Jin Huashi, fearing that someone would see the two net bags full of gold coins, hurriedly covered them with burlap sacks.
In fact, it's unnecessary. This area of the sea has long been blacklisted by the locals. There isn't a single boat around, not even a bird.
Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou rested on the deck for two minutes, drying their hair with the towels Jin Huashi had prepared beforehand.
After touching her hair and finding it no longer dripping, Fu Wan called out to Jin Huashi, "Brother Jin, why don't we move the gold coins into the cabin first?"
"Okay, that's exactly what I was thinking."
With two large bags of gold coins, we definitely need to count them. It's not only windy on the deck, but also unsafe. Counting gold coins on the deck feels more like counting money on the street.
Without further ado, before Fu Wan could even make a move, Jin Huashi carried the gold coins in a net bag to the cabin. The net bag of gold coins probably weighed more than 20 kilograms, and Jin Huashi carried it with ease, showing no signs of sitting in an office all day without exercising.
The two net bags contained gold coins of different sizes. Fu Wan's bag was in better condition, but Bai Qianzhou's bag contained quite a few broken stones that had been put in due to time constraints.
The three of them picked through the coins again, inspecting each one before putting them into the sack Fu Wan had bought.
There were two net bags of gold coins, and after counting them, there were a total of 362 coins.
The weight should be over forty pounds. There are quite a few pieces that are severely worn, but they are all gold. Once I melt them down with fire, there will be no difference.
After counting the gold coins, Bai Qianzhou frowned as he looked at the two sacks of gold coins: "So many gold coins, are you really going to let Fujian Province ship them?"
When it comes to money, the most vulnerable thing is human nature. If anything goes wrong, all their efforts will be in vain.
Fu Wan said helplessly, "There's nothing we can do about it. If there were any legitimate way, who would want to go back like this?"
Jin Huashi nodded in agreement. "That makes sense. But don't worry, I have a way to disguise these gold coins. As long as the money arrives, just tell them it's urgent and important. Given the integrity of our people, it will arrive safely without any problem."
He then explained his plan in detail: the two sacks of gold coins would be divided into four portions, each hidden in a compartment of one of the four wooden boxes.
The four wooden crates weren't empty either; they would contain some American diving equipment. He would also notify the camp so that once the ship reached Chinese waters, someone would come to meet them and take the crates away.
Of course, comrades from the United States were also on board the ship. In short, the ship would be watched along the way, and no one else knew what it was, including the people from Fujian who were transporting the goods.
Therefore, there is basically no chance of anything going wrong.
After listening to Jin Huashi's detailed explanation, Bai Qianzhou's worry disappeared.
Oh dear, he thought it would be just two sacks to carry onto the boat, but it turns out they can disguise it and even have someone escorting them.
That's much safer!
After listening, Fu Wan gave Jin Huashi a thumbs up, "Brother Jin, your method is perfect, we can rest assured now."
Jin Huashi wasn't embarrassed by the praise; instead, he felt a little proud. He rarely interacted with his comrades and was usually very cautious. He had almost forgotten that he was once a spirited and passionate young man.
The gold coin issue is resolved, but there's still a major task to complete.
"So, what are your thoughts on that mission?"
Jin Huashi looked at Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou and asked them questions. In case Fu Wan was unaware of the situation, he explained it to her.
According to his understanding, the US intelligence agency received information that someone had previously lost a small box in a certain sea area.
The box contained the jade seal that had been stolen from China.
However, the news was a bit absurd, and the intelligence agency suppressed it. The reason it was absurd was that the sea area was a well-known area with strong undercurrents. The intelligence agency had sent people to explore it, but two people went, one died and the other was injured. After that, no one went there again.
Jin Huashi only learned this information yesterday, so he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Fu Wan and the others hadn't gone to the coordinates he had given them.
However, when he heard that Fu Wan and the others had gone to another undercurrent vortex area, his heart jumped again.
"These reports are guaranteed to be true, Comrade Fu. You have already helped the organization find a considerable fortune this time."
"Just to be safe, I think we should cancel the plan to find the imperial seal!"
Cancel?
That's impossible.
Fu Wan shook her head, her words filled with determination.
"No need, the Imperial Seal is our goal for this trip. If, as you said, the situation in that sea area is similar to here, I think I can handle it perfectly well."
"How about this, let's go there now and get it done in one go."
"What, now?"
"Yes, right now."
Jin Huashi was truly dumbfounded. He hadn't expected Comrade Fu to be so decisive. Tonight was a good night to strike while the iron was hot and go all out. Maybe there would be good news!
Thinking this, Jin Huashi immediately dragged the sack aside.
"I'll go steer the boat, you guys take a rest."
"Okay, then just drive there!"
Fu Wan responded to Bai Qianzhou, then turned to look at him, "Why don't you stay here for a while? Brother Jin just said the undercurrents there are more complicated..."
"We'll see. If I can't handle it, I'll come up here."
Bai Qianzhou said frankly that he had always been willing to risk his life to accompany Fu Wan, but he couldn't go into the water and hold her back.
The sea area Jin Huashi mentioned was a bit far from where they had just been. Fu Wan touched her hair, which was almost dry, and decided to go into the cabin to rest and recharge.
Bai Qianzhou was the same; after collecting gold coins at the bottom of the sea for so long and carrying such a heavy oxygen tank, he also felt a bit tired.
Jin Huashi was full of energy. Just thinking about going to that sea area to explore it was making his adrenaline surge to its peak.
Nervous, expectant, and with a touch of fear and worry.
Sailing the boat also helped alleviate some of her emotions. When Fu Wan opened her eyes after resting, Jin Huashi had already returned to his composed and strategic demeanor.
"There are undercurrents over there, so I won't go that way. The coordinates show this area, so please be very careful when you go down, and don't get swept away by the undercurrents."
"Okay, we understand."
Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou put on their full gear and then plunged into the water with two splashes.
Perhaps due to the undercurrents, there were far fewer fish in this area than in the previous one. Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou dived for quite a while before they spotted a few small fish, each about the size of a palm.
As they descended deeper, the light in front of Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou gradually dimmed. Fu Wan didn't move, while Bai Qianzhou turned on the small flashlight he was carrying.
The two carefully avoided the undercurrents. Fu Wan was the first to notice something unusual ahead and immediately pointed out the direction to Bai Qianzhou before swimming over at top speed.
