I am a super cop
Chapter 1701 China Coast Guard [2 in 1 Chapter]
Chapter 1701 Chinese Coast Guard 【Two Chapters in One】
Seeing He Wenjun coming to the cabin where the cargo was escorted, several horse boys with guns immediately became alert and immediately stopped Gu Chen.
These were all expected by Gu Chen, so he glanced at Gan Ting beside him.
Gan Ting explained with a light smile: "These are my brother's most trusted brothers, and they only listen to my elder brother."
"What they have to do is to protect the 'goods' and not let anyone approach them before the transaction."
"Even Wu Jinyong can't do it?" Gu Chen asked.
Gan Ting nodded silently: "That's right, apart from me and my brother, even Wu Jinyong can't do it."
Seeing that He Wenjun was a little upset, Gan Ting immediately changed his tone and said, "But you are not an outsider, and if you want to go in and have a look, I'll just take you in."
"Is it really possible?" Of course Gu Chen wanted to go in and have a look, but luckily there was Gan Ting by his side.
Gan Ting naturally smiled happily: "As long as you want, you can go in."
After the words fell, Gan Ting glanced at the horses with guns around him, and reminded:
"Get out of the way, we have to go in and check."
"Miss Gan Ting, this is not in compliance with the rules. These are all explained by Brother Kun." One of the boys seemed to be ignorant, and immediately rejected Gan Ting's request.
Gan Ting was very annoyed when he heard this, and slapped Ma Zai on the face: "I am his sister, besides, my brother will leave it to me and He Wenjun to deal with the matters on the ship this time."
"Aren't we even qualified to enter the cabin to inspect the cargo?"
Facing Gan Ting's strength, a horseman with a gun reminded him: "You guys are really ignorant, Miss Gan Ting and Brother Jun are in charge of this ship now, and you actually stop them? Why don't you hurry up and let them go?" open."
"Okay." Knowing that he couldn't screw Gan Ting, the horse boy who stopped Gu Chen gave up his position, and said apologetically:
"I'm sorry Miss Gan Ting, you can go in now."
"He Wenjun, let's go." Gan Ting took Gu Chen into the warehouse with a proud face.
But as soon as he entered the door, Gu Chen smelled a strong smell of salted fish, which was very pungent.
This is basically consistent with what I have learned before.
Ruan Xukun also told himself that the so-called "commodities" are all hidden in salted fish and seafood to avoid the police's pursuit.
The fishy smell of salted fish will cover the original taste of the "commodity". Once the police bring in the police dogs, they can avoid the sense of smell of the police dogs.
And once the police board the ship for inspection, it can also serve as a cover to a certain extent.
It can be seen that this gang of criminal groups has successfully used this kind of cover many times.
From the deal between Ruan Xukun and Marias on the splint, Gu Chen has already seen the clues.
This time, looking at the goods is one aspect, and determining where the goods are hidden is the key point.
And his main purpose is to hold the cabin before the police arrive.
It is indeed difficult to think about it.
Looking around, there are quite a lot of stocks here, and the transaction amount can be imagined.
This made Gu Chen suddenly find himself in trouble, feeling that the burden on his shoulders was heavy and there was a long way to go.
"How is it?" Gan Ting also asked casually when he saw that Gu Chen was watching from side to side.
Gu Chen directly opened a box, found a 5-jin salted fish, sniffed it in his hand, and asked Gan Ting:
"So, everything is hidden here?"
"Haha." Gan Ting laughed twice, and nodded in agreement: "That's right, anyway, the goods to be shipped this time are all hidden here, and my brother's cronies are around to guard them. People come in to carry goods."
Afterwards, Gan Ting didn't say anything, and directly opened several other aquatic products boxes, pointed to one of the salted fish boxes and said, "Anyway, you just need to remember that our product is 'salted fish', and you don't have to worry about anything else, understand ?"
"I see." Hearing Gan Ting's explanation, Gu Chen originally wanted to take out his dagger to check it out, but Gan Ting stopped him and said, "Don't dismantle things, and don't have any flaws before shipment. rule."
"Okay." Gu Chen frowned slightly, but soon replied with a smile on his face: "Brother Kun is still wise, it seems that I still have a lot to learn."
"Could it be that you are on Batu's side, Batu doesn't teach you these things?" Gan Ting asked.
Gu Chen shook his head: "At my elder brother Batu's side, I have basically never been in touch with these things, so I don't know much about them."
"Otherwise, so many things would not have happened three years ago."
Seeing that He Wenjun mentioned three years ago again, Gan Ting suddenly felt a little guilty, and said earnestly: "He Wenjun, I made you suffer three years ago, but now everything is revealed, and no one will dare to wrong you with my brother in the future."
"Aren't you afraid that I'll call the police?" Gu Chen deliberately teased.
Gan Ting was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "He Wenjun, do you still think that the blame three years ago was not serious enough? You call the police? Even if anyone here calls the police, it can't be you."
Seeing He Wenjun joking about what happened three years ago, Ruan Ganting patted Gu Chen on the shoulder while laughing, comfortingly said:
"He Wenjun, let him get over the past. Now we are all in the same boat. In the future, you, me, and my brother will all be our own people."
"My own people, don't count the small accounts of the year, everyone works together, my brother makes money, and your brother Batu can also make money."
"Besides, your elder brother Batu still expects to save more funds to revive his Southeast Asian tribes. This should also be your mission, so we must work harder to make money."
"But I think there is no reason not to wet your shoes when you often walk by the river." Gu Chen hesitated for a few seconds and asked Gan Ting, "Do you think we have to do this for the rest of our lives?"
"That's not true." Gan Ting thought for a few seconds, and explained to Gu Chen earnestly: "I also discussed this issue with my brother, and my brother also said, earn some money first, and then switch to other businesses."
"It doesn't matter if you go to any country in Southeast Asia, or to other countries, Europe, America, Oceania, or even Africa."
"Okay, I understand." Gu Chen also nodded silently, feeling that Ruan Xukun was also leaving a way out for himself.
That is to start some other industries after primitive accumulation, so as to cleanse yourself.
Time passed by, Gu Chen and Gan Ting came to the splint, closely observing the movement around them.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, Ruan Xukun took a few cronies, slowly approached the fishing boat in a small boat, and then climbed up the splint according to the rope ladder.
At this moment, just like the last time I went to sea, the plywood was full of men holding AKs.
But this time, instead of making a deal with Marias, he was going to make a deal with Batu.
At that time, Batu will bring a freighter, and the two will start a deal on Batu's freighter plywood.
At this moment, Gu Chen was more nervous than ever.
On the one hand, he could find He Wenhui again and ask her about Lu Weiwei's situation.
On the other hand, through the deal between Batu and Ruan Xukun, these two gangs can be wiped out.
Presumably the current coast guard ship is probably also keeping silent somewhere in the sea, just waiting for itself to send a signal.
Gu Chen has been hiding the satellite phone provided to him by the rescue frogman, waiting to send an action signal to the coast guard.
But now, on the one hand, I have to ask He Wenhui about Lu Weiwei's situation, on the other hand, I have to firmly control the warehouse to prevent these people from jumping over the wall and dumping "cargo" into the sea while being chased by the police.
One can imagine the pressure.
But Gu Chen has no other way at the moment.
Gu Chen can only choose one of the two.
Instead of inquiring about Lu Weiwei's whereabouts with He Wenhui, it's better to stick to the warehouse and wait for the marine police to capture these people in one fell swoop, and then it's not too late to ask about the situation.
But Gu Chen still has another problem to face, that is, what if the coast guard ship doesn't show up in time?
Over time, I will encounter fierce attacks from these thugs.
At that time, even if he has three heads and six arms, the bullet will not have eyes.
"Brother Kun!"
While Gu Chen was hesitating, Ruan Xukun had already led the rest of the staff onto the plywood and came in front of the crowd.
The boys who were in charge of guarding the fishing boat before immediately surrounded them.
Ruan Xukun looked around, then fixed his gaze on Gu Chen, and asked him, "He Wenjun."
