Chapter 2 Returning (2)
As time pa.s.sed, night had already fallen. The huge searchlight on the dock had already begun to s.h.i.+ne.
”Mr. Ji, it's time to board the s.h.i.+p.” Li Guoliang reminded in a low voice, ”It's almost time!”
”Let's wait a little longer!” Ji Feng said.
”Mr. Ji, it's not too safe on the dock.” Li Guoliang said in a low voice, ”Now that the cargo s.h.i.+p is almost full, there will be workers on the dock and people from the sea patrol to inspect it. If they find out, it will be very troublesome …”
Ji Feng frowned slightly as he asked in a low voice, ”How much time do you have left?”
Li Guoliang looked at his watch and said, ”There's still less than half an hour, but if we wait until then, it would be too late to get on the s.h.i.+p even if we want to. We'll be discovered easily, and even if we give them more money, we probably won't be able to get on the s.h.i.+p.”
Ji Feng nodded slightly. Li Guoliang only explained a little bit, and Ji Feng understood.
Actually, this route out of the United States was not unknown to the United States. Strictly speaking, it should be known by the American public officials working on the docks, or by their superiors.
But as long as they gave money and didn't do anything too excessive, they would turn a blind eye. In other words, these people were also reaping the benefits. This was how they were going to earn some gray money.
However, it would be too much if they got on the boat when they were on patrol. This bunch of Americans were very cunning, if the smugglers got on the boat before them, they would pretend that they didn't know. Even if something were to happen, they would at most be charged with being unfavorable, and it would not be too serious for them to deal with them.
However, if the smuggling was carried out openly in front of them, the consequences would be dire if they were prodded out. They might even be named as accomplices in the crime.
Anyone who had ever been in the lowest rung of society would understand all of this.
Ji Feng was also very clear on this, but he couldn't leave yet.
Ji Yu had already called just now, saying that she was here to send him off. Of course, Ji Feng didn't need her to send him off, but to see what she had brought with her!
Ji Yu: ”What can I bring you? It will determine how Ji Feng will interact with the Bamboo Gang in the future. It will also determine whether he and Ji Yu will be able to maintain a friendly relations.h.i.+p!”
”Young Master Ji, let's wait here. Will the news leak out again?” White Pearl suddenly asked.
”Hmm?” Ji Feng was slightly startled.
”Last time, when this information was leaked, it was due to the Bamboo Gang. This time around, we did not have any preparations. If it was leaked and a powerful enemy suddenly attacked us, then …” White Pearl hesitated, ”Should I go and prepare?”
”... ”Alright then!”
Ji Feng contemplated for a moment before nodding his head in agreement.
He could not make any preparations, but it was necessary for White Pearl to do so.
Bai Zhu understood what Ji Feng meant. She nodded slightly before quickly leaving, disappearing into the darkness.
After leaving, Ji Feng handed a cigarette to Li Guoliang and asked, ”Guoliang, give me one?”
Li Guoliang nodded and smiled, ”Sure! ”Since coming to the United States, you've had very few chances to smoke!”
Ji Feng laughed, ”That tragic?”
”It can't be helped. After all, this is not an army or a hiring force. There are many habits that have to be changed. If not, people might be able to find flaws or even find out the origin of this place …” Li Guoliang smoked happily and said, ”I really do miss being a mercenary.”
Ji Feng laughed heartily, ”Does that mean you are not a person who only covets peace and quiet?”
Li Guoliang shook his head and laughed, ”No, it's just that I've been idle for a long time, so my hands are itchy.”
Ji Feng laughed, ”Are you still free during this period of time?”
Li Guoliang said with a smile, ”It was certainly exciting and fun following you, but after you left, didn't I have nothing better to do here?”
When he was with Ji Feng, Li Guoliang had been living under extreme stress every day.
Extinguis.h.i.+ng Mountain Pa.s.s, killing those gang leaders, b.l.o.o.d.y battles in the Long Street … …
It had only been a few days since Ji Feng arrived in New York, but the battles he had experienced in such a short period of time were definitely more than the ones he had experienced since he left the Hired Legion, and they were even more exciting.
But now that Ji Feng was leaving, and Li Guoliang was still staying in the United States, who knew how boring the days to come would be …
Upon hearing this, Ji Feng could not help but smile faintly. Judging from Li Guoliang's att.i.tude, if he could convince his little uncle when he returned, it would be natural for him to call Li Guoliang over.
As the two of them were talking, a light suddenly flashed in the car's rear view mirror. It was the light of a car.
”Someone's coming!” Li Guoliang said in a deep voice.
”Get ready!” Ji Feng said as he threw the cigarette b.u.t.t into the ashtray.
”Buzz buzz ~ ~!”
Soon, the faint roar of the engine could be heard as three cars approached from the distance.
”Bang bang bang …”
The people in the three carriages quickly got off. From the carriage in the middle, a charming figure got off. It was Ji Yu, the one Ji Feng had been waiting for.
”It's the eldest miss of the Bamboo Gang!” Li Guoliang said softly.
