In the private room of the teahouse, Wu Entai looked indifferent, as if he hadn't heard the conversation between Lin Haizhen and the three men he had hired.
There was only one explanation for his behavior: he wasn't worried about being betrayed.
Lin Haizhen wouldn't give up her struggle for survival just because of Wu Entai's attitude. Even though her attempts at enticement and coercion didn't work, she didn't give up. After hearing what the other party had to say, she immediately added,
"Brother, once you're out on the sea … do you think you'll still have control over your own lives?"
The man who had been interacting with Lin Haizhen laughed and looked at Wu Entai. "You don't have to worry about that. We've asked around, and Boss Wu's reputation is still guaranteed. "
Wu Entai nodded with satisfaction and raised three fingers. "Friend, just because of what you've said, I'll give you more when we reach Indonesia."
"Thank you, Boss Wu." The man was overjoyed and saluted Wu Entai.
The two men who were holding Lin Haizhen and Ah Qing were also smiling.
Wu Entai was able to hold up a mountain at a young age and compete with the older generation of drug dealers. Firstly, he focused on the high-end market and didn't have much of an impact on the traditional drug market.
Secondly, he relied on his ruthlessness and trustworthiness. While he was infamous in the circle, his reputation was unquestionable. Until now, he had never had a bad record of killing the donkey after it had outlived its usefulness or going back on his words.
The two men echoed each other, and Lin Haizhen knew that she had completely lost today. She asked Wu Entai in a straightforward manner, "Ah Tai, I'm convinced! What can I do in exchange for my life, Lin Haizhen? Give me an explanation. "
When the smile on Wu Entai's face disappeared, so did the coldness in his eyes. He looked at Lin Haizhen expressionlessly and raised a finger. "Guangzhi's losses and the cost of my men's operation will be on you."
"No problem, you can name your price." Lin Haizhen nodded without hesitation.
Wu Entai raised another finger. "You'll transport the goods through Macau. My men will be in charge of the delivery. I won't shortchange you, but you're not allowed to get involved in the details. "
Lin Haizhen was silent for a few seconds. She also stretched out two fingers. "I want 20% of the net profit. No discussion."
Wu Entai seemed to admire Lin Haizhen for daring to talk about profits with him under such circumstances. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly as she nodded, acknowledging his request.
"F * ck, this Lin Haizhen wants money more than her life!" Qu Sen couldn't help but say.
"Ha, that's because he's smart." Gao Sheng smiled disdainfully and said, "If he dares to agree carelessly, will Wu Entai believe his sincerity?"
While Qu Sen and Gao Sheng were talking, the tense atmosphere in the private room eased a little. Wu Entai gave a look to the two men who were holding Lin Haizhen and Yeqing hostage. The two men withdrew their knives and retreated to the side.
Yeqing felt pain where the knife was pressed against his neck. He touched it with his hand and saw that there was some blood on his fingers. His face, which was already frighteningly pale, was instantly drained of all color.
His eyes rolled back. Looking at his posture, he looked like he would faint in the next second.
There was also a trace of blood on Lin Haizhen's neck. A drop of blood was slowly sliding down the side of his Adam's apple. However, he didn't seem to feel it at all. His eyes were fixed on Wu Entai, who was sitting opposite him.
He knew that with Wu Entai's personality, he wouldn't let him go so easily.
"There's one more thing I'm very curious about." As expected, Wu Entai spoke again. He tilted his head slightly and asked, "How did you know about my arrangements in Guangzhi?"
"I hired a private detective to keep an eye on you. He should have installed a camera in your house." Lin Haizhen didn't hesitate to sell out Bao Liang.
Wu Entai looked like he suddenly realized something. He chuckled and said, "He should be an expert. He's not cheap, right?"
"It's not very expensive, but he's really quite capable." When Lin Haizhen spoke, there was a slight smile on his face. Before Wu Entai could ask, he said, "Ethnic Alley in the south of the city. There's a billboard on the wall. If you're interested, you can easily find it if you take a trip there. "
"I should get to know this kind of expert." The smile on Wu Entai's face widened.
"Where is Bao Liang now?" Gao Sheng asked in the command car.
"He's in the technical department of the Municipal Bureau. He's deciphering the code with the cryptographer sent by the Provincial Department," the leader of the technical investigation team answered immediately.
"Report the situation to Captain Jia and ask him to make the arrangements. Tell Bao Liang that he has a 'big client' coming to him soon."
As soon as Gao Sheng finished speaking, the leader of the technical investigation team suddenly shouted, "Captain Gao, the comparison results are out."
Qu Sen and Gao Sheng looked at the display of the comparison server. The photo displayed on it was one of the three unidentified men in the private room. It was the one who had been talking to Wu Entai.
Before Gao Sheng could ask, the leader of the technical investigation team had already found the relevant summary through the comparison results. He read, "In the early morning of February 15, 2002, three suspects were stealing slag from the Little Qinling gold mine when they were discovered by the mine protection patrol team.
The three suspects resisted with knives, causing three deaths and five injuries to the patrol team members before escaping. The local public security department was unable to find them. After the incident, it was estimated that the missing slag was about fifty kilograms.