"Brother Kun." Gu Chen raised his head and said.
"How are you preparing?" Ruan Xukun asked.
Gu Chen nodded silently: "Everything is ready, just waiting for Brother Kun to give you the password to set off."
"Haha, very good." Ruan Xukun seemed very satisfied.
After all, the target of this transaction is He Wenjun's eldest brother, Batu.
The reason why He Wenjun was brought along this time was, on the one hand, to make a friendly gesture.
Tell Batu that even if you send He Wenjun to yourself as a hostage, you can reuse him.
The second reason is that it is impossible to do business with Marias in the south.
So Batu is now his benefactor, and there is no reason not to cooperate with him.
It can be seen from the doubling of shipments that Ruan Xukun, who is usually stingy with shipments, sometimes compromises.
Gu Chen grinned and asked Ruan Xukun: "Then shall we set off now?"
"Let's go, let Luodong sail." Ruan Xukun said.
Gu Chen nodded silently, and said to Luo Dong beside him, "Go and sail the boat."
"Okay." Luo Dong nodded silently when he heard the words.
Before that, Luo Dong also reached a deal with Gu Chen.
Therefore, when driving the fishing boat out to sea this time, Gu Chen actually has another ally, and that is Luodong.
I once promised Luodong that after the three-year term expired, Luodong would switch to Batu, just to save his life.
And this time going to sea, Gu Chen also had to give Luo Dong an explanation.
But in reality, Gu Chen didn't take these things to heart. After all, this group of people will be made dumplings by the coast guard tonight.
In particular, Gu Chen is still wearing a satellite phone with a positioning system installed inside.
At this time, as soon as you go out to sea, your specific coordinate position will appear on the coast guard.
Luodong started the fishing boat. After anchoring, the fishing boat began to sail towards the designated sea area while turning off all communication equipment according to the navigation map.
Due to the location of the joint, it is not very far from Ruan Xukun's secret base, so at around 1:[-] in the morning, the fishing boat basically stopped sailing and stopped in a predetermined sea area, constantly observing the surrounding situation.
And Gu Chen has to put up 100% energy, success or failure depends on tonight.
But at this time, the crowd didn't seem to notice anything unusual.
Batu has already contacted him, so everyone just needs to wait where they are.
Still in the cabin, Ruan Xukun called Gu Chen to his side, and also reminded him: "He Wenjun, this time I brought you to trade with Batu, you have to perform well, I have high hopes for you."
"As for Batu, you also need to do a good job. From now on, the two of us will have a close cooperative relationship, but there is one thing I want you to tell Batu."
"Brother Kun, tell me." Seeing that Ruan Xukun was also hesitant, Gu Chen hurriedly asked him.
Ruan Xukun pondered for a few seconds, and said thoughtfully, "That's my half-sister, Yaoling. She's over there, and I haven't seen her for three years."
"I just hope that Batu will not embarrass her, and let her talk to me when necessary. I am ashamed of this sister, who is also a sister. Gan Ting has been by my side, but Yaoling has to suffer on Batu's side. "
"And I know that Yaoling's Chinese is not good, and it will be difficult to communicate, so I brought you out today to tell Batu that I, Ruan Xukun, did not treat you badly, He Wenjun, and please take good care of my sister. Yaoling."
After a pause, Ruan Xukun also let out a long sigh, and said again:
"When necessary, Yaoling can be brought back. After all, from now on, we are all family."
"Since we are a family, don't talk about the two families. Everyone has a tacit understanding with each other. There is no need to detain Yaoling."
"I understand." Of course Gu Chen understood what Ruan Xukun meant.
Although Ruan Yaoling is Ruan Xukun's half-sister, but emotionally speaking, Ruan Xukun feels that he is somewhat ashamed of this sister.
Especially when seeing Gan Ting, this kind of guilt towards Yaoling will arise spontaneously.
And this time Gu Chen was asked to follow him, obviously because he wanted Batu to see Ruan Xukun's sincerity.
Of course Gu Chen was willing to help, Dang even agreed to the request.
Seeing that Gan Ting beside him was silent, Ruan Xukun also reminded him: "Gan Ting."
"What's the matter?" Gan Ting didn't seem very happy.
But Ruan Xukun still said meaningfully: "If Yaoling can come back, you are not allowed to bully her. She is already pitiful enough, and she has sacrificed too much for our business."
"Understood, brother, but I don't like her, even if she comes back, I don't like her, but I promise you, I won't make things difficult for her."
Gan Ting seems to have a prejudice against this younger sister, Yaoling, and doesn't want Yaoling to come back.
But when Ruan Xukun spoke, she had no reason to refute.
After all, he also knew that it was because of Yaoling being a hostage over there that he and his brother Ruan Xukun could do business with Batu.
The time soon came to 2 o'clock in the morning.
When everyone was squinting and resting in the cabin, Gu Chen was wearing a jacket and standing in the cockpit with the captain Luo Dong, quietly waiting for the report from the pony outside.
Luo Dong was a little nervous, so he asked Gu Chen in a low voice, "Brother He Wenjun, you said that your elder brother Batu is really willing to help?"
"Of course." Gu Chen also nodded silently, and said involuntarily, "I've helped him so much, so he has to give me some face."
"As for your affairs, they are all trivial matters, just a matter of little effort."
"Okay." With another promise from Gu Chen, Luo Dong swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but couldn't hide his nervousness.
Gu Chen was equally nervous, but he had to remain calm enough.
Currently staying in the cabin, he is also waiting for Batu's freighter.
Another 15 minutes passed.
At this moment, a young man who was watching from above the cockpit hurried to the cabin and informed Luo Dong: "At 11 o'clock, there seems to be a ship coming."
Hearing this, Luo Dong quickly picked up the binoculars on the operating platform, went directly to the splint, and began to wait and see.
And Gu Chen also observed with a telescope.
However, Gu Chen has master-level observation skills, and with the help of a telescope, he can obviously see a clearer scene.
At this moment, on the dark sea, with the help of the faint moonlight, Gu Chen indeed saw a familiar freighter slowly approaching his own fishing boat.
After repeated confirmation several times, Luo Dong quickly put down the binoculars and ran to the cabin to inform Ruan Xukun.
Not long after, Ruan Xukun, Gan Ting, and several of Ruan Xukun's cronies also came out of the cabin and came to the plywood.
Everyone is holding binoculars for distant viewing.
After a while, Ruan Xukun put down the binoculars, and also told a boy next to him: "Send them a signal quickly to confirm their real identities."
"Yes, Brother Kun." Hearing this, Ma Zai immediately climbed to the top of the cockpit, began to use the searchlights above, and gave hints to the other party according to the previous light code words.
Not long after, the captain Luo Dong immediately pointed to the front and said, "Look, Brother Kun, they will send us a signal again."
Ruan Xukun raised the binoculars and found that not far away, the other ship was also replying according to the light code on his side.
Afterwards, Ruan Xukun continued to remind himself, and continued to send light codes.
Ruan Xukun was relieved after confirming three times in this way, and told everyone: "Arrange and prepare for delivery. That ship is Batu's cargo ship. We will take the initiative to drive there."
"Yes." Upon hearing this, Luo Dong immediately returned to the cockpit.
After everyone lifted the anchor, they began to drive towards the freighter.
At the moment, Gu Chen is still not sure about the specific transaction situation, so he dare not send a signal rashly.
But Gu Chen is also very clear that the coast guard ship is not too far away from everyone, and it is on standby at the moment. As long as he sends a signal from his side, he can immediately surround him.
But no matter what, I must control the situation and delay the time.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
The cargo ship was getting closer and closer, and Gu Chen could even see the people on the cargo ship's plywood.
One of them is Batu, and next to Batu is He Wenhui.
"Yes, it's them."
Gu Chen clenched his fists tightly, waiting for the other party to come and make a deal.
At this moment, Ruan Xukun's boys were also arranged by Gan Ting to the side of the boat.
All were armed and on alert.
At this time, it is the critical period of the transaction, and it is also the time when the sword is on the verge of breaking out.
