Chapter 138: The Black Market

As soon as Zhu Ping'an and Xuanwu came to the edge of the dungeon, they encountered an incident. A child who stole someone else's bun was caught up by the victim and was about to smash it with a stick. Seeing that the child was about to be poisoned, at this critical moment, he only heard a "pop", and the falling stick was caught by a man empty-handed. The fat man looked at it and saw a young man of medium stature standing there, with black curly hair, heroic and magnificent.

"Stop!" said Zhu Ping'an.

"What are you doing, want to be nosy?" cried the fat man rudely.

"Why do you want to hit someone?" Zhu Ping'an asked.

"You are blind, can't you see that he stole my bun?" said the fat man to Ping'an.

"A bun is worth a few dollars, he is so small, wasn't he broken by you?" Zhu Ping'an was very unaccustomed to this kind of bullying.

"Bad?" the fat man looked at Zhu Ping'an with disdain, and was surprised by his thoughts: "In this marginal area, no one cares about killing people!"

"How can this be?" Zhu Ping'an listened to his words, and his heart "chuckled".

"How much is the bun, I'll give it for him!" Zhu Ping'an said and took out his pocket, took out the wallet in his pocket, and opened it to the fat man: "Are these enough?"

The fat man was really a master who saw money, his two eyes narrowed into a thin slit in an instant, and he grinned: "Enough, enough, that's right!" As he spoke, he put down the foot on the child, walked over, and was about to reach out for Ping'an's wallet.

At this moment, the child on the ground got up with a grunt, grabbed Ping'an's wallet in front of the fat man.

"What for?" said the fat man angrily at the child.

"Less deception, you don't need that much money at all. The boy said, pulled out two sheets from Ping'an's wallet, and threw them to the fat man opposite: "That's all, it's all for you!"

"Stinky thief, what nonsense?" said the fat man, and was about to rush forward.

At this moment, a deep voice sounded behind him: "Is that kid telling the truth? Don't take us for fools!"

The fat man looked back and saw a tall, burly man standing there, staring at him with sharp eyes. The fat man knew that he had encountered a hard stubble and couldn't afford to provoke it, so he wanted to accept it when he saw it, so he glared at the child fiercely, shook his hand and ran away.

The child handed the wallet back to Ping An and picked up the mud-stained bun from the ground.

"The buns are already dirty, how can I eat them?" Zhu Ping'an came to the child and squatted down, looking at the child, he had big eyes, black hair, and a red chubby face, and he was very cute. Ping An wiped the mud off his face with his hands, and took out a handful of Shi Yuan from his wallet and stuffed it into his hand: "Go buy some clean food, don't steal anything in the future!" After speaking, Ping An glanced at Xuanwu beside him, and the two turned around and walked forward.

After the child left safely, he picked up the dirty buns from the ground, put them in his mouth, and chewed them vigorously, but his eyes kept staring at the back of Ping'an's gradual distancing.

Xuanwu walked forward not far with Ping'an, came to a relatively eye-catching tall building in the marginal area, pointed here and said to Ping'an: "It's finally here, this is where we are going, the core of the marginal area, the ghost domain - Fengdu!"

Ping An looked up, this octagonal and exquisite pagoda-shaped building, not high to the top, bright throughout, from the outside can be heard from a long distance from the inside.

"Let's go, let's go inside. Xuanwu greeted Ping'an, and Ping'an walked into Fengdu one after another. There was a row of heavily armed guards standing at the door, and two big men stopped them and scanned them from top to bottom with a scanner to make sure they were not carrying dangerous items before letting them in.

Zhu Ping'an was surprised that Xuanwu's mechanical armor arm had not been found, and he said to Xuanwu beside him as he walked, "Mr. Xuanwu, your arm?"

Xuanwu smiled: "For this long trip, I deliberately replaced the electronic mechanical armor metal arm with a bionic artificial muscle tissue arm. However, because of this, my combat power has decreased significantly, and I can neither use the armed system nor use alchemy for the time being. ”

"It's understandable that you can't use an armed system, but why can't even alchemy?" Zhu Ping'an didn't understand.

"Because the artificial muscle tissue can't be loaded with the alchemist's array seal!" Xuanwu replied to Ping'an, but Zhu Ping'an still didn't quite understand.

"When I have time in the future, I will explain it to you slowly. Xuanwu smiled at Ping'an.

The two of them talked and talked, and they had already walked into it through the corridor, and an entrance appeared in front of them, and it was only when they walked inside that they really realized why this Fengdu was called the core of the fringe area.

It was a large hall, already crowded with dense people, and in the middle of the hall there was a long booth with various items on the stand, and a cockscomb-headed man was shouting something by his neck. Ping'an and Xuanwu hurriedly squeezed into the crowd and walked over.

"No. FH5712, a pair of jade mandarin duck bracelets stolen from the tomb of the ancient emperor, starting at 80,000 yuan. "It turned out that the man with the cockscomb head was the host of the black market auction and was auctioning off the exhibits.

"What? It's so cheap?" Zhu Ping'an's heart couldn't help but be shocked, and blurted out, he didn't expect these priceless cultural relics to be worth only such a cabbage price, and they were not as high as the registration fee for the fighting arena.

