Chapter 859: Failure to Capture the King!
"Sir."
Skinny Monkey walked out of the cabin with a smile, his eyes filled with coldness and murderous intent as he looked at Xiao He.
"Could you explain why Mr. Bao suddenly changed his mind on the phone earlier, saying that they never sent any other members of the Bao family to replace Bao Wenyin?"
When he received the call, Skinny Monkey already had a bad feeling.
Especially after he continued to call Wensa on the Xiang Sheng and found that Wensa was still out of contact, he became even more convinced that there was something wrong with the person on their ship.
Although we don't know who this guy is, it's clear he came prepared, and it's not a power struggle within the Bao family; he has another purpose.
—They were so close, they almost got all their goods swindled onto the Xiang Sheng ship by this guy.
At this moment, Skinny Monkey didn't care whether the Bao family knew about this matter or whether Old Boss Bao had been turning a blind eye and pretending to be stupid from beginning to end, but he would definitely not let this person in front of him go!
As soon as the skinny monkey revealed Xiao He's suspicious identity, dozens of dark gun barrels were instantly pointed directly at the person standing in the middle.
What no one expected was that Xiao He, who had already sensed something, was even faster than the gun barrel.
By the time the others reacted and raised their guns, the black jacket had already been thrown at their faces. Some instinctively tried to raise their guns to attack, but out of the corner of their eye, they saw Xiao He, who was even faster than them, leaving them only with his departing back.
Then several gunshots rang out.
"Everyone, grab him!"
Juedan's roar followed, and then all the armed thugs around rushed forward with their guns drawn.
At the same time, the skinny monkey roughly snatched the walkie-talkie from the person next to him and ordered the person on the other side to stop the crane.
All their cargo has now been transferred to the Xiang Sheng, and only this box in front of them has a chance of being salvaged. The situation is unclear, and they absolutely cannot let those guys on the ship continue to hoist it up!
In the end, it might really be all for naught!
Following the instructions of the skinny monkey, the container that had been hanging in mid-air began to return, slowly descending, preparing to return to their small cargo ship.
While dodging the hail of bullets that had been chasing him from behind, Xiao He looked up at the container that was about to fall back down, his brows furrowing slightly.
"This is going to be troublesome."
He murmured softly.
If the containers fall back onto the cargo ship, it means the other side once again has a large number of hostages.
This is a very troublesome matter for both those on the ship and the police who are arriving later.
The next moment, the walkie-talkie in the skinny monkey's hand emitted a sharp and piercing sound.
It seems there was some malfunction with the walkie-talkie, causing abnormal fluctuations in the audio, so the person on the other end could no longer be heard clearly, leaving only a piercing buzzing sound.
Then, to everyone's astonishment, the container that had begun to descend and was about to fall back onto the small cargo ship slowly rose again. In order to prevent the people on the ship from climbing onto the container and forcibly taking back the goods, the crane on the Xiang Sheng even began to slowly rotate, and finally turned in a different direction, so that the container was suspended on the sea surface, making it impossible for the people on the cargo ship to touch the container again.
So everyone could only watch helplessly as the containers carrying the last batch of goods moved further and further away from them, swaying and staggering as they made their way onto the deck of the Xiang Sheng.
"Damn it! What's wrong with them? Have the Bao family gone mad? Are they planning to double-cross us?"
Seeing this, Juedan and Shouhou almost gritted their teeth.
Thinking back to when they contacted Bao Xingsheng, Bao Xingsheng was quite certain that the person he sent was from the Bao family, but was only temporarily replacing Bao Wenyin to handle their business.
But now, in the blink of an eye, the other side has suddenly changed its tune, excluding this unknown guy on the ship from the Bao family's circle and directly denying that they sent such a person.
It's absolutely ridiculous. They claim to be on the same side as each other, but then deny it. As a result, they haven't received the final payment, but all the goods have already been transferred to Xiang Sheng Hao.
At this moment, Juedan seriously suspected that all of this was a staged performance by the Bao family.
How could this happen?
What exactly does the Bao family mean?
However, the Xiang Sheng was simply too big, and their small cargo ship was no match for it.
Even if they brought some firearms, it's hard to say what they could do directly to the Xiang Sheng, which is worth hundreds of millions.
Otherwise, with such a highly sought-after business as Xiang Sheng Hao, these people wouldn't be doing business; they would be outright robbing it.
So all the anger was transferred to that person—
The unknown creature had already darted behind several machines on the deck and disappeared completely into the darkness.
Darkness became their camouflage for committing crimes, and also the perfect tool for that guy to escape.
"Find them! Go find them all!"
While ordering the others to chase after Xiao He, Juedan rushed into the cabin, shouting, "I'm going to chop that guy into a human pig!"
And the direction he's heading now is the very office where he just put the money.
He needed to verify whether the box of money he had just received was genuine.
hateful!
However, no sooner had Juedan entered the cabin than someone grabbed him by the neck—
"Don't move—"
An unfamiliar voice came from beside my ear.
Who is this?
The dim lights inside the cabin were still flickering, while gunshots continued to ring out outside.
Juedan felt his neck being gradually tightened, and he began to have difficulty breathing.
Damn it! How many of them were there again?
Didn't those bodyguards already go back to the ship to get the money?
—Could it be that they secretly infiltrated their ship just now?
Juedan reacted very quickly. After realizing that the situation was not in his favor, he immediately threw himself backward, trying to throw the person against the wall behind him.
However, Officer Cheng Bei, who had already infiltrated the area and obtained a gun, was a seasoned veteran. Upon discovering that Jue Dan still had the intention to resist, he immediately drew his gun and fired a shot at Jue Dan's leg: "I'll say it again, don't move!"
At this moment, hesitation will lead to defeat, and pity will lead to death!
So he fired the shot without hesitation, and several other armed thugs who had come in a few steps later rushed into the room upon hearing the sound.
"Let go!"
Upon seeing this, the assailant immediately raised his gun to aim at them. Cheng Bei, however, swayed and hid behind Jue Dan, then raised his hand and fired, shattering the only chandelier in the cabin.
The room was plunged into darkness, with only the faint flashes of gunfire visible.
Screams and gunshots rang out again from outside the cabin!
A voice boomed from the darkness: "Don't move, or I'll kill your leader!"
But then, Xiao He, who had circled around from the other side, shouted a warning to the others before they could fire: "Brother Cheng, get out of the way! That guy isn't their leader!"
—The person who kept in touch with the Bao family from beginning to end was that skinny monkey who was by Juedan's side!
Xiao He originally thought that Jue Dan, who had been in contact with them, was the main person in charge of this transaction.
However, he still felt something was off, and the familiar scent that had been lingering in his nose seemed to have gone out of control, drifting away to other places.
It wasn't until he was on the deck just now, when he continued to scrutinize Juedan's clothes, that he suddenly realized what was going on.
Juedan wasn't the leader of this group!
To catch a thief, you must first catch his king, but they've chosen the wrong king!
