In the end, the best laid plans of mice and men often went awry. Men proposed while God disposed. They went from the capital city to Jin City. In the end, Ye Jian still ended up joining the mission.
It was the will of the heavens, the will of the heavens…
Mr. Fu stood in front of the window with a serious expression. He took out his wallet and lowered his head to look at the photo of his wife that he had always treasured. He gently rubbed the photo with his hand and said softly, “Red Plum, look at how we went around in such a big circle. I didn’t want my daughter to face the person who caused your death, but she ended up facing him anyway. She even found the freighter that might be Li Chuhai’s escape from the country.
“If it’s really fate, you have to bless our daughter and let her catch the mastermind who killed you. She has to catch Li Chuhai, the mastermind who has been at large for more than 20 years, smoothly. We can’t let him do anything evil again.”
The scenery outside the window was dark. Only the harbor was brightly lit, illuminating all the workers who were doing their assignments on the freighter. They braved the cold wind and worked hard. The hardworking workers didn’t know what was in the containers they were carrying. They only knew that if they didn’t go home during the new year and stayed on the freighter to work overtime, they would get double their salary.
It was difficult to earn money, especially for people who could only rely on their strength to work. It was even harder for them. They could still use their strength now and earn as much as they could. When they were old, they wouldn’t be able to earn money like this anymore.
Listening to the sound of the containers being lifted, Ye Jian approached carefully. She planned to go near the cabin to see if there were any discoveries.
There were people in the cabin who looked outside from time to time before sitting back down. There were a total of eight people in the cabin. They were all wearing the work clothes of the crew, but they were not the staff on the ship. Their backs were tense, and their muscles were buff. Their eyes were filled with bloodlust.
The time was 12 o’clock. A cell phone vibrated. A man immediately pressed the answer button and placed the cell phone to his ear. He only said a simple ‘hello’.
The person on the other end spoke in a low voice. The conversation was short. It lasted for at least ten seconds.
The man who answered the phone nodded and replied, “Okay, I understand.”
The atmosphere in the cabin was a little tense because of the man’s voice. They were all waiting for the call. Now that the call came, what were the next arrangements?
The next step was to sail on time.
“Tell the brothers outside that the boss has chosen to board the freighter at sea. Once the goods are loaded, we’ll set sail.” The man ended the call and glanced at everyone on the freighter. “The appearance of the four thieves made the boss change his route at the last minute. The boss is already very angry.
“If there are any more problems, all of us will go back and receive our punishment.”
He spoke in pure English. Everyone could understand him.
Someone walked out of the cabin. Unexpectedly, Ye Jian saw that the workers were working much faster now. The shouts got louder. There didn’t seem to be enough time.
Ye Jian was wearing an ill-fitting security officer uniform. She lowered her head and walked past a staff member. Then, she passed through two containers and started walking toward the stern of the freighter.
She walked at a moderate speed, just like an ordinary security officer who didn’t attract anyone’s attention.
There were too many staff members on the ship. Not everyone knew each other.
After walking past the container area, Ye Jian thought for a moment and turned on the intercom again. From time to time, faint static could be heard from the intercom. Other than that, there was no other movement. After a few minutes, the intercom was still as quiet as before.
This time, Ye Jian didn’t turn off the intercom. She lowered the volume to the lowest level to see if she could get any clues from the intercom.
