On the day he arrived in Haishi, Zhang Aizhi did not immediately send the two top jade stones to the auctioneer, not that he didn't want to, so as not to cause extraneous branches, in case something went wrong after sending it over, it was not whether he wanted to pay any breach of contract losses, but the auctioneer wanted to persuade and compensate him for his losses, the estimated price of 500 million or something.

However, this underground auction is really special in terms of receiving auction items, they do not receive the auction items in advance, and they have to wait until the evening before the auction starts to hold a dinner before the auction starts, and then the various auction providers start to talk about the objects one after another.

This is a traditional rule, and it is also because they do not rent the space where the underground auction will be held in advance, and they will only rent it three or four days in advance, and then set it up before they can receive the lots.

Why? Probably because the venue was rented in advance, which was too expensive? Who knows, there is such a conventional rule in the underground auction, no one can break it, no matter what reason you have, such as someone is eyeing your auction item, and you want to send it in advance for fear of losing it.

If you really lose it, it is also the reason why you are not good to keep it yourself, if you send it over, the auctioneer loses the thing, and the auctioneer must not pay for death? This rule does not necessarily mean that the auctioneer does not want to set things up, or wants to clear up the relationship.

It was also the day when the auctioneer would officially show his face to all the guests attending the auction for the first time.

Qin Shuang and Ah Chen heard Zhang Aizhi talk about some of the contents of the dinner, and mentioned some more information about the black-hearted businessman, and took out the dresses prepared for them in advance, preparing to bring them over in the evening, and introduce their current identities to the others, so that no one would think much about them in the next few days.

Speaking of dresses, Ah Chen's face turned black after he saw that the dresses that Zhang Aizhi prepared for you and his daughter-in-law were actually bandeau dresses.

After staying in modern times for a few months, he can slowly adapt and accept that the weather is too hot in summer, Qin Shuangchuan has a short shirt, even a sleeveless T-shirt, and wears pants or skirts that don't show his thighs underneath, but! He couldn't accept that participating in a broken dinner party would not only show a lot of his daughter-in-law's crisp breasts for others to see, but even the skirt was extremely short, revealing a lot of thighs!

As her husband, no matter whether this era is open enough or not, this kind of thing is unbearable!

didn't get angry directly at Zhang Aizhi, his endurance is amazing!

Qin Shuang didn't take over the task of bodyguards when she was a mercenary before, a woman as a bodyguard must be the most convenient and least likely to be suspicious of her female companion, so she really wears this kind of small dress, if she wears a skirt that is too long, she is afraid that her activities will be very hindered.

But now, this kind of clothing is definitely not worn.

First, she used to be single, but now she is a married woman, and her man Ah Chen will be unhappy! Don't you see that your face is as black as ink?

Second, cough, it's probably because I've been staying in the conservative ancient times for too long, and a few months after coming back, she's still a little uncomfortable with too revealing clothes, so she can wear as much as she can.

Even if it is a dress, it is not uncommon to not show the shoulders, and the chest collar is not so big, of course, the skirt must be a little longer, at least knee-length, some knee-length skirts will look old-fashioned if the style is not right, Qin Shuang said to Zhang Aizhi kindly that he had prepared another dress, thank him for his kindness.

Then I picked a piece from the mall that Ah Chen felt was barely acceptable, it was a small evening gift that was biased towards a more intellectual one, intellectual, it can't be too sexy and sultry, compared to other evening dresses, it must be more conservative, the skirt is a fishtail skirt, which is beautiful, and the fishtail part is relatively long, which can cover the entire knee or even a small calf.

At around six o'clock in the evening, dinner time arrived.

Qin Shuang and Ah Chen each changed into their evening dresses and suits, and followed Zhang Aizhi, who was wearing a spirited brown Tang suit, to the banquet hall on the third floor.

The hotel was provided by the auctioneer, and the dinner was of course held here, but as for the auction, it was in a place on the antique gambling stone street in Haishi.

It is said that there were hundreds of participants in this auction, and there were about 30 people who provided the auction items, and among these 30 or so people, there were two strong identities like Zhang Aizhi, who provided the auction items and participated in the auction, so the total number of people was not as large as 1340, and there were barely more than 110 people.

But these people can't come alone, some may bring female companions, some may bring assistant secretaries, some relatives and friends, or apprentices, bodyguards, and so on.

