Chapter 1759 It's been a long time
Qin Yuan stood there, not looking nervous on the surface, and looked calmly at everyone around him. He knew that his identity was not completely true, and some information in these information might have been tampered with. Tonight's identity verification is not only a verification of his personal background, but also a test of whether he can continue to survive in this circle.
After a while, the investigators stopped operating, and the tall man whispered to Chu Liang: "The information is normal. After verification, there is no problem with his background."
Chu Liang smiled and walked towards Qin Yuan: "It seems that today is a good day."
Qin Yuan felt relieved, but he did not show any emotions on the surface. He knew that this was just passing the first level, and the next one was the real challenge.
However, just as he was about to continue talking to Chu Liang, several heavy footsteps suddenly came from outside the warehouse. Qin Yuan's alertness was suddenly aroused. He turned his head slightly and looked at the darkness outside.
Chu Liang obviously noticed the abnormality, and the smile on his face suddenly calmed down, "It's a little wrong," he said, "It may be a little trouble later."
"Trouble?" Qin Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "What trouble?"
Chu Liang whispered: "It's people from the government. It seems that they are eyeing this deal."
As soon as he finished speaking, a noise suddenly came from the door of the warehouse. Several people in plain clothes rushed in quickly. One of the men with police badges walked in front, with a serious look and a calm voice: "This is the customs law enforcement department. We have received reports that we suspect that illegal transactions are involved."
Qin Yuan's heart moved, his eyes quickly swept through the situation around him, and the enemy's appearance was obviously not expected. He knew that if the transaction tonight was exposed, Chu Liang's entire network would suffer a huge blow. Now, the problem is no longer identity verification, but how to deal with this sudden inspection.
"You have found the wrong place," Chu Liang said coldly, "We are a legal business transaction and we have no illegal acts."
The law enforcement officer sneered: "Don't think we don't know what you're doing. Everyone stops and get checked!"
As the order was issued, the law enforcement officers immediately began to search the warehouse. The situation suddenly became tense, and a cold light flashed in Qin Yuan's eyes. He knew that now was not the time to be impulsive, and he had to deal with it calmly.
He whispered to Yue Ming and Duan Jinglin: "Keep calm and act according to the scheduled plan."
The two immediately understood and began to keep a low profile and observe the movements around them. Qin Yuan stood quietly aside, and began to quickly think about what to do next.
The law enforcement officers gradually approached the depths of the warehouse, and Chu Liang obviously realized the seriousness of the situation. His eyes flashed, he adjusted his position quietly, and whispered to Qin Yuan: "Be careful, the situation is complicated. It's not the only one I can control here."
Qin Yuan took a deep breath and kept his eyes calm: "I know what to do, and you will give me instructions later."
The atmosphere in the warehouse was stagnant, and the footsteps of the customs law enforcement officers were particularly clear in the quiet space. Everyone's eyes were on Chu Liang and the law enforcement officer who led the team, and there was a nervous atmosphere in the air.
Qin Yuan stood behind Chu Liang's side, with his expression still calm. Yu Guang swept across the layout of the entire warehouse. Most of the goods stored here were disguised as legal goods, but he knew that once the other party thoroughly investigated the truth, the real transaction traces would be discovered sooner or later. Now, the key to the problem lies in how Chu Liang will deal with it, and how he himself should ensure that he is not exposed and control the situation.
Chu Liang's expression remained unchanged, and he slowly stepped forward, with a smile on his lips: "Several people, since it is customs enforcement, we have to give an explanation, right? Why do you suspect that we have illegal transactions here?"
The law enforcement official looked at Chu Liang coldly, with an unquestionable edge in his eyes: "We have received anonymous reports, and some people revealed that you have hidden undeclared goods here. According to customs regulations, we have the right to conduct surprise inspections."
"Anonymous report?" Chu Liang seemed to think this statement was ridiculous. He shook his head gently, then stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture, "Since it is law enforcement, we will of course cooperate. But if nothing can be found in the end, should you give us an explanation?"
