Tam frowned slightly and made a sound, presumably to let the person in. Once the person entered, they chatted for a while, and I noticed Tam's expression gradually darkening, turning somewhat sinister.
Then, unexpectedly, he looked at me!
What the hell! What was going on? Wasn't Liuzi monitoring Kyle's downfall?
Xiang Laodi, I apologize for my earlier behavior. I suddenly feel that collaborating with Tian Ye Group is also a good choice.
A smile appeared at the corner of Tam's mouth, and I was momentarily taken aback. What was this about?
Naturally, it was the best option.
I smiled and said, still wondering what news this little brother had reported to Tam.
Then Tam spoke up: "Well, let's go with the price that Xiang Laodi suggested. However, now that we are partners, I have a favor to ask of you. I wonder if Xiang Laodi could help me?"
Tam looked at me with a beaming smile. I furrowed my brow; Tam wanted me to do him a favor? It must be related to what that little brother just reported.
"Please go ahead, General," I replied calmly. Since Tam was asking for my help, it must be something I could manage.
"Here's the thing," he continued. "I have three children. My son loves to travel and is particularly fond of Huaxia, but he has encountered some problems there. I thought Xiang Laodi, being one of the Huaxia people, might have a way to assist him."
So that was it! What a coincidence! That’s great!
"Of course, no problem at all. I'm sure Tam General has heard of Tian Ye Group's capabilities in Huaxia. Whatever it is, just tell me; I'll call someone from Tian Ye Group right now."
I smiled at Tam, who also smiled back and nodded. Then he said: "Actually, my son has offended someone from your Huaxia Qing Gang."
"What? Qing Gang?" I was taken aback!
Qing Gang! The oldest gang in Huaxia! They have practically withdrawn from the underworld! It’s hard enough to find them! How did your son manage to offend someone from Qing Gang?
"Yes, I'm aware of Qing Gang's influence in Huaxia," Tam continued. "So this is also a test of your capabilities. I won't consider working with partners who lack ability. What do you think? Can you handle it?"
Tam looked at me with a smile, but his hand subtly moved again. Clearly, if I said I couldn't do it, he would lose his temper with me.
I called the headquarters of Tian Ye Group.
I answered and took out my phone, dialing Fang Ying's number. Tam smiled at me while I was on the call, saying nothing; he knew this was beyond my control.
"Hello?" Fang Ying's voice came through. I quickly explained the situation and asked if they could save Tam's son, Bill.
"Tell Tam that we at Tian Ye Group can save his son, and also let him know that our cooperation is going smoothly," Fang Ying said without a hint of hesitation or surprise.
I was taken aback. Was Tian Ye Group truly this powerful? Or had Qing Gang already been in contact with them? Or perhaps everything was already under Tian Ye Group's control?
I arrived at the time Fang Ying had set; she insisted that I must depart on schedule. Before that, Tian Ye Group must have gathered information on Tam, including investigating his son’s situation. When they discovered that Bill would be coming to Huaxia soon, did they orchestrate this entire scenario just for this moment?
Well done!
Even though they hadn’t shared their plans with me, it was probably for the best! If I had known too much, I might have become complacent and risked a slip-up.
This also indicated that Tian Ye Group had connections with Qing Gang!
"Tam General, I just spoke with our General Manager. She assured me that your son will safely return to you, and she asked me to convey her wishes for a pleasant cooperation," I said to Tam with a smile. I deliberately referred to Fang Ying as the General Manager because, logically, since I reported this matter to her, she wouldn’t have the authority to make decisions on the spot.
This made me suspect that this whole scenario had been planned by them all along. If I could think of this, I naturally wanted to avoid letting Tam catch on, so I directly stated that Fang Ying could make decisions as the General Manager.
I love working with capable partners! Haha!
Tam burst into laughter, clearly satisfied. I smiled too; I was pleased with Tian Ye Group's actions this time. They were eager for this cooperation to succeed; even if the goods were slightly more expensive, it was still better than wiping out Tam while supporting a new force.
