Chapter Eighteen: In the Transaction

  During this period, the number of foreign tourists coming to Lushan City suddenly increased dramatically for some reason. Although there were also some tour groups bringing foreign tourists here before, it would never be like this now. There are tourists from various countries, and most of them are from Western countries that are rarely seen in daily life!

  Facing these sudden foreign tourists, major merchants are exceptionally delighted! This means a large business opportunity is just around the corner!

  At this time, a white young man in the pedestrian street central square looked around and complained: "There are really many people on this street! We chose to make a deal at this time!"

  A young white woman standing next to the young white man gave him a sharp look and said, "Hagen! Can't you just shut up for once?! Now is the time when we take the initiative to buy the technology in their possession, not when they beg us to buy theirs!"

  "This young man named Hagen looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the street, walking alongside a woman and saying: "Elena sister, look around us. I've already found at least four compatriots from different countries mixed in with the crowd in front of us!"

  A woman named Irina, who seemed to have glanced around the crowd casually, nodded in response to young Hagen's words and said: "Not bad, I've also noticed. Isn't it because of that person selling information online that such a situation has arisen? Now almost all the top intelligence personnel from major countries around the world are gathered here, so we must be extremely careful with our time! We can't reveal the purpose of our visit! Otherwise, the consequences will be unpredictable!"

  Irina, after finishing her words, went with Hagen to a coffee shop on the third floor of this pedestrian street where they had just contacted the seller. On the way to the coffee shop, Irina began to admire the person she was about to meet, who had chosen this place for the transaction, which was really thoughtful.

  The other party chose this transaction location, obviously taking advantage of the complex environment with people coming and going. If the other party wants to shake off someone following them, they only need to blend into the dense crowd below, and it would be too difficult to find their trail again. Moreover, there are indeed too many passages here, if one is not extremely familiar with the surroundings, it will be very inconvenient to move around!

  After taking the elevator to the floor dedicated to food and drink in the pedestrian street, Elena and Hagen easily found the coffee shop they had agreed on beforehand. The two immediately walked in and headed for the third table as agreed, where a young man with a hat was sitting!

  Irina brought Hagen to the table where Mocheng Xing was sitting, and naturally sat down in the empty seat across from him. Then, she took the initiative to ask in fluent Chinese: "Hello, how should I address this gentleman?"

  Mudustar looked up at the two Americans in front of him, smiled and said: "Miss is very punctual! And your Chinese is excellent, but let's communicate in English to be safer. You can call me Ling!"

  Since the other party had already introduced themselves and requested to communicate in English, Elena immediately switched to her native language and replied: "So let's introduce ourselves too. My name is Elena, and this is my assistant Hagen! It's an honor to do business with Mr. Ling! Your English is also very good!"

  Just as Irina finished speaking, a waitress in the coffee shop saw that two foreigners had arrived at Muxin's table and politely asked them what they needed. Irina ordered two cold drinks in Chinese again and looked at the young man wearing a hat in front of her, waiting for him to speak.

  Looking at the waiter leaving, Muxin Xing took out a brand new laptop from his seat and placed it on the table: "Let's not waste any more time, can we start the transaction now? After all, this trading location is not absolutely safe, you also know that many special agents of various countries have arrived in this city, our government should also send people over, I don't want to be caught by the National Security Bureau!"

  After seeing the other party put a laptop on the table, Elena and Hagen exchanged a glance and immediately smiled and replied: "Mr. Ling is indeed quick-witted, then let's start the transaction! Now we need to check the transaction materials first, how about it?"

  Mudustar gazed at Eirina and Hagen without saying much, quickly opening his laptop to bring up the first half of the complete data on the new propulsion system for this transaction. Then he turned the laptop towards Eirina and Hagen: "Miss Eirina, these are very professional knowledge, I hope you can understand it!"

  Irina immediately moved the laptop to herself, then smiled confidently at Mochou Xing and said: "This doesn't need Mr. Ling to worry about it, I majored in mechanical engineering at MIT, so these materials are exactly what I studied!"

  "I didn't expect you to have such a background," said Muxin Xing, picking up the cup of iced coffee in front of her and taking a sip before speaking calmly: "It seems I was worried for nothing! Miss Ailina, please go ahead!"

  About ten minutes later, Irina raised her head and looked at Mochizuki again, clearly excited: "Mr. Ling, the data you provided is indeed the technology we need! There's no problem, we can start trading now!"

  Mudustar smiled slightly and didn't say a word, instead he brought his hand back in front of himself, then opened a special account that Old Xia had previously set up through the Flame Queen, pointing at Ailina in front of him.

