Lao Cao didn't say much and just said, "Let's lead the way."
The three people who came to greet them led the way around the island, and soon the group arrived at Jishi Organization's transfer station on Changqing Island.
Facing a row of bungalows, standing outside was a middle-aged man wearing an extra-long cotton coat. He was very tall, nearly two meters tall, and so big that he looked like a mountain standing there.
"Boss Cao, thank you for your hard work," the person who greeted him bowed slightly.
"Wang Jian, if we don't say polite words in this family, let's go in and talk," Lao Cao walked towards the house.
Wang Jian made an invitation gesture to Fan Xuewu and Shu Xingbei, and followed Lao Cao.
"What's going on?" Lao Cao started to ask after he sat down.
"Three months ago, we received a message from Mi Island, saying that the two tons of rice we ordered were ready for shipment. As usual, they shipped the ship, and we also had people escorting it. At the same time, Yunlai and I also
After dividing the work, I will guard here while Yun Lai takes a group of people to respond. The cargo ships coming from Mi Island have always been the focus of pirate plunder, and there has never been real peace. Who would have thought that after Yun Lai left,
We lost contact with him," Wang Jian recounted the whole story.
"Then did you find the other party? Which ship did they say transported the goods? What was the destination of that ship? Did you reach the destination successfully?" Lao Cao asked with burning eyes.
"The destination of the red lady's ship is Changqing Island. But the other party said that because our goods were short, they had picked up other goods and it would take some time to deliver them. So they entrusted other ships to transport them. According to them, that ship
The transport ship has arrived at Changqing Island a long time ago," Wang Jian said and frowned.
When Lao Cao heard this, he also frowned, "Red Lady's ship? Does the Mi Island side also know about the transportation?"
"I know. They testified that it is indeed true. The ship that transported them was Mo Lao Diao's. But I have inquired from the dock. Not to mention the past two months, even the past six months, no Mo Lao Diao ship has come.
"Wang Jian replied.
"Tao Yun came to pick up the boat, which ship was it?" Lao Cao listened and felt that this matter was not simple, and there was something fishy about it from beginning to end.
"Of course the one that responded was the Red Lady's ship. Later, after we got the Red Lady to ask other ships to transport our goods, we contacted Tao Yunlai again, but we couldn't get in touch. Boss Cao also knew that the communicator was not available in the open sea.
Unable to contact," Wang Jian said, sighing deeply.
Lao Cao sat there and didn't speak for a long time.
"Boss Cao, after traveling for such a long time, let's eat first," Wang Jian suggested.
Lao Cao hummed.
After dinner, Wang Jian ordered his men to arrange accommodation for the three of them.
Fan Xuewu and Shu Xingbei followed Lao Cao on a mission, and of course they wanted to go to Lao Cao.
"You all heard it, what do you think?" Lao Cao asked.
Shu Xingbei is very unfamiliar with everything, so naturally he doesn't speak easily.
Fan Xuewu hesitated and said: "The most suspicious person is Mo Laodiao. Mo Laodiao should be investigated first."
Shu Xingbei felt a little strange. Why was there no doubt about the red lady?
"What about you? Tell me," Lao Cao asked Shu Xingbei.
Shu Xingbei expressed his doubts.
"Red Lady? Impossible," Fan Xuewu said before Lao Cao could speak, "You know
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
What does the red lady mean in the transport ships in this area? It means safety and trustworthiness. Why is she called the red lady? Her husband used to be a transporter, but he was robbed by pirates at sea and lost his life. The red lady for
To take revenge, I entangled the strong men in this area, found the island where the pirates were hiding, and went up to kill those gangs.
The pirates killed them all. There were more than 200 pirates, and they killed them for two days. It is said that after the killing, the blood on her clothes became sticky and thick. From then on, people called her the Red Lady. From then on, she was called the Red Lady.
The pirates in this area no longer wanted to encounter this crazy woman, so she continued to do transportation under the name Red Lady."
Lao Cao was not happy about Fan Xuewu's interruption. He asked Shu Xingbei to express his opinion, hoping to use a bystander's perspective to deal with the missing goods and missing people.
Two tons of rice are indeed worth a lot in terms of value. But there is also Tao Yunlai, a second-level warrior, and 14 people on the periphery. If this matter is not handled well, I am afraid that the goods in the organization will be lost frequently in the future.
The first time the goods went missing, the person who succeeded might have reported it with the idea of making a small profit and doing a test. If there was no reaction, the next time it would not be as simple as a test.
"First confirm the time when everything Wang Jian said happened, and then contact the Red Lady ship to check the time. If possible, you can also go to Mi Island, find the supplier, and check the time again with them. The three parties are here
Without knowing the inside story, there will always be discrepancies in time. So time will point to doubts," Shu Xingbei thought for a moment and gave his own thoughts.
Lao Cao couldn't help but his eyes lit up as he listened, "Yes, there is a way. Let Wang Jian tell the story again tomorrow. Shu Xingbei, you and Fan Xuewu both take note of it."
After Shu Xingbei and Fan Xuewu left, they went back to their rooms. They only practiced boxing for a while when there was a knock on the door.
