Chen Pao's matter was settled, and the matters concerning the Cullinan were also arranged. After Li Chonglou gave some minor instructions, he left the company.
Lin Qianqian had not yet been informed when the General Bureau would meet him, but there was no longer any emphasis on him not being allowed to leave Shangjing. The progress could not be this slow. Li Chonglou guessed the General Bureau's intentions and temporarily set this matter aside.
Now, he only had two concerns: one was Hu Han, and the other was Black Saber.
Because of the matter with Jing Li, Black Saber was now more important than the Hu family. This time, his intention with the Sun Corporation's affairs was not simply to obtain a pass to the auction; this special material was also worth investigating.
Old An sensed that what was attached to it was curse power, but the problem was that curse power should only exist in the Lost Land. So, what was this metal?
"Little Li, you must go and see. Perhaps there is a second Lost Land in this world!"
Old An's words also moved Li Chonglou. If there really was a second Lost Land, there would be so much more he could do.
Other than those with legacies, there was probably no one in this world who understood this place better than him!
However, he couldn't rush it for now.
The matter in Feng Town was not yet resolved, and the Little Saber Gang was still unclear. If he alerted them now, the news might leak out.
After repeated consideration, Li Chonglou still believed in following the plan: first resolve the Sun Corporation's issue, gain the trust of the two brothers, and then delve into the material's matter. This way, there would be no room for error!
"However, precautions must still be taken."
Li Chonglou narrowed his eyes and directly called Black Saber.
"Brother Li?"
"Have Yue Hai guard the Sun brothers, or tell them directly to cooperate."
Black Saber on the other end of the phone asked in confusion, "What happened?"
Li Chonglou roughly explained the airport incident. In fact, Chen Pao, who might have leaked information, had now become one of his own people. He just wanted to ensure that everything was foolproof.
"Okay, I understand."
Li Chonglou also took the opportunity to ask, "How is your progress?"
"It's going smoothly, Brother Li. Give me a little more time, and we will give you a satisfactory answer!"
Black Saber did not explicitly say, clearly wanting to give Li Chonglou a surprise, so he did not ask further and then hung up the phone.
"It's about time, let's go."
Yes, Luo Feng had called him earlier today to arrange an earlier meeting.
As Li Chonglou was leaving, in the central district of Shangjing.
Unlike other places, Shangjing's city center was not in the central district. Instead, the administrative center was located here.
The Shangjing General Bureau was also located within the administrative center.
"Little Qian, you're here again."
Many people did not know that the General Bureau building was actually an ordinary building with only six floors. The difference was that its exterior was plated with a layer of special black material. It was said that even the latest X7 missile could only leave a bullet mark on it.
At this moment, the person conversing with Lin Qianqian was an old man sitting in a security booth in front of the building's ground floor entrance.
The old man was in his sixties but looked particularly energetic, especially his eyes. Not only were they free of the usual cloudiness of old age, but they also faintly gleamed with a few sparks.
Lin Qianqian dared not underestimate him. Anyone working at the General Bureau, even the auntie who cleaned the toilets, would not be an ordinary person. Moreover, Lin Qianqian was very clear about the old man's identity before he became a security guard.
"Old Master Tie, it's not that I want to come. Sigh, they say there's a result from the last incident."
The old man's name was Tie Nan. He grinned at Lin Qianqian's words, "What, Little Qian, are you saying you don't want to see this old man anymore?"
Lin Qianqian smiled wryly, "Old Master Tie, please stop teasing me. That's not what I meant. Aren't I bringing you a gift?"
In Lin Qianqian's hand, she was indeed carrying a gift bag. Judging from the small half that was exposed, it was a bottle of wine.
After speaking, she handed the wine directly to Tie Nan.
"Old Master Tie, this is a good twenty-year-old wine that I worked hard to get. I specifically brought it to give to you."
Tie Nan's expression froze, and only then did he realize he had been tricked.
"You girl, what do you want me to help you with again?"
This time, he was the one smiling wryly, but his expression aside, his hands were honestly reaching out to take it, and his eyes showed undisguised joy.
Tie Nan had no other hobbies in his life except drinking.
It was true that drinking caused trouble, so after retiring, he directly became a security guard. Who would dare cause trouble at the entrance of the General Bureau?
This security post allowed him to be leisurely, which made him love wine even more. After all, even if he got drunk, no one would care about his position.
"Old Maotai?"
When Tie Nan took out the wine from the box, his eyes immediately lit up. The older the Maotai, the more valuable it was! The twenty years Lin Qianqian mentioned had far exceeded his expectations!
His hesitant expression immediately changed.
"Little Qian, just say what you need, and I'll handle it!"
Lin Qianqian smiled faintly, "Old Master Tie, you're thinking too much. This wine is just to show my filial piety. However, if something truly happens, I won't be polite with you."
Tie Nan smiled wryly, "Little Qian, your plan is too brilliant, isn't it? One bottle of wine for my favor?"
"Alright, Old Master Tie, if there's nothing else, I'll go in now."
As Lin Qianqian spoke, she was about to go inside, but Tie Nan suddenly grabbed her.
Her expression changed, and when she turned her head, she found that Tie Nan had produced a string of prayer beads from somewhere.
"You girl, don't do this again, I'm telling you."
Tie Nan said and voluntarily helped Lin Qianqian put on the prayer beads, hanging them on her fair wrist.
Lin Qianqian then realized she had misunderstood him, and a look of joy flashed across her face. Just as she was about to say something, Tie Nan waved his hand.
"Go, go, hurry in, or you'll get scolded and say I delayed you."
"Hehe, that won't happen. Then I'll go in first."
Lin Qianqian touched the prayer beads on her wrist, and her suspended heart immediately settled.
After entering the gate, there was a simple hall inside, with no staff. Lin Qianqian, as if accustomed to it, walked directly to a wooden door by the stairs.
Then, when she pushed the door open, she saw a dozen or twenty important figures sitting inside.
The atmosphere immediately became tense.
"Sit down when you're here."
The space inside was over a hundred square meters, but there was only one long table. Sitting at the very front was a middle-aged man with white hair.
Yes, he looked to be in his thirties, but the white hair on his head gave him an indescribable sense of vicissitude.
