"I thought about it and decided not to leave, the fuel was stolen yesterday, we have to catch them."
Lin Yi smiled and said:
"It’s not easy working out here, we’ve got to catch them."
"You’re right about that, don’t sleep tonight, keep an eye out."
"You don’t need to worry about that."
"You think I’m really that free? Who has ti to worry about your stuff?"
Ma Xiaolong, with a cigarette in his mouth, said:
"Keep an eye out yourself, I won’t lose anything anyway."
With his hands behind his back and humming a little tune, Ma Xiaolong leisurely went elsewhere.
Soon, another truck ca by and he eagerly went up to it.
Sitting in the car, Lin Yi watched his back.
Always felt this guy didn’t seem like a normal security guard.
Normal guards wouldn’t dare to be this arrogant.
Even with gray inco, they would be much more low-profile.
But this guy felt more like a thug wearing a security uniform.
The new truck driver seed to know the drill here.
Without saying much, Ma Xiaolong scanned 200 yuan over.
After receiving the money, Ma Xiaolong left, satisfied.
Continuing to wander around the parking lot.
Just like that, ti passed by the minute.
Soon, it was the early hours of the morning.
Lin Yi prepared to pack up and go down to sleep.
anwhile, Chen Yuying’s ssage ca through.
"Are you sure you don’t need our help?"
"No need, just get a good night’s sleep."
"Make sure to stay safe."
"Got it."
After a simple reply, Lin Yi didn’t respond further.
He took the mat from the car and went down to lay it out.
After a simple setup, Lin Yi rested.
Though it’s not as comfortable as a big bed, compared to when he’s on a mission, the conditions are better by leaps and bounds.
Soon, faint snoring could be heard.
Lin Yi fell asleep too.
anwhile, Ma Xiaolong was patrolling the parking lot.
Noted down all the cars that hadn’t paid parking fees.
At this mont, he spotted Lin Yi sleeping by the fuel tank.
"This kid, quite amusing."
Ma Xiaolong wore a mocking smile.
Then he walked away with a flashlight.
By now it was past one in the morning.
Ma Xiaolong road to a small road, where a dirty little truck was parked not far away.
On it was a particularly large plastic barrel, covered in sticky black gunk, just a glance would make one sick.
With a cigarette in his mouth, Ma Xiaolong approached the truck.
Inside sat two people, one shirtless, the other wearing a sleeveless vest.
Their skin was dark and shiny, muscles well-defined.
The one in the driver’s seat was nad Zhu Chunquan, and the one in the passenger seat was Niu Shangxi.
They had been up to petty theft since childhood.
A few years back, they discovered the road to riches through fuel theft and started this line of work.
Seeing Ma Xiaolong approaching, the man in the driver’s seat rolled down the window.
"How’s it tonight, how many cars didn’t pay the parking fee?"
"Three in total, you only need to steal from two, but one of the cars has Hengchi Transport written on it, you must steal from them."
"Why? You got a grudge against them or sothing?"
With a cigarette, Zhu Chunquan said:
"Seems like we stole from their company’s car just yesterday, wouldn’t be too good to steal from them again today."
"Just do it, they need a reminder of what the real world’s like."
"Calling them out like that, I reckon they’ve pissed you off, huh."
"They blatantly challenged , need to teach them a lesson."
"Alright, if Brother Long says so, we’ve got to give face, wait for my news."
"I’m heading back, you two get ready and act, it’s about ti."
"Alright."
After giving his instructions, Ma Xiaolong left.
"Brother Quan, that Hengchi Transport seems like a company, if we steal from them twice in a row, what if they co after us?"
"Nothing we can do, Brother Long runs things around here, if he says the word, we’ve got to respect it."
Zhu Chunquan said:
"But after this hit, we shouldn’t target them again. Gotta stick to so gangster rules at least."
"I was thinking the sa."
"Alright, enough thinking, get ready quick, bring the tools, don’t delay the job."
"Got it."
The two prepared a bit in the truck.
Took out the tools they used last night.
Then quietly drove to the parking lot.
The service area was now silent and deserted.
Only the chirping of insects and birds from the flower beds.
Using the license plate info provided by Ma Xiaolong, they quickly found Lin Yi’s car.
"This kid sleeps too soundly, even snoring," Niu Shangxi chuckled.
"He’s inexperienced, not like those old drivers with high alertness."
"Do we even need to take action? Can’t we just steal?"
"Better to be safe, can’t afford to screw up."
"I know."
Niu Shangxi took out a rather dirty towel and poured so ether on it.
Carefully approached Lin Yi.
Holding the towel, Niu Shangxi stood over Lin Yi.
Gently placed it over his face.
After about a minute, Niu Shuangxi lightly tapped Lin Yi.
Finding no reaction, he gestured towards Zhu Chunquan.
"Brother Quan, he’s out cold."
"Alright, you handle the other one, I’ll start with the fuel."
"Okay."
The two had worked together for many years, knowing precisely what to do and when.
Niu Shangxi grabbed the tools and prepared to leave.
Just then!
Suddenly feeling a tightness in his arm, he found his arm was grabbed.
Niu Shangxi instantly panicked and quickly turned to look at Lin Yi.
Lin Yi slowly sat up from the ground.
"I’ve been waiting for you all night, don’t rush off."
Niu Shangxi was flustered.
Zhu Chunquan, who was ready to steal the fuel, also panicked.
Despite drugging him, he could still wake up, catching them both off guard.
But Zhu Chunquan reacted swiftly.
He pulled out a knife from his pocket, pointing it at Lin Yi.
"You better let go, or I’ll kill you."
They didn’t care about stealing oil anymore.
The only goal now was to save themselves and leave ASAP.
Lin Yi also drew a knife from his side.
"You can try, see who kills who first."
Seeing Lin Yi’s knife, Zhu Chunquan hesitated a bit.
He realized he was facing a tough opponent this ti.
The ferocity in his bones burst out at this mont.
Zhu Chunquan charged at Lin Yi with the knife.
"You’ve got guts, but using it on cri is wasting your talent."
Lin Yi raised his arm to grab Zhu Chunquan’s wrist.
With a quick twist, dislocating it, making the knife drop to the ground.
With a thudding punch!
Right to his face!
Zhu Chunquan cried out in pain.
Lin Yi’s knife was now against his throat.
"Scream one more ti, and I’ll stab you!"