The auctioneer didn't ask for a few people to go, some of them were particularly life-saving, and it was common to bring a few more bodyguards with them, and if the auctioneer didn't allow them to bring them, they might have to turn their faces with you immediately.

In this way, you can imagine how many people there will be in the banquet hall, at least two or three hundred people.

Zhang Aizhi's departure time was not early or late, when he arrived at the banquet hall, there were already many people inside, the huge banquet hall was a little empty, but those who arrived in advance gathered together in twos and threes to say this, and the atmosphere was quite lively.

On the one hand, this dinner is to welcome the many guests who came to attend, on the other hand, it is also to let them get to know each other, get in touch with each other, maybe some people can have the opportunity to cooperate, and it is also a good way to expand contacts and increase business channels.

Therefore, whether it is for the auction or out of their own selfishness, basically everyone will participate.

This was just the right time for Qin Shuang and Ah Chen to observe these people closely.

Although Ah Yan said that it was the black-hearted businessman who was eyeing Zhang Aizhi's jade, in fact, among the hundreds of guests, there were twenty or thirty jade lovers or collectors, and it is estimated that these people also came to Zhang Aizhi's jade this time.

So, is there really no one else among these people who also has any bad ideas?

Underground auctions, which are of a relatively secret and unspeakable special nature, attract many people who are not doing legitimate business, and it is not surprising that they have done some things that are sorry for their conscience.

500 million is a huge fortune for those who provide jade, and for those who want to buy jade, isn't it a hemorrhage?

It would be great if there was a way to get jade without bleeding.

As soon as Qin Shuang and Ah Chen entered, they found that there were several directions in the hall that looked at them, and these eyes all revealed a little malice.

One direction of malice is the most obvious.

Qin Shuang and Ah Chen casually looked in that direction, and happened to see a short, middle-aged man who was a little fat, and the man's eyes also wore a pair of small, black round glasses, which were similar to the glasses worn by some bookkeepers in costume TV dramas that they occasionally saw on TV.

The man also had two mustaches under his nose, his eyes were narrow and hanging, and he only stared at people to reveal a kind of ill will that could not be hidden, and after finding Zhang Aizhi and them coming in, he looked at the only woman in their group, Qin Shuang, with an extremely disgusting gaze.

That kind of look made Ah Chen, who was already slightly cold, quickly flash a trace of killing intent in his eyes.

In terms of first impressions, the image of a gentle and generous old collector given to them by Zhang Oizhi, this black-hearted businessman is simply like a dirty rat!

Zhang Aizhi also saw the short man, and he didn't mean to say hello at all, but went in the opposite direction, and when he met some jewelers or other collectors he had dealt with before, he would take the initiative to introduce them to the identities of Qin Shuang and Ah Chen.

"This is Zhang's old friend son and his wife, this time bring them over to see the world."

"Xuanchen, Qin Shuang, this is Zheng Lao, and he is also a very famous collector in the collecting world, and he once bought several very precious antiques from abroad, all of which were dedicated to the Imperial Capital Museum, which is very respectable."

The old man known as Zheng Lao waved his hand and said helplessly: "Lao Zhang, where are you talking about, aren't you scolding me, compared to you, I am far behind." ”

"It's all about doing something for the country, so there's no difference between high and low."

"That's right."

"And this is a well-known jeweler in Haishi, and this is ......" Zhang Aizhi introduced four or five people to Qin Shuang and Ah Chen in a row, and by the way, he also told each other their names.

Among the four or five people, it was said that an old man who owned an antique shop asked curiously, "Xiao Xuan, Xiao Qin, I don't mind calling you that, do you?" ”

Qin Shuang and Ah Chen just shook their heads, these people could see that they had some friendship with Zhang Aizhi, maybe this friendship was not too deep, but it must be no grievances, and the character was also good, so they could make friends.

"I wonder what business you two do? This time, are there any eye-catching auction items at the auction? The man who spoke casually glanced at Qin Shuang's neck, saw the small pendant on it that was clearly imperial green, and asked thoughtfully.

Ah Chen nodded slightly to the man politely, and said: "My family is also in the jade business, this time I followed Zhang Lao over, had a good time, and prepared to send two fairly good jade stones to auction, as for whether there is anything else of interest, I have to see the real thing to judge." ”

In fact, they are just here to make money, and they don't plan to spend money at all! No matter how good things are, there are so many products in their mall, is there anything missing?

