Chapter 553: Zhang Yufei's Mission
Although the goods are relatively small, only two hundred thousand, and people won't pay much attention, once this transaction succeeds, there will be larger quantities in the future.
Then, we will be able to enter the Earth Dragon Organization to inspect the production process, providing an opportunity to infiltrate Earth Dragon and gather more information.
To completely destroy Earth Dragon, cooperation from both inside and outside is necessary, and every step must be monitored. A slight slip, and whether it's Li Jun, the informant, or Zhang Yufei, the fake merchant, they will both be in danger.
More importantly, if the Earth Dragon Organization is alerted, it will be almost impossible to infiltrate again.
Therefore, no matter what happens this time, we can't make any mistakes, or the consequences will be unimaginable.
It wasn't long before there was a knock on the door, and Zhang Yufei didn't rush to open it but cautiously moved to the side. Then the waiter from earlier said, "Miss Chen, the guest has arrived."
Zhang Yufei breathed a sigh of relief and responded, "Please come in!"
Two young men walked in; they didn't look very old. One was about Zhang Yufei's age, and the other was slightly older, appearing to be around twenty-five or twenty-six.
"Are you Miss Chen?"
The slightly older man asked, clearly the leader of this transaction, while the younger one was his assistant.
The assistant was holding a small suitcase, indicating the goods were not much, as two hundred thousand wouldn't buy much, certainly a small amount.
It was said that goods from the Earth Dragon Organization were of top quality, highly concentrated and pure.
"Yes, I am Chen Lin. You must be Boss Peng. Nice to meet you." Zhang Yufei and Li Jun were given temporary identities to avoid investigation.
"Haha, nice to meet you. Did you bring the money?"
Boss Peng has been in this business for a few years, having weathered many storms. He preferred to conclude such matters quickly to avoid detection and began straight to the point.
"Yes, I brought it. Did you bring the goods?" Zhang Yufei followed the bureau chief's instructions.
At that moment, Boss Peng gestured, and his assistant brought the small suitcase over, opened it, and revealed the goods inside after unlocking a bag.
To verify its authenticity, Zhang Yufei pinched a bit, tasted it on her tongue, and after confirming, spat it onto a tissue in her hand.
These methods were taught at the police station, used frequently in their investigations.
After verifying it was genuine, Zhang Yufei nodded in satisfaction. It wasn't about liking the goods but ensuring they were authentic to uproot Earth Dragon; otherwise, capturing fake goods would be futile.
"Swish!"
Zhang Yufei opened the suitcase she brought, which contained two hundred thousand in cash.
Their transactions are mostly in cash to prevent easy tracking via online or bank methods, which would allow police to cast their nets and capture them.
The assistant counted the money, then nodded at Boss Peng, confirming it was real and the amount was correct. In large transactions like these, missing a few notes wouldn't matter; authenticity was key.
If a business transaction is genuine, buyers won't falsify it, as doing so would cut off their future paths. Smart businessmen wouldn't be so foolish to ruin themselves.
"Okay, the deal is done. Thank you, Miss Chen. Hope you're satisfied with this batch and contact me if you need larger quantities." After finishing the transaction, Boss Peng and his team withdrew quickly, a rule their organization followed to avoid delays after deals.
"Okay, it was a pleasure working together!"
Zhang Yufei smiled slightly and watched Boss Peng leave.
With the goods in hand, she also had to leave quickly. Though she communicated with Yunfu police, it was done with another identity and a different phone.
Her current identity is unknown to the police; if discovered, she'd still be caught.
Exiting would be easier since revealing her identity would suffice. However, this would compromise her cover, and if Earth Dragon discovered it, the plan would fail.
After Boss Peng left, Zhang Yufei breathed a deep sigh of relief. It was her first time playing such a role, and any slip-up could give her away, so she remained cautious.
After a short break, Zhang Yufei put the goods in her suitcase and walked out of the hotel openly.
The entire operation lasted less than twenty minutes, making Zhang Yufei marvel at how thorough these people were. Even if reported, by the time police responded, they would have already left.
This mission required patience, spacing transactions two or three days apart to avoid arousing suspicion.
Following Director Zhao Bing's instructions, Zhang Yufei maintained communication with the police using a different identity, while Zhao Bing kept abreast of the latest developments with Li Jun.
Honestly speaking, Zhang Yufei was worried about Li Jun. Although accomplished at the police academy, he lacked field experience for such dangerous tasks, which required caution and prudence.
Meanwhile, in the Nanhai City police department office, Zhao Bing was troubled because, just as Zhang Yufei and Li Jun's plans began, internal sources revealed that Earth Dragon had a master arriving from Black Alliance, with Earth Dragon being just a branch.
Upon receiving the news, Zhao Bing felt like crying, with Zhang Yufei and Li Jun being two of his elite officers, he never expected such complications in this mission.
The master was said to be an Ancient Martial Cultivator, but it's uncertain how skilled. However, being selected by Black Alliance specifically for this made them formidable.
Despite wanting to cry, Zhao Bing had to notify Zhang Yufei, who hadn't started the mission, hoping she'd have the chance to inform Li Jun about the master's presence and exercise caution.
"Hello, Director, what's up? Didn't you say not to contact often?" Zhang Yufei chuckled wryly, given it was her supervisor and she couldn't be too forward.
"Ah, Xiaoling, don't blame me. I was forced to. Concerned for you and Li Jun's safety, I hesitated to contact you, to avoid risking exposure." Zhao Bing sighed.
"What happened, Director?"
Zhang Yufei sensed something was wrong; otherwise, Zhao Bing wouldn't easily sigh.
