He waved his hand lightly, and the tarpaulins covering the ten military trucks behind him were lifted to reveal stacks of wooden crates.
The crates were custom-made, and Adam whispered a few words to his subordinates.
Several subordinates immediately stepped forward to open the crates and inspect the goods.
"It’s real, these are the stolen goods we lost, not a single item missing," a subordinate reported respectfully by his side.
A satisfied smile appeared on Adam’s face.
Rong Shaoze spoke up, "Tell me your account number, and I’ll transfer the money to you right away."
A man with a computer stood by his side, ready for the money transfer.
Adam provided an account number, and Rong Shaoze’s side immediately transferred two billion. Adam’s side also quickly received a notification of the deposit.
Adam’s satisfaction grew with both the goods and the money in hand; there was no need to overly offend Rong Shaoze. It was time to show some humility where it was due.
"Sect Leader Rong is truly a straightforward person. If there’s a chance in the future, I hope Sect Leader Rong can be magnanimous and consider more collaboration with us."
MD, who would want to collaborate with you!
Rong Shaoze maintained a calm demeanor, smiling lightly, "Rest assured, I, Rong Shaoze, won’t have trouble with money. As long as there’s profit, I will collaborate with anyone, no matter who they are."
His words were undoubtedly a reassurance for Adam.
This indicated that he wouldn’t seek revenge on them in the future.
But Adam was still somewhat doubtful of his words, "Is Sect Leader Rong speaking truthfully? I hope that our conflicts can end with this resolution, what do you think?"
Rong Shaoze smiled again, his dark eyes calm, revealing none of his thoughts.
"This was our fault to begin with. Now that the problem is resolved, I don’t wish to continue entanglements with you. Everyone in the underworld knows the rules, when it’s time to back off, one should back off. Too much trouble isn’t good for anyone."
Adam was now fully convinced by his words.
He laughed heartily, "Sect Leader Rong is truly suited for big endeavors, such straightforward character! I am truly fortunate to have met you."
Heh, but he disdained making his acquaintance.
Seeing Lin Xinlan shivering, he shifted his gaze and chuckled, "Now that you’ve checked the goods and received the money, it’s time to release the person, right?"
Adam shook his head slightly, "Although we’ve received the goods, I dare not release the person so easily."
"What, are you planning to go back on your word!" The smile disappeared from Rong Shaoze’s lips, replaced by a cold and sharp look in his eyes.
"Don’t misunderstand, I’m not trying to go back on my word," Adam explained immediately. "I’m just worried that Sect Leader Rong might go back on his word, so we’ll take the goods first, then release the person."
Rong Shaoze sneered coldly, his voice devoid of any warmth, "If you dare to take her away now, I’ll ensure you all end up buried here! If you don’t want to anger me, you better release her immediately, otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude! Do you think, between sacrificing a woman on my side and annihilating your entire gang on yours, who stands to lose more?"
Adam’s expression changed slightly.
He was uncertain of how much Rong Shaoze valued Lin Xinlan.
But as a man, if he had to choose, he would unhesitatingly abandon a woman for the sake of benefit.
None in the underworld were kind souls. Perhaps Rong Shaoze would truly choose to sacrifice his wife and eradicate the entire Black Hawk Gang.
After weighing his options, he proposed to take some of the goods with a portion of his men, leaving a few to guard Lin Xinlan.
As soon as they reached a safe place, they would immediately release her.
