Chapter 359 Is this the boss of the smuggling gang?

Several cars drove hard for several hours on the vast Gobi Desert like a few lonely beetles.

The scorching sun poured down without reservation, baking the entire Gobi Desert like a giant furnace. The car bumped along the scorching sand, raising clouds of dust.

Finally, they saw their destination - an oasis in the desert.

The oasis is surrounded by yellow sand, like a green gem. At first glance, it is easy to mistake it for a mirage.

The lush trees and looming buildings form a sharp contrast with the dead desert around them.

The staff member wore an elusive smile and said to Qi Tongwei, "We're just ahead. You can have a good chat with our boss. He's very curious about what you have in your hand."

Qi Tongwei listened, his lips twitching in a forced smile. He looked around, his heart filled with suspicion. This seemingly peaceful desert, in his eyes, was full of threats.

He wondered, is this really just a chat? Is this really not a threat?

This vast desert is sparsely populated. Once you enter their territory, you are under their control.

If it were an ordinary trader, facing these smuggling gangs in this deserted place, he would probably have backed off long ago.

It was like an invisible pressure that had enveloped him since he set foot in the desert. Perhaps this psychological pressure was deliberately created by the smuggling gang, their purpose being to intimidate the other party before the transaction and put them at a disadvantage in the negotiation.

As soon as Qi Tongwei entered the enemy's area, he immediately felt a tense atmosphere. A group of people surrounded him, holding various technological equipment, their eyes cold and vigilant.

Without a word, these people began to use various scientific and technological equipment to check Qi Tongwei from head to toe several times. Those cold instruments scanned Qi Tongwei back and forth, making a slight buzzing sound.

Not only Qi Tongwei, but also his own people who had followed him along the way were not spared. They were asked to stand in a row and undergo the same strict inspection.

Qi Tongwei secretly congratulated himself on his preparations. As soon as he was about to reach his destination, he had keenly sensed the possibility of such an inspection. So, while the car was jolting and everyone's attention was distracted, he quietly dropped the micro-tool he used for communication into the desert.

His movements were stealthy. His eyes seemed casually gazing at the desert outside the window, but his hands quickly completed the gesture under the seat. He knew that although this communication device was small, it would be easily discovered under the smuggling group's strict inspection. If discovered, his identity would be exposed, and the entire mission would fail.

Now, seeing these people carefully checking him but finding nothing, Qi Tongwei felt relieved, but on the surface he still remained calm, waiting for the next "chat".

After confirming that there were no problems, the atmosphere around them seemed to freeze, and everyone was waiting for their boss behind the scenes to appear.

A moment later, Bellamy appeared with steady steps. His eyes revealed the coldness and shrewdness of a veteran, and every step he took carried an invisible sense of oppression.

After Bellamy stood still, he looked Qi Tongwei up and down calmly, his eyes as if he was examining a commodity, trying to see through Qi Tongwei's every thought.

Then, he pointed condescendingly at the box in Qi Tongwei's hand and said in a low, unquestionable voice, "Bring the things up here so I can see them."

As soon as he finished speaking, two of his men walked towards Qi Tongwei quickly, like machines that had received instructions. With anxious eyes, they stretched out their hands to take the box from Qi Tongwei's hand.

Qi Tongwei seemed to have anticipated this. He turned his body to the side, cleverly avoiding the grabbing of the two men. At the same time, he held the box tightly, a faint smile on his face, and said slowly: "I'll show you."

Bellamy frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes, but he didn't lash out. He looked at Qi Tongwei, as if thinking about Qi Tongwei's intention.

Qi Tongwei remained smiling. He knew the contents of this box were his greatest bargaining chip, the key to his inroads into this smuggling ring. If he handed it over easily, he would lose the initiative. He had to present it in person. This way, he could control the pace of the presentation and appear more mysterious, increasing the other party's curiosity and attention.

Qi Tongwei cleared his throat and said slowly, "This is my treasure. I don't want it to get lost during the transfer. Also, I want to personally introduce to you the unique features of this treasure. After all, someone with a discerning eye like you will definitely be interested in these details."

After hearing what Qi Tongwei said, Bellamy was silent for a moment, then nodded, signaling Qi Tongwei to start the demonstration. His eyes were still wary, but there was also a hint of anticipation. He wanted to see what this treasure was that made Qi Tongwei so cautious.

Bellamy smiled slightly, that smile carrying a sense of superiority. He looked at Qi Tongwei with a playful look, as if silently saying, "What can you do on my turf?"

He nodded slightly, but his expression was full of disdain, as if Qi Tongwei was just a small character who overestimated his own abilities and could not escape his control no matter what he did.

Many people around were staring at Bellamy, watching his every move without blinking. Qi Tongwei, however, seemed oblivious to the tense atmosphere. He looked calm and steady as he approached Bellamy.

Qi Tongwei knew this moment was crucial, and his every move could affect the entire situation. He slowly crouched down, gently placed the box on the ground, and then carefully opened it. The moment he opened the box, his eyes revealed a cherished appreciation for the "treasure," as if he were a true collector of antiques.

When he carefully took the jade Buddha out of the box and placed it in front of Bellamy, Bellamy's disdainful look instantly changed. His eyes suddenly widened, as if he had seen some rare treasure.

His eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets. His mouth was slightly open, forming an "O" shape, and he couldn't close it for a long time.

Bellamy's breathing became rapid, his eyes glued to the Jade Buddha, not blinking. His face first showed a look of shock, that was an amazement at the exquisiteness of the Jade Buddha before him.
