Chapter 552 Intruder
Chapter 552 Intruder
Susie thought that Chu Zihang was somewhat desperate and she didn't think that Old Bunin was a trustworthy person.
But she also followed Chu Zihang's arrangements.
Anyway, there is no need to run around now. It is not bad to have a safe place to hide.
It is hard to tell whether old Bunin is really concerned or just pretending. He has been busy arranging searches these days, and all the hunters in Russia have been mobilized by old Bunin.
Behind such actions there is a huge expenditure. The hunter group is like a machine, and the burning of the machine is real money.
I don't think there is any need to waste one's money like this when acting. Maybe old Bunin is really looking for cooperation.
"The party is about to begin." Su Si knocked on Chu Zihang's door.
"Okay." The door opened, and behind the door was Chu Zihang, dressed in a suit and tie.
Today's banquet was invited by old Bunin. Those who attended the banquet were all prominent Russian figures, some in the open and some in the dark.
Old Bunin said it very clearly, and we can take this opportunity to find out, maybe someone has seen Lu Mingfei and the others.
Chu Zihang decided to try his luck.
However, Susie was a little worried. If Old Bunin really helped find Lu Mingfei and the others, what would she do about Old Bunin’s request?
They are not qualified to ask the academy for help. The academy just wants to catch them.
Su Si told Chu Zihang about her worries, but Chu Zihang just said "It's okay" lightly.
"Let's go." Chu Zihang said lightly.
"Inquire separately?" Susie asked.
"Let's go together." Chu Zihang walked in front of Su Si.
When they turned the corner, a waiter would bend down and guide them in the direction.
The dazzling crystal chandelier emits a soft and dazzling light, illuminating the entire space like daylight. The huge French windows have curtains hanging lightly, and the bustling night scene of the city outside the window becomes an excellent background.
Ladies in gorgeous evening gowns and men in smart suits, holding champagne glasses, chatted quietly, with elegant smiles on their faces. Each table was set with exquisite tableware, silver knives and forks gleamed coldly under the lights, and crystal clear goblets were filled with top-quality red wine.
On the central stage, a small symphony orchestra was playing melodious music, adding a touch of elegance to the dinner.
The arrival of Chu Zihang and Susie attracted old Bunin to greet them personally, and the guests were all curious about who they were.
After Old Bunin left, people came one after another to chat with Chu Zihang.
Susie knew very well that Bunin's action was deliberate to help them obtain information faster.
It was somewhat difficult for two of them, who had no decent status, to talk to these self-important dignitaries.
Unfortunately, they did not obtain any useful information. Very few people knew about the battle at Black Swan Port.
This is very rare, and there is no one who knows the whole story at all.
As for the suspicious person, someone mentioned that a guy who had not been seen for a long time appeared in the Russian hunter circle. No one knew his name, only a code name: Rain.
This guy disappeared for twenty years and many people almost forgot about him.
But he suddenly appeared a few days ago, and not many people knew about his return. It was said that he was also looking for someone.
It sounds like it has nothing to do with Lu Mingfei, and it doesn't seem like Xia Mi either. It could be Ling.
Chu Zihang held on to a glimmer of hope and wanted to find someone who could contact this "Rain".
"Who do you think this Yu is?" Susie asked.
"Zero." Chu Zihang said, "The possibility is very small, but we have to try."
"Zero's age shouldn't match, right?" Susie was puzzled.
"Zero is older than us." Chu Zihang said.
"How much older?" Susie didn't expect that the Russian loli in the academy was actually older than her.
Obviously looks like a minor.
"Not sure, there should be one round." Chu Zihang didn't know Ling's exact age, so he could only give a vague estimate.
Susie's mind flashed with the image of Zero, and the more she thought about it, the more she couldn't understand it.
"How is it?" Old Bunin stepped closer and asked in a low voice, "Did you get any useful information?"
"There is no more accurate information." Chu Zihang said.
"Your friends are very good at hiding. I asked the Romanov family, and they said the princess did not return. They are also anxious to find the princess. Perhaps you can join forces with them." Old Bunin suggested.
"If there is really no other way, maybe we can only join forces with them." Chu Zihang nodded and asked, "Mr. Bunin, do you know 'Rain'?"
"Are you talking about the hunter?" said old Bunin.
"Yes. Have you seen him?"
"No one knows what he looks like." Old Bunin talked about the past. "He once took my commission and kept his face covered from beginning to end. Judging from his figure, he is a man, good at using a sword, a Japanese sword, which is very similar to your weapon, Mr. Chu."
Chu Zihang frowned. This characteristic did not match Zero.
It seems that there is no need for confirmation anymore.
"By the way, he is coming to the banquet tonight." Old Bunin said, "But he is not qualified to enter the meeting hall, so he should be outside the manor."
"Got it." Chu Zihang heard someone calling out Old Bunin's name, so he said, "Mr. Bunin, go ahead and do your work. I'll ask more questions."
"Well, it doesn't matter if we don't get anything tonight. I have another auction next week. People attending the auction will know more than the guests at this banquet. We can try again then." Old Bunin smiled.
Chu Zihang saw something else in Old Bunin's smile. He asked coldly, "Mr. Bunin wants me to participate in the auction. He must have other purposes, right?"
"I'll explain all this clearly." Old Bunin turned around.
Before he could take a step, an explosion shook the entire manor.
The guests looked around in confusion, and when the next explosion sounded, they scattered and hid, skillfully finding cover.
Old Bunin's expression became serious and he took the intercom from the waiter to confirm the situation.
Chu Zihang was worried that they were being pursued by soldiers from the academy, so he went to the window to check the situation.
There was a raging fire outside, and flames were burning. Old Bunin's men were shooting in all directions.
Chu Zihang knew the weapons and equipment of this manor. For ordinary people, it would not be an exaggeration to call it an iron wall.
There are artillery batteries in all directions, and except for the only road that allows safe entry and exit, everywhere else is a minefield.
In addition, the area of the manor is a no-fly zone. No matter who the plane is, as long as it enters this area, old Bunin does not need to give any orders, the guns will be raised and the air will be attacked.
Even if it is an academy, it would not be easy to invade here.
"Okay, I got it." Old Bunin put down the intercom, walked up the steps, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, please remain calm and stay in the meeting room. It's safe here, and we are dealing with the intruders."
The rich and powerful have their own calmness, and old Bunin's words calmed the guests down.
