Chapter 147 - Probing
The two of them hesitated for a moment, looking at each other with a strange look. They felt that they had been discovered, and in their eyes, there was a hint of disbelief.
The baldy grinned. This was something that no one would believe. He had been observing the two of them for a long time, and was very reliable and capable. He did not have any bad habits.
Every time he saw them diligently doing the work in their hands, he would not abandon what he was doing or lose his focus because of the arrival or interruption of someone else. No matter how others talked to him, he would not let go of what he was doing.
Baldy appreciated this. Plus, after watching them for so many days, it didn't look like he was a cop or a spy. He had seen how they sewed fishing nets before, and they were very skilled and experienced. Only old boatmen who had been doing this for many years were this skilled, so no matter how he looked at them, they looked like two ordinary fishermen.
The two of them were so young and strong. He liked to nurture some people, so he had a sense of accomplishment. So he decided to give them both a chance to make a fortune.
Li Xiang was the first to speak: "I know you, you are also a fisherman near here, it's just that why are you looking for us, we brothers are just ordinary fishermen." Li Xiang's face was full of wariness and caution. Those who didn't know what kind of fear Li Xiang was currently in, that's what the baldy thought.
No matter how outstanding a youth was, in the end, he was still a little too young. He had never experienced the baptism of great storms or great waves, so he did not know what was called annoyance.
"You also know that I'm a fisherman from nearby, so I won't harm you guys. What's there to be afraid of?" Baldy paused and then changed to a bewitching tone, "You guys are fishing right now, so you can't earn much money in a day. Follow me and I'll guarantee that you will earn more than you currently earn, and that will be much easier than now."
Baldy thought that Li Xiang and the other two were ignorant fools, as long as he gave them a relatively tempting condition, they would agree. After all, they were just two inexperienced young men.
He had eaten more salt than they had, and he had more experience.
Li Xiang hesitated for a moment, but did not say anything, he turned to look at his colleague and asked: "A Ming, how do you feel?"
A Ming's original name was Ming Li, and for safety and convenience, Li Xiang would call him A Ming, short for short. It was just that he did not know that the name "midnight dream" had appeared multiple times in his dreams, and it had become an unerasable memory.
He thought for a bit that he thought more than Li Xiang. In truth, he had already guessed the reason why this baldy had come to find them. These few days, this baldy had been standing beside their boat, and he thought that the two of them had been exposed.
However, only later did he realize that nothing had happened. That baldy didn't say anything and only walked around his boat frequently. He thought of something and could vaguely guess what she was thinking.
But he thought it was a good idea. Although they had investigated the background of the ship, they could not find any way to enter the ship. Since the evidence was inside the boat, they had to find a way to enter and investigate.
Since the baldy trusted Li Xiang and himself so much, the two of them should just hide in the boat and help them carry their goods. They should be able to know how their goods were shipped out. And where did their goods come from? And who was their contact?
When Ming Li thought here, he revealed an embarrassed smile, turned around and looked at the bald man, "The two of us came here to earn money, what if you guys lie to me?"
The bald man laughed and patted him on the shoulder. "If you ask around, who doesn't know that I'm bald? I'm famous for being trustworthy. How many people have become rich with me and have entered that high class place? I'm a very trustworthy person, otherwise I wouldn't be able to stay here forever. Your worries are also very good, indicating that you have been very vigilant. "How would you like to consider if you want to work with me?"
Li Xiang turned and made a gesture to A Ming, indicating that he should agree to it. At first, A Ming thought that he should agree to it, but he was afraid that the ideal beside him would not agree. He was still thinking about how to convince, but he did not expect Li Xiang to actually agree to it.
A Ming also secretly gestured to him, but the baldy did not notice that their movements were extremely well hidden, and they were their unique signal.
