The tall man motioned him to sit down and poured wine for Qin Yuan himself. "You dressed so formally today, it seems that you are very sincere. Come on, we won't go around the corner and just get to the point." He said, signaling the others to leave, as if he didn't want any outsiders to participate in the negotiation.

The room suddenly became quiet. Qin Yuan gently put down his wine glass and stared at the tall man calmly. "Since that's the case, I'm not polite." He calmed down, "I have considered the cooperation between us many times. What I can provide for you is not only funds, but also more channels and resources. Moreover, based on our trust today, I hope we can push this cooperation to a higher level."

The tall man nodded slightly, and a hint of praise flashed in his eyes: "I can see your sincerity, but I don't know what you mean by 'higher level'?"

Qin Yuan paused and said softly: "I can provide you with opportunities to enter a larger market. There are already many resources we can use in this market, but it is not public. If you want, I can lead you into this field." He paused, "There are many interest groups here with great potential. All the resources are integrated together to bring us rich returns."

The man pondered for a moment, with some undetectable light flashing in his eyes: "What you said sounds attractive. But what do you mean by 'not public'?"

Qin Yuan lowered his head and replied in a warm voice: "Unpublic means that this market has its own characteristics and involves some more secret transactions. We must operate it carefully. But if you can accept the risks and be prepared to take action, then we can quickly occupy this market."

The tall man frowned slightly after hearing this, and seemed to be hesitant. "This kind of market risk is not small, especially the secret transaction you mentioned."

"Of course, any successful cooperation comes with risks, but because of this, this can better prove the value of cooperation." Qin Yuan's tone was still stable, "We do not do business with lower risks, we only do big business. If we want to get a return, we must pay the corresponding price."

The man was silent for a moment, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes: "Your proposal is indeed very tempting. I admit that I have some interest in this market, but can I give me a specific guarantee?"

Qin Yuan smiled lightly, put down the wine glass in his hand, and said calmly: "The guarantee you need most is not funds, but my promise. I have made all the preparations and can provide you with specific operating plans. Once you decide, we can start cooperation immediately."

The man looked at Qin Yuan quietly, as if measuring every word he said. "I can see that you are a very ambitious person and smart enough. This kind of cooperation is worth in-depth, but I still want to look at the resources you mentioned."

"The resources you mentioned are ready." Qin Yuan took out a detailed plan from his bag, "This is a complete resource chain that we can provide, including market analysis, partners, and subsequent fund transfer methods. You can take a closer look to ensure that we do have the initiative in this field."

The man took the document and started to look through it. Qin Yuan sat opposite him and waited patiently. A few minutes later, the man put down the document and smiled slightly: "Very good, you did it well. Since that's the case, I'm willing to learn more and see how this market operates."

"Thank you for your trust." Qin Yuan nodded to express his gratitude, "However, our negotiations have just begun today, and we need to discuss the specific details of the next cooperation."

The man stood up, walked to the window, looked at the scenery outside, and seemed to be thinking about something. "Okay, Brother Qin, since you are so sincere, I won't make things difficult for you. In the next few days, I will arrange for relevant personnel to connect with you and discuss the specific details."

Qin Yuan stood up and nodded politely: "I look forward to further cooperation with you."

The man turned around and looked at Qin Yuan, and the smile on his face became even gentler: "Don't worry, we will definitely achieve a win-win situation in the next cooperation."

The next day, the sun shone into the room through the gaps in the curtains. Qin Yuan opened his eyes and felt a little complicated.

His mobile phone screen lit up, breaking the brief silence. He picked up his phone and saw a message: "There is a party tonight, come and attend together, Chu Liang." From the invitation of the tall man, Chu Liang.

Qin Yuan smiled and replied: "Okay, I'll be here on time."

Departing from the hotel, he drove to the party place. At night, the city lights shone on his car windows, and people came and went on the bustling streets, but Qin Yuan's thoughts were still clear and he was always alert. Tonight, Chu Liang obviously had deeper plans, and he also had his own purpose.

The party was located in a luxury villa in the city center. The surroundings were quiet and hidden in the bustling city, which seemed particularly mysterious. After Qin Yuan got off the car, the bodyguard led him through the courtyard and into the grand villa. Outside the villa, several luxury cars were parked at the gate, and the lights inside flashed and the sound of low music came. Obviously, this party was not a simple social banquet.

When he walked into the door, Qin Yuan saw some strange faces, some looked like business tycoons, and some looked like exquisitely dressed socialites, but everyone's eyes revealed a hidden sharpness, as if everyone had an ulterior motive. Chu Liang was standing in a corner and talking to several men in suits. Seeing Qin Yuan come in, he showed a calm smile and waved to him.

"Brother Qin, we are finally here." Chu Liang's tone was relaxed, as if he had already been looking forward to Qin Yuan's arrival. "Today's party is mainly to entertain some important guests, so you might as well do whatever you want."

Qin Yuan nodded slightly, signaling that he would not be polite anymore, so he found a seat to sit down casually. "Brother Chu, is it to solve the problem of cooperation today?"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Chu Liang smiled faintly: "Of course, the party is for relaxation, but you know the potential opportunities." He stretched out his finger and pointed to the guests around him, "Most of these people can provide important resources and information for our cooperation."

Qin Yuan picked up the wine glass and looked at Chu Liang carefully. He knew that Chu Liang was not a simple businessman, and what was hidden behind such a party must be an ordinary business transaction.

Not long after, Chu Liang seemed to feel Qin Yuan's gaze, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly: "Follow me." He whispered, turned around and walked towards the basement of the villa.

