After finalizing the cooperation, Zhou Juan planned to strike while the iron was hot, taking into account that Gu Tongwan also needed to go up, but if the two of them went up together it would be like a duck in the mouth wanting to go to Africa, so Zhou Juan could not fail to consider this point.

Finally, it was suggested that one of the two could temporarily stay at Hupai as a visitor.

It is called an inspection, but in fact it is just to ensure that the transactions can be carried out smoothly, so one person must be left behind as a "hostage".

Although he could understand Zhou Juan's concerns, Gu Tongwan still asked, "How can we guarantee that people can return to the ground safely? Didn't the Hawks keep a close eye on them?"

"I will send two people with special abilities to accompany you." Zhou Juan replied.

"What level?" Gu Tongwan was quite curious about what kind of accompanying psychic the Tiger Clan would arrange for her.

"B grade, but in fact his level is far beyond that of ordinary B grade psychics. I can guarantee that unless he encounters an A grade psychic, no one of his level can be his opponent."

The Tiger Faction currently has a total of fifteen A-level psychics, thirty-two B-level psychics, and most of the rest are D and D levels. This number far exceeds the average wanderer base, and is even enough to compete with some large hunter guilds. However, the Tiger Faction's shortcoming is that the most important thing in the underground trading center is not the psychics, but the faction's chassis, resources, and management methods. From a business management model perspective, the Tiger Faction is indeed lagging behind the Hawk Faction.

Despite such strong strength, it is still unable to attract more business talents, which is also related to the hawks.

Although the Hawks did not have strong combat capabilities, they used many despicable means in the early stages to target shops run by the Tigers. This led to a gradual decline in the Tigers' underground credit rating, and even investment attraction was not smooth, with many attempts being blocked by the Hawks. Even those who had worked with the Tigers were eventually threatened, harassed, persecuted and other means of coercion.

"I just came from the bank where the Hawks are. They have more than two B-level psychics. Even if the two people you arranged have strength far beyond the B-level, if the other party has the advantage in numbers, they may not be able to take care of the safety of the other person."

"So you mean to terminate the cooperation?" Zhou Juan's face changed slightly and her tone became colder.

Gu Tongwan just smiled and said nothing. He clearly felt that the atmosphere in the room had become awkward and tense because of Zhou Juan's mood.

"I have a compromise solution. It depends on whether you can accept it."

The cold and fierce aura on Zhou Juan's body suddenly disappeared, as if the momentary murderous intent she had shown before was just an illusion.

Gu Tongwan leaned forward slightly and said calmly, "I heard that the underground exchange center has been connected to Exit E of the underground city. I wonder which faction is in charge of that place now?"

Zhou Juan didn't expect that he was so familiar with the terrain of the dungeon, and he even knew that the dungeon's exit E was nearby.

"That is indeed Exit E, but it is currently under the jurisdiction of the Self-Defense Forces. It is currently a gray area, which means that neither the Hawks nor the Tigers can get involved. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is the self-managed area of ​​the base. If you want to enter or exit there, you need a pass issued by the relevant department of the base."

Zhou Juan's eyes flashed with helplessness when she said this. After all, both they and the Hawks wanted to take Exit E at the beginning, but they didn't expect that the base was faster and directly sent troops to guard it. As long as anyone crossed the line, they would be shot to death.

"You'll take me to Exit E later."

"Mr. Gu, maybe you didn't understand what I meant. The 500 meters around Exit E are under the jurisdiction of the Self-Defense Forces. There are several drones deployed there. Once they find the enemy, it will set off an alarm. If the situation is serious, we will be shot by the Self-Defense Forces."

Previously, a few hawkish playboys did not believe it, so they insisted on breaking into the cordon. As a result, they were shot to pieces by hidden fully automatic firearms on the spot, and their bodies were finally gnawed by mutant rats in the cave, leaving no trace of them left.

"I'm talking about Exit E. You heard me right. Just do it. And then give me two hours after you send me out."

When Zhou Juan was about to speak, she met the coldness in Chen Yanxi's eyes, and she instantly calmed down a little.

Yes, those who can take the initiative to ask to go to Exit E may have some special relationship with the Self-Defense Forces. However, the base has never been involved in any matters related to the center. These two people cannot be sent by the higher-ups, so is it their personal relationship?

