Song Guanchao imdiately called Lu Feng.
"Arrange a eting with Tang Zhengqiang."
He hung up the phone and waited quietly.
He felt that he was getting close to the truth.
Zeng Li rested her head on his arm, smiling as she looked at him.
"What's with your expression?" He always found Zeng Li's expression a bit strange.
Zeng Li said, "I guess that swindler won't et with you."
"Why?"
"Because he's already made a choice."
"Also, you waited a few days to contact him. How do you think he would feel about that?"
"If it were , I'd definitely think you're not here to pay for information, but rather trying to pry sothing out of ."
"In this situation, not only would he refuse to et with you, but he'd also avoid you."
Song Guanchao raised his eyebrows.
This possibility did exist.
He didn't have to wait long before Lu Feng called back.
"Class leader, he wants you to call him directly."
"Send the number."
After hanging up, Song Guanchao said, "Looks like you guessed wrong."
Zeng Li furrowed her brows; the swindler surprisingly didn't refuse.
She asked, "Did you always contact that swindler through your friend?"
"Yes."
"Then it seems he likely won't et with you directly anymore."
Zeng Li said, "He wants to communicate over the phone, clearly worried about eting face-to-face and what you might do."
Song Guanchao thought about it; the person indeed seed to have such concerns.
Otherwise, they always t in person before; why suddenly switch to phone communication?
Zeng Li said, "You only have this one opportunity to communicate with him. If the cooperation doesn't work out this ti, you might never see him again."
"When the call connects, just offer to purchase."
"If he doesn't sell, say nothing else."
"If he sells, then tell him you already know what the information he's selling is."
Song Guanchao looked at her puzzled, "And then? If he asks what the information is, how do I answer?"
"Scam!"
"What?"
"If he asks, just respond with those two words."
Song Guanchao didn't quite understand her aning, when Lu Feng sent the number.
"Use my phone to call." Zeng Li handed it over.
Song Guanchao dialed the number.
Quickly, it connected.
He put it on speaker, and on the other end Tang Zhengqiang's elegant voice, slightly feminine, spoke: "Hello, boss."
"Mr. Tang, I..."
"Boss, the price of the information has increased. If you can't accept the new price, I don't think there's any need for us to et."
Increased again?
Zeng Li gave him a look, and Song Guanchao understood, signaling him to ask how much.
"How much?"
"One billion."
Wow, it doubled directly!
Zeng Li signaled him again, and Song Guanchao said, "Mr. Tang, I'm calling not to purchase your information, but to tell you that I already know."
The phone went silent suddenly.
After several seconds, Tang Zhengqiang laughed calmly: "Is that so? Then boss is truly impressive, saving a billion."
Song Guanchao heard his disbelief, and following Zeng Li's suggestion, bluntly said those two words: "Scam."
After saying those words, the phone fell into silence again.
But this ti, it only lasted less than two seconds before Tang Zhengqiang smiled faintly: "Seems boss's guess isn't quite right."
Zeng Li suddenly grabbed Song Guanchao's phone and quickly typed a line.
Song Guanchao glanced at it and said, "It's just speculation for now, but at the latest tomorrow, I'll be certain. Given our previous cooperation, I'm still willing to purchase the information, but the price is not as high."
"One million."
"If Mr. Tang is willing, let's set a ti to et, and I'll bring the cash directly to you."
Tang Zhengqiang said, "Boss sure knows how to joke."
Zeng Li typed another line.
Song Guanchao looked at the text, and said, "No worries, Mr. Tang, you can take your ti to consider. Also, a word of warning, you'd better not get involved in this scam, or else I'll have to catch you along with them."
"Mr. Tang, think it over carefully."
With that, he hung up the phone.
Without Zeng Li having to say anything, Song Guanchao already guessed what had just happened from what she typed.
The information Tang Zhengqiang was trying to sell him was obtained from his peers!
This piece of information, enough to affect Qu Xiangru and Zheng Bihui, is a scam!
A swindling gang has arrived in Lingjiang, intending to carry out a scam!
Tang Zhengqiang must have run into this group, and sohow confird what they were planning to do.
He realized the potential harm this could bring to Lingjiang, so he wanted to sell the information to him.
The risk he claid must be from directly contacting those swindlers and revealing that he already knew their plan.
Threatening them to siphon off so benefits.
If it weren't for Zeng Li, he wouldn't have thought of this aspect.
But then he thought of another issue.
He frowned and said, "Maybe I shouldn't have tested him just now."
"What's wrong?"
"What if he's already contacted those swindlers, and my probing leads him to inform them?"
Zeng Li said, "That's why I had you directly offer to buy after connecting the call."
"If he doesn't sell, it ans he's already revealed it to them."
"But he sold, and even raised the price, aning he hasn't exposed it to them yet."
Song Guanchao patted his forehead; Zeng Li had considered this right from the start.
Look at him, his brain is getting slower and slower.
Zeng Li said, "That swindler should still continue to contact you."
"Next ti you et, have the money ready, then send soone to track them and keep them under control."
Song Guanchao frowned: "Isn't that inappropriate?"
He's still quite rule-abiding.
Zeng Li said, "You're not reporting them to arrest them, just controlling them."
"Although the other side is quite professional, going from a billion to a million, there's no guarantee he won't eat from both sides."
"What if he takes your money here and then goes to fool those swindlers, it will disrupt the plan completely."
"Plan? What plan?"
"You're so dense."
Zeng Li said, "Didn't that swindler say? It can get you promoted!"
Song Guanchao shook his head: "There's no need to earn credit through such ans."
If it backfires and causes massive economic loss, it wouldn't be worth it.
Zeng Li sighed: "That swindler will definitely give you the details once he takes the money, then you can directly arrange people to secretly monitor the other group of swindlers. In this way, they're in the light, we're in the dark."
"You just need to watch them act and prepare in advance. Once they complete the scam, you step out and recover the lost money."
Listening to her, Song Guanchao suddenly thought of the 7 billion fiscal funds of Dujiang City being transferred overseas.
The two incidents have an oddly similar feel!
