There were some clothes left behind by the big bear in the closet. Chen Li picked out a set of sportswear that was easy to move in and changed into. Because he was thinner than the big bear, the clothes looked a bit hip-hop.

Looking in the mirror, I put on a baseball cap, pulled the brim down, and I couldn't even recognize myself.

He walked to the window and parted the curtains a crack.

As night falls, the streetlights cast a dim yellow glow, and vehicles come and go downstairs, with occasional pedestrians moving about.

There must be eyes watching from the shadows. I glanced down and thought, "If I go out dressed like this, no one should recognize me."

My phone chimed.

Mu Ningshuang sent a message saying she had arrived at the designated location.

Chen Li left the lights on, and instead of taking the elevator, he went down the fire escape to the basement.

When we reached the fourth floor, the motion sensor light was broken and did not turn on.

I could vaguely see a woman with disheveled hair, hunched over, holding onto the stair railing, biting her lip and making whimpering noises.

The man behind her was stunned as he watched Chen Li come downstairs.

"Excuse me, could you please move aside?"

Chen Li walked down the stairs sideways, and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the drooping gourd.

When we got to the second floor, we heard humming and whining again.

After passing through the underground parking lot and exiting from the exit leading to the main road, I turned a corner and saw a red Cayenne parked under a large banyan tree, identical to the SUV photo that Mu Ningshuang had sent me.

He opened the passenger door and got in.

In the driver's seat, a young woman with dreadlocks, wearing a sports vest and sporting a large koi fish tattoo on her arm, was swaying to the music.

She turned her head in surprise and met Chen Li's gaze.

Three seconds later.

Mu Ningshuang and Chen Licai recognized each other.

"You, hahaha..."

Mu Ningshuang covered her mouth and laughed, thinking that her style of dress was too different from his, and that it was surprisingly similar to his.

"Stop with you, drive to the cargo terminal."

Chen Li helped her set up the navigation, then rested his head on his hands and leaned back in his chair to think about his next move.

"A cargo terminal? Is this some kind of thrill-seeking game?"

Mu Ningshuang thought he wanted to have sex in her car, so she specially borrowed her cousin's car, firstly to prevent anyone from following her, and secondly because it was spacious enough for her to have some fun.

I didn't expect this guy to be even more freakish, choosing such a terrain.

She used to think they were weird when she saw them discussing topics in their group chat that were so embarrassing that they would die of embarrassment if the rumors got out.

I'm only realizing now that it's quite interesting.

Is this what you call lust?

No.

It is an exploration of the joys of life.

Chen Li didn't bother to respond to her, as he was focused on thinking about his next plan.

More than forty minutes later.

The red Cayenne stopped by the sea, with a cargo terminal in the distance, large warehouses stretching out in a row, and the occasional whistle of cruise ships echoing from the sea.

Mu Ningshuang chose some romantic music and turned the ambient lighting to a rosy pink, instantly creating a tender and affectionate atmosphere in the car. She was ready to enjoy a passionate seaside adventure with Chen Li while feeling the sea breeze.

however.

Chen Li put on his wireless earbuds, looking around like he was catching a thief, without even glancing at the alluring cleavage she revealed.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

She found this guy boring and a real killjoy, and asked with dissatisfaction.

"The headlights are off. Tonight we need to track down the shipment of heroin that Yuan Tao helped Tiger pick up."

Chen Li explained.

"What? This is the exciting thing you were talking about?"

Mu Ningshuang was somewhat disappointed. So, after taking off her pants, she thought, anyone would complain about this.

"Isn't that exciting enough?"

Chen Li grinned mischievously and continued:

"Once we find this shipment, we shouldn't alert them. We should wait until they make the transaction with their next buyer before contacting the police department to arrest them all at once."

Mu Ningshuang sighed:

"Yuan Tao sent you to jail, so you should give him a taste of his own medicine."

"wrong."

Chen Li added:

"He has to die inside, and by revealing Tiger's identity, we can use the police force to wipe out the Black Tiger branch. It's killing two birds with one stone, which is better than doing it ourselves."

