Qiao Nian was very direct: "I'm going to buy tungsten."
"You...eh! Forget it." David knew that he couldn't persuade her, so he sighed and said, "That island is self-contained, and I can't put anyone in it."
"Forget it." Qiao Nian was about to hang up the phone and go ask someone else.
David immediately stopped her: "I haven't finished yet, Sun, wait a minute!"
Qiao Nian pursed her lips and stopped her movements speechlessly: "You say."
David didn't keep it a secret this time. "That Baishi Island is very mysterious. It's hard for the outside world to arrange for people to sneak in. But when I was doing business outside two years ago, I met a small group of them and got to know the leader. We have been on good terms for the past two years. If you want to go, I can ask him to take you there."
"Is it reliable?" Qiao Nian was more concerned about this.
David pondered for a moment and said, "I met him and had contact with him for a while. Judging from that encounter alone, he is a good guy and we can get along well."
"But if you ask me how reliable he is, I can't guarantee it. I can only say that since you are going to the island anyway, it is better to find him than to find a completely unfamiliar person to lead the way. At least you are a friend, and he can take care of you, and he should be able to do something."
"Yes." Qiao Nian understood what he meant, and said defiantly, "Please help me arrange it."
"OK."
David and her had already developed a tacit understanding. Before hanging up the phone, he asked again, "Sun, Guan Yan is with you, will you take her with you?"
Qiao Nian thought about it and said bluntly: "You also said that it's too dangerous over there, so forget it this time and talk about it next time."
David sighed, "She travels around the world all year round, has many tricks up her sleeve, and knows how to deal with desperate criminals out there. In fact, I think Sun, you can take Guan Yan with you, and don't go to such dangerous places alone every time."
"Okay, I'm hanging up."
It was obvious that Qiao Nian didn't listen and had no intention of taking Guan Yan with him.
David also knew that the reason she didn't bring Guan Yan was not because she didn't trust them, but because Sun was well aware of the dangers of Bai Shi Island.
For their safety, I didn't bring her along. But among them, Sun is the youngest, and yet she is the one who takes care of everyone when things go wrong.
David felt indescribably sad and distressed, but he knew that Qiao Nian had a stubborn personality and once he made a decision, it would be difficult for others to sway him.
He didn't say any useless nonsense, just said: "Be careful, if you need anything, contact me via satellite phone. I will arrange for Chunlei and Monkey to sail a ship in the nearby waters to support you at any time."
He happened to have a batch of raw stones that needed to be transported personally, so he was not available to take charge while Qiao Nian was in Baishi Island.
Otherwise he would definitely go and keep an eye on them himself, just in case.
"good."
Qiao Nian did not refuse his kindness this time.
She was also going to ask David to arrange some support.
Qiao Nian asked David some more questions about Baishi Island. David told her the parts he had heard, but he didn't know the rest.
After all, Baishi Island is famous for its mystery.
The offshore black market is no joke.
*
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of departure.
There is no flight route to Baishi Island, so this time Qiao Nian and his friends took a private plane.
Shi Fu and Feng Yu both came.
"Don't be impulsive when you get there. Remember to discuss with Master Ye before doing anything. Don't just do it on your own."