The two pieces of jade with excellent texture in Zhang Aizhi's hand are countless in various sizes of the same quality in the mall, and they can be bought with just a few thousand points.

Really! The man who spoke was overjoyed, and he really guessed correctly!?

Zhang Aizhi was also quite surprised, of course he also saw the delicate pendant worn by Qin Shuang, looking at the color of the jade, it was no worse than the imperial green he was going to auction, and thought that Qin Shuang happened to come from nowhere to such a pendant, and brought it out in response to the occasion, but he didn't expect Ah Chen to directly say that he was in the jade business?

In this way, the 'gadgets' that I said I was going to sell should be the jade that I was referring to, right? Could it be that these two people really have a lot of high-quality jade in their hands? In addition to being a mercenary, he is also engaged in a side business to sell jade?

The others didn't notice the strangeness on Zhang Aizhi's face at that moment, three of these four or five people were also collectors who were doing jade-related business or interested in jade, this time they were also running for Zhang Aizhi's Laokeng glass species and imperial green, and they also prepared sufficient funds, and at this time they heard that these two juniors were actually in the jade business, and they couldn't help but light up their eyes slightly.

Since the family is specialized in this business, it must be modest to say that it is necessary to send a fairly good jade, if the quality is average, after knowing that Zhang Laobao has basically two kinds of jade of the same level, can he be embarrassed to take things out?

Several people are a little itchy in their hearts, and want to ask them what kind of jade they want to auction, in case it is really a good thing, maybe they have to hurry up and find a way to turn over a little money, so as not to look at Baoshan and return empty-handed, and they must not regret to die!

It's a pity that Qin Shuang and Ah Chen didn't plan to experience the details of their auction items, but they just wanted to keep a little suspense.

But some hints have been given, such as suing these people, the jade they are going to take out is not as big as Zhang Aizhi's two top jade, they are relatively small, the largest can only barely make a set of jewelry, and the smaller one may only be enough to make a necklace and a wrench.

I thought that these people might be disappointed, but they didn't think about it, but they actually became happy!

Ah Chen didn't quite understand what their mentality was, but Qin Shuang explained it in his ear.

Speaking of which, it has something to do with money.

These people only knew that there would be two kinds of top-grade jade sent by Zhang Lao at this auction, so the funds prepared were basically only prepared according to the standards of the auction of these two jades, maybe they prepared some extra to make themselves more sure, but there was definitely no surplus left.

If the jade they take out is too big and the price is too high, these people can only sigh or temporarily find a way to mobilize funds, but these are not very reliable.

But if the jade is very small and the texture is high, it will definitely not be comparable with Zhang Lao's jade with hundreds of millions of dollars, and the remaining funds they have to prepare, not to mention that they can shoot all the jade, but it is estimated that there is no problem with one or two more shots.

After talking to these people for a while, Zhang Aizhi changed positions and continued to talk with others, and in ten minutes, Qin Shuang and Ah Chen followed to meet more than a dozen people, some of whom Zhang Aizhi took the initiative to introduce, and some came up to introduce themselves and inquire about the identities of Qin Shuang and Ah Chen.

The identity of these people may be collectors, or jewelers, antique dealers, and some have underworld backgrounds, and they have no vision for appreciating treasures, just to join in the fun.

Although it is difficult to get an invitation to this kind of underground auction, there are always one or two lucky nouveau riche who can get their hands on it, and then follow it to open their eyes and brag about it to others after the auction is over.

Qin Shuang and Ah Chen can judge the relationship between these people and Zhang Aizhi according to Zhang Aizhi's attitude, and whether they are worthy of their attention.

also took advantage of this opportunity, and the two of them looked at the people standing in the direction that had exuded malice before.

Let's not mention it first, at least let Xiao Qi use the scanning system to carefully scan these people's bodies to see if they or the people around them are carrying some special things.

Out of respect for the guests, the banquet hall did not search or scan their bodies for dangerous items, such as weapons, but because it is said that the power behind the auctioneer is very strong, the guests who come to the auction, even if they are underworld bosses, will not cause trouble.

However, it is necessary to be prepared.