"Zhang Sankui has a buddy who's infiltrated Yuan Tao's inner circle. He's going to be involved in receiving the goods tonight, and he'll send me a message when they arrive."

Mu Ningshuang asked in confusion:

"So, what can I do for you?"

Chen Li replied:

"It's too far from the city center, and it's not easy to get a taxi here. Take me back after I've finished my business."

Mu Ningshuang rolled her eyes and sighed:

"You think my grandfather was wrong about you? You're really something."

Once you're on that pirate ship, you have no choice but to accept your fate.

"Beep beep~"

A notification tone came through the headset; it was a message from the hidden line.

"The cargo ship has arrived. Wait here and don't get out of the car. If there's any emergency, drive away immediately and stay in touch."

Chen Li pushed open the car door and got out.

"receive!"

Mu Ningshuang held her headset and sighed silently.

Chen Li walked into the chest-deep grass by the sea and, under the cover of night, quietly approached the cargo terminal.

A deep-sea fishing vessel docks at the shore.

The workers unloaded the harvested fish and shrimp from the boat.

The sailors then carried several large styrofoam boxes out of the hold and shouted to the workers:

"These are large lobsters ordered by Dynasty International Hotel for their wedding banquet. They need to be delivered immediately with oxygen. We will not be responsible if any problems arise."

"They're here, they're here."

The workers loaded several boxes of lobsters onto the truck, and the driver took them to the hotel.

Chen Li hid in the shadows, watching their every move. If he didn't hear a notification sound, it meant the goods weren't in the styrofoam box.

Sure enough, after the workers left...

Two sailors dragged iron chains and pulled two large wooden crates out of the water. After transporting them ashore, they loaded them onto a pickup truck, covered it with a tarpaulin, and drove it toward the cargo warehouse.

"Beep beep~"

A beep indicates that the goods are in the wooden crate.

With his Grandmaster-level strength, Chen Li moved swiftly under the cover of night, leaving a trail of afterimages behind him, making it difficult for ordinary people to catch his traces.

The pickup truck drove into warehouse number 18. Chen Li, as agile as an ape, silently climbed onto the roof of the warehouse and watched the actions below through the ventilation openings above.

There were six people in the freight warehouse. Four of them were carrying two wooden crates, which were placed together with the stacked goods and covered with tarpaulins.

Two people were left to guard the area, while the other four drove away.

To verify the authenticity of the goods in the box, Chen Li sat on the roof of the warehouse, waiting for the two men to lower their guard until midnight.

The sound of Mu Ningshuang dozing off came through the headset:

"Is it not ready yet?"

Chen Li, relying on his Grandmaster-level perception, discovered that the two were lying on the straw mat, their phone screens were off, and their breathing was steady, so they were probably asleep.

"Wait a little longer."

Chen Li gracefully leaped down from the ventilation duct and landed on the triangular steel frame beam of the warehouse. Like an old ape, he jumped a few times and landed silently, then quietly approached the two sleeping people.

He took a sliver of colorless and odorless anesthetic powder from his pocket and sprinkled it between their nostrils, allowing it to enter their bodies with each breath.

Soon, both of them went limp and lay completely flat.

"Get some sleep."

Chen Li clapped his hands, turned on his phone's flashlight, lifted the canvas, used a wire to open the brass lock, and lifted the wooden box lid, revealing a very well-sealed tarpaulin inside.

He took the contents out and carefully peeled back the layers of tarpaulin, revealing packets of white powdery substance.

He wasn't an addict and had nothing to do with gambling and drugs, but he listened dejectedly as he recounted how to distinguish between the real and the fake.

I cut open a packet, dipped my finger in it, and tasted it.

"Flour?"

A delicate sweetness of maltose melts on the tip of the tongue—it's flour.

Another package was opened randomly:

"It's still flour."

Open another box and cut open a package:

"And it's flour!"

There was no need to inspect the goods anymore. Chen Li packed the goods back in their original condition, restored them to their original state, moved them back to their original location, and covered them with a canvas.

"Don't move!"

A girl's voice came from behind, and the dark muzzle of a gun was pointed at the back of Chen Li's head.
