Chapter 499: Restart

ct work. After the backup power kicked in, the lights were restored. An hour later, repair personnel arrived to fix the issue, restoring normal power supply within half an hour. This was just a minor...Tong Wanwan listened to the busy tone on the other end of the phone, momentarily stunned. She felt that something had gone beyond her expectations.

She immediately went to her frequently frequented restaurant and sent out the news about the messenger's death, then returned home to await orders.

Tong Wanwan didn't know that everything she did was being watched, including that restaurant.

In a secret interrogation room, Wan Liang interrogated a messenger, hoping to gain more information to help Ripples.

Ripples waited a week, the other phone never rang, so she just let it go and kept Main Street on high alert.

Not long after True Cloud was buried under the haze, ripples received a call from Felix.

"Yun, how are you doing lately"

"Mr. Felix, thanks to you, I am well."

"How was the last batch"

"Not bad, found a good Middle Eastern buyer, he's for personal use so it won't flood the market. This is also a test of mine, and the result is much better than I expected."

Ripple picked up the speaker and answered Felix's call.

"As long as you're happy! I have a batch of goods here, they were decommissioned by the French military, and I got them at a bargain. Would you be interested"

"Do you have any heavy weapons"

"Yes."

"Toward the empty, or toward the land"

"Yes, all of them."

"That's definitely tempting, the profit margin must be high. There should be a lot of European buyers, right"

Ripple tentatively asked, she didn't believe in things falling from the sky.

"Cloud, have I ever told you that you are the smartest Eastern woman"

Felix complimented him.

"I just heard, thank you for the compliment. Just say what you want!"

I swallowed this batch of goods, which offended some of my peers. So they joined forces to block the sea routes. My cargo ship can't leave port. This shipment can only be transported by land or air, which increases both cost and risk. Therefore, I urgently need a reliable ally.

"At the same time, to avoid the European market and not completely anger them, I thought of you. If this batch of goods enters the Southeast Asian market, you can make money and gain market share, a win-win situation. What do you think"

The lion, after hearing this, was just about to translate for Ripples when she replied in fluent French.

"Philip, your Chinese is excellent, and you're always thinking ahead. Please send me the detailed information on this batch of weaponry. I need to make an assessment. While what you say is enticing, I am a businessman and must weigh the pros and cons."

"Yun, you can speak F language! It seems Lion exposed himself a long time ago."

He taught him well.

"Haha! It seems like our communication will be much smoother from now on. I'll send you the information shortly, and give you three days to consider it. I'm looking forward to your good news."

"Okay."

Shortly after the phone call ended, Felix's message arrived on Mara's computer.

"You will relay the message to your superiors and see if there's anything the military urgently needs, and then decide whether to make the deal. Also, leverage your contacts in Europe to verify if Felix is telling the truth."

The ripple spoke directly to the lion.

"Well, I know what to do."

Three days later, after all the messages were compiled, Ripple called Felix:

"Mr. Felix, I am very interested in this shipment of arms."

"Yun, you always know how to seize the moment. This decision is definitely the right one."

After blowing sunshine up, Felix entered the bargaining stage.

After communication between the two parties, the first installment was transferred into Felix's account the next day. Both parties reached an agreement and Ripple decided to personally go to France to bring back the goods.

"Walk on land"

Gong Fan asked.

"Air freight! It's too long by land, the risk is too high, and the chances of being intercepted are too high."

The ripples responded directly.

"The cost is a bit high."

The road whispered.

"Road, you really think you'll make money this time It'd be great if we didn't lose any."

Ripple smiled and said.

"The road, you really have eyes for money! This time if it wasn't for researching the core of air-to-ground weapons, I wouldn't have taken this job."

Xuansi teased from the side.

You guys aren't looking at the financial statements, but I am.

The Yun Yi Group's legitimate business is very profitable on the surface, but it's a bit of a strain to support its underground arms dealings.

So this batch of goods, apart from what we keep for research purposes, the rest should be sold in a reasonable amount. Otherwise, it would raise Felix's suspicions. Only importing and not exporting will eventually lead him to suspect Cloud Shade's identity.

The road was filled with

a flurry of explanations.

"What Ma Lu said is correct, so I've already discussed with my professional manager about diversifying my development, focusing primarily on real estate. Some high-return investment projects will be put on hold until the third phase."

Ripple flipped through the documents in his hands, telling the few people about the development direction of the group.

He Yi also heard about Lianyi's trip to France this time and was a little worried, so he prepared to increase her guards. However, Lianyi politely declined.

"I've gotten to know these four people well and we work together quite seamlessly. For now, I don't need additional bodyguards. They're familiar with France, so I think it should be fine."

After doing her homework, Lian Yi left Huaguo with her entourage and boarded a direct flight to France.

The ripple spent fourteen days in France, and it could be said that every day was very exciting.

Felix wasn't lying, he swallowed this batch of weapons single-handedly, making his companions envious. Therefore, the arrival of Ripple's group was met with considerable hostility.

From the moment they settled into the pickup car after landing, they were met with hostile stares from those around them.

"Cloud, from now on we need to be more careful. I just ran into a few old friends."

The lion had drawn his pistol, chambered a bullet, and opened with a warning.

Maluo's fingers flew across the keyboard, frantically retrieving nearby surveillance footage. Xuansi pulled out a locally made French phone and began sending messages to contact her accomplices. Gong Fan gestured for Lianyi to check her equipment, while he himself was inspecting his own weapons.

Ripple, on the other hand, remained surprisingly calm. She said coldly:

This time, I'll be acting with you all. Everyone who dares to reach out to us will be eliminated!

This is a test, and a threat! If we can't even reach Felix's territory alive, then this shipment will be out of our reach. Don't expect Felix to help us.

Four people looked up at Lianyi, as if they had just met her today. They never realized she could be so decisive and ruthless. Before, they always thought that was Lianyi's disguise.

But the ripples only offered a smirk, and the gun in her hand was already pressed against the driver's back of the head, she asked in fluent French:

"Sir, you seem to be on the wrong path."

"Miss, Miss, please be careful."

Before the driver could finish his words, Ripples pulled the trigger, instantly harvesting the other's life.

The car was somewhat out of control. Lian Yi held the steering wheel with one hand while using the other to unbuckle their seatbelt, effortlessly pulling the person from the driver's seat and tossing them into the back. A gun fell from their waist as they were thrown.

"Xuansī, you drive!"hat the corner of their eye twitched, so he awkwardly said:"Excuse me, let me see who's calling."But when he opened the drawer, he hung up the phone directly. Lian Ri saw this and nodded to Qian Si Mi...
