Chapter 53: Finding Tian Yang Sheng

After returning to the bar, Chen Mo sat quietly in the office, deep in thought.

The armored car that Tian Yang Sheng and his six siblings robbed contained one hundred million US dollars—if he could get his hands on all of it, how much Wealth Value would that add?

If he could find a way to launder this money clean, he probably wouldn't be short of cash for the rest of his life.

But Chen Mo didn't think things were that simple.

If that money were so easy to launder, Zhang Wenyao in the movie wouldn't have hidden it in an old car trunk for half a year without touching it.

Compared to that money, Chen Mo was more interested in Tian Yang Sheng and his six siblings.

Seven orphans who survived the battlefield—every single one of them was talented.

According to how the plot developed, tonight they would be surrounded by police at the Tai O Pier, with three dead and four escaping.

Their next appearance wouldn't be until half a year later.

Most importantly, after tonight, their identities as seven siblings would be uncovered by the police, and by then, even if they came back to Gangdao, they wouldn't be able to stay.

That would completely eliminate any possibility of recruiting them.

Before tonight was Chen Mo's last chance to recruit them.

Thinking this, Chen Mo called for Fei Ji.

"Fei Ji, go prepare two cars with fake plates."

Chen Mo took out a stack of cash and tossed it to Fei Ji.

Fei Ji took the money, didn't ask Chen Mo why he arranged it that way, and immediately went to prepare.

Chen Mo opened the system and glanced at the Wealth Value he had saved up, over three thousand.

Gritting his teeth, he spent one thousand Wealth Value to buy a Basic Firearms Proficiency skill, and another two hundred Wealth Value to buy two Big Black Stars.

Feeling the various pistol knowledge being infused into his mind from nothing, and then a tingling numbness in his fingers.

Two Big Black Stars materialized out of thin air in Chen Mo's hands.

Holding both pistols in his hands, Chen Mo felt an immense familiarity, as if he could hit whatever he aimed at.

After expertly disassembling and reassembling the two Black Star pistols a few times, Chen Mo called Gao Jin and had him come over.

"Ah Jin, do you know how to use this thing?"

Chen Mo tossed one Black Star to Gao Jin.

Gao Jin caught the gun, skillfully disassembled it into a pile of parts, checked them, then reassembled it—clearly, he had used one plenty before.

"Mo Ge, this gun is brand new. Where did it come from?"

Gao Jin asked, looking surprised.

"You don't need to worry about that. Put the gun away, and come with me later."

Going to meet Tian Yang Sheng and the others without some preparation wouldn't do.

Chen Mo didn't plan to bring anyone else; he brought Gao Jin only because one car couldn't fit all seven of them.

Even though he wasn't sure he could recruit them yet, he still had to be prepared.

Otherwise, if they agreed and the car couldn't hold them all, that would be a joke.

After about an hour, Fei Ji returned.

"Mo Ge, the cars are ready."

"Good. Ah Jin and I are going out for a while. I'm not sure when we'll be back tonight. Keep an eye on the place."

Chen Mo and Gao Jin each took a car and first drove to Han Bin's territory in Kui Tsing.

Tai O Pier was on an outlying island, requiring a sea crossing—just having a car wasn't enough; they had to take a boat first.

In this era, there was no bridge connecting the outlying islands yet.

After finishing his meeting, Han Bin had returned directly to Kui Tsing Pier. Seeing Chen Mo and Gao Jin arrive, he was a bit surprised.

"Ah Mo, what brings you to my place?" Han Bin greeted Chen Mo warmly.

"Bin Ge, I'm planning to pick up a few people at Tai O Pier. I came specifically to ask for your help."

Chen Mo didn't exchange pleasantries with Han Bin and got straight to the point.

"Pfft, such a small matter. You could have just called me; no need to come all the way! What do the people you're picking up look like? I'll have someone go fetch them for you."

Chen Mo quickly refused: "No, that won't do, Bin Ge. These people are a bit special. I have to go pick them up myself."

No kidding—if Han Bin's men went, not to mention whether they could even find Tian Yang Sheng and the others.

Even if they did, given Tian Yang Sheng's personality, they might just kill them outright.

Seeing Chen Mo speak so seriously, Han Bin didn't insist: "Alright then, I'll prepare a boat for you. I was hoping you'd stay for a drink! Lately, thanks to your knockoffs, Konglong hasn't been coming to me for money as much."

"We can drink anytime. Next time, Bin Ge, come to my bar—my treat."

Chatting as they walked, they soon reached the pier. Han Bin arranged a modified small fishing boat for Chen Mo, complete with a helmsman.

By the time Chen Mo and Gao Jin arrived at Tai O Pier, the sky was starting to darken.

Chen Mo told Han Bin's man to wait on the boat and went ashore with Gao Jin.

Chen Mo only knew that Tian Yang Sheng and his siblings were surrounded by police at Tai O Pier, but he didn't know if they had arrived yet, nor where they were hiding.

With no other choice, Chen Mo walked along the pier, relying on his exceptional eyesight to search everywhere.

As the sky gradually darkened, fewer and fewer people remained on the pier.

No matter how well Tian Yang Sheng and the others hid, someone had to keep watch.

Soon, Chen Mo spotted a figure standing guard near an abandoned shack.

"Ah Jin, follow me."

Chen Mo called to Gao Jin and walked toward the young man keeping watch.

"Stop right there!"

Seeing Chen Mo and Gao Jin approach, the young man immediately shouted to halt them.

Chen Mo didn't stop his steps, continuing to walk toward him.

Seeing Chen Mo showed no sign of stopping, the young man threw a punch straight at his face.

Chen Mo raised his hand and grabbed the young man's hand, twisted it casually, forcing the young man's arm behind his back, and with his other hand directly choked his neck.

Behave! Don't move around!

Big Brother—

The young man observes no martial ethics.

Chen Mo only wanted to subdue him to talk, so he showed mercy and didn't cover his mouth.

But he shouted out directly.

Immediately after, a chaotic and rapid footsteps came from the shed.

Several people quickly ran out of the dilapidated shed, simultaneously pointing their guns at Chen Mo and Gao Jin.

Gao Jin quickly drew his pistol from his waist, pointing at the opposite leader.

Chen Mo also drew his pistol, pressing it against the back of the young man's head he was holding.

Who are you, release Lao Wu! Tian Yang Sheng narrowed his eyes, staring fixedly at Chen Mo.

Don't worry, I mean you no harm; I just have something I want to discuss with you.

Chen Mo released his hold on Tian Yang Li's hand, but still kept his gun pointed at him.

Chen Mo dared not put down his gun.

He feared Tian Yang Sheng would shoot him and Gao Jin dead with a single shot.

What do you want to talk about?

Chen Mo's actions made Tian Yang Sheng lower his guard somewhat, but he still hadn't lowered his gun.

We can't just talk out here, right? How about we go inside first? Don't worry, we're not police.

Tian Yang Sheng gave Tian Yang Yi a look, and Tian Yang Yi immediately moved to the side to look around.

The matter I want to discuss with you is quite urgent; if you delay any longer, we might run out of time.
