344: Chapter 338 Preparation 344: Chapter 338 Preparation Near a roadside old tube building, on the rooftop.
Chen Hai and Bai Baoshan quietly stood there.
A group of people led by the tattooed hulk known as Brother Biao, were taking a beggar to a van, while Chen Hai and another had come straight here.
The beggar was hauled into the van and the scenes of the flower-selling girl and pickpocket boy getting inside the vehicle—every single detail was taken in by the two men without missing a thing.
Throughout the event, Chen Hai did not speak a word, nor did he make any superfluous movements.
However, from his extremely grim expression, it was clear to see what his mood was!
“Boss, those people have boarded the van and left.
What do we do?
Should we call the police?”
Watching the van slowly leave and finally disappear, Bai Baoshan withdrew his gaze and tentatively spoke to Chen Hai.
Having spent over a decade knowing the ins and outs of Jianghu, he was familiar with all manners of underhanded tactics.
According to his experience, whether it was those flower-selling girls or pickpocket boys, they must have been either kidnapped by those people or bought from other human traffickers.
After falling into their hands, those little girls and boys were turned into money-making tools by various means.
As for that beggar, who looked extremely miserable with cut legs and a severed tongue, it was likely the work of these people too.
After all, the more pitiable the look, the more money the beggar could earn on the streets.
At the same time, without legs, the beggar couldn’t run away; without a tongue, he couldn’t speak.
It’s possible that they used the beggar as a living example to scare the other children into obediently making money for them.
Such people, who have lost all their conscience, lacked all morals.
Even when he was in prison, if a prisoner was known to have been involved in this trade, he would be targeted by many other prisoners and not end well.
Though these thoughts in Bai Baoshan’s mind were still just his speculations,
he had at least an 80% certainty that this was the case.
“Call the police?
There’s no need.”
“Where can they go after driving away?”
“Tonight, not one of them will escape; they all have to die,” Chen Hai said in a chilling tone.
After saying this, he expressionlessly waved to Bai Baoshan, calling him over, and the two slowly walked towards the staircase.
Around six or seven in the evening, the partying Bai Xiaohang and a few others returned to the suite where Chen Hai was.
“Boss, you look…” noticing something was off with Chen Hai’s demeanor, Tian Mingjian was the first to tentatively speak.
“Xiaohang, you’re familiar with this place.”
“I have a task for you.
Get me a vehicle as fast as possible.
Any problems?”
Without responding to Tian Mingjian, Chen Hai scanned the people present and set his gaze on Bai Xiaohang, speaking.
“Boss, getting a luxury car might be difficult.”
“But if it’s just about getting a van, it’s a small matter, no problem at all.”
“One of my buddies mixes in Shen City; he has a group with several vans.”
“Getting a van from him is a matter of minutes.
Leave it to me!”
After a slight stunned pause, Bai Xiaohang, having caught on, quickly patted his chest and promised.
Hearing this, Chen Hai nodded in satisfaction.
If Bai Xiaohang couldn’t handle this, he would have had to ask Bai Baoshan to step in and use some illegitimate means to temporarily ‘borrow’ a vehicle.
In this regard, Bai Baoshan was already a veteran.
Having further honed his skills over so many years in a place filled with talents, sorting out a car door lock issue should pose little difficulty for him.
“The vehicle once borrowed, we have serious business to handle tonight!”
“Before heading to Xiangjiang, consider this task a warm-up!”
“Tonight, each of you must draw blood, of course, we do not kill the innocent, only those who deserve to die.”
“Among you, if anyone can’t overcome their moral hurdle, pretend I never said this.
I will book a ticket right now and let them return to Capital City first!”
With the transport matter settled, Chen Hai looked again at everyone and spoke.
“Just drawing blood, a small matter, I definitely have no problem!” Bai Xiaohang, laughing dryly, was the first to express his stance.
This guy, a ruthless man, had an inexplicable confidence in his boss Chen Hai.
There was nothing Chen Hai assigned that he would not dare to undertake!
Compared to Bai Xiaohang, Tian Mingjian was slightly more reserved, merely nodding slightly.
Coming from a military background, he definitely had his moral limits!
If Chen Hai asked him to harm the vulnerable, he might hesitate, but now, since they were targeting those who deserved death, he had no qualms!
“Why are you looking at me?
I got inside because of petty theft, that’s true.”
“But, to be honest, while inside, I’ve already killed two guys who crossed me and have seen blood before.”
With an innocent expression, Bai Baoshan shrugged and spoke with a chuckle.
Compared to others, clearly knowing the nature of their target, he naturally had no psychological burden.
“Although I, Xiang Dong, am not skilled in fighting and killing, I still have some boldness.”
“Whatever the boss says, I will do.
I certainly have no problem here.”
Immediately after, Xiang Dong also expressed his stance.
This was a chance to strike it rich that he had earnestly asked his boss to include him in.
Having already come to Shen City, how could he possibly turn back and return to Capital City now?
Even if he had to act against the innocent, at this juncture, Xiang Dong would definitely not refuse.
“No objections, that’s good!”
“It’s six forty-seven now, by nine o’clock, Xiaohang, can you sort out the car?” nodding, Chen Hai looked towards Bai Xiaohang and inquired.
“No problem, in no more than an hour or two, I guarantee the car I borrow will be parked at the entrance of Huadu Hotel!”
Grinning, Bai Xiaohang responded.
“Alright, Xiaohang, go handle the car.”
“If others have nothing to do, you can rest a bit.
At nine o’clock tonight, we’ll depart on time.”
Raising his wrist, he checked the time displayed on his watch, and Chen Hai instructed.
He had left a yin qi mark on that gang’s leader, the large tattooed man.
He could sense their location, now dozens of miles away, no longer in the Bao’an District.
However, the location of the mark seemed to keep changing and had not yet settled.
Perhaps, at this time, that gang was still busy with their affairs and hadn’t returned to their den.
Following Chen Hai’s instructions, Bai Xiaohang got up and left first.
The others, after chatting casually for a while, also went back to their respective rooms.
As for Chen Hai himself, he sat on the sofa and began to meditate.
