On this day, it had been ten days since the blizzard hit. Cao Bin followed Helen to bask in the sun in the Tangkou yard. Helen suddenly exclaimed: "Tom, have you asked me for leave from the newspaper?"

Cao Bin was stunned suddenly, shook his head in a panic and said, "Ah? I ignored this."

Helen curled her lips and looked very pitiful, saying, "What should I do? The newspaper system is to automatically remove the list if it takes more than a week and a half a week. Today, the deadline just passed."

Cao Bin comforted: "You are so outstanding, Kingsoft Post will definitely show you a little bit."

Helen shook her head and said, "But, I don't want to be taken care of, and I don't want the newspaper to break the system for me alone."

Cao Bin felt embarrassed and said, "Then what other solutions are there? Helen, please forgive me, I have never had any experience in working, so..."

Helen lamented: "I lost my job and lost my income. How will I live in the future?"

This question is easy to answer, Cao Bin immediately smiled and said, "I can hire you, I will hire you for double the price... Oh, no, Helen, I will hire you as my boss with all my wealth, is that okay?"

Helen opened her arms, hugged Cao Bin, and whispered in Cao Bin's ear: "Tom, actually, I deliberately delayed the absenteeism date until the tenth day. I don't want to remember it anymore. I just want to be by your side every day."

Cao Bin couldn't help but feel a ripples of emotion in his heart, and he hugged Helen tightly.

While he was slandering each other, Dong Biao, who was ignorant of the current affairs, interjected in, "Brother Bin, Helen, disturb me." After the two of them finished their hugs, Dong Biao continued: "A stranger came to the hall and called him to see you, saying that there was something important to talk to you alone."

Cao Bin frowned and asked, "Who? Where did he come from?"

Dong Biao replied: "A foreigner said he came from New York."

Cao Bin was stunned for a moment, then said to Helen: "You stay for a while, I'll come when I go." Then he said to Dong Biao: "Take him to my study."

Five minutes later, Cao Bin met the visitor in the study on the second floor. The manly and Wenjing was wearing a dark suit, a cotton windbreaker covered with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. From the appearance, he looked very much like a lawyer.

"My name is Conley, Conley Ballmer, and he is from New York." Conley stepped forward generously, shook hands with Cao Bin, and then introduced himself: "Although you don't recognize me, you must know one of my father's partners, Mr. Bill Lane."

Cao Bin was stunned and thought to himself, what kind of trick is this? If you want to avenge Bill Lane, there is no need to issue a letter of war in advance!

"Mr. Bill Lane? Yes, although I only met him once, they were not harmonious with each other. It can be said that we regarded each other as enemies." Cao Bin's tone was plain and relaxed, and he was still a little joking.

Conley felt Cao Bin's potential hostility and quickly explained: "Tom, I think you misunderstood me. The reason why I mentioned Mr. Bill Lane is that I just want to show you my true identity. Let's say that, you teamed up with Superintendent of the Karl Stockton of the Kingsoft Police Department to crack an opium case and seized two hundred tons of opium. I don't want to discuss the specific case with you. I just want to tell you that the two hundred tons of opium were bought by me."

Cao Bin's smile became easier, but the hostility between his tones became more obvious. He snorted and said, "Conley, are you showing me your abilities, are you?"

Conley smiled faintly and said, "I came to your Anliangtang alone, and I dared to come with sincerity, how dare I challenge you? Tom, you should be able to see that I am less than thirty years old, and I don't want to be buried somewhere so early by you, or a bullet penetrated your heart. I think, Tom, although you are the leader of a gang in the world, you are also a businessman, so I really want to make a deal with you, I don't know if you are interested."

Cao Bin smiled and said, "Are you interested? It depends on your transaction content. Are you right?"