"What time?" Zhou Juan sighed and looked at Gu Tongwan with burning eyes.

"I will drive in at 7pm. You just need to find someone to pick me up then."

Zhou Juan nodded immediately: "Okay, I'll make the arrangements when the time comes."

----

Before leaving, Chen Yanxi put a copper plate he carried with him into her palm. "This is my ID card. I have asked Liu Hun to prepare for the meeting. I asked him to notify Yan Fan to drive your car to Exit E."

In fact, it was Chen Yanxi who proposed to conduct the transaction near Exit E. The reason for choosing the location there was to shorten the time of "picking up goods" to the greatest extent, and it would also easily expose the fact that she was carrying a space.

There were still a few boxes in her van that had been used to transport fruit. This time, when Yan Fan drove out, she could just put the guns in them.

"Don't worry, there are people from the Tiger Sect following us, so there won't be any problems on the road."

----

Gu Tongwan originally thought that the Tiger Clan would send two people whose height and weight were consistent with the Tiger Clan's style to follow him, but he did not expect that the people sent by the Tiger Clan this time were unexpectedly normal, and they did not even wear any decorations that could represent the Tiger Clan.

"Well, I think we should keep a low profile. After all, the Hawks will be keeping an eye on us after we go out this time, so I told my subordinates to be as low-key as possible."

Gu Tongwan nodded in agreement, "I think so too."

The two men were about the same height as Gu Tongwan, but with broad shoulders. The hands that occasionally showed from under their sleeves were surprisingly large. The backs of their hands were covered with protruding blue veins that seemed ready to burst out at any time, full of a daunting sense of power.

These two people seemed to be brothers, one was called Dajia and the other was called Zhongyi. So on the way, Gu Tongwan couldn't help but joked that there might be three brothers in their family, and there must be one called Xiaobing.

As a result, both of them looked at each other in surprise.

Zhong Yi: "Brother, you are really smart. We are indeed three brothers in our family, but my youngest brother Xiao Bing is not in the Tiger Clan now. He is in the Guard Team and is an official member of the Guard Team."

The smile on Gu Tongwan's face froze a little, and he thought to himself that it was really a blind cat catching a dead mouse. He could guess it right even out of random nonsense. This family's parents are really unique in naming.

"Guard? You are all from the Tiger Faction, but I am in the Guard. Is that okay?" It stands to reason that the brothers in the family are in different camps. If there is a contradiction or conflict between the two camps in the future, the relationship between the brothers will be affected to some extent because of their different positions, right?

Da Jia smiled and said, "It's okay. We in the Tiger Clan don't have so many rules. As long as we inform the gang early, it won't be that troublesome. After all, everyone has to find a way out for themselves. Besides, even if the two organizations fall out in the future, we are just small people at the bottom and can't affect the overall situation."

Gu Tongwan actually agreed with Dajia's opinion, so they chatted on the way there. The two were quite talkative, and he got a better understanding of the Tiger Faction from them.

"We, the Tiger Faction, value friendship and loyalty, unlike the Hawk Faction, which is treacherous and sinister. They only do despicable things. I won't talk about the sneaky things they have done over the years. Recently, they even sold drugs..."

Before Zhong Yi could finish his words, Da Jia kicked him in the calf, causing him to shut up immediately.

"Have you forgotten what the boss said about these things? You can't tell anyone about them. There are hawkish spies everywhere now. Don't cause trouble for the gang!"

Although Zhong Yi didn't finish his words, in fact, Gu Tongwan had heard a little about the various businesses of the ground exchange before he came down, especially one thing he heard from Yan Fan. It was said that there was a great possibility of improper transactions in the ground exchange underground, and some of the active people were human traffickers, and human trafficking became a kind of black transaction underneath. The base has been trying to find evidence to catch it all, but unfortunately, no conclusive evidence has been found. Every time they tried to play a long game to catch a big fish, the clues would be cut off. The main reason was that the other party was too cunning, and it seemed that someone inside the base was tipping off. Now, he inadvertently realized from Zhong Yi's words that this matter was most likely related to the hawks.

