Chapter 266: Three Days Later

Three days later, Niu Ju called.

Niu Ju said on the phone: "Jianqiang, it's a pity, I couldn't find out where Li Ming's brother is. They've sealed it off tightly."

My people can't get in at all.

It seems they are also guarding against me.

There's one more thing I must inform you of right away,

that is, the identities of Xiao Wu, Shi Yong, and Xiao Long are under investigation,

Kong Shi has ordered us to hand over all surveillance of these three people's recent activities,

I can't do anything about it; I can only hand it over.

Are you now in Shanghu? If you are in Shanghu, hurry and leave Shanghu.

Kong Shi has already contacted the supervisory department of Shanghu, and will conduct a major safety inspection of the Shanghu area."

Hearing Niu Ju's call, I felt chilly inside.

Not only did I fail to get any information on Li Ming, but Shi Yong, Xiao Wu, and Xiao Long have all been exposed. That is, their current identities are under surveillance,

Fortunately, Shangguan Zhuren has not been exposed.

However, as Kong Shi's investigation deepens, it's believed that Shangguan Zhuren will also be exposed soon.

Kong Shi has already taken note of this place, Shanghu; although Shanghu is not within his jurisdiction, he can conduct an inspection through coordination with Zhou Renfeng.

Shanghu can't hold out either.

Truly, there is a momentum of dark clouds pressing upon the city.

I said on the phone to Niu Ju: "Niu Ju, thank you. Thank you for providing such important information. We will leave Shanghu right now."

"Jianqiang, don't be polite, there's one more thing I want to remind you of: regarding Li Ming's information, I believe Li Secretary beside Kong Shi knows.

There are some things I cannot say more about; recently I also have many troubles on my side.

Because these people have been searching for Zhou Fuhai to the point of near madness.

Liu Shiru has already asked me three times.

Fortunately, they cannot find Zhou Fuhai's hiding place.

"Jianqiang, take good care of yourself; we won't be in contact for a while." Niu Ju said seriously.

I hurriedly said: "Okay, Niu Ju, I understand. Then we'll contact again when things calm down."

I hung up the phone,

I hurriedly found Shangguan Zhuren,

"Shangguan Zhuren, it's not good—Xiao Wu, Shi Yong, Xiao Long, and others have all been exposed. Moreover, Kong Shi will soon come to inspect Shanghu."

I must leave quickly.

Shangguan Zhuren upon hearing this,

"Going to Qi He Kuang now is more dangerous, because there are many cameras on the road; our car will be tailed as soon as we go out, so we can't go to Qi He Kuang. If we really can't, we'll go back to Zaocheng's old city district."

I said: "I asked Xiao Wu; he has a big boat. Let's go to the big boat."

"Can we live on the big boat with this many people?" Shangguan Zhuren asked.

I said: "Let's see where we go first, then I'll contact Xiao Wu."

I took out my phone,

dialed Xiao Wu's phone number,

I directly asked on the phone: "Xiao Wu, where are you now?"

Xiao Wu said: "I'm drifting on the big boat in Shanghu."

"You didn't mention there's another big boat? We must go there right now. Because Shi Yong and I have been exposed, Kong Shi's side is sending people to come to Shanghu to investigate us."

Xiao Wu confidently said: "Then hurry over; my other boat is also empty, and this boat can hold a dozen or so people."

"Drive your car to Lin Bridge Port; my boat will pick you up there,"

"Then we'll sail the boat away from Shanghu toward the Huaihai direction; they would never think of that."

"The entire Shanghu water area falls under the jurisdiction of three provinces and four cities; if we just sail to any spot, they could search for half a year and not find us."

"Don't be afraid."

"All right, let's hurry and prepare to go to Lin Bridge Port."

After I hung up the phone,

I said to Shangguan Zhuren: "Let's go, we'll hurry out of the guesthouse to Lin Bridge Port; Xiao Wu's big boat is waiting for us."

"His boat can accommodate more than ten people."

Shangguan Zhuren said: "Okay, I'll let Xiao Fang know to bring Shen Honghong, and we'll set off quickly."

After I left Shangguan Zhuren's room,

I immediately called Shi Yong and Xiao Long over,

I explained to them that the situation is urgent and we must immediately transfer to Xiao Wu's big boat.

Before leaving, I sealed Zhou Fuhai's computer, phone, and other belongings, secretly storing them in the guesthouse.

We have three vehicles in total,

We took advantage of the night to leave the Day New Guesthouse in Shanghu,

Fortunately, Shanghu is just a town,

many places here simply have no surveillance installed.

We can therefore leave the guesthouse with peace of mind and rush to Lin Bridge Port.

Lin Bridge Port is a simple dock built beside Shanghu for convenient cargo transport.

Here, a lot of coal is transported south via the Shanghu canal,

We parked the car in a hidden spot at the port.

The port owner is very familiar with Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu has already exchanged greetings with the owner.

The owner pats his chest and guarantees that no one will dare to inspect our car.

Our group quickly arrived at the port's waterfront.

At that moment a cold wind blew in from the lake, and we all instinctively tightened our coats, with Shen Honghong wearing the least.

Shi Yong hurriedly took off his cotton jacket and gave it to Shen Honghong to wear.

It moved Shen Honghong to the point of being overwhelmed.

Shi Yong then proudly said, "I'm chubby, I'm not afraid of the cold."

Soon after, Xiao Wu had the big ship come over.

Our group all boarded the ship.

Xiao Wu and the ship boss were waiting for us on the boat. When they saw our group enter the cabin,

Xiao Wu pointed at the cabin and said, "Jianqiang, look, this ship is all wooden interior,

It has four rooms,

arranged on two levels,

definitely enough for you to stay.

Outside there are dedicated solar panels,

as well as a diesel generator, and each room has air conditioning.

Living here for two months will be very easy for you,

you won't have to worry about buying groceries or cooking; the ship boss will handle that."

I looked at the cabin; the renovation is actually quite good, divided into two levels.

Each room has been renovated, and the air conditioning in the rooms is on, making it very warm.

I briefly assigned the rooms,

There are four rooms in total; the ship boss and his wife share one,

Xiao Long and I share a room, Shi Yong and Shangguan Zhuren share another,

Xiao Fang and Shen Honghong live together.

After the room assignments, we all returned to our own rooms to put our belongings down.

Xiao Wu then said to us, "To welcome the big guys, I've specially prepared a whole‑fish feast from Shanghu.

In a moment I'll take everyone to taste it."

I said, "In this darkness, where would we go to taste it, and we'd have to go ashore; we can just have a simple meal on the boat."

Xiao Wu laughed, "Go to my boat; that boat not only has me, but also the Northeast Gang and Kong Xiangju."

The big guys can gather there and have a drink together."

"Where is your boat docked? Kong Xiangju, I've been wanting to meet that kid," I asked.

"Ship boss, head toward Da Ba Cha, we'll have a good drink tonight," Xiao Wu said happily to the ship boss.

"Alright, Brother Wu, everyone sit tight, I'm setting off," the ship boss said.

The ship soon set off,

since it was night,

the whole of Shanghu was shrouded in darkness,

I only saw the cold wind constantly whipping outside the cabin.

Shanghu is currently in winter, with no major waves,

so the ship isn't very rocking.

Fortunately, no one got seasick.
