"My name is Su Xiaoqiang, and my father is the president of Su's Mineral Energy Group." Su Xiaoqiang spoke with an instinctive sense of pride when mentioning her family background.
Unfortunately, she didn't see the familiar shock in the eyes of the people in front of her.
Because every time I introduced myself like this to others in the past, they were all shocked by my amazing family background.
Su's Minerals & Energy Group is a world-class conglomerate that ranks among the top 50 in the world. Its business mainly involves minerals and various energy sources, which are basically hard currencies all over the world.
Unfortunately, in the eyes of these elite members of the secret society, this family background was nothing special.
Among the board members of Kassel College are Italian mafia leaders, including the Laurent family, who control one of the largest syndicates in Europe.
The Su Group is nothing compared to these behemoths.
"Little sister Su Xiaoqiang, could you tell us in detail what you saw in that house?"
"I……"
Faced with this question, Su Xiaoqiang showed obvious hesitation, while recalling the request the man who had saved her like a divine being had made to her before leaving.
So he changed his story at the last minute, saying, "I was so panicked and scared that I fainted and didn't see anything."
Normally, most people wouldn't suspect that a girl who looks no more than thirteen or fourteen years old would lie in this situation.
however!
Are the "killers" in the executive department ordinary people?
Obviously not!
Su Xiaoqiang's lies were so obvious that their experience made it easy to spot at a glance, and they could further deduce that:
It must have been something the person who vandalized the room specifically told the little girl before leaving.
Just at this time.
A squad member came in from outside and placed a report in front of Renault.
This is the autopsy report of that unfortunate guy who just died. The examination results show that he was indeed a mixed-race person whose bloodline had awakened.
The only problem is that the bloodline level is a bit low, at most half a C-level. After awakening, a hybrid of this level will at most have a body that becomes superhuman, but it will be difficult to release words of power.
However, the report points out one highly suspicious point: the presence of an unknown chemical molecule in the blood of this mixed-race individual.
The effect of this chemical molecule is to greatly stimulate the activity of the dragon bloodline.
To put it bluntly, the specialist in charge of the autopsy suspected that the awakening of the mixed-race person's bloodline was influenced by human intervention.
"If that's the case... then the problem becomes even more complicated!"
Thinking about this gave Renault a huge headache. Tracking the target was already troublesome enough, but now he had gotten caught up in something even more troublesome.
If this method of stimulating blood vessel awakening could be carried out on a large scale, it could very likely cause widespread loss of control.
The secrets of the dragon race, which the secret party has controlled for many years, cannot be hidden for even a moment.
Another point is whether this method of stimulating bloodline awakening is related to their target.
Was it just a chance encounter that led to a heroic rescue?
Or is it that Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was actually aimed at Liu Bang, and that from the very beginning, he was tracking his target with the intention of killing him to silence him?
The whole matter has become complicated due to the lack of available clues.
Renault took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and quickly whispered instructions to his teammates:
“This matter is now a bit beyond our control. You should immediately send this report to Minister Schneider to inquire about the next steps.”
Then, his serious gaze fell on Su Xiaoqiang, who was nervously fiddling with the hem of her clothes.
To put it bluntly, Su Xiaoqiang is the only remaining breakthrough they have.
"Little friend, I hope you understand that this involves a very important matter. We hope you can tell us the details truthfully, otherwise..."
"I...I said I fainted and don't know anything." Su Xiaoqiang stammered in her panic.
Practical questioning technique two: It is best to work in pairs, one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop.
Renault has successfully played the bad cop, now it's He Yin's turn to play the good cop: "How can you be so harsh on a child!"
"I believe that Su Xiaoqiang is a reasonable person who will be able to distinguish right from wrong and tell us the truth of the matter."
How could a naive young girl possibly be a match for the two of them?
Her initially firm belief quickly wavered, but she was still quick-witted enough to say, "You say you're from a government department, I need to see your credentials first!"
This requirement is a perfect match for your major!
The college's executive department had communicated with the domestic authorities in advance when they sent them to China to carry out the mission, and even provided the corresponding identity documents to facilitate their actions.
It doesn't matter if you don't have this identification.
If they wanted to, they could obtain identity documents from various departments around the world in a very short time, and without any discrepancies!
"Look here, little one."
Taking into account racial and skin color issues, they presented Su Xiaoqiang with Interpol credentials.
