As long as they’re from some school and meet your criteria, that’s fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good job faking it… Yu Dazhang, hearing him cover it up, finally let out the breath he’d been holding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was asking for trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He now regretted having tested Zhang Jiangke earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, his so-called test had been taken seriously by Zhang Jiangke, who had already convinced himself those girls were from the armed police.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, he wouldn’t have blurted it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you have photos or videos?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Dingwen didn’t press further—his attention was entirely on the girls:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Send them to me. I need to see them first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dazhang had anticipated this request, so yesterday he’d already secured a warehouse and taken photos of the seven girls inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d also copied Zhang Qian’s method, installing surveillance cameras both inside and outside the warehouse, to ensure no flaws showed during the handover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I actually had them take photos—wait a moment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a short while,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Dingwen’s voice came through:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good. You did well. These are exactly the girls I need.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice carried satisfaction and excitement:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Give me the address. I’ll send someone to pick them up right now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I never told him the address… Yu Dazhang suddenly remembered—he hadn’t given Zhang Jiangke the warehouse’s location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he wasn’t worried. Zhang Jiangke had countless ways to deflect this; that old fox was cunning enough to handle Gu Dingwen easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Before that, I think we should discuss payment first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jiangke’s tone grew serious:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve done what you asked. Now it’s your turn to fulfill your promise. Before handing them over, you must pay first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old Gu, it’s not that I don’t trust you—it’s just that the sum is too large, and you yourself promised this transaction would be paid in full, no delayed balance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bringing up money now was timely, aligned with Zhang Jiangke’s usual style, and conveniently delayed the handover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I pay you the full amount upfront, will you still hand them over?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Dingwen remained cautious, replying in a haggling tone:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll pay you half as deposit. Once they’re picked up, I’ll immediately pay the remaining half.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unconsciously, he had fallen into Zhang Jiangke’s rhythm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No. Half is too little.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Zhang Jiangke made his demand, he smoothly outlined the handover procedure:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pay seventy percent first. Once I receive it, I’ll send you the address immediately. After you collect them, pay the remaining thirty percent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old Gu, I’m being very sincere. Don’t forget—you still haven’t paid me the balance from last time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed those final words did the trick. Gu Dingwen hesitated no longer and agreed outright:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, it’s settled. I’ll arrange the transfer right away—it should hit your account in ten minutes. Just send the address to my QQ then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he ended the video call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dazhang glanced at the laptop on the desk—the video window was already closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He removed his headphones and asked the technician in front of the computer:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Has the IP address changed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No,” the officer shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The location hasn’t moved. Still Building 3 in that residential complex.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too cautious… Yu Dazhang had thought Gu Dingwen would lower his guard during the second video call, but he’d still used a proxy IP.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone once said online that anyone who’s traveled abroad returns noticeably shrewder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s not universally true, but traveling does broaden one’s horizons and experience, naturally sharpening one’s thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Dingwen was proof of that.\u003C\u002Fp>",621,"2026-06-20T14:22:48.157Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","513c09c947d7fba41463f478c52d5c0def8c6602a87e7e124eb82e41e9afd13d","reborn-in-2014-i-am-the-king-of-criminal-investi-chapter-736","reborn-in-2014-i-am-the-king-of-criminal-investi-chapter-734",763,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-2014-i-am-the-king-of-criminal-investi-cover.jpg"]
