Chapter 36 Exciting Night
Inside the Su family garbage dump in Zhanan.
Su Tianyu led the team, including Kong Zhenghui, Bai Hongbo, Su Tianbei, and other core members of the family. Since this was their first time working together, everyone was quite serious and fully committed.
After studying the delivery route, they were ready to set off. However, before leaving, Wu Shixiong, who had not gone home that night, approached Su Tianyu alone: "Little... little brother Yu... there's work tonight, right?"
Wu Shixiong usually didn't like to go home, even if he finished work early at night and had nothing else to do, he was willing to stay in the garbage dump, sometimes even staying there overnight.
Su Tianyu glanced at him and asked, "Who told you that?"
"At noon, I heard from third sister," Wu Shixiong said with a simple smile. "Can you take me with you?"
"This job is a bit dangerous, we're going to pick up goods at sea."
"I... I'll be fine... if you can do it, I can do it too. I'm not afraid of hard work, I want to earn more money," Wu Shixiong replied enthusiastically. "Please take me with you."
"Why are you so willing to earn extra money?"
"I... I have to support myself... save money to buy a house and marry a wife," Wu Shixiong replied honestly.
"Okay, then come with me and listen to my commands," Su Tianyu instructed.
"Okay, I'll listen," Wu Shixiong nodded heavily.
After the two of them finished their conversation, Kong Zhenghui waved his hand and shouted, "Let's go, everyone, get in the car."
—---
Late at night, around 11:30, near a shallow beach about thirty kilometers from the Zhanan civilian port, Su Tianbei and Bai Hongbo led their team to push three speedboats into the water and covered them with tarpaulin to prevent the metal from reflecting in the moonlight.
Su Tianyu smoked a cigarette, standing on the rocky reef at the edge of the beach, staring at the sea and glancing down at his watch.
"He's not here yet?" Kong Zhenghui walked over and asked.
"Nothing yet," Su Tianyu looked at Kong Zhenghui with some confusion and asked, "Do you think the authorities can really keep this under wraps? With so much cargo coming in, if the coast guard catches us, we'll be in prison until we're sixty."
"Brother, what kind of job nowadays doesn't come with risks?" Kong Zhenghui retorted.
Su Tianyu fell silent.
"We live in this era. Those who dare to take risks will survive, while the timid will starve." Kong Zhenghui also looked out to the sea and said, "Opportunities come, and we must seize them."
Su Tianyu smiled and nodded. "That's true."
The cold wind blew, and the group hid behind the rocks, waiting quietly.
More than an hour passed, and Su Tianyu was about to call Yu Mingyuan when his new phone rang. "Hello?"
"Get ready to dive. I've arranged everything over here," Tang Baiqing's voice came through.
"Alright, alright!"
"You guys need to move quickly. The tide will be receding in an hour and a half," Tang Baiqing urged.
"Got it." Su Tianyu nodded and hung up the phone. He turned back and shouted, "Push the boat and get in the water!"
At his command, more than twenty people lifted the tarpaulin and quickly jumped onto the speedboats. The person in charge of steering immediately started the diesel engine, and the deafening sound of the motor followed.
Su Tianyu sat at the front of the first speedboat and couldn't help but sigh, "Damn, I graduated from the Staff College, but I never thought I'd be doing this kind of sneaky stuff."
"Don't whine, do we want to make money or not?" Bai Hongbo squatted in the speedboat and urged, "Hurry up and let's go!"
"Vroom, vroom!"
The motor roared, and the three speedboats left the beach, heading towards the outer harbor.
On the sea, the cold wind howled, and the waves rolled.
After about half an hour of sprinting, the three speedboats arrived at the edge of the inner harbor and saw a transport ship with a carrying capacity of about 80,000 tons.
Su Tianyu turned his head to look around and could faintly see the lights of the coast guard patrol boats.
"Give the signal quickly!" Su Tianyu ordered.
As soon as the voice fell, three people took out flashlights and signaled the cargo ship with a light signal.
After about half a minute, someone on the second deck of the cargo ship responded with a flashlight.
"Get closer." Su Tianyu waved to the speedboat.
The three speedboats circled around the left rear of the cargo ship and tied their own ropes to the iron anchor hanging on the ship's wall. Then the sailors responsible for supplying the ship began to lower the goods with ropes.
Box after box of sealed goods fell down, and the people below quickly and efficiently stacked them neatly, saving space.
During this time, Su Tianyu had been paying attention to the patrol boats of the coast guard in the distance, but he saw that they didn't move to this side at all.
Time passed by minute by minute, and goods worth around four hundred thousand yuan were all stacked on the three speedboats. At this point, the people had almost no room to move and could only sit on the goods.
This was their first time transporting goods, mainly for the sake of experience, so the quantity of goods was not large, but even so, the initial profit was at least half.
"Did the numbers match?" Kong Kongzhenghui asked Su Tianyu.
