Chapter 735: He Will Come Tonight

"What martial—" Gu Ding Wen urged immediately.

From his tone, he had also noticed something was off.

"Was it a martial arts school or a sports school?"

Zhang Jiangke's voice carried confusion, as though he were struggling to recall, but soon he went on:

"I can't quite remember, never mind. No matter which school they came from, as long as they meet your conditions, that's fine."

Good enough that you can spin it… Hearing him smooth things over, Yu Dazhang's suspended heart finally settled.

This was simply asking for trouble.

He was already starting to regret testing Zhang Jiangke earlier.

Clearly, what he had thought of as a probe, Zhang Jiangke had taken at face value, and in his heart had already decided those girls were people from the Armed Police side.

Otherwise he wouldn't have blurted it out.

"Do you have photos or video?"

Gu Ding Wen didn't press further—obviously his full attention was on the girls:

"Send them to me, I need to take a look first."

Yu Dazhang had long anticipated he would make this request, so yesterday he had already found a warehouse and taken photos of the seven girls inside.

He had also imitated Zhang Qian's method, installing surveillance both inside and outside that warehouse, all so that during the handover the other party wouldn't spot any flaw.

"I actually did have them take photos, hold on a moment."

A while passed.

Gu Ding Wen's voice came through:

"Very good, you did very well, they are exactly the people I need."

His voice carried satisfaction and excitement:

"Give me the address, I'll have someone go pick them up right now."

I don't think I told him the address… It was only now that Yu Dazhang remembered—the warehouse address hadn't been told to Zhang Jiangke.

But he wasn't worried; Zhang Jiangke had plenty of ways to fob it off, that old fox was plenty cunning, more than enough to handle a Gu Ding Wen.

"Before that, I think we should talk about the money first."

Zhang Jiangke's voice grew heavy:

"What you asked for, I've done it. Now it's your turn to keep your promise—before handing over the people, you have to pay first."

He then explained:

"Old Gu, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just that the amount this time is too large, and you promised before that this transaction would be paid in full, no holding back the balance."

Bringing up money at this moment was perfectly timed, fit Zhang Jiangke's usual style, and conveniently pushed the handover back a bit.

"If I just give you the full amount, would you still hand over the people?"

Gu Ding Wen still had his guard up, and said in a haggling tone:

"I'll pay you half as a deposit first. Once the people are picked up, I'll give you the remaining half right away."

Without realizing it, he had already fallen in with Zhang Jiangke's rhythm.

"No, half is too little."

While making his demand, Zhang Jiangke smoothly laid out the handover steps:

"Pay seventy percent first. Once I receive the money, I'll send you the address right away. After you pick up the people, you pay the other thirty percent."

"Old Gu, I'm being very sincere here. Don't forget, you still haven't paid the balance from last time."

Apparently it was that last line that did the trick—Gu Ding Wen didn't hesitate any longer and agreed on the spot:

"Fine, that's settled then. I'll arrange the transfer right now, it should arrive in about ten minutes. When it does, just send the address to QQ."

After saying this, he hung up the video call directly.

Yu Dazhang glanced at the laptop on the desk; the video window on the screen had already closed.

He took off his headset and asked the technician at the computer:

"Has the IP address changed?"

"No." That police officer shook his head:

"The location hasn't changed, still Building 3 in that residential compound."

Careful enough… Yu Dazhang had thought Gu Ding Wen would let his guard down on the second video call, but he had still used a proxy IP.

Someone once said online that anyone who has been abroad comes back noticeably more shrewd.

That can't be generalized either—it can only be said that traveling more broadens one's horizons and experience, and naturally makes one's thinking more active.

Gu Ding Wen was a case in point.
