Han Feifei frowned and said, "If you really have a way, I can help you get connected so you can negotiate the terms yourself."

"No problem. Shall we talk where we had bittern flapjack last time?" Luofeng asked.

As soon as Han Feifei heard this, she guessed that Luofeng might know about what happened last time. "Let’s change the location!"

"You choose?" Luofeng said with a smile. "There won’t be any thugs this time, will there?"

Han Feifei shot Luofeng a glare and didn’t answer the question. "Wait a moment, I’ll make some calls!"

About five minutes later, Han Feifei, having made the arrangements, said, "Let’s go. Lunch is on us! The National Guesthouse!"

"The National Guesthouse? Sounds good! I’ve never been there before!"

「Half an hour later.」

Han Feifei and Luofeng arrived at the National Guesthouse.

Guided by a staff member, the two of them entered a small private room.

There were two middle-aged-looking men in the room. Han Feifei began, "Luofeng, let me introduce you to..." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Luofeng interrupted Liu Hanyan directly, "You don’t have to tell them who I am. Just give them a name—of course, a fake one is fine too!"

The middle-aged-looking man on the left chuckled. "Young man, you’re quite interesting!"

Luofeng joked, "As TV dramas say, the more you know, the faster you die. I don’t want to die; let’s just enjoy the meal and brag a little here! I hope the National Guesthouse won’t disappoint me!"

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Huang Qiyang, and that’s my real name!" the middle-aged-looking man on the left said.

"This is my partner, Zhou Xingbin. He’s a man of few words, so don’t mind him," Huang Qiyang continued.

"I suppose I don’t need to introduce myself, right? You’ve all investigated me already."

Huang Qiyang didn’t respond directly but asked, "Young man, do you have a solution for the Dolphin Cocain Gang this time?"

"How do you want to solve it?" Luofeng asked.

"Do you have a plan?" Huang Qiyang questioned.

"The simplest way, of course, is for me to provide intelligence, and you handle the rest!" Luofeng said. "You’ve researched me, so naturally, you know my situation in Siam. I should be able to obtain information on the Dolphin Gang!"

"And the not-so-simple way?" Huang Qiyang asked.

"The not-so-simple way is..."

Luofeng chuckled.

After all, besides these, were there other hidden benefits? Gaining their friendship? As for friendship, Luofeng certainly desired valuable friendship. Because useful friendship and useless friendship are two different things.

"As for the not-so-simple way, let me first talk about the situation in Siam. Right now, there’s an undercurrent of turmoil, and my security company over there is in a rather precarious state. If I could get some help, my company could assist you in this operation! After all, the cocain business involves a lot of conflict. Even if I provide you with information, with a whole two tons, right? The Dolphin Gang will surely be heavily guarded. If it’s stashed in Siam, you probably can’t handle it on your own, can you?"

So? Was Luofeng trying to prove himself? To reduce the pressure on his comrades?

Of course, even official tasks in foreign countries are not that straightforward to handle. They would still need Luofeng’s significant efforts.

"Of course, during the operation, my Loyalty and Righteousness Security Company might be short on manpower, so we’ll need to recruit some additional personnel!"

Seeing Luofeng put it this way, Huang Qiyang instantly understood Luofeng’s meaning. If the National Security Investigation Bureau didn’t trust Luofeng’s security company—for instance, what if Loyalty and Righteousness Security Company engaged in a double-cross, taking the government’s aid and then seizing the Dolphin Gang’s cocain for themselves? Therefore, Luofeng was suggesting this as a way for National Security to place a few of their own people within the security company.

"By the way, if we do seize the cocain..." Luofeng said, "No matter how much we seize, we’ll hand it all over to you intact. We can also help you transport it back for disposal or for you to use as propaganda for your victory. After all, if it’s not seized on our own turf, we’ll need some connections to move it."

"What help does your security company need?"

