"Mr. Li! I'll see you tomorrow!" Jiang Junming grabbed the railing with both hands, leaned down and shouted.

"Good!" Li Qing smiled and waved, watching Jiang Junming's boat turn and go to the southeast.

He turned and the smile on his cheek disappeared in an instant.

"Hoo." Fang Yong breathed a long sigh of relief and looked relaxed. "Finally we can go home."

Li Qing glanced at the shadow of the ship gradually disappearing on the sea, then looked back at everyone on the deck and said in a deep voice, "let's sail."

More than 150 people were crowded on the boat. Jiang Yu had to temporarily place some people in the cargo hold to rest, and then walked into the rest cabin with Li Qing and others.

Several large black waterproof bags were placed in the middle of the cabin. Li Qing glanced carelessly, bypassed them and sat down in one of the chairs.

Fang Yong leaned over, grabbed the zipper and opened a black waterproof bag. Staring at the scattered banknotes inside, he couldn't help exclaiming: "shit! So much money! Can't it be all in these pockets?"

He turned his head and looked at Li Qing. He also looked at Jiang Yu and fan Huilan, who were also silent. He felt a little embarrassed. He had to pull the zipper back silently and find a seat to sit down.

The small cargo ship has set sail for Mingtai Jinjiao port. According to the original plan, at the speed of about 15 knots of this small cargo ship, they only need to wait another four or five hours to land at the port, and then ride safely back to the north of the port.

But at this moment, the atmosphere is not as relaxed as expected. There was a dead silence in the cabin with only four people.

Fang Yong was the first to lose his breath. He twisted his body on the chair, making the old chair under him make an uneasy "creak" sound.

"Hey, why don't you talk? We're going back soon. Why do they all seem listless?"

Li Qing gently shook his head: "No."

"Ah?" Fang Yong stared, stunned, "what's wrong?"

"No..." Li Qing continued to shake his head, repeated it again, and then stared at the void in front of him without blinking. "Where have Demeter's people gone?"

Fang Yong sighed: "Oh, brother Qing, why are you still struggling with this? It's estimated that they can't see you. They gave up on their own initiative and plan to find another chance in the future."

Li Qing said faintly, "the trump card in Zhao Zhen's hand hasn't come out yet. How can you give up."

Fan Huilan sat in the corner, in a shadow. She didn't say a word, as if she were a world, and everything around her had nothing to do with her.

"Sister fan." Li Qing suddenly turned his head and stared at her, "what do you think?"

"Me?" fan Huilan was surprised. "Why do you ask me?"

"Ha ha." Jiang Yu also looked at her without blinking and said with a grin, "Mr. Li thinks you are a smart man."

Fan Huilan gently "hum", thought for a moment and slowly opened her mouth: "purpose."

Jiang Yumei frowned: "purpose?"

Fan Huilan continued: "everyone has a purpose. At least you should know what the opponent's purpose is. On this basis, consider what means they will choose to take in order to achieve their purpose. There are still a few fools in the world. If there is a closer shortcut, few people will choose to go far."

"Purpose..." Jiang Yu repeated low, reaching out and gently rubbing the stubble on his chin. "If Demeter's purpose is only to destroy this transaction, he may not choose to conflict directly with us."

"Indeed." Li Qing nodded, "they choose to deal with Jiang Junming. It's much easier."

Jiang Yu frowned again: "but... Jiang Junming arrived at the scheduled position safely and there was no danger."

"Ouch." Fang Yong spread his hands, "it's no problem. Don't think about it. Things may not be so complicated at all."

"If..." Li Qing suddenly had an idea, "what if Zhao Zhen's real purpose is not to destroy this transaction?"

Jiang Yu's mouth tilted and looked at him askew: "what's the matter? His purpose is not to destroy, but to escort this transaction?"

Li Qing leaned forward slightly and his tone was a little hasty: "I mean, destroying this transaction is only Zhao Zhen's shallow purpose. Under this, there is a more important real purpose."

Jiang Yu still looked at a loss, but Li Qing rubbed his temples and suddenly felt a bright light: "Zhao Zhen transported a batch of arms to Mingtai last time and sent Du Huasheng to deal with the Jiang family under the guise of attracting the attention of the police."

"That's right." Jiang Yu nodded. "Their fundamental purpose is always to destroy the Jiang family, not simply to destroy a transaction."

Li Qing said: "wrong."

"Hmm?" Jiang Yu blinked and turned his head to look at him. "What's wrong?"

