Chapter 42 The Agent and Gu Xie
After forcing out the information about the person behind the scenes, Liu Chun left the place, which was almost like a ruin. Moreover, almost all of the gang members were taught a good lesson by the suddenly appearing Pang Wenke, and they would not do anything for a while.
As he walked, Liu Chun carefully observed the information that appeared on Lao Da's phone, and then combined them to recall that, apart from that Si Huajin who wanted his life, the only person he had a bad relationship with was his agent.
Recalling the manager's resentful and even murderous look after he returned the money to the other party during the day, he thought Liu Chun was not a smart person and therefore did not care about anything.
Liu Chun, who had already inherited and learned some of the abilities of the "ancients," was highly wary of this. Although he did not say it directly at the time, it does not mean that he really knew nothing!
"I thought you would step forward to teach me a lesson tonight, but you're just an anxious onlooker waiting behind the scenes. I'm so disappointed."
"Beep beep beep!"
Liu Chun took out her phone and held it to her ear: "Hey! Has your problem been resolved?"
Pang Wenke hummed in agreement, then said gravely, "Brother Liu, I've made some discoveries. I'm coming to find you now. Are you already on your way home?"
"Yes."
"Okay, I'll come find you right now."
……
In Liu Chun's dilapidated rented room, the four of them reunited. No one would suddenly fall asleep at this time, or even want to hear any news.
"We already have our own people guarding the area, so this conversation won't reveal any secrets. Brother, you can begin."
Pang Weixiong walked in from outside; she was in charge of the perimeter security.
Pang Wenke looked at Liu Chun, pointed to the old-fashioned phone on the table, and said, "Brother Liu, do you remember who did what happened tonight?"
Liu Chun nodded: "I only recently started contacting the new crew of 'Lurking'. The agent in the crew has a history with me. Apart from that, I can't think of anyone else."
"Of course, I can handle this all by myself, so please don't mess things up and ruin my plans."
"We don't really have much to say about that," Pang Wenke paused for about ten seconds, "but Brother Liu, have you considered whether there's anything else about this agent that's amiss, besides what everyone sees on the surface?"
Liu Chun's mind raced, and he immediately replied, "Are you suggesting that these people might also be connected to some 'antiques'?"
Although this agent is quite shrewd, he probably hasn't gone to this level yet. Besides, he observed the argument between the two parties quite closely before, but he didn't notice anything amiss!
Based on what he knew, apart from the agent who seemed to have a problem, everyone else was normal.
After Liu Chun thought for a while, Pang Wenke nodded silently and explained: "We had already sent people to investigate Si Huajin's disappearance, and we unexpectedly discovered some clues about the agent that Brother Liu knew. So my people started following him, and that's how we made the later discovery."
"When we were secretly watching him, we noticed that there were boxes that Brother Liu and Brother Zhang Man had transported together in his house before. However, when we went in to check after he went to work, there was nothing inside."
Brother Zhang Man listened attentively, and immediately asked, "Wait a minute, didn't you guys look carefully? We discussed before that those 'antiques' might be hidden inside the compartments of the box. Did your people examine them thoroughly?"
Pang Weixiong explained, "It was precisely because we knew this factor that we turned the whole box over and looked at it several times. Moreover, there was nothing in the internal compartments of the box, only an indentation indicating that something had been stored there."
Regardless, the box was provided by Pang Wenke's organization to Brother Zhang Man and his group for transit and transportation. If they didn't even know that, then there was no need for the organization to exist.
After a pause, Liu Chun asked Pang Weixiong, "Judging from the indentations, can your organization determine what the 'antique' inside actually is?"
Pang Weixiong lowered his head: "The organization is still confirming this matter, but we believe they will reach a conclusion soon, and then we will tell you."
"That's fine too," Liu Chun muttered to himself. "I wonder why this agent possessed the box? And given the extremely dangerous 'antiques' inside, they dared to take them out directly. Where will these things end up? What will they be used for?"
None of the people present could answer these questions. The "antique" incident had only recently begun to erupt, and its specific purpose was still unknown.
Furthermore, for an ordinary person, even accidentally coming into contact with the power of this "ancient artifact" or being affected by it would result in death. So taking it out when the agent knew nothing about it was simply courting death.
However, there is another possibility: the agent knew nothing about it and then accidentally discovered something stored in the compartment of the box, which was taken out out of curiosity.
In that case, death was not far away for him.
Realizing this, Pang Wenke immediately took out his phone and contacted the organization.
"Whether it was just ignorance on the agent's part or if they really had some connection with Si Huajin and the others, the organization will be able to determine that soon. We can wait and see."
Liu Chun got up and went to wash up: "Then I'll go to the film set again tomorrow. If all else fails, I'll infiltrate his side. I don't believe he won't expose anything all day long. As time goes on, all his secrets will be revealed."
Liu Chun's confidence now stems from playing the role of "Yu Zecheng". Doing this kind of work also allows Liu Chun to gain a deeper understanding of the character, accelerate the role-playing process, and become familiar with the character's skills.
"In that case, the three of us will head back first. If Brother Liu has any other matters that need to be resolved, just hand them over to our organization."
"Goodbye and don't bother seeing me off!"
……
In a luxurious residential area of the capital, there is a room with its curtains drawn, yet the lights are on brightly inside. To outsiders, it looks as if someone has installed a bright spotlight inside. If the curtains were removed, the entire area outside the window would probably turn into daytime in an instant.
At the same time, two figures were standing face to face in the room, occasionally making gestures, as if they were discussing some important event.
"Lord Gu Xie, did the person you're looking for really have a grudge against Liu Chun before?" The agent asked timidly, using respectful language.
The adult known as "Ancient Evil" had a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth, but his entire body was wrapped in a black robe, making him appear particularly mysterious.
But whenever he makes any physical movements, what's revealed isn't his muscular arms, but rather a steel-like, steel-armed body.
"Don't worry, this trouble has now been transferred to our hands, so now we have a business relationship with Liu Chun. In your terms, Liu Chun must repay this favor to us, that's for sure."
Even when Gu Xie speaks, he has a strong metallic accent, making the agent feel like he's talking to a robot. However, the truth is that Gu Xie's identity is simply mysterious.
