After bringing Lu Chuan and Hu Jicheng back to the company, You Tianfu directly prepared offices for them in the Daqin Group and provided each of them with a car. In addition, he specially prepared a house in the old city, which was located right between the seaport and the pier. The two of them lived together and could take care of each other.
The company has just gotten on track, and all routes have not been fully opened. Only the waterway remains unobstructed, so the wharf takes on almost 70% of the business. Lu Chuan is also very busy every day, with dozens of brothers, and he opens his eyes to this day.
At first, Lu Chuan would go home to stay every night, but as Hu Jicheng and Bai Qiaoyun confirmed their relationship, the two of them stayed together day and night, and naturally slept in the same bed at night. Although it did not occupy Lu Chuan's room, it was still a bit inconvenient.
In order to create a perfect love environment for Hu Jichong, and because the dock was so busy that people sometimes had to start working in the early morning, Lu Chuan simply didn't go back and completely left the house to them. He then converted a container into a small house at the dock and lived there directly.
The space in the container is actually not small. After installing an air conditioner and a chandelier, and then putting in a small bed and some tables, chairs and benches, it is enough for one person to live in.
It’s just that the straight structure seems a bit crowded. Lu Chuan is not picky. Having a place to live is better than squatting outside in the wind and sun.
Lu Chuan made a total of ten small houses converted from containers like this, and placed them in a row in a place where they would not be in the way. At the same time, he also built several awnings on the side to provide shade and shelter from the summer heat, so that his younger brothers could take a temporary rest.
That night, several nearby merchants came to the Daqin Group's territory with wine and meat, and had a meal with Lu Chuan specifically to thank him for teaching Xu Biao a lesson and letting everyone vent their anger.
Lu Chuan had always had a good reputation at the dock. Many old merchants had received his care and favors, and would occasionally come over with wine and meat for a drink and a meal in their spare time.
This made Lu Chuan regain some of his old feelings. He didn't hesitate and directly put four small tables outside the container house to form a big table. Everyone put the things they brought on the table, chatted happily, and drank happily.
After a good meal and a full drink, Lu Chuan's face was covered with drunkenness. With the support of his two younger brothers, he staggered back to the container. Not long after, the sound of thunderous snoring could be heard.
Not long after, the rest of the people also dispersed. The brothers who needed to go home went home, and those who needed to be on duty went on duty. The dock became quiet again.
In the minds of the younger brothers, Lü Chuan should have been sleeping in the container house. But now, looking at the empty bed, the younger brother panicked and said in surprise, frowning, "This...this isn't right! I personally helped Brother Dao in, and I covered him with a blanket for fear that he would catch a cold. I haven't seen him come out since then. How...how could he just disappear?!"
The remaining brothers also came over, and their reactions were surprisingly consistent, because everyone saw Lu Chuan go back to sleep with their own eyes, and now a living man weighing more than 200 pounds disappeared out of thin air. No one could figure out what was going on.
Hao Zhengguang's expression grew increasingly grim, while Jiang San's eyes were blazing with anger. He fiercely glared at the men on duty and shouted, "What the hell are you doing standing there? Find someone!"
Next, the younger brothers searched almost the entire dock and checked the container houses one by one, but they could not find any trace of Lu Chuan anywhere. It was as if he had really disappeared out of thin air!
A group of people stood at the dock with frowns on their faces, not knowing what to do, but Lin Lidong went back into the container house. He had been a scout for many years, and although he was a bit reckless and ruthless, his control over details was still slightly better than that of ordinary people.
While everyone outside was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, he stood calmly in the container, looking around, taking in every item in the room, and finally stopped his gaze on the bedside table next to the cot.
On the bedside table, Lu Chuan's mobile phone screen was placed vertically with the screen facing the wall.
When a normal person puts down their mobile phone before going to bed, they will definitely throw it away casually. It may be with the back facing up, or it may even fall under the bed, but it will definitely not stand upright on the cabinet. It is obviously done on purpose.
I picked up my phone and saw that it was out of battery. That was why Jiang San called and asked me to turn it off.
Somehow, Lin Lidong felt that the breakthrough was in this mobile phone, so he took out the charger and charged it for a few minutes. After restarting the phone and fiddling with it for a few times, he immediately found a video in the album!
The video was shot a few hours ago, just after Lu Chuan went back to the room to sleep. Considering the location of the phone, Lin Lidong became more certain of what he was thinking. He increased the brightness and volume and watched it patiently.
Lu Chuan's face appeared at the beginning of the video. He was lying on his side on the bed, his eyes blurry with drunkenness, as if he might fall asleep at any time. But he turned on the recording function of his mobile phone, and then placed it on the bedside table. The camera was facing the direction of the door, which could capture 80% of the scenes in the whole house.
What followed was a long period of silence. After about forty minutes, the door was suddenly opened gently, and then four figures appeared one after another. They were not the subordinates. They all wore black masks on their faces. After tiptoeing in, they first looked at Lu Chuan's condition, then pulled him up and carried him on someone's back, and left quietly!
Their movements were clean and efficient, with almost no communication between them, and it was obvious that they had planned it in advance.
The whole process was silent. Only when Lu Chuan was carried on his back, the guy below couldn't help but complain: "Fuck, how the hell did this guy eat? He's so heavy!..."
The man next to him cursed softly, "You weigh over 200 pounds, too. I'm not asking you to carry me all the way back to the sugar factory on the outskirts of the city. Why are you complaining? Stop it and get going!"
It took less than twenty seconds for the four people to appear and leave, and Lu Chuan disappeared in the container house just like that.
After that, no one showed up until the phone ran out of battery and turned off automatically. The video was then automatically saved and ended completely.
Jiang San's face darkened instantly after watching the video. He glanced at the guy on duty in front of him and slapped him in the face: "Fuck you, is this how you guys work? You can have someone carrying over 200 pounds right under your noses, and those two holes under your eyebrows are for breathing!?"
