Chapter 858: Leaked Ahead! Danger is Imminent!
Soon the deck became busy.
The crane on the Xiang Sheng ship was lowered, and the crew began to move the remaining containers. After the crane hook was lowered, the criminals would climb up and hook the hook into the container's lifting device, and then signal the crane on the other side to move it.
As the machines opposite operated, the first container was swayed and rocked as it was transported to the deck of the Xiang Sheng.
Then came the second, the third...
Everything went very smoothly.
The group of people were already experienced, and they loaded and unloaded goods very quickly. They became even more enthusiastic after a large box of money was hung in front of them.
In the end, even Xiao He and Jue Dan stood on the deck themselves, watching these people busily working.
"Oh, right."
Standing on the deck, facing the sea breeze, Xiao He crossed his arms and asked casually.
"Your first batch of goods looks to be of very good quality. Where did you get all these people?"
This question touched on some trade secrets, so Juedan didn't answer. He just smoked his cigar and said with a smile, "If this young master Bao likes it, then we can continue to do business next time."
Xiao He narrowed his eyes.
This person's mouth is surprisingly tight.
His gaze swept over Juedan again, lingering on Juedan's seemingly casual short-sleeved shirt, shorts, and flip-flops before noting down a few particularly noteworthy features.
-
At the same time, someone finally noticed the unusual situation on the lower level.
Upon hearing the news from his subordinates, the man leaning back on the large sofa in his room swirled the wine in his glass, a hint of amusement finally appearing on his face.
"Where are the others?"
"They're all in their own rooms."
"interesting."
The person murmured softly.
The three organizers were all holed up in their rooms, pretending not to hear or care.
Who orchestrated and guided this dangerous farce?
"They're all up to something," the man said with amusement. "Since no one else is willing to come out, I'll just add fuel to the fire."
"Oh no—I'm too late."
Seemingly remembering something else, he continued.
"It seems someone has already made the first move."
But what does it have to do with them?
He's so impulsive.
"Go tell Zheng Ji to take action."
As he finished speaking, the person on the sofa tilted his head back and drank the red wine in his glass, and with his movement, the light shone directly on his face—
He Luojie, the head of the He family, may have an ordinary appearance, but because he is young, promising, and successful, and is the first among the younger generation to take power, his innate composure and elegance make his appearance less ordinary and give him a unique aura of a leader.
At this moment, his casual remark was destined to completely stir up a huge uproar in the Xiang Sheng Company, which had just settled down.
As for those who hide in the shadows and engage in underhanded tactics...
Destined to be implicated—
...
The bottom line is completely out of control.
A large number of young pregnant women, dressed in thin clothing and walking unsteadily, suddenly appeared on the Xiang Sheng.
They clutched their stomachs and pleaded for help in anguish. One of them was in even worse condition; when she collapsed to the ground, there was a large pool of blood on the spot.
Although it was the early hours of the morning, the revelry was clearly not over yet, with many guests still strolling around the most bustling floors.
So when those out-of-place young women appeared in these places, almost everyone noticed that something was wrong.
Especially when they saw the young girl who had started to bleed, some unsuspecting guests felt pity for her and began to gather around her, calling on the ship's doctor to examine her.
Instantly, fear, anger, excitement, curiosity, and panic over the unknown event ignited the entire Xiang Sheng!
Upon receiving the news, Bao Wenyin hurriedly ran up to the upper floors to check. When he saw people surrounding the escapees, his face turned deathly pale.
Finally, his legs couldn't support his weight, and Bao Wenyin fell straight to his knees on the cold ground.
All the screams, shouts, and curses became the clarion call of his doom.
The next moment, he turned and ran.
"Where is my father? Where is he? I want to see my father!"
He could no longer hide the truth about the lucky charm!
Only his father can save him now!
Who is he doing all this for?
He did it all for the Bao family!
...
The Xiang Sheng ship was in complete chaos.
First, a large number of pregnant women, whom no one had ever seen before, emerged from the lower decks and appeared before everyone.
Then a large number of Bao family security personnel came out and conducted a large-scale search of the entire ship for the pregnant woman.
Finally, security personnel from the He and Dong families also appeared and boarded the ship, and then joined them in the operation.
No one knows what their purpose is in seeking out these pregnant women.
Is the goal to suppress information, or to find incriminating evidence?
Or perhaps they see others suffering and genuinely want to lend a helping hand?
Nobody knows.
Some guests sensed the danger and returned to their rooms, intending not to get involved in the conflict. Others, however, had already formed strong and reliable relationships with others and were eager to lend a hand, hoping to gain some benefit from the incident.
Of course, many more people are still unaware of this crisis.
They were still indulging in the night's revelry, recklessly squandering money, time, and reason under the influence of nicotine and alcohol.
Thus, Xiang Sheng Hao was completely split into two entirely different worlds at this moment—
Yet few people truly care about whether those people live or die.
No one cared about the lives of the people on the other ship.
-
When the phone in his pocket suddenly started to heat up, Xiao He instantly realized that they had been exposed.
The truth can no longer be hidden.
He looked up at the last container hanging on the hook, silently praying.
Faster, faster, even faster—
As long as these people can safely board the Xiang Sheng, then someone will surely protect them.
Because at this point, it's no longer just the Bao family's business.
Those containers that suddenly appeared on the deck were filled with evil and evidence of their crimes.
The Bao family was not of one mind; Bao Xingsheng wanted to give up on Bao Wenyin from the very beginning.
Meanwhile, the He family, the Dong family, and others have been eyeing the situation covetously.
Therefore, Xiao He was certain that when faced with so many victims, they would be afraid to take action.
On the contrary, they will do everything in their power to protect these people.
If only they could move a little faster, this last group of people—
However, at that moment, the crane suddenly stopped operating, and the last container was left suspended in mid-air.
The person who was originally directing the crane operation with the walkie-talkie seemed to have heard something, and his expression suddenly changed.
Juedan, who had been standing next to Xiao He, suddenly walked away from Xiao He's side.
In the shadows, the gunman gripped the handle of his gun tightly once more.
—It seems the wind is picking up again at sea.
Xiao He blew on his slightly messy hair, lost in thought.
The sea won't be calm tonight.