"Boy, are you stupid, in this place, antiques and cultural relics or something, no matter how valuable they are, what do people who can't even guarantee food and clothing need most is something that can bring them strength and power, like weapons, equipment, medicines, etc., that is what we crave the most. There was a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks standing next to Zhu Ping'an, and when he heard Ping'an's exclamation, he sneered at him and laughed at him.

Xuanwu pulled Ping'an and rushed to the nearest place in the audience, and grabbed the ankle of the cockscomb-headed man on the stage.

The host was talking so much that the stars splashed around, and he threw himself into his host auction, when he was suddenly grabbed by the ankle, and he was so frightened that he shivered. He looked down, carefully identifying the appearance of Xuanwu grabbing his trouser legs.

"Why, don't you recognize me, Flynn!" as soon as Xuanwu's words came out, the auction host, known as Flynn, couldn't help but cheer.

"Are you Lord Zhiming?" Flynn asked in a low voice as he crouched down, leaning his face in front of Xuanwu.

"Hey, what are you doing? Are you still selling?" came a burst of impatient urging voices from the audience.

"Lord Zhiming, you wait for me first, let me finish this transaction first!" Flynn whispered to Xuanwu, straightened up, and shouted below: "Okay, okay, you bastards, the price starts at 80,000, and the auction starts now!"

"1 million!" Before anyone else could speak, Xuanwu opened his mouth and turned it out, and there was a moment of silence in the audience, and then they began to talk about each other.

"Lord Zhiming, what are you kidding?" Flynn was also shocked by Xuanwu's actions, and even Zhu Ping'an, who was beside Xuanwu, didn't understand which one Xuanwu was playing.

"Hey, you guy, you're not here to make trouble, are you?" said a disgruntled member of the crowd at Xuanwu.

Xuanwu smiled slightly, jumped onto the booth with his legs raised, and shouted at the crowd below: "Today, all the lots in this first-tier auction, no matter what they are, how much they are worth, I will pay 100 million yuan, all inclusive!"

There was another bang in the audience, like an explosion of the pot.

"Lord Zhiming, don't be joking, the people here are crazy, if you provoke the anger of the public, even I can't mix here!" Xuanwu's words frightened Flynn and hurriedly dissuaded him.

"I'm not kidding," Xuanwu finished speaking, took out a World Bank electronic card from his arms, shook it, and said in front of everyone: "If you don't believe it, you can verify it on the spot and see if I have 100 million in this card!" After speaking, he handed the card in his hand to Flynn. Flynn took the card tremblingly, and in front of everyone, he passed it over the card machine, and the balance in the card was clearly listed on the monitor on the large screen, and there was really 100 million.

"I didn't expect Mr. Xuanwu to be so rich!" Even Ping'an in the audience didn't expect that Xuanwu really had 100 million.

"Really, there's really a billion!" Flynn announced, pointing to the big screen.

"Okay, everyone can disperse!" Xuanwu said to everyone on the stage, pulling Flynn to the back, and Zhu Ping'an hurriedly followed.

"Who is that guy?" the people in the audience were still speculating about Xuanwu's identity.

"The rich second generation of the rich and the loser!" the crowd muttered, and gradually dispersed unhappily.

Xuanwu pulled Flynn behind and said to him, "Flynn, do you remember how you got here?"

"How could I forget, if it weren't for your protection of me, Lord Zhiming, my tongue would have been hung on their walls by those gangsters!" Flynn replied gratefully. Later, I was transferred to Huaguo, changed my name and surname, changed my identity, although my current identity is not particularly clean, but I live a stable life, my life is also very comfortable, money, not less earning, by the way, my current name is not Flynn, my new name is Hua Liuwen, how about it, is it very Chinese culture?" After speaking, Flynn grinned at Xuanwu and smirked.

Zhu Ping'an next to him heard his new name, and almost didn't laugh out, this name is extremely dirty and filthy, it's not a human name at all!

Xuanwu looked at him, his face was sinking like water, and he was expressionless.

Seeing Xuanwu's attitude, Flynn knew that something was wrong, so he quickly put away his smile and asked Xuanwu cautiously: "Lord Zhiming, what are you coming to me for?"

Only then did Xuanwu tell Flynn his true intentions: "Flynn, we want Yu Lan liquid!"

"What?" Flynn listened as if he had been struck by electricity, and couldn't help but be shocked and subconsciously pushed a few steps back.

"Do you have one?" asked Xuanwu.

"How could I have such a thing?" said Flynn with a quick wave of his hand.

"Oh, really?" asked Xuanwu then, testing Flynn.

"Really, I really don't, how can I lie to my savior?" Flynn quickly explained. "That thing is a super life-sustaining drug developed by the Chinese government's scientific research institutions, which is only used by the highest level and a few important people, and is said to have the ability to save lives and prolong life. ”

"Sure enough, what the intelligence said is true, which is why Qinglong must get this medicine, with this medicine, he can maintain his son's life. Xuanwu thought to himself.

