As he watched Tan Cheng's retreating figure leave without hesitation, his eyes flickered.
immediately!
He turned to look at the screen in the office and asked, "Uncle Yao, what do you think?"
next second!
From behind the screen emerged an imposing old man holding a cigar.
It was none other than Uncle Yao, the person in charge behind the scenes of the group.
Uncle Yao picked up his cigar, took a puff, and exhaled, saying, "Ah Hao was quite loyal to me back then, so I don't think he's likely lying. We can give this deal a try!"
Loyal?
You know he's incredibly loyal, yet you still asked me to betray him back then?
Tan Cheng sneered inwardly, but outwardly said, "Since Uncle Yao has said so, let's give it a try. I'll send someone by plane to the mainland of Sakura to check things out!"
"If there are no problems with the information, let Hao contact the other party and arrange a meeting!"
"Ok!"
Uncle Yao nodded, then said casually, "However, Ah Hao has been in there for several years now, and time always changes things. We should be careful then and test him more!"
"understand!"
Tan Cheng nodded.
Chapter 419 A Small Test
The counterfeit money ring is highly efficient.
In less than four days, the people Tan Cheng sent had already found out Jeff's whereabouts on the mainland of Sakura.
It has been confirmed that most of the information Song Zihao provided is true.
There is one thing that is a little unusual.
During their investigation, the gang discovered that Jeff had disappeared from the organization a week prior, reportedly to visit his lover. This seemed inconsistent with his appearance in Hong Kong.
but!
This is easy to explain.
The other party may be using the pretense of looking for a lover to conceal their whereabouts and secretly come to Hong Kong to find their group.
After all, you can't exactly go out of your way to find counterfeit money channels openly, can you?
That would be truly stupid!
Therefore, both Tan Cheng and Uncle Yao's general assessment of Jeff is basically correct.
then!
Tan Cheng called Song Zihao and said with a smile, "Brother Hao, we've finished our investigation, and Jeff really doesn't have any problems. So, how about you arrange for us to meet tomorrow?"
He paused, then added, "Of course, I know that according to the rules, you, as a middleman, should receive a certain amount of 'tea money,' and I certainly won't treat you unfairly in that regard!"
Tea money is given to middlemen who introduce business deals; every industry requires it, and their line of work is no exception.
Hearing the voice on the phone, Song Zihao was secretly startled, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "No need for tea money. I'm just repaying Uncle Yao's kindness back then. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten involved in this matter."
"As for arranging your meeting, just choose a location and send me the time and place, and I'll make the arrangements!"
His surprise stemmed from the fact that the other party had failed to detect the problem.
As a former boss of a counterfeit money ring, he began to understand just how rigorous the counterfeit money ring's identity checks were.
Even the slightest problem can be detected.
The information Lin Zhengyi gave him now has no problems.
How could he not be surprised?
at the same time!
He secretly marveled at the police officer's skill; he had even managed to evade the investigation of the counterfeit money ring.
"Okay, okay, I'll arrange it right away!" Tan Cheng readily agreed.
-
The next day!
Peninsula Hotel.
Tan Cheng arrived here with a group of his underlings and booked a private room.
After that, they waited quietly in the private room.
Not long!
"Dong dong!"
There was a knock on the door of the private room.
Tan Cheng's face lit up with joy. He put his arm around the younger brother who was about to open the door and went to open it himself.
next second.
Song Zihao walked in with a blond, blue-eyed foreigner.
"Brother Hao, you're here!"
Tan Cheng first greeted Song Zihao with a fake smile, then quickly glanced at the foreigner beside him. His face lit up with joy, and he extended his hand, saying, "Mr. Jeff, welcome!"
"You must be Mr. Tan?"
Jeff, speaking in broken Hong Kong dialect, asked indifferently.
At the same time, he extended his hand and shook hands with Tan Cheng.
of course!
The Jeff in front of him was not the real Jeff, but Lin Zhengyi, who was disguised as Jeff.
"It's down!"
Tan Cheng responded with a smile, then praised, "I didn't expect Mr. Jeff to be able to speak our Hong Kong dialect, and so well at that!"
“Don’t you have an old saying, ‘It’s always good to have more skills’? That’s why I like to learn all sorts of random things, including Hong Kong dialect. I think it’s never a bad thing to learn more!” Lin Zhengyi replied.
"Mr. Jeff is right, it's never a bad thing to learn more!"
After saying that with a smile, Tan Cheng then casually added, "By the way, did Mr. Jeff come alone?"
This was his test.
Jeff came with no one except for Song Zihao.
This made him a little puzzled.
Logically speaking, as a second-generation member of a gang, even if he wanted to secretly come to them for a transaction, he should at least bring a few people with him, right?
You came alone, aren't you afraid they'll double-cross you?
and so!
That's why he asked that question.
To this!
Lin Zhengyi raised an eyebrow, but asked indifferently, "What? Do we need many more people to come over?"
"No, no, no, I'm just curious. I wonder if Mr. Jeff could answer my question a little?" Tan Cheng asked earnestly.
He knew that Jeff must have sensed his suspicion and knew that Jeff was testing him.
But it doesn't matter.
If the other party is truly there to make a deal, they wouldn't mind such a small probing.
But if the other party isn't genuinely interested in the transaction, then he won't suffer any loss if they leave.
"Hehe, since you want to know, I'll tell you. It's because of Mr. Song Zihao's guarantee that there will be no problem with the transaction that I didn't send my men along."
"Of course, although I trust Mr. Song Zihao very much, according to your old saying, one should always be wary of others. I have also made a small safeguard to ensure that even if you turn against me, I can handle this matter on my own!"
Lin Zhengyi sneered, then reached out and slightly opened his clothes, revealing the detonators underneath. With a hint of madness in his eyes, he said, "No matter how many people you bring, none of them are as effective as this thing, right?"
madman!
This guy is insane!!!
Tan Cheng's heart pounded, and a thought flashed through his mind.
If he weren't crazy, who would strap so many detonators to himself to negotiate?
Aren't you afraid of it accidentally exploding?
However, this also dispelled many of Tan Cheng's doubts.
He felt that the police couldn't possibly be that crazy.
Thinking about it, cold sweat poured down his forehead. He forced himself to calm down, then went up to Jeff, pulled him to a seat, and chuckled, saying, "Haha, Mr. Jeff is right, this thing really works."
"Alright, we've been talking for so long, you must be tired of standing, Mr. Jeff. Please take a seat, let's order some food and drinks, and chat while we eat and drink!"
Lin Zhengyi listened and then sat down as well.
Meanwhile, Song Zihao, acting as the middleman, also sat down.
Tan Cheng also found a seat nearby and sat down.
Then!
He said, "Let's skip the food and drinks for now. I know you Hong Kong people like to settle things over a meal, but drinking can cloud your judgment. Let's finish our business first, then we can have a drink!"
Listen!
Tan Cheng smiled and said, "Mr. Jeff is so straightforward. In that case, let's get down to business!"
He paused for a moment, then asked, "Mr. Jeff, how much stock do you need?"
"Do you even know the rules? Of course, we check the quality of your goods first, then determine the price, and finally the quantity!" Lin Zhengyi said coldly.
