241: Gather in Guangzhou and Shenzhen!
In Guangshen City, Lin Qi Ye, An Qingyu, Cao Yuan, and Galan walked out of the airport.
"This is Guangshen City, it looks even grander than Shangjing," Cao Yuan said, looking at the crowded airport.
"I hope we can find clues about Bai Li Pang Pang this time." Lin Qi Ye's mood was heavy; Bai Li Pang Pang's disappearance was a huge blow to the entire Reserve Squad.
Galan gently touched Lin Qi Ye's cheek and said, "You can do it!"
Lin Qi Ye smiled at Galan. Although the Mysterious girl's origin was still unclear, Lin Qi Ye always felt a sense of inexplicable peace whenever he looked at her.
"Don't worry, I will definitely find Pang Pang," Lin Qi Ye said.
As the group walked out of the airport, just as they were about to hail a taxi to the hotel, they saw several people in suits and ties walking towards them.
Cao Yuan immediately became alert. It was their first time in Guangzhou-Shenzhen, an unfamiliar place, and someone was already looking for them. It was obvious that it couldn't be anything good.
However, the airport was a public place after all, so the other party couldn't possibly do anything out of line here, could they?
Galan clenched her fists, thinking that if these men in black dared to harm Lin Qi Ye, she also knew a bit of martial arts.
The group quickly arrived in front of Lin Qi Ye and the others.
"Hello, are you Captain Lin Qi Ye?" the handsome man leading them asked.
Lin Qi Ye sized up the person opposite him, then smiled and said, "The Baili Family is truly Divine Ability. I'm afraid you already knew the news as soon as we boarded the plane in Shangjing City, didn't you?"
The man opposite him calmly said:
"Captain Lin is joking. The Baili Family is also a part of the Night Watcher. We are all on the same side.
Oh, let me introduce myself. My name is Butler Chang, and I am Young Master Jing's butler."
"Baili Jing?" Lin Qi Ye was a little surprised. He had thought this person was sent by Bai Li Xin.
"That's right," Butler Chang said, "Ever since Young Master Jing learned of Little Grandfather's disappearance, he hasn't been able to eat or sleep.
He used all the connections he could, but still couldn't find any news of Little Grandfather.
Upon learning that Captain Lin and the others were coming to Guangzhou-Shenzhen to investigate, Young Master Jing asked me to wait here at the airport."
An Qingyu frowned, feeling that something was off, but he couldn't quite pinpoint what it was.
Lin Qi Ye thought for a moment and said, "Since you insist, then I will trouble you."
"Captain Lin, you are too kind. I will take you to the hotel first, and we can talk on the way."
Under Butler Chang's guidance, the group went through the VIP channel and got into the car.
"Captain Lin, I will take you to the hotel first to drop off your belongings, and then take you to Young Master Jing.
He has already booked a restaurant."
"I didn't expect their relationship to be so good," Cao Yuan said, "I thought that in such a large Family, the relationship between brothers would be more complicated."
"Haha, you're joking," Butler Chang continued, "Old Master Baili places great importance on Family values and has taught the two young masters since childhood the principle that brothers united are stronger than iron."
Lin Qi Ye heard Butler Chang mention Bai Li Xin, so he followed the topic and said,
"By the way, actually, this time we came here, we also wanted to visit Mr. Baili."
"Visit Old Master Baili? What a coincidence," Butler Chang's face showed difficulty, "The Old Master has been bedridden since he learned of Little Grandfather's disappearance and is currently hospitalized for observation in a private hospital."
Lin Qi Ye frowned and said, "So that's how it is. What a coincidence."
"However, Captain Lin, don't worry, the Old Master also knows about your arrival," Butler Chang said, "The Old Master is also very worried about Little Grandfather's safety. As long as his physical condition allows, I believe he will definitely come to see you."
Soon, the car stopped in front of a hotel.
Butler Chang smiled and said, "This is a hotel under the Baili Family. Please feel free to stay. If you need anything, just let me know."
The car door opened, and several men in black took Lin Qi Ye and the others' luggage and walked towards the hotel.
...
Guangshen City, urban village.
Even in the most prosperous city, there must be such a place.
This is a gathering place for the poor.
They engage in the most undignified work, maintaining the dignity of the entire city.
Shanhe District is such a place.
Song Zhong and Shen Qingzhu were currently in a noodle shop in Shanhe District.
"Boss, two bowls of 'Hang-Up' noodles, one large bottle of water," Song Zhong said.
"Alright, four, four, two, total ten," the fat boss shouted. The boss was corpulent, looking even rounder than Bai Li Pang Pang.
Song Zhong paid and found a table to sit with Shen Qingzhu.
Looking at the dreamlike prices, Shen Qingzhu sighed:
"I didn't expect to be able to eat noodles at this price in Guangshen City."
"This is a specialty of Guangzhou-Shenzhen. Don't waste it later. You can order more if it's not enough," Song Zhong said.
Soon, the noodles were served. Shen Qingzhu ate while saying:
"My Lord, I truly didn't expect you to personally bring me to Guangzhou-Shenzhen. Thank you."
"No need to thank me. Your goal is to find Bai Li Pang Pang's whereabouts, and I happen to be very interested in Bai Li Xin's research."
Shen Qingzhu swallowed two mouthfuls of noodles and asked, "But my Lord, I don't quite understand.
Shouldn't we be investigating at Baili Manor?
Why come to this place first?"
Song Zhong drank the noodle soup from his bowl and said, "If you were Bai Li Xin, would you leave any traces near the Manor?"
Shen Qingzhu shook his head and said, "Certainly not, but what does that have to do with us coming here?"
"Every city has a gray area, and this is the gray area of Guangzhou-Shenzhen.
The characteristic of the gray area is that information is especially well-connected.
As long as you pay the price, you can get the information."
Shen Qingzhu suddenly understood, "My Lord, have you already found a Breakthrough?"
Song Zhong nodded, "From Yue Huai's memory, the Baili Family recently processed a large batch of 'Mental Capsule'. The Materials for these things are all people.
And this place is Guangzhou-Shenzhen's largest talent center market.
Tell me, will there be clues here?"
Shen Qingzhu suddenly understood. He already knew Yue Huai's entire plan from Song Zhong.
That guy, in order to summon Wind God Xiu, made an exorbitant demand to Bai Li Xin, asking for a large batch of "Mental Capsule."
Even if Bai Li Xin's accumulation was strong, producing so much in a short period would lead to a shortage of raw Materials.
Of course, the Baili Family would definitely entrust such human trafficking to other forces.
And to find a large number of people in a short time, there's nowhere easier than the Shanhe Talent Market.
"By the way, Lord Song Zhong, Lin Qi Ye and the others have also arrived in Guangshen City," Shen Qingzhu said.
"You want to protect them?" Song Zhong asked.
"Yes, they don't know how deep the Baili Family's waters are, and they might encounter danger."
Song Zhong nodded, "Alright then, you can act according to your own thoughts."
"And you?" Shen Qingzhu asked.
"Me? I heard a call, an interesting call."
Song Zhong smiled slightly, paid the bill, and left.
