"If we refuse to give him the QN2, do you think he might agree to our terms?" Huang Qiyang asked.

"Definitely not. From the very beginning, he made his stance clear: he doesn’t want to know our identities and doesn’t want to get too involved!" Zhou Xingbin replied.

"We just hope that those two tons have already entered Daxia."

"The chances of that are slim. Normally, even if they did ship the goods, they would do it little by little, not all at once in such a large quantity!"

"But according to the intelligence we’ve received, two tons have already entered Daxia. That’s why Little Han keeps tracking the Dolphin gang!"

"The intelligence might be fake! Perhaps we should consider agreeing to Luofeng’s proposal!"

"Have you lost your mind? You know the situation with QN2, don’t you?"

"Of course, I know. The power of that thing is just so-so; it can’t even blow open a bunker, let alone destroy planes or tanks. Its biggest use should be against the illegal helicopters in Siam!" Zhou Xingbin elaborated, "That thing is just an enhanced rocket launcher, really. Useful against small forces, of course. But against official powers? They have missiles, nuclear weapons—how can you even compare?"

"Indeed, given the environment in Siam, having something like QN2 would pose a significant threat to those forces!"

"I can’t make this decision alone, and it’s highly unlikely we’ll reach an agreement. Let’s go back and continue bargaining with him, see if there’s any room for negotiation!"

"Brother Huang, it’s no use. The other party won’t agree!"

"Let’s try!"

Following that, the two returned to the private room. While ordering dishes, they prepared to negotiate.

Soon, one Imperial Cuisine dish after another was served.

Han Feifei had arranged an incredible dish for Luofeng: Buddha’s Temptation. This dish needs no lengthy introduction; it’s featured in many novels and is made by combining various meats.

"As expected from the National Guesthouse, this Buddha’s Temptation is truly authentic!" Luofeng complimented.

Huang Qiyang, meanwhile, kept talking about the cooperation, rambling on. But Luofeng was focused solely on eating. From Buddha’s Temptation to Yuxiang Lobster and the famous Huang Qiao baked buns, all provided Luofeng with a remarkable culinary experience.

When Luofeng was about eighty percent full, he said, "Brother Huang, I apologize. You were saying a lot just now, but I didn’t hear a word! The cooking here is excellent; I was completely engrossed. So, to express my apology, I’ll add another condition: I can help you eradicate the Dolphin gang, root and branch. Tell me who you want to capture. As long as they’re in Manggu, they won’t escape! How about that?"

Faced with Luofeng’s proposal, the others were very excited.

"Really, Mr. Luo?"

"Of course," Luofeng nodded. "However, my conditions remain unchanged. I heard you lost fifty QN2 devices? Our company wants to help you find them!"

"What do you want those devices for?" Huang Qiyang asked directly.

"Two things. First, to increase our influence. Second, our operations in the Africa region are currently being restricted by America. With QN2, some problems can be easily resolved!" Luofeng stated.

"You have a presence in Africa too?" Huang Qiyang was surprised.

"Only a very small one; we’re just starting out," Luofeng said. "Gentlemen, I’ve shown my sincerity. Furthermore, I’ll give you a promise: in the future, for anything you need done in Siam, you can come to me for help!"

Huang Qiyang fell silent. "I need to use the bathroom!"

"Aren’t you going?" Luofeng looked towards Zhou Xingbin.

Zhou Xingbin remained silent.

Soon, Luofeng also made a phone call. On the other end was the primary shareholder of Tang Investment Company—Luofeng was the second. This was the reward channel set up by the System. But the other party was not a robot; he was a real person.

"Brother Tang, how are you!"

"Brother Luo Feng, it’s been a while since you last called me!"

"Brother, you’re wronging me. Didn’t I call you on New Year’s Day?"

"That was a week ago!"

"Come on, you’re not some great beauty that I should be calling every day, are you? Anyway, Brother, I need your help with something!"

"Oh? What is it, Brother? Tell me!"

"It’s about the Dolphin gang. They’re supposedly bringing in two tons of that ’stuff’. I hope you can help me investigate this. Also, keep all their senior leaders under surveillance. As for how to deal with them subsequently, I’m currently negotiating that!"

