Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 692, Section 282: The Prepared
{Thank you so much to the boy who loves reading historical novels for your support! Thank you so much, Ah Xian sends you a heart gesture with his feet!}
Bald Eagle sat in the passenger seat, a cigarette dangling from his lips, and rolled down the truck window to let the warm sea breeze from the Pacific Ocean help him digest the alcohol in his body.

I've drunk way too much; I can't hold on much longer.

The drinks at Dragon Palace Nightclub are expensive, but they're all genuine. After drinking them, my head doesn't hurt, and I don't feel as unwell as before.

Battery was fast asleep on the long bench at the back. He had drunk two bottles of whiskey and more than a dozen glasses of champagne. Even an iron man would have melted by now.

"Boss, nobody's following!"

"It's pitch black now, and we're the only car on the whole road. There's not a soul in sight."

Da Ye didn't drink much, after all, he had to drive. Drinking too much could easily lead to trouble. On this winding mountain road with poor conditions, if you're not careful, the whole car could fly into the ravine and never be found, making you a wronged ghost for life!

"Damn it! You speak so rudely! Please forgive me! Please forgive me!"

"Gods and lords, please bless us so that this time, our goods will be sold like hotcakes and we will make a huge profit!"

"Thank you! Thank you!"

Late at night, in Yuen Long, he couldn't even keep his mouth shut; he was asking for trouble.

The bald eagle clasped its hands together, bowed repeatedly in front of it, and made a wish.

If ghosts and gods were truly effective, I would have won the lottery and become rich long ago.

I've been worshipping gods, spirits, Wong Tai Sin, and all sorts of bodhisattvas since I can remember, for at least twenty years, but it's had no effect whatsoever. I've never had more than 40,000 yuan in my pocket.

Back then, they took the blame for the wrongdoing, and the company only gave them 30,000 yuan.

Earning 30,000 yuan and spending four years in jail—no matter how you look at it, this business was a loss!
Despite having the title of a "red pole" (a term referring to corrupt officials in China), he couldn't even afford to take a woman out to the Peninsula Hotel for a French meal.

This is absolutely terrible!

Da Ye put a cigarette in his mouth, lit it, and continued to turn the steering wheel, driving carefully.

Because we took a very long detour, it was already past 2 a.m. when we finally arrived in Pingshan.

Daye knew the way and often came here to eat roasted sparrows, but instead of driving directly to Tianle Lake Swimming Pool, he took a long detour and, seeing that there was no one on the road, drove to the back entrance of Tianle Lake Swimming Pool.

Tianle Lake Swimming Pool is an open-air swimming pool. There is only one small indoor pool with two lanes, which is never filled with water. Pingshan cannot collect land rent, so of course there is no money for maintenance. In addition, there is not only the sea but also a small river near Pingshan. If you want to swim, you can go directly to the sea for a swim.

So the Tianle Lake Swimming Pool has long been abandoned, and there isn't even a gatekeeper or night watchman anymore.

In the dead of night, with not a soul in sight, Daye first slapped the sleeping battery before opening the car door and jumping out.

The battery groggily woke up and was startled to find itself in an unfamiliar place.

"Damn it! Wake up and get to work!"

Seeing that no one was around, Bald Eagle jumped out of the car and walked to the back door of Tianle Lake Swimming Pool.

"Can we handle this major undertaking?"

Bald Eagle kicked the back door of Tianle Lake Swimming Pool, which was locked with an iron chain, and asked Daye a question.

"Luckily, I was smart enough to have prepared pliers beforehand."

"But boss, did Handsome Sheng give you the wrong key? This godforsaken place is covered in dust, and no one has been here for at least ten years. How come there's any merchandise here?"

Da Ye turned around, made a scissor gesture towards the dazed battery inside the car, and told his good brother to take the pliers off the dashboard.

After a minute of drowsiness, Battery finally came to his senses and, realizing the situation, grabbed the pliers from the dashboard. Clumsily but carefully, he jumped to the ground. But he'd drunk far too much; his legs were weak, and he didn't land properly, falling flat on his face on the dirt road.

"I lost it!"

When Da Ye saw Battery fall down, he quickly went over, pulled the good-for-nothing up, snatched the pliers from Battery's hand, and cut the iron chain attached to the back door.

The iron chain snapped, and without its restraint, the two large doors, covered in cobwebs and years of accumulated dust, opened automatically, just like in a Shaw Brothers horror movie.

Da Ye placed the pliers on the ground, returned to the truck, found the three flashlights he had prepared beforehand, and took out a blowtorch with a broken nozzle from the armrest box. Only then did he turn off the truck, remove the key, and lock the doors.

What Da Ye didn't know was that on the rooftop twenty meters away, three people were intently observing their every move through binoculars.

Hearing is believing, seeing is believing, but in the pitch black of the third watch of the night, the eyes have already lost their function.

"Which star did you pick! This guy didn't even bother to prepare one for his good buddy, he's heartless!"

Upon seeing the shotgun in Da Ye's hand, Battery immediately became unhappy. He didn't even have a feather in his hand, and if something unexpected happened, he wouldn't know whether to fight or run away.

I drank too much alcohol, and my legs are so weak I can't run at all.

"I paged you to tell you to get things done, and you lazy bum, you didn't even bring a folding knife, it's hilarious!"

"The pliers are made entirely of iron, which is enough for self-defense. If you can't even handle a fight with pliers, then giving you any other weapon is useless!"

Da Ye picked up the pliers that were thrown at the door, handed them to the battery, and told the scumbag to hold on for a while.

Each of the three brothers carried a flashlight and batteries, and they walked together into the Tianle Lake Swimming Pool.

Upon entering, you'll find a warehouse filled with discarded equipment. Due to its age, it has long since deteriorated and crumbles easily, rendering it completely useless. Even the elderly women who collect recyclables wouldn't want it.

They say alcohol gives cowards courage, but actually, light can also give you courage.

With three flashlights shining brightly, the three walked through the warehouse without any fear. After leaving the warehouse, they quickly located the changing room by following the directional map hanging on the wall.

The locker room was infested with rats and cockroaches, which would flee at the slightest sound of footsteps.

The bald eagle, who hadn't spoken a word the whole way, took out his key and started going through the lockers one by one according to their numbers.

[B8737]

There weren't many boxes, and the bald eagle found the storage box it was looking for in less than three minutes, following the numerical order.

The storage box wasn't large, and it had an old-fashioned brass lock hanging on it.

However, compared to other storage boxes, storage box B8737 is different because it is too clean, so clean that it feels eerie.

Having determined the numerical code, the bald eagle didn't think too much, simply unlocked the door, took it off, and opened the cabinet.

The battery, illuminating the bald eagle's vision, shone a flashlight into storage box B8737.

When the cabinet door was opened, only one box lay quietly inside the storage cabinet.

Is this the kind of goods that Handsome Sheng made him accept?

Bald Eagle was now full of questions. He really couldn't figure out how Handsome had won. But since he had come all this way, there was no reason for him to leave empty-handed. Hesitantly, he reached out, picked up the box from the storage cabinet, held his breath, and opened the box in his hand.