A man with a sharp mouth and cheeks stood outside, looking at Shu Xingbei with a smile, "Brother, is this your first time on Changqing Island? Let's go, Brother Liu will take you out for a walk, and you will learn a lot."
Shu Xingbei was already somewhat curious about Changqing Island. If nothing else, the bright lights here were enough to shock him. You should know that in the houseboat area, he occasionally used headlamps for lighting at night. Most of the time
, he didn’t even want to use a headlamp.
As for the chaotic area, the lighting equipment is also a headlamp. But here, it is brightly lit.
There are wires on the walls of the room. From what Shu Xingbei learned from the book, generating electricity depends on energy or strong water flow. Is there a power station on Changqing Island?
Shu Xingbei followed Brother Liu out.
"Changqing Island has an area of 40,000 square kilometers and is a transit point for many forces. It is a mixed bag of good and bad people. No matter what you encounter, don't be aggressive. Keep a low profile and be careful." Brother Liu seemed to be worried about Shu Xingbei's young impulsiveness and warned him on the way.
road.
Shu Xingbei smiled lightly, "I will."
"Also, no matter what happens, don't give out the name of the organization. The organization has a special name to the outside world, called the Illuminati. When you encounter trouble, say it is from the Illuminati, and there is basically no problem on the island," Liu
Brother reminded again.
Shu Xingbei naturally nodded in agreement.
He just wanted to gain some knowledge and would not cause trouble.
When Shu Xingbei arrived at a place full of entertainment and entertainment, he couldn't help but feel frightened when he saw the crowds of people in the room and the shouting and shouting.
Compared to the houseboat area which is as quiet as death at night
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
, this place is truly a paradise on earth.
"Let's go to Brother Fan's table," Brother Liu led Shu Xingbei into the house. A wave of heat hit his face, making it almost impossible to imagine that it was still winter.
There were at least 30 tables in the room. People were gambling, drinking, and chatting enthusiastically. There was even a corner where two shirtless men were fighting each other with their fists. The waitresses were wearing naked clothes and holding their hands.
Plate, shuttle among the crowd.
"If you encounter a dispute, you can have a fair fight here. No matter you win or lose, you are not allowed to retaliate. At least you are not allowed to seek revenge on Changqing Island," Brother Liu reminded when he saw Shu Xingbei's eyes looking over there.
It can provide power, provide a venue for duels, and ensure fairness. There should be a big force sitting on Changqing Island. Shu Xingbei's eyes flashed, and he secretly speculated without saying a word.
After a while, Brother Liu brought Shu Xingbei to the table where Fan Xuewu was sitting. In addition to Fan Xuewu, there were four other people sitting at the table. All of them had rosy faces, and their bodies exuded a pungent smell.
Seeing Shu Xingbei coming over, Fan Xuewu shouted loudly: "Xingbei, come and meet all the brothers. These are Brother Niu, Brother Zheng, Brother Huang, and Brother Bai."
"Shu Xingbei has met all of you, big brothers," Shu Xingbei bowed towards them.
"Two more glasses of wine," Brother Niu waved to the waitress.
"Old Niu, you are too polite," Fan Xuewu patted Brother Niu on the shoulder.
"Isn't this one more brother?" Brother Niu said as if he didn't care. He took out two yellow round coins and put them on the waiter's tray.
The waitress picked up a small wine bottle and put it on the table.
"Come on, brother Shu, let's have a taste," Brother Niu, who was big and round, picked up the wine bottle, poured a small cup for Shu Xingbei, and pushed it over.
Shu Xingbei picked up the wine glass, raised his neck, and drank.
A heat ignited from his throat, burning all the way to his heart. He couldn't help but cough out. At this moment, the blood in his body seemed to be burning, and his face suddenly felt hot.
Feel.
Shu Xingbei put down his wine glass, his hands trembling a little.
Several people looked at Shu Xingbei and were happy to see Shu Xingbei's red ears.
"It's the first time I've had a drink. It's like this." Brother Niu waved his hand, "Drink some more?"
Shu Xingbei waved his hand. Although he didn't know what the two yuan coins that Brother Niu paid were, he was sure they were worth a lot.
"Brother Shu won't drink, then let me enjoy it," Brother Liu pushed his cup to Brother Niu with a playful smile.
"Old Liu, you are too shameless. Brother Niu paid out three of the seven gold coins, but you didn't pay a single penny and drank more than anyone else. If you hadn't been asked to pick up your brother, I would have
The gold coin you spent is enough to wet your throat," Brother Zheng pushed away Brother Liu's wine glass.
"More, I think Brother Shu will drink it," Brother Liu was not angry at all and pushed the glass over again.
"I'm not having much fun. So, I also have three coins. Let's go over there and try my luck?" Fan Xuewu took out three coins.
"It's better not to go there. How many gold coins can you earn in a year? Instead of going there and wasting money, you might as well use it to buy another three taels of wine," Brother Zheng dissuaded.
Fan Xuewu didn't listen to the advice at all, stood up and walked towards the gambling table.
