Chapter 285 I Believed in You
At the same time, Zhounan Port.
Jiang Jingyan and Lian Zhuo stayed here for the whole day.
There was nothing wrong with the batch of goods last night. This is a common routine in smuggling cases. They bluff and throw the hook, cause a misunderstanding, and then take advantage of the ambush to slip away under the nose.
Fortunately, Jiang Jingyan kept his composure and ordered all the spies and bodyguards to hold their ground.
"A new group of people have been dispatched at the dock." Lian Zhuo handed over a bottle of water. "Spy No. 7 has withdrawn with his men."
Jiang Jingyan's eyes were dark, and he drank half a bottle. "Three shifts of people are on duty at the dock. If they don't withdraw, it will arouse suspicion."
"Three people were evacuated, and two people were replaced by those who were unloading. There is no one at the checkpoint."
He didn't say a word, his fingers resting on the sides of his face, and he looked very murderous.
About ten minutes later, news came from the main road that a group of unregistered vehicles had parked three kilometers away from the pier, and several fishermen got out of the car. They did not look like professionals.
Lian Zhuo held the intercom and gave orders to the dock, "Everyone, take your positions. The container area will take the lead, and people will stay in the cargo hold to provide support. Once the boxes are opened for inspection, our people will take the lead."
"receive."
Jiang Jingyan looked at his watch to see the time.
At 7:30, which was the time when the staff were changing shifts, the suspicious vehicle produced a forged cargo inspection pass. However, it encountered irresponsible people and the checkpoint let it go. Moreover, with the privilege granted by Zhang Ting, the cargo ship could be loaded directly upon arrival at the port, which greatly shortened the time required.
He crushed the mineral water bottle and tossed it aside. "When the unloading is complete and the person who signed shows up, notify Liang Jing immediately."
"clear."
At nine o'clock sharp, all cargo and personnel were on board.
Lian Zhuo stared at the deck through a telescope. Jiang Jingyan activated the intercom and walked aside. "What's the situation at the abandoned dock?"
There was a crackling sound of electricity, and the other end replied, "There's a fake-brand off-road vehicle, the same one from last night."
"What are you unloading?"
"Like documents or something, in five bundles."
Jiang Jingyan's expression darkened. "Be careful with any igniters."
Lian Zhuoxin was startled and turned to look.
"Everyone, keep a safe distance and wear protection." Jiang Jingyan nodded.
Lian Zhuo understood and sent the message he had edited in advance.
Immediately afterwards, the deck was crowded with people.
Lian Zhuo picked up the binoculars and warned, "Someone is coming."
He held his breath and watched the man being surrounded in the center, with several bodyguards looking around vigilantly.
"It's a woman." The light and shadow were flickering in the wind and waves. Lian Zhuo caught a glimpse of her profile and gasped, "It's Miss Zhang."
Jiang Jingyan was also shocked that Zhang Ting actually let his daughter come forward.
He stood sideways in the shadows, and indeed no one paid attention to the procedures, and the ship successfully entered the control area and lined up.
There are two ships waiting for inspection ahead. The waiting time for the first checkpoint is short and it will leave in ten minutes.
The second cargo ship was specially prepared by the informant and took a long time to inspect, which was used to buy time for Liang Jing.
At half past ten, the second boat left.
Almost at the same time, a report came over the intercom, "Mr. Jiang, the customs anti-smuggling team has arrived and is preparing to deploy the interception net."
"We must arrest him within the country. Don't miss the opportunity." Jiang Jingyan said coldly as he handed the intercom to Lian Zhuo. "You keep an eye on him. I'll go to the abandoned dock."
"There aren't many people there. If a firefight gets too dangerous, I'll go with you."
"In addition to transferring Li Xiangli, the Zhang family also wanted to destroy the accounts between Huangjia International and the money houses. When the coast guard was dispatched, they deliberately fled and then set fire to the ship, which just achieved their goal. Only by splitting the troops into two groups can we seize the initiative." He pressed the wallet on his chest and strode out.
