Chapter 360: Chapter 237 Who the Hell Did I Offend? (Seeking Subscriptions)_2
She had a full grasp of the situation with the Haas Armed Forces, which is why she dared to ask for 10 million US dollars per rocket launcher, squeezing Haas.
But!
She had not anticipated that she would be the one squeezed by Leo.
"Yu, you must understand now!"
Lucas said gravely, his voice echoing in the office, "If Leo indeed found a second weapons supplier, it means we are facing a new competitor!"
Perhaps Lucas's words had some effect.
Yu Qin lifted her head, "The second arms dealer... Could this supplier offer a low price of 4 million?"
After a brief silence, Lucas responded, "The fact that Haas Armed Forces are not in a hurry to buy our weapons has already spoken volumes."
Yu Qin leaned back, slumping into her chair, her brows tightly furrowed.
She was thinking.
— Thinking about where exactly things went wrong.
— Thinking about where else could be another group capable of supplying Haas with a vast quantity of military weapons.
But there were no answers to these two questions.
"Go check where Leo has been," Yu Qin sighed deeply and turned to speak to Lucas.
Lucas and she were in the same boat. He nodded, and immediately arranged for the most professional personnel to start tracking all of Leo's movements these past days.
From the day Yu Qin started negotiations with Leo until now, almost ten days, it was undoubtedly a colossal task for the search.
This night.
Yu Qin couldn't sleep.
Nor could Lucas get any rest.
On one hand, he had to find a new 'life-saving' patent for Yu Keke.
On the other, they were waiting for the search results, the whereabouts of Leo.
The night began to fade.
As dawn broke, the light, soft and feeble, entered the office. Looking through the window at this early hour, it was the time when darkness and light intertwined.
A gust of autumn wind blew into the room.
The curtains fluttered, brushing Yu Qin's hair. The chill of early autumn crept into the office, making her shiver and breakout in goosebumps.
Having stayed up all night, her eyes were red with tiny blood vessels creeping around her eyeballs.
'Tap tap tap.'
The sound of leather shoes on the floor reached Yu Qin's ears. She looked up to see Lucas quickly entering the office and asked, "Any news?"
Lucas's expression was odd as he placed a stack of documents in front of Yu Qin, "My technical staff are not there just to eat their paychecks."
Yu Qin snorted lightly.
Then, she picked up the documents to review.
The files detailed the whereabouts of Leo and his party in these ten days.
"He secretly switched planes three times in Southeast Asia, then flew to Han River?" Yu Qin's brows furrowed.
She didn't understand what Leo was doing in Han River.
Lucas nodded, pointing to the document, "Our people found that he flew to Han River incognito. We are currently locating the exact place. After he got to Han River, we lost track of him."
"Did you find out why he flew to Han River, whether he arranged to meet with a partner there for discussion?" Yu Qin's brows were tightly knitted together, full of various doubts.
"We haven't found any specific clues yet."
Lucas replied.
"Is he still in Han River now?" Yu Qin's gaze fell on the document, which indicated that after Leo flew to Han River, there was no further information.
Lucas pondered for a moment, "After entering Han River, there has been no trace of his actions; he should still be there."
Yu Qin took a deep breath.
She and Lucas were both very familiar with Han River.
Especially Anling City in Han River Province, where their accomplice, Yu Keke, was still in the police station.
That's right, there was also that web novel writer.
—Lin Chuan.
He was also in Anling, Han River.
Hmm?
Yu Qin's expression suddenly changed as she thought of an unlikely possibility.
In the 'Weapons Innovation Design Competition,' Lin Chuan boasted he had designed a Remote Box-type Rocket Launcher with a range of 600 kilometers. And then, Leo went to Han River?
"These two, they couldn't possibly have run into each other, could they?"
At once!
Yu Qin shook her head again, discarding the impractical thought from her mind.
How could that be?! While Lin Chuan had some abilities, Leo needed weapons. How could Lin Chuan possibly provide what the Haas Armed Forces wanted?
After a night of cool-headedness, Yu Qin had still regained her rationality and shifted her thinking: "We must have overlooked something. Why did Leo suddenly make a transit in Southeast Asia, then run off to Han River?"
Lucas fell into thought, muttering to himself, "Indeed, they had just had their initial negotiation with us. Logically, they should have stayed put."
"Check!"
Yu Qin immediately made up her mind, "Check where he went on the day he finished negotiating with us."
Lucas nodded, agreeing with Yu Qin's decision.
Then, at once, they gathered professional technicians again to continue tracking Leo's whereabouts.
Just as Lucas said.
Though these technicians acted like Teletubbies in the face of Lin Chuan, for now, they were as strong as Superman.
Merely an hour later, they unearthed the result.
—— The day after the negotiation ended, Leo went to a strange address, then started his secret transit to Han River.
"What was he doing there?"
Lucas spoke with puzzlement.
"Let's go check it out first, bring more hands just in case," Yu Qin paused, "And bring the 'tools'."
Lucas nodded.
At once, the two hurried out of the office, hopped into the prepared car, and headed to the address Leo had visited.
That address was about an hour's drive from the Asia-Pacific Branch.
Two MPVs sped along the road, passing through the early morning rush hour streets, and following the navigation, they arrived at their destination close to nine o'clock.
It was an ordinary urban area with old-style buildings.
The bright sunlight sprinkled down, coating the mottled exterior walls with a thin layer of gold. Occasional moss could be seen between the bricks and the streets were somewhat narrow, looking quite unremarkable.
Yu Qin and Lucas got out of the car.
Someone holding the address led the way for them.
They crossed the narrow streets, stepped on a few patches of moss, and finally climbed a staircase.
This staircase was blocked by an iron gate.
"This must be where Leo and the others came," the guide looked at Yu Qin and Lucas.
Lucas, taking the lead, gave a slight nod and then signaled to the people behind him with a glance.
Being in the dark business, Morgan Group's personnel were, of course, not to be trifled with; a burly man behind understood, grabbed a "tool", and knocked at the iron door.
'Bang bang bang'.
The noise immediately resonated through the stairwell, startling everyone inside.
Brother Hao and Hou, along with a group of Fries Novel's pirated workers, had just started work not long when they heard someone smashing the door, causing their brows to furrow.
"It couldn't be those people from last time, could it?"
With a sour face, the thin and monkey-like Hou said to Brother Hao, "I told you we should have moved places!"
Hearing it might be the same people from last time, Brother Hao's legs began to tremble, "Don't scare yourself, I've already applied for Sailing Novel's authorization. How could those people come back again?"
Bang!
The sound of the door breaking was especially harsh, making Hou shiver in fear.
In no time.
A group of people barged in!
At the forefront were Lucas and Yu Qin, side by side, with Lucas's face cold and his eyes as sharp as an eagle, while Yu Qin was clad in black, exuding chilliness.
Behind them, followed a dozen men in suits, tall and burly with solemn faces, clearly well-trained and tough cookies.
The staff inside had never seen such a scene and immediately panicked, shrinking to the side.
Hou was even worse.
Once bitten, twice shy, his legs were trembling and he hid behind Brother Hao.
Brother Hao watched this ill-intentioned group, his lips twitching non-stop, his heart overrun with terror, silently lamenting.
——Who the hell did I provoke?
