Looking at the wolfhound's face full of pain, Lin Tian smiled and asked, "You're Du Dahai's man, aren't you?"
The wolfhound was taken aback, "How… how do you know?"
He was truly shocked. He hadn't expected that his connection with Du Dahai was known by so few people, and every time it was single-line contact to avoid implicating Du Dahai in the dealings of devices and contraband.
How did Lin Tian know?
Lin Tian smiled and didn't answer, of course he wouldn't tell the wolfhound that Xu Ning'an inadvertently heard it while being tied up.
"Third question, where do you buy these devices from, and then who do you sell them to?" Lin Tian asked while sitting on the chair, legs crossed.
The wolfhound shivered; he already knew Lin Tian would ask this question, but when faced with it, he was still terrified. Telling Lin Tian this would mean Du Dahai wouldn't spare him.
Lin Tian seemed to see through his thoughts and urged, "If you keep dawdling, I'll clean up our own for Du Dahai."
The wolfhound gulped and then stammered a reply, "Devices and contraband are bought from Linglu City. Devices are sold to the Zhuge Clan in Sakula Country and some forces in Sha Continent. Contraband is sold at various entertainment venues."
Lin Tian's brows furrowed deeply, realizing that the network involved was far wider than he imagined, and the Zhuge Clan was indeed an ever-present threat.
Then Lin Tian asked the next question, "How long have you been doing this business?"
"The contraband business has been going on for many years, but in recent years, the regulator heavily cracked down on the drug weeds, so we haven't dared to sell contraband in large quantities. We've only been in the device business for half a year, with around four or five transactions, similar in quantity to those in the basement."
"Damn, you parasites! How can society have such scum like you? Are you worthy of your country? Are you worthy of your parents..."
Tian Ming couldn't help but curse. A retired soldier, he had once vowed loyalty to the people and the country, he was among those who loved the country most passionately. Upon hearing the wolfhound's words, he was flushed with rage.
If Lin Tian weren't present, he might have bashed the wolfhound half to death. He didn't think Lin Tian's previous methods were cruel enough, these scums deserved worse than being castrated.
Lin Tian gestured to Tian Ming and said, "Calm down, this guy and those like him will be punished sooner or later, he's still useful for now."
The wolfhound threw Lin Tian a grateful glance, as Tian Ming's furious demeanor had truly terrified him.
With a cold snort at the wolfhound, Lin Tian continued his questions, "You know the time and place of your next transaction, right?"
The wolfhound hurriedly nodded, "Yes, yes, next week the Zhuge Clan will send someone over to buy devices. At a logistics company by the dock."
"And the contraband?"
"The contraband was bought from Linglu City last week, so we won't have any contact with them for now. The acquired contraband is distributed for sale at various bars, KTVs, and nightclubs, but the quantity sold isn't large."
Having said that, the wolfhound moved further to the corner because Tian Ming's expression grew harsher, he was likely one step away from rushing over and beating him to death.
Lin Tian smiled, thinking, now you're scared? After committing so many evil deeds, the end will surely be horribly tragic, heaven is watching.
Without lingering, Lin Tian asked again, "Are you doing all this on Du Dahai's instructions?"
The wolfhound nodded heavily, "Yes, yes, he instructed me to do it. On the surface, he only owns some entertainment assets, and authorities couldn't trace anything back to him. Most illegal activities are done by us."
"Ha, even Du Dahai fears detection. So if he feared being traced, how do you usually communicate?"
"Just through phones, but using SIM cards without ID binding, and we don't contact often. Only after a transaction do we transfer the sold money to an account. Through a laundering method, the money becomes clean."
Lin Tian grinned, "So your nest was raided, and he still doesn't know?"
The wolfhound nodded, "Including the bar that got robbed two days ago, he doesn't know. He's very cautious; we only contact every so often. As for whether Du Dahai has placed spies by my side, I don't know."
Lin Tian contemplatively lowered his head, according to the wolfhound, the Zhuge Clan would bring money to trade next week.
"How much do your little brothers know about all this?"
After thinking for a moment, the wolfhound continued, "Except for us being Du Dahai's men, they know about most of the other transactions."
Lin Tian's face turned sour; he initially planned to pull off a big operation, like killing the Zhuge Clan's representatives during the transaction and then grabbing the money.
But the wolfhound's little brothers were all taken by the police, now they're likely serious offenders, and they must be undergoing overnight interrogation, who knows what they might reveal.
If the next week's device transaction gets leaked to the police, things will get complicated. At least the money brought by the Zhuge Clan wouldn't be obtained; that's quite a fortune.
Lin Tian pondered for a long while, finally waving to Wu Yong, "Take the wolfhound to see a doctor first, remember to send a couple of brothers to watch him."
Wu Yong nodded, then began calling the doctor.
Lin Tian walked out of the room, stood on the balcony, and lit a cigarette. Finally, he took out his phone and called Xu Ning'an.
As soon as the call connected, Xu Ning'an's uniquely sweet voice came through the phone, "Not bad, Lin Tian, you just told me two days ago, and today the task is done. I give a thumbs up to your efficiency."
Clearly, Xu Ning'an was in a good mood. A raid seized so much contraband and caught so many traffickers, how could she not feel happy?
Originally she could have seized a batch of devices, but she kindly gave them to Lin Tian, so Lin Tian was very thankful to her.
Lin Tian chuckled and said, "How's it? Have they revealed anything during the interrogation?"
"I haven't asked about the devices; they didn't say either. Only asked about contraband, and learned it was bought from Linglu City and sold through small channels. Other than that, I know nothing. I only know their leader is with you, surely you can get some valuable information right?"
Lin Tian smiled; this pretty woman was quite understanding.
"Hmm, their leader is indeed with me, and I found out the time and place for the next device transaction, I want to..."
Before Lin Tian could finish, Xu Ning'an interrupted, "Don't tell me your plan, I don't wish to know. Just remember you're still buying me dinner."
"Alright, whatever you want to eat."
"I want to drink too; didn't get enough last time."
Lin Tian's mind instantly flashed back to Xu Ning'an's drunken scene a few days ago, with that fatal temptation-like image.
Could it be... she's trying to seduce me again?
