For Xu Taiping, finding things was something he needed to be proficient in as a killer. A top killer would find the hidden mechanism in a very short time.

Xu Taiping looked around Xia Jiang's study and saw a picture of a red-crowned crane with its eye dug into the wall. He also found a hidden compartment.

Xu Taiping couldn't find anything in the red-crowned crane eye, so he turned his attention to the secret compartment.

The secret compartment was located right below Xia Jiang's desk.

The study room's floor was made of wood. Xu Taiping squatted down and hit the floor hard. Then, he pulled out a dagger from his waist and stabbed it into the floor.

The knife easily stabbed into the wooden floor, and Xu Taiping used his knife to cut it open.

Under the wooden floor, a secret compartment the size of a brick appeared in front of Xu Taiping.

Inside the secret compartment was a stack of documents.

Xu Taiping took out the documents and looked through them.

With this look, Xu Taiping was shocked.

This was the detailed record of Xia Jiang's arms smuggling!

From three years ago until the death of Xia Jiang, who knows how many arms were smuggled around the world through Xia Jiang's hands!

There was not only one Europe, Africa, and every week, there was an arms dealer taking the goods from Xia Jiang. Although the quantity of the goods was not large, it was sufficient to prove that Xia Jiang had a network of arms smuggling that covered the entire world!

"Could it be that his backer is someone from the military?" Xu Taiping said to himself as he held the phone. That was the only way to explain why Xia Jiang could smuggle so much ammunition out of the city, and that Mr. Li might very well be part of the military.

Of course, this was only Xu Taiping's guess. It was also possible that Mr. Li was just a middleman.

If I can contact Mr. Li, does that mean I can reconnect to this smuggling network in Xia Jiang?

If this smuggling network was opened up, then it would definitely have a great promotion for the future development of Taiya Group. Moreover, Xu Taiping could also use this to establish a connection with Xia Jiang's backer, that way, even if Taiya Group were to be handed over to Zhou Xiaoyu, they wouldn't be easily defeated.

"Why has Xia Jiang's backer never found me?" Is it because Xia Jiang died because of me? " Xu Taiping was deep in thought as he held the document in his hand.

After a long time, Xu Taiping put the documents away.

Just as Xu Taiping was about to leave, a pen on the table caught his attention.

It was a pen, and a very fine one at that.

Xu Taiping walked to the pen container.

Logically speaking, rather expensive pens would always have a special pen holder, or they would be carried around by others. It was rare to see such a pen casually placed in a pen container like this, moreover, this pen's body was a bit thick. Xu Taiping had seen this brand's pen before, and he remembered the appearance of the same pen.

Xu Taiping picked up the pen and removed the cap.

Inside was a golden tip of the pen. Xu Taiping looked at it and found that the lines on the tip were not those of a normal pen tip. They looked more like the lines on a circuit board.

Xu Taiping tried to open the pen, only to find that the pen was completely sealed off without any openings.

Suddenly, Xu Taiping thought of the oil painting with the red-crowned crane.

Xu Taiping hurried over to the front of the painting with a pen.

The red-crowned crane had pitch-black eyes. If one didn't look at it closely, it would be difficult to see that its eyes had actually been dug out. Moreover, the entire area had caved in, forming a pit of about 0.5 cm in diameter.

Xu Taiping looked at the pen holder in his hand, then looked at the red-crowned crane's eyes.

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Taiping inserted the pen holder into the red-crowned crane's eye.

Just as he finished inserting the entire pen, Xu Taiping turned the pen.

Di!

A "ding" sound suddenly sounded in the room, and then, the oil painting of the red-crowned crane in front of Xu Taiping started to dim a bit.

In the blink of an eye, the red-crowned crane disappeared along with the background. What replaced it was something that looked like a transparent lens.

Xu Taiping took two steps back as he stared at the mirror shard.

A few seconds later, the lens suddenly flickered. Following which, a masked man appeared in the lens.

"I thought you'd never switch on this switch in your life." The masked man's deep voice came through the lens.

Xu Taiping raised his hand, waving it in front of the lens, "Are you sure you're not recording this?"

"What do you think?" the masked man asked.

"Who are you?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Xia Jiang called me Mr. Li." The masked man said.

"Mr. Li?" Xu Taiping's pupils shrank, "So it's you."

"Looks like you know quite a few things." The masked man, Mr. Li, said.