But I also knew that this cooperation was only temporary. Once Tian Ye Group developed to a certain point, they would eventually eliminate Tam and choose to support their own forces in Jinshan Jiao—Tian Ye Group definitely had that ambition!
After successfully negotiating the cooperation, I discussed the logistics of transporting goods with Tam. The responsibility for shipping the goods would fall on him.
At that moment, I understood why Tam was reluctant to cooperate with Tian Ye Group; within Huaxia, there were strict controls over such matters, making his shipping risks significantly higher.
It was precisely because of this that the Tian Ye Group did not intend to negotiate with Tam, as there was no point in trying. However, even so, I still did not receive the quantity of goods that the Tian Ye Group requested. Tam told me that it wasn't that he didn't want to sell to me; it was just that he genuinely had none available at the moment. Goods were in short supply right now, otherwise he wouldn't let potential partners go unutilized, especially when it came to making sofas. But if the cooperation with the Tian Ye Group went smoothly, he would produce more for them later.
I understood after hearing this; he was willing to send as much as he could, since it would ultimately be destroyed by the Huaxia Police anyway. The Tian Ye Group likely wouldn't mind how much they received, especially since Tam mentioned that there would be room for negotiation on this matter later.
"Then it's settled, Brother Xiang. You go back and have the people at the Tian Ye Group transfer the deposit to me, and I will arrange for the shipment. As per our agreement, payment will be made upon delivery!"
After we finished discussing, Tam smiled at me and said he wouldn’t dwell on his son’s situation anymore. He knew that once the Tian Ye Group agreed to something, they would follow through.
"Then I won't keep you any longer. I wish you continued success and great wealth, General Tam!"
I stood up to bid farewell to Tam. He smiled and waved his hand, signaling that I could leave. He didn’t see me off; I simply took my two underlings and exited the wooden house, heading down the mountain.
Damn, this Drug Lord is really impressive! If it weren’t for his son’s situation, he would have been ready to kill us!
Indeed, but Tam wasn’t wrong; our Huaxia has too strict regulations. Whether it’s transporting goods or anything else, it’s not suitable for this kind of business. It was understandable that Tam was unwilling to cooperate with us.
On the way back, my two underlings were discussing things while I remained silent.
This situation could be described as smooth sailing, primarily because the Tian Ye Group was secretly assisting us. Their maneuvering was far superior to my attempt to kidnap Kyle to save my own life.
But I couldn’t help but wonder: Did the Tian Ye Group really have ties with Qing Gang?
Earlier, I had been curious about who could have harmed Tian Ye Group's big boss, Tian Feng! It turned out to be someone from Qing Gang!
Qing Gang seemed to have withdrawn from the scene for a long time, but were they trying to make a comeback through the Tian Ye Group? When Fang Ying presided over a meeting before, she mentioned that Qing Gang and Hongmen would eventually return with a vengeance.
So now the Tian Ye Group was siding with Qing Gang? Were they preparing to confront Hongmen in the future?
All of this was merely speculation on my part, but it was certainly possible. The overall strength of Hongmen surpassed that of Qing Gang, which meant Hongmen had a significant restraining effect on Qing Gang. However, if Qing Gang were to don the guise of the Tian Ye Group and re-enter the fray, they could grow stronger without Hongmen being aware of their true intentions.
Once the Tian Ye Group grew strong enough, would they merge with Qing Gang to take on Hongmen?
If that happened, Hongmen might not be as formidable as Qing Gang!
I sat in the car deep in thought until I returned to my place. I called Liu Zi and informed him that negotiations had been successful; he could bring people back now.
I didn’t particularly enjoy staying in Jinshan Jiao; there were still many matters waiting for me to handle back in Kyoto. I also needed to search for Linna. Therefore, after concluding this deal, I had no intention of resting and immediately set off back home.
Moreover, I had a feeling that things wouldn’t be so simple. While Tam’s side had been resolved, Liu Sen was in prison and Wan Fei was in the hospital; that group hadn’t made any moves yet. Could it be that Fang Ying had suppressed them?
Regardless of what happened next, I needed to hurry back home—delays could lead to unforeseen changes.
