He took out his cell phone from his pocket and quickly sent Duan Jinglin a text message: "Everything is normal, keep on being vigilant."

As soon as he put down his phone, he heard a whisper from afar. He frowned slightly and moved quietly toward the source of the sound. After going around several piles of abandoned machines, Qin Yuan saw through the gaps that several men in black coats were standing next to a shabby table with some documents and equipment piled up on the table. They were talking in a low voice, but every word allowed Qin Yuan to capture some key information.

"Are you sure this batch of goods can be delivered safely?" One of them said in a low and cold voice.

"Don't worry, the shipping channels have been arranged." Another sneered, "But you have to be careful of the investigation departments. We have to speed up and not let them discover it."

"I understand." Another nodded, "However, the situation has become more and more complicated recently. The partner is still testing us, so we have to be extra careful."

Qin Yuan could hear clearly in the dark that the conversations of these people did involve arms transactions. And they did not seem to trust themselves completely and were still tempted. This information is undoubtedly good news, at least it proves that they have not been fully exposed.

He breathed a sigh of relief, but did not act immediately, but waited for the other party to finish his words. A few minutes later, the three people seemed to have reached some consensus and began to pack up the things on the table and prepare to leave.

Qin Yuan took the opportunity to quietly retreat, avoided their sight, quickly walked out of the factory, and sent a text message to Duan Jinglin and Yue Ming: "The target appears, prepare for action."

Duan Jinglin and Yue Ming immediately came out of their hiding place and quickly approached the entrance of the factory. Qin Yuan led them into the depths of the factory. The people had already begun to leave, but their steps were not far away. Qin Yuan hid with the two of them with a pile of abandoned equipment, waiting for the other party to leave completely.

After a few minutes, the movement outside finally disappeared, and Qin Yuan signaled the two to follow. They came out of the hidden place with slight hands and quickly passed through the factory and walked towards the parking lot outside.

"The action goes smoothly." Qin Yuan whispered to the two, "but they have begun to doubt us. In the next few days, we have to be more careful."

Duan Jinglin nodded, slightly nervous: "It seems that our plan needs to be adjusted so that they can't notice that we are moving."

Yue Ming also took a deep breath: "Then what will we do next?"

Qin Yuan's eyes were cold and his tone was firm: "Continue to test, but make sure we are always proactive. Let them know that we are not as easy to deal with as they imagined."

The car slowly drove away from the abandoned industrial area, the street lights gradually became brighter, and the hustle and bustle of the city began to penetrate. Qin Yuan's eyes were deep, his hands were tightly holding the steering wheel, and his thinking was still wandering through the contact and dialogue just now.

"Those guys are unsure," he said softly.

Duan Jinglin poked his head out of the back seat, his tone of doubt: "Instructor, what do you mean?"

Qin Yuan turned his head slightly, his eyes sharp: "They are testing us, and at the same time they are worried that they will be exposed. It seems that they do not fully trust each other, for fear that we will have the will to cooperate."

Yue Ming frowned, obviously not fully understanding: "But they didn't seem to act immediately. Does this mean we have more time?"

Qin Yuan's mouth raised slightly, with a hint of sneer: "They gave us time, but this is also a double-edged sword. If we don't grasp it well, they will take the opportunity to be more vigilant."

Duan Jinglin nodded: "You mean, we can't let the other party notice our preparation?"

Qin Yuan briefly responded: "That's right. We have to keep a low profile, but we can't relax our guard."

The atmosphere in the car became solemn for a moment, and the three of them knew that every step next was crucial. Qin Yuan withdrew his gaze and looked at the gradually busy street outside the window, and had a new plan in his heart.

He quickly calculated in his heart that he would be more careful about tomorrow's actions. When he returned to the camp, the three of them did not discuss any more for the time being and went back to the barracks. It was late at night, and the lights in the camp flashed, and there was no one on the empty playground, only the sound of wind came occasionally. Qin Yuan led the two into his room, closed the door gently, and began to arrange the next plan.

