The Tale of the Kraken

Chapter 498 Peacock
"But that feather is fake." Hearing what she said, Ning Yuan smiled and said.

Unexpectedly, Ning Yuan would say such a sentence suddenly, Wu Ming's expression froze obviously, and then she heard her say: "Indeed, that feather is fake. Don't say it's not Phoenix's feather at all, then Not even the feathers of the phoenix, this matter is a complete fraud from the beginning to the end."

"Miss Nawu thinks that this group of people spent so much energy to make up such a thing, what is it for?"

After Ning Yuan asked this question, he did not give her a chance to reply, but said directly: "With all due respect, according to common sense, the higher the risk, the greater the benefit. To take such a big risk, contact So many agents even let the agents come forward to find their employers. I think they must have their purpose in doing so, but I don’t know how much Miss Wu knows about this purpose?”

This question can be said to be tricky, at least in Yang Yang's view.He looked at Ning Yuan with a very admiring look, lowered his head and stopped talking, he felt that the only purpose of his coming here this time was to accompany Lu Axe, as his reassurance.

Looking at Ning Yuan's manner of talking with others, and the enigmatic self-confidence revealed between the lines, Yang Yang felt that compared with him, he was far behind.Especially in Ning Yuan's question just now, there are two completely different meanings inside and outside the words.

It can be understood that he is really asking Ms. Wu sincerely, and wants to know how much she knows about this group of people. After all, she is an agent who has been in the dark for so long. Ms. Wu must have something in her hands. Resources they do not have and cannot master.From this level of meaning, Ning Yuan's words are perfect.

But the bad thing is that this sentence does not have only one meaning at all.

At least to Yang Yang's ears, there is another layer of meaning.That means, Ning Yuan wants to know what kind of role Miss Wu played in this transaction.All these calculations have something to do with her.This seemed to be sending a signal, that is, if Miss Wu was really involved in this incident, then he hoped that Miss Wu would speak up as soon as possible.

It's not too late to turn around.

Wu Ming had obviously heard the meaning of his words. If it was Yang Yang, he would definitely be furious. Even if he deliberately restrained his character, he would definitely feel uncomfortable.After all, how long have I known Lu Axe, and what does this person know, so it's ridiculous to think about it like this.

However, Wu Ming's agent was able to achieve what he is today, not relying on Yang Yang's general impulsiveness. After hearing Ning Yuan's words, she frowned slightly, then quickly adjusted her expression, and said: "About this For one thing, I think we need to have a good, honest talk."

"Tell me." After hearing what she said, Ning Yuan immediately put on an expression of wishing to hear more about it.

"I don't know what Lu Fu told you about me, but what I want to say is that as an agent, I have never had a problem with my work over the years, and my reputation is perfect. I will not do it for a group of I don’t know where he came from, but he destroyed the reputation I have worked so hard to build.” After Wu Ming frowned and said these words, he looked at Ning Yuan and said very sincerely: “As a businessman, I believe this For one thing, Mr. Ning must be able to understand."

"It's natural." Ning Yuan nodded, agreeing: "No businessman would make a joke of his own reputation, especially those who want to do long-term business, let alone do so."

"It's good that you can understand." No matter what Ning Yuan thought in his heart, what he said at least showed an attitude. He believed that he had no reason to do so.Now that there is no motivation, the next thing is very easy to solve.She then showed a smile and continued: "Then I will tell you about my investigation later."

Ning Yuan didn't answer the conversation this time, but looked up at Lu Ax, and after seeing the latter's eyes looking at Wu Ming expectantly, he couldn't help showing a smile.Even though Yang Yang was the guarantee this time, Lu Ax trusted the agent who had worked with him for many years even more.

There was never a time when Ning Yuan wanted his intuition to be wrong.His intuition told him that Wu Ming, no, this monster, was definitely not as innocent as she had shown in this matter.At least, she wasn't telling the truth about her motives.