The law enforcement officials did not respond, but nodded to the subordinates behind them and signaled them to start the action. Several customs officers quickly dispersed and began to inspect the goods in the warehouse.
Qin Yuan's eyes sank slightly. He knew that Chu Liang's words were deliberately delaying time and giving them enough time to respond. However, this also means that the law enforcement officers will not give up easily. Once any suspicious points are found, the situation will be completely out of control.
"Brother Qin." Chu Liang suddenly turned his head and looked at Qin Yuan, with a hint of searching in his eyes, "Since you are here, why not accompany me to see what they want to find out?"
Qin Yuan chuckled, walked forward slowly, and stood side by side with Chu Liang: "Of course, I also want to see if there is something wrong with your goods."
Chu Liang paused slightly, a meaningful light flashed in his eyes, and then he laughed: "Brother Qin is really happy." He said, turning to the law enforcement officer, "Since you want to investigate, then check carefully and don't accidentally hurt our hard-working legitimate business."
The law enforcement officer snorted coldly, obviously dissatisfied with Chu Liang's attitude, but he still signaled his subordinates to speed up the inspection. Several customs officers opened some boxes and checked the goods inside. They found that they were indeed normal mechanical parts and industrial equipment, and there seemed to be no problems.
However, when they opened one of the containers close to the depths of the warehouse, the situation suddenly changed.
"Sir, there is something wrong here!" a law enforcement officer suddenly shouted.
The atmosphere in the warehouse froze instantly, and everyone's eyes looked at the law enforcement officer. He was standing next to an open container, and the goods inside were covered with films, but it was obvious that some of the items were not ordinary industrial equipment, but some undeclared electronic parts - and these parts were the core components of some high-end military equipment.
Chu Liang's face changed slightly, but soon returned to calm. He walked forward slowly, and his tone was still calm: "These goods are specially customized equipment and are part of legal trade. Have you made something wrong?"
The law enforcement officer smiled coldly, waved his hand to signal his subordinates to continue checking, and then turned to look at Chu Liang: "We will judge whether it is a legal trade. Mr. Chu, if the import procedures for these goods are not complete, then you may have to give us an explanation."
Chu Liang smiled and said, "Explanation? Of course, it's OK. But if you rashly seize these goods and cause losses to our customers, the consequences will be hard to say."
Qin Yuan stood aside, observing Chu Liang's reaction calmly. He knew that Chu Liang would never give up easily, but he also knew that since the law enforcement department dared to come, he must have obtained some evidence. The question now is how Chu Liang planned to get out.
At this moment, footsteps came from outside the warehouse door. Several men in plain clothes walked in. One of them walked directly to the law enforcement officer and whispered a few words. After hearing this, the law enforcement officer frowned slightly, and then looked at Chu Liang coldly: "Mr. Chu, it seems that you are lucky. The superior asked us to suspend the action, but we still need to seal your goods and make a decision after further investigation results come out."
When Chu Liang heard this, he smiled slightly, and a coldness flashed in his eyes: "Then please. But I hope that your investigation will not be delayed for too long, and our customers will not wait."
The law enforcement officer did not speak anymore, turned around and quickly left with his subordinates. The tension in the warehouse was slightly relieved.
After the law enforcement officers completely left, Chu Liang's face finally calmed down. His eyes swept over the people in the warehouse in a drifting manner, and finally landed on Qin Yuan, with a low voice: "Brother Qin, it seems that there are rats here."
Qin Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "What do you doubt?"
Chu Liang sneered, turned around and walked to a table in the warehouse, lit a cigarette, and said slowly: "I suspect that someone has disclosed the news to the customs, otherwise they would not have checked so accurately. You have also seen that the goods they checked before were fine, but the last container - that was the goods that arrived last night, and we didn't even have time to completely count them ourselves."
Qin Yuan's eyes flashed and he thought in his heart. This matter is indeed strange. The customs can accurately find the batch of goods, which shows that the way of information leakage is not simple. Moreover, the law enforcement officials' attitude just now was also very subtle. Although they suspended the action, they did not completely give up the investigation.
