buy it through the auction through legitimate means, if you don't get the auction in the end, it is a good idea to spend some money to hire someone to steal the thing.
The person who hired the crow was planning to find a way to steal first, shoot if he couldn't steal it, and if he couldn't shoot it, then grab it from the person who got it!
He doesn't have the ability to do it himself, but he has the money and can hire someone to rob it for him!
This man and the respectable collector who hired Dawn happened to be the opposite of the opposite, although they were both from China, and they were barely a collector, but more of them were mercenary merchants, and after getting many precious antiques or jade from various sources, some of them kept them for themselves, and some of them were sold to some wealthy foreign businessmen at high prices.
He doesn't care about the problem of Chinese things flowing abroad, as long as he can make money, he will sell them! Moreover, the ones he sold were not so legitimate, and many of them were obtained by him by similar means that he intended to use this time.
His conduct is inferior and despised! He is also notorious in the industry, and few people are willing to associate with him.
The old collector also sensed that the other party might be eyeing his own things, and heard that the other party had hired a well-known mercenary group at home and abroad, so he was worried, and also used his own connections to inquire, and finally invited Dawn.
The wolf and several people also admired the old collector, and they looked down on the traitor, and they were able to meet the crow, and the collector was not bad for money, and gave a lot of remuneration, and after comprehensive consideration, he took over this bodyguard task.
This afternoon, the old collector would arrive at Haishi with his jade, and from the moment he got off the plane, their mission began.
Sky Wolf and Kane didn't come, they went to the airport to pick people up.
The Crows are anything but open-minded, and who knows if they'll find a way to grab something from the old collector as soon as he gets off the plane.
After listening to Ah Yan's explanation, Qin Shuang tapped the table with his fingertips and asked, "What is the plan of the Heavenly Wolf?" ”
Ah Yan said: "We are too familiar with the black crow's people, we can recognize it at a glance, once the black crow finds us, we will definitely be vigilant, in order not to startle the snake, after a while, we will try our best to avoid showing our faces on the bright side, and we will also do some more disguise." ”
They want to calculate the black crows and mess up their tasks, but they can keep a low profile as much as possible without being detected, if they really can't hide themselves, it's a big deal to fight openly when the time comes! Anyway, they didn't have a confrontation with the crows.
"You don't show your face, are you planning to let me and Ah Chen come?" Qin Shuang wasn't surprised by their thoughts.
Venus smiled: "You two are new faces, even if you stand in front of the crow's people, they probably won't know that you are a member of the dawn, we have discussed with the old collector, if you are okay, then you will pretend to be the son and daughter of an old collector, follow him to see the world, as long as you don't take the initiative to expose something, the crow has great ability and can't imagine what threat you two will have to them." ”
Qin Shuang and Ah Chen's hidden kung fu is too good, they don't deliberately leak their momentum on weekdays, they look no different from ordinary people, and the only thing that is more eye-catching is their excellent appearance.
But it's not uncommon for people to be good-looking in these years, and most of the people who can participate in the auction are people who have seen the world, so they don't pay more attention to them when they see two young people looking good.
The most confusing thing is the age of Qin Shuang and Ah Chen, young people who are only in their early twenties, in the eyes of some old foxes and old fritters, they are little devils who have not grown all their hair, and they are not worth taking to heart at all.
Showing the enemy to be weak, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger or something, is a good strategy that has not been tried and tested.
An hour later.
Qin Shuang and Ah Chen came to the hotel where the old collector had stayed, and found someone according to the room number that Ah Yan told them.
The old collector Zhang Aizhi ushered them into the room, asked his life assistant to pour them a cup of hot tea, and then asked gently, "You are the people that the wolf said will protect me with me?" ”
"Yes, Elder Zhang." Qin Shuang and Ah Chen nodded at Zhang Aizhi and said, "The other black crows of Dawn are very familiar, and it is inconvenient for them to protect you by your side, so the two of us have come over, but you can rest assured, although we don't look very old, there is no problem in dealing with the people of the black crows." ”
Zhang Aizhi smiled kindly, and did not show the slightest suspicion on his face, but said very open-mindedly: "Since it is the person sent by the head of the Dawn, of course I will not doubt your ability, you can enter the Dawn, which in itself has proved that your strength is not weak, with you by my side to protect, I can finally settle down." ”
Zhang Ai is over sixty years old, and she has seen so many people in the market, and the deeper her experience, her views on many things are different from ordinary people.
Others may still be suspicious of Qin Shuang and Ah Chen when they see them, but Zhang Aizhi knows that really capable people are not limited to age, their young age does not mean that they can't be trusted, they are unreliable, and they may be able to far exceed other peers, because they are talented enough, they are entrusted with important tasks.