"Are you ready?" He looked at Yue Ming and Duan Jinglin, with a firm determination in his eyes.

Yue Ming nodded: "It's ready."

Duan Jinglin still seemed a little nervous and adjusted his equipment: "Instructor, if our action is not successful this time, it may cause great trouble."

Qin Yuan slowly walked towards the window and looked at the night view outside through the glass of the window. It seemed quiet outside, but he knew in his heart that the shadow of the enemy had already enveloped the entire city and could reverse at any time. "Even if the trouble is too great, we have to go on." He paused, "I need you to stay calm. What we saw today is just the beginning. The things hidden behind the enemy are far beyond our imagination."

He looked back at the two of them, and said in a serious tone: "Today we have obtained enough information. Next, we will fight back with the other's timidity. You can prepare for it. When we meet tomorrow, we must hold the initiative firmly in our hands."

Yue Ming and Duan Jinglin looked at Qin Yuan. Although they were still a little doubtful, they nodded silently and began to organize their equipment. A few minutes later, the three of them were equipped and ready to enter the mission state.

"You'd better take a break in advance and try to stay awake tomorrow's actions." Qin Yuan said in a deep voice. He knew that every step today determines whether tomorrow will be successful.

Back at his bed, Qin Yuan took off his coat and lay down. Even on this quiet night, the pressure in his heart was still not released, and the other person's voice kept popping up in his mind. He could feel that he was getting closer and closer to the core character, and every step was crucial.

The night was dark and the surrounding environment was quiet, but he couldn't fall asleep. He kept thinking about how to take action next and how to take every step of the enemy in his hands.

The sky gradually became brighter, and the first ray of sunshine of dawn penetrated the curtains and sprinkled on the table. Qin Yuan opened his eyes, took a deep breath, quickly got up, packed up his equipment, and set off with the two of them again. This time, their goals became clearer, and the enemy's trump card was about to be revealed.

When they arrived at the scheduled joint location, there were still abandoned factories and messy grounds around them. Qin Yuan remained vigilant and directed the two to enter the factory carefully. Today, they were going to formally contact each other's buyers.

"Remember, stay calm, especially for you, don't do any unnecessary actions." Qin Yuan whispered.

Duan Jinglin and Yue Ming nodded, and they could clearly feel the tension of the atmosphere. A few minutes later, several figures came over from the other end of the factory. They were the people from yesterday, and there were two new faces. It seemed that their identities were more complicated and their aura was more oppressive.

Qin Yuan stood in a corner of the factory, observing the other party's actions. They gradually approached until one of the men suddenly stopped and their eyes swept over Qin Yuan coldly.

"You are the partners?" The man's voice was low and threatening.

Qin Yuan smiled slightly and responded calmly: "Yes, we are ready for everything."

The other party snorted coldly, with a little doubt in his eyes: "Can you guarantee that all this will go smoothly? We are not people who can cooperate casually."

Qin Yuan walked forward calmly and looked directly at the other party: "What you worry about is time, what we worry about is quality. Our cooperation is based on only one principle: both parties can benefit from it."

The other two new faces seemed a little surprised by Qin Yuan's attitude. After a few seconds of silence, one of them spoke: "Okay, let's see what you can bring to us."

Qin Yuan took out a piece of information from his arms slowly and handed it to the other party calmly: "This is the plan we have prepared so far. Cooperation is only part of it, and there are more opportunities later. You can take a look to see if it meets your needs."

The other party picked up the information and read it carefully, with a expressionless face. However, Qin Yuan knew in his heart that today's meeting would leave a deep impression on them no matter what. The other party's eyes had already moved away from the information and looked at Qin Yuan directly, with a hint of new consideration in his eyes.

"What is your trump card?" The other party's tone suddenly changed, his voice was low and full of threat.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "If you can see our true trump card, that is your biggest mistake." His words were filled with an overwhelming cold aura.

After a brief silence, the other party nodded slowly: "You don't seem to be simple."

