Chapter 1237

“Let them enter . ” Scorpion watched the screen ahead . The instant Qin Mo and the others entered the shed, he had already been watching . There wasn’t any sound but he could see their actions and behavior .
Indeed, it was the same as the rumors had said . He wasn’t sure about everything but they were definitely rich . It didn’t seem like a lie . However, he was worried about their identity . But since Old O didn’t detect anything wrong, he could just verify it superficially and try to interact with them more to buy more time .
Scorpion stood up with a glass of wine and switched off the screen . The least he could do was not to allow them to find out he was watching . “Change the room . ”
“Yes . ” All the men in the room carried a rifle .
In Country T, it was legal to carry guns . Moreover, they were located in a place with lax regulations . However, the drug control in Country T was becoming more stringent than before, which was the reason Scorpion wanted to get rid of all the goods on hand .
It was easier to deal with in Country T because the people would give him concessions as long as the amount was right . The problem was the export . Even though they had business dealings overseas, China had the biggest market share .
However, China had partnered with many countries to exert pressure on the TM areas, seemingly trying to eradicate them entirely . But some of the legislation couldn’t be imposed in their area, making the control inadequate . They were worried that information about them spread . They could remain fearless because no one knew where to find them in the Golden Triangle .
This was just a distribution point . They used this distribution point to sound them out, to figure out if he was indeed a wealthy and well-connected businessman looking for doing business and hadn’t any ulterior motives .
Although Scorpion seemed to be the mastermind, handling the execution, in reality, all the instructions came from Kawang .
With such a huge entrance, even Old O assumed Kawang would appear . That was what he had told Prince and the others .

Prince might look silly at times but he had always been sharp with strong perceptive abilities . Before he came, he had asked their boss about his reaction should they meet Kawang .
However, he hadn’t said much . “He won’t be there . The meeting today is just to sound us out . ”
Prince hadn’t understood back then but now that he saw Scorpion welcoming them, he finally understood what Boss had meant .
Scorpion was dressed entirely in black, with a tattoo on his face . When he turned, his gaze held a menacing glint that was unlike an ordinary person .
“Sit . ” Scorpion spoke the native language . He held a wine glass in one hand, a threatening aura around him .
Prince didn’t pale in comparison though . He leaned back into his chair and went straight to the point . “How many goods do you have? I’ll take everything . ”
After listening to the translated words, Scorpion leaned back . “We do have a lot of goods but China has a very tight control at the borders right now . There are many connections that I’m not able to touch into . The goods wouldn’t make it through the customs . It’s impossible for our people to take out the goods easily . We can’t estimate the quantity but Old O should have told you, quantity is not an issue with our planting spots . It depends on whether you can guarantee the goods pass through the customs . ”
All of them were well versed with T language but they pretended not to understand . After listening to the translation, Prince spoke, “We have our ways . ”
Scorpion arched a brow . “Oh? I need the details . ”
Details? Prince paused slightly . He didn’t continue since his actions and behavior had been carefully constructed by his boss before they had entered . But now they wanted him to give exact details on how to smuggle their goods through customs? This hadn’t been part of their preparation .

Scorpion was still watching him, his eyes narrowing when he hesitated .
Prince knew that look; it was suspicion, conjecturing, and even danger . His hands tightened on the sides of the chair .
The air turned cold and his heart rate started to change . The people at the side all held a rifle and had turned their attention towards them . It was a tense situation .
Scorpion was about to ask the second question . Right at this moment, Qin Mo started explaining casually, “If the details are leaked, the benefits of certain members would be compromised . Our boss has connections over at customs . It isn’t just the customs though, our connections span into other areas as well . In China, doing business is all about connections . We can’t guarantee that all the shipments can pass through customs but we can get news on when the controls would be less stringent . The reason behind our large business is because of our connections . ” Qin Mo described it in a realistic manner .
In just one second, Scorpion’s expression shifted . All these years, he had always wanted to create his own connections in China . But he had realized that background was essential for that . From their conversation, the situation was clear, they weren’t just wealthy, they probably came from old and distinct family lineage, with connections amassed through the generations .
He had heard their conversation with Old O . The person wearing the leather jacket was a second-generation rich kid . The real brain and mastermind came from his investment consultant . Back then, he hadn’t understood why such a capable person would be willing to work for a second-generation rich kid . But now that he had gotten the facts sorted out, it was due to Prince’s background .
Scorpion pushed his hands down .
Prince knew the business deal was almost ruined . That wasn’t all, Scorpion’s suspicion had also reached a certain level . His boss was probably the only one who could eradicate his suspicion so easily .
Qin Mo wasn’t done talking though . He continued, “We are here to earn money and are more concerned with the safety aspects, especially after the goods pass through customs . But till this moment, we haven’t seen any sincerity from your side, your side isn’t even willing to show us your real boss . We can reschedule another time when your boss is willing to meet us . ”
Qin Mo stood up, his suit straight and firm, looking like a professional businessman . “We look at the terms . ”

Seeing his intention to leave, Scorpion stood up . “Sir, you don’t have to rush, we are sincere in the business proposal but Chinese border controls have been tightened . It would be good to act with caution . As for our boss, he has the same view, it would be bad if a spy managed to enter our territory . Once the plan is firmed up and the cooperation is finalized, our boss will be here . But before that, we still have to monitor the situation . ”
“Judging from your words, you don’t trust us?” Prince interrupted appropriately . “Such trouble . ” This was part of his disguised persona, his actions an accurate portrayal .
Scorpion laughed, walking over . “We are as sincere as you are but there are things we have to look into . ”
“You can look however you want . ” Qin Mo glanced over, his voice pristine . “But our time is tight, we need an answer by tomorrow . That is our limit . If you wish to continue the discussion, please contact us anytime . ” With that, Qin Mo glanced at Prince .
Prince was confused . Weren’t they supposed to finish the discussion today? Could it be?
Prince glanced over at Qin Mo’s hand . His long fingers tapped his pockets, the seemingly innocent action a signal . “Unexpected circumstance, retreat immediately . ” Just four words .
In that moment, Prince could feel a shift in the air . They couldn’t tell the change in the circumstance . Only Fatty knew what had happened .
The moment Fatty saw the familiar face, his heart sank . Fan Jia!The mastermind behind the unjust cases in Jiang City . What was she doing here? From their information, she had never dealt with such matters .
When Fatty saw that face, he immediately sent out a message . The intrusion mechanism he had created only allowed one message to be sent out . Just then, Fatty was reminded of something else . Fan Jia had seen their boss before!
Fatty widened his eyes in shock, trying to get in touch with his boss again . It was a complicated situation . If they didn’t complete the discussion, Scorpion was never going to let them go . It was inevitable for them to drag the talk .
When Qin Mo heard the words, “She has entered”, his gaze deepened . “I’m sure you have your considerations, we have ours as well . If there is too much to think about, you can provide us with some entertainment . Ss for the formal affairs, we can discuss after your side is done with the investigations . ”
Scorpion laughed . “Of course, we have endless entertainment here . ”
Prince was clueless about his boss’s diversion but he knew it had to be due to a change in the circumstances .
Magician and Hunter had conducted many missions outside the borders but this was the first time they had encountered one where beauties were sent to accompany them . More importantly, their boss indeed chose one from the bunch, a faint smile on his face . “You can take the rest . ”
The girl that was picked felt her heart race because she had never seen such a classy man before . She was definitely in luck!
Hunter and the others watched in disbelief as their boss left with the girl . Their boss was the sort who avoided females under normal circumstances .
Prince muttered to himself internally, Little Black Fellow, this is how your brother acts during missions .