[Master, these people are really dishonest, almost all the bodyguards around them are carrying dangerous items. Xiao Qi sighed twice.

Qin Shuang and Ah Chen glanced at the things on the bodyguards brought by those people provided by Xiao Qi, pistols, steel needles, fishing lines, and mystery elixirs? There are a lot of things to bring.

If the identity background itself is not clean, it is understandable to bring more things, but a normal businessman still asks the bodyguard to bring these messy things, even if the pistol is forgotten, and the steel needle fishing line? How does this look like something a killer is more likely to use? These people aren't sick in the brain, are they?

It's just to participate in an auction, even if you want to steal and grab the auction items, is it possible that you still want to attack people in a frenzy?

After determining what these people were carrying, Qin Shuang and Ah Chen looked away, and seeing that Zhang Aizhi still had to talk to some people, they said hello and walked to a place where there were fewer people.

They are here to protect the jade from being stolen, there are people in the hotel room who are watching, here, but there is no need to follow Zhang Aizhi at any time, anyway, after such a while, many people have been told their identities by word of mouth.

The two of them walked over to a round table, took an empty plate in their hands, and took some food to eat, and as they seemed to be chatting, they quietly looked in the direction they had not yet seen.

It didn't take long for the disguised Skywolf, Kane, Shaw, and Venus to be spotted.

Sirius and Venus pretend to be a couple, Kane and Shaw, look like one is a bodyguard, the other is a secretary, Kane also deliberately dyed his hair black today, otherwise the blonde hair will be too eye-catching, and it will be easy for the crows to find something.

The four of them all changed their faces, using the beasts to give them, different from the other kind of disguised fake skin of the Yi Rong Dan, the effect is not much worse than the Yi Rong Dan, the price is similar, the advantage is that it can last longer, the disadvantage, the face with a skin will definitely not be comfortable.

But at least, with such a disguise, except for Qin Shuang and Ah Chen, who had long known what kind of skin they had taken, it was really difficult for others to recognize them unless they were really very familiar with them.

After both sides noticed each other's deposits, they exchanged silently with their eyes, Qin Shuang saw the gesture given to them by the heavenly wolf, and knew that the black crow's person had also arrived.

But the strange thing is that when they looked at the black-hearted merchant just now, they didn't see anyone who seemed to be a black crow.

There is only one female companion next to the businessman who looks a little familiar and seems to be an actress, and the other looks similar to the black-hearted businessman, looking at a rather sinister secretary, these two people don't look like a member of the world's top mercenary group Black Crow.

In fact, they are not.

Not long after Qin Shuang, Ah Chen and the four of them met their eyes, Ah Chen suddenly touched her waist and said in a low voice, "It's here." ”

Qin Shuang's expression moved, and he pretended to sweep towards the door inadvertently, and sure enough, he saw a few familiar young people walking into the banquet hall with expressionless faces or seemingly arrogant faces.

These people are all dressed in black suits of bodyguards, and you can tell what their identities are at a glance...... What identity to play.

As expected, after these people arrived, they glanced around the hall and also saw Qin Shuang and Ah Chen, but because they didn't know their faces at all, they didn't stay long and looked away, and finally saw the black-hearted businessman and went straight towards that person.

Qin Shuang covered her lips with a champagne glass and said to Ah Chen, "This time the black crow seems to be determined to win?" The head of the crow actually came over in person. ”

Ah Chen chuckled, "Maybe the troubles we have caused to the crow during this time have given them a headache, and they want to take advantage of this opportunity to make more money, and by the way, save the reputation of the crow?" ”

In addition to the comprehensive strength, the ranking of the mercenary group should also be calculated according to the success rate of completing the task, Dawn has been constantly improving its strength, and the task completion rate is also notoriously high in the industry.

If there are some problems within the crow, one after another mistakes go wrong, and the news that the task completion rate has dropped significantly, Dawn may take advantage of the situation and come to 'take advantage of your illness and kill you'.

The leader of the crows is ambitious, and he has been sitting in the first position for so long, how can he bear the dawn to top them? Come here in person, in fact, it's not too much of a surprise, didn't you see that the wolf on their side is also here, if this happens, but it is a king-to-king, the pinnacle duel in the mercenary world.

Qin Shuang couldn't help but want to whistle.