No matter how lazy these guys are usually, they have to put up 100% energy at this moment, and dare not neglect in the slightest.
Just as the ships of both sides approached, the personnel of the two sides smiled reluctantly.
Ruan Xukun even waved his arms to greet Batu and He Wenhui on the cargo ship.
After the two ships stopped side by side, Ruan Xukun put the wide ladder on the side of Batu's cargo ship.
Just as Ruan Xukun was about to go over to discuss business with Batu, he was grabbed by Gu Chen.
"What's wrong?" Seeing this situation, Ruan Xukun also looked puzzled.
Gu Chen hurriedly reminded: "It's fair to let my elder brother Batu get on our fishing boat this time. Otherwise, my elder brother Batu will think that Brother Kun has lost the sales channel of Marias in the south, so there is no other way." Come to him to strengthen cooperation, so..."
Gu Chen's hint quickly made Ruan Xukun understand the reason.
Indeed, it is obviously a bit too polite to bring people and goods onto Batu's ship every time.
Now that he was almost assassinated by Marias, and managed to save his life, it was at the same time that he was laughed at by his peers.
At this time, he seemed too polite. Obviously, Batu was not a good person, and he naturally didn't value himself.
Fortunately, He Wenjun reminded me, otherwise I might really lose face.
Thinking of this, Ruan Xukun also let out a long sigh, and told Gan Ting, "Gan Ting, let Batu and He Wenhui bring money to my splint trade."
"Okay bro." Hearing what elder brother said, Gan Ting was naturally very happy.
At this time, Ruan Xukun turned around and came to the splint position.
Several other boys immediately brought him a seat.
At the same time, the folding table is also put away, ready for several people to trade on the boat.
"Brother Batu, Sister He Wenhui, how are you?" Gan Ting greeted the two on the cargo ship.
Since Gan Ting was Ruan Xukun's younger sister, Batu and He Wenhui naturally knew each other well, and greeted her politely.
He Wenhui asked curiously: "Sister Gan Ting, why don't you come over?"
"My elder brother asked you to bring things to our ship to trade, and He Wenjun is also there."
Hearing what Gan Ting said, Batu and He Wenhui also looked at each other in blank dismay.
In the previous transactions, Ruan Xukun brought things to his ship to trade, but how did the rules change today?
But thinking about it, the deal is the same everywhere, so after a brief discussion with He Wenhui, Batu also agreed.
He Wenhui replied directly: "No problem, according to the old rules, bring your goods, and we will come right away."
There was a brief coordination between the two sides.
On He Wenhui's side, he followed Batu, brought a few horsemen with guns, and carried a black leather bag to the plywood of the fishing boat.
At this moment, Gu Chen hurried forward, pretending to support He Wenhui enthusiastically: "Sister, we finally meet again."
He Wenhui looked a little embarrassed.
It's just that he didn't expect that this fake brother was arranged to be a hostage on Ruan Xukun's side, but he didn't die.
You know, three years ago, He Wenjun had caused Ruan Xukun's business to suffer a heavy loss.
Three years later, Gu Chen, who pretended to be his younger brother, was sent to Ruan Xukun's side in order to find Gu Chen as a scapegoat, so that Ruan Xukun's side could calm down the anger of the year and continue to do business with Batu.
But now it seems that Gu Chen is not only not dead, but also seems to be doing well.
This made He Wenhui have to admit that Gu Chen did have his own advantages, and it was a miracle that he was able to live till now.
But in order to cooperate with Gu Chen, He Wenhui also patted Gu Chen's shoulder with a forced smile, pretending to miss and said:
"Wen Jun, you are not by my sister's side, my sister misses you very much, they didn't hurt you, did they?"
"No, I have a good life there, you don't have to worry about me."
"It's okay, it's okay."
……
Here, He Wenhui and Gu Chen chatted about their daily routines and pretended to communicate, while Batu on the other side also exchanged pleasantries with Ruan Xukun and his sister.
Taking advantage of everyone's attention focused on Batu, Gu Chen quickly pulled He Wenhui aside and asked, "How is my friend?"
"Everything is fine." He Wenhui also said earnestly: "Your friend eats well and sleeps well, there is no problem at all."
"During this time, I have been taken care of by others. She can do anything except restrict her freedom."
"Are you sure what you said is true?" Gu Chen questioned again.
But He Wenhui patted her chest and assured her: "I am a person of credibility. It is indeed a hard work for you to be a hostage for my brother. Therefore, we will not treat your friends badly."
Glancing in the direction of Batu and Ruan Xukun, He Wenhui hurriedly asked again: "By the way, what's going on with Ruan Xukun?"
"I had a falling out with Marias, and I was almost killed by someone arranged by Marias. If it wasn't for me, he might be a corpse now."
"So, that's why you were reused?" After all, it was three days after Shibai, and He Wenhui felt that she had to look at Gu Chen with admiration.
Gu Chen also nodded silently, and voluntarily admitted: "So, Ruan Xukun now agrees to strengthen cooperation with you."
"In principle, as long as Ruan Xukun has what he wants, he will give it to Brother Batu. If he doesn't have it, he will try his best to get it for you."
"That's great." Seeing that Gu Chen had arranged all this clearly, He Wenhui also let out a long sigh of relief: "I didn't expect that you are quite capable. If you weren't He Wenjun at all, I'm afraid I would have really put it down. You are my poor brother."
"Is it true that He Wenjun's body was not found?" Gu Chen asked her.
He Wenhui nodded silently, her voice choked with sobs: "It would be great if I could find it. It was my selfishness that hurt He Wenjun."
"Then if I tell you that your brother He Wenjun was wronged back then, do you think..."
"What did you say?" Gu Chen's voice hadn't finished yet, but He Wenhui's eyes lit up, and she couldn't believe it:
"Speak clearly, what's the situation with my brother? Why was he wronged?"
It seems that she hasn't figured out what Gu Chen meant, but when she thinks of her younger brother's death in the sea, He Wenhui also feels a lot of guilt.
Gu Chen said earnestly, "Then let me tell you the truth. After Ruan Xukun was attacked by people lurking around Marias that night, both the attacker and the insider were caught, and they also admitted what happened back then."
"That is, your brother was deceived by the lurker arranged by Marias next to Ruan Xukun."
"Because your younger brother He Wenjun didn't know about Ruan Xukun's real business at all, so the lurker Abu told He Wenjun all this and threatened He Wenjun, but anyone who knew about Brother Kun's real business would have only one result in the end, that is die."
"So at that time He Wenjun was completely panicked and fell into fear, and the lurker Abu took advantage of your brother He Wenjun's innocence, so he pretended to help him, arranged for him to return to your ship, and sent him away."
After a pause, seeing He Wenhui's surprised face, Gu Chen hurriedly said again: "And this lurker Abu, as soon as your brother He Wenjun leaves, he will immediately call the police and pin all of this on He Wenjun's head."
"In this way, Ruan Xukun's business was basically a devastating blow back then. The Southeast Asian police not only destroyed his sales channels, but also arrested more than a dozen of Ruan Xukun's brothers."
"That's why Ruan Xukun found Batu and asked Batu to clean up the house."
Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen said helplessly, "It's just that I didn't expect Batu to be so vicious. He didn't care about He Wenjun's life and death, and directly forced him to jump into the sea to commit suicide."
Shaking his head, Gu Chen also had a look of regret: "It's a pity that He Wenjun was fooled by the lurker Abu, and finally became a scapegoat, and he died without evidence of guilt."
"It's all my fault that I believed Ruan Xukun's nonsense back then." He Wenhui felt a little regretful at the moment, and said with a sob in her voice: "If it weren't for the high pressure from Batu back then, I would never have let He Wenjun go to die."
"The original hostage should be me. I was greedy for life and afraid of death, and killed my brother. I deserve to die."
When He Wenhui said this, she couldn't help but choked up, which attracted the attention of Ruan Xukun and several boys.
Seeing this, Gu Chen quickly patted He Wenhui on the shoulder, pretending to be a reunion of siblings, so excited.
