Chapter 2 Returning (2)
As time pa.s.sed, night had already fallen. The huge searchlight on the dock had already begun to shine.
"Mr. Ji, it's time to board the ship." 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 ship 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 ship 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 ship."
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 relationship!"
"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.
Extinguishing 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.
"You wait in the car!" Ji Feng instructed, "Be careful."
Li Guoliang immediately understood, and the expression in his eyes changed. From Ji Feng's words, it seemed that the Zhu Clan had come with ill intentions?
Quietly, Li Guoliang's hand had already touched his chest …
"Ji Feng!"
Watching Ji Feng get off the carriage, Ji Yu lightly called out and quickly walked over.
Ji Feng, however, looked at the few people behind Ji Feng … Two of them were none other than Ji Yu, Abel and Adai, who were by his side. The rest were his bodyguards.
"Are you leaving today?" Ji Yu asked.
"How can I leave if I don't wait for you to come?" Ji Feng chuckled.
Hearing this, Ji Yu couldn't help but shiver. Ji Feng's hidden meaning was very clear. If Ji Yu didn't come, he wouldn't leave.
The reason he was waiting for her was probably not because he was reluctant, but because he wanted her to give him an explanation.
In fact, Ji Yu also understood in his heart that being betrayed was an unbearable thing for anyone. Even if it was Ji Feng, he wouldn't be able to swallow this anger so easily.
Not to mention, the person who sold out Ji Feng was one of the members of the Bamboo a.s.sociation that he trusted a lot!
Ji Yu sighed and said: "Ji Feng, about this matter … I'm really sorry, I never thought that my people would do such a thing. "
Ji Yu, did you really not think about it?
Or did she not want to suspect her?
Earlier, Ji Feng had warned her repeatedly, but she was still skeptical about his words. Moreover, this matter wasn't something that could be solved with just a single apology!
However, when Abel heard the conversation between the two, he could not help but have a bad feeling.
"Ha ha!"
Abel slowly walked forward and chuckled as he said, "Little Brother Ji, we have all heard of the things you've done in the United States. We are indeed very impressed with you. The so-called 'hero comes out as a young man' is more than suitable for you!"
Ji Feng did not even look at him, he only said: "Yu, there is something that I have forgotten to tell you."
"What?" Ji Yu asked.
"Thank you!"
"Hmm?" Ji Yu couldn't help but be startled, "Thank me? "Why?"
"In front of the Westin Hotel, I was surrounded by close to a thousand people. At that time, someone used a grenade to disperse the crowd and open a path for me!" Ji Feng replied, "The person who threw the grenade was one of you, right?"
"How do you know?" Ji Yu asked in surprise.
"It really is you!"
Ji Feng nodded. Seems like his conjecture was correct. In fact, even though the scene was extremely chaotic, Ji Feng's attention was still highly focused. Other than the screams of the people around him, there was also a familiar shout in his ears.
Afterwards, Ji Feng remembered that the voice should have belonged to Ji Yu.
Now that he asked, it was as he had expected.
"Thank you!" Ji Feng thanked Ji Yu once again. He then looked at Adai who was standing behind Ji Yu and said, "This is considered as owing you a favor. If you are willing to plead on his behalf, then forget about the past and pretend that it never happened!"
"No!"
Ji Yu immediately shook his head with a frosty face: "The reason I helped you is because I treated you as a friend. It was only right for friends to help. However, my man betrayed my friend, and this has nothing to do with kindness. Furthermore, he broke the rules of my Bamboo Gang … "
Before Ji Yu finished his sentence, Ah'bo's face changed, but before Adai could even react, Ji Yu suddenly turned around.
"Capture Ade!" Ji Yu's face was frosty as she shouted.
"Ah?!"
Adai was instantly startled. "Miss, you are confused, right? We are here to send Ji Feng off, why are you capturing me? "
"Sigh …"
However, Ah'Bao didn't have much of an intense reaction. He only let out a long sigh and said, "Eldest Miss, so you already knew."
Ji Yu said in a deep voice, "Abel, it seems you admit that Adai leaked the news?"
"He did it!"
"What?" Only now did Addie react, and his face instantly changed dramatically. He shouted loudly, "Miss, you said that I leaked the news, do you have any evidence?"
"Shut up!" "Since Miss has caught you, do you think there will be no proof?"
With that, Abel looked at Ji Yu, and said in a low voice: "First Miss, I will not deny the things that Adai has done, I only hope that Eldest Miss can consider the fact that I have served the Bamboo Gang for my entire life, and give me a light punishment, and I will be forever grateful to you!"
