"Here they co, hey, unload quickly! Mr. Li's goods need to be loaded onto the truck as soon as possible."
Finally, they saw land.
The tons of tea and other exported dostic items brought by Li Yunchang were also delivered to various sales points by logistics.
Many industry bosses who ordered goods from Li Yunchang extended invitations, hoping he could grace them with his presence for a al or sothing.
Originally, Li Yunchang wasn't here for business talks; he wanted to accompany his wife for so leisurely walks, to enjoy and make up for lost ti... Also, there was the matter Xiaofan had asked him to handle.
Over nine months, it was nothing but sea after sea. Finally catching sight of land, Xiaofan had to confine himself in a dark wooden box.
For those with claustrophobia, being locked in a wooden box would be unbearable. After all, isn't a wooden box just like a coffin?
"Bring the goods over here."
"These haven't been checked yet."
"These are our special items; no need to check. Here's my proof."
Indeed, Dalke's goods had the effect of being exempt from inspection. Once at the port, they just had to wait for people at the designated warehouse.
"Miss Leng Yue, please try to stay calm. I've already booked rooms for you and Xiaofan. I've told Xiaofan the location, and he'll find you at the hotel after he cos out."
Leng Yue kept her eyes on the boxes being moved into the warehouse, her brow deeply furrowed. She knew his strength was formidable, yet she couldn't help but be concerned and worried.
"Thank you, Mr. Li. But I have other matters to attend to. Please give the address first; I'll go there personally in a couple of days." Yes, Leng Yue's task was to keep an eye on Dalke, to prevent him from backing out at the last mont.
And as for Dalke, he was indeed very conflicted.
This ti was different from the past. Every ti before, he demanded money arrogantly. But this ti, except for Ye Xiaofan, the boxes were filled with dead people—it was inevitable they would be discovered, aning after this, there would be no chance to collaborate with them again.
Whether or not to collaborate didn't matter; what mattered was surviving.
If Ye Xiaofan, locked in the box, was discovered, it would be a dead end. If he died, there was no way Dalke and his brothers could survive either. Even if Ye Xiaofan survived and promised to let them go, they've deceived people from M Country, which wouldn't end well for them.
So, Dalke could only pray that Ye Xiaofan would co back quickly, remove the silver needles from their body, and that they would flee M Country, never to return to this accursed place.
"What's going on? Why are there only a few people?" The receiver expressed confusion about the few followers behind Dalke when taking the goods.
"Oh, tis are tough now; having a few people is good enough. Look, there are twenty in total. After counting, pay up. Ten thousand US Dollars each, totaling two hundred thousand."
"Hmm, open the boxes..."
"This..." Hearing the request to open the boxes, Dalke beca tense. Inside were his recently deceased subordinates; if discovered, it would be disastrous for him.
"Co on, we've partnered so many tis; hurry up, I'm on a tight schedule here."
"Relax, it won't take much of your ti."
As he spoke, the counterpart opened the first box right in front of Dalke.
Dalke and his brothers exchanged worried glances; their guns had long been confiscated by Xiaofan, and the warehouse was surrounded by Federation Bureau mbers. If anything went wrong, they wouldn't stand a chance.
'Thud thud.'
The pried-off plank fell to the ground. Inside the box, sure enough, lay a man.
As the light flooded in, the man's body slightly shifted.
Seeing the man move, Dalke and the others let out a heavy sigh of relief. As it turned out, the one lying in the first opened box was Xiaofan.
However, this wasn't a coincidence. It was pre-arranged by Xiaofan to ensure that the box containing him would be placed at the front.
It was a gamble, hoping that the other party would stop checking after inspecting the first box.
"Are you done yet?" Dalke feigned impatience.
"Hmm, give him two million US Dollars, and be sure to bring more people next ti," a Caucasian said slowly.
"It's really tough to find people nowadays; many of our brothers have been caught. The crackdown is intense. ntion it for , next ti it has to be an extra twenty thousand per person, otherwise, we can't do it."
"Alright, I'll bring it up to the higher-ups. Soone will contact you. Here's your two million. Pleasure doing business."
"Yes, pleasure doing business. We're leaving..."
This was because the Federation Bureau needed a large number of live test subjects, so they had to keep these people close.
In different places, there are different prices. For ordinary refugees from surrounding areas, one may not even reach thirty thousand US Dollars, but those who ca across the ocean quadrupled in value.
Of course, a successful specin would bring them huge profits. M Country is known as the fighting nation; a successful breed on the battlefield, unaffected by bullets, would have unimaginable destructive power.
Not long after Dalke and the others left, the Federation Bureau mbers, all dressed in black and wearing sunglasses, quickly loaded the goods. Five cars and a truck swiftly left the port warehouse.
On the ship, Leng Yue observed it all through binoculars, wanting badly to follow but, due to Xiaofan's earlier instructions, she instead focused her binoculars on Dalke and his n.
These guys didn't dare to run carelessly, ultimately only obediently returning to the ship. After all, their lives were still tightly held in Xiaofan's hands.
'Knock knock knock knock.'
After about three hours, the shaking truck finally ca to a stop.
Xiaofan felt his box lifted by sothing and then gently set down, soon to be parked sowhere.
The outside wasn't noisy, but Xiaofan could clearly feel the place was heavily guarded.
From their conversations, he learned that the batch of new live test subjects wouldn't be released until the next day. By then, the effects of the anesthetic would have worn off, and the new test subjects would be fed before being caged.
So, Xiaofan's judgnt was correct. During disembarkation, place his box in the first position, on top. Firstly, to prevent discoveries of dead bodies during inspection, and secondly, during reloading, his box would be the first in and, when unloaded, appear in the outermost position again.
At night, when everything was quiet, Xiaofan effortlessly kicked open the wooden box and successfully sneaked into M Country's research base.
