This world is terrible

Chapter 180 The Collector's Invitation
"Ms. Zhang?"

Gao Yi thought for a while, and recalled the beautiful woman he had met once in Shan'ao.

Because Zhang Chaoxian was kidnapped, if he wanted to know the subsequent development of the incident, he had to keep an eye on all the clues related to the victim.As a wife, Ms. Zhang is undoubtedly Jijia's only target.

In the past few days, although Gao Yi has been very busy, Xiaodi is still carrying out the task conscientiously.

Every once in a while, it will play a different social role, by telephone, or face-to-face conversation, to come to some information.

Ms. Zhang is a nice person, or a little too nice to refuse at all.Like Xiaodi's spam calls, which are no different from sales promotion, the two of them can still chat for ten minutes without embarrassment.

But in this way, the gains are also significant.

Gao Yi learned that: In Ms. Zhang's memory after being affected, her husband was not tied up by someone, but simply on a business trip.

And about the follow-up of the incident that he has been paying attention to.From February until now, as always, there has been no movement at all, and it can even be said to be a little strangely calm.

Zhang Chaoxian seemed to have evaporated from the world and was completely forgotten.

"Why did the mysterious man in the mountain arrest him? Is he very important? But if it is really so important, why has it been so long without even a little trouble?"

Gao Yi once thought this way too.He doubted whether his judgment was wrong, or that his intelligence direction was wrong, and he got the focus of the investigation wrong?

Nowadays.

Like all the doubts in the past, resurfaced.

Faced with this unexpected call, Gao Yi adjusted his breathing slightly, reached out, picked up the landline microphone from Xiaodi's head, and put it next to his ear.

"Hello."

[Black humor]——[Sound of Nature] activated.

Gao Yi's voice has become a lot more mature, and through the buzzing microphone, it has spread to an unknown corner of Donghai.

"Hello."

The other side responded with the same kind greeting.

It's just a little surprising that this is a male voice, an old, magnetic voice.

He seemed to be in some empty place, Gao Yi could even hear the echoing footsteps slightly, as if someone was pacing back and forth.

"Who are you?"

Gao Yi still maintains his bearing, like a customer service, waiting for others to ask questions, thus occupying the high ground in communication.

"Which one am I?"

The old voice smiled: "I still want to ask who you are? With an encrypted number, it is hidden in my daughter-in-law's communication records, and a call comes from time to time. Do you really think I can't decipher it?"

Ok?
Gao Yi frowned slightly, was discovered?
Who is the opponent?Daughter-in-law...

Could it be that he is Zhang Chaoxian's father?
Zhang Chaoxian's father noticed my stalking, cracked the encryption of my number, and then called back to contact me?
Gao Yi didn't think he was a fool.

There are only two answers to voluntarily exposing the poor information you have established. One is not to care, and the other is to show sincerity.

Hearing the other party's chat-like tone, Gao Yi felt more like the latter.It's just that there is a reason to express sincerity, which is obviously unreasonable for a guy who monitors his daughter-in-law.

There is only one answer, the other party knows himself, or knows his identity.

"Descartes, about Shan'ao, thank you for your help."

His next sentence undoubtedly confirmed Gao Yi's conjecture: "Without you, not only Chaoxian, but even Aping and Xiaoyuan would have suffered misfortune."

"You are……"

Gao Yi asked again, different from before, this time he has become serious.

What was the reason that Zhang Chaoxian was tied up?At this moment, this mysterious father appeared, and Gao Yi desperately hoped that the other party could give him an answer.

"I'm Zhang Shao, the father of Zhang Chaoxian."

On the other end of the phone, he introduced straight to the point: "The leader of the largest antique trading market in the East China Sea..."

He added a series of prefixes to himself like reporting the name of a dish, which made Gao Yizheng a little speechless.Suddenly, the topic changed: "I know, no matter how many glamorous identities you list, it's just a passing cloud to you."

Gao Yi frowned, not understanding what the other party was playing.

"However, what you may not know is..."

The old voice paused slightly, and finally said: "Many people call me..."

"A collector of the East China Sea."

Gao Yi's breath stagnated, and then he narrowed his eyes. The shock and surprise in his heart after the answer was revealed had obviously reached its peak.

It has to be said that the other party's intention was achieved, and Gao Yi couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately said: "It's you who got the tape left by the "seasonal storm". "

"Yes, it's me."

The old man named "Collector" smiled lightly on the other end of the phone: "Descartes, I don't want to say anything superfluous. The reason for contacting you this time is that there is a deal I want to cooperate with you. I don't know if you interested in?"

"trade?"

Gao Yi was not surprised.He tried his best to suppress the throbbing in his heart, and said lightly: "This is the first time I've heard that there are people who make deals with wicked people."

"Whether you are a villain or not, it doesn't matter for the time being."

The old man laughed loudly: "It's just that I know that compared to other unreasonable dictators and tyrants, Mr. Descartes, you seem more pure, more like a believer, or a seeker."

"It's all about clearing obstacles for the goal, but for you, the scenery along the way is equally important."

"And as long as everything does not become your obstacle, your bottom line, and even the virtues that extend from it, are highlights that cannot be ignored."

"Cooperating with you, I am sure of my own judgment."

Humph.

Gao Yi couldn't deny it, the other party had investigated him.I think I've been preparing for this so-called "deal" for a while.

He suspected that he just didn't follow Ms. Zhang, maybe this old man would come to him.

As for the content of the transaction, it is probably related to the missing Zhang Chaoxian in all likelihood.

"I do have some interest now."

Gao Yi nodded, and went straight to the point: "Tell me a place, and I'll come over to negotiate with you in person. I don't think you want everyone to just rely on the phone and talk in plain English, right?"

"Of course."

The collector chuckled, and reported the address readily: "Waterfront District, No. 45 Wenzhao Road... Donghai Journey Museum. Descartes, waiting for your visit."

"Ha ha……"

Gao Yi also smiled, but the smile was a little bad: "Mr. Collector, you may have miscalculated something."

"what?"

Gao Yi could imagine the puzzled expression on the face of the old man on the other side of the phone.

His tone was slightly playful: "I'm not Descartes. I'm Mr. Gao, from Descartes..."

"—Supreme leader."

beep.
