Chapter 2608: It's Over
Liu Zhiguang and Lasov hugged, and Lasov said with a smile: "Liu, long time no see."
"I'm really sorry!" Liu Zhiguang said with a face full of apology: "Because of this heavy rain, the goods might be delayed by about an hour."
"It's fine!" Lasov waved his hand: "Actually, I arrived two hours ago and knew that with such heavy rain, the time would definitely be delayed, so I wasn't in a hurry."
Liu Zhiguang said in surprise: "Lasov, it's been a few months; how come your Chinese is so good?"
Lasov smiled very proudly: "During the time you were recovering from your injury, I learned Chinese with you. After you left, I found a teacher and studied every day, practicing Chinese pronunciation, but very attentively."
Liu Zhiguang nodded: "Although your pronunciation is still not very accurate, your word usage is fine. It seems you have a talent for languages."
Getting the approval of Liu Zhiguang, a Chinese person, Lasov felt unprecedented satisfaction: "My old Li says so too."
Liu Zhiguang raised his wrist and looked at the time: "Lasov, if the goods haven't arrived in an hour, we'll cancel the transaction."
"NONONO!" Lasov raised his finger and shook it: "Liu, you can rest assured completely. This route is very safe. Especially since it just rained
heavily, if the border patrol team drives, it will take them more than an hour to reach here. If they walk, they'll have to walk until dawn. So, trading today is the safest."
Ever since he was almost caught last time, Liu Zhiguang had been very cautious about this transaction. Even if he canceled the transaction, he didn't want to take risks. But Lasov's words weren't without reason, so he didn't oppose it again.
Time passed bit by bit. When Liu Zhiguang looked at his wristwatch again, the hour hand pointed to 2:35 AM. By this time, not only Liu Zhiguang but even Lasov had a trace of irritability on his face.
Liu Zhiguang took a deep breath and said: "Lasov, if the car hasn't arrived by 3:30, something must have gone wrong, and we must cancel the transaction."
"OK!" Lasov no longer insisted, because even if he received the goods after 3:30, it would be dawn by the time he reached customs. Even if he had bribed and taken care of everything, in broad daylight, the other party wouldn't take the risk to let him pass.
As time passed, Liu Zhiguang's face became uglier and uglier. Although this carload of goods wasn't his entire family fortune, if something went wrong, he would also vomit blood.
Seeing that the time had reached 3:20, Old Qing suddenly pointed into the distance and said: "Brother Guang, look, is that the car?"
Everyone looked up and saw a few lights moving slowly in the distance.
A smile appeared on Liu Zhiguang's face: "It should be our goods. After all, at this time, no car would come this way."
After five or six minutes, the lights got closer and closer, and brighter and brighter.
Lasov breathed a long sigh of relief, patted Liu Zhiguang's shoulder, and said in a relaxed tone: "Fortunately, the goods arrived at the last moment. If we had to wait for the next transaction, it might
be a month later."
"Let's go!" Liu Zhiguang greeted: "Let's go over."
A group of people waded through the wet, knee-deep weeds and walked quickly to the border isolation net. When they arrived, the two trucks also arrived beside them with a 'keng-chi keng-chi' sound, and then stopped.
The two drivers and two young men escorting the car jumped down. Wu Fang, the driver of the first car, moved his somewhat sore shoulders and complained.
"Damn it, this rain was too heavy; the road was too hard to walk. It was only us brothers; if it were anyone else, they couldn't have delivered the goods today."
Liu Zhiguang said with a smile: "Old Fang, I won't treat you unfairly; rest assured."
Just then, three more people came over from the opposite side, each carrying a black bag in their hands. They came to Liu Zhiguang and placed the bags on the ground.
Lasov pointed to the bags on the ground: "Count them!"
Liu Zhiguang waved his hand generously: "Lasov, we are brothers; I trust you."
Lasov laughed, opened his arms, and hugged Liu Zhiguang: "Winter is coming, and warm clothing is in short supply. This batch of goods is a bit small. I hope to get 100,000 wool coats or more by October."
"No problem!" Liu Zhiguang said confidently: "At least 100,000 pieces."
"OK!" Lasov patted Liu Zhiguang's shoulder with satisfaction: "Liu, see you next time. When the time comes, come to Russia with me, and I'll introduce you to a few good friends."
"Good!" Liu Zhiguang nodded and agreed: "Don't delay any longer; hurry up and go."
Just as Lasov turned around and was about to pull open the truck door, dozens of flashlight beams suddenly lit up in the surrounding grass. Immediately after, black figures sprang up from the grass.
"Don't move! We are the Chinese People's Armed Police Force. Everyone, hold your heads and squat down." Fluent Russian exploded in Liu Zhiguang and Lasov's ears. Everyone was stunned; they never dreamed that there would be an ambush here.
At this time, they didn't have time to think about whether a traitor had appeared among them and they had been betrayed. There was only one thought in their minds: run. But now, the Armed Police were all around them on the left, right, and back, so they could only run to the opposite side.
The first to react wasn't Liu Zhiguang, nor was it Lasov, but Wu Fang. Don't look at this guy being over forty; his reaction speed was very fast, and his movements were agile.
At the same time as the Russian shout, he had already stepped toward a gap in the barbed wire fence that had been cut not far away. Immediately after, he heard a crisp gunshot.
"Bang!" A flower of blood splashed on Wu Fang's calf, and then he stumbled and fell heavily to the ground.
A black figure lunged over and pressed Wu Fang, who was just about to crawl up, firmly to the ground. And that gap that had been cut was already guarded by more than ten Armed Police who had rushed over quickly.
"It's over!" This was the only thought in Liu Zhiguang's mind. It wasn't that he didn't want to run, but they were twenty meters away from the death line. He estimated that before they could run over, they would have been shot dead.
Seeing that he couldn't run, Lasov very simply held his head and squatted down. Anyway, he was Russian; even if caught, he definitely wouldn't die, so it didn't matter.
Liu Zhiguang's face was pale as he slowly raised his hands. If he ran, he would definitely get shot. If he didn't run, even if caught, maybe there would still be a glimmer of life.
Seeing that Liu Zhiguang and Lasov had both obediently accepted their fate, the others naturally didn't have the guts to run, and all honestly scratched their heads and squatted down. ===== CHAPTER 2609 =====
