Blade is the world's number one killer organization, powerful and well-organized, the influence of the nine rounds on Blade is minimal, even if there is negotiation, I am afraid there will be no result.
"It's hard to see the results if you do this, so instead of wasting time and energy, it's better to find a way to strengthen the security measures of Tianyu. In addition, it is also important to find the person who placed the order and offered the reward. Although even the bounty giver is not eligible to cancel the mission once he is on the assassination list of Blades, we must at least find him out and not let him go unpunished. Diao Xuemin suggested.
If there was no information revealed by Lan Tianyu, the Xiangjiang Branch would not have achieved such brilliant results, Diao Xuemin was also very concerned about the safety of Lan Tianyu and wanted to do his part.
"Lao Diao makes a lot of sense!" Jiang Bing still cherishes words like gold.
"There should be very few people who want to kill me and at the same time have the financial resources to pay tens of millions of dollars. The most suspicious ones are Lin Yuanhang and Qin Chengan, check their financial trends, and maybe there will be results. Lan Tianyu said.
"If you're using a domestic bank account, that's fine. I'm afraid that the bounty paid is used in a foreign account, so it will be difficult to check. I tried my best, but I couldn't guarantee that it would work. Diao Xuemin has little confidence in this.
Lan Tianyu said: "It doesn't matter if you can't find out, when I see them, I can find out myself." ”
Once Lan Tianyu finds out who is behind the assassination list, he will definitely retaliate fiercely. Although there is no conclusive evidence yet, he thinks that Lin Yuanhang should not do such a brainless thing. Lin Yuanhang knows the power of blue sky rain hypnosis, and if he is not completely sure, he should not take risks easily.
Qin Chengan also has this financial resources, but there are only some small contradictions between the two, and it seems that he will not be able to make such a big investment, causing Lan Tianyu to die.
If the news of his spiritual ability is leaked, it is likely to become a thorn in the side of the God Organization, and it is not impossible to spend tens of millions of dollars to assassinate him.
Although the Blade Killer Organization is notorious, Lan Tianyu is not very worried.
After obtaining the spatial ability, Lan Tianyu's ability to save his life was greatly enhanced, and he could also use the teleportation technique when encountering a crisis that he couldn't avoid. Of course, until the last minute, Lan Tianyu didn't want to expose his spatial abilities.
Back at the hilltop villa, Lan Tianyu didn't care about being assassinated by a sharp knife bounty, Gu Yun's first auction in Xiangjiang was about to be held, and he didn't have the energy to care about other things.
Although the preparation time is very short, under the active operation of Hu Bin, general manager of Xiangjiang Branch, hundreds of good treasures have been collected, and although the number of lots is still insufficient, the quality of the lots is enough to make up for it.
The auction is divided into three sessions: the antique art auction on Saturday afternoon, the jewelry and jade auction on Sunday morning, and the national treasure auction on Sunday afternoon.
In the past few days, not only Mao Xiaoyu, Hu Bin and others have been busy, but even Lan Tianyu, the big boss who has thrown his hands, has begun to get busy, and there is no time to be idle.
Before the auction began, in order to ensure that those national treasure-level cultural relics would not be lost abroad, Lan Tianyu made some special arrangements.
If the national treasure-level cultural relics of Huaguo are finally auctioned by domestic collectors or wealthy people, there is no need to stop the bid; If it was auctioned by a foreign collector or a wealthy man, he arranged for Xie Huajie and Zhao Wenhai to block the bid. Xie Huajie and Zhao Wenhai secretly contacted several people through their own relationships, and these celebrities and rich people blocked the bids respectively, which would not arouse suspicion.
The national treasures auctioned are basically the personal belongings of Lan Tianyu, and after the bidding, it is equivalent to the failed bid, and there will be no loss from Lantian Rain.
