The stars in the dark night sky were slightly bright, half of the moon was covered by clouds, and the halo was blurred.
The salty sea breeze blew against my face, and the waves slapped against the planks of the boats parked in the port.
It was already twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and the port was still as busy as daytime, with forklifts coming and going, loading containers full of goods onto the ship.
A petite figure, dressed in black and wearing a peaked cap, avoided the crowd and shuttled through the shadows of every corner that no one cared about.
"This is it."
Ye Mingqian carefully compared the information about the cargo ship that Wu Jing told him. After confirming that it was correct, he quietly climbed into the cargo compartment while no one was around during the shift change.
"The cargo is in the innermost part of the cabin. To ensure that it doesn't get wet, I even asked someone to wrap it with a waterproof film. Only your cargo has this treatment."
While recalling what Wu Jing said about the goods that were covered with waterproof films, she secretly scolded him for being a grown man and a coward.
According to her plan, she originally wanted Wu Jing to come with her to check it out, but he refused, saying that he was afraid that the area manager would find out and lose his job, so he only told her the location of the stop and information about packaging and placement.
The ship would only leave tomorrow, so not all the goods were loaded into the cabin. The messy arrangement forced Ye Mingqian to crawl in with both hands and feet.
The stuffy and hot space soon made her sweat. Her hands touched a layer of smooth oil paper cloth. The thickness was different from the plastic film in front. Ye Mingqian turned on the flashlight of her mobile phone and used the light to get closer and cut it open with a knife. Packed in layers, I saw the neatly folded fur materials inside.
"found it."
Ye Mingqian was overjoyed, wiped the sweat from his face, first took a photo of the freight bill number, and then put his finger through the opened hole to pull out two pieces of material as evidence.
Because the packaging was deep and stacked in layers, her fingers couldn't pull out a piece of fabric for a long time, so she had no choice but to open the hole wider.
"What's this?"
As Ye Mingqian also stretched her wrist in, a cold touch came from her fingertips. She tapped it and heard a faint crisp sound, but it was not clear because she was wrapped in cloth.
Did Dong Chenghui hide something in this batch of goods?
Two words flashed in her mind - smuggling.
"Pork trotter rice is not authentic. Come to my house to eat during the Chinese New Year."
"Stop chatting, pack it up quickly and get on the ship to set sail tomorrow."
There was a noise outside the cabin. It was the people returning from the meal shift.
Can't be found!
Ye Mingqian gritted her teeth and used a knife to cut off a piece of material and hid it in her clothes. Before the workers got on the boat, she used the cargo as a cover and slipped off the boat in the dark.
She did all this without anyone noticing.
Ye Mingqian's heart was still pounding when she returned to the car. Now that she thought about it, the thing sandwiched between the cloth looked so cold that it seemed to be porcelain.
What kind of porcelain needs to be smuggled in secret? It's an antique!
Huo Jili is smuggling antiques!
Unfortunately, it was too dark inside the cabin just now, and the porcelain was wrapped in cloth at the innermost part, so it was impossible to take a picture with the phone.
"hateful."
Ye Mingqian was so angry that he hammered the steering wheel.
She wanted to tell Chi Yanchen that he had a wide network of connections in H City, and he had to come forward to find out about this kind of thing, otherwise Aishang would be pushed out to take the blame if something went wrong.
"Hello?"
The call was answered within two seconds of being dialed out. The electronic music and DJ's sound on the other end was deafening, and her voice could not be conveyed at all.
Ye Mingqian frowned and was about to hang up the phone, when he heard Chi Yanchen's voice being amplified several times, and the lingering sound could be heard through the phone.
"It's so noisy."
With just three words from him, all the voices instantly became mute.
"Are you still there?" Chi Yanchen dropped the phone and leaned lazily on the sofa.
Ye Mingqian was shocked by his actions while holding the phone. It took her a long time to find her voice, "I'm here. Is it convenient for you to answer the phone now?"
"It's rare, it's been a long time since you took the initiative to call me." Chi Yanchen's voice was smiling, but his eyes were staring coldly at the other people in the box. Those who were glanced by his eyes felt a chill in their hearts, and the surroundings The hot beauties exited the private room wisely.
"Where are you? I'll come find you."
"Sea Mingyue Club."
"good."
Ye Mingqian turned the steering wheel and drove toward the place Chi Yanchen said with ease.
Within ten minutes, she made an emergency stop at the door, got out of the car and put her peaked cap on her head.
The Shanghai Mingyue Club has the same membership model as Maple Leaf Village. Although Ye Mingqian was wearing ordinary black casual clothes without a brand name, she walked with full aura, and the front desk forgot to let anyone stop her for a moment.
"Sorry, the private room is inconvenient to disturb."
When she reached the private room where Chi Yanchen was, the waiter at the door dutifully stopped her.
"Go and tell Chi Yanchen that the person he hates the most is here."
Ye Mingqian's words made people passing by look askance.
Soon, she was respectfully invited in.
"It's not easy to meet Master Chi." Ye Mingqian stood at the door. In the large and luxurious box, only Chi Yanchen sat high in the middle, rolling back and forth boredly with his feet on the wine bottle.
"Come."
He hooked his hands, and the ends of his eyes were stained pink due to drunkenness. He glanced at them lightly, and Ye Mingqian felt a gust of wind blowing by, and her feet couldn't help but step forward.
The man stretched out his hand, and the moment the two touched, Ye Mingqian's sanity returned in time. She hid her hand, but because she moved too much, the back of her hand hit a wine bottle on the table.
"boom."
The sound of the wine bottle breaking made the waiters outside the door look at each other.
There is one more comment about the discord between the Huo Group’s prince Chi Yanchen and the young mother Ye Mingqian.
In the private room, Ye Mingqian refused to take another step forward. He sat down on the single sofa not far from the man and said seriously: "I have something to do with you."
"I don't want to hear it." Chi Yanchen's expression was obviously careless, but the elegance of his movements was pleasing to the eye.
It's a pity that Ye Mingqian didn't come here to enjoy men's sex. She took out her mobile phone and sent the photos she just took on the cargo ship to Chi Yanchen.
"Dong Chenghui disposed of Aishang's defective fabrics without telling me. There were porcelain inside. I suspect that Huo Jili was using Aishang to smuggle antiques."
All the colored lights in the room were turned off, and only a few ambient downlights were on. Chi Yanchen turned on his mobile phone, and the weak light from the screen shone on his face, and his slightly drunk consciousness slowly woke up.
"Central Africa is just a transit point."
He threw the phone aside, "I checked the route, but how much would it cost to transport these fabrics to Central Africa? The recipient is still the Gu family's data recycling station in Central Africa. This can only explain two questions. Either the Gu family was also involved in Huo Jili's smuggling, but that's impossible, they won't openly put the Gu family on the table, so it could be the second one."
Ye Mingqian leaned forward nervously.
"What is it?"
