Chapter 2346

At this time, the young man finally breathed a sigh of relief, and after hanging up the phone happily, he turned and walked toward Ye Chen and Lang Hongjun.

At this time, the young man did not know that the entire process of his phone call reporting to his superiors had been heard clearly by Ye Chen.

Ye Chen was on one hand amazed by the vigilance of this organization, and on the other hand could not help but sigh that in the face of absolute power, such meticulous schemes and cautious actions were meaningless.

Even though they were so cautious, from now on, no matter how smart or cautious they were, they could not escape the fate of being wiped out.

The young man, however, unaware of the impending disaster, still thought that Lang Hongjun was offering a buy-one-get-one-free deal, and he returned to the two with a cheerful smile, saying to Ye Chen with a laugh: "Your luck is really good; we usually recruit people very strictly, not only requiring materials to be submitted in advance, but also requiring a strict physical examination before there is a chance of promotion, but this time our ship is about to set sail, and we just happen to be short one person, so if you are interested, you can come with me for an interview, and if there are no problems, you can start work."

Ye Chen pretended to be excited and asked: "Then, for this seaman position, what monthly salary can we get?"

The young man laughed and said: "Five to six thousand US dollars a month, but the exact amount depends on your performance and the efficiency of completing the sea mission."

"Good." Ye Chen nodded happily and said: "Sounds good, let's get to work first!"

The young man nodded and said: "Let's hurry up; from here to Ensenada Port, it's still about a hundred kilometers."

The two readily agreed, and so, under the young man's guidance, they came to the parking lot outside the airport.

The three came up to a Chevrolet pickup truck, where the driver's seat was already occupied by a brown-skinned Mexican man, who was big and rough, with a face full of horizontal flesh, looking at first glance not to be a good guy.

The young man opened the passenger door, turned to Ye Chen and Lang Hongjun, and said: "This is our company's car; the driver is the bodyguard of our company's general manager. Mexico is not very peaceful, so we need a bodyguard to hold the fort. Don't judge him by his fierce look—he may not look like a good person, but he is actually a warm-hearted old Mexican."

The Mexican man looked at the two, squeezed out a smile on his face, then patted his bulging waist and said something in Spanish with a laugh.

The young man beside him translated: "He says welcome to Mexico; he has a Glock 17 in his pocket, which can protect our safety."

Ye Chen smiled and nodded, and Lang Hongjun beside him also felt nothing wrong, so he quickly said: "Please tell him thank you for his hard work."

The young man smiled slightly, greeted the other in Spanish, and then said to the two: "You two sit in the back."

Ye Chen and Lang Hongjun sat on the left and right in the back seat, respectively, and then the Mexican man drove off from the airport.

In the car, the young man turned his face to Ye Chen and Lang Hongjun and said: "You had better call or message your family to report safety now, because the infrastructure in this part of Mexico is not good, and once we leave the city and head toward Ensenada Port, there will basically be no signal."

Lang Hongjun felt no suspicion, hurriedly took out his phone, and called his family to report safety.

Seeing that Ye Chen did not make a call, the young man could not help but ask him: "Brother, why don't you tell your family?"

Ye Chen laughed and said: "I came to Mexico without telling anyone; people like me, the biggest taboo is contacting family—once you do, trouble easily follows, so it's better not to say anything."

Upon hearing this, the young man laughed, nodded, and said nothing more.

The reason he had Ye Chen and Lang Hongjun call their families first was because his car was equipped with a signal-jamming device; once the car left the city, he would activate the jamming device to prevent the signal base stations from recording the movement trajectories of the two men's phones.

Because all mobile communications rely on ground-based base stations, and a large number of ground base stations overlap and cross-cover, forming an almost blind-spot-free communication range in cities, the phone will automatically adapt to the strongest and best signal among multiple base stations and then establish a connection with it.

And when the phone continuously moves across regions, it will search for the best signal base station along the way, constantly switching between multiple base stations; thus, the base stations will also record the information of this device accessing them.

If one wants to use a phone to track a person's movement trajectory, one only needs to check the phone's access time and specific information with the base station, and then one can lock onto a relatively accurate route map and a relatively precise range.

In this way, the exact location of the criminal's lair will be exposed.

Therefore, this young man had just deliberately claimed that Mexico's infrastructure was poor, in order to lay the groundwork for the upcoming signal jamming.

With this advance precaution, when the two later discover their phones have no signal, they will certainly not think anything is abnormal.

After the pickup left the airport, it headed south all the way; when the car had driven about ten or so kilometers, the young man, without showing any emotion, reached under the passenger seat and felt around, then opened a hidden switch inside.

This switch is the power switch for the signal-jamming device.

After pressing it, all signals within a five-meter radius around the car will be completely shielded—not only can calls not be made or received, but even satellite signals cannot be received.

Lang Hongjun chatted with Ye Chen all the way while simultaneously using his phone to chat with his wife on WeChat; but as they chatted, the phone signal suddenly turned to "no service," which made him a little surprised, and he instinctively said: "Oh my, no internet already?"

The young man casually laughed: "Tsk, this is totally normal in Mexico; in such a place, once you leave the urban area, your phone basically has no signal."

Lang Hongjun lightly nodded, then put his phone down, looked out the window at the desolate, desert-like landscape, and asked Ye Chen: "Old brother, you came from the US to Mexico—do you feel the difference? Look at this barren wilderness outside; it's almost like an uninhabited zone."

Ye Chen laughed and said: "As for me, my adaptability is actually quite strong; if you let me stay in a presidential suite of a five-star hotel today, I wouldn't feel excited, and if you let me pitch a tent in the wilderness tomorrow, sleeping under the wind and dew, I wouldn't feel uncomfortable either."

Lang Hongjun laughed and said: "Your personality is good—this kind of personality is exactly the standard optimist, able to adapt quickly wherever you go."

"Yes." Ye Chen nodded and said: "I've been through all kinds of things over these many years; I dare not say I've seen much and known widely, but at least I can achieve being unmoved by favor or disgrace."

Lang Hongjun raised his thumb and praised: "I wish I could be as carefree as you."

Speaking, he glanced toward the distance; when he saw something vaguely in the distant wilderness, his brows suddenly furrowed.

Immediately, he instinctively picked up his phone and fiddled with it; his expression became increasingly solemn, even showing a hint of nervousness.

Ye Chen noticed Lang Hongjun's change out of the corner of his eye; he also saw Lang Hongjun carefully observing the Mexican driver, and he couldn't help but think to himself: "Could this Lang Hongjun have discovered some clue?"

Just as he was thinking this, Lang Hongjun picked up his phone, pressed something on it for a while, then handed it to Ye Chen, laughing and saying: "Old brother, take a look at my son's photo—he's quite handsome."

Ye Chen lowered his head to look; the phone screen he was handed had absolutely no photo, but instead a line of text: "Old brother, this kid has a problem! We might have been tricked!"