Qin Yuan's heart moved, stood up, followed Chu Liang into the interior of the villa. There were no extra bodyguards outside the basement door, which seemed surprisingly quiet. Chu Liang opened the door in front, and there was a spacious basement inside. The air was a bit dull, but in this dark space, there was a faint sound of metal collision and low footsteps.

"This is where I store important goods." Chu Liang seemed to notice Qin Yuan's vigilance, his tone was plain but with a hint of provocation. "Some things are something that ordinary people cannot see."

The lights in the basement suddenly lit up, and Qin Yuan's eyes suddenly opened up. What caught his eye were rows of precise weapons and equipment. In the center of the warehouse, there were several boxes of seemingly ordinary goods, but obviously, the value of these items was far beyond the surface.

Chu Liang stood aside with a hint of pride in his eyes: "These are arms I recently acquired from foreign channels. Although our country has banned these things, the demand for these weapons is still very strong in specific places."

Qin Yuan's pupils slightly shrank, and a wave of turmoil occurred in his heart. The weapons in front of him were obviously not ordinary civilian guns. Behind each gun, it represents huge black market transactions and endless interests. This is also where Chu Liang's real business is.

"Are you going to trade weapons?" Qin Yuan said calmly, but was a little shocked.

Chu Liang smiled faintly and said, "Trading does not refer to these weapons, but more to build a wider global network through these things. And I hope that you can join and become a part of this network. Your resources are very important to me."

Qin Yuan was silent for a while, his eyes were still on those sophisticated guns, but he was thinking quickly in his heart. He understood that there were huge risks hidden behind this kind of business, which also meant that it involved complex international interests. If he chose to continue to cooperate, it would mean that he entered a dark world and would no longer involve money.

"You know, Brother Qin, there is no turning back on our road." Chu Liang suddenly spoke, his tone with a kind of provocation and temptation, "But if you choose this road, you can get unimaginable wealth and power."

Qin Yuan slowly raised his head and looked at Chu Liang deeply. The air seemed to be frozen for a moment, and time seemed to stop. He finally spoke in a cold tone: "I need time to think about it."

Chu Liang smiled slightly: "I understand. The things you see today are the opportunities you want, but the premise is that you have to pay the price."

"Pay a price?" Qin Yuan asked back, frowned slightly.

"That's right." Chu Liang's eyes became deep, "You have to know that once these weapons enter the black market, it means that the lives of countless people will be affected. Are you ready to take on all this and become part of this game?"

Qin Yuan was silent for a moment, but his eyes still did not leave those weapons. He knew that Chu Liang was not a simple businessman, but a person who was truly capable of operating in the gray area. He never thought that he would reach this point today, but there was no absolute right or wrong in this world, only power and interests.

He took a deep breath and finally spoke: "I won't make a decision easily, but I will consider it."

Chu Liang nodded, and a trace of expectation flashed in his eyes: "Okay, Brother Qin, remember, there is only one real opportunity. I will give you time, but don't let me wait too long."

When Qin Yuan returned to the hotel, it was completely dark. The neon lights outside were shining, and the traffic-riding streets were still noisy, but he still maintained a depressing silence in his heart. The weapons in the basement were always hovering in his mind, like a heavy shackle, tying his thinking. Chu Liang took him into the back of that gray world, showing him not only a simple black market transaction, but a complex international crime network. Weapons, drugs, intelligence - every transaction was soaked in blood and price.

After getting off the car, he quickly walked to the hotel lobby, knowing in his heart that the next decision would affect everything. Although he had enough reason to arrest Chu Liang, he knew that simply attacking Chu Liang was just superficial skill, and destroying the huge network behind it was the fundamental reason.

When they walked into the room, Yue Ming and Duan Jinglin were already waiting. Yue Ming sat on the sofa, frowned, while Duan Jinglin stood by the window, as if thinking about something. Seeing Qin Yuan coming in, the two of them immediately stood up and waited for him to speak.

"Chu Liang has shown me his true face." Qin Yuan opened the way and sat on the sofa, looking at the two of them with a steady look. "That's not just a weapon transaction, but also a complex international crime network. We now have enough reasons to arrest Chu Liang, but we must destroy the entire chain."

Duan Jinglin's eyes sterned: "The whole chain? Are you saying that not only Chu Liang is alone, but there is a greater force behind it?"

"That's right." Qin Yuan's tone was unquestionable, "Chu Liang is just an intermediary, and the real core lies in the network he controls. If we simply arrest him, the subsequent transaction chain will continue to operate. We need deeper actions to catch it all in one go."

Yue Ming frowned: "Then what can we do now? Chu Liang obviously knows that we are staring at him and is very vigilant."

"We need more detailed information." Qin Yuan's eyes became firm. "We want to find the core of the entire black market network through his transaction connections. We cannot just rely on the surface of intelligence. We must approach, penetrate, and truly know every link they operate."

Duan Jinglin was silent for a while, walked to the table, and opened the notebook in his hand: "I can continue to collect Chu Liang's surrounding information, including those who have had deals with him, and the possible partners behind him."

Yue Ming nodded: "But this takes time, and our current identity does not allow us to have in-depth contact with these people, especially Chu Liang."

"You're right." Qin Yuan frowned slightly, "However, we have an entry point. The goal of this operation is not just to target Chu Liang, but to contact those core figures through him and master more information."

"How to do it in detail?" Duan Jinglin asked.

Qin Yuan pondered for a moment, his eyes lit up: "Chu Liang's party is actually a good opportunity. He mentioned today that he had a bigger business. It is better to take the opportunity to get close to him and gain an in-depth understanding of the network behind him."