If Renault, a handsome white European, were to pull out a domestic ID, it would probably look a bit out of place, wouldn't it?
Su Xiaoqiang finally managed to recount everything she had just witnessed in detail.
It seems complicated, but it's actually just a matter of a sentence or two.
With one kick, the door panel flew through the air, and that despicable villain was gone. The main focus is on the description of the rescuer, emphasizing his clothing and appearance.
"It is indeed our lost target!"
“I know, that’s what makes it even more of a headache!” Renault rubbed his temples, which were throbbing slightly, with one hand on his forehead.
"Then captain, what should we do next?"
"Let's keep it to ourselves. Continue to remotely monitor the target's movements, and then await further instructions from the execution department!"
Renault left after saying that, intending to report to Minister Schneider in person, but then paused, remembering something, and turned back to add:
"By the way, contact her family to send someone to pick her up. Also, remind them what they should and shouldn't say!"
"understand!"
Chapter 29 Legendary Artifact: Holy Silver Crossbow
"What a penniless bastard, only carrying this little bit of money when he goes out to commit crimes!"
Having accomplished his mission, Cao Hanqing left without a trace, keeping his achievements hidden. He counted his "spoils of war," which totaled only about a hundred yuan in cash.
With the rise of mobile payments, there are very few people who still like to carry cash.
After leaving Huanggang Village, I hailed a taxi at random.
"Master, please go to the address on this page."
"Alright~ Handsome, sit down. It will take about an hour to get there from here."
The habit of being talkative is probably an occupational hazard for most taxi drivers.
"Hey handsome, are you going to an exhibition?" the driver asked casually.
"Why do you say that?"
"Because this address is surrounded by large convention and exhibition venues, and antique exhibitions are held every now and then to attract citizens and tourists."
Besides that, the most famous building there is the city's most famous auction center.
"Looking at you, handsome, with your hands empty, you don't look like you're going to an auction."
Listening to the driver's detailed explanation, Cao Han suddenly understood.
The address Chu Tianjiao gave him was surprisingly interesting. Since it was the most famous auction center in the city, he figured that handing his items over to them for auction would fetch him a price he was satisfied with.
These days, it's not easy to find a passenger who's willing to talk; most people just sit there with their heads down, playing on their phones.
You can tell he's an experienced driver.
It had indeed been more than an hour since they arrived at their destination. Cao Han casually stuffed the more than one hundred yuan in cash that he had just received into the driver's hand.
He turned around and got off the bus, not even asking for change.
This stems from an old custom that his grandmother once told him: if you get unexpected wealth, you should spend it all as soon as possible, or you will have bad luck!
He had barely walked a dozen meters when Cao Han's steps faltered almost imperceptibly. Then, as if nothing had happened, he continued walking, frowning impatiently as he said:
"It's like a stubborn plaster, sticking on so quickly!"
Because just a moment ago, that feeling of being watched, which I hadn't experienced for a while, returned to my mind.
It's obvious even to a fool that the other party has started using the ubiquitous surveillance cameras to keep an eye on him again.
Faced with this situation, Cao Han, who possessed great martial prowess, was helpless. "Don't let me catch you guys, or you'll be in for a world of hurt!"
Yutong Auction Center.
Cao Han looked into the distance at the auction center that the driver had mentioned was the most famous in the city; its shape was a perfect circle.
Only after entering did he discover that the interior layout was square, with a design that resembled...
An ancient copper coin!
"Hello sir, welcome to Yutong Auction. How can I help you?"
As soon as Cao Han entered, a receptionist in a business suit with a warm smile greeted him.
That alone is commendable. "A friend recommended me to you because I have something I'd like to entrust to your auction house for auction."
Upon hearing that a job had been arranged, the receptionist's eyes lit up, and her smile became even brighter.
"Thank you so much for trusting Yutong, sir. Please come to the VIP room to rest. We will have a professional appraiser come over shortly to give you a preliminary assessment of the items you wish to bid on."
"Ok."
The so-called VIP room is actually more like an antique-style tea room.
There were ancient documents and ancient-looking tea sets that looked expensive, and behind them was a screen printed with pictures of court ladies...
Cao Han was enjoying the tea brewed by the receptionist with her delicate hands when the appraiser, dressed in a Tang suit and carrying a toolbox, knocked on the door and entered.
"Hello sir, my name is Xu Wenguang, and I am a first-class appraiser at Yutong Auction. You can bring out the items you wish to auction."
