Chapter 2846 A Nest of Snakes, Insects, and Rats
On the helicopter.
Yang Xiaotao, Wang Lao, and Yu Zecheng put on the earmuffs they had found and huddled together to look at the information in their hands.
Beside him, Wangcai lay listlessly again, while Xiaowei remained in Yang Xiaotao's pocket.
Ahead, a train is slowly moving forward.
"Old Wang, aren't you feeling unwell?"
Yang Xiaotao glanced at the documents in Yu Zecheng's hand, then ripped open Old Wang's earmuffs and shouted loudly.
Old Wang slapped Yang Xiaotao's hand away, then glanced at him and said, "Hey Xiao Yang, don't make fun of me now."
"Can I afford to fall behind now?"
"We finally found a clue. Even if it means vomiting, I have to crawl over there."
As Old Wang spoke, his teeth clenched so tightly they made a grinding sound.
This time he was truly enraged.
They finally managed to get a computer from the Ninth Department. If these damned guys really break it, wouldn't the Seventh Department of Machinery Industry suffer a huge loss?
When have they, from the Seventh Ministry of Machinery Industry, ever encountered something like this?
"Damn it, if I find these bastards, I'll make sure they eat peanuts."
Old Wang said in a harsh voice.
Yang Xiaotao smiled, not finding anything wrong with it.
These days, even hooligans get punished, let alone thieves, especially those who steal important revolutionary property.
However, Old Wang's eyes darted around, and then he said, "Young Yang, if this computer gets damaged, your Ninth Department will have to help fix it."
"If it really doesn't work, you'll have to give us another one."
Old Wang stared at Yang Xiaotao and spoke loudly, but Yang Xiaotao just pointed to the earmuffs he was wearing and pretended not to hear.
Old Wang was speechless, then cursed his bad luck and sulked in the cabin.
Yu Zecheng had no intention of getting involved in the matter between the two. After carefully reviewing the information in his hand, he said, "This Sun Yaping's identity should be fine."
"The information the other party registered at the station indicated that they got off in Xiangfan, which is consistent with the address registered in their place of origin."
"However, I don't think the other party will go directly back to Xiangfan. They will definitely get off somewhere along the way, but there are still two stops between here and Xiangfan, namely Muye and Guancheng."
"Personally, I think it should be Guancheng, because it's close to Xiangfan, so the other party can get home quickly."
"Therefore, we need to arrange for someone to go to Guancheng in advance."
Yu Zecheng shouted loudly, then looked at Yang Xiaotao and Old Wang.
Then there was a moment of frustration.
The two men were seen leaning against one side of the cabin with their eyes closed.
It turns out all my analysis just now was for nothing.
He casually put the documents aside, then pressed his earmuffs hard and turned his head to look at the scenery below.
On the train.
Yang Zhi, Stone Monkey, and two others positioned themselves around the carriage, keeping a close watch on the target from all sides, never letting their guard down for a moment.
Meanwhile, in her seat, the target woman, Sun Yaping, was leaning back, watching the scenery outside the window rushing past, her mind filled with the million yuan she was about to receive, her expression growing increasingly excited.
"Sun Shengjun, Sun Shengbao, you two bastards better not get any funny ideas."
"Otherwise, I won't let you off the hook."
Sun Yaping thought of the two brothers from the same clan. These two guys entered the industry late and took over their father's work, so they didn't understand some of the principles properly.
She was afraid those two guys would cause trouble.
At the same time, he had some reservations about the leader, the 'Great Sage'.
In this line of work, you can only trust your old buddies more.
Even though they are juniors, their actions still make people worry.
Thinking of this 'Great Sage' who led the group, Sun Yaping felt a surge of admiration.
This person is quite capable.
Not only are they highly capable, but they also have extensive knowledge and many connections.
Of course, he is also ruthless.
As the saying goes, "Those who live near mountains live off the mountains, and those who live near water live off the water," so the Great Sage gathered together those who frequently traveled along the train lines, and then used forceful methods and meticulous action plans to accomplish one incredible feat after another.
Just like this time, if the operation goes smoothly, they will do the same as before, disappearing long before the other party realizes something is wrong and living a good life.
We'll wait for the Great Sage's next summons, then go down the mountain and pull off another heist.
The saying goes, "If you don't open for business for three years, you can live off it for three years once you do."
But so far everything is going relatively smoothly.
Moreover, she learned that this time the gains far exceeded those of before.
Their gang only had eight people.
Besides the four of them, there are also the Great Sage's two brothers, one named Azure Dragon and the other named White Tiger.
Over the years, everyone has been calling them by their nicknames, and very few people actually call them by their real names.
There is another one named Wang Guiping.
As for the last person, none of them had ever seen him, and only the Great Sage knew about him.
