"Come in." The man's voice was low and cold.

Chu Liang smiled and patted Qin Yuan on the shoulder: "Brother Qin, this is Raymond, our old friend."

Qin Yuan nodded slightly and looked at Raymond without a trace. His muscle lines were obvious, and there was a faint calluse on his hands. He was obviously a veteran who had been dealing with weapons all year round.

Raymond didn't say much, but just moved away and signaled the two to enter. Qin Yuan followed Chu Liang into the warehouse, and the scene inside shocked him-

A whole row of shelves were filled with different types of guns, ammunition, and even several small portable rocket launchers. The air was filled with the smell of engine oil and metal, and the entire warehouse was like a small arsenal, enough to arm an elite small force.

Raymond walked to the shelves, picked up a black rifle, gently stroked the gun body, and his voice was calm: "Chu Liang, are you sure he can participate in our transaction?"

Chu Liang smiled and looked back at Qin Yuan: "It depends on Brother Qin's performance."

Qin Yuan walked forward, reached out to take the rifle from Raymond's hand, skillfully checked the structure of the gun body, then gently pulled the trigger, feeling the feel of the gun. His movements were smooth and natural, without a trace of awkwardness, as if he had long been used to dealing with this weapon.

Raymond raised his eyebrows, as if he was a little surprised by Qin Yuan's performance: "It seems you are not an amateur."

Qin Yuan smiled faintly: "If I were an amateur, Chu Liang wouldn't have brought me here."

Raymond stared at Qin Yuan for a few seconds, then snorted lightly, put the gun back on the shelf, and his tone was still scrutinized: "Chu Liang said you have funds and channels, and our goods need to find a new market, and what can you provide?"

Qin Yuan replied without hesitation: "I have funds and a network of relationships. More importantly, I can ensure the safety of goods circulation."

Raymond sneered: "Safety? You know that our business is the least lacking in risk."

Qin Yuan's eyes were calm: "But what you lack was a more advanced operation method, avoiding all monitoring and interference, so that this chain could operate smoother, and I am the one you need."

Raymond did not respond immediately, but turned to look at Chu Liang, as if waiting for his confirmation. Chu Liang nodded gently: "He is trustworthy."

Raymond pondered for a moment, finally smiled slightly, and reached out: "Very good, welcome to join."

The next day, the sky was gloomy and there was a considerable wind blowing on the sea. Qin Yuan drove the car and slowly drove to the eastern suburbs pier with Yue Ming and Duan Jinglin. The atmosphere in the car was silent. Yue Ming adjusted his wireless headphones in the passenger seat, while Duan Jinglin sat in the back seat, checking the equipment he carried with him, and his eyes looked through the windows to look at the environment along the way.

"Today's transaction is the key to our entry into Chu Liang's core circle." Qin Yuan held the steering wheel steadily with both hands, his voice calmly, "But this is also the most dangerous step. Chu Liang's partner Raymond does not fully trust us. We must observe today's transactions throughout and don't do extra moves."

Yue Ming whispered: "I understand, today we will focus on your instructions. If there is an emergency, we will evacuate immediately."

When the car drove into the dock area, you could see the containers arranged neatly and the cranes were working slowly. Several workers were busy. However, in a corner further away, several black SUVs were parked secretly, which was obviously not a normal logistics fleet.

Qin Yuan parked the car, and after the three of them got out, Chu Liang was already standing in the distance waiting for them. Raymond beside him was wearing sunglasses, and behind him were several burly bodyguards, with traces of weapons faintly visible from each of them's waists.

"Brother Qin, today you have to let you know how we do business." Chu Liang smiled and came up and patted Qin Yuan on the shoulder, "This transaction is not big, but it is enough for you to understand our entire operating model."

Qin Yuan smiled slightly: "Of course, before cooperation, understanding is necessary."

Raymond did not exchange much greetings and directly signaled his subordinates to open the doors of several containers. As the door slowly opened, neat weapon boxes were exposed inside, and each box had a specific code, which was obviously ready for transportation.

"This batch of goods came from Southeast Asia," Raymond said lightly, "Walking on the sea route, it is highly concealed, and the target is in South America. The consignee has confirmed that today's mission is to ensure that these goods are safely boarding the ship."

