"Woo..." A long whistle sounded, and Liu Kuipeng looked at the familiar environment outside the window and let out a long sigh of relief.
Sun Yongning, who was standing next to Liu Kuipeng, looked at Xiaguan under the sunset and couldn't help but feel: "I'm finally back, and I can finally give an explanation to the shopkeeper."
"Well..." Lu Shaoting nodded sympathetically and said, "The time is earlier than expected. I just don't know if the shopkeeper came in advance."
"Don't worry! Look at the car driving out of the alley over there, it should be the shopkeeper and the others."
Hearing Sun Yongning's words, Liu Kuipeng and Lu Shaoting pointed in the direction and saw several cars driving out of the alley.
Seeing this situation, the two of them finally put aside the last worry in their hearts and looked at each other with relief on their faces.
"Let's go! Go to the room where the two of you go, it's time to start the official action."
Hearing Liu Kuipeng's words, Sun Yongning hesitated for a moment and then asked: "Old Liu, are those two guys really honest? Are you sure they won't mess around?"
Liu Kuipeng heard this and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have tested these two people many times along the way, but nothing happened.
Now it seems that although these two people are a little clever, they are just clever and will not cause any trouble."
After Liu Kuipeng finished speaking, he took the two of them to Shen Wenbin's room. All their men gathered on this floor and waited in the corridor outside the door, causing many passengers to take a few more glances.
But no one was looking for trouble. After all, in such a big battle, anyone who is not blind knows that these people are not easy to mess with. Who would make trouble for themselves?
After entering Shen Wenbin's room, the group waited for about ten minutes for other passengers to disembark. After they were almost gone, the group started to disembark.
On the pier, Zhong Heqing had already got out of the car and was waiting outside, peeping his head here and there anxiously, acting like a fool.
On the third floor of a building outside the pier, a few pairs of eyes were looking out, staring at the movements on the pier.
On another dock next to this dock, Cheng Dalin was patrolling with Zhang Xiaosi. He also noticed the movement here, ran behind a pile of cargo boxes, and peeked through the gap.
Shen Wenbin came down from the boat with a large number of people arrogantly. Zhong Heqing immediately nodded and bowed to greet him. Unexpectedly, he thought he was welcoming some important person.
Facing Zhong Heqing's compliment, Shen Wenbin looked arrogant, touching her casually and then withdrawing his hand, which was called disgust, and his acting was simply too good.
After dealing with Zhong Heqing for a few times, Shen Wenbin walked directly to the car. Zheng Mingchong and Liu Kuipeng immediately shook off Zhong Heqing, who was complimenting them, and followed him.
When Shen Wenbin came outside the best car, Zheng Mingchong immediately helped open the back door. As soon as Shen Wenbin got in the car, he immediately followed.
Liu Kuipeng went directly to the driver's seat, got out of the driver's seat, and replaced himself.
As for Zhong Heqing, he nodded and bowed, with a smile on his face, and got into the passenger seat. When he got into the car, he was so busy that he almost fell down.
The people with Liu Kuipeng also looked arrogant when facing others. They occupied all the back seats of other cars, leaving many other people to stay outside the cars.
On the third floor, Liu Daxiang said to a few people around him: "Notify the brothers and tell them to follow closely. You must not lose them."
"Yes..." Several people around him responded and turned around to go out.
"Let's go, Wen Bin, let's take the people we prepared to follow."
Yi Wenbin heard this and asked in confusion: "Old Liu, didn't they arrange people on the way back? Why should we follow them?"
"Sigh... I don't feel reassured. Let's go! Follow us and have an extra team of people to avoid being caught off guard by an accident along the way."
After saying that, Liu Daxiang didn't wait for Yi Wenbin to speak again, pulled Yi Wenbin and walked towards the door. Yi Wenbin had no choice but to follow.
On another pier, Cheng Dalin saw all the movements of Zhong Heqing and others just now.
"Xiaosi, take people aboard the boat and ask for the identities of those people just now."
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaosi replied with a look of embarrassment: "Brother, that ship belongs to a big company, we haven't established a relationship yet, and they won't disclose it based on our identities.
And those people just now looked not simple. Brother, let’s not provoke them! Otherwise..."
"What else?" Cheng Dalin turned his head and scolded: "When we do things for others, we must do it well. Don't let me hear you say such things again in the future. Do you understand?"
"Yes, yes, yes..." Cheng Dalin's reaction startled Zhang Xiaosi, and he quickly nodded in response.
Seeing this situation, Cheng Dalin put away the anger on his face and said in a much calmer tone: "Xiao Si, since you agreed to do things for others, you must do it well, otherwise what do you want us to do?
This is a task, we just have to do it well. As for the other things, we don’t need to worry about it. As long as we concentrate on doing things, someone will naturally help us deal with these things."
After listening to this, Zhang Xiaosi nodded his head repeatedly and said, "Brother, let me go and ask on the boat?"
Hearing this, Cheng Dalin waved his hand and said: "Forget it, since the joints haven't been opened yet, no one will reveal it when we go, so just write down the ship first and check it later!"
