Yu Dazhang was now particularly sensitive to the word “research.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he himself had once been a subject of research.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Later…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jiangke was about to continue when Yu Dazhang suddenly interrupted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait a moment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Zhang Jiangke across from him, thought for a moment, and asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did that old Gu say what kind of research he was doing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Research came in many forms—medicine, finance, military, and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were just broad categories; if you broke them down further, the possibilities were endless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So you couldn’t just guess the answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He didn’t say.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jiangke shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Usually, if the other party doesn’t volunteer the information, I don’t ask—and even if I did, it wouldn’t help. Old Gu clearly had strong opinions; if he didn’t want to tell you something, asking was pointless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected… Yu Dazhang hadn’t really expected much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You couldn’t trust any of these people—not even their own families knew their true backgrounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dazhang looked at him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What happened next?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caught off guard by the interruption, Zhang Jiangke’s train of thought was jumbled. He steadied himself, thought for a moment, then spoke slowly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After he rescued me, he told me the money used to save me actually came from someone else—that person wanted to make a deal with me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Later, I had a voice call with that person and discussed potential cooperation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused briefly, organized his thoughts, then said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After some discussion, I felt the deal was beneficial to me, so I ultimately agreed to their terms.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him skip over the details of the cooperation, Yu Dazhang frowned:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What exactly did you discuss? I told you to focus on the key points, not ignore them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nature of Zhang Jiangke’s cooperation with the other party was the crux of this conversation, yet he’d summed it up in one sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He might have done it intentionally—but Yu Dazhang wouldn’t let this detail slip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aren’t you already aware of it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jiangke shot back, then explained:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He pays, I provide people—if I agree to cooperate, he wipes out my gambling debt.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At first, I hesitated, because returning to China carried huge risks—domestic authorities were cracking down hard on human trafficking cases.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, then his face suddenly twisted with greed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But when he mentioned the price, I agreed right away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“High risk? Doesn’t matter—as long as the price is right, it’s fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Total distributor… Looking at this smug trafficker before him, Yu Dazhang unconsciously clenched his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What price did they offer you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he despised him, he still had to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For women aged eighteen to thirty-five, as long as they were healthy and free of any illness, each person was worth two hundred thousand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if waiting for this question, Zhang Jiangke answered sharply:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I even asked if people with disabilities would qualify—they said yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Meaning, as long as the body was functional, disabilities, intellectual deficiencies, or facial deformities were all acceptable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused briefly, then added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That widened the pool enormously and made the task much easier.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Most importantly, if the quality was high—say, fully limbed, symmetrical features, good physical condition—the price could reach up to three hundred thousand per person.”\u003C\u002Fp>",539,"2026-06-20T14:22:48.157Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","fa79b2ba584da5933f987cb44b72a17ea990e4bbfac70d5221eb38021c9f5958","reborn-in-2014-i-am-the-king-of-criminal-investi-chapter-713","reborn-in-2014-i-am-the-king-of-criminal-investi-chapter-711",763,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-2014-i-am-the-king-of-criminal-investi-cover.jpg"]