Gu Chen also reminded: "Can you keep your voice down? If Ruan Xukun's people find out, we will all be finished."
"Okay." He Wenhui wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, trying to calm herself down.
Noticing that Ma Zi was paying attention, He Wenhui tugged on Gu Chen's collar, pretended to straighten his shirt, and said loudly:
"Wen Jun, my sister made you suffer here."
"It's not hard." Gu Chen also pretended to cooperate, so he glanced at Batu and Ruan Xukun who were behind him, and also reminded: "Let's go first."
"Okay." Seeing that she couldn't wait for a long time to chat with Gu Chen privately in the corner, He Wenhui chose to come directly to Batu with Gu Chen.
But Gu Chen's position at the moment is also very clever.
He did not stand beside Batu and He Wenhui, but chose to stand behind Ruan Xukun, side by side with Gan Ting.
In this way, the delicate relationship between the two parties can be better highlighted.
Emotionally speaking, the He Wenjun pretended by Gu Chen is actually facing Ruan Xukun, which allows both parties to complete the negotiation in a relatively trusting environment.
"Batu, the price you gave is too low, please add more." Ruan Xukun was also a little displeased as he smoked a cigar.
Obviously, in the exchange just now, the two sides are still bargaining.
But obviously, Batu is also a business genius.
Knowing that Ruan Xukun was almost killed in his room by Marias from the south, and that he had already taken away the business from the south, it must be a key cooperation with him.
So Batu was also scheming and said: "Since it is a business, you have to show some sincerity."
"Now, the peers should gradually understand the delicate relationship between you and Marias."
"If I focus on cooperating with you, I will definitely offend Marias in the south."
"Are you afraid of Marias?" Ruan Xukun said with disdain.
But Batu smiled and waved his right hand, denying and saying, "Why am I afraid of him, Marias?"
"It's just that in Southeast Asia, I still have a lot of business and interests. Once I fall out with him, Marias, it will not be of much benefit to me."
"But if you are willing to cooperate with me for a long time and supply unlimited supplies, then I can use my influence in Southeast Asia to gradually eliminate Marias' influence and vent your anger for you."
"But in this way, the price is also expensive, but Brother Kun, you don't know the truth that wool comes from sheep, right?"
"What I pay must be earned back in related businesses, right?"
"So, you have to give me a price that is lower than the market price. As for me, I will also help you settle all Marias' interference. Everyone is mutually beneficial and win-win. What do you think?"
After Batu finished speaking, the scene suddenly fell silent.
On the bright side, Batu took a lot of advantage, and even acted like a good boy after taking advantage of it.
But from a practical point of view, if Batu really wants to be deeply bound with Ruan Xukun, he must help Ruan Xukun to solve the troubles of Marias in Southeast Asia.
Therefore, the transaction price given by Batu seems to be in line with Batu's usual way of doing business.
Since Ruan Xukun also knew in advance, Batu would definitely ask for more bargaining chips in the name of Marias in terms of the transaction price.
And Ruan Xukun also has his own psychological acceptance of the price.
Therefore, Ruan Xukun felt that he could compromise on the part that should be compromised.
After all, his future safety also needs absolute protection.
Otherwise, if Marias makes such nonsense again, maybe one day he will die in a daze.
Thinking that this wave of transactions is not a loss, Ruan Xukun immediately agreed and said: "Okay, I will give you the price you said."
"Haha, refreshing." Batu was extremely excited when he heard this, and immediately slapped his hands, feeling that this would be a pleasant transaction.
Afterwards, Batu motioned to Ma Zai, who was carrying a black leather bag, to put the things on the table and show them to Ruan Xukun.
Ma Zai immediately opened the zipper, and inside the black leather bag were bundles of banknotes.
Ruan Xukun glanced at it, and gestured to a horse boy beside him with his eyes.
And this horse boy opened an aquatic tank on the splint, took out a small fish, took out the dagger in his hand, and stroked the fish's belly lightly.
Then, with nimble fingers, he dropped a package of "goods" on the table.
The two parties immediately started the mutual inspection process.
At this moment, Gu Chen felt that the time was right.
At the very least, the two parties have already started trading, so Gu Chen took advantage of the crowd's focus on the trading table, and decisively used the keystrokes he had practiced no less than 300 times to decisively send out the signal.
Following Gu Chen's master-level observation skills, he finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the sound of "Di, Didi".
The signal has been sent, and the next thing is to wait for the rescuers to come and make dumplings for the two ships.
I don't know what kind of rescue force the frogman will bring?But Gu Chen is very clear that what needs to be done now is to adapt to the situation, effectively hold back both sides, and provide the necessary time for the coast guard to encircle.
Gu Chen began to observe the surrounding situation, and found that all the boys were standing on the ship's side, with their backs facing him, so Gu Chen was quite familiar with the deployment positions of these people.
The reason is very simple. Before going to sea, Gu Chen already knew the internal structure of the entire fishing boat and the deployment of personnel.
All that needs to be done now is to hold both sides together.
So after Gu Chen sent the signal, he waited for the transaction between the two parties again.
Gu Chen knew that the salted fish pretending to be cargo in the cabin should be moved to the plywood, and then Batu's people would inspect the cargo.
This kind of busyness basically takes a long time.
Why did Gu Chen ask Ruan Xukun to ask Batu and He Wenhui to change their normal ways and come to trade on their own fishing boat?
Of course, it is one thing to give Ruan Xukun a little step, but the most important thing is that after Batu and He Wenhui inspect the goods on the fishing boat, they are also responsible for carefully loading them onto the cargo ship.
During this period, it also takes a lot of time.
So once the coast guard ship approaches, these people want to evacuate quickly, and there is another issue of time involved here.
And if Batu and He Wenhui couldn't effectively evacuate to their own ship, the cargo ship would not dare to leave.
This can buy a certain amount of time.
Thinking that the only thing left to do now is to go to the warehouse to move the goods, Gu Chen felt that it was time for him to procrastinate.
After the sample testing was completed, Batu's boy nodded silently to Batu and He Wenhui, indicating that the product was top-grade.
Only then did Batu grin, and asked Ruan Xukun, who was counting the banknotes, "Your goods are fine, how are the banknotes counted?"
"No problem." Although counting the banknotes was a bit slow, Ruan Xukun's cronies also gave an affirmative answer.
Ruan Xukun was very satisfied, and also smiled lightly, shaking hands with Batu and teasing: "Since there is no problem, let's start."
"Okay, you guys take out all the goods, and I'll have someone prepare the rest of the money for you."
Batu was also quite satisfied with the transaction, and immediately signaled to the boy next to him to go back quickly and ask the younger brothers to bring over the remaining black leather bags.
Due to the huge transaction amount and the large number of goods, Gu Chen was also frightened.
It feels like this batch of goods is enough for everyone to sit and wear.
It can be seen that the rampant smuggling of contraband by this group of people has reached a point of insanity.
Seeing that one of Ruan Xukun's cronies was going to inform the cabin to move the cargo, Gu Chen quickly suggested, "Brother Kun, I'll go down to help."
"Okay." Knowing that He Wenjun was saving face for himself, Ruan Xukun readily accepted.
After all, considering the issue of He Wenjun's ownership, He Wenjun is He Wenhui's younger brother and Batu's younger brother.
Now being able to be reused on my own side, and to do things for myself, this is undoubtedly giving myself enough face.
Thinking of a win-win situation, Batu reminded his confidant Ma Zai: "Let He Wenjun pick up the goods, and you cooperate with him."
"Yes, Brother Kun." His confidant Ma Zai nodded silently, and then took Gu Chen into the cabin together.
Still a familiar environment, a familiar place.
At this moment, Gu Chen subconsciously touched his own gun, trying to calm himself down.
What I have to do now is to delay the time and let this batch of "commodities" stay in the warehouse as much as possible.
On the other side, just as the two ships stopped side by side to conduct transactions.
Two white fuselages on the sea surface, painted with red and blue stripes on the body, printed with the "China Coast Guard" badge and the "China Coast Guard" logo, are skimming the sea and quickly approaching the target.