"Alright, no problem!" Brother Tang agreed immediately, without asking for reasons.

After hanging up, Luofeng contacted his ZhongYiTang Security Company again. "Target the Dolphin gang: all senior leaders and important mid-level managers. Keep them all under surveillance for me. And check their shipment records, especially those sent to Daxia." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"Understood!"

"Good," Luofeng said, then hung up.

"Are you so confident that we will agree?" Han Feifei, observing Luofeng’s demeanor, asked curiously.

"If we cooperate, you can enjoy Siamese delicacies and the sea breeze while a major case gets solved. The credit and honor will all be yours, and you won’t have to deploy a single soldier or spend any resources. Who wouldn’t like such a good deal?" Luofeng said with a smile. "If our cooperation fails, it’s very likely that two tons of that ’stuff’ will enter Daxia! Cooperation is the only way for us to achieve a win-win situation!" Luofeng added.

About fifteen minutes later, Huang Qiyang finally returned. "Mr. Luo, we can agree, but we have conditions!"

"What conditions?"

"If we discover that you’ve used QN2 to do anything detrimental... you understand, we will take comprehensive action against you!"

"No problem with that!"

"How long will you need?" Huang Qiyang asked.

"Three days. I can resolve all issues before I leave the Capital City three days from now," Luofeng replied.

"Are you sure?"

"I am certain," Luofeng said. "Ask Han Feifei. While you two were out, I already instructed my forces to act! You compile a list. If there are no surprises, in three days, they will be ’vacationing’ on Hongkang Island!"

Both men fell silent.

Han Feifei also looked at Luofeng in shock. Is this the young man I met in Siam? He’s so formidable!

"Little Han, send the list we need to Mr. Luo and have him help with the search!" Huang Qiyang instructed.

Han Feifei quickly took out a picture from her bag, with names attached.

After reviewing the list, Luofeng said, "That’s quite a few people. Does it matter if they’re dead or alive?"

"Try to keep them alive!" Huang Qiyang stated.

"Understood!" Luofeng said, then sent the list out.

"Boss, received!"

Luofeng ordered, "Send the information to Brother Tang. I want results today. Then, transport these ’packages’ to Hongkang Island and contact me. I’ll arrange for someone to receive them."

’Vacationing’ over there? Or had Luofeng actually captured them? So, Luofeng’s implication was that the people would be there, and they just needed to be picked up. He dared to say this even before making a move. Truly impressive.

"Who will you arrange to go over and receive them?" Luofeng asked.

"Isn’t this a bit hasty? Shouldn’t we wait..."

Luofeng said confidently, "No need to wait! Make your arrangements early!"

"How many people can we send over?" Huang Qiyang asked.

"That’s your business. If you need delivery services, you can also ask me. No problem, right?" Luofeng said.

"Alright, then arranging for a dozen or so people to go should be enough!" Huang Qiyang replied.

Luofeng soon informed the people at Zhongyi Tang Company that his side would arrange for ten people to go. Confidential matters were to be kept confidential. The main thing was to lead them to the two tons of goods and then deliver those individuals to the coastline.

"My side of things can be mostly settled soon," Luofeng said. "I hope that when I deliver the two tons of ’stuff’ and ’them’, you will also give me what I want!"

"Of course, Mr. Luo. We’ll prepare the relevant materials. Let’s exchange contact information. You can get in touch with us once you’ve resolved everything!"

Luofeng smiled. "Just have Han Feifei give me your numbers. You surely have my contact information, right?"

"Cough, cough. Indeed, we investigated Mr. Luo previously. After all, the capabilities Mr. Luo demonstrated in the past were too formidable!" Huang Qiyang coughed.

"When I first met Han Feifei, was she investigating the Dolphin gang then?" Luofeng said, then laughed. "So, after all this time, you still haven’t closed the net?"

"..."

The group was speechless.

"Hahaha, just kidding. I know you are legitimate authorities, bound by too many formalities and rules. It’s not easy to get things done. We’re different. As long as we can achieve our objective, any means are acceptable!" Luofeng said with a laugh.