In May 2002, the Hangzhou police found about fifteen kilograms of slag when they raided a gold jewelry processing shop. After testing, it was found to be the missing item from the Little Qinling gold mine.
After the investigation, it was determined that one of the three suspects was Shi Wenqing. The identities of the other two suspects are still unknown. "
In Qu Sen's understanding, no matter what kind of metal slag it was, even if there was any residual value, it was not worth much. Could it be that gold ore could be refined several times?
So he asked curiously, "Can gold still be refined from the slag of the gold mine?"
The leader of the technical investigation team opened the detailed case file. He used the mouse to scroll down the page a little and then clicked on a thumbnail image. In the image was the so-called gold mine slag with a metallic luster.
After looking at the introduction, the leader of the technical investigation team said, "The stolen gold slag is not the waste ore after smelting. It refers to the precipitation of the gold liquid in the drainage channel after flowing out of the smelting furnace and into the grinding tool."
Gao Sheng also understood what the gold mine slag was after hearing the introduction. He could not help but mutter, "Isn't that the gold with impurities?"
"Yes, the gold content is very high, and it is very easy to purify." The leader of the technical investigation team nodded.
Qu Sen was silently calculating in his heart how much fifty kilograms of gold mine slag was worth. In the private room of the teahouse, Wu Entai and Lin Haizhen's negotiation was almost over.
Shi Wenqing, who had been quietly watching the negotiation from the side, saw that Lin Haizhen was about to leave. He suddenly said to Wu Entai, "Boss Wu, to be honest, it's a good thing that we don't have to see blood today. But … how should we account for our work this time? "
Wu Entai had not been trying to scare Lin Haizhen. Shi Wenqing's mission was indeed to pretend to rob and kill Lin Haizhen and Ah Qing.
Seeing that the two bosses had reached an agreement, Shi Wenqing and his two brothers did not have to kill anyone. He was a little worried that there would be changes to the previously agreed upon remuneration.
"The service will not change. The three brothers will receive the final payment after boarding the ship. But the reward money was not prepared beforehand. Someone will naturally give it to you when we arrive in Indonesia. "
"Okay, we trust Boss Wu's character." Shi Wenqing saluted again, but he did not ask the other two to leave immediately. Instead, he continued to stand to the side, looking coldly at Lin Haizhen.
It was obvious that these three were also people who would finish what they started. He was worried that if they left early, Wu Entai would be left with only one person and there would be another change in the situation.
"Captain, the special police bomb squad is already in place. What should we do with those three people?" The operation team leader asked Gao Sheng through the walkie-talkie.
Gao Sheng was just about to ask the command center for instructions on the next step of the operation when the instructions came first. The Big Brother's voice sounded from the loudspeaker. "Gao Sheng, send a team to follow them. Once we know where they are going out to sea, we will coordinate with the Coast Guard to arrest them. "
Big Brother's meaning was clear. Wu Entai's investigation was not over yet. If they made a move to arrest Shi Wenqing and the other two now, it would very likely alarm him. Therefore, once they were out to sea, the Coast Guard would "accidentally" block them. This would be more beneficial for the investigation later.
"Yes!" After Gao Sheng responded, he picked up the walkie-talkie. "Zhu Ye, take some people and follow Shi Wenqing. I will ask the drone team to assist you. Be careful not to alarm him."
"Yes!" After Zhu Ye received the order, Gao Sheng used the walkie-talkie to inform the second drone team to bring along the general reconnaissance drone to assist Zhu Ye's field team.
About five minutes later, Lin Haizhen supported Ah Qing, who was still in shock, with one hand and walked out of the private room with a normal expression. She went downstairs, left the teahouse, and drove away.
Shi Wenqing and the other two also left the teahouse. After hailing a taxi by the roadside, they quickly disappeared into the traffic.
Wu Entai was not in a hurry to leave. He poured himself a cup of tea and sat quietly with his legs crossed for a while. Then, he turned his head and shouted outside the private room, "Waiter, change the pot of tea."
After the waiter outside the door confirmed the quality of the tea, he picked up his phone and dialed a number.
A few seconds later, Xu Jian, who was sitting in the hall on the first floor, took out his phone. After glancing at the caller ID, he pressed the answer button.
Wu Entai's voice came from the receiver. "Ah Jian, come up for a moment."
"Yes!" Xu Jian answered and hung up. He got up and went to the second floor, entering Wu Entai's private room.
"Sit."
When Xu Jian entered the room, the waiter had just brought in new tea and removed the old tea. After Wu Entai gestured to the seat opposite him, he turned over a clean teacup, poured half a cup of tea, and sent it to Xu Jian.
"Boss, do you have any instructions?" Xu Jian sat down and did not touch the teacup. He asked a little cautiously.
"Haha, nothing much. We are just chatting." Wu Entai poured more tea for himself as he spoke.
Xu Jian still maintained his cautious sitting posture and did not speak again.
"Has my uncle contacted you recently?" Wu Entai took a sip of tea and asked casually.
"Mr. Wu has not contacted me since he came back to China," Xu Jian answered.
"What about Little Ya?" Wu Entai's tone was completely casual.
"Miss Ya has not contacted me either."
"They are very busy." Wu Entai seemed to be helping his uncle and sister to explain.
