Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

Looking at the seven people in front of him, Zhang Lei felt his intelligence had been insulted! He glared at Cai Tianming with gritted teeth.

This wasn't something Zhang Lei was faking. Before they set off, Wei Shang had told him about Li Zhenbiao's situation; otherwise, he wouldn't have shot Li Shichang.

However, when he saw the seven people who came out with his own eyes, Zhang Lei felt that everything he had done before was a joke. He did not expect that Cai Tianming would actually dare to deceive him!

"Haha, we know you're anxious, but please don't be! We haven't seen your strength with our own eyes yet! Would you be willing to let us witness it?" said Uncle Sparrow, one of the old men.

"What do you want to see?" Zhang Lei asked in return.

“Haha, Brother, don’t you have more than seventy ships? And you can sell your goods all over Northeast Asia. We want to see if you really have that capability! If you really have that capability, then we will cooperate with you directly!” said Sapo, the only woman among the seven.

"Let's go then!" Zhang Lei knew that if he didn't show these people his strength today, they wouldn't make a deal with him.

Fortunately, he had already arranged for the boats before coming, so there wouldn't be any problems because they suddenly wanted to go see the boats.

When Uncle Sparrow and his six companions saw the fishing boats arranged by Zhang Lei at the dock, especially the sight of seventy boats leaving the port all at once, even the most cautious Fei Cheng couldn't stop smiling.

"How about it? My skills are pretty good, right? Do you have any doubts? Speak them out!" Zhang Lei said to the seven people, mimicking Haha's tone.

“We have no further objections. This afternoon, we will make a deal with you! Cash on delivery!” Fei Cheng said.

“No problem! Where should we meet for the transaction?” Zhang Lei knew that he could capture them completely by launching a surprise attack while they were exchanging fire.

"I'll call you when the time comes! Don't worry! But Tianming has to come with me! After all, we still need some goods from his factory! Our rock sugar all comes from his factory!" Uncle Que said.

Faced with this unexpected turn of events, Zhang Lei and Xiao Bei felt a chill run down their spines. Although they had planted a bug on Cai Tianming, there were still many ways to hide it from them.

“Uncle Que, this isn’t the right thing to do! We have to let Brother Tianming come with us first, so that if anything goes wrong, we won’t end up with nothing!” Zhang Lei said.

“Besides, if we really want to ship the goods, Brother Tianming can just contact us by phone! There’s no need for him to come with you! You’ve already investigated my situation, but I haven’t even looked at yours yet! So Tianming can’t go with you!” Zhang Lei continued.

Zhang Lei's words made Uncle Que and the others fall into deep thought. Logically speaking, Zhang Lei's idea was correct. It was the first time they had worked together, and there was indeed a lack of trust.

"Godfather, I'll go back with Brother Haha first. I'll call in a bit and have Da Long and Xiao Ya prepare the goods and ship them out! No problem! The quantity Brother Haha needs can definitely be delivered before this afternoon." Cai Tianming knew that Captain Zhang wouldn't let him out of his sight now.

“Okay, you can call us. Our goods are on their way. Once we confirm the transaction location and time, we can deliver them to you directly!” Uncle Sparrow said.

"Alright, then we'll go back and wait for your news!" Zhang Lei led Cai Tianming out of the group of seven's sight.

Upon returning to the Municipal Bureau, Zhang Lei immediately went to Director Yu's office.

"Director Yu, after the transaction is completed this afternoon, I want to take action against Cai Tianming's factory!" Zhang Lei said.

“Tell me your reasons!” Director Yu asked.

“If we take action against that factory now, it might alert those people! Besides, the two drivers who delivered goods to Cai Tianming are still on their way to Ezhou. They are members of that seven-man group, and it’s not good to mess with them right now!” Zhang Lei said.

"That's no problem, let's see how things go this afternoon! If everything goes smoothly, we'll decide based on the situation! By the way, where are Director Zhao and Captain Shi?" Director Yu asked curiously.

“They followed us to see the so-called Li Zhenbiao, but they didn’t get out of the car. They just observed from the side. They should be in the conference room now! After all, we have to make a deal with the seven-man group this afternoon!” Zhang Lei said.

"If you're going to take action, you absolutely must ensure the safety of Director Zhao and Captain Shi! Understand?" Director Yu said.

"I know, after all, they have given us a lot of help, so we must ensure their safety!" Zhang Lei said with a smile.

"By the way, the equipment Xiao Bei requested from me has been prepared for you. Take it with you when we operate this afternoon!" Director Yu said.

"Yes!" Zhang Lei said with a smile.

Soon, the appointed time arrived, and a truckload of disguised rock candy was driven out of the drug manufacturing factory in Ezhou.

Not long after the car left, another car followed. The factory was also surrounded by Ezhou's special police, and thanks to Wei Shang's warning, even the armed police were deployed this time.

