"Found it."
Chu Wuyan hurriedly walked in, said only three words, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Where did he get such a large quantity of weapons?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked curiously.
In a small place like Hong Kong, with its gun control laws, acquiring so many weapons is no simple matter.
After leaving the banquet yesterday, Lin Xiaoxiao sent Wang Dazhuang away and asked Chu Wuyan to investigate the matter.
Chu Wuyan had been traveling all night and for a morning and a half without stopping to rest, let alone drink water. He was so thirsty that he drank three cups of water before he could stop.
He put down his cup and said, "That old guy is very cunning. He bought them from private arms dealers and smuggling groups through several different channels."
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded.
It was pretty much as she had guessed.
Aside from these illegal channels, she couldn't imagine what other extraordinary means he could use to acquire so many weapons.
"But what are they buying weapons for?"
Wasn't Perry and those few E-country agents' mission to transfer some kind of 'military technical data'? How come they're involved in arms dealing now?
Chu Wuyan pondered for a moment and said, "I guess it's related to the new weapons that country T bought from country E."
Rumors had circulated long ago that country T was going to buy weapons from country E.
It's said that the money has been paid, but the goods have never arrived.
Lin Xiaoxiao leaned back in her chair, toying with the cup in her hand. After hearing his words, she suddenly laughed, "Country T buys weapons from Country E, and Country E buys from arms dealers. What good stuff do you think they can buy?"
The most cutting-edge technology should always be in our own hands.
Chu Wuyan also laughed, "Buying weapons from arms dealers is much cheaper."
They collect money from those who offer the most and buy things from those who offer the cheapest.
This deal is incredibly lucrative.
I just don't know if Thailand will buy into it.
Lin Xiaoxiao put down her cup. "Whether it's arms dealers or smuggling groups, most of the weapons they have are remnants from World War II. Compared to today, they are far more outdated."
"You're right, they're too cunning."
There was nothing that Country T could do but swallow this loss if it refused to comply.
Lin Xiaoxiao sighed.
It seems that a war between the Yue and Hua kingdoms is inevitable sooner or later.
If Country E is this stingy, it must be prepared to provide Vietnam with a continuous stream of military equipment aid.
On the eve of a major battle, we must be careful with our resources.
In order to avoid making a big fuss, they even directly assigned the escort mission to the gang.
You can avoid a lot of trouble by spending just a little money.
These people from Japan are quite shrewd with their calculations.
As an opponent and enemy, Lin Xiaoxiao said that this behavior of trying to reduce trouble for herself was bothering her eyes.
She's going to cause them trouble.
The next day, Lin Xiaoxiao waited for a while in the morning, but Wen Mo and Wen Shiyu did not come. She thought the results had not come out yet, so she took some time to go to the gang.
"Boss, I thought about it all night again." Wang Dazhuang walked in listlessly, staring at his panda eyes.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't even look up. "What have you figured out?"
Wang Dazhuang perked up, "The four major gangs have more than 20,000 henchmen combined. How could they not handle that batch of weapons? I still don't think it's very reliable."
Merchant ships, arms, voyages, piracy, Southeast Asia...
Any three words combined together feel fraught with danger.
The Black Tiger Gang had worked hard to grow to its current size, and the gang was slowly beginning to transform. Wang Dazhuang felt there was no need to do such dangerous things anymore.
So I spent the whole night weighing the pros and cons of this matter.
Ultimately, an unreliable conclusion was reached.
Lin Xiaoxiao wasn't surprised at all by his discovery. She calmly said, "Of course they have the ability to take it over, but the risk is too high. Bringing in the smaller gangs serves to share the risk."
Wang Dazhuang became anxious, "Then we absolutely cannot get involved."
Lin Xiaoxiao waved her hand, "Don't worry, we won't get involved, we'll just cause trouble."
I never intended to get involved from beginning to end.
Wang Dazhuang was relieved to see that she knew what she was doing.
Lin Xiaoxiao watched him leave, her eyes deepening.
There was more she hadn't said.
The four major gangs brought in the smaller gangs, which must have been for the purpose of sharing the risks, but she believed the main reason was that they were all wary of Perry.
Perry paid them such high hiring fees, almost a fifth of the value of the weapons.
It looks incredibly strange.
Of course, there are two possibilities.
First, just as Lin Xiaoxiao had guessed, Perry wanted to save himself trouble by spending a little money, without having to make a big fuss. After all, this amount of money is a lot for one person, but for a country, it's just a drop in the ocean.
All that's needed is to transport the weapons to country T.
Secondly, and this is why the four major gangs are wary of him: if Perry goes back on his word after the goods have been delivered to their destination and intends to abandon them, with so many smaller gangs protecting them, the four major gangs could have easily gotten away long ago.
It can be said that danger and opportunity coexist.
As she thought about it, Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but smile, her happiness visibly evident.
We should be on guard; we really should be.
With the test results on her mind, Lin Xiaoxiao only stayed for a short while before returning home.
As soon as I reached the alley entrance, I saw Wen Mo's familiar car.
Thinking it was Wen Mo, I walked over to greet him when the car window rolled down, revealing a man I vaguely remembered from a quick glance sitting in the driver's seat.
The people in Uncle's bodyguard team.
“Where is Superintendent Wen?” she asked.