Conley nodded and said, "Those two hundred tons of opium were loaded on the freight train to New York yesterday. I dare not say that the tide is done, but I do have this idea. I mean, Tom, I believe you have the ability to intercept this batch of goods. Even if the goods have already reached our hands, you still have the ability to destroy this batch of goods. But I think this is not an easy thing for you. Instead of making trouble for yourself, it is better to take it out and make a deal with me. If you let that batch of goods go, I will reveal you a secret."

Cao Bin laughed and said, "The secret you want to reveal to me should be that someone wants to kill me, right? Moreover, I can also name those people, one of them is Eston, the director of Kingsoft Police Department, right?"

Conley was shocked and said, "Do you know everything?"

In just a few short sentences, Cao Bin had already figured out Conley's intention. "You are a sensible person, Conley, you should have seen that Eston and his two military friends do not have the ability to kill me, so they are very worried that they will be implicated. And you are reluctant to give up the batch of goods, so you came up with this method, which can not only get the batch of goods, but also avoid offending me, right?"

Cao Bin's three "right" smashed Conley's confidence. But at the same time, he further strengthened his philosophy. The Tom Cao in front of him was indeed an untouchable evil star, and he could not offend him, otherwise he would fall into a state of no return.

"Tom, in the face of your replies, I can't say a word of no. Yes, I admit that you're right." Conley swallowed a mouthful of saliva subconsciously, calmed down, and plucked up some courage, and continued: "I was smart enough to be self-righteous, and I underestimated you. I originally thought I could reach a deal with you, but I didn't expect that I was not qualified to trade with you. Tom, tell me, if you don't agree with me to acquire that batch of goods, I will definitely find a way to convince my father to cancel the deal with Eston and others."

Cao Bin stared at Kang Li with a smile until he showed uneasiness when he stared at him, and then said: "You are wrong, Kang Li, you are qualified to reach a deal with me."

Conley said in a daze: "I'm qualified? Tom, I heard it right?"

Cao Bin smiled and said, "Of course you heard it right, but before I offer the transaction conditions, you must inform me of the truth. Eston and others only care about selling the goods and collecting money. Although they really want to kill me, it is difficult to make up their minds. Conley, as the buyer of this batch of goods, you have nothing to do with Eston and others wanting to kill me, but you took the initiative to find me and were eager to get rid of the relationship. This only shows that you or your father and Eston and his gang should have reached a certain consensus. If you are willing to tell the truth, I will consider reaching a deal with you. If you don't, it's easy, go wherever you go."

There is no turning back arrow when the bow is drawn.

When I reached this point, I could only continue walking with my head twisted and give up halfway, and I would inevitably be implicated.

"Okay, then I'll tell you everything I know." Kang Li briefly told Cao Bin the whole process and finally said: "Although I delayed the conditional transaction, I'm not sure whether my father had crossed me and reached an agreement with them. If my concern exists, I think that the batch of goods has almost arrived in New York, which means that in the next few days, the conditional transaction will start at any time."

Judging from the expression, Conley has no trace of deceiving and lying. From a reasonable point of view, Conley has no possibility of deceiving and lying. Logically, what Conley says can withstand scrutiny.

Therefore, Cao Bin chose to believe.

"Thank you for telling me the truth. If your father could get rid of me through Eston and the others, he would definitely get a huge profit. This money would cost him a great value for money." Cao Bin smiled faintly and turned the subject: "But if he failed, it would be a pity that he could not even enjoy the benefits brought by the 200 tons of goods. However, fortunately, he has a son like you who can keep a clear mind."

Conley said: "Tom, I beg you to give me some time, and I will fight to convince my dad to cancel the deal with the shortest time."

Cao Bin shook his head slowly and said, "No need! The conditions offered by your father are not low. One ounce and six cents, two hundred tons are 420,000 US dollars. This huge sum will stimulate Eston and others to be anxious to attack me, which is beneficial to me. Conley, you know that our Anliangtang never touches the opium business, so the two hundred tons of opium is not worth the penny to me. Since you like and need it, you can take it, but there is a condition that it cannot be sold in Chinatown. As for your father, for your sake, I promise you that you will not cause trouble for him."