Meanwhile, in Tianjin, Zhang Lei also got into his car and set off. Uncle Que had just called him, telling him to go to Binhai Road for the transaction. As a local, Zhang Lei naturally knew the situation on Binhai Road. Although it wasn't particularly bustling, it was very close to the sea and even closer to the highway, with relatively little traffic, making it a good place to escape if things went wrong.

"These people really did their homework. They're planning to run away at the slightest sign of trouble!" Zhang Lei said with a smile.

"So, should we move the SWAT team out now? Should we send them to the perimeter?" Xiao Bei asked.

"Give them the word! I don't think these guys will just give up easily! Even though we've increased our firepower, we're still in the city, so it's better to play it safe!" Zhang Lei said.

"Okay, I'll notify the SWAT team!" Xiao Bei said and then made the call.

When they arrived at the transaction location, Zhang Lei realized he had made a mistake, because the group had chosen to make the transaction right in front of Binhai Elementary School!

It's currently the time when children are getting out of school, and Zhang Lei sees the school bus parked at the school gate, with children boarding in an orderly fashion!

"These people are definitely doing this on purpose!" Zhang Lei slammed his fist on the back of the chair, his face full of anger.

"What do we do now?" Xiao Bei asked.

"We'll see how it goes! We absolutely cannot hurt the children!" Zhang Lei said.

“Yes!” Beckham said.

Soon, accompanied by Kou Shui Su, Uncle Que sat down on a bench by the roadside.

Seeing this, Zhang Lei also got out of the car with Xiao Bei. Right now, he just wanted to stall for time until the children were dismissed from school and left!

"Uncle Que, the money's in the car, but where's the goods?" Zhang Lei asked.

"Haha, brother, don't be in such a hurry. Why are you always in such a rush? We're doing business that could cost us our lives, so we have to be extremely careful! This is the mainland, not Mingzhu!" Uncle Que looked at Zhang Lei with a smile and said calmly.

"Hahaha, Uncle Que, you're getting old, can't you be less anxious? I get several calls a day urging me to hurry up! Especially Mr. Kim Ji-hoon from South Korea, he calls me every two hours! If it weren't for the fact that South Korea has a monopoly on the heroin trade in the Tiger faction, they wouldn't have to come to me for help! So, I can't help but be anxious!" Zhang Lei thought of the South Koreans that Brother Haha had mentioned, so he brought this person up.

“Okay, the goods are in the truck in front of that elementary school: one ton of heroin, five hundred kilograms of ketamine, and two hundred kilograms of ecstasy! You can have your men drive it away!” Uncle Sparrow said.

"You say so? You don't even let me check the goods before I buy them?" Zhang Lei questioned, his face grim.

"Haha, bro, if you're brave enough, you can inspect the goods!" Kou Shui Su said with a laugh.

"Are you kidding me?" Zhang Lei stood up, looking at the two men with a ferocious expression.

"It's not that we're messing with you, it's just that you don't trust us, Brother Haha! You stopped Tianming from letting us reunite, and now you insist on inspecting the goods! We've been in this business for so long, and our reputation is what we rely on! Besides, Tianming is in your hands, what do you have to doubt? If you want to make a deal, leave the money and drive the truck away! We can continue to cooperate in the future! Let's make money together! Don't worry, we won't be greedy for your little bit of money!" Uncle Que said with a smile, and even patted Zhang Lei on the shoulder.

Zhang Lei looked at Uncle Que and Kou Shui Su, who were both smiling, and then at the three cars across the street that were still running. He was filled with mixed feelings.

The school children behind him were still leaving, and although the crowd had thinned out somewhat, he dared not take the risk. What if a shootout broke out? It wouldn't matter if the drug dealers escaped, but what if they fired indiscriminately?

However, if he were to drive the truck away now, although the transaction would be completed and he might be able to make the arrest again later, if something unexpected happened, all his efforts would be in vain. After all, he couldn't just go all the way to Mingzhu to arrest them, could he?

“Uncle Que, is this how you and Liansheng do business? This is a bit unethical, isn’t it? You chose to trade here because you know I won’t dare to inspect the goods in public, right? Aren’t you afraid I’ll cancel the deal? You should know that heroin isn’t just your business; I can also go to Wanbei and South America to get it!” Zhang Lei said.

"Brother Haha, let's not beat around the bush. The reason we did this deal today is out of necessity, because we've revealed our true colors to you in our first transaction! If we're not careful, we won't be able to handle any problems that might arise! So, please trust our character and sincerity, Brother Haha!" Uncle Que's face showed some helplessness, but even more worry.

They always stayed behind the scenes, and this was their first time making a deal in person, so they had to be cautious. They and Kou Shui Su went out to make the deal, while the others stayed in the car, so that if anything happened, they wouldn't all be wiped out! That was the reason they made the deal this way!

"Bang!" A sudden gunshot interrupted Uncle Que and Zhang Lei's contemplation.