Seeing A Ming's gesture towards him, Li Xiang looked at his bald head, who was looking at him with a thoughtful expression, and said: "Sure, we feel that we can follow you, but you must promise me that you will definitely let us earn big money. We two brothers have no other thoughts than to earn money and get married. As long as it does not endanger our safety, we can do anything. "
Baldy seemed to have already thought of this result. She didn't think there was any reason for the two of them to refuse. They knew that if they helped him carry the goods, they would be able to fish for many days. Fishing was a small matter to them, so they did not put it to heart. And the things he told them had a lot of profits, enough to greatly improve the lives of these two brothers.
Don't tell them beforehand, as long as the two of them were pulled down the river by him and became his group, they wouldn't have to worry about them betraying him. And judging from how honest they looked, they didn't seem like they were cheating at all.
He had too many clever men under his command. What he needed now was reliable and capable men, so he didn't need to play games with them. As long as they followed him obediently, he wouldn't treat them unfairly.
Baldy thought of the past. He had gone to promote many people, but some people remembered him. Some people who had reached great heights kicked themselves away. The baldy didn't mind because those people couldn't go too far.
He didn't know why, but he had an inexplicable good impression of these two brothers. Perhaps it was due to their honesty, or some other reason.
However, the baldy never expected that Li Xiang and A Ming would bring him a calamity, and all his efforts would be in vain.
Of course, these baldy did not know. No one could predict what would happen in the future, because the plan could not keep up with the changes, because they could not imagine what would happen in the next match. because you're not sure if you're going to die in the future.
The bald man and Li Xiang had reached an agreement like this, causing A Ming to sink into deep thought. He didn't like to speak, he still liked to slowly listen, and then think about what would happen in the future.
Although the collaboration was successful, it was extremely risky. If the two of them were found out, what awaited them would be death. However, for the sake of the success of this mission, they could not be bothered with it. Even if they had to sacrifice their own lives, they had to complete this difficult and dangerous mission. This was their mission as soldiers. They would sacrifice themselves at the cost of their own lives.
The baldy applauded. He wanted to bring the two of them to meet his brothers so that they could get to know each other.
Seeing that they did not object, the bald man led them to a small boat. Li Xiang and A Ming looked at each other and laughed, and then gestured. Their tacit understanding after so many years, allowed them to understand one another. They should have sent out the message, Li Xiang winked at him, and A Ming understood immediately.
This important mission of passing on the message was handed over to Li Xiang. Li Xiang was more quick-witted and quick to react, the mission of sending messages was something that he could do easily.
A Ming nodded his head, indicating that he understood, he believed that Li Xiang would spread the news. Thus, he no longer moved and quietly followed the bald man out.
The baldy didn't care about the fear on their faces. The more scared they were, the more advantageous it was for them, the more they would do something they didn't like.
He smiled at those people, pointed at Li Xiang and A Ming and said: "This is your future partner, and also a fisherman in the vicinity. They are as reliable as you all. So don't worry about it. Everyone, relax. Don't be so nervous. In the future, everyone will coexist peacefully. Your goal is to make money. As long as we can make money, we will do anything. We are gathered together for this purpose, so let us cheer for tonight! "
Those people only looked at Li Xiang and A Ming, and started laughing loudly. Everyone's goal was to earn money, so there wouldn't be any hostility or doubt.
Li Xiang and A Ming looked at each other and laughed, then continued to laugh out loud. They thought that it was not because they could earn money, but because they had obtained an important information. The bald man had said that there would be an operation tonight, and he already knew the exact location and time. What he needed to do now was how to send this message out. Li Xiang was not worried about this problem, because he had thought of ways to send the message many times. Finally, she found a foolproof solution. She believed that he would definitely spread the news.
A Ming also trusted Li Xiang's abilities a lot. This information was simply too important to them, they already knew the exact time and location! Now they were waiting for someone to clean up the fishing boat.
The baldy signaled with his hand for them to stop talking and making noise.
Then, he turned around to look at Li Xiang and A Ming, "Say a few words to them, let's get to know each other."
Li Xiang and A Ming took a step forward. Li Xiang pointed at A Ming and said, "This is A Ming, everyone can call him A Ming. My name is Li Xiang. We still need to rely on your care in the future. "
Those people also became embarrassed as they said this one after another.
"We're all on the same side in the future. Take care of each other. You're welcome."