If you count her, the previous 'king', this play will be even more exciting, there are six crows coming in, it seems that they are temporarily equal in number, but you have to pick up the combat effectiveness, except for the head of the crow, but I don't see the shadow of the deputy head of the group, too, the head of the group is here, but the deputy head of the group has to stay and arrange hundreds of other mercenaries, right?

In this way, there are at least three people on their side who have similar combat strength to the leader of the black crow, she, Ah Chen, and Sky Wolf, no matter how you look at it, they have the advantage.

There is also an advantage of the enemy and the enemy, they all recognize the people of the crow, but the crow doesn't know that this time the dawn is also lively, and when they find out, this thing will be interesting.

Before, the black-hearted businessman only talked to a few people who seemed to smell like him on the other side, but when the black-crow's man came, the person obviously showed a little joy, and after talking to the black-crow leader for a while, he went straight to Zhang Aizhi, who was talking to Zheng Lao and a few other people, looking at the eager look, it was obvious that the person who came was not good.

Qin Shuang and Ah Chen glanced at each other, and also walked over to Zhang Aizhi's side, and secretly gestured to the sky wolf as they walked, asking them to pay attention to remind Ah Yan that the black crow is infested, and Zhang Aizhi's room is a little careful, maybe the black crow has already sent someone over to steal the jade.

When Qin Shuang and Ah Chen walked up to Zhang Aizhi, they happened to hear the black-hearted businessman named Zhou Ming say to Zhang Aizhi in a disgusting tone: "Elder Zhang, you are really lucky, obviously you are not a layman who plays gambling stones, but you actually accidentally solved a jade of this grade of imperial green, why don't I have this kind of luck." ”

Zhang Aizhi had a cold face, and it was not uncommon to deal with people like Zhou Ming who tried to rob him of his jade by despicable means.

If he goes to the auction through the normal process and takes out enough money, Zhang Aizhi really doesn't care who the person who took the jade is, although he also thinks that the two pieces of jade are indeed very beautiful, but as Zhou Ming said, he is not too interested in jade, and he is more willing to get more funds to recover more antique relics with real historical value.

No matter who took the jade away, as long as he gave him the money, he didn't care what the other party's character was, if he was really a person who did all kinds of bad things, he used the money to do some good things, which could be regarded as accumulating yin virtue for the other party.

Zhang Lao didn't speak, Zheng Lao next to him and the others also vaguely heard about Zhou Ming's bad reputation, and some people who rumored about this auction would not sit idly by, one by one or sneered at Zhou Ming, and some directly said that Zhou Ming, a person with bad conduct, would never encounter such a good thing in his life, and said that Zhou Ming's face was quite ugly.

But these people present, in terms of identity and background, are not weaker than Zhou Ming, Zhou Ming is mainly rich and nouveau riche? I like to spend money to find some people to do bad things, but this person is not stupid, and every time he finishes it, he will rarely leave a handle on people, so that people know that some things are done by him, and they can't do anything to him, and it's very annoying to slip or not.

But Zhou Ming didn't dare to make a move on some people he couldn't provoke, at most, he was disgusting and disgusting, just like now.

While Zhou Ming and those people were choking, the head of the black crow and the other black crows standing behind him didn't seem to hear it, and they didn't intend to help their patron speak this time.

It is estimated that it is also because they are affected by their employers if they want to get their hands on the jade, and these verbal disputes are not within their 'scope of service', and Zhou Ming did not think of using them in this matter, especially in front of Zhang Aizhi.

He also knows what it means to 'fight the grass and scare the snake', even if he wants to be angry, he should wait for him to brush and save his sense in front of him after he succeeds.

Qin Shuang and Ah Chen didn't plan to interject, so they naturally paid attention to the black crow when they had nothing to do.

The head of the black crow's code name is Black Crow, a thirty-five or sixteen-year-old mixed-race man with brown hair and brown eyes, who looks very average, but his body follows the genes of foreigners, he is very burly, and his height is one meter nine and nearly two meters, and he looks like a high mountain.

The hidden muscles under the black suit, as well as a pair of long, narrow eyes that reveal cruelty, make people dare not underestimate him.

It is said that he was not the orthodox heir of the rich father, because his mother was just a very ordinary woman in Huaguo, and she met him Lao Tzu when she traveled abroad, and then she had him overnight, and he was the illegitimate son of the rich man.