Qin Yuan nodded slightly, his expression did not change, but he secretly wrote down every detail in his heart. This is a typical arms smuggling route. Chu Liang's team is obviously experienced and the entire process is extremely smooth.

Just as they confirmed that the goods were counted correctly, a rapid engine roar suddenly sounded from afar. Several white customs inspection vehicles slowly drove into the dock. The leading car was hung with the customs law enforcement signs. Several law enforcement officers in uniforms quickly got off the car and walked into the dock.

Raymond's face changed slightly, and he immediately signaled his subordinates to close the container door, and the atmosphere at the entire dock became tense instantly.

Chu Liang was still calm, turned his head to look at Qin Yuan, and said in a low tone: "This time it has nothing to do with us, it's a problem with another batch of goods at the wharf. Don't panic."

Qin Yuan nodded, but his eyes quietly swept to the law enforcement officers in the distance. They obviously received the news and then suddenly started an inspection, but their attention was still focused on the goods in another area.

Yue Ming whispered, "Are we going to withdraw?"

Qin Yuan did not respond immediately, but looked at Chu Liang. Chu Liang raised his hand and signaled him to calm down, then quickly met the customs law enforcement officers.

"Dear officials, what's going on?" Chu Liang had a professional smile on his face and his tone was calm.

A customs official who led the team looked at him coldly and said in a bad tone: "We have received anonymous reports that someone here is trying to smuggle prohibited items through the dock. Please cooperate with the inspection."

Chu Liang smiled: "Of course, the pier is open and we are willing to cooperate. But we are just carrying out normal cargo transfers and do not involve any illegal activities."

The law enforcement officers did not respond immediately, but began to inspect everywhere. Several staff members even approached Chu Liang's container area, as if they wanted to check the goods.

Qin Yuan stood not far away, his eyes always watching the development of the situation. Raymond's face had become gloomy, and several bodyguards subconsciously extended their hands to their waists, obviously having made the worst plans.

Just as the situation became more tense, one of the law enforcement officers suddenly turned their attention to Qin Yuan and then walked over.

"Sir, which company do you belong to?" The law enforcement officer stared at Qin Yuan with a vigilant look in his eyes.

Qin Yuan was slightly stunned, then a natural smile appeared on his face: "I am Mr. Chu's business partner, and today I am just here to visit the operating procedures of the dock."

The law enforcement officers obviously did not trust his words, and looked at Qin Yuan and Yue Ming behind him, Duan Jinglin glanced around, and then said coldly: "Please show your identity certificate."

Qin Yuan did not panic, but took out a forged business card from his pocket with his fake identity printed on it - the manager of an international trading company.

The law enforcement officer took the business card, glanced at it, and frowned slightly: "International Trade? What business does your company have?"

Qin Yuan smiled slightly and said calmly: "It mainly involves equipment export and material transportation in overseas markets. I came here today to evaluate the shipping route."

The law enforcement officer looked at him, remained silent for a moment, and then whispered a few words to his colleagues behind him. A few minutes later, a report came from the intercom: "Sir, the target cargo has been checked, and no suspicious items were found."

The law enforcement captain frowned and finally nodded, "Okay, we will evacuate temporarily, but we will continue to investigate. If there is any suspicious situation, we will come again."

After saying that, he returned Qin Yuan's business card to him and then led the team to leave the dock area.

Seeing the law enforcement vehicle leaving, Raymond snorted coldly and whispered: "Please finally leave."

Chu Liang turned around and patted Qin Yuan on the shoulder with a smile: "Brother Qin, it seems that your identity is still a bit attractive."

Qin Yuan smiled softly and said casually: "Before cooperation, you have to let the other party understand some basic situations. The situation just now really made people feel a little nervous."

Raymond stared at Qin Yuan with a deep meaning in his eyes: "I hope you are really just visiting the business, not other purposes."

Qin Yuan smiled slightly, did not answer positively, but said calmly: "Since the trouble has passed, can we continue to trade?"

Chu Liang laughed and nodded: "Of course, the transaction continues."