It was with that person's help that they were able to act accurately and complete their mission quickly.
After scolding her like that, the woman began to fantasize about how much money she would get, and how she would take so much money home. If she didn't take it home, how would she hide it? She couldn't let the rats eat it.
Thinking about this, I closed my eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep.
While the woman was asleep, five people were casually resting in a tenement building on Zhongbei Street in Guancheng, their eyes fixed on the machine in the middle of the room, full of curiosity.
crunch
The door opened, and a middle-aged man in a factory security guard uniform walked in.
"The Great Sage."
"Brother Sun!"
"Uncle~"
As the middle-aged man walked in, the group immediately stood up from their respective places, their expressions respectful.
"Sit down, sit down!"
The Great Sage spoke with a sense of intimacy, then walked to the middle of the house and examined the things he had just taken out of the box.
"Bro, what is this thing?"
A tall, thin middle-aged man walked up and asked.
The Great Sage frowned and then gently shook his head.
"I don't know, who knows what this thing is?"
The group looked disappointed when they heard what the Great Sage said.
The tall, thin middle-aged man said unhappily, "What on earth is this guy doing? He just laid a bunch of anti-tank mines. I was almost scared to death when I pulled them out."
"That thing is still hidden in the cave."
"Now look what's happened, they've gotten another piece of junk, this thing is obviously worthless."
The thin, middle-aged man spoke indignantly, while Da Sheng, standing to the side, was also seething with anger.
They only acted once in a long while, because they were afraid of attracting attention.
But you still have to reap a great harvest.
Now that they've gotten their hands on this thing, what are they going to do?
"Alright, this was an accident."
The Great Sage glanced at the middle-aged man, who immediately shut his mouth.
He could complain about the person who provided the information, but he would never dare to show the slightest disrespect to the Great Sage.
It wasn't just the other party's ability, but also because the other party had control over their family members.
"Uncle Sun, why don't we take this thing apart?"
At this moment, a young man with a screwdriver walked up and said, "I just took a look, and this machine has a lot of alloy in it. It could fetch a good price if we took it out."
After the young man finished speaking, the remaining young man also stood up and said, "That's right, Uncle."
"We've worked so hard to get this, we can't just go back empty-handed."
The two young men standing together actually looked somewhat alike.
Upon hearing their words, the Great Sage shook his head immediately, "No, according to our rules, anything we bring, except for money and supplies, cannot be brought into the open."
At this point, the Great Sage fixed his gaze on the two of them, "You two entered this business late, so I won't blame you this time." "But remember this, what we're doing now is a matter of life and death."
"Think about your wives and children, think about what will happen to them if something happens to you, and you will know what you can and cannot do."
The middle-aged man spoke calmly, but both young men felt immense fear.
Especially when it came to the issue of their family background, the two lowered their heads and avoided eye contact, returning to their seats without a word.
Upon seeing this, everyone else in the room started laughing.
"Don't worry, kids. Old Sun is our brother. There will be plenty of opportunities to make money, and he certainly won't let you miss out."
A middle-aged man holding an enamel mug spoke up from the corner.
The two nodded quickly, "Thank you, Brother Hu."
Everyone else nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this.
In their view, everyone makes mistakes, and if it doesn't work this time, then try again next time.
They have plenty of time anyway.
"Guiping, take the things back to the village and keep it a secret."
The middle-aged man spoke last, making the arrangements, and the middle-aged man named Guiping immediately agreed.
This wasn't the first time he'd done something like this, so he was quite adept at it. "Don't worry, boss, I won't make any mistakes."
The middle-aged man nodded in satisfaction, then reminded the group again, "We failed this time, but it wasn't a complete loss."
"At least the Sun brothers are now one of us, and they performed well in this operation, which is a good thing."
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, everyone else in the room gave the two young men a warm smile.
The two young men became excited under this gaze.
"You all wait here for Sun Erniang to return, and after we've explained everything, you can all go back to your own homes and live your own lives."
"I'll contact you once things have calmed down, and we'll continue doing business together."
The middle-aged man took out a wad of banknotes from his pocket. "This is everyone's hard-earned money. It's not much, but it'll give us something to show for it when we get home."
After saying that, he reached out and handed it to Guiping, who was standing next to him, "One for each of you, and leave the second aunt's portion out."
Guiping nodded hurriedly and accepted the money.
"Boss."
At this moment, Tiger, who was carrying an enamel mug, walked up to the machine in the middle of the room and said curiously, "I used to work in a machine factory, but I've never seen this thing before."
"Boss, do you think it might be a new machine?"
“You know, Old Xu at the recycling station is someone who likes novelties. He has some connections to turn them into money. I think we can ask him for help. We can make some money from them, right?”
After Tiger finished speaking, the others in the room were all somewhat tempted.
