Chapter 3: The Vault of the Dragon Palace
It didn't take long.
Lu Xuan bypassed the huge flight test center and came to the vicinity of the "audience seat" specially prepared for TPC's internal employees.
Most of the people who are able to sit in these "auditoriums" come to select members of their own departments.
Unlike the star organizations within the TPC like the Victory Team, the people sitting here are not qualified and do not need the top pilots.
"Is there something going on in such a hurry to find me?"
Walked to a middle-aged man next to the "auditorium".
Lu Xuan's expression at the moment was very calm, even a little ridiculous.
"If I'm not mistaken, you didn't hesitate to turn down the Galvin Corporation."
Hearing Lu Xuan's words, the middle-aged man smiled helplessly.
"From the moment I didn't refuse your help, I knew that sooner or later I would have such a day."
The middle-aged man's name is Iwama, and he is a team leader in the TPC marine survey team.
However, in addition to this superficial identity, Iwama has another identity, which is a spy pawn that Galvin has planted inside TPC.
Or rather, it was Iwama who accepted an "investment" from Lu Xuan.
At that time, Iwama's wife and daughter were seriously ill, and it happened that Galvin was able to treat their injuries.
So it was logical that Galvin got in touch with the captain of the oceanographic survey team.
"Sure enough, I'm in trouble......
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have thought of asking Galvin for help."
Unexpectedly, he shook his head, but Lu Xuan didn't show any obvious ridicule about it.
After all, Lu Xuan spent a lot of money on Iwama, but the other party decisively rejected the follow-up arrangements of Galvin after his wife and daughter recovered from their injuries.
Such an act can no longer be described as crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, it is simply treacherous.
It is also said that Lu Xuan is not a real capitalist, and he does not have that kind of character that must be compared.
Otherwise, Galvin Company could have relied on this handle to control Iwama, so that he would never turn over for the rest of his life.
"President Tony, I know that your clique has been working on various paranormal phenomena......"
"I have a new discovery here, and you must be interested."
Obviously, he also knew how shameful his previous actions were.
When Iwama said this, he always maintained a cautious appearance.
"Don't pretend to be such a pitiful look in front of me, I don't eat this."
Hearing this, Lu Xuan suddenly appeared with a sneer.
If it weren't for knowing that Iwama still had information worth extracting, Lu Xuan wouldn't have taken the time to see him this time.
"Let me guess if you got some clues from me last time......"
"Then you went to investigate secretly, and what kind of mess did you get into?"
As soon as these words came out, Iwama fell silent for an instant.
From the very beginning, the Galvin Company never concealed its intentions.
During the first contact with Iwama, Galvin made it clear that the other party had a top-secret document in his possession.
As a result, after Galvin treated Iwama's wife and daughter.
Although he handed over the documents that Galvin wanted, he withheld some of the key details.
In fact, Lu Xuan was able to understand Iwanma's caution and concern.
After all, the other party is a member of the TPC marine survey team, and disobeying the information handed over by the superiors can be regarded as a betrayal to a certain extent.
If it weren't for the treatment of his wife and daughter, Iwama probably wouldn't have had anything to do with Galvin in his life.
"President Tony, I know I was scheming last time."
"But this time, no matter what, please help me again, and I'm willing to pay any price for it!"
In the absence of the previous kind of official tone and slippery anymore.
At this moment, Iwama seemed extremely sincere, and the tears in his eyes could not be faked in any way.
"They...... Eyeing your wife and daughter? ”
I was able to make Iwama, who is half a politician, look like this.
Lu Xuan felt that there should be no other possibility besides the other party's wife and daughter.
Since they were able to take advantage of the serious illness of Iwama's wife and daughter, it was impossible for "them" who were more proficient in human psychology not to discover this.
"You know what it is!"
Hearing this, Iwama, who was full of joy and sorrow, finally relieved his heart.
Originally, he just approached Galvin with the mentality of giving it a try.
Now it seems that the other party does know more about those ghosts than he does.
"This is not the place to talk, let's find a safe place to talk!"
Looking around noncommittally, Lu Xuan said in an unquestionable tone.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………
A moment later, in a café outside the air base.
Lu Xuan and Iwama sat opposite each other, but the atmosphere was surprisingly dull.
"Say it!"
On the surface, he seemed to be looking at Iwama with interest, but Lu Xuan's gaze inadvertently swept over the aviation base outside.
"While I still have time, tell me everything that happened to you."
Slightly stunned, Iwama looked at Lu Xuan, who looked indifferent, and couldn't help muttering in his heart.
Because this is completely different from what Iwama imagined, it even made him feel inexplicably creepy.
"Uh, is it right here?"
This café has a great atmosphere, but it's clearly not a great place to keep secret.
Just looking at Lu Xuan's eyes, Iwama suddenly gave up the next words of defense.
I don't know if it's an illusion on the part of the rock, but he always feels like a hyena obediently entering a cage, and opposite him is a male lion in the prime of life.
"Do you remember the last time someone asked me for the information?"
"It's the information about the 'Dragon Palace' that I did hide something."
Carefully took out an old photo from his pocket, and spread it out little by little in Iwama and placed it in front of Lu Xuan.
"In fact, in addition to the written record after the fact, there is also a well-preserved photograph."
Six full years had passed, and the pixels of the camera were too low.
So Lu Xuan could only barely see that this photo seemed to have been taken in a certain dock.
The main scene of the photograph is a huge box, which is surrounded by five men dressed as crew members or explorers.
"This is the photo at that time, and it is the only evidence that can prove that the 'Dragon Palace' really exists."
With Iwama's narration, a thriller adventure story that took place in the early days of TPC's establishment gradually took shape in Lu Xuan's mind.
