He Ao looked at Thorne, who was still reminiscing, and suddenly said, "You once said that the mysterious man looks familiar, which proves that you may have seen him somewhere before."

"Um?"

Hearing these words, Thorne paused, as if some kind of dusty memory was pushed away, and he recalled something as if he suddenly woke up. He raised his head and looked at He Ao,

"I have indeed met him before. He came to me for entrustment a long time ago. At that time, I was still a small middleman. But when he first approached me for entrustment, he did not verify his identity. I should not have done so later.

Trust him easily...”…

He Ao stared at Thorne. Obviously Thorne knew that the mysterious man looked familiar, but he still couldn't remember it. This proved that his memory was 'covered up' by some kind of power.

While thinking, He Ao also realized something and continued to ask, "When was the first time he approached you for a commission? What was the content of the commission?"

"About twelve years ago,"

Thorne's somewhat flustered mind gradually calmed down. He had realized that his panic had no effect. There was no room to change what had happened. He had already embarked on the only path. There was no room for choice. He sorted out

After thinking for a while, he continued,

"He commissioned me to create an explosion, but I didn't find anyone suitable to take over the commission within the specified time, so the commission was cancelled."

Twelve years ago, the year that Jace's father died, the incident that led to Jace's father's death was a chemical plant explosion.

"Is the location he gave you for the explosion at a chemical plant?"

He Ao took a deep breath and asked.

"I don't know, I didn't find the right person to entrust, and I didn't get the details of that entrustment."

Thorne looked at He Ao's cheek and said slowly.

He had read the family information of 'Jess', and also knew that Jace's father died in a chemical plant explosion twelve years ago, but he did not accept the commission back then, and he did not know whether the mysterious man

He was the mastermind behind the murder of Jace's father.

He has said so much, and there is nothing to hide at this time.

He Ao also knew that Thorne most likely didn't hide anything, he just didn't know.

After all, Thorne was just an ordinary middleman at that time.

He Ao took a deep breath and then continued to ask Thorne for some clues about his parents, but all he got were negative answers.

The only person Thorne came into contact with was Jace. The commission he did not accept twelve years ago was the closest thing he had to Jace's parents.

And He Ao also wrote down this information.

Although there is no specific content, it will not be such a coincidence. At the same time, the mysterious man wanted to create an explosion, and then Jess's father was killed.

So this clue may be a small breakthrough in finding the truth about the death of Jace's parents.

Next, He Ao asked Thorne some other questions, and most of them got negative answers. Although Thorne had come into contact with mysterious people many times, he didn't know much deeper information, only the outer layer.

Ordinary executor.

During the process of handing over the building, Thorne repeatedly put forward his own conditions, which became increasingly excessive.

He began to require all his subordinates to leave with him, and to equip them with vehicles and heavy weapons.

And asked He Ao to escort them out.

He Ao rejected some conditions and modified some conditions.

Ho Ao lets Thorne leave, Thorne and his men can stay together, and Ho Ao can escort them away.

But it is impossible to equip vehicles and heavy weapons. If they have heavy weapons, they will have the ability to hurt He Ao.

But Thorne refused to give in, insisting that he needed vehicles and weapons to protect himself. …

Finally, after some haggling, He Ao said that vehicles and weapons could be given, but they would have to be purchased through cryptocurrency transactions.

Then came the quotation process. The price quoted by He Ao was very high, and he obviously wanted to persuade Thorne to quit. In the end, the two made some counteroffers and settled on a price that Thorne could hardly accept.

After everything was settled, He Ao left the warehouse, opened the warehouse door again, and sent a message to Haixi.

After a while, Haixi came over.

"How's your question?"

She glanced at He Ao, then at the deep and dark warehouse, and asked softly.

She knew very well that He Ao paid such a high price to capture Thorne because he must have wanted to know something from Thorne.

"I got some information,"

He Ao nodded slightly and looked at Haixi, "Do you have an off-road vehicle and a G-05 small laser cannon here?"

"There are off-road vehicles," Hexi thought. "But the G-05 laser cannon is not easy to use. This laser cannon can already cause damage to C-class in its extreme state."

"Do you have G-04?"

He Ao continued to ask.

G-04 is a simplified version of G-05. Its output power and equipment strength are not as good as G-05. It is generally used to deal with D-class alien beasts. It is one of the most abundant small laser cannons on the market.

Under normal circumstances, G-04 is also the most powerful weapon owned by large gangs in many cities.

"How many G-04s are there?" Haixi looked at He Ao, "What do you want to do?"

"Is G-04 for sale?"

He Ao asked in a low voice.

"If you need it, just take it and use it."

Haixi said cheerfully.

"No," He Ao shook his head, "I want to resell it, so I have to buy it."

He thought for a moment and continued, "The official guide price of G-04 is 2.08 million federal coins. The scarcity of this thing is not very high. The black market usually only goes up by 15%, which is almost 2.4 million federal coins. In this way, I will put it together

, 3 million, you give me four off-road vehicles and some heavy firearms, do you think that’s okay?”

"Your price is 1.5 times the market price. Off-road vehicles and firearms combined can't even make up the extra 600,000 federal coins, and my G-04 laser cannon is damaged,"

Haixi looked at He Ao doubtfully, "I'll give you the cost price of these things at most. I'll give you an off-road vehicle at 50,000 yuan. I'll give you some firearms. You can give me 2.5 million."

“This is the first time I’ve seen a seller take the initiative to bargain for himself,”

He Ao smiled and shook his head, "2.7 million, find me a modification workshop with complete equipment, plus the workshop usage fee and material cost are about the same."

"This is also the first time I have seen a buyer take the initiative to raise the price,"

Haixi smiled and said, "I have a mechanical modification room down there. I don't know if I can use it."

"sure."

He Ao smiled slightly.

——Two hours later——

Haixi's modification workshop

He Ao closed the lid of the laser cannon's main board, and with the sound of the metal lock being locked, He Ao unplugged the bracelet from the connecting cable.

"I didn't expect you to modify the laser cannon."

Haixi stood nearby, looking at the laser cannon in front of him in surprise.

"know a little."

He Ao nodded slightly, checked that there was no problem with the laser cannon, and then slowly stepped away and hung the energy battery on the laser cannon. …

"So this laser cannon can now damage C-level?"

Haixi walked around the laser cannon.

"Yes, but you can only fire one shot."

He Ao nodded, "I overclocked this laser cannon to increase its power. It can indeed damage C-class in extreme mode, but it can only fire one shot. After one shot, all the battery power will be exhausted.

The power of the G-04 can be modified like this, so it is not a difficult thing."

This modification method was discovered by Wei An. When he was studying the G-04 laser cannon, he found that the actual strength of the metal material of this cannon was far greater than the theoretical strength it should have, and it could support a higher power output, so

He tried to modify the cannon.

The overall modification process is actually not difficult, but it is a bit of a test of skill. It is easy to cause an explosion during the modification of the energy circuit.

"Is it very simple..."

Haixi stared at the modified laser cannon in front of him.

For such a 'simple' thing, she has never heard of the successful modification of G-04 in all these years. However, there are many mechanics in the underground world who have tried to modify G-04.

Under normal circumstances, Hexi would hear the news that they had been killed within a few days.

"Who are you going to sell this cannon to? How much will it cost?"

She raised her head and looked at He Ao with some excitement.

"Three to three million," He Ao shrugged, "sell it to the person who is willing to pay the money."

"So expensive?"