In fact, when I think about it carefully, when I entered the money house run by the former hawks, those beautiful girls who were walking among the crowd serving tea and water were a bit strange. Although their facial features were pretty, their eyes were like zombies, as if they had completely lost hope in life. Another thing was that the waitresses all had black leather necklaces around their necks, which looked more like dog chains than decorations.

The people who entered the money shop obviously had no discomfort at all about the waiter's strange behavior. Perhaps in their eyes, the money shop waiter was just a tool to be used occasionally to take advantage of them.

Although I would like to know more about the Land Exchange Center, judging from the attitudes of these two people, it would be difficult to get any more words out of them.

It is actually only a little over one kilometer from the Tiger Faction's jurisdiction to Exit E, but one has to pass through a three-way intersection. The other side of this intersection is completely within the Hawk Faction's jurisdiction, and the Hawk Faction may be waiting there.

"Mr. Gu, you have to follow us closely. Although it's only a few hundred meters to Exit E, there's no guarantee that the Hawks will take action within these few hundred meters."

"Don't worry, I will try my best to ensure my own safety and will not cause any trouble for you." Gu Tongwan grinned, which made Zhong Yi's heart tremble. If Sister Zhou hadn't told them that Mr. Gu didn't have any special abilities, they wouldn't have believed that there was such a weird-looking person in the world.

It’s no wonder that Dajia and Zhongyi thought this way. It’s just that Gu Tongwan’s disguise was too extraordinary.

The drooping eyelids made the originally clear and watery eyes lose their luster in an instant, and the shape of the eyes was also changed into triangular eyes. The nose was made into a flat nose with a large amount of prosthetic glue. What's more exaggerated is that the lip line is drawn on the mouth, and the mouth seems to be more than a circle larger than before. Dentures are pasted on the teeth, so that the teeth look slightly yellow, similar to tea stains. As long as she smiles, she gives people a wretched and greasy feeling.

At this moment, Zhong Yi couldn't help thinking, I don't know if he can find a wife with his ugly appearance. In the last days, girls are more demanding than before. The ratio of men to women has been unbalanced. According to the current global population base, the ratio of men to women has reached 5:1. If this continues, there will be even fewer bachelors. None of the three brothers in his family is married. Dajia is almost years old and still hasn't found a girlfriend. He has been very anxious in the past two years, but it's no use being anxious. Girls ask for houses and money as soon as they open their mouths. Don't even mention finding a second marriage, it's hard to find a third or fourth marriage.

Zhong Yi was a man who was not good at talking. He came to Gu Tongwan and couldn't help but said, "Brother, how old are you this year? Are you married?"

Gu Tongwan shook his head and smiled shyly: "No..."

"Well, I knew that you, my brother, are just as miserable as me. Even I can't find a wife, let alone you."

Gu Tongwan showed a bit of depression on his face, but did not answer. Da Jia next to him frowned, wondering why these two people were not nervous at all. This Mr. Gu was obviously an ordinary person. He must not hold them back later.

Zhong Yi was a carefree person. Seeing that Gu Tongwan didn't answer, he asked curiously, "By the way, is the brother who came with you a hunter you hired?"

Gu Tongwan thought for a while and decided to admit it, so he smiled faintly and nodded.

"I knew that guy was a hunter you hired. His aura was not simple. He should be a B-level psychic like us, right?"

"Probably, I don't know the details." Gu Tongwan did not intend to reveal too much information about Chen Yanxi, so he could only give an ambiguous answer for now.

"Where did you find this guy from? He looks like he's not easy to mess with."

"I'm not sure. Someone else introduced it to me."

"Then I guess you're pretty lucky this time. You didn't make a mistake. You can make us brothers see through him. He must be a high-level psychic. No wonder you have the confidence to stay and act as a guarantor."

The three of them were chatting and unknowingly arrived at the fork in the road mentioned earlier. At this time, Da Jia suddenly became cautious and made a gesture to keep quiet before saying, "There is one person on each side, and two people in front. Tsk, they are not easy to deal with."

"Brother, aren't they just a few low-level psychics..."

Before Zhong Yi could finish his words, he heard Da Jia shout, and then Zhong Yi was pushed out by a force.

As a result, a crater suddenly appeared where Zhong Yi had just stood!