After saying that, Cheng Dalin glanced at the empty pier opposite, then turned around and led his men to continue patrolling the pier.
On the way from Xiaguan to the city, Zhong Heqing's motorcade was moving slowly, not to take care of those who were following it, but because there were so many people coming and going along the way, it was not going fast at all.
The streets of this era were originally meant for people to walk on, and there was no distinction between sidewalks and lanes. It was evening and work was finishing up, so there were naturally a lot of people.
Behind the motorcade, there were two groups of people riding rickshaws following, both from the bank. One group was closer, while Liu Daxiang followed from a distance.
After the convoy entered the city, there were a lot fewer people on the street, and the convoy moved faster. After all, Xiaguan is a dock area, which is relatively more prosperous than most places in the city.
When the convoy was approaching Zhong Heqing's compound, the car in the middle suddenly turned and drove in another direction. Several other cars hurriedly turned to follow.
The group of people following the motorcade were confused by this scene. In order to avoid being noticed, they had no choice but to continue walking in the previous direction.
Liu Daxiang and others who were following from a distance immediately changed direction and branched off into another street. They hurriedly and slowly caught up with the convoy at another intersection.
Looking at the motorcade in front of him, Yi Wenbin, whose heart was in his throat just now, finally breathed a sigh of relief, but now he did not dare to be careless. He slowed down decisively and fell far behind to prevent another accident.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly after that. When Liu Daxiang stopped in front of him, Yi Wenbin also stopped and quickly joined Liu Daxiang and others.
"Old Liu, where are you? Where have you gone?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Daxiang gestured to the building opposite and replied: "We're entering the Capital Hotel. Let's go! Find a place to look at."
After saying that, Liu Daxiang took a few people to find a restaurant nearby, asked for a private room that could see the Capital Hotel, and observed it carefully.
In the lobby of the Capital Hotel, Shen Wenbin was checking in.
Capital Hotel is one of the chain hotels built by China Travel Service, the largest travel agency in China during the Republic of China. As the headquarters here in Nanjing, it is naturally the largest and best.
As one of the best hotels in Nanjing at the time, the people who stayed there were either high-ranking officials, rich businessmen and celebrities, or important international tourists. This is why Zhong Heqing and others chose this hotel.
After all, they are not that cool, so it would always be a little strange to register their names with their pretended identities.
Shen Wenbin directly opened four high-end suites for him and his subordinates. The price made Zhong Heqing, who was rushing to pay, feel a twinge of pain.
After the registration was completed, except for Zhong Heqing, everyone else who went to greet him today was kicked out. However, they did not leave, but found other places to stay in the surrounding area.
In the private room of the restaurant, watching the movements of Zhong Heqing's men, Liu Daxiang frowned and said, "Wen Bin, is there any way to get the hotel registration?"
Yi Wenbin heard this and said: "This is a bit difficult, the registration form is at the front desk, and there are people at the front desk all day long, so it is unrealistic to steal it.
It’s best to start from within, but in a place like this, it’s very troublesome to bribe the people inside, so you need to have connections to start.”
After Yi Wenbin finished speaking, a person next to him said: "Brother Liu, Brother Yi, I have a relative there who should be able to help."
"Oh, tell me..."
"Yes, that person is not far from my house and is somewhat related to my family. He is checking the phone at the front desk of the Capital Hotel. He should be able to access the guest registration form.
However, he found this job with great difficulty and the pay was very good. If he wanted to do this job, not only would the price be high, but it would also take time to convince him.
Fortunately, his brother is a gambler. He owed a lot of debt some time ago and is being collected by people everywhere. If the price is right, I am confident that he can get rid of these people."
Yi Wenbin heard this and said: "Okay, price is not an issue. Find him quickly and be sure to ask those people about their situation."
"Yes..." The man responded and hurriedly walked towards the door, but after walking a few steps, he turned back.
"Why don't you go? Is there any problem?"
"Uh... um... Brother Liu, that person is working the evening shift today and should have arrived at the hotel by this time.
I can't get into the restaurant with this outfit, how about Brother Liu give me some money and I can change my outfit and go find him again?"
"In the hotel?" Liu Daxiang frowned, thought for a moment, and said: "Forget it, since we are in the hotel, let's wait until people get off work before looking for him. If we go to the hotel now, we might alert others."
"But...Brother Liu..."
Seeing this man hesitating, Liu Daxiang scolded him: "If you have anything to say, just say it. Don't hesitate for me."
"Yes, yes..." The man responded quickly and explained: "Brother Liu, my relative works the whole night shift, from sunset to tomorrow morning, and then rests all day and night.
If the persuasion cannot be successful tonight, we will have to wait until the day after tomorrow, and we may not be able to get the registration status."
After listening to this, Liu Daxiang frowned and thought carefully for a while, then said: "Let's wait, we don't want this thing urgently, we can't scare the snake away."
After Liu Daxiang finished speaking, Yi Wenbin, who was observing, said: "Old Liu, someone has come out again, do you want to follow him?"
"Follow..." After Liu Daxiang finished speaking, he led a group of people downstairs quickly and followed the car coming out of the hotel.
