Chapter 765: Chapter 765: Lure the Snake out of Its Hole

Lin Tao frowned slightly and ventured, "Young Master Ye, five million in goods is not a small sum! May I be so bold as to ask, what do you need so much merchandise for?"

"What else would I want it for? Obviously, for my own use!"

Ye Xuan gave him a glance, fully aware of what the other was thinking, and said with amused smile, "What, should I be selling it to someone else? Do you think I look like someone who lacks money?"

"Er... of course not!"

Having his thoughts exposed, Lin Tao felt slightly embarrassed, coughing quickly to cover up, "But Young Master Ye, you don’t need to buy five million worth for your own use, right? Isn’t that a bit too much?"

"That’s none of your concern! Whether I use it up or not is my business. Besides, if I buy more, don’t you make more? Or are you only satisfied if I spend just five thousand?" Ye Xuan asked flatly.

"Young Master Ye, what are you talking about? That’s not what I mean! The truth is, we have limited shipment volumes. As you know, this stuff is high-risk, and we have strict limits on the amount we can ship—only small quantities, about a hundred grams per shipment. Hiding it in the human body, any excess can not only be life-threatening but also greatly increases the risk of exposure! That’s why I’ve always been very careful, and I hope Young Master Ye can understand."

Lin Tao explained with a smile on his face, not daring to offend Ye Xuan too much.

"Manager Lin, you guys seem to have such small guts?"

Ye Xuan curled his lips and said with disdain,

"Want to get rich in this business without taking risks? Where in the world is there such a good thing! Fortune comes with danger. If you’re in this line, you’ve got to have the guts to take the risks. Otherwise, what are you even eating?"

"This..."

Lin Tao let out a wry smile, "Young Master Ye, of course, I understand your reasoning! But business isn’t just about short-term profit; it’s more important to have a sustainable operation! You’ve got to have long-term goals and principles, right?"

Ye Xuan frowned and waved his hand impatiently, "I’m here to buy, not to be preached at! I’m not in the mood for this chatter. Just tell me, are you selling or not? Give me a straight answer!"

Still smiling, Lin Tao replied vaguely, "Young Master Ye, we naturally want to do business when it comes knocking! But... your request for five million worth of goods is really a bit too much for us to risk!"

At that, he shifted his tone and offered, "How about this, why not purchase a little less, say fifty thousand? We can get it for you right away. And that amount would suffice for your enjoyment for some time. Once you run out, you could come back for more, and that wouldn’t interfere with your enjoyment!"

Watching the ever-smiling Lin Tao in front of him, Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

This was truly a cunning old fox, impervious to both soft and hard tactics! It seemed he still hadn’t earned his trust; a transaction of five million was still too risky for him to discuss lightly.

An idea sprouted in his mind, and Ye Xuan put on an appearance of embarrassed annoyance, stood up suddenly, and exclaimed, "Manager Lin, you’ve been beating around the bush for so long now; clearly, you don’t trust me, do you? I’m telling you, I’m not afraid to buy! What the hell are you afraid of? Today you have to sell, whether you like it or not. Are you worried I can’t pay? I’ve got plenty of money! Or are you scared I’m an undercover cop, here to bust you?"

Saying so, he pulled a sleek black card from his wallet and slapped it onto Lin Tao’s plump face, saying arrogantly,

"Open your eyes and look clearly, do you recognize what this card is? If you have even a bit of discernment, you should know the caliber of person I am! Do I need to stoop to dealing with your kind? Humph, it’s not that I look down on you, but if I wanted to mess with you, I would just need to lift a finger, and I could crush all of you ants. Why would I go to such great lengths to entrap you?"

Struck by the black card on his face, Lin Tao was stunned!

What was Young Master Ye playing at, erupting into anger so suddenly?

His expression darkened slightly; no matter how good his patience was, being hit in the face with a card was an intolerably rude gesture, and he was certainly burning with anger!

Yet, as his gaze swept to the black card now lying on the sofa, his pupils shrank in disbelief.

He hurriedly picked up the black card, examined it closely, and as he looked, his heart pounded with shock, his eyes looking at Ye Xuan with newfound respect.

This was a black card from the Beihai Country Peanut Bank!

No wonder this guy was so arrogant, daring to disrespect him to his face. It turned out he held a Peanut Bank black card.

This wasn’t something just anyone could possess; no amount of money would do—you needed sufficient status and identity! This kid really did have the capital to be proud.

And seeing this card gradually allayed Lin Tao’s concerns. It seemed Ye Xuan truly wasn’t there to mess with them—someone of his standing wouldn’t deign to touch them. And even if he wanted to cause trouble, he wouldn’t use such a petty method.

Thus, they could confidently deal with Ye Xuan without fear of any tricks!

They just needed to be cautious and maintain secrecy during the process to avoid any issues.

With this in mind, Lin Tao immediately changed his tone and laughed, "Haha! Young Master Ye, please don’t misunderstand; I have no doubts about you. It’s just that in matters like this, we must be ultra-cautious. With your status, you are certainly worthy of our utmost trust. I hope you can forgive my previous apprehension!"

Hearing Lin Tao say this, Ye Xuan’s expression eased somewhat, but the look of superiority grew more intense as he glanced at him and asked,

"So you mean to say, you’re willing to make a deal with me?"

"Of course! We’ve always been willing to maintain a cooperative trade with Young Master Ye."

Lin Tao was earnest, handing the black card back to Ye Xuan, "However, I’m not authorized to approve such a large order by myself! I will have to consult with the boss, but rest assured, Young Master Ye, Jade Hall holds you in the highest regard, and I believe the boss will agree."

"Alright then, hurry up and consult with your boss. Don’t waste any more of my time!" Ye Xuan said indifferently.

Lin Tao nodded immediately, "Understood! I’ll go right away to consult him. Please wait a moment, Young Master Ye."

After speaking, Lin Tao didn’t dare delay and quickly left the private room to report to his boss.

Once Lin Tao had left, Sun Xiaomeng tugged at Ye Xuan’s sleeve, asking anxiously, "Ye Xuan, what’s really going on? Why would you spend five million on these things? Haven’t you gone mad?"

Ye Xuan smiled confidently, "Silly girl, you really think I’m an idiot? Isn’t it obvious I’m deceiving them? It’s called luring the snake out of its hole, letting them deliver the evidence of drug trafficking into our hands themselves. Once the fish bites, we can catch them all in one go!"