……
Ask for votes, with a sincere face. ╰(‵ ′)╯
(End of this chapter)
Seeing He Wenjun coming to the cabin where the cargo was escorted, several horse boys with guns immediately became alert and immediately stopped Gu Chen.
These were all expected by Gu Chen, so he glanced at Gan Ting beside him.
Gan Ting explained with a light smile: "These are my brother's most trusted brothers, and they only listen to my elder brother."
"What they have to do is to protect the 'goods' and not let anyone approach them before the transaction."
"Even Wu Jinyong can't do it?" Gu Chen asked.
Gan Ting nodded silently: "That's right, apart from me and my brother, even Wu Jinyong can't do it."
Seeing that He Wenjun was a little upset, Gan Ting immediately changed his tone and said, "But you are not an outsider, and if you want to go in and have a look, I'll just take you in."
"Is it really possible?" Of course Gu Chen wanted to go in and have a look, but luckily there was Gan Ting by his side.
Gan Ting naturally smiled happily: "As long as you want, you can go in."
After the words fell, Gan Ting glanced at the horses with guns around him, and reminded:
"Get out of the way, we have to go in and check."
"Miss Gan Ting, this is not in compliance with the rules. These are all explained by Brother Kun." One of the boys seemed to be ignorant, and immediately rejected Gan Ting's request.
Gan Ting was very annoyed when he heard this, and slapped Ma Zai on the face: "I am his sister, besides, my brother will leave it to me and He Wenjun to deal with the matters on the ship this time."
"Aren't we even qualified to enter the cabin to inspect the cargo?"
Facing Gan Ting's strength, a horseman with a gun reminded him: "You guys are really ignorant, Miss Gan Ting and Brother Jun are in charge of this ship now, and you actually stop them? Why don't you hurry up and let them go?" open."
"Okay." Knowing that he couldn't screw Gan Ting, the horse boy who stopped Gu Chen gave up his position, and said apologetically:
"I'm sorry Miss Gan Ting, you can go in now."
"He Wenjun, let's go." Gan Ting took Gu Chen into the warehouse with a proud face.
But as soon as he entered the door, Gu Chen smelled a strong smell of salted fish, which was very pungent.
This is basically consistent with what I have learned before.
Ruan Xukun also told himself that the so-called "commodities" are all hidden in salted fish and seafood to avoid the police's pursuit.
The fishy smell of salted fish will cover the original taste of the "commodity". Once the police bring in the police dogs, they can avoid the sense of smell of the police dogs.
And once the police board the ship for inspection, it can also serve as a cover to a certain extent.
It can be seen that this gang of criminal groups has successfully used this kind of cover many times.
From the deal between Ruan Xukun and Marias on the splint, Gu Chen has already seen the clues.
This time, looking at the goods is one aspect, and determining where the goods are hidden is the key point.
And his main purpose is to hold the cabin before the police arrive.
It is indeed difficult to think about it.
Looking around, there are quite a lot of stocks here, and the transaction amount can be imagined.
This made Gu Chen suddenly find himself in trouble, feeling that the burden on his shoulders was heavy and there was a long way to go.
"How is it?" Gan Ting also asked casually when he saw that Gu Chen was watching from side to side.
Gu Chen directly opened a box, found a 5-jin salted fish, sniffed it in his hand, and asked Gan Ting:
"So, everything is hidden here?"
"Haha." Gan Ting laughed twice, and nodded in agreement: "That's right, anyway, the goods to be shipped this time are all hidden here, and my brother's cronies are around to guard them. People come in to carry goods."
Afterwards, Gan Ting didn't say anything, and directly opened several other aquatic products boxes, pointed to one of the salted fish boxes and said, "Anyway, you just need to remember that our product is 'salted fish', and you don't have to worry about anything else, understand ?"
"I see." Hearing Gan Ting's explanation, Gu Chen originally wanted to take out his dagger to check it out, but Gan Ting stopped him and said, "Don't dismantle things, and don't have any flaws before shipment. rule."
"Okay." Gu Chen frowned slightly, but soon replied with a smile on his face: "Brother Kun is still wise, it seems that I still have a lot to learn."
"Could it be that you are on Batu's side, Batu doesn't teach you these things?" Gan Ting asked.
Gu Chen shook his head: "At my elder brother Batu's side, I have basically never been in touch with these things, so I don't know much about them."
"Otherwise, so many things would not have happened three years ago."
Seeing that He Wenjun mentioned three years ago again, Gan Ting suddenly felt a little guilty, and said earnestly: "He Wenjun, I made you suffer three years ago, but now everything is revealed, and no one will dare to wrong you with my brother in the future."
"Aren't you afraid that I'll call the police?" Gu Chen deliberately teased.
Gan Ting was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "He Wenjun, do you still think that the blame three years ago was not serious enough? You call the police? Even if anyone here calls the police, it can't be you."
Seeing He Wenjun joking about what happened three years ago, Ruan Ganting patted Gu Chen on the shoulder while laughing, comfortingly said:
"He Wenjun, let him get over the past. Now we are all in the same boat. In the future, you, me, and my brother will all be our own people."
"My own people, don't count the small accounts of the year, everyone works together, my brother makes money, and your brother Batu can also make money."
"Besides, your elder brother Batu still expects to save more funds to revive his Southeast Asian tribes. This should also be your mission, so we must work harder to make money."
"But I think there is no reason not to wet your shoes when you often walk by the river." Gu Chen hesitated for a few seconds and asked Gan Ting, "Do you think we have to do this for the rest of our lives?"
"That's not true." Gan Ting thought for a few seconds, and explained to Gu Chen earnestly: "I also discussed this issue with my brother, and my brother also said, earn some money first, and then switch to other businesses."
"It doesn't matter if you go to any country in Southeast Asia, or to other countries, Europe, America, Oceania, or even Africa."
"Okay, I understand." Gu Chen also nodded silently, feeling that Ruan Xukun was also leaving a way out for himself.
That is to start some other industries after primitive accumulation, so as to cleanse yourself.
Time passed by, Gu Chen and Gan Ting came to the splint, closely observing the movement around them.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, Ruan Xukun took a few cronies, slowly approached the fishing boat in a small boat, and then climbed up the splint according to the rope ladder.
At this moment, just like the last time I went to sea, the plywood was full of men holding AKs.
But this time, instead of making a deal with Marias, he was going to make a deal with Batu.
At that time, Batu will bring a freighter, and the two will start a deal on Batu's freighter plywood.
At this moment, Gu Chen was more nervous than ever.
On the one hand, he could find He Wenhui again and ask her about Lu Weiwei's situation.
On the other hand, through the deal between Batu and Ruan Xukun, these two gangs can be wiped out.
Presumably the current coast guard ship is probably also keeping silent somewhere in the sea, just waiting for itself to send a signal.
Gu Chen has been hiding the satellite phone provided to him by the rescue frogman, waiting to send an action signal to the coast guard.
But now, on the one hand, I have to ask He Wenhui about Lu Weiwei's situation, on the other hand, I have to firmly control the warehouse to prevent these people from jumping over the wall and dumping "cargo" into the sea while being chased by the police.
One can imagine the pressure.
But Gu Chen has no other way at the moment.
Gu Chen can only choose one of the two.
Instead of inquiring about Lu Weiwei's whereabouts with He Wenhui, it's better to stick to the warehouse and wait for the marine police to capture these people in one fell swoop, and then it's not too late to ask about the situation.
But Gu Chen still has another problem to face, that is, what if the coast guard ship doesn't show up in time?
Over time, I will encounter fierce attacks from these thugs.
At that time, even if he has three heads and six arms, the bullet will not have eyes.
"Brother Kun!"
While Gu Chen was hesitating, Ruan Xukun had already led the rest of the staff onto the plywood and came in front of the crowd.
The boys who were in charge of guarding the fishing boat before immediately surrounded them.
Ruan Xukun looked around, then fixed his gaze on Gu Chen, and asked him, "He Wenjun."
"Brother Kun." Gu Chen raised his head and said.