Li Qing explained: "Zhao Zhen's fundamental purpose is not to destroy the Jiang family, but to seize the arms market in Southeast Asia."

Fang Yong raised his hand without hesitation: "brother Qing, I don't understand. What are you talking about?" "I might as well say it more clearly." Li Qing pretended to glance at fan Huilan in the corner, then took back his eyes and stared at the water pocket containing money in the rest cabin. "Why did Zhao Zhen destroy the deal between me and the Jiang family?" he paused slightly, Li Qing continued: "Because as long as we destroy the transaction between us, the Jiang family will fall into two options. One is to stop arms sales, and the other is to find new partners. If the Jiang family stops the arms business, which has been the main source of profits for a long time, it is tantamount to self destruction, which will never be considered by Jiang Yuanzhou. When they turn to looking for new trading partners, There is only one possibility left. At that time, Demeter will come up with a new way to destroy the Jiang family. "" ah, I see! "Fang Yong suddenly realized," brother Qing, what do you mean? Zhao Zhen's ostensible purpose is to destroy your transaction, but actually it is to destroy the Jiang family. Tut Tut, interesting. "Li Qing waved his hand: "It's much more than that. What's Zhao Zhen's purpose to destroy the Jiang family? If the Jiang family is not here, the reactionary armed forces and bandits in Southeast Asia will have no source of weapons, and they must find new suppliers. Therefore, Zhao Zhen's most fundamental purpose is to seize the arms market in Southeast Asia." "Tut Tut, to destroy the transaction is to destroy the Jiang family; to destroy the Jiang family is also to seize the market. It's really a big game of chess." Jiang Yu smiled and turned to Li Qing, "but... What's the use of this?" Li Qingdao: "Now that we know that Zhao Zhen's fundamental purpose is to replace the Jiang family and become an arms supplier in Southeast Asia, according to the idea just put forward by sister fan, just consider the problem fundamentally. If Zhao Zhen has another opportunity to bypass such a large circle and directly replace the Jiang family as an arms supplier in Southeast Asia ? "ah?" Jiang Yu frowned tightly and remained silent for a long time before slowly opening his mouth. "Do you mean... Zhao Zhen bypassed us and followed Jiang Junming to Southeast Asia?" "Don't you think it's very possible? Unless Zhao Zhen kills me, even if he destroys this transaction, he can't shake the Jiang family's determination to cooperate with me. In fact, his plan to kill me failed." Fang Yong finally understood a little and hurriedly said, "ah, the murder case in the apartment is actually aimed at brother Qing." "That's right." Li Qing nodded. "In this case, Zhao Zhen might as well follow Jiang Junming to Southeast Asia instead of taking great risks against me. If he makes trouble when Jiang Junming trades arms with Southeast Asians, he will greatly reduce the credibility of the Jiang family." "Indeed, it is the most cost-effective choice for Zhao Zhenlai." Jiang Yu said in a deep voice, "but we have all noticed that they are not on Jiang Junming's ship. Are there any... Omissions?" Li Qing looked slightly coldly: "there should be no omissions. In order to hide their identity, they will certainly not be exposed early and will choose to board halfway." Fang Yong said: "But Jiang Junming is not a fool. It's impossible for them to board the ship?" Li Qing looked at Jiang Yu again. "Jiang Junming brought 70 or 80 people this time. Do you think the food and fresh water stored on the warship are enough to support them to reach southeast Asia?" "It's definitely not enough. We didn't prepare for a long voyage before, so we didn't fully prepare the materials. According to their number, the food and water on the warship can only last for four or five days at most, while it takes at least ten days to go to Southeast Asia. This is still under the condition of good weather and smooth sailing." with these words, Jiang Yu suddenly remembered something and slapped his hands, "By the way, they will dock along the way and replenish materials!" Li Qing whispered: "Zhao Zhen will sneak into the ship at that opportunity..." I need to send a message to director Zhong right away. I'll go now. " With these words, Jiang Yu turned and hurried out of the rest cabin. Fang Yong stared at Jiang Yu's back and disappeared at the cabin door. He turned to look at Li Qing, and then at fan Huilan. The corner of his mouth pulled hard: "brother Qing, what should we do now?" Li Qing leaned back and sighed softly: "Let Ruoxi think about it. Now we can only pray silently and hope that there will be no other trouble." "yes." Fang Yong nodded repeatedly. "I haven't eaten anything since last night. It's killing me. Now I really want to go home." This novel has been translated by www.readwn.com and if you are reading this somewhere, they have stolen our translation.