Such people are often much better than some people who seem to be very powerful, but in fact they are just a showman.
The reason why he invited Dawnbreaker to come was also because he had inquired about Dawn's style of acting in many ways, and determined that the character of Dawnbreaker's members should be quite upright.
Since they can be sent by their regimental commander, these two people are certainly worthy of his trust.
Ah Chen looked at Zhang Aizhi and asked bluntly: "Old Zhang, I heard that you haven't sent the auction items to the auction organizer yet, I don't know if you can show us the two kinds of jade first, and also make some arrangements on the jade by the way, the people of the black crows are quite despicable, and they will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals, and no one can say when they will come and steal things." ”
"Of course no problem!" Zhang Aizhi gestured to his secretary with a stern expression, and the other party carefully took out the two top-grade jade stones stored in the small safe in the corner of the room.
When the jade was taken out, Zhang Aizhi himself, his secretary and life assistant all showed a slightly amazed and obsessed look.
Although Zhang Aizhi has been determined to bring back cultural relics that have been scattered abroad for most of his life, he is also quite fond of jade, and this time if it were not for the fact that he could raise more funds, he would not have put these two top jade pieces up for auction.
Even so, he had already told the auctioneer that the winner of the Laokeng glass seed must use a small part of the leftovers to make a ring for him, and the pendant does not need to be too big, and it doesn't use much material, and he is ready to keep it as a souvenir.
The auctioneer has also agreed to his request, and when the auction begins, this request will be announced directly, and participating in the auction means agreeing to his request.
There is no way to make the imperial green jade, it is originally as big as the glass, if he wants to keep some more, even if it is just a ring face, the price of the jade itself will be greatly discounted.
Qin Shuang and Ah Chen each picked up a piece of jade and looked at it in their hands, just as Ah Yan and Venus said, these two pieces of jade have a very good texture, without any flaws, and their luster is translucent and beautiful.
It's just that these two stones, which are actually not very big, can be worth 500 million, how many arms can 500 million buy, how many mercenaries with excellent ability can be cultivated, and how much benefit will it bring to Dawn?
Qin Shuang didn't have the same idea as the black-hearted merchant when she saw these two stones, she just thought that in the system mall, there are countless high-quality jade, but the price is not expensive at all, mainly in the future world, the value of jade is far from being as high as it is now, it is just a relatively good-looking daily jewelry.
What if she bought a few jade stones with good texture and sold them at auction?
"Elder Zhang, I wonder if this auction can still give auction items? Does it need to be escalated in advance? Qin Shuang looked at Zhang Aizhi.
Zhang Aizhi was surprised: "Send auction items? Do you have any treasures to sell? ”
"It's a couple of gadgets." Qin Shuang said it lightly.
Zhang Aizhi didn't think much about it, but said: "If it is a formal auction, of course not, the reporting of auction items has basically stopped a month before the auction starts, but this auction itself is an underground auction, and many people who come are people who are not easy to say on the surface, and many of the auction items are not clear, so as long as someone is willing to take things out for auction, and the things are indeed quite valuable, they can send things over the day before the auction starts." ”
"That's great." Qin Shuang smiled gratefully at Zhang Aizhi and exchanged a tacit look with Ah Chen.
With such a way as selling jade, it seems that the assets they can leave for Dawn will be multiplied several times.
Qin Shuang and Ah Chen exchanged the jade in their hands after reading it, and it didn't take long for them to return the jade to Zhang Aizhi.
"Is it already possible?" Zhang Aizhi was sure.
Ah Chen smiled, "If someone tries to steal the jade, we will find out as soon as possible." ”
The three people on Zhang Aizhi's side, including him, were a little confused, these two people obviously just picked up the jade and looked at it, and they didn't see any tricks and feet, how could they do all the 'anti-theft measures'?
Of course, they don't know that the 'hands and feet' have indeed been done, but they are not the same as they imagined the 'hands and feet'.
When Qin Shuang touched the two pieces of jade, she used the system's copy function to completely copy one of the two pieces of jade, and at this time, the two pieces of jade were lying in the two empty compartments of her system backpack.
If there is any accident with the two pieces of jade in Zhang Lao's hand, such as losing them before the auction starts, according to the regulations of the auction, if the corresponding items are not brought over after the report, they will have to pay one-tenth of the value of the auction item itself! 500 million jade will pay 50 million! That's not a small amount.
If Qin Shuang and Ah Chen can't get the jade back in time, they can directly use the stealing beam in the backpack to change the pillar, and then recover the jade afterwards.
Zhang Aizhi didn't know Qin Shuang and Ah Chen's plans, although he had doubts, he didn't rush to ask, and only asked the secretary to put the jade back in the safe.