"I don't know much, I only know that Xia Jiang took the weapons from you and went to the entire world to sell them. Other than that, I don't know anything." The current Xu Taiping didn't want him to look like he knew everything, because if Mr Li was interested in him, the less he knew, the more Mr Li would talk about it. Perhaps this way, Xu Taiping would be able to gain some unexpected benefits.

"I can tell you a lot of things, but only if you promise to become my representative." Mr. Li said.

"Agent? Just like Xia Jiang, right? " Xu Taiping asked.

"That's right!" Mr. Li nodded and said, "Once you become an agent, you will know a lot of things that you want to know. Of course, once you become my representative, it means that you have to continue doing what Xia Jiang did before."

"Do you want to sell arms?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Yes." Mr. Li said.

"What if I don't sell it?" Xu Taiping asked.

"If you become my agent and don't help me sell arms, then I will take everything that you have now. Perhaps you think that the Taiya Group is very strong, but in the face of the power behind me, all of this is just a joke." Mr. Li said.

"How many agents like Xia Jiang do you have?" Xu Taiping asked.

After a moment of silence, Mr. Li asked, "Why do you ask?"

"It's very simple, you guys are definitely not just Xia Jiang's representative. Otherwise, you would have come to find me a long time ago. After all, if Xia Jiang died, no one would be able to do business, right?" The reason you guys were able to keep your calm and did not look for me must be because without me, you guys would be able to sell what you want to sell. " Xu Taiping replied.

"You're smarter than Xia Jiang." Mr. Li said.

"So I've lived until now and Xia Jiang is dead." Xu Taiping said.

"You are also harder to deal with than Xia Jiang." Mr. Li said, "When I first found Xia Jiang, it was as if he had met God. To him, it was a great honor to be my representative, even if it was just a level 3 agent."

"Level three agent? I think you guys are sort of on the market. " Xu Taiping said.

"As long as you agree to become my third-degree agent, I can tell you a lot of things you want to know." Mr. Li said.

"What can I get? What do I have to pay for it? " Xu Taiping asked.

"You can get money, a huge amount of money, and you don't have to pay a lot of things, all you need to do is guard your mouth well and send the weapons I gave you around the world." Mr. Li said.

"That doesn't seem to be a difficult matter!" Xu Taiping smiled and said, "I promise you."

"My development representative doesn't have any coercion or threats. So, if you don't want to talk, you can do so. I will only treat today's meeting as if it never happened." Mr. Li said.

"I'm not the kind of person who can threaten anyone." Xu Taiping smiled as he looked at Mr. Li.

"I like your confidence." Mr. Li said.

"I also appreciate your honesty." Xu Taiping said.

"I will pass you a document in a while, that is our contract, as long as you sign the contract and press your hand seal, you will officially become my rank 3 agent. If you can do better than Xia Jiang, I have a chance to promote you to a rank 2 agent, when that time comes, you will see a completely new world." Mr. Li said.

"Then what level are you?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Me? I am a first-tier agent. " Mr. Li said.

"In other words, there's someone stronger than you?" Xu Taiping asked.

"When you become a second-tier agent, you can ask that question again." Mr. Li said, reaching out his hand and pressing on the lens a few times.

Not long after, a contract book appeared on the lens.

The content of the contract was very simple, it was that Xu Taiping had to abide by the confidentiality agreement, and had to help them sell the firearms they provided to Xu Taiping. Xu Taiping could not secretly hold back his arms, and as for the benefits of selling them, they were divided according to three to seven points: Xu Taiping would receive three, and Mr. Li would receive seven.

Such a contract would be illegal, because arms trafficking was illegal in itself.

Xu Taiping didn't know why these people wanted to make a contract like this, it was as if some of you were going to rob a bank. You signed a contract, saying that if you robbed a bank, you would split the profits according to the ratio above, and this kind of contract didn't have any binding force, even if you didn't do it according to the rules, they wouldn't be able to do anything to you.

Xu Taiping quickly signed his name and pressed his fingerprint.

"Do you think that our actions are unnecessary?" Mr. Lee asked.

"I do think so!" Xu Taiping said.

"We do business. We have our own system. The contract will ensure that after you break the contract, we can eliminate you for a reasonable reason. Simply put, it will allow us to feel better." Mr. Li said.

"So that's how it is. It seems that all of you have your own rules." Xu Taiping said.

"Rules, they are the basis for our work. Alright, since the contract has already been signed, you can ask us the questions you want to ask." Mr. Li said.

"Alright!" Xu Taiping nodded, and then asked …. Mobile users please browse and read, better reading experience.
