My girlfriend is from 1949

Li Hao raised an eyebrow and immediately perked up.

If a friend recommends it, then it's a targeted purchase, and the probability of buying it is likely to be high.

They are high-quality customers!

However, according to the rules, and out of caution, it's still necessary to ask who made the introduction.

You can't just reveal things you shouldn't based on a "friend's introduction".

What if it's a deliberate entrapment operation by relevant authorities?

It's not impossible, so we shouldn't be complacent.

Only after asking clearly can you feel at ease.

Generally speaking, most military enthusiasts prefer to buy online.

Although there's a world of difference in quality, the price is cheaper and the styles are even better.

Moreover, it's much lighter and more convenient to wear than military-grade ones.

If it's just a hobby, then buying counterfeit goods online is definitely the way to go.

Li Hao asked, "Who recommended you?"

There are only a handful of military enthusiasts who are truly willing to spend money to buy military-grade bulletproof vests from his store.

Everyone is a familiar person whose name I know.

You'll know as soon as you ask!

Lu Tong smiled and said, "Chen Huai'an."

Her voice was light and casual, and she even winked playfully.

It's as if the two are friends.

"Chen Huai'an...?"

Li Hao slowly repeated it to himself, a look of confusion on his face.

But inside, a storm was brewing, and my mind was racing.

He shook his head: "I don't know him."

He looked completely bewildered, as if he really didn't recognize him.

If someone else had introduced him, he certainly wouldn't have thought much of it.

However, Chen Huai'an stated that it was absolutely impossible.

Their deal was never going to be done in the open.

If the industry and commerce departments find out, the military surplus store will definitely be fined.

Chen Huai'an's troubles have become even greater!

First, we need to explain where the 1,300 bulletproof vests we bought went.

If the goods are indeed sold to Africa, then export receipts must be provided.

Li Hao didn't say it aloud, but he had long suspected that these bulletproof vests weren't sold to his African brothers.

Otherwise, if we follow the proper procedures, licensed military supply stores will be eager to cooperate with us.

Even the manufacturers know about it, and they will offer discounts, eliminating middlemen and supplying goods directly from the manufacturers.

Even the Ministry of Defense, if it knew about it, would cooperate with him.

It was shipped out through legitimate channels, openly and honestly.

However, he chose to partner with his own store.

Moreover, it was an unlicensed entity that could only secretly purchase goods through affiliation.

Li Hao was a smart man, so he naturally realized that something was wrong.

However, the control over bulletproof vests in China is not actually very strict.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been caught; they would have only been fined.

Unlike firearms, even toy guns can lead to arrest and imprisonment if they exceed the prescribed joule count.

After two months of observation, Li Hao still couldn't figure out that Chen Huai'an was a spy.

Aside from the slightly odd sourcing of goods, there's nothing else wrong with it.

Whether it's the goods or anything else, they are all old items from decades ago and could not possibly pose a threat to national security.

But now that a girl has brought it up, things are not so ordinary!

Based on his understanding of Chen Huai'an, it was impossible for him to reveal such a thing to others.

As for introducing other people, that's even more impossible!

Chen Huai'an believes in win-win transactions. He won't let others make too much money, but he also won't let them suffer losses. He is very generous in his daily life, except when he is trading.

Just treating everyone to meals at his private kitchen costs several thousand dollars per meal.

At the very least, when you're ordering other items, you can help by ordering an extra one as well.

In Li Hao's eyes, the biggest flaw was precisely because the other party was a young woman!

Chen Huai'an's girlfriend, Lin Wan, is unmatched by other girls in terms of figure, appearance, and even her family background that allows her to collect antiques.

Would he talk to another girl about something as shameful as illegally purchasing large quantities of bulletproof vests?

In Li Hao's impression, Chen Huai'an was not the kind of nerdy guy who had never seen a woman, much less someone who would casually reveal such things.

If the girl in front of him really had a close relationship with Chen Huai'an, he definitely wouldn't have introduced her; he would have just given her a gift directly.

So, there's something wrong with this woman!

Denying it to the death is the best option.

Li Hao smiled and said, "Beautiful lady, as far as I can remember, I don't know anyone named Chen Huai'an. My shop has a lot of civilian-grade bulletproof vests, and they look great. Why don't you pick one out?"

He acted completely nonchalant, as if he truly didn't know her.

Lu Tong's lips curled up, revealing a playful smile.

"You really don't know me?"

"I absolutely don't recognize him!"

Are you sure?

"I'm not one to lie, I'm sure I don't know him!"

"And now?"

"Um... I've long suspected he's a walking 500,000, but I lacked evidence. That's why I pretended to trade with him to gather evidence and then report him to you!"

Li Hao's expression froze for a moment, but he immediately changed his mind without hesitation.

Especially when he saw the ID card with the words "National Security" on it, he instantly became righteous and awe-inspiring.

They portray their illegal transactions as mere pretense to get close to each other and gather evidence!

His smile was stiff, and cold sweat had broken out on his back.

Without even thinking, he voiced his suspicions.

Lu Tong put her ID back in her pocket and said calmly, "Your illegal sale of bulletproof vests falls under the jurisdiction of the Industry and Commerce Bureau. I'm only here today to learn more about the situation."

Dealing with this kind of stubborn person is pointless; you can't get him to cooperate unless you show him your credentials.

Upon hearing these words, Li Hao felt as if he had suddenly come back to life.

It's obvious that they're after Chen Huai'an!

She wouldn't interfere with his illegal resale of military bulletproof vests.

If the clues provided are helpful, they won't even be reported to the Administration for Industry and Commerce.

At the very least, we must avoid alerting the suspects before solving the case.

This is also an opportunity for me to make a contribution.

More importantly, the moment the other party showed his identification, it proved that he and Chen Huai'an were not in cahoots.

As long as you're not considered an accomplice, the fine from the Industry and Commerce Bureau is a minor matter.

At worst, they can try to get the fine reduced by making some more moves.

Even the fine for counterfeit silver bracelets at gold shops is only 739.75 yuan. His case is much easier to resolve if things are handled smoothly!

"Phew~".

Li Hao breathed a sigh of relief, secretly rejoicing, "Thank goodness I didn't go into selling potatoes, otherwise I would have been fined into bankruptcy!"

Lu Tong definitely didn't consider him an accomplice.

From Li Hao's perspective, it was just a transaction between the two of them.

In reality, Chen Huai'an had business dealings with not only Li Hao, but also Feng Chaoyang, Zhou Hongsheng, Tian Lao, boat owners, and drone dealers.

Are they all accomplices?

Lu Tong tapped the table with her hand and said calmly, "Now can we talk about Chen Huai'an?"

"Yes, absolutely!" Li Hao hurriedly gestured, "Comrade Guoan, please sit here, I'll explain in detail!"