Lian Zhuo had no time to stop it and his face turned red with anxiety.
Not long after Jiang Jingyan left, Liang Jing's voice came from the intercom, "Jingyan?"
He quickly replied, "Secretary Liang, it's me. I'm glad you're here. A suspicious individual appeared at the abandoned dock. Mr. Jiang was afraid someone would destroy the evidence during the chaos, so he rushed there alone."
Liang Jing was anxious and couldn't help but scold, "You are so brave!"
Suddenly, the sound of an explosion lit up the entire sky, and flames rose from the sea not far away, making Lian Zhuo's eyes red.
…
Aunt Tang was very satisfied with the troupe's program.
The troupe leader followed the housekeeper to the main hall, praising her all the way, "That Miss Chen's erhu playing is so wonderful! Our second uncle wants to take her in as his apprentice after seeing her!"
The housekeeper laughed, "We can't make the decision on Miss Chen's affairs. Not even my aunt can make the decision."
The troupe owner was surprised. The housekeeper glanced forward and whispered, "Miss Chen is having a great time on the stage. She hasn't been as relaxed as she is today in the past few days. My aunt won't mind, but Miss Chen is not in good health. Please don't mention it too much."
At this moment, Chen Qing was practicing with his second uncle from the opera troupe, performing one song after another, and even improvising a medley.
She said she had a great time the whole night, but she just couldn't stop feeling anxious, so she just played the erhu to pass the time.
The troupe was about to leave, and when she turned around, the Pipa Girl was nowhere to be seen.
The bodyguard captain approached and reported, "She followed Miss Li to her bedroom. Should we detain her?"
"No need." Chen Qing packed up his violin case and pressed his chest hard. "We know who has bad intentions, so just keep a close eye on them. Even if she's not here, there will be another one, and they might be even harder to deal with."
She stepped down and went to the pavilion to say goodbye to her second uncle.
The shadows of trees stretch out on the back mountain, and you can vaguely see the flashing of car lights.
Chen Qing narrowed his eyes and looked around, and suddenly saw a figure on the lower slope of the mountain. The figure in the black windbreaker was swaying between the branches. If it weren't for the car lights, it would have been integrated into the car.
She somehow stepped onto the stairs behind the pavilion.
The bodyguard followed closely and reminded, "Ms. Chen, there are no surveillance cameras there."
She stopped and took a closer look at the man's face.
"Wait for me here." Chen Qing tilted his head, "Let me take a look at the night view."
The bodyguard was extremely alert and watched her climb up step by step.
Behind the stairs was a fenced-off earthen slope. The old courtyard wall had not yet been rebuilt, and it was only half a person's height, piled with bricks. This earthen slope connected to the top of the mountain, and beyond it was the path down the mountain.
Chen Qing stood still on the top step. The figure on the hillside had moved in front of her. His black windbreaker was stained with mud, but he did not look shabby at all, only dignified and noble.
"Qing'er." Yan Baiqing's voice was hoarse, and he glanced at her. "They said you were safe. Fortunately, I saw it with my own eyes."
Chen Qing looked at him without saying a word.
Yan Baiqing didn't care and smiled dotingly, "The piece you just played was the one you first played for me at the Yan family."
"I remember." She suddenly said, "It was after the kidnapping at the train station. You were injured because of me, so I went to the Yan family to take care of you."
The man's smile faded in an instant.
"Has Qi Kai been your man from the beginning? He placed cameras in the house I rented, colluded with the landlord to molest me, and hired thugs to kidnap me at the station in revenge. Did you instigate all of this? You got the physical evidence and went to the city bureau to help me argue with Tao Siran. You did this to make me lose my guard against you, right?"
Yan Baiqing frowned, his expression a little lonely, "You asked me that before, and I answered it."
Chen Qing lowered his head, his voice half humiliated and half relieved, "Mr. Yan, I believed you."
