The sky darkened pretty early since it was late winter. The lights at the port were like twinkling stars in the night.
Gu Mang had only brought Bai Qingqing with her, while the rest of the people stayed behind at the villa to protect Gu Si. She was wearing a long black down jacket, scarf, mask, and a cap. Her hands were tucked into her pockets, and she felt the cold evening breeze hitting her face as soon as she got off the yacht. She pinched her nose bridge to make the mask stick closer to her nose while slowly walking down and checking out her surroundings.
On the journey here, she found out that the yacht was heading to Jijing Island’s sub-island, so it became obvious to her what auction her godfather had been talking about when she linked the information she knew together. Her parents addressed her godfather as "Shark", and his surname was Lan, while the person managing the Dark Web and the underground market was called Lan Sha. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Gu Mang raised her eyebrows in surprise. The information Shadow League had about Lan Sha was pathetic, but now another of the ten unsolvable mysteries in Shadow League was solved.
Lan Sha couldn’t step away from work, so he sent Lan Sen—his trusted aide—to fetch Gu Mang instead.
A row of black luxury cars was parked on the roadside. Lan Sen respectfully led Gu Mang to the limousine in front and opened the door for her. With his head slightly bowed, he said, "Please get in, Ms. Gu."
Gu Mang nodded and bent down to get into the car.
The vehicles then slowly drove away from the port and toward the twin towers.
It was only then that Bai Qingqing realized that they were on the sub-island. She looked at Gu Mang, who was sitting next to her, and said, "Young Lady, it’s quite lively on the island tonight because the underground market is hosting an annual auction. It’s a shame that the tickets are quite hard to get. Otherwise, you could go over and have some fun.
Those who were attending the auction had to make reservations in advance and undergo strict security checks before they could finally obtain the admission tickets. Thus, Bai Qingqing was certain that they wouldn’t be able to get any tickets since the auction was about to start soon. She found it a pity that they weren’t able to attend the auction since they happened to be here on the day of the auction itself.
Sitting across from them, Lan Sen suddenly turned toward Bai Qingqing and said, "There’s no need for you to feel sad. We’re heading to the auction venue right now."
"What?" Bai Qingqing thought she had heard wrong, and she instinctively turned to look at Gu Mang. We’re heading to the auction venue right now? Didn’t Young Lady say that she’s going to meet her godfather?
Gu Mang nonchalantly lifted her chin in Lan Sen’s direction. "Lan Sen works for my godfather, Lan Sha."
So the middle-aged man in a Chinese tunic suit who came to visit Young Lady at the villa that night was Lan Sha?! As Brahma had eliminated Gu Mang’s forces and the latter had fallen out with the former, Bai Qingqing had thought that Gu Mang was currently in a precarious situation. She never expected that Gu Mang would have the Dark Web’s support, so she was still a little dazed by this new information. The Young Lady has really strong backups...