But the middle-aged man stared at Tiger with a cold glint in his eyes.
"Ah Hu, you've really made something of yourself."
A cold voice came from behind him, and Tiger immediately lowered his head, "Brother!"
Seeing Tiger lower his head and not dare to disobey, the middle-aged man's gaze swept over everyone again, his expression solemn, "Zhuge was cautious throughout his life!"
"We're not even as good as Zhuge Liang, so it's best to be cautious."
The others nodded in agreement.
"Wait here for a moment, I still have to go to the factory to report for duty."
"By the way, have a good talk with Second Aunt, she has quite a temper."
Tiger nodded in agreement and then saw the middle-aged man off.
After closing the door, Tiger checked the window to make sure the middle-aged man had left the tenement building before returning to his original spot and sitting down.
The room fell silent.
"Haha~~"
"Twenty yuan, that's quite a sum."
"Tiger, this boss has become much more assertive since he started working at the factory, and he's spending money like water."
The burly middle-aged man in the corner, who had been silent all along, had his feet propped up on the table and was making sarcastic remarks.
"Ah Long, talk less."
Tiger scolded, but his gaze was fixed on the others.
At this moment, Wang Guiping took out a pack of cigarettes and distributed them to the group, then took out matches and lit them one by one.
"Brothers, as you know, I'm barely scraping by in this rural area. I've finally managed to come out and beg for alms, but if I go back with just two pieces of paper, how am I supposed to explain it to my family?"
Wang Guiping wore a bitter expression, his face contorted with sorrow.
The Sun brothers, who were standing nearby, nodded repeatedly. "Uncle Tiger, my dad told us before he left that we should just listen to you if anything happens."
"Yes, Uncle Tiger, we'll do whatever you say."
After the two finished speaking, Tiger looked somewhat hesitant.
A moment later, after finishing his cigarette, Tiger sighed and said, "I know a friend who is very interested in machines."
"Especially the products made in our country."
“The pressure cooker that Ah Long brought back last time was sold to him for two hundred yuan.”
"this time."
At this point, Tiger looked at the machine in the room and sensed that it was no ordinary machine.
It's at least much more complex than the machine tools in their factory.
"Brother Tiger, I'll work for you."
Wang Guiping was the first to speak, expressing his agreement.
"Yes, Uncle Tiger, we're both willing to follow you too."
Everyone in the room expressed their opinions, and Tiger Brother's resolve wavered.
Seeing this, Ah Long said again, "Brother Tiger, the boss is not the same boss he used to be."
"He's getting old, and he has a lot of concerns."
"Besides, what kind of life is this now? You need ration coupons to eat a piece of meat, and you have to wait half a year to get clothes made for your kids. I've had enough of this kind of life."
“My child is getting married during the Chinese New Year. We need to afford a house for the wedding. How can we buy wood and bricks if we don’t have money?”
"If this marriage doesn't happen, wouldn't that cut off the Wang family line?"
"Brother Tiger, please have mercy and show me the way."
Several people gathered around and started talking. Tiger looked down at his shoes, then gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, we'll do this behind the boss's back."
"However, we need to make sure we talk to Second Aunt first. If she doesn't agree, we'll be in trouble."
Seeing that Tiger agreed, everyone immediately burst into laughter.
Ah Long patted his chest and said, "Don't worry about Second Aunt, she'll definitely agree. Otherwise, how did she get all that fat?"
After Ah Long finished speaking, Wang Guiping immediately nodded, "Absolutely, absolutely. Second Aunt's body is not only fat but also white, and it's so heavy."
Upon hearing Wang Guiping's words, Tiger immediately grinned mischievously, "Old Wang, watch your back! You've shifted a bit too far this time. If you can't handle it, tell us early and let your son take over."
Wang Guiping gave a simple, honest smile. "No, no, my son is too honest. He's the production team leader in the village. If he knew about this, he'd probably report you right away."
Tiger scoffed, "He's never suffered or endured hardship."
Everyone else laughed too.
After a moment, Tiger stood up and said, "We can't stay here any longer. The boss might come back."
"Ah Long, let's go to your place."
"I'll go ask Old Xu about it."
"Oh, and remember to leave a mark for Second Aunt."
Tiger gave the order, and everyone readily agreed.
Meanwhile, the head of the security department, who had just returned to the factory, greeted his colleagues, went to his office, looked around to make sure no one was watching, and then picked up the phone to make a call.
The call was transferred for a while before it finally connected.
Before the other side could speak, the boss spoke first, "The goods have been received, but they are industrial coupons, not food coupons. Be careful next time."
After that, hang up the phone directly.
Throughout the entire process, no sound came from the other side.
But the leader knew that the person on the other end definitely understood what he meant.
