"Uncle!" Jiang Xiaocai hurriedly pulled Young Marquis Su back, his hands like the last line of defense against the impulsive storm. He anxiously advised, "We don't have any solid evidence yet. If we act rashly, it will only alarm them, alerting them prematurely and leading them to destroy the evidence. Then, it will be even more difficult for us to expose their crimes and bring them to justice. The most important thing right now is to find irrefutable, irrefutable evidence so that they can't deny the facts and surrender obediently."
After much deliberation and heated discussion, with everyone expressing their opinions, they ultimately decided to split up the operation into two groups, leveraging their respective strengths. Jiang Xiaocai and Wang Yi were tasked with infiltrating the Wang family sugar refinery and searching for evidence. Their youth, agility, and meticulousness made them well-suited to uncovering the truth from the shadows. Nianli and Su Qingyao journeyed south of the city to gain in-depth information about the Black Wind Gang. Their meticulousness and ability to discern subtle clues were crucial. Meanwhile, Young Marquis Su remained behind at the sugar shop, guarding against any unforeseen circumstances and ensuring stability and safety at home. His forthright and righteous character and exceptional skills made him well-suited to handling any potential emergencies.
Late at night, all was still, the entire capital seemed gently enveloped by the night, slumbering. Moonlight streamed across the streets and alleys, casting a mysterious veil over the bustling city. Under cover of darkness, Jiang Xiaocai and Wang Yi, like two nimble, silent black cats, quietly scaled the wall and infiltrated the Wang Family Sugar Refinery. A deathly silence reigned within the factory, as if time had stood still. Only the heavy footsteps of patrolling guards echoed through the empty factory, each one a knock on their taut nerves, shattering the suffocating stillness. They moved cautiously through the shadows, each step as light as a feather, yet weighted as a thousand pounds. They were constantly alert to their surroundings, their ears like sensitive radar, capturing every subtle sound. At this moment, they are like explorers groping forward in the dark. Everything around them is full of unknowns and dangers. Every step they take is full of caution and care, for fear that their whereabouts will be exposed by accident.
Finally, after a long and tense search, they successfully arrived at the factory director's office. Jiang Xiaocai lowered his voice, almost imperceptible like a gentle breeze, "I hope we can find something useful here. This may be the key to uncovering the truth." Wang Yi nodded slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of nervousness and anticipation. He skillfully opened the drawer, his movements like a seasoned hunter, and began to carefully search through the documents. Each document might contain a crucial clue, and he dared not slack off. Suddenly, he couldn't help but exclaim softly, "Xiaocai, come and take a look at this!" The voice was soft, but it was filled with an uncontrollable excitement.
Jiang Xiaocai hurried forward and saw Wang Yi holding a stack of contracts. The contracts clearly spelled out the terms of the cooperation between the Wang Family Sugar Factory and the Black Wind Gang. The terms clearly stipulated that the Black Wind Gang would employ various shady tactics to suppress other sugar merchants, while the Wang Family Sugar Factory would provide the Black Wind Gang with a certain amount of sugar each month as payment for their evil deeds. The black words, like ironclad evidence of their crimes, glared brightly in the dim moonlight.
"Great! This is the evidence we've been searching for!" Jiang Xiaocai whispered excitedly, his eyes gleaming with excitement, like the joy of finding treasure in the darkness. This evidence might be the key to victory.
However, at that moment, the sound of footsteps suddenly emanated from outside the door, gradually approaching. The footsteps were like the drumbeats of death, each one hammering at their fragile nerves. Their faces instantly turned pale, as if struck by a bolt from the blue. Their blood seemed to freeze in that moment. They hurriedly and carefully put the contract away, their movements swift and frantic, ducking under the table, not daring to breathe. Their hearts pounded violently in their chests, threatening to burst through, the rapid beatings resounding loudly in the silent room, and they feared the sound would betray their whereabouts.
The door creaked open slowly, a sound that was particularly harsh in the silent night, like the prelude to the arrival of the devil. Director Wang walked in with steady steps, followed by several members of the Black Wind Gang. Their figures were particularly eerie in the moonlight, like messengers from hell.
"Boss Wang, those sugar merchants have been much more obedient lately," said a man with a smug smile that was tinged with sickening flattery. He said flatteringly, "But Jiang Xiaocai is not someone you can easily deal with. We need to find a way to deal with him quickly. Otherwise, it could ruin our plans."
The Wang family's factory director snorted coldly, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes, as if he were looking at an insignificant ant. "What are you afraid of? With the Black Wind Gang here, you can't handle a young boy? By the way, how are the preparations for that batch of goods going? I hope nothing goes wrong. If this thing goes wrong, we'll all be in trouble."
"Don't worry, Boss Wang. Everything's been arranged perfectly," the man said with a sinister smile, the flesh on his face trembling with laughter, making him look particularly ferocious and terrifying. The laugh was like a curse from hell. "Tomorrow, we'll deliver it to the dock without anyone noticing. We guarantee no one will find out. Don't you trust us with your work?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaocai and Wang Yi exchanged glances beneath the table, each one witnessing deep shock. Their gazes held a mixture of fear at the truth and anger at the Wang family director's scheme. It seemed the Wang family director's scheme was far more complex and sinister than they had imagined. It seemed as if a vast, unknown secret lay hidden beneath it, like a behemoth lurking in the dark abyss, waiting for them to uncover its horrifying true face.
After everyone had left for a long time and they were sure there was no more movement around, the two men carefully crawled out from under the table. Wang Yi's face was unusually solemn, as if shrouded in a thick haze. He said, "Xiaocai, this is far more serious than we anticipated. We must hand this evidence to the authorities as soon as possible so they can receive the punishment they deserve. We must not allow them to continue their evil deeds and harm the business community."
"That's right!" Jiang Xiaocai nodded vigorously, his expression equally serious. His resolute eyes seemed to swear their resolve. "However, before that, we must find out exactly what the goods they're talking about are. Perhaps there's a bigger conspiracy hidden behind this. We must not miss any details and must thoroughly expose their crimes."
So, filled with nervous anticipation, the two men cautiously left the office and quietly made their way along the winding path through the factory grounds, heading towards the docks. The path seemed particularly deep and secluded in the night, as if it led to an endless unknown. Within the vast darkness, a more shocking secret lay, like a leviathan lurking in the darkness, its maw gaping, waiting for them to uncover its mysteries. Meanwhile, the capital city remained superficially peaceful and tranquil, its streets dimly lit, its people still enjoying the tranquility of their dreams. However, beneath this calm, a storm was brewing. Invisible forces were gathering, poised to sweep in with thunderous force, shattering this false tranquility.
