Chapter 1836

Duoluoge's earpiece crackled with Bo Te's reply; he pressed his ear lightly, listening for a few seconds, then said excitedly to Jin Chen, "Bo Te successfully drew off the assassination team—Xigemeng, you really have something!"

At the same time, the hired thugs and fugitives who had voluntarily gone to capture the "mysterious thief" returned to the auction house, panting and cursing, saying they hadn't been able to kill him.

And they said, "We couldn't even catch the assassination team—on the contrary, the thief stole them away!"

No sooner had the words fallen than Aider rose angrily, a hint of brutality flickering in his eyes, "Wen Si Luo, you go!"

"Yes, sir." Wen Si Luo glanced at Jin Chen again; this time Jin Chen finally nodded at him, indicating he could leave first.

Wen Si Luo pondered for a few seconds, then still went after him.

Zhengyi.

Wen Zhu, who had been observing the chaos for a long time, suddenly spoke in a low, hoarse, eerie voice, "Follow him, find an opportunity, kill Wen Si Luo."

"No one knows it was you who did it." Wen Zhu's tone was heavy with gloom.

Zhengyi knew exactly whom he should be loyal to, so he simply responded, without considering that Wen Si Luo was working for Eld.

All he had to do was finish this job, then take Yunran and leave.

Everything was seen by Jin Chen.

Seeing Wen Si Luo leave the auction safely, he finally nodded at the impatient Dorogo, signaling they could begin.

Dorogo immediately pressed the device he had secretly prepared during Jin Chen and Eld's frantic bidding.

Boom!!

Two huge smoke-and-noise grenades were suddenly thrown into the center of the auction hall!

At the instant of the blast, smoke quickly filled the entire auction hall.

The masked bodyguards rushed out first to protect the VIP seats, while other spectators shouted curses, thinking the international fugitive had revealed his identity and brought the FBI upon them.

Eld Felt Something Off, quickly rose to leave, but was still a step too late.

For some reason, the smoke suddenly cleared, and everyone was stunned by what they saw.

Where the auction platform had just been empty, it was now surrounded by a ring of new-model assault tanks!

"Oh... God." Someone in the crowd muttered numbly, "Who's doing magic here?!"

How on earth could something this big be hidden!

Jin Chen and Dorogo leisurely walked up to the auction platform, their skin masks torn away to reveal faces already familiar to many.

Wen Zhu drew a deep breath, his expression drastically changing.

"Jin Chen..."

How could this be!

Wasn't the informant saying Jin Chen was being held somewhere by Wen Si Luo!

Jin Chen picked up the microphone on the auction platform; his magnetic, low voice spread to every corner of the hall—of course, no one dared to make noise anymore, as the firepower of those ten tanks was beyond what they could withstand.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, criminals."

"I suppose you don't want to suffer a futile escape only to end up blown up here for no reason, so let's play a game of 'who can survive.'"

Under everyone's gaze, Jin Chen picked up the auction hammer again, idly tapping it, yet each tap felt like it struck each person's eardrum.

"First, whoever can tie up Eld and Wen Zhu gets to leave first." Jin Chen said, smiling with a curled lip.

As soon as he finished, a few quick-reacting masked, rough-haired thugs moved first, charging at Eld with fierce momentum.

On the other side, outside the auction hall.

Zhengyi had just stepped out of the auction's Main Gate when he lost track of Wen Si Luo.

Zhengyi, puzzled and wary, drew his gun and hurried down the corridor.

No one was there.

It seemed as if everyone who had left the auction had instantly entered another hidden space, leaving the entire exterior empty.

Whoosh—

A figure flashed past at extreme speed; Zhengyi instinctively turned and fired, then instantly froze in place.

He fired into empty air, the bullet embedding into the corridor wall.

And the muzzle of a gun was pressed against the back of his head.

"Wen Si Luo?" Zhengyi guessed.

The response was the sound of a pistol being cocked.

Wen Si Luo: "You serve Wen Zhu; your end can only be death."

Indeed.

Zhengyi dared not relax at all, forcing a smile: "Mercenaries only care about money… but… when did you realize I'm not a thug?"

Wen Si Luo: "A thug's fists aren't as fragile as yours."

Zhengyi cursed, seeing something even more infuriating.

The mysterious thief also appeared, and his demeanor showed he was actually with Wen Si Luo!

What the hell are we still playing!

"Wen Si Luo, let's negotiate." Zhengyi changed his mind in a few seconds, his tone softening as he proposed a deal.

"To be honest, I took this mercenary job only for Yunran."

"If you return Yunran to me, I'll become an undercover agent by Wen Zhu's side—how about that?"

Wen Si Luo remained silent for a few seconds, considering feasibility.

"Get going now, go in and tell Wen Zhu I'm dead, then shut up."

Zhengyi was now very agreeable, asking no reason: "Fine!"

Wen Si Luo slowly moved the gun's muzzle away, but kept a firing stance: "If you can't do it, I'll still kill you."

Zhengyi hurriedly retraced his steps, while Wen Si Luo slowly shifted his gaze, fixing on the mysterious thief: "What are you to Jin… Xigemeng?"

Bo Te: "Partners, no time to explain, you and I come."

Bo Te turned and led the way, taking Wen Si Luo from the secret passage to the other side of the auction venue.

Bo Te roughly explained the agreement he had with Xigemeng for their cooperation, but from start to finish Wen Si Luo only heard one sentence.

"He wants to kill Aierd inside the auction?" Wen Si Luo's footsteps halted, realizing Bo Te had brought him to a hidden door; he coldly drew his gun and demanded: "Where is this now?"

"Push open the door and it's our seats over here, still the auction venue, but Xigemeng said he wants you to wait here in this safe place." Bo Te explained.

Wen Si Luo didn't know what he was thinking, his gaze extremely dark, without hesitation he pushed the door open and walked out.

"I don't want to wait for him here."

When today ends, Wen Si Luo thought, he would never let his brother go again.

No matter what method.

After all… there is still a way.
