Qin Xiaofei touched his chin and said in deep thought:
"The entire southwest border is so big, it's simply impossible for the two of us to do it alone."
"And from what Mr. Lin said, my parents themselves are not ordinary people. Although their identities are kept secret, many people from the underground forces here should have seen them."
"After all, if my parents are performing tasks here, they will inevitably come into contact with these people."
"That is to say, if we can get in touch with the underground forces here, it should be much easier."
After listening to Qin Xiaofei's analysis, Yuan Shi nodded in agreement.
If a person is strong enough, he will leave a resounding reputation no matter where he goes.
"That is to say, we must first find a way to find those well-informed people here."
"That's right. Generally speaking, people like this tend to hang out in the most chaotic and lively places."
"But where will this place be in Ruicheng?"
Although what Qin Xiaofei said is indeed correct, such places are generally not easy to find.
"Don't worry, the best place to get information is usually in a bar. There are people from all walks of life there."
"Let's go to a nearby bar and inquire about it. We should be able to gain something."
Qin Xiaofei said with a faint smile.
Although he hated the environment in the bar, he accidentally discovered that the gossip in the bar seemed to be very well-informed.
But we often encounter scammers who will use fake news to defraud money.
Yuan Shi nodded, tidied up, got up and followed Qin Xiaofei to the bar to inquire about the news.
After entering the bar, the two of them split into two groups to investigate.
The way to get information is actually very simple, that is to strike up a conversation and invite someone to drink.
As long as everyone is drunk, it's easy to talk about anything.
About two hours later, the two met again at the door of the bar.
"Xiao Fei, how are you doing over there? Is there any news?"
Yuan Shi looked happy, as if he had gained something.
"Brother Yuan, have you heard anything?"
Qin Xiaofei asked with a chuckle.
"Haha, I just heard that there will be a large-scale auction in Ruicheng recently."
"It seems like there will be an auction of some kind of poison. There will be many powerful people and some private experts coming to participate."
"I think this auction should be the place we are looking for."
"With all the forces gathered together, it should be easy to find a few well-informed people."
Yuan Shi said with excitement.
This news is undoubtedly good news for them.
"Well, I also heard about it, and I also found out that the auction will be in three days!"
Qin Xiaofei nodded and said.
"It's just so strange. Why is there such a strange auction in Ruicheng? It seems that people here are very keen on Gu."
In Yuan Shi's impression, Gu is not a good thing.
"On the southwest border, Gu is the most famous thing. It's not surprising that there is such an auction in Ruicheng, because it is abundant here."
"We must also be careful in our subsequent actions, and we must not be plotted by others."
Qin Xiaofei explained to Yuan Shi, and then told Yuan Shi to be careful not to be poisoned.
Yuan Shi nodded, and then followed Qin Xiaofei back to the hotel.
In the next three days, the two made some preparations for the auction, then walked around Ruicheng and collected a lot of gossip.
But basically not much is useful.
However, the two of them also knew a little bit about the customs and customs of Ruicheng.
This should be of great help for the next actions.
Three days passed quickly. Early that morning, Qin Xiaofei took Yuan Shi to the venue of the auction.
Arriving outside the auction venue, Qin Xiaofei felt something bad...
The venue inside seemed to be a private place, and the door was tightly guarded by guards.
However, he still faced the scalp and led Yuan Shi inside.
As expected, I was stopped at the door.
"Hello, please show me your invitation."
Although the guard's words were very polite, there was no good look on his face at all.
He noticed that most of the people who came to the auction had invitation cards in their hands.
"Sorry, I forgot to bring it, can you..."
Qin Xiaofei said without changing his expression, and handed over a card.
"Then I'm sorry, you can't go in without an invitation."
The guard said unceremoniously, without any intention of being accommodating.
It seems that the plan to bribe the guards also failed.
There was no other way, Qin Xiaofei had no choice but to take Yuan Shi around outside the venue, trying to find another way to get in.
As a result, I was helpless to find that there was no other entrance to this place except the main door.
You still have to find a way to enter through the main entrance.
So Qin Xiaofei simply took Yuan Shi to the gate again. This time Qin Xiaofei used his energy, intending to stun the guards and sneak in.
"Mr. Qin, is that you?"
Just when Qin Xiaofei walked to the gate and was about to take action, he suddenly heard someone calling him.
Can you still meet acquaintances in this place?
Turning around, he saw the person who had called him walking towards him with a smile on his face, wearing a decent suit and with an assistant beside him.
"You...Wang Kun?"
Qin Xiaofei suddenly called out a name in surprise.
That's right, the person who stopped Qin Xiaofei was Wang Kun.
The original owner of the Mingyue Hotel in that county was Wang Kun.
"Haha, it is indeed you, Mr. Qin. I almost thought I had recognized the wrong person."
Wang Kun smiled and greeted Qin Xiaofei.
"Why are you here?" Qin Xiaofei asked strangely.
Since Wang Kun left the county, Qin Xiaofei has never heard from him again.
"I would like to thank Mr. Qin for showing me the way, otherwise I wouldn't be where I am today."
Wang Kun said with a grateful face.
"Oh? What should I say?"
Qin Xiaofei asked in surprise.
He thought Wang Kun would hate him.
"After I left the county seat, I came to Ruicheng on the southwest border. After staying here for a few years, I realized how narrow my vision was."
"After hanging out here for a few years, I seized the opportunity to cooperate with others and started organizing auctions, and through this I met a lot of powerful people."
"My life is much more comfortable now than in that small place in the county."
Wang Kun smiled briefly and briefly told Qin Xiaofei about his family history.
After hearing this, Qin Xiaofei nodded thoughtfully.
In fact, Qin Xiaofei was quite optimistic about Wang Kun at first.
Although this person is a bit ambitious and short-handed, he is not without merit. He can often seize fleeting business opportunities.
