Jiang Zhuyu was a little surprised.
She hadn’t expected that this Jiang Chuan would actually not plan to show himself, and would just directly let them inspect the goods?
That didn’t make sense.
For a normal transaction, shouldn’t the other party show up, then both sides inspect the goods, trade face-to-face, and settle the final payment on the spot?
This Jiang Chuan really was bold.
“Aren’t you afraid we’ll deny this batch of goods and refuse to pay the balance?” Jiang Zhuyu said with a cold smile.
On the phone, Jiang Chuan didn’t hesitate for even a moment, and laughed heartily, “It’s fine. If you really don’t pay the balance, I still have ways to find you.
Don’t forget, I still have the bank account you used to transfer the money, and your phone number too. If I want to, I can find out your location at any time.”
Hearing this, Jiang Zhuyu’s pupils contracted, and her expression became a little unsettled.
If things really were as Jiang Chuan said, then they really shouldn’t refuse to pay the balance.
After all, this circle was only so big. If they didn’t pay the balance, Jiang Chuan would only need to ask around a little to find out that they were fake buyers, and then he would start to suspect that they might be police.
If Jiang Chuan really did find that out, it would be troublesome.
“You’re quite thorough in your thinking. Heh, fine. Then we’ll inspect the goods first.”
As she spoke, Jiang Zhuyu signaled to a plainclothes officer beside her to step forward and open the door of the medium-sized truck.
At that moment, the plainclothes officer from before walked back and discreetly shook his head at Jiang Zhuyu. The meaning was clear: no one had been found nearby.
Jiang Zhuyu narrowed her eyes.
So the other party really had withdrawn before they arrived?
He really was bold.
Or was it that the other party had seized on the fact that she wouldn’t dare refuse to pay the balance, and that was why he was acting so recklessly?
Jiang Zhuyu began to brainstorm.
At the same time, she also realized a problem: Jiang Chuan was testing them.
It all depended on whether they accepted this batch of goods. If they accepted it and paid the balance, that would mean they probably had no problems, and the transaction would be considered over.
But if they didn’t pay the balance and openly took this batch of goods back, then Jiang Chuan would conclude that they were police, people from the authorities.
After all, the transaction location had even been chosen here in Laoyue Country, so close to Jiuzhou.
His scheming really was deep. It was hard to imagine that this was the mindset of a young man only in his twenties.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm her emotions.
Looking up at the two medium-sized trucks, the plainclothes officers were already moving the goods out.
She stepped forward and casually opened one box. When she saw the dense assortment of firearms inside, her red lips couldn’t help but tremble slightly.
The first thing she recognized was the FN-FAL automatic rifle!
This kind of automatic rifle was a military automatic rifle produced by Belgium. It was basically not sold abroad, and was a self-developed and self-produced automatic rifle of their country.
It had not circulated on the market on any large scale.
Where had Jiang Chuan gotten this batch of guns?
Opening another box, when she saw the Steyr AUG rifles inside, her expression froze again.
The manufacturer of this Steyr AUG rifle was the famous Austrian arms manufacturer Steyr Mannlicher GmbH, which produced this automatic rifle.
This automatic rifle actually circulated relatively well on the market, and many people bought it.
The more than a dozen boxes she opened afterward completely confirmed her thinking.
Among the total of ten thousand firearms, there were four kinds of automatic rifles, and all of them were well-known guns used by various countries.
There were 2,500 of each kind. The bullets hadn’t been counted, but the quantity was also extremely large.
At least for now, there was no sign that anything was missing, but specifically, they would still need to take these guns and bullets back before inspecting them.
This Jiang Chuan really did have some strength. He was actually able to get so many guns and so many bullets.
This was not something a small arms dealer could do at all. Jiang Chuan had to be a major arms dealer!
Maybe Jiang Chuan hadn’t been bragging either. He might really have an arms factory!
Otherwise, he really might not have been able to get so many guns in such a short time.
“How is it? Are you satisfied with the goods?” Jiang Chuan’s voice came through the phone again.
Jiang Zhuyu steadied herself and forced a smile, “They look pretty good, but as for how these guns actually are, we’ll still need to test them to know.”
“Suit yourselves. As long as you transfer the balance on time, that’s fine. I’ll give you one day. Is that enough?” Jiang Chuan said casually.
Jiang Zhuyu nodded, “Yeah, enough.”
With that, she hung up directly.
Holding the satellite phone in her hand, she looked at the dazzling array of firearms and bullets before her, an extremely shocking quantity, and took a deep breath, “Load them all into the vehicles.”
The plainclothes officers nodded and began moving them again.
Then, she turned to look at the plainclothes officer from before, and while turning, quickly and discreetly said, “Have everyone check again whether there’s anyone nearby, but remember, don’t alert them. After all, Jiang Chuan very likely isn’t here.”
Regarding this series of probing moves by Jiang Chuan, she believed that Jiang Chuan might really not have come. Even if there were people nearby, they should only be the delivery men.
So their best course of action now was to take the goods and leave immediately, avoiding letting Jiang Chuan sense anything unusual.
Otherwise, the moment they made an arrest, Jiang Chuan would learn about it right after, and would realize that they were actually police or military.
In that case, they would never have another chance to catch Jiang Chuan.
She had finally opened up such a breakthrough and found Jiang Chuan’s trail. She didn’t want the clue to end just like that.
She stepped into the car and sat inside, brows tightly furrowed, expression grave. In her mind, she kept refining the next plan and imagining how to truly lure Jiang Chuan out and capture him.
A major arms dealer who might have an arms factory, if left to roam freely outside, could very likely cause extremely serious consequences.
And those consequences were something no one could bear.
“Sister Jiang, the goods are all loaded,” a plainclothes officer said solemnly.
The plainclothes officer from before also walked back, “Sister Jiang, still no sign of anyone. To avoid alerting them, they didn’t probe too deeply either.”
Jiang Zhuyu nodded, “I understand. Get in the cars. Let’s take this batch of arms back first. We’ll talk after we return.”
This arrest operation was doomed to return empty-handed, but there was no other way. Jiang Chuan was just too vigilant, leaving them no opportunity to make a move.
With that, she closed her eyes, leaned back against the seat, and said nothing.
Several plainclothes officers quickly got into the cars as well. Two plainclothes officers with truck licenses drove the two medium-sized trucks, following behind the black SUV, heading deeper into Laoyue Country.
And after driving quite far, they turned around and headed straight for Jiuzhou territory.