  Elena nodded to Hagen on one side, and Hagen immediately took out a laptop from his bag and put it on the table!

  Under the gaze of Mochizuki, Elena began using her laptop to transfer funds for the bank. After seeing $850 million smoothly enter her account, a USB drive was handed by Mochizuki to Hagen across from him.

  Hagen handed over the U-disk in his hand to Irina, who had just finished transferring the money. She inserted the U-disk into her computer and began to view its contents immediately.

  After verifying the accuracy of the information, Irina immediately began transmitting the data using her computer. Once the data on her handheld computer was confirmed to have been transmitted completely, she promptly and professionally destroyed all the data in it. The series of actions earned a silent admiration from Mo Chen Xing, who thought to himself that a professional is indeed a professional, and he, as an amateur, couldn't compare to Irina's meticulousness in details!

  After finishing all of the above work, Irina immediately said to Mu Chen Xing who had signs of leaving: "This Mr. Ling, I don't know if you have any interest in developing in our America!"

  Mudanxing, who was about to get up and leave, pulled his hat down and said in an extremely calm tone: "America! Not interested! We only need money for now!"

  After hearing Mu Chen Xing's words, Ailina still maintained her smile and continued to put forward some conditions they had prepared: "Mr. Ling, if you need research funding, as long as you are willing to come to the United States, we can guarantee that your research project will have ample funding, and we can also provide the best equipment, venues, and personnel in the world! This is something that cannot be found in other countries or regions!"

  Looking at the tempting conditions promised by Elina in front of him, Muxin Xing still said in an extremely calm tone: "Miss Elina, the conditions you put forward are indeed very attractive, but we currently have no intention of sacrificing ourselves for any national power! Sorry!"

  Although she heard the refusal of Mu Chen Xing again, Aileen said again: "Mr. Ling, I am very clear that conducting such technological research is a troublesome and laborious task. The amount of money you have obtained is huge, but it is far from enough for new technological research! So I sincerely invite you again, as long as you come to the United States, you can conduct your research projects at will, and you will have an environment that will not be disturbed in any way!"

  Now that he has the funds he needs, Muxu Xing doesn't want to continue entangling with the two Americans in front of him. After all, he took a great risk coming here for this transaction! Who knows when one careless move would be discovered by agents from other countries or national security agencies?

  So, Mudan Xing stood up abruptly and said to Irene: "Miss Irene, I have to say you're a very formidable negotiator! We also know that these funds, although they seem like an astronomical figure to ordinary people, are just a relatively large research grant for scientific research! But I can tell you in advance, if we don't have enough funds, we can simply sell another technology at the same level as this propulsion technology! Haha, you didn't think we only had these two high-tech technologies, did you?"

  Upon hearing the news that exploded from Mudustar's mouth, Hagen and Eirina's faces changed dramatically. They really didn't expect the other party to say such a thing. To know how difficult it is to develop a new technology, take the new propulsion technology they just transmitted back to their country, after analysis by experts, if there was no complete design drawing, they would need at least several years to decades to develop it. And now, from the other party's mouth, they learned that this mysterious group had even more advanced technologies!

  Irina immediately spoke hastily to Muxin Xing: "Mr. Ling, if you have any other new technologies, please contact us first!"

  "We'll talk about this later!" After finishing the sentence, Muxu Xing left the money for their drinks on the table and immediately started to retreat without looking back according to the plan made by Lao Zhou and others.

  Looking at the rapidly departing back, Elena immediately ordered Hagen beside her: "Hagen, inform the captain to change the original plan immediately! At the same time, notify headquarters to dispatch more personnel to this city immediately. We must find these few people with technology at all costs!"

  Elena had no choice but to do so, the situation has clearly undergone the greatest change, and the other side may have some other advanced technologies, so the plan of the CIA director must be changed immediately.

  Hagen, who had been silent until now, looked at Irina with a very serious expression and said: "I understand! Irina, did you feel it? This guy's face was clearly wearing a mask to hide his true appearance, and he was emitting a very dangerous aura that made me extremely uncomfortable! Especially the tone of his last speech was chillingly cold!"

  Elena immediately stood up and said: "You felt it too! I thought it was just my own illusion! Alright, let's leave here immediately and return to the base, then we'll report the latest intelligence we've obtained to the captain in detail!"

  Hagen immediately stood up and called the waiter to pay the bill, then he and Elena quickly walked out and soon disappeared into the dense crowd on the street.

  But what Irina and Hagen didn't know was that shortly after they left the coffee shop, they were already being tailed by national security personnel. Meanwhile, Mu Chen Xing, who had left earlier, still had no idea that several elite national security and armed police personnel were waiting for his arrival up ahead!
