"Alright then, I'll bring you along." Guo Lintian agreed, but said with some concern, "But Chen Ge, this is not a banquet for Chen Mingyong to invite us alone, there are quite a few other people from other families and companies. Even if he makes things difficult for us, he can't make a move at that time."
"Haha, Uncle Guo, I still know this!" Chen Ge burst out laughing.
"Just this one thing about me, what about you guys, how is it going with the snooping, did you find out where Liang Lu is being held?" Receiving Chen Ge's assurance, Guo Lin Tian was relieved.
Chen Ge told him about the situation in the past few hours.
"If you look at it this way, there is a good chance that Liang Lu is there. You made the right choice, from what I know about Chen Mingyong, this man is very tough and ruthless. There have been some bad words coming out of the War Department in the past."
"If you go over there recklessly today, you are likely to fall into his trap, so it is better to consider weighing up the perfection again before you say anything."
Guo Lintian nodded in satisfaction, he found that Chen Ge was very strict and cautious in his thinking and almost never did anything impulsive.
"Right Master, Mr Chen Ge, the auction will be held in a few days, do you want to prepare in advance?" When he saw them finish, the butler spoke up.
"Is the money all ready?" In front of Chen Ge, Guo Lin Tian asked directly.
"The things and money are all ready, and the quota has been passed on." The butler nodded, "But this auction is on a small island in the Southern Ocean, so you need to move a day early, in which case you will have to leave the day after tomorrow."
"Do you have a problem with that?" Guo Lintian looked at Chen Ge.
"I don't have a problem, anytime." Chen Ge shrugged his shoulders.
"Then attend Chen Mingyong's cocktail party tomorrow. Take a break the day after tomorrow and leave early in the morning after the big day to attend the auction." Guo Lin Tian nodded his head. In a deep voice, he said.
"What auction, how come it's still on an island in the Southern Ocean, how come I've never heard of it before." Bai Xiaofei was at a loss.
"An auction for cultivators, it's useless to talk to you." Chen Ge explained.
"Useless is useless, so can I go along and take a look?" Bai Xiaofei was very curious, ever since he knew that Chen Ge had such an identity. His three views had almost collapsed, and from that, he had also become very curious about this identity.
"The tickets are only for three people." The butler said.
"What a pity, then." Hearing this, Bai Xiaofei deflated.
"But if you really want to attend. I'll just let you have it." The butler continued his words and said, "I've already attended quite a few times with the master, so there's no point in going again."
"Is that alright?" Bai Xiaofei looked at Chen Ge, and then at Guo Lintian.
"It was supposed to be a one-time trip for fun, so you can go along if you want to. It's good to have the housekeeper stay at home, so we can be informed if anything happens." Guo Lintian mulled it over for a moment and didn't refuse.
"But I'm not a cultivator, so there's nothing wrong if I go, right?" Bai Xiaofei asked with some concern.
"There are plenty of non-cultivators, including some of the big clans who will be attending, and there are not only things there that can only be used by cultivators. There are even more heavenly treasures." Guo Lintian shook his head and explained.
"That's good, then." Bai Xiaofei breathed a sigh of relief.
"Good. That's all there is to do, it's late you all should go back and rest." Guo Lintian yawned, if he hadn't been waiting for Chen Ge to return with this news. He would have gone to bed long ago.
Back in his room, Chen Ge lay on his bed thinking about this matter.
In the upscale villa area near the War Department, Chen Mingyong was holding a glass of red wine, and in front of him stood a few of his beloved men.
"Go back and tell your respective men to be smart tomorrow, do you hear me?" Finishing it off in one gulp, Chen Mingyong raised his head and spoke in a low tone.
"It's all been arranged, there will definitely be no accidents tomorrow." The inner circle looked at each other. At the same time, they replied.
"Deputy Chief, you say that Chen Ge will really come?" One of the bald-headed heartbrothers asked.
"Why do you think he won't come?" Chen Mingyong poured another cup of wine.
"Since he entered South Vietnam, we have lost all news of him." Baldy took two steps forward, he had been with Chen Mingyong for the longest time, so he could say some things directly without having to worry about it.
"That's a good question to ask. Then why don't you all guess where this Chen Ge will go after he enters our South Vietnam, he can't sleep on the street, can he?" Chen Mingyong came to be interested as he put down his wine glass and changed to another position to sit on the sofa.
"Probably sleep in hotels and guesthouses." Baldy said.
"Or maybe staying at some friend's house." The other minders followed suit with their guesses.
"What you all say is possible, but you've overlooked one thing: it's been a week since we got Liang Lu back, and the Guo family must have known about it. And Chen Ge is in our South Vietnam, so Guo Lintian will definitely beg Chen Ge for help, and Chen Ge knows Liang Lu and can't refuse."
"So Chen Ge must be living in Guo's house right now and planning how to find Liang Lu and get her out. He just can't guess that Liang Lu is in our hands."
As Chen Mingyong said that, he couldn't stop a smile from appearing on his face. He looked as if he was sure of his victory.
"So that's how it is!"
"The Vice Chief is indeed the smartest leader in our entire war department!"
A group of people at the bottom opened their mouths to agree, indeed, they had never thought in that direction. When they were working for Chen Mingyong today, they were still wondering why they had to suddenly hold a commercial reception, which was not something they needed to do at all before.
"So that's why, follow me and watch and learn well, in the future your position in the War Department will become higher and higher, learn to take the initiative to think and do things for me, you can't let me lead all the time, you won't grow that way." Chen Mingyong pointed at them.
"Many thanks to the Vice Chief for the promotion!" Several people all bowed their heads in thanks.
"Tomorrow, check one side again to make sure nothing will go wrong, as long as Chen Ge dares to come, catch him straight away, then I will let him see Liang Lu die in front of me!" Chen Mingyong waved his hand and said with a yawn.
After all these people had left, he hummed a song, deciding that even if Chen Ge had that much strength, he definitely wouldn't be able to run away from him.
Only what he didn't know was that although the plan was good, Chen Ge had already guessed it.
The next day.
Chen Ge did not get up very early, now that the matter of You Long Island had been put aside for the time being and Liang Lu had made progress, he was waiting to go to Chen Mingyong's reception this evening to see if he could pry out a bit of information.
As he lay in bed, Chen Ge thought about all the situations he had encountered in the last few months, thinking about all these things he had encountered in his search for a way to ascend to Phantom Dragon Island.