"How are you preparing?" Ruan Xukun asked.
Gu Chen nodded silently: "Everything is ready, just waiting for Brother Kun to give you the password to set off."
"Haha, very good." Ruan Xukun seemed very satisfied.
After all, the target of this transaction is He Wenjun's eldest brother, Batu.
The reason why He Wenjun was brought along this time was, on the one hand, to make a friendly gesture.
Tell Batu that even if you send He Wenjun to yourself as a hostage, you can reuse him.
The second reason is that it is impossible to do business with Marias in the south.
So Batu is now his benefactor, and there is no reason not to cooperate with him.
It can be seen from the doubling of shipments that Ruan Xukun, who is usually stingy with shipments, sometimes compromises.
Gu Chen grinned and asked Ruan Xukun: "Then shall we set off now?"
"Let's go, let Luodong sail." Ruan Xukun said.
Gu Chen nodded silently, and said to Luo Dong beside him, "Go and sail the boat."
"Okay." Luo Dong nodded silently when he heard the words.
Before that, Luo Dong also reached a deal with Gu Chen.
Therefore, when driving the fishing boat out to sea this time, Gu Chen actually has another ally, and that is Luodong.
I once promised Luodong that after the three-year term expired, Luodong would switch to Batu, just to save his life.
And this time going to sea, Gu Chen also had to give Luo Dong an explanation.
But in reality, Gu Chen didn't take these things to heart. After all, this group of people will be made dumplings by the coast guard tonight.
In particular, Gu Chen is still wearing a satellite phone with a positioning system installed inside.
At this time, as soon as you go out to sea, your specific coordinate position will appear on the coast guard.
Luodong started the fishing boat. After anchoring, the fishing boat began to sail towards the designated sea area while turning off all communication equipment according to the navigation map.
Due to the location of the joint, it is not very far from Ruan Xukun's secret base, so at around 1:[-] in the morning, the fishing boat basically stopped sailing and stopped in a predetermined sea area, constantly observing the surrounding situation.
And Gu Chen has to put up 100% energy, success or failure depends on tonight.
But at this time, the crowd didn't seem to notice anything unusual.
Batu has already contacted him, so everyone just needs to wait where they are.
Still in the cabin, Ruan Xukun called Gu Chen to his side, and also reminded him: "He Wenjun, this time I brought you to trade with Batu, you have to perform well, I have high hopes for you."
"As for Batu, you also need to do a good job. From now on, the two of us will have a close cooperative relationship, but there is one thing I want you to tell Batu."
"Brother Kun, tell me." Seeing that Ruan Xukun was also hesitant, Gu Chen hurriedly asked him.
Ruan Xukun pondered for a few seconds, and said thoughtfully, "That's my half-sister, Yaoling. She's over there, and I haven't seen her for three years."
"I just hope that Batu will not embarrass her, and let her talk to me when necessary. I am ashamed of this sister, who is also a sister. Gan Ting has been by my side, but Yaoling has to suffer on Batu's side. "
"And I know that Yaoling's Chinese is not good, and it will be difficult to communicate, so I brought you out today to tell Batu that I, Ruan Xukun, did not treat you badly, He Wenjun, and please take good care of my sister. Yaoling."
After a pause, Ruan Xukun also let out a long sigh, and said again:
"When necessary, Yaoling can be brought back. After all, from now on, we are all family."
"Since we are a family, don't talk about the two families. Everyone has a tacit understanding with each other. There is no need to detain Yaoling."
"I understand." Of course Gu Chen understood what Ruan Xukun meant.
Although Ruan Yaoling is Ruan Xukun's half-sister, but emotionally speaking, Ruan Xukun feels that he is somewhat ashamed of this sister.
Especially when seeing Gan Ting, this kind of guilt towards Yaoling will arise spontaneously.
And this time Gu Chen was asked to follow him, obviously because he wanted Batu to see Ruan Xukun's sincerity.
Of course Gu Chen was willing to help, Dang even agreed to the request.
Seeing that Gan Ting beside him was silent, Ruan Xukun also reminded him: "Gan Ting."
"What's the matter?" Gan Ting didn't seem very happy.
But Ruan Xukun still said meaningfully: "If Yaoling can come back, you are not allowed to bully her. She is already pitiful enough, and she has sacrificed too much for our business."
"Understood, brother, but I don't like her, even if she comes back, I don't like her, but I promise you, I won't make things difficult for her."
Gan Ting seems to have a prejudice against this younger sister, Yaoling, and doesn't want Yaoling to come back.
But when Ruan Xukun spoke, she had no reason to refute.
After all, he also knew that it was because of Yaoling being a hostage over there that he and his brother Ruan Xukun could do business with Batu.
The time soon came to 2 o'clock in the morning.
When everyone was squinting and resting in the cabin, Gu Chen was wearing a jacket and standing in the cockpit with the captain Luo Dong, quietly waiting for the report from the pony outside.
Luo Dong was a little nervous, so he asked Gu Chen in a low voice, "Brother He Wenjun, you said that your elder brother Batu is really willing to help?"
"Of course." Gu Chen also nodded silently, and said involuntarily, "I've helped him so much, so he has to give me some face."
"As for your affairs, they are all trivial matters, just a matter of little effort."
"Okay." With another promise from Gu Chen, Luo Dong swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but couldn't hide his nervousness.
Gu Chen was equally nervous, but he had to remain calm enough.
Currently staying in the cabin, he is also waiting for Batu's freighter.
Another 15 minutes passed.
At this moment, a young man who was watching from above the cockpit hurried to the cabin and informed Luo Dong: "At 11 o'clock, there seems to be a ship coming."
Hearing this, Luo Dong quickly picked up the binoculars on the operating platform, went directly to the splint, and began to wait and see.
And Gu Chen also observed with a telescope.
However, Gu Chen has master-level observation skills, and with the help of a telescope, he can obviously see a clearer scene.
At this moment, on the dark sea, with the help of the faint moonlight, Gu Chen indeed saw a familiar freighter slowly approaching his own fishing boat.
After repeated confirmation several times, Luo Dong quickly put down the binoculars and ran to the cabin to inform Ruan Xukun.
Not long after, Ruan Xukun, Gan Ting, and several of Ruan Xukun's cronies also came out of the cabin and came to the plywood.
Everyone is holding binoculars for distant viewing.
After a while, Ruan Xukun put down the binoculars, and also told a boy next to him: "Send them a signal quickly to confirm their real identities."
"Yes, Brother Kun." Hearing this, Ma Zai immediately climbed to the top of the cockpit, began to use the searchlights above, and gave hints to the other party according to the previous light code words.
Not long after, the captain Luo Dong immediately pointed to the front and said, "Look, Brother Kun, they will send us a signal again."
Ruan Xukun raised the binoculars and found that not far away, the other ship was also replying according to the light code on his side.
Afterwards, Ruan Xukun continued to remind himself, and continued to send light codes.
Ruan Xukun was relieved after confirming three times in this way, and told everyone: "Arrange and prepare for delivery. That ship is Batu's cargo ship. We will take the initiative to drive there."
"Yes." Upon hearing this, Luo Dong immediately returned to the cockpit.
After everyone lifted the anchor, they began to drive towards the freighter.
At the moment, Gu Chen is still not sure about the specific transaction situation, so he dare not send a signal rashly.
But Gu Chen is also very clear that the coast guard ship is not too far away from everyone, and it is on standby at the moment. As long as he sends a signal from his side, he can immediately surround him.
But no matter what, I must control the situation and delay the time.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
The cargo ship was getting closer and closer, and Gu Chen could even see the people on the cargo ship's plywood.
One of them is Batu, and next to Batu is He Wenhui.
"Yes, it's them."
Gu Chen clenched his fists tightly, waiting for the other party to come and make a deal.
At this moment, Ruan Xukun's boys were also arranged by Gan Ting to the side of the boat.
All were armed and on alert.
At this time, it is the critical period of the transaction, and it is also the time when the sword is on the verge of breaking out.