"So, what are you going to do?" Qin Yuan looked at Chu Liang and his tone was calm.
Chu Liang let out a mouthful of smoke and his eyes were sharp: "I want to find out who was making trouble behind the scenes. At the same time, I need to make sure that the next transaction will not be disturbed again. Brother Qin, this incident will be a test for you - if you are willing to help me find this inner demon, then I will trust you more."
Qin Yuan smiled slightly: "Of course, this kind of thing affects everyone's business, and it is necessary to find an insider."
Chu Liang nodded with a deep look: "Very good, then next, we want to meet someone, and he may know something."
Chu Liang's eyes looked at Qin Yuan through the smoke, with a hint of imperativeness: "This person, named Chen Hao, is a small partner of ours. He will be waiting for us in a bar in the city tonight. He is one of the only people who know the inside story of our recent bulk transactions. Although his background is not clean enough, he has some resources on the information network and can access some sensitive information. I suspect that the matter may be related to him."
Qin Yuan did not respond immediately, but pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, let's go see him. But since he is a suspicious person, how do you plan to make sure there is no problem with this meeting?"
Chu Liang's face darkened, and his brows frowned slightly: "I will keep a certain distance from him and leave him enough space, but I will never let him have the opportunity to detect our true purpose." He took a deep breath, "I don't fully trust him. We have to deal with this meeting carefully."
"I understand." Qin Yuan replied lightly.
A moment later, Qin Yuan, Chu Liang, Yue Ming and Duan Jinglin left the warehouse together and drove to the city. The atmosphere in the car was silent, and the air was filled with tension. Chu Liang sat in the passenger seat, silent, and his eyes swept to the rearview mirror from time to time, as if he was alerting to the surrounding situation.
The car quickly stopped in front of a bar called "Blues". Neon lights outside the bar flashed, low music sounds inside, and the air was filled with a mixture of alcohol and smoke. Chu Liang signaled everyone to follow him, and Qin Yuan and the two team members followed closely behind, staying alert.
When he walked into the bar, Qin Yuan glanced around. The atmosphere here was a bit dull, but there were constant crowds of people. Several smart-looking customers stood in front of the bar counter. Walking to a relatively quiet corner, Qin Yuan noticed a middle-aged man sitting at a table. The man was dressed properly, revealing a bit of shrewdness and caution between his eyebrows. The man looked up and saw Chu Liang, and immediately stood up, showing a reluctant smile: "Mr. Chu, I've been waiting for a long time."
Chu Liang smiled and stretched out his hand: "Chen Hao, it's been a long time."
"Yes, I haven't seen each other for a long time." Chen Hao held Chu Liang's hand, a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes, and his eyes turned to Qin Yuan, Yue Ming, and Duan Jinglin. "This is..." He frowned, obviously curious about Qin Yuan's identity.
Chu Liang smiled slightly, his tone was plain: "This is Brother Qin, his closest partner." He then turned to look at Qin Yuan, "This is Chen Hao, who has been working with us for a long time and involves some information channels."
Qin Yuan nodded slightly and stretched out his hand: "Mr. Chen, I'm very happy to see you."
Chen Hao's eyes sank, obviously looking at him through Qin Yuan's eyes, as if evaluating whether he is trustworthy. Then, he didn't say anything more and signaled everyone to sit down. The waiter in the bar quickly brought the drinks and everyone sat around. Although the atmosphere seemed relaxed on the surface, it was shrouded in a latent sense of tension.
"I heard from Mr. Chu that you have been involved in some important transactions recently." Chen Hao finally spoke, his tone was stable, "However, I have also heard about your actions. Some things may not be as simple as you think."
Chu Liang frowned slightly, was silent for a moment, and said softly: "What are you referring to?"
Chen Hao looked down at the wine glass, his tone was a little heavy: "Some people have already set their sights on you, or rather, their sights on your goods." He looked up at Qin Yuan, "If you are not careful in the content of your transaction, it may cause greater trouble."
Qin Yuan frowned slightly and said softly: "You mean, someone has learned about your transaction content?"