Luofeng said, "If their cocain hasn’t been transported to Daxia yet, and I help you resolve this issue, I hope you will invite me to investigate something. I heard that a certain place recently lost some QN2 devices, apparently as many as fifty units. I’d like to help you investigate this."

Again, Huang Qiyang understood Luofeng’s implication. QN2 devices were currently the most advanced man-portable missile systems. They had incredible portability; each could carry six missiles, capable of striking targets up to 2 kilometers away, and could even lock on automatically.

"Impossible!" Huang Qiyang flatly refused. Luofeng’s words were a hint: he wanted to obtain fifty units of QN2.

Luofeng smiled. "Could it be that you’ve already investigated and found there are fewer than fifty units?"

Luofeng was bargaining.

"Your information is incorrect; we haven’t lost any QN2 devices," Huang Qiyang stated.

"That’s a pity," Luofeng said, clearly expressing his intention to terminate the cooperation. "The service here at the National Guesthouse is a bit slow!"

"I’ll go hurry them along!" Huang Qiyang stood up and left the private room.

"I need to use the bathroom!" Zhou Xingbin also quietly stood up.

Luofeng paid no attention to either of them. They were merely going to another place to discuss things. After all, the conditions Luofeng had proposed required their private deliberation.

"Luofeng, they are..." Han Feifei lowered her voice.

But Luofeng interrupted her, "I just said, I don’t want to know their identities. We’re just here to eat today."

If they reached an agreement, then everyone would be happy. If not, today’s meeting would be treated as if it never happened; Luofeng didn’t want to know too much.

"Two tons of cocain, aren’t you tempted?" Han Feifei asked curiously.

"One billion?"

"Around that," Han Feifei said.

"Heh, a mere one billion, and you think I’d be tempted?" Luofeng chuckled disdainfully. "Alright, if you don’t understand, then just focus on your food later. Take advantage of being single and eat more vegetables."

"How do you know I’m single?" Han Feifei was somewhat dissatisfied.

But how did Luofeng know? Was it because she scored a perfect 100 for purity? Plus, with Han Feifei’s job, could an ordinary person handle it? Anyway, Luofeng felt he couldn’t. Unless she wore a uniform... COUGH, COUGH, COUGH. He shouldn’t have such thoughts, Luofeng apologized internally. But who didn’t have such a complex? Of course, Luofeng also knew Han Feifei must be aware of Duanmu Yunji, Little Fairy, and the others; after all, hadn’t they investigated him? With such a person as a girlfriend, could he expect any privacy? But it seemed, since she already knew about his affairs and still agreed to be his girlfriend... could it mean he could soar with a pair of wings?

「...」

「In another private room.」

"What do you make of this man?" Huang Qiyang asked Zhou Xingbin.

"Very confident, extremely confident!" Zhou Xingbin replied.

"The reason?"

"It must be the power he wields. From Wu Yufan’s case, we can deduce that Loyalty and Righteousness Security Company is no mere trifle!" Zhou Xingbin continued, "Recent intelligence from Siam has confirmed this too. The alliance formed by Loyalty and Righteousness Security Company and Tang Investment Company has almost taken control of seventy percent of the operations in the Guman area. And it’s not that they are incapable of controlling Guman, but that they are intentionally concealing their true capabilities!"

Zhou Xingbin’s expression was animated as he said, "Such a concealed blade is indeed terrifying; no one knows when it will suddenly strike! But Loyalty and Righteousness Security Company is not the source of his confidence. This man is brimming with confidence. From his proposals just now, it’s evident that he states exactly what he wants, even suggesting options that are utterly impossible!"

Man-portable missiles? Such outlandish things? Handed over to Loyalty and Righteousness Security Company? For them to dominate the underworld there?

"I cannot determine what his trump card is, but I know that besides Loyalty and Righteousness Security Company, besides those three companies in Capital City—Fengshun Investment Company, as well as Jiamei Construction Company—he might have other trump cards."

And Luofeng’s trump card... it was probably the System, right?
