Tong Dakui came out of a rice shop with a bag of flour on his shoulders.
"Brother Dakui, brother Dakui!" Li Aiguo shouted repeatedly.
Tong Dakui stopped and said, "Brother Li, why are you here?"
"What are you doing?"
"Buy noodles."
"Silly brother, I know you buy noodles, but why don't you hire a car to save yourself the trouble?"
"It's okay, I'll be home in a minute."
Li Aiguo pointed to the grocery store on the street and said, "Go back quickly, I'll wait for you there."
Tong Dakui: "What are you waiting for me to do?"
Li Aiguo patted his pocket and said with a mysterious smile: "Brother is rich, I will take you to taste what authentic Yuntu tastes like!"
Tong Dakui shook his head repeatedly and said: "I won't go, you can go alone... Oh, no, you'd better not go, just quit if you can!"
"Dakui, don't be afraid. The opium shop we went to this time is owned by Jia Baye's brother-in-law. The police station has taken care of it, so no one will check it!"
"Then I won't go either. I swore to Mr. Jiang that I would never touch tobacco again."
Li Aiguo thought for a while and said, "Well, if you don't want to go, I won't go. Let's find a place to have a drink!"
Seeing that Tong Dakui was still hesitating, Li Aiguo sighed and said, "Brother, you don't want to give me any face?"
Tong Dakui had no choice but to say, "Okay, just wait for me and I'll send the flour back."
Li Aiguo immediately beamed and said, "This is what we call friends! ... Hurry up!"
Back home, Tong Dakui brought the flour into the kitchen and said to Little Button: "If the lady asks, just say that I went out to eat with my friends and will come back later."
Little Button said worriedly: "Brother Dakui, you must not fight with others. The lady was so anxious that she died last time."
"I know." Tong Dakui went back to the wing, changed some clothes, and walked out of the yard.
Li Aiguo stretched his neck and looked forward to it. When he saw Tong Dakui finally appeared, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Brother, if you don't come out, I will freeze into a popsicle!"
Tong Dakui: "Where are we going?"
“It’s not far, you’ll know when you get there!”
The two of them walked eastward along the street.
"Dakui, thank you for what happened last time, brother."
"Why do you thank me? Thanks to Mr. Jiang."
"That's because you spoke for me, otherwise Captain Jiang wouldn't have been able to fish me out." Li Aiguo was very self-aware and knew that Jiang Xinyu didn't have a good impression of him.
Tong Dakui thought for a while and praised: "Patriot, you have a quick mind and your guesses are really accurate!"
"What?"
"At the 18th Street Police Station, you asked me to call the lady and tell her that Mr. Jiang was coming, and he actually came!"
Li Aiguo smiled and said: "You said this, with the relationship between Captain Jiang and Miss Tong, they will definitely help!"
After talking, the two came to the door of a house, and Li Aiguo said: "We're here!"
Tong Dakui has been to many places in Yanjin for so long, but he has never been here before. He said: "This is a restaurant? Why is there no signboard?"
Li Aiguo looked around and said in a low voice: "This is Jia Baye's brother-in-law's opium shop! When we have had enough, we can go to a restaurant to eat!"
Tong Dakui lowered his face, turned around and left.
Li Aiguo quickly stopped him and said, "You're already here, why are you leaving in such a hurry!"
"I said, I won't touch tobacco again. I'm a man and I will keep my word!"
"No one is forcing you to smoke. Why don't you come with me and stay at the head office for a while? How can you wait outside in such a cold weather?"
Tong Dakui thought about it, and Li Aiguo was right. As long as he didn't touch the smoke, it wouldn't be considered a violation of his oath. It was also good to go in and drink a cup of hot water to warm himself up.
The reason why he roped in Tong Dakui was because Li Aiguo had his own wishful thinking. If something happened, with Tong Dakui here, he wouldn't be afraid that Jiang Xinyu wouldn't help!
…………
At night.
White River Pier.
Several plainclothes men came over, came to the duty booth, and said, "We are from the Inspection Office. Open the No. 2 storage door for a routine inspection!"
It was Lao Wu who was on duty in the evening. He said, "Let's take a look at their IDs."
The leader's plainclothes eyes widened, he opened his coat, revealing the short gun at his waist, and said: "I didn't bring my ID, so I brought this!"
The people working in the dock are all tactful and know who they can and cannot mess with. Lao Wu said politely: "But the No. 2 warehouse is empty. What do you want to check?"
"Empty ones?" Several plainclothes men looked at each other and said, "Open the empty ones too!"
Lao Wu didn't argue anymore, got up, took a bunch of keys, and led the plainclothes men to Warehouse No. 2.
There is a small door on the warehouse door to facilitate personnel entry and exit.
The plainclothes people filed in through the small door and looked around with flashlights. There were moisture-proof wooden rafts piled on the ground. There was indeed no cargo.
These plainclothes men were all Zhou Junchen's subordinates, and they pretended to be people from the Inspection Office. They called it a routine inspection, but they were actually here to confirm whether the goods existed.
After the plainclothes men withdrew, Lao Wu returned to his post, picked up the phone, dialed a series of numbers, and said, "Brother, I am Lao Wu."
"What's the matter?" Hang Laokan's voice was on the other end of the phone.
"Some people from the Inspection Office came just now and said it was a routine inspection."
"Inspection Office? Impossible! Have you seen their IDs?"
"No. These people all carry guns, and each one is more aggressive than the other!"
"It's okay, just hold them steady and I'll be there right away!"
"You don't need to come. They checked the No. 2 warehouse and found that there was nothing in it. They all left in despair."
"Yeah, luckily I saved a hand..." Hang Laokan murmured.
Lao Wu warned and said: "Brother, these people come here with bad intentions. They seem to be here for that batch of goods!"
"I got it. Stay alert for the night shift!"
"Don't worry, there will be no problem at all!"
After hanging up the phone, Hang Laokan also felt a wave of fear. He knew better than anyone else that the people in the inspection office were well organized and there was no way they would suddenly come to investigate him.
Zhou Junchen's men were defeated because Hang Laokan played a trick!
The cargo manifest stated that it was Warehouse No. 2, but in fact the goods were stored in Warehouse No. 4. After all, there were many people on the dock and there was no way to ensure absolute confidentiality of the information.
After so many years on the dock, Hanglaokan can still remain standing. Without a few moments, it would be impossible to do this!
In addition to taking care of everything, he also understands the principle of three burrows, especially for this kind of shady business, so he is ten times more careful!
I heard from Lao Wu that these people all carry guns. Are they from the police station?
Don't be afraid of the people in the police station. They are just here to make money. They are easy to deal with and you can get by with just a little money.
I'm afraid it's the military commanders. If they are targeted, it's no joke. This batch of goods must be transported away as soon as possible!
Hang Laokan thought about it, but still felt uneasy. He picked up the phone and dialed Jiang Xinyu's home number. He wanted to confirm his guess!
