Chapter 387: Chapter 251 Delivery

Late autumn, early winter.

From November to December, it was just a blink of an eye.

On this day, a light fog enveloped Anling City, its urban landscape shrouded within, barely discernible. The plane trees lining the streets had lost their verdant greenery of spring and summer, now tinged with a lighter golden yellow, dotted with deep brown.

Occasionally, one or two leaves fell, twirling gently in the northern wind, landing on the sidewalks, the eaves, and the streets, with a few resting atop the Little Landlady’s Audi A8.

Lin Chuan tidied up the leaves on the car, then hurried to the airport with the Little Landlady.

For the Hass Armed Forces’ Leo had arrived.

These days marked the agreed time for weapon delivery.

For a month here.

Lin Chuan, considering the many uses for a car, and realizing neither of his exclusive drivers, the Little Landlady and Shen Qianqian, were available at any given time, had taken the time to pass his driving test.

The small matter of the driving test was no obstacle for Lin Chuan.

He passed it all in one go.

So this time, Lin Chuan sat in the driver’s seat, skillfully driving the Audi A8, speeding along the highway, and before long, they arrived at Anling Airport.

“Mr. Leo, my friend!”

Inside the airport, Lin Chuan enthusiastically greeted Leo in Arabic.

Wearing a jacket that made his tall stature appear even more robust, and with eyes sharp as an eagle’s, Leo scanned the airport. Upon hearing Lin Chuan’s voice, he immediately turned around, his face lighting up with a radiant smile:

“Mr. Lin, long time no see!”

Over the days, Lin Chuan had been maintaining communication with Leo, discussing the progress of production.

As a result, they had grown quite familiar with each other.

Upon meeting, they shook hands and clapped each other on the shoulder, exchanging smiles.

“Let’s go, the usual place.”

Lin Chuan raised his hand, gesturing for Leo to follow him in the indicated direction.

The usual place was naturally the Baoying Hotel.

It was just a throttle press from the airport to the hotel. The two chatted as they walked and in no time entered the conference room of Baoying Hotel.

Outside the conference room.

Shen Qianqian, Hu Daqiang, and others in plain clothes stood guard outside.

Leo glanced at these plainclothes individuals and immediately knew their identity was no simple matter. He laughed, “Mr. Lin, this place is becoming your secret estate.”

Lin Chuan laughed heartily, “For our cooperation, I must ensure total confidentiality!”

This was something he could absolutely guarantee.

However, Leo seemed somewhat uneasy, his expression darkening.

Lin Chuan caught this glimpse of emotion, and a sense of foreboding stirred within him.

The two entered the conference room.

Due to absolute confidentiality, the spacious conference room contained only Lin Chuan and Leo.

“Please take a seat, Mr. Leo.”

Lin Chuan pointed to a chair and then personally brewed a pot of tea for Leo—a very high-spec Da Hong Pao reserved for special receptions.

“Thank you.” Leo nodded in appreciation.

With Lin Chuan, he always felt a sense of detail-oriented respect and recognition.

Lin Chuan pulled out a chair and sat opposite Leo, smiling, “Before we deliver the weapons, Mr. Leo, is there something you’d like to discuss with me?”

Leo raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised, “Mr. Lin, you know?”

Lin Chuan shook his head, “I don’t know, but your expression as you entered told me.”

Leo didn’t immediately answer. He took a sip of the Da Hong Pao and then said, “Indeed, there is something I want to discuss with you.”

“Is it about the weapons?” Lin Chuan ventured.

“Yes.”

Leo nodded and revealed the truth, “Honestly, just three days ago, shortly before my departure, I discovered I was being targeted by a hacker.”

Lin Chuan folded his hands on the table, listening intently to Leo, his body stiffening slightly.

Then he asked, “Do you need my help?”

Leo waved his hand lightly, “It’s just a hacker, our Hass Armed Forces can handle it. However, our cooperation with you may have been compromised.”

“I see.” Lin Chuan responded, his face betraying no excess emotion.

“Aren’t you worried?” Leo asked.

Far from worried, Lin Chuan actually began to smile, which puzzled Leo.

He asked, “Mr. Lin, what are you laughing at?”

Lin Chuan raised a hand to signal pause and said with a smile, “If I’m not mistaken, the hackers targeting you are from the Morgan Group, right?”

“That’s correct,” Leo confirmed.

“They’re monitoring your specific projects, particularly our weapon transaction and the details of our order, correct?” Lin Chuan surmised.

“Absolutely right.”

Leo paused for a moment. “I hadn’t expected the Morgan Group to be so unscrupulous as to monitor me, violating the rules of our industry!”

“Mr. Leo, please calm down,” Lin Chuan urged him to stay composed, “You should know that the Morgan Group has always engaged in dark industry matters, they abide by thug culture, and in competitive processes, they hardly play by any rules.”

Leo sighed, “You make a good point, I just hope this won’t affect our cooperation.”

Lin Chuan smiled, “Their hackers monitoring some of your information is just to find out the nature of our agreement, how many weapons we delivered. Beyond that, they can’t take any substantive action that would damage our cooperation.”

“Mr. Lin, we are the closest of partners!”

Hearing this, Leo immediately stood up and took Lin Chuan’s hand.

This young arms dealer had offered significant advantages to them, and with respect to the weapons, there was no cutting corners or skimping on materials as other suppliers might do in unseen ways.

Recently.

They had sent a team of quality inspectors to conduct partial sampling. The materials and craftsmanship were all conscientious.

The more he thought about it, the more Leo felt that his cooperation with Lin Chuan was the right choice.

“Of course we are the closest of partners. We also hope our weapons can aid the Hass Armed Forces,” Lin Chuan made his position clear.

Leo deeply agreed, “Mr. Lin, rest assured, I will make everyone in the Middle East see the power of your rocket launchers, they will understand how fierce they truly are!”

Lin Chuan joked, “My ‘guns’ are always fierce.”

As men, both laughed.

Subsequently.

Lin Chuan discussed the details of the military weapon delivery with Leo.

Most weapons were to be shipped out as parts and assembled by the Hass Armed Forces’ personnel overseas.