It is said that the sons and daughters born to his wife and mistress add up to more than a dozen, and the black crow is the most inconspicuous one in it, and other illegitimate children have mistresses to help them plan, but he is a mother who hemorrhaged heavily when he gave birth to him, the small one lived, and the big one went directly, and he was brought to the rich family since he was a child, but there was never anyone around him who could help him.

In this way, in the end, after the death of the rich man, he beat all the orthodox heirs or other competitors, and got almost all of the rich man's inheritance.

It is said that several children died in the rich man's family during the fight, but it is not clear how many of them were made by the crow, maybe they were all done by him, or maybe they were not made by him, anyway, he was the only one who got all the cheap in the end, and the other sons and daughters, the daughter could barely live well when she got married, but his brothers had a miserable life.

Even if he is still alive, he must have bullied the best bullies since he was a child, thinking about the crow's ruthless style, he can spare his 'good brothers'?

Of course, these have nothing to do with Qin Shuang or Ah Chen, they don't care about the black crow's family affairs at all, they just need to know through these that the black crow is ruthless, and he is not a good stubble.

No matter how subtle Qin Shuang and Ah Chen's gaze was, they could detect it with the crow's keenness, and they easily caught eye with them.

The first two adjusted their expressions at the right time, and they only looked like they had attracted their attention because the crow was much more burly than the Chinese, and they didn't seem to have guessed the identity of the other party and had a calculation.

Although the black crow had just arrived, he also had a rough idea of the people in the banquet hall, and knew the identities of Qin Shuang and Ah Chen, but he still didn't know that he was stumbling on the black crow in secret, so he didn't suspect these two faces who suddenly appeared next to Zhang Aizhi.

I heard that these two people are also in the jade business at home, and Qin Shuang does have an imperial green pendant around his neck that ordinary people can't get, so he won't suspect anything.

However, there is no idea of what to say, and it is impossible.

The remuneration negotiated between the black crow and Zhou Ming, in addition to a part of the commission, is one-third of the old pit glass species! The appetite is not small.

But Zhou Ming couldn't get those two pieces of jade by his own ability, no matter how distressed he was, he could only nod and agree, and he didn't dare to play any small tricks to offend the crow.

But it is impossible for the imperial green to be given to the black crow, because the jade of the imperial green itself is much smaller than the glass species, and Zhou Ming himself is not enough to sell it for jewelry, so how can he be willing to give it to the black crow.

The crow wasn't greedy enough to want both, and it was a pity that he couldn't make another fortune before today, but now it'......

His eyes swept to the emperor green jade pendant on Qin Shuang's neck, which was not big or small, and could be worth at least tens of millions if he sold it, and his eyes narrowed unconsciously.

I heard that these two people are in the jade business at home, and they plan to take out a few pieces of jade for auction this time? It's a great opportunity to make money.

As long as they don't let others know that it was their crow mercenary group that did it, it won't do any damage to their reputation.

The time that the black crow was the head of the regiment was about the same as Qin Shuang, so Qin Shuang knew the other party quite well, and when he saw the change in his expression, he knew what the other party was thinking, would he say that he was surprised? Not.

Part of the reason why she wore this jade pendant was to attract the attention of the crow.

This time, they just wanted to pit the crow again, and by the way, they directly declared war on the crow, if he didn't take the initiative to come over, how would they calculate him?

Ah Chen also knew her intentions, but when she saw the black crow staring straight at her collarbone, her face was still dark, and she unceremoniously glared at the black crow with an unkind gaze, and expressed her displeasure.

Anyway, as long as he doesn't leak out the murderous aura, and the momentum is too outward, it is impossible for the black crow to find out that there is anything wrong with him.

Staring at other people's wives non-stop, is it not good to be a husband?

After the black crow found Ah Chen's expression, he quickly figured it out, the corners of his mouth pulled slightly, raised an arc that seemed to reveal disdain, and looked away calmly.

What woman has he never seen and played? Is it not good to look like this, or is it a product that has been played by others?

It's also a shame that Qin Shuang and Ah Chen don't have any mind reading skills, and they don't know what the crow thinks, although they can see that he doesn't look down on Qin Shuang's current appearance, they still don't know his kind of thinking that makes people angry, otherwise, Ah Chen would have to tear down the crow alive!