"Then continue to cooperate." Qin Yuan said without more nonsense, "But I understand your concerns, and I will let you see the results."

The other party put away the information and smiled contemptuously: "Waiting for your results."

After the negotiations were over, Qin Yuan looked back at Duan Jinglin and Yue Ming behind him. The two were still vigilant, but there was a hint of relief in their eyes.

"Today's action, let's give them some hope first and then see their reactions." Qin Yuan said calmly, "But remember, our trump card will never be revealed until they really trust us."

When Qin Yuan took Duan Jinglin and Yue Ming out of the factory, the atmosphere around him was still tense, but on the surface, their pace was still calm and orderly. After the factory door closed, the car slowly drove out and left the seemingly dilapidated but full of danger.

"Our next action must convince the other party that we are not the partner who looks so 'low-key'." Qin Yuan's tone was still plain, but there was a deep calculation in his eyes.

Yue Ming frowned: "Instructor, are we a little... too eye-catching?"

Qin Yuan smiled coldly: "It is precisely because it is eye-catching that it is easier for the other party to underestimate us. Today's transaction is just the beginning. Next, we have to make them believe that we not only have the ability, but also have the funds, which can make them willingly cooperate with us."

Duan Jinglin thought to himself: "Do you want to let them relax their vigilance by creating the illusion of 'people stupid and have more money'?"

Qin Yuan nodded: "Yes, while keeping a low profile, create a rich and stupid image. Let them think we are the kind of fools who only know how to squander, so that they will be more likely to believe in our existence."

Yue Ming didn't quite understand: "Then how do we do it?"

"The most direct way is to enter the places they often go to and consume. Show that we don't care about money and create an illusion for them that we have enough resources." Qin Yuan's words were filled with a hint of calm confidence, "Tonight, we will go to a bar."

"Bar?" Yue Ming was obviously a little surprised, "Is it so low-key? Shouldn't you go to a high-end place?"

Qin Yuan smiled a little smile: "The bar is a mixed place with diverse identities and high secrets. We don't need to attract everyone's attention, just let the other party contact us, it's enough."

Duan Jinglin glanced at the street in front of him: "Okay, we understand."

When the car drove into the bustling area in the city center, Qin Yuan began to instruct Duan Jinglin to stop and led the two to walk into a bar called "Blue Temptation". The exterior wall of the bar was illuminated by neon lights, full of the atmosphere of a modern city. This is a common place for many businessmen, rich people and even black markets to buy and sell. People of various identities are suitable for low-key but meaningful interactions.

When Qin Yuan walked into the bar, he was tall and of extraordinary temperament, attracting some gazes around him. But he did not stop, but walked straight to a seat by the window. After sitting down, he signaled Duan Jinglin and Yue Ming to sit next to him.

The music in the bar was full of rhythm. DJ was playing on the stage with a hot diving. The beating rhythm made the atmosphere even more lively. Qin Yuan didn't care about the noise around him, and his eyes were calmly scanning around. After a moment, he signaled the waiter to come over.

"I want the most expensive bottle of wine, the price doesn't matter." Qin Yuan raised his eyes and looked at the waiter calmly.

The waiter was a little surprised, but soon returned to normal and nodded: "Okay, sir."

Not long after, a bottle of aged red wine was delivered to the table, and the waiter's expression was puzzled. Although most people in the bar drank beer or cocktails, the high-end red wine in front of him was obviously a luxury that was not very consistent with the atmosphere of the bar.

Qin Yuan picked up the wine glass and shook it gently a few times, as if savoring the fragrance of the wine. He looked at Duan Jinglin and Yue Ming, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Drink a glass, we have to make them believe tonight that we have money."

Yue Ming and Duan Jinglin looked at each other. Although hesitated, they finally raised the wine glass with Qin Yuan's gesture. The three of them gently touched the glasses, and the atmosphere seemed to become more subtle as the glasses collided.

"Do you think the other party will come?" Duan Jinglin asked in a low voice.
