"Hehe, between us bros, no need to explain to me. No problem, I totally trust your arrangement is the best!"

Though everyone seemed amicable over the phone, Li Yan still felt a slight crack between the two of them!

It’s not because this batch of antiques only yields half the profit, but rather their respective attitudes in this event!

In Zheng Yixuan’s view, he may be a bit out of control. As for Li Yan, whether he’s showing disrespect or using him, it doesn’t matter; they help each other originally. The issue is he has his own plans! One is that mysterious stone, and the other is not wanting to push Rose and her group into an enemy’s situation.

Each person’s attitude towards this event determines how it’s handled and its outcome, causing a bit of disharmony between them.

At least on the surface, everyone seemed satisfied.

...

After ending the call, Li Yan knocked on the bathroom door to let Sonia out.

"I’ve arranged everything, it’s time to tell me the specific action steps."

Sonia pointed to the bag just now and said, "Anyway, let’s simply put on some makeup. We’ll talk about it there!"

Li Yan hesitated a bit after looking. But thinking it over made sense. If he doesn’t appear as himself in front of the camera, many accidents could happen tonight! Better safe than sorry.

Under a slightly wary state against Sonia, Li Yan quickly put on the wig inside, along with sideburns and a beard. They usually require makeup when executing tasks. He was experienced with these simple disguises, and it didn’t take much time.

Sonia smiled and glanced at him, "Not bad, not bad, you now look like a handsome mixed-race guy. Your skin is yellow, eyes are black, hair and beard are yellow too."

Li Yan looked in the mirror; while acquaintances might recognize him closely, a rough glance certainly wouldn’t link him to his original appearance. Like far-away footage or images from cameras.

"Soon, should we stop speaking Yun Country language?"

"Normally switch to international language. If you don’t like speaking it, when no one’s around, speaking softly, I can use Yun Country language to communicate," Sonia offered flexibility.

Li Yan gave a thumbs up, "Your language skills are quite impressive."

"Just alright, as long as you learn with focus, it’s not a problem. Actually, many people in Celestial Continent speak multiple languages. Honestly, my Law language and Lan language are just average. Let’s go!" Sonia came over and took Li Yan’s arm.

"We’re heading out like this? No discussion on the six factions?" Li Yan purposely asked.

"No need, we’ll meet and clash soon, talking more is pointless." Sonia went out with him.

The so-called six factions are very concerned about those shareholders, not Li Yan bluffing, though indeed it’s somewhat forced. Aside from Rose’s group and Old Ten who want to seize the antiques, the auction house hires security, along with the hotel security system, both responsible for tonight’s antique safety, obviously ’very concerned’ too. Besides, Chen Junwei though alone, isn’t affiliated with any side, can be counted as a faction, right? Li Yan, with his ambiguous status, is also crucial to them, hence can be a faction too.

So, strictly speaking, he wasn’t lying; there are six factions very concerned about the antiques, even including buyers, sellers, the auction house, could make up more. He used ’very concerned’ misleading Sonia to think six factions want to rob the antiques.

Since she didn’t want to ask more, Li Yan certainly didn’t bother to explain.

Leaving the room, passing through the elevator, arriving at the multi-functional conference hall on the third floor. Exiting the elevator, the two appeared passionately embracing, occasionally saying a few words in international language. When nobody’s around, Sonia pulled him to the wall, smiling at Li Yan closely, posing like flirting lovers, began speaking softly.

"Did you understand this layout? That multi-functional conference hall over there is tonight’s auction venue. Whereas the smaller adjacent lounge is now arranged as a temporary warehouse. Because during the auction, it’s convenient to move, therefore right next door. Now also the most heavily guarded place, the auction house hired a batch of security guards..."

Listening to her introduction, Li Yan relied on a recent glance to know what the place was. Then he pretended to kiss her, turned his head aside, seized the chance to look over, indeed achieving post guards every three steps and sentries every five steps.

After slightly touching her lips, he moved away and softly asked, "What is your plan?"

Sonia smiled, "Now it’s ’our’ plan... Before the auction begins, all antiques will already arrive. The hotel will then encounter an accident, shocking everyone. At that moment, in this area, massive smoke bombs and tear gas attacks will occur. Our people are well-prepared, once the attack is effective, will solve the security with anesthetic bullets, hand-to-hand attacks, then take the antiques away. Rest assured, unless there’s intense resistance, theoretically we won’t kill anyone."