After the transaction was over, the air on the dock finally resumed its flow. Qin Yuan stood aside and watched the last batch of goods being loaded onto the cargo ship. Chu Liang smiled and patted his shoulder, with a relaxed tone: "Brother Qin, don't take things to heart today. That guy Raymond is born suspicious, not targeting you, he treats all new faces the same."

Qin Yuan smiled slightly and shook his head: "I can understand. After all, it is necessary to be cautious when it comes to such a big business."

Chu Liang laughed and said with a cheerful tone: "That's the reason. You, don't always act like you are doing business. Let's find a place to relax tonight, have a meal, and have two drinks, how about it?"

Qin Yuan quickly weighed in his heart that Chu Liang's invitation was not just a simple dinner, but a sign of wining and trust. Rejection would seem deliberate, while acceptance would allow him to further integrate into this circle. He smiled slightly and nodded, "Okay, today is indeed a day worth celebrating."

A trace of satisfaction flashed in Chu Liang's eyes, and then he took out his cell phone and called: "Old place, arrange a private room, and call a few friends to come over, so relax tonight."

Half an hour later, several cars drove away from the dock and headed to a secret private club in the city center. This club is located at the end of a quiet street. It looks low-key, but the door is full of luxury cars. It is obvious that the guests here are either rich or noble. When the waiter at the door saw Chu Liang, he immediately respectfully opened the door and led them into the interior.

The interior of the club is extremely luxurious, with dim lights reflecting the exquisite decoration, and the air is filled with a faint cigar and wine fragrance. Qin Yuan entered the private room with Chu Liang and Leimon, and Yue Ming and Duan Jinglin found a place to sit in the outside hall according to the plan, maintaining a certain observation range.

In the private room, Chu Liang ordered a few high-end dishes and ordered the waiter to send a bottle of top-quality whiskey. He poured a glass of wine and handed it to Qin Yuan, and said with a smile: "Today's transaction is very smooth, and it is also the official start of our cooperation. Brother Qin, I will give you a cup."

Qin Yuan picked up the wine glass, touched Chu Liang gently, and drank it all in one gulp. He glanced at Raymond calmly, but the vigilance in his eyes had obviously eased a lot.

Seeing this, Chu Liang smiled slightly: "Raymond, Brother Qin is a cheerful person. You should almost accept your rules that doubt people, right?"

Raymond snorted coldly, put down his wine glass, stared at Qin Yuan and said, "The mall is like a battlefield, it's okay to be careful. You are doing well, but my habits will not change."

Qin Yuan smiled, picked up the wine glass and toasted Raymond again: "Mr. Lei, I understand your prudence. After all, this is a big business and there is no tolerance for any mistakes. However, cooperation is based on trust. Over time, you will naturally understand my value."

Raymond stared at him for a few seconds, finally picked up the wine glass and whispered: "I hope so."

The atmosphere gradually eased, Chu Liang's topic changed and he began to talk about some relaxed topics, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious. The dishes were all over the ground, and the wine was drunk one by one, and the whole room was filled with laughter, as if the previous tension had completely disappeared.

After a few rounds of wine, Chu Liang leaned slightly on the back of the chair, his eyes fell on Qin Yuan, and his tone had a deep meaning: "Brother Qin, I heard that you have done business overseas before?"

Qin Yuan paused slightly and nodded: "There are some channels, mainly in Southeast Asia."

Chu Liang nodded, and a look of inquiry flashed in his eyes: "Then you should be familiar with smuggling?"

Qin Yuan chuckled and said indifferently: "Business, as long as there is demand, the market will exist. A legal market is good, but in some markets, the rules are determined by strength."

Upon hearing this, Chu Liang laughed and patted Qin Yuan on the shoulder: "Well said it! The market is the prey of the weak. Whoever masters the rules can win."

Raymond raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Qin Yuan's gaze with a hint of recognition, but he still maintained a certain distance. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and said lightly: "Since you know so well about these markets, the next few transactions may allow you to participate more deeply."

A sharp flashed in Qin Yuan's eyes, and he smiled and nodded: "That's the point."

As soon as this sentence was spoken, Chu Liang smiled with satisfaction, and raised his wine glass: "Brother Qin, welcome to officially join our circle!"
