Road returned with just his weapons packed away. These things should not have been here in the first place."I understand! Let's get Mr. Zhou out first. He was frightened, so his face isn't looking too...I have no objection, go ahead and do it.

Zeng Hongliang nodded and said.

"Boss, trust me, I won't disappoint you. But this time to get all their bigwigs here, I need you to make an appearance as well."

Ripples put forward her own demands.

This made Zeng Hongliang purse his lips, then he gave a dry laugh and said:

"Are you preparing me to be bait"

"I wouldn't dare, you're my boss and I would certainly prioritize your safety. However, if we want to achieve our goals, sacrifices will have to be made."

Ripples raised an eyebrow.

As a boss, how can you not take on some risk There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Zeng Hongliang understood the meaning of ripples. He also knew that if he didn't show himself, those bigwigs definitely wouldn't show up.

There has to be a reasonable excuse, right Otherwise, those old foxes wouldn't show up.

Zeng Hongliang picked up the cigar from beside the ashtray, took a puff, and said.

"Of course, I happened to be in Europe, so I invited them over to discuss getting a batch of goods from Europe together. Since our family couldn't handle it all, we brought them along. And if this deal goes through, we can establish a channel for importing into Europe. I believe they would be interested."

Ripple had prepared himself, and spoke in a soft voice.

These people won't say anything unless they have evidence, they can't just talk out of thin air!

"This is the second thing I'm prepared to tell my boss, I did manage to get a hold of some weapons in Europe."

Upon hearing this, Zeng Hongliang, who had been leaning back in his chair, immediately leaned forward and asked:

"Really How did you get it When will it arrive"

Faced with Zeng Hongliang's three-question barrage, Lianyi spoke calmly:

"In the past, I was just looking for sources, trying to find another way out for the group. But because I was a new face and also Asian, I couldn't get in touch with major arms dealers right away, so I changed my strategy and found an international security company to recommend me bodyguards."

Through a security company, I established contact with the 'Cleaners' mercenary group. The four people who returned with me were high-paid recruits of mine responsible for protecting me in Europe and finding sources and channels for goods.

But the boss also knows this isn't an easy task. In the end, he still helped me get in touch with a batch of weapons through his connections. It was a batch of weapons seized by France when they dismantled a black gang.

They marked these weapons with unique identifiers and quietly reintroduced them into the European market. Using these specialized weapons, they busted several arms trafficking cases, apprehended numerous arms suppliers, and brought them to justice.

European arms dealers aren't stupid. After this batch of special weapons flowed back into the market, they were stockpiled and prepared to be sold further afield. This way, they wouldn't lose money nor attract unwanted attention from the police.

I got in touch with the seller through the "Cleaner" mercenary group, preparing to acquire this batch of weapons. I made it clear that I would sell the weapons to Southeast Asia, as long as they weren't within Europe, and they were willing to do business with me.

"But at that time, my boss asked me to return to China immediately. I had no choice but to let the 'Cleaner' vouch for me, paying a 10% deposit, which was all my belongings. After confirming with the seller, I hurriedly returned to China."

Zeng Hongliang's eyes were incredibly bright. After listening to Lian Yi's words, he stood up and walked back and forth in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the study before finally speaking:

"If this batch of special goods entered Southeast Asia, wouldn't it also alert the police here After all, they also have international cooperation."

"Rest assured, boss. They know what they're doing. As long as that shipment is circulating in Europe, it can be traced even if the markings are removed. That's why they gave up and are preparing to use a different channel. My arrival has given them a pillow while they're sleeping."

"If that's the case, then it's definitely worth the risk. I'll personally contact them, but I hope to have something physical for them to see."

Zeng Hongliang said very cautiously.

"Boss, I'm unable to pay the final installment."

Liàn Yī spread her hands in a gesture of helplessness.

I've assigned Eileen to handle the payment. You give her your account details, and then finalize the fastest shipping time with her.

"Ok."

Li ripples nodded and said to Eileen:

"Please ask the lion to come in. He's responsible for contacting the suppliers on that side."

Eileen nodded. She didn't know who the lion was, but after going out she said to the four people standing there looking very aimless:

"Sister Yun asked Mr. Lion to come in."

The lion glanced at the other person and then stepped forward, entering the office with her.

After explaining the situation, the lion directly used Zeng Hongliang's personal computer in the study to contact the other party. In a few words, he explained the situation and allowed the big bosses on both ends of the network to meet and finalize the next steps.

Liàn Yī then retired from her work, bringing the lion with her out of the study and straight to the restaurant on the first floor.

"Everyone, thanks for following me all this way, you've worked hard! Please have some food first. I'll take you back to the residence after my boss finishes talking."

"Good!"

Four people weren't polite, they faced a table of good dishes that were ready and ate heartily. In half an hour, their stomachs were full, and then they each found a place to sit down without communicating.

Gong Fan stood directly behind Lian Yi, the lion stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, its body hidden behind the wide curtains, Ma Lu sat on the armrest of a sofa on the other side, while Xuan Si sat on a single armchair, with her legs crossed, using a file to rub her nails.

Just as Lian Yi was drifting off to sleep, Zeng Hongliang walked down with a flushed face and said to her:

"Things are settled. Yunyi, you did a great job this time! I'll have Eilin transfer the deposit you paid to your account, plus your reward!"

"Go and rest first. I'll let you know when I have a specific delivery time. You still need to pick it up, I don't trust anyone else to do it."

"Okay, boss!"

Ripples got up and, with the four of them, directly left Zeng Hongliang's den.

Zeng Hongliang stood by the window, watching the ripples take people away. Only then did his face change.

"Boss, Yun Yi is really capable!"

Eileen's praise was very insincere.

She has always been bold and would take matters into her own hands. Now she is under my command, partly because she lacks the capital and partly because she hasn't the ability to set up her own business. However, if this plan succeeds, she might have both capital and the skills to go independent.

Zeng Hongliang said faintly.

"Boss, we should prepare early!"

Yilin's eyes flashed, and she immediately whispered.

"I know what I'm doing."

Zeng Hongliang returned to his study alone, took out a very old and worn cell phone from the safe, and dialed a number. After half a minute, the call was answered.

"What's up"

"The time is ripe, I'm ready to absorb a few other competitors, and I need your cooperation."

"The person is already beside you, how can you just watch and do nothing yourself I only care about the results."

"Yes, I understand."

As soon as Zeng Hongliang finished speaking, the other end of the phone hung up.

Zeng Hongliang took out the SIM card and snapped it in half. Then he crushed it several times with the ember of his cigar, completely destroying the card..Ripple raised an eyebrow after hearing this. She hadn't done anything yet, but Yunsiyu had already put herself in such a state. She took a sip of tea to moisten her throat and then said:"Is she awake...