No matter how lazy these guys are usually, they have to put up 100% energy at this moment, and dare not neglect in the slightest.
Just as the ships of both sides approached, the personnel of the two sides smiled reluctantly.
Ruan Xukun even waved his arms to greet Batu and He Wenhui on the cargo ship.
After the two ships stopped side by side, Ruan Xukun put the wide ladder on the side of Batu's cargo ship.
Just as Ruan Xukun was about to go over to discuss business with Batu, he was grabbed by Gu Chen.
"What's wrong?" Seeing this situation, Ruan Xukun also looked puzzled.
Gu Chen hurriedly reminded: "It's fair to let my elder brother Batu get on our fishing boat this time. Otherwise, my elder brother Batu will think that Brother Kun has lost the sales channel of Marias in the south, so there is no other way." Come to him to strengthen cooperation, so..."
Gu Chen's hint quickly made Ruan Xukun understand the reason.
Indeed, it is obviously a bit too polite to bring people and goods onto Batu's ship every time.
Now that he was almost assassinated by Marias, and managed to save his life, it was at the same time that he was laughed at by his peers.
At this time, he seemed too polite. Obviously, Batu was not a good person, and he naturally didn't value himself.
Fortunately, He Wenjun reminded me, otherwise I might really lose face.
Thinking of this, Ruan Xukun also let out a long sigh, and told Gan Ting, "Gan Ting, let Batu and He Wenhui bring money to my splint trade."
"Okay bro." Hearing what elder brother said, Gan Ting was naturally very happy.
At this time, Ruan Xukun turned around and came to the splint position.
Several other boys immediately brought him a seat.
At the same time, the folding table is also put away, ready for several people to trade on the boat.
"Brother Batu, Sister He Wenhui, how are you?" Gan Ting greeted the two on the cargo ship.
Since Gan Ting was Ruan Xukun's younger sister, Batu and He Wenhui naturally knew each other well, and greeted her politely.
He Wenhui asked curiously: "Sister Gan Ting, why don't you come over?"
"My elder brother asked you to bring things to our ship to trade, and He Wenjun is also there."
Hearing what Gan Ting said, Batu and He Wenhui also looked at each other in blank dismay.
In the previous transactions, Ruan Xukun brought things to his ship to trade, but how did the rules change today?
But thinking about it, the deal is the same everywhere, so after a brief discussion with He Wenhui, Batu also agreed.
He Wenhui replied directly: "No problem, according to the old rules, bring your goods, and we will come right away."
There was a brief coordination between the two sides.
On He Wenhui's side, he followed Batu, brought a few horsemen with guns, and carried a black leather bag to the plywood of the fishing boat.
At this moment, Gu Chen hurried forward, pretending to support He Wenhui enthusiastically: "Sister, we finally meet again."
He Wenhui looked a little embarrassed.
It's just that he didn't expect that this fake brother was arranged to be a hostage on Ruan Xukun's side, but he didn't die.
You know, three years ago, He Wenjun had caused Ruan Xukun's business to suffer a heavy loss.
Three years later, Gu Chen, who pretended to be his younger brother, was sent to Ruan Xukun's side in order to find Gu Chen as a scapegoat, so that Ruan Xukun's side could calm down the anger of the year and continue to do business with Batu.
But now it seems that Gu Chen is not only not dead, but also seems to be doing well.
This made He Wenhui have to admit that Gu Chen did have his own advantages, and it was a miracle that he was able to live till now.
But in order to cooperate with Gu Chen, He Wenhui also patted Gu Chen's shoulder with a forced smile, pretending to miss and said:
"Wen Jun, you are not by my sister's side, my sister misses you very much, they didn't hurt you, did they?"
"No, I have a good life there, you don't have to worry about me."
"It's okay, it's okay."
……
Here, He Wenhui and Gu Chen chatted about their daily routines and pretended to communicate, while Batu on the other side also exchanged pleasantries with Ruan Xukun and his sister.
Taking advantage of everyone's attention focused on Batu, Gu Chen quickly pulled He Wenhui aside and asked, "How is my friend?"
"Everything is fine." He Wenhui also said earnestly: "Your friend eats well and sleeps well, there is no problem at all."
"During this time, I have been taken care of by others. She can do anything except restrict her freedom."
"Are you sure what you said is true?" Gu Chen questioned again.
But He Wenhui patted her chest and assured her: "I am a person of credibility. It is indeed a hard work for you to be a hostage for my brother. Therefore, we will not treat your friends badly."
Glancing in the direction of Batu and Ruan Xukun, He Wenhui hurriedly asked again: "By the way, what's going on with Ruan Xukun?"
"I had a falling out with Marias, and I was almost killed by someone arranged by Marias. If it wasn't for me, he might be a corpse now."
"So, that's why you were reused?" After all, it was three days after Shibai, and He Wenhui felt that she had to look at Gu Chen with admiration.
Gu Chen also nodded silently, and voluntarily admitted: "So, Ruan Xukun now agrees to strengthen cooperation with you."
"In principle, as long as Ruan Xukun has what he wants, he will give it to Brother Batu. If he doesn't have it, he will try his best to get it for you."
"That's great." Seeing that Gu Chen had arranged all this clearly, He Wenhui also let out a long sigh of relief: "I didn't expect that you are quite capable. If you weren't He Wenjun at all, I'm afraid I would have really put it down. You are my poor brother."
"Is it true that He Wenjun's body was not found?" Gu Chen asked her.
He Wenhui nodded silently, her voice choked with sobs: "It would be great if I could find it. It was my selfishness that hurt He Wenjun."
"Then if I tell you that your brother He Wenjun was wronged back then, do you think..."
"What did you say?" Gu Chen's voice hadn't finished yet, but He Wenhui's eyes lit up, and she couldn't believe it:
"Speak clearly, what's the situation with my brother? Why was he wronged?"
It seems that she hasn't figured out what Gu Chen meant, but when she thinks of her younger brother's death in the sea, He Wenhui also feels a lot of guilt.
Gu Chen said earnestly, "Then let me tell you the truth. After Ruan Xukun was attacked by people lurking around Marias that night, both the attacker and the insider were caught, and they also admitted what happened back then."
"That is, your brother was deceived by the lurker arranged by Marias next to Ruan Xukun."
"Because your younger brother He Wenjun didn't know about Ruan Xukun's real business at all, so the lurker Abu told He Wenjun all this and threatened He Wenjun, but anyone who knew about Brother Kun's real business would have only one result in the end, that is die."
"So at that time He Wenjun was completely panicked and fell into fear, and the lurker Abu took advantage of your brother He Wenjun's innocence, so he pretended to help him, arranged for him to return to your ship, and sent him away."
After a pause, seeing He Wenhui's surprised face, Gu Chen hurriedly said again: "And this lurker Abu, as soon as your brother He Wenjun leaves, he will immediately call the police and pin all of this on He Wenjun's head."
"In this way, Ruan Xukun's business was basically a devastating blow back then. The Southeast Asian police not only destroyed his sales channels, but also arrested more than a dozen of Ruan Xukun's brothers."
"That's why Ruan Xukun found Batu and asked Batu to clean up the house."
Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen said helplessly, "It's just that I didn't expect Batu to be so vicious. He didn't care about He Wenjun's life and death, and directly forced him to jump into the sea to commit suicide."
Shaking his head, Gu Chen also had a look of regret: "It's a pity that He Wenjun was fooled by the lurker Abu, and finally became a scapegoat, and he died without evidence of guilt."
"It's all my fault that I believed Ruan Xukun's nonsense back then." He Wenhui felt a little regretful at the moment, and said with a sob in her voice: "If it weren't for the high pressure from Batu back then, I would never have let He Wenjun go to die."
"The original hostage should be me. I was greedy for life and afraid of death, and killed my brother. I deserve to die."
When He Wenhui said this, she couldn't help but choked up, which attracted the attention of Ruan Xukun and several boys.
Seeing this, Gu Chen quickly patted He Wenhui on the shoulder, pretending to be a reunion of siblings, so excited.
