Chapter 318: I’ve never seen such a fierce one.

He pointed at the X-shaped water mark, "But the risks of going overseas are also very high. Over there, you’re competing with people who deal with real guns and live bullets. You need money to open up connections and even more money to pave the way. I estimate that in the past few years, the losses were greater than the earnings! It’s only in the past two years that things have started to ease up."

"Mm-hmm." Yueqing admired his sharpness, "I’ve looked into his company, and it matches what you’ve said. Now all that’s left is an empty shell. Most of the capital must be tied up in overseas transactions... My guess is, he’s thinking of settling there once he establishes a foothold."

Jun Lii took a deep breath, "That’s exactly what worries me the most."

"How so?"

"You said he took Song Xiaoxiao with him this time, right?"

"Yes, if it weren’t for my concerns about Xiaoxiao’s safety, I wouldn’t have gone there in person."

"That’s where the problem lies." Jun Lii sat up straight and started to analyze for her, "The bulk of Song Qinglong’s money is overseas, with only a small portion in Hua Country. At the start of this year, a batch of materials overseas was robbed by a terrorist organization. The merchants involved in that line suffered huge losses. It’s said that they had received warnings, knowing it was a deal many staked their fortunes on."

"You mean... Song Qinglong was involved too?"

"Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so desperate for funds." Jun Lii did some quick calculations, "Smuggling profits are huge. Since Song Qinglong has started to break even, this means he’s made decent earnings in the past two years. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be putting all his efforts into developing overseas. However... Du Mansheng also told you, starting from the beginning of this year, he has borrowed two large sums of money from the Du Family. Once five million, and another quite recently—eight million."

"Right, but Sister Mansheng intercepted that eight million and didn’t transfer it to him."

"That’s correct." Jun Lii said, "The timing of his borrowing aligns perfectly with when I received certain information. Overseas, to prevent further robberies by those people, they hired mercenaries to establish a trade organization. Since then, there have been no troubles with transporting goods or opening new lines. And the membership fee... is exactly five million!"

"My guess is, Song Qinglong still isn’t willing to give up on that business. After joining the trade organization, he then made some money through reselling. Last month, the trade organization decided to raise funds again to participate in a new batch of goods transport and share the substantial profits!"

Yueqing understood, "The price this time... is... eight million?"

"Yes." Jun Lii nodded, "Song Qinglong didn’t get the money from the Du Family, and the amount he scraped together was still not enough. With the deadline to contribute to the fundraising fast approaching, he had no choice but to risk going to T country and smuggling another batch of goods to address his urgent needs!"

"Eight million? The house he lives in, the company, these could be mortgaged for more than eight million... Why take such a risk? And to bring Song Xiaoxiao?"

"Because Song Qinglong wouldn’t easily reveal his last resort." Jun Lii understood such people very well!

After all, the former boss of organization S was also such a person.

"To him, money and power are most important. Everything else can be discarded. Houses, fixed assets, they belong to him, and he wouldn’t easily move them! But interpersonal relationships, relatives and friends, even his wife and blood, are all exploitable."

"Now overseas, running his own shipments would get him robbed, and he doesn’t even have enough initial capital to participate in the trade organization, so he can only think of other methods, resort to old tricks, take the risk to transport a batch of goods from T country to Hua Country to relieve his pressing need."

At this point, Jun Lii’s tone grew more serious, "What I suspect... is that he took Xiaoxiao with him intending to hide drugs with the child."

"What?!"

This speculation completely shattered Yueqing’s understanding.

"Only by dealing with those people do you realize just how ruthless and heartless they are..." Jun Lii’s brows were deeply furrowed, "Other than that, I can’t think of any other reason why he’d insist on taking his daughter to such a place!"

Yueqing had heard plenty about the use of pregnant women and children to smuggle drugs in her narcotics enforcement work.

But she never imagined Song Qinglong would consider such a plan.

Seeing the anger on her face, Jun Lii consoled her, "Of course, what I’m saying may not be entirely accurate, but we need to prepare for the worst when heading to T country."