Naturally, a businessman will not take risks with his own reputation, unless the risk is worthwhile, as long as it can bring enough benefits, there is nothing a businessman can't do.Ning Yuan, who is also a businessman, naturally understands this point better than anyone else.

And the reason why he doubted Wu Ming was also because she was a businessman.

How can a businessman, an agent who values ​​reputation more than anything else, forget the most important and basic risk assessment when doing business?As an agent, how could she forget that the reason for her existence was because Lu Ax didn't want to show his face at all.

Therefore, even if those people took out enough chips to lure Lu Ax into the bait.As his agent, if Wu Ming has no problems at all, Ning Yuan believes that he must have done an investigation beforehand.This kind of investigation was not only done by her, but also by other people. If she didn't see anything wrong, there would be no doubts.

This is indeed a very good way to evade, but Ning Yuan believes that things are not that simple.

You must know that those who need agents are basically not people with simple backgrounds. If such people want to lure them out, a phoenix feather is completely unqualified.

Even Lu Axe, Ning Yuan guessed that he needs this thing for refining the weapon now.Otherwise, let alone Ling Yu, even with the entire phoenix wings in front of him, it would be impossible for Lu Ax to show up.

According to Lu Ax, the auction at that time was divided into cubicles surrounding the center of the banquet hall.In this case, how many people went, who went, and who didn't?Who is in the box next to me?Or, is there anyone?Except for the organizers, no one knows at all.

What if the organizer really came to search for the refining masters?What if their target was only Lu Fu from the beginning?If all their attention had been on Lu Ax from the beginning, Ning Yuan felt that it would not be surprising what happened to Lu Ax afterwards.

After all, what a crouching tiger, hidden dragon is the Black Sun.

How difficult it is to deceive a bunch of agents there!Of course, these are just Ning Yuan's guesses, and the best evidence he relies on is Wu Ming himself.One must know that people like Wu Ming would not go without complete preparations.

If she has no problems, she will definitely investigate that place and the origin of that phoenix feather with due diligence.Apart from other things, she will definitely identify the true and false of that feather, let's say her eyesight is not as vicious as Lu Fu's, so it's okay if she didn't see it.But after hearing such a meeting plan, didn't that witty Wu Ming really see something wrong?
Or, in fact, she had already seen it, but for some reason, she chose to remain silent?
And this kind of silence, in a sense, is already counted as a backplane.When you know a friend, he will be in danger because of some things and some decisions.When you clearly know that his choice is due to the lack of some key clues, and you happen to have this clue, will you choose to remain silent?
Obviously, a normal human being would choose to tell his friends, but Wu Ming chose to remain silent.

From Ning Yuan's point of view, this is already called betrayal.

However, as Lu Ax said before, when he decided to go, Wu Ming tried to dissuade him.Although such persuasion seems useless, no matter what, Wu Ming can tell others that he has tried his best.

As for the word "do your best", only one person knows it, and others can only guess at best.And all of this is just Ning Yuan's own guess, he has no evidence, so he can only pretend to be stupid, watching Wu Ming continue to talk.

As for the skill of being calm, Ning Yuan and Yuan Mu may be the most powerful among them.Even Yang Yang, who was most familiar with him, didn't notice any change in his expression, let alone Wu Ming who met Ning Yuan for the first time.

After seeing that Ning Yuan's expression did not change, she felt that she had temporarily won the trust of several people.So he continued to say: "I found that those who received the invitations at the same time were all well-known collectors or refining masters in the black sun. Many of them also got the news through their agents. They also attended the banquet that day. As for I am still investigating their identities."

The so-called "investigation" is nothing more than relying on the contacts I have built up over the years to slowly investigate the identities of those people, so it cannot be said that it is not risky.If you look at it normally, it can be regarded as the utmost righteousness to Lu Furen, but as Ning Yuan said, this does not match her status as such a smart and capable agent, because the timing is not right.

She should have done this before the auction, not now after something happened.