"Enough." Su Tianyu nodded.
"Signal and retreat." Kong Zhenghui ordered.
As soon as he finished speaking, the people on the speedboat shook their flashlights again and signaled to the other side. Then Su Tianbei and the others removed the iron chains tied to the ship's wall and quickly withdrew from the cargo area.
On the way back, the speedboat braved the wind and waves, and the people sat on the goods with a solemn expression, not saying a word.
In fact, everyone was very nervous. They all knew that this thing could make money, but they also understood the consequences if they were caught.
Soon, the scene on the beach appeared in front of everyone's eyes. When the speedboat returned to the parking spot, even Kong Zhenghui, who had an explosive psychological quality, breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat off his forehead.
"Damn, finally back. This hour felt like a century." Su Tianbei cursed and got off the boat. "When I fought with Lu Feng, I wasn't this nervous."
This statement was not entirely false. Sometimes courage was a strange thing. Some people might be desperados in fighting, but they wouldn't dare to steal things because they didn't have the psychological toughness for it.
The people got off the speedboat and moved the goods into three dirty gang-specific trucks. Then Su Tianyu shouted, "Let's go, retreat."
"Quick, get in the car!" Bai Hongbo also shouted.
"Leave a few people behind to bring the speedboat back to the third floor and clean up the tail," Kong Zhenghui ordered.
"I... I'll stay," Wu Shixiong seemed to care about this extra job and worked hard throughout the process, remaining silent and focused. He was a very dedicated employee.
"Alright, you stay to finish up," Su Tianyu pulled open the car door and replied softly, "The rest of you, take the goods away first."
Just as they were preparing to leave, the sound of an engine suddenly emerged from the deserted road on their left.
Su Tianyu looked up towards the distance and saw the headlights of two cars approaching.
"What the f*ck, it's the coast guard, run!" Bai Hongbo shouted and was ready to make a break for it.
"F*ck, don't talk nonsense, the coast guard wouldn't have only two cars," Su Tianbei cursed, "You're panicking for no reason!"
Bai Hongbo heard this and stopped in his tracks, hiding next to the car and looking towards the intersection.
The two cars hastily arrived and stopped in front of the truck.
The bright headlights were blinding, and seven or eight strong men got out of the two off-road vehicles. The leader was about 1.75 meters tall, with a buzz cut, a square face, thick eyebrows, and a very heroic look. He was extremely burly and walked steadily.
"It's really a dirty gang's car," the leader swept a glance at the truck and walked up to Bai Hongbo, saying calmly, "Did you cross the line, brothers?"
"Who the hell are you?" Bai Hongbo saw that the other party wasn't the coast guard, and there were only seven or eight people, so he immediately became imposing.
"We're just eating on the road and doing business on the sea. Isn't it impolite to not even say hello?" A young man next to the leader, with his hands behind his back, smiled and said, "Leave the goods and go, your boss can come pick them up later."
"Who are you to confiscate our goods?" Bai Hongbo may be dumb, but he understood that these people were also road hustlers who came to extort.
"I said leave the goods and you can go," the young man repeated.
"I'm not leaving sh*t!" Bai Hongbo saw that there were only a few people, so he didn't care about them at all, taking a step forward and saying, "Get lost!"
As soon as the words fell, two young men from the Bai family took out their daggers from their pockets and surrounded the group, while Su Tianbei, Kong Zhenghui, and others stepped forward.
"You still want to fight?" the young man asked, looking at Bai Hongbo with a sideways glance.
"I told you to get out of the way!" Bai Hongbo's face darkened as he reached out and pushed the buzz-cut man.
"Snap!"
The buzz-cut man lifted his hand and opened Bai Hongbo's wrist, and then kicked him in the stomach with lightning speed.
"Bam!"
Bai Hongbo, who weighed at least 180 pounds, was kicked down with one kick.
"What the f*ck!" the Bai family member on the left took out his knife and stabbed the buzz-cut man.
"Snap!"
The buzz-cut man didn't move his left hand, just sidestepped, then used his right hand to twist the wrist of the Bai family member, followed by a knee strike to the opponent's abdomen.
"Pow!"
The young man holding the knife fell to the ground at an angle.
The buzz-cut man's movements were seamless, and he retreated only one step to avoid another attacker, then used his right elbow to strike the last member of the Bai family fiercely on the side of his head.
"Clang!"
The young man was hit so hard that his eyes saw stars, and his back hit the car, but he didn't fall down.
Su Tianbei and the others were stunned for a moment, then picked up their weapons and charged forward.
The buzz-cut man remained motionless, and the young man next to him took out a sleek black pistol and pointed it directly at Su Tianbei's head, saying in a calm tone, "F*ck! Are you blind? Do you know who he is? This is the Zhanan Ma gang, Wei Xiangzuo! Are you tired of living to dare to fight him here?"