Gu Chen also reminded: "Can you keep your voice down? If Ruan Xukun's people find out, we will all be finished."
"Okay." He Wenhui wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, trying to calm herself down.
Noticing that Ma Zi was paying attention, He Wenhui tugged on Gu Chen's collar, pretended to straighten his shirt, and said loudly:
"Wen Jun, my sister made you suffer here."
"It's not hard." Gu Chen also pretended to cooperate, so he glanced at Batu and Ruan Xukun who were behind him, and also reminded: "Let's go first."
"Okay." Seeing that she couldn't wait for a long time to chat with Gu Chen privately in the corner, He Wenhui chose to come directly to Batu with Gu Chen.
But Gu Chen's position at the moment is also very clever.
He did not stand beside Batu and He Wenhui, but chose to stand behind Ruan Xukun, side by side with Gan Ting.
In this way, the delicate relationship between the two parties can be better highlighted.
Emotionally speaking, the He Wenjun pretended by Gu Chen is actually facing Ruan Xukun, which allows both parties to complete the negotiation in a relatively trusting environment.
"Batu, the price you gave is too low, please add more." Ruan Xukun was also a little displeased as he smoked a cigar.
Obviously, in the exchange just now, the two sides are still bargaining.
But obviously, Batu is also a business genius.
Knowing that Ruan Xukun was almost killed in his room by Marias from the south, and that he had already taken away the business from the south, it must be a key cooperation with him.
So Batu was also scheming and said: "Since it is a business, you have to show some sincerity."
"Now, the peers should gradually understand the delicate relationship between you and Marias."
"If I focus on cooperating with you, I will definitely offend Marias in the south."
"Are you afraid of Marias?" Ruan Xukun said with disdain.
But Batu smiled and waved his right hand, denying and saying, "Why am I afraid of him, Marias?"
"It's just that in Southeast Asia, I still have a lot of business and interests. Once I fall out with him, Marias, it will not be of much benefit to me."
"But if you are willing to cooperate with me for a long time and supply unlimited supplies, then I can use my influence in Southeast Asia to gradually eliminate Marias' influence and vent your anger for you."
"But in this way, the price is also expensive, but Brother Kun, you don't know the truth that wool comes from sheep, right?"
"What I pay must be earned back in related businesses, right?"
"So, you have to give me a price that is lower than the market price. As for me, I will also help you settle all Marias' interference. Everyone is mutually beneficial and win-win. What do you think?"
After Batu finished speaking, the scene suddenly fell silent.
On the bright side, Batu took a lot of advantage, and even acted like a good boy after taking advantage of it.
But from a practical point of view, if Batu really wants to be deeply bound with Ruan Xukun, he must help Ruan Xukun to solve the troubles of Marias in Southeast Asia.
Therefore, the transaction price given by Batu seems to be in line with Batu's usual way of doing business.
Since Ruan Xukun also knew in advance, Batu would definitely ask for more bargaining chips in the name of Marias in terms of the transaction price.
And Ruan Xukun also has his own psychological acceptance of the price.
Therefore, Ruan Xukun felt that he could compromise on the part that should be compromised.
After all, his future safety also needs absolute protection.
Otherwise, if Marias makes such nonsense again, maybe one day he will die in a daze.
Thinking that this wave of transactions is not a loss, Ruan Xukun immediately agreed and said: "Okay, I will give you the price you said."
"Haha, refreshing." Batu was extremely excited when he heard this, and immediately slapped his hands, feeling that this would be a pleasant transaction.
Afterwards, Batu motioned to Ma Zai, who was carrying a black leather bag, to put the things on the table and show them to Ruan Xukun.
Ma Zai immediately opened the zipper, and inside the black leather bag were bundles of banknotes.
Ruan Xukun glanced at it, and gestured to a horse boy beside him with his eyes.
And this horse boy opened an aquatic tank on the splint, took out a small fish, took out the dagger in his hand, and stroked the fish's belly lightly.
Then, with nimble fingers, he dropped a package of "goods" on the table.
The two parties immediately started the mutual inspection process.
At this moment, Gu Chen felt that the time was right.
At the very least, the two parties have already started trading, so Gu Chen took advantage of the crowd's focus on the trading table, and decisively used the keystrokes he had practiced no less than 300 times to decisively send out the signal.
Following Gu Chen's master-level observation skills, he finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the sound of "Di, Didi".
The signal has been sent, and the next thing is to wait for the rescuers to come and make dumplings for the two ships.
I don't know what kind of rescue force the frogman will bring?But Gu Chen is very clear that what needs to be done now is to adapt to the situation, effectively hold back both sides, and provide the necessary time for the coast guard to encircle.
Gu Chen began to observe the surrounding situation, and found that all the boys were standing on the ship's side, with their backs facing him, so Gu Chen was quite familiar with the deployment positions of these people.
The reason is very simple. Before going to sea, Gu Chen already knew the internal structure of the entire fishing boat and the deployment of personnel.
All that needs to be done now is to hold both sides together.
So after Gu Chen sent the signal, he waited for the transaction between the two parties again.
Gu Chen knew that the salted fish pretending to be cargo in the cabin should be moved to the plywood, and then Batu's people would inspect the cargo.
This kind of busyness basically takes a long time.
Why did Gu Chen ask Ruan Xukun to ask Batu and He Wenhui to change their normal ways and come to trade on their own fishing boat?
Of course, it is one thing to give Ruan Xukun a little step, but the most important thing is that after Batu and He Wenhui inspect the goods on the fishing boat, they are also responsible for carefully loading them onto the cargo ship.
During this period, it also takes a lot of time.
So once the coast guard ship approaches, these people want to evacuate quickly, and there is another issue of time involved here.
And if Batu and He Wenhui couldn't effectively evacuate to their own ship, the cargo ship would not dare to leave.
This can buy a certain amount of time.
Thinking that the only thing left to do now is to go to the warehouse to move the goods, Gu Chen felt that it was time for him to procrastinate.
After the sample testing was completed, Batu's boy nodded silently to Batu and He Wenhui, indicating that the product was top-grade.
Only then did Batu grin, and asked Ruan Xukun, who was counting the banknotes, "Your goods are fine, how are the banknotes counted?"
"No problem." Although counting the banknotes was a bit slow, Ruan Xukun's cronies also gave an affirmative answer.
Ruan Xukun was very satisfied, and also smiled lightly, shaking hands with Batu and teasing: "Since there is no problem, let's start."
"Okay, you guys take out all the goods, and I'll have someone prepare the rest of the money for you."
Batu was also quite satisfied with the transaction, and immediately signaled to the boy next to him to go back quickly and ask the younger brothers to bring over the remaining black leather bags.
Due to the huge transaction amount and the large number of goods, Gu Chen was also frightened.
It feels like this batch of goods is enough for everyone to sit and wear.
It can be seen that the rampant smuggling of contraband by this group of people has reached a point of insanity.
Seeing that one of Ruan Xukun's cronies was going to inform the cabin to move the cargo, Gu Chen quickly suggested, "Brother Kun, I'll go down to help."
"Okay." Knowing that He Wenjun was saving face for himself, Ruan Xukun readily accepted.
After all, considering the issue of He Wenjun's ownership, He Wenjun is He Wenhui's younger brother and Batu's younger brother.
Now being able to be reused on my own side, and to do things for myself, this is undoubtedly giving myself enough face.
Thinking of a win-win situation, Batu reminded his confidant Ma Zai: "Let He Wenjun pick up the goods, and you cooperate with him."
"Yes, Brother Kun." His confidant Ma Zai nodded silently, and then took Gu Chen into the cabin together.
Still a familiar environment, a familiar place.
At this moment, Gu Chen subconsciously touched his own gun, trying to calm himself down.
What I have to do now is to delay the time and let this batch of "commodities" stay in the warehouse as much as possible.
On the other side, just as the two ships stopped side by side to conduct transactions.
Two white fuselages on the sea surface, painted with red and blue stripes on the body, printed with the "China Coast Guard" badge and the "China Coast Guard" logo, are skimming the sea and quickly approaching the target.
