Chapter 375: Chapter 375 He Doesn’t Trust Women

She told herself that no matter what, he was Xiaocong’s father. She could consider this her way of learning more about him for Xiaocong’s sake...

Rong Shaoze gave a relieved smile, came over to help her get dressed, and Lin Xinlan’s face blushed slightly as she avoided his hands and swiftly changed into her clothes herself.

-------------

Today, Rong Shaoze was set to conduct a massive arms deal with Smith.

The location of the deal was a well-hidden, abandoned wharf by the seaside.

Both sides brought many men and had taken protective measures around the wharf to be ready for a possible incursion from other organizations or the police, ensuring they could respond swiftly.

Lin Xinlan followed him in the car to the wharf. When the car stopped, he took her hand to help her get out.

Smith, wearing a black coat, stood not far opposite them. Around him stood a dozen burly bodyguards; Rong Shaoze had a significant number of bodyguards on his side as well.

All the bodyguards were armed, each looking ferocious and vigilant with fierce eyes.

Seeing the setup, Lin Xinlan couldn’t help but feel afraid.

Even with mental preparation, she still couldn’t suppress the fear in her heart when faced with the reality.

She clung to Rong Shaoze’s arm, and the man could feel her arm trembling slightly.

He patted her hand and decisively told her, "Wait for me in the car. It will be over soon."

"Okay," she nodded quickly, without a moment’s hesitation, and sat back in the car.

Rong Shaoze instructed one of his men, "Protect the madam well; don’t let her get hurt."

"Yes!"

After giving the order, Rong Shaoze led his men towards Smith.

Smith had noticed Lin Xinlan from the start, and he frowned slightly, somewhat dissatisfied, he said, "Sect Leader Rong, you know our rules. Besides one’s most trusted men, no one else is allowed, not even their own parents. So, what’s the meaning of bringing a woman here?"

By implication, he had little trust in women.

Rong Shaoze smiled faintly, his gaze calm, "She is my wife. Don’t worry, Godfather Smith, she will not disclose the contents of our transaction."

"Really?" Smith’s eyes were sharp, not very convinced by his words, "What if she does betray?"

Rong Shaoze sensed the murderous intent in his eyes, and his own gaze grew sharp.

"If you don’t trust me, then there’s no need for this transaction!" he said resolutely, in front of Smith, he had no need for false courtesies.

There was no one in the world who Rong Shaoze feared!

Smith’s expression changed swiftly, and he laughed immediately, "Sect Leader Rong, please calm your anger. I was just speaking hypothetically. It’s not that I don’t trust you. Since you trust your esteemed wife, I will have to trust her as well."

Rong Shaoze’s expression remained indifferent, but he coldly snorted in his heart.

Lin Xinlan sat in the car, her attention fixed on Rong Shaoze and the others.

He spoke with Smith for a while, and then the two of them walked towards a huge yacht.

They boarded the ship, and the cabin below was filled with arms. Rong Shaoze had his men check the goods; once he confirmed everything was authentic and the quantity was sufficient, he decided to proceed with the deal.

The two men walked shoulder to shoulder out of the cabin, standing at the bow. Rong Shaoze was about to speak to Smith when suddenly a gunshot rang out, and one of the bodyguards beside him fell instantly.

All those present were well-trained, having learned to remain calm and respond to such sudden attacks.