"But, then, Lord Zhiming, why do you have to get this medicine?" Flynn wondered.

"You don't need to know why, you just tell me where to go, how can I find this medicine?" asked Xuanwu then.

"As far as I know, this medicine is only available in a secret vault in the central government research laboratory in the capital, but it is impossible for outsiders to enter the heavily guarded and impregnable interior. Flynn told Xuanwu.

"Of course I know what you're saying, but my intelligence tells me that every year some Ula liquid is secretly sold on the black market, right?" Xuanwu looked into Flynn's eyes, and Flynn frowned when he listened to Xuanwu's words, obviously dodging and evading.

"Really?" Xuanwu continued to ask.

"Well, there is such a thing, but such a big deal is not something that I, a low-level businessman, can intervene in. Flynn finally told the truth.

"Tell me the truth of the matter. Xuanwu said.

"Yang Demon!" Flynn said the name, "That man is the real head of Fengdu and the master of this marginal area, and it is said that even the high-ranking officials in the government have colluded with him. All official treasures, especially the top items, enter the black market through the channel of Yang Demon, and then sell them to the rich people all over the country and even the world at a high price. ”

"Yang Demon, where is he?" Xuanwu hurriedly asked.

"On the top floor of this Fengdu pagoda, the seventh floor. Flynn replied. "If you want to see him, you have to follow the rules of Fengdu, either through black market gambling or through government channels, and nothing else is possible. ”

"It seems that the government has little hope, what is that black market gambling you are talking about?" Xuanwu wanted to know a little more clearly.

"Yang Demon is a good gambler, and he doesn't want to admit defeat. At this time of year, he would put all kinds of treasures imported from government channels into black market boxing tournaments, with the aim of making himself more wealthy through black market boxing, and at the same time enjoying the thrill of winning for gamblers!" Flynn said.

"So, will that medicine also be used as one of the bets?" Zhu Ping'an heard Flynn's words, and hurriedly stepped forward excitedly and asked.

"This," Flynn looked at the young man in front of him, stunned for a moment.

"It's my partner, but it doesn't hurt to say it. Xuanwu told Flynn.

"I don't know, but you can give it a try. Flynn replied.

"That's what it looks like. Xuanwu thought carefully, sorted out this series of information in his mind, and came up with a clue.

"Flynn, give me your number. Xuanwu looked up and said to Flynn. Flynn hurriedly pulled out his phone and handed it over. Xuanwu took Flynn's phone and asked Flynn, "Do you have any other phones?" Flynn pulled out another phone.

"Yo, you've got a lot of phone calls!" said Xuanwu.

"Businessman, more phone calls, more business opportunities and customers!" Flynn smiled.

"Use your phone number, call this phone. Xuanwu ordered, and Flynn did so.

Sure enough, the phone in Xuanwu's hand rang.

Xuanwu hung up the phone, raised his hand, and said to Flynn, "Okay, let's go back and discuss it first, and then come to you when we have a good countermeasure, you just wait for our call." ”

"Well, okay, Lord Zhiming. Flynn nodded.

"Thank you. Zhu Ping nodded to Flynn.

"Both," Flynn told Ping An and Xuanwu, "Be careful!" Flynn watched Ping An and Xuanwu leave the place.

The two of them returned to the café again as they had been arranged, and by this time, Suzaku, White Tiger, and Laura were already sitting there. Laura and White Tiger led everyone to the hotel where they had already booked, and everyone entered one of the rooms, and after carefully checking that there was no listening and surveillance equipment, everyone sat around and discussed things.

"How's it going, what's the catch?" said Laura, standing up and asking for peace with concern.

Xuanwu told everyone the information given by Flynn first.

"Suzaku, did you find anything there?" Xuanwu finished speaking, and asked Suzaku again.

Suzaku stood up, and there were bandaging marks on his right arm.

"Mr. Suzaku, what's wrong with you, is something wrong?" Zhu Ping'an hurriedly asked when he saw Suzaku's injury.

"I'm sorry, I may have messed things up. Suzaku replied with a bowed head and an apologetic expression. "I searched in many ways and found the storage of the medicine, I wanted to sneak in to steal the medicine, but I was discovered, and when I fled, I was injured by the pursuers, I am afraid that I have been startled. ”

"However, when I entered the laboratory, I saw a list of shipments, which recorded that a batch of Yulan medicines had been secretly transported yesterday, but did not indicate the destination, I am afraid that it is the Fengdu Pagoda in the marginal area that Xuanwu said, I believe that it has now reached the hands of the person named Yang Demon. "Suzaku has provided a very important piece of information.

After hearing this news, Xuanwu's eyes lit up and he thought of something.

He smiled at Suzaku and replied, "Well done, Suzaku, you've helped a lot!"

"What's going on?" Suzaku didn't understand what Xuanwu meant, and the others were also in a mess.

"Ping'an, have you ever seen a boxing match on the black market before?" Xuanwu suddenly asked Ping'an, and everyone present suddenly realized.

"I'll call Flynn now, and tomorrow morning, we'll go to Fengdu Tower and gamble!" Xuanwu's eyebrows suddenly brightened.