Conley was half happy and half skeptical, saying, "Then what do you need me to do?"

Cao Bin said: "Pretending to know nothing, nothing happened, return to New York as soon as possible, so as not to stay in Kingsoft and be implicated."

Conley didn't believe that such a good thing would happen, and his face was filled with suspicion, saying, "Tom, I shouldn't have doubted your promise, but I always feel that this is not a fair deal. I got too much and paid too little, so that I..." Conley paused for a moment, shook his head, and said the last few words: "I always feel that you are teasing me."

Cao Bin nodded, showed a gratified smile, and said, "No, Conley, in fact, you have made a lot of efforts. As an old subordinate of Bill Lane, you dare to step into my Anliang Hall alone. You have given your courage. When facing my questions and requests, you have honestly answered and answered truthfully. You have given your honesty, especially the last point, you can consider the safety of your father. This touched me very much. Kangley, in my motherland, there is a saying that filial piety is the first priority. A person can respect his parents. If you would rather be wronged by yourself for the safety of his parents, it means that you, Conley, is not a bad person. So, I said you have paid a lot. This transaction is completely fair to you."

Conley was moved and said, "Tom, thank you, but I think if I can do more for you, my mind will be more balanced."

Cao Bin smiled and said, "I said that my only request for you is to leave Kingsoft as soon as possible."

Conley said: "I will, Tom, when they get the payment, I will leave Kingsoft. I will definitely find a way to notify you before I leave."

Cao Bin smiled and said, "I am very pleased that you have this idea, but you don't have to work hard. When you leave Jinshan, I will definitely know, unless you turn into a bird and fly away from the sky."

Conley was stunned again, but said nothing, and turned around and left the study room silently.

In just a moment, Dong Biao flashed in.

"Are you going to accompany your sister-in-law first? Or..." Dong Biao remembered that he forgot to knock on the door, and quickly stepped out, and after a moment of meaning, he entered the room again. "Or let's talk first?"

Cao Bin said: "Have you heard it clearly?"

Dong Biao nodded, then went to pour a glass of wine first, and said, "Sister-in-law is still waiting for you outside!"

Cao Bin smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think I will leave you a message? Pour me a cup, and my throat is smoking."

Dong Biao poured another cup, brought it to Cao Bin, and sat opposite Cao Bin, saying, "Four days ago at noon, this Conley found Stand. Stand then took him to Cooper's barracks. Half an hour later, Eston arrived. At about 8:10 that night, Eston and Stand drove away from Cooper's barracks, but Conley stayed. The next day, Eston played a trick, took Conley into the police station, and then bailed him out. In the next three days, Eston took Conley around and played around. Our people always followed, but found no clues. But this morning, Conley deliberately got separated from Eston, and the purpose was to come and meet you."

Cao Bin took a small sip of wine and said, "The most important thing now is the man wearing a black leather jacket. Is there any news about him?"

Dong Biao shook his head and said, "No, our people can't enter the military port where Stander is located and Cooper's military camp. They can only monitor from the outside. For so many days, the black leather jacket seemed to have evaporated and he was never seen."

Cao Bin said: "This person is very important. The more you can't find it, the more it means that he should be an ace in the hands of Eston and his gang."

Dong Biao said: "I am sending more brothers to strengthen surveillance of the military port and Cooper's military camp."

Cao Bin put down his wine glass, lit a cigar, and said, "No, what we should do now is to withdraw all the brothers. The information provided by Conley is still accurate. It seems that the convoy transported from the Cooper military camp six days ago was obviously the same batch of goods. If nothing unexpected happens, today and tomorrow will be the time for them to deliver and inspect the goods. At this time, if they monitor them again, they will be afraid of alarming the enemy."

Smelling the smell of a cigar, Dong Biao became addicted to smoking, but after touching his whole body, he couldn't take out the cigarette box. He picked up the wine glass in disappointment and took a sip.
