“So what if I’m a fishmonger!” When the man in the undershirt heard this, he was instantly furious. He fiercely broke free from Sean’s hand and said, “What exactly do you want? If you still want to buy fish, give me the money quickly. If not, scram further away. I still have to drive the car back!”
This trip did not result in business. When he returned, the new boss would probably be angry again!
They were really unlucky to have encountered a group of lunatics!
Shi Man frowned and walked to Lin Si’s side, indicating for him to let go of the person first.
When the man saw Shi Man, he immediately thought of this woman’s terrifying appearance during the day. He shivered and said, “Missy, 1 really don’t know what’s going on! 1 heard from our boss when he called during the day that we were trading at the usual place!”
Of course, Shi Man knew that he was not lying. She did not believe the words of Brother Liang’s subordinates. Instead, she planned tonight’s operation after careful investigation.
But at this moment, she looked at the truck of frozen fish in front of her…
“Search!” Shi Man ordered. Sean and the others immediately rushed into the frozen cargo hold and searched the boxes carefully.
The man and his companion were immediately anxious. They looked at Shi Man angrily and made a move to fight her.
However, Yi Zheng grabbed his arm tightly as soon as he raised it. His cold gaze landed on him, scaring him so much that he did not dare to move.
Only then did the man notice that Yi Zheng was also there. He hurriedly looked at him for help and said, “President Yi, President Yi, you have to stand up for us! Aiyo, this should be Miss Shi!”
The man’s eyes lit up as he looked at Shi Man. Sensing that the hand on his arm had suddenly tightened, almost crushing his bones, he hurriedly begged for mercy. “Misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding. We’re on the same side!”
“Who’s on your side?” Sean led his men to search around and jumped down from Leng Dongcang. He shook his head at Shi Man and said, “Boss, there’s nothing we want. It’s really filled with frozen fish.”
Shi Man stared at the man in the sweatshirt with a dark expression and said, “Tell me clearly.”
“Let go of me first!” The man gritted his teeth in pain. It was not until Yi Zheng let go of his hand that he rubbed his wrist aggrievedly and said, “We’re really on the same side! Didn’t my boss write you a distress letter? Oh! I forgot to introduce myself. I’m from Nighthawk. Our boss is Zhu Wen now!”
“Nighthawk?” Sean was so shocked that his eyes were about to fall out. He looked him up and down in disbelief and said, “Why didn’t you manage your place properly? Why did you come here to sell frozen fish?”
“Isn’t this a problem!” The man in the undershirt sighed. Only then did he tell the whole story.
It turned out that ever since the explosion, Nighthawk’s vitality had not recovered. They had not taken revenge. The tense strings in the brothers’ minds snapped and they began to become lazy again.
Those who were not convinced by Zhu Wen jumped out to cause trouble again. Nighthawk was split into two factions. One was led by Zhu Wen. After the disaster, he even helped the commoners build temporary tents and helped save people. He did many good things.
The other faction was led by Cheng Zhen, whom Zhu Meng trusted the most. They continued to conduct their usual shady business and they developed far faster than Zhu Wen’s faction. Their financial resources were not something the latter could compare to.
Zhu Wen had inherited the name of the boss of the Nighthawks, but he didn’t want to continue his brother’s previous business. He wanted to lure everyone onto the right path. Unfortunately, the economy had regressed after the disaster. It was easier said than done to start from scratch.
However, his brothers could not go hungry with hundreds of people following him. Therefore, their Nighthawks used this dock as a temporary base to fish, sell fish, and transport other land and sea.
When the man in the sweatshirt spoke about this, he looked a little ashamed. “Actually, although we’re a little poor now, we can finally talk about our work to our family openly. I’m quite happy. Previously, when it was the most difficult, I even persuaded Boss to ask President Yi for help. After all, President Yi promised to help Nighthawk, but Boss refused no matter what.”
Shi Man was speechless, but she still didn’t want to let go of this opportunity. She continued to ask, “Then do you know if Cheng Zhen and the others are in the drug trafficking business now?”
The man frowned and replied in disbelief, “Huh? That can’t be! We also heard that the black market’s drug circulation is serious this time. Many mercenaries coming and going in the black market have been harmed, but many of their people have also been harmed. It shouldn’t be, right?”
Shi Man and Yi Zheng looked at each other and saw the seriousness in each other’s eyes.
The matter of waiting for the seller was a last-minute decision she made in the afternoon. The number of people involved could be counted on one hand. Either the seller had a sharp sense of smell and sensed that something was wrong in advance, so he found Zhu Wen’s people as a shield.
Or there was a mole among them.
However, at this point, Shi Man could not completely believe the man’s words. She asked Sean to bring the two of them into the car and let them lead the way. She would drive straight to Zhu Wen to ask him in person..
