Chapter 705: Dangerous Items
What’s it like to have a black gun barrel pointed at you?
Qiao Gaoshan now knows deeply, as cold sweat ran down his forehead instantly.
He had no doubt that the gun in Lin Tian’s hand was real and could blow his head to pieces.
Qiao Gaoshan tensed his body and waved his hands repeatedly: "You... you put the gun down first, I haven’t finished speaking..."
Lin Tian looked into his eyes, and besides panic, there was also a strong will to survive, so he slowly lowered the gun. Actually, he didn’t really intend to shoot; this wasn’t some remote wilderness. Shooting someone here, even Chen Moxiang couldn’t protect him.
"Speak quickly!"
Qiao Gaoshan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and then said, "I admit, last time I had your girlfriend kidnapped because I wanted you to treat my son. I didn’t expect them to go back on their word in the end. So not only are you looking for them, but I am too."
"I haven’t found them recently, instead, Bai Wuchang came to me."
"He came to you?" Lin Tian looked Qiao Gaoshan up and down, really couldn’t figure out what Bai Wuchang wanted with him.
Qiao Gaoshan managed a wry smile, "My company has a trade company exporting to Sakula Country. He plans to have me transport some contraband. The profit he offered was so much, enough to make me take the risk."
Lin Tian had an understanding look. Now that Du Dahai was eliminated, it was normal for them to look for another partner.
As for Qiao Gaoshan, he was a suitable candidate. They had cooperated once, although not perfectly, but under the influence of profit, clearing old grudges was quite normal.
Marx had quoted in "Capital": A capitalist with a 50% profit would risk much; with a 100% profit, they would trample all laws; with a 300% profit, they would dare face the gallows.
After all, they were common enemies, Lin Tian. It was easy to reach an agreement.
Bai Wuchang probably didn’t expect Lin Tian to have one up his sleeve with Qiao Jiang, forcing Qiao Gaoshan to yield.
Qiao Gaoshan also noticed Lin Tian’s expression and said in a heavy tone, "There are many reasons why I don’t want to cooperate with them. A very important one is that they are transporting something very dangerous this time."
Lin Tian raised an eyebrow, "Explain clearly!"
"It’s a virus!"
"A virus?" Lin Tian’s pupils suddenly contracted, "What virus, explain clearly!"
"I don’t know exactly what virus it is, but it’s deadly. If this thing enters our country, it will definitely cause big trouble. I may not be a good person, but I still have a conscience."
Lin Tian’s expression grew more serious. A virus from Sakula Country couldn’t be anything ordinary, could it?
"What about those viruses?" Lin Tian now had no mind to care about Bai Wuchang. Compared to the virus, Bai Wuchang was insignificant.
"Tonight, they have already passed customs, and it will arrive at Hongcai Port at four in the morning. Bai Wuchang considers this matter very important, so he will be there too."
"Is it in large quantities?" Lin Tian asked.
"Quite a lot, ten containers in total. If the virus is serious, then..."
Qiao Gaoshan didn’t finish his sentence, but Lin Tian knew that the consequences would be unimaginable!
Lin Tian didn’t ask further but lowered his head in contemplation. This matter was far beyond his control; even if he called Wu Yong and Tian Ming, they might not be able to intercept it. This matter perhaps required Chen Moxiang’s intervention.
Upon thinking this, Lin Tian stood up and started walking out.
"Lin Tian... where are you going..." Qiao Gaoshan hurriedly asked.
Lin Tian turned his head, "Of course, to solve the problem. Why, do you still want me to stay for dinner?"
"No, no..." Qiao Gaoshan said with a slightly awkward expression, "I know those in Sakula Country, those people like Bai Wuchang, are ruthless. If this leaks, they will first think of me and will certainly retaliate. Do you... have a place for me to seek refuge?"
Qiao Gaoshan was a businessman, not a hero, and only had ordinary employees under him. The kidnapping of Liou Qingcheng was done out of desperation, so facing Bai Wuchang and those ruthless people, he had no means of self-preservation.
"Ha, you chose to deal with such people, now you’re caught in a dilemma, right?" Lin Tian sneered.
Qiao Gaoshan looked embarrassed and did not argue. Actually, he didn’t want to help transport those things, but those people threatened his and his family’s lives, so Qiao Gaoshan had no choice but to compromise.
Now, he’s handing the problem over to Lin Tian, looking for a place to save his life.
He played his trump card well.
How could Lin Tian not know his intentions? He immediately laughed, "You also want protection, but you know those people from Sakula Country are ferocious. I have no obligation to protect you for free."
"Fair enough, just name your price. How much do you want?"
"I don’t want much, just three million a month," Lin Tian laughed.
"How much? Three million!"
Qiao Gaoshan’s eyes widened. Three million wasn’t much to him, but he didn’t want to be taken as a fool.
Keep in mind, the best bodyguards on the market now cost a little over twenty thousand a month. Lin Tian was asking over ten times that. Wasn’t he treating him as a fool?
Lin Tian’s smile didn’t fade, "You’re embarrassed to complain it’s too much? The deposit Bai Wuchang gave you for transporting those goods isn’t less than three million, right? You’ve taken that money for nothing, and it’s your entire family going into hiding. You’re still embarrassed to complain?"
Qiao Gaoshan’s face flushed an alternating blue and white. How could the deposit be considered taken for nothing? All the way from Sakula Country, it had to pass through so many checkpoints. If there was even a slight oversight, his life would be over, and not even his company established over decades would be left.
"If you think it’s too much, you can find someone else. I have no objections." Lin Tian said and walked away without looking back.
Qiao Gaoshan gritted his teeth, catching up and shouting, "I’ll pay! I’ll pay, isn’t that enough!"
Lin Tian’s lips curled up slightly, "Deal, you stay here for a while, and someone will come to take you to a safe place."
The safe place Lin Tian mentioned was naturally inside the Black Gold Security Company.
That was Black Gold’s headquarters, quite secure inside. Of course, it couldn’t compare to the military, they had planes, tanks, and artillery. Even with his identity in the Security Management Institute, Lin Tian wouldn’t dare mess with those casually.
As for Qiao Gaoshan, it might be the first order the company took since its establishment.
Most members were still in training, not deployed yet, so naturally, the orders taken were few.
