Elder brother's garrison

Page 1035

Especially the street where we met, the entire street was completely plunged into darkness when night fell.

There were hardly any pedestrians on the street.

Xiaobai and the ship girls waited for a short while in front of the small inn. Then, they heard the whirring of tires and engine, and a bright white minivan came straight from the other end of the street to the inn and stopped with a whoosh.

The van opened.

Wu Ke poked his bald head out of the van and called out to Xiao Bai and the others at the hotel entrance.

"Is it a rookie mercenary group?"

“Yes.” Iowa nodded to Wu Ke.

"Get in!" Wu Ke pulled his head back and opened the van door even wider.

Xiao Bai glanced silently at the white van in front of him from outside the car.

This van is very similar to the one Xiaobai saw at noon today. At first glance, Xiaobai thought that the young men he had sent to the police station for questioning had been released.

Fortunately, Xiaobai remembered the license plate number; this van's license plate number was slightly different from the one from noon.

Xiaobai and the ship girls boarded the van.

Inside the van, several burly men sat in different corners of the vehicle, wearing sunglasses and remaining silent despite it being nighttime.

Xiaobai and the ship girls were in a van, which sped through the city, turning left and right. They traveled for quite a while, and before they knew it, there were fewer and fewer buildings along the road, and the original elevated concrete landscape on both sides gradually turned into two fields of mountains, rivers and farmland.

"Admiral, we've left the city," Ooi and Kitakami whispered in Shiro's ear.

Xiao Bai nodded silently and looked around at the scenery.

The van drove along, gradually approaching a white-capped mountain range under the moonlight, and stopped outside a tourist restaurant at the foot of the mountain.

Under the cover of night.

The tourist restaurant was brightly lit.

It was as conspicuous as a lighthouse that had been baked yellow.

The van heard something outside the restaurant and opened its door.

As soon as Xiaobai and the ship girls got off the car, several beautiful and striking women in black stepped out and walked towards the door to greet them.

"Ladies, please follow us."

The women in black led Xiaobai, their tone icy and as if they wanted to keep things simple.

Xiao Bai looked at the women in black who were leading the way with great surprise.

These are the women in black.

They're all ship girls?

Moreover, their auras were not weak; they were at least not at the level of ordinary wandering ship girls.

Xiao Bai was somewhat surprised.

Fish City is not located on the coast and there are no deep sea areas around it, so there is actually no admiral stationed in this area.

Without an admiral stationed there, where did all these skilled ship girls come from?

With her questions in mind, Xiaobai and the ship girls who were guiding her entered the small restaurant.

The restaurant was brightly lit outside, but the interior was empty.

The huge restaurant didn't even have a few decent tables; all you could see were floor tiles and white walls, making it look like a giant base for illegal elements.

Inside the restaurant, a row of women dressed in black stood.

Surrounded by women in black.

A middle-aged man in a suit sat on a chair, idly fiddling with his phone. The bright light from the phone illuminated his large face, making it appear incredibly pale and comical.

"Excuse me, are you General Manager Jiang?"

Xiao Bai walked into the restaurant and called out to the man playing on his phone in the distance.

"Ouch, ouch!" Upon hearing Xiao Bai's voice, the man named Jiang quickly put down his phone, stood up from his chair, and put on a simple and honest smile. "Are you a member of the Rookie Mercenary Group?"

"Yes, it's us." Xiao Bai nodded to President Jiang. "Excuse me, President Jiang, are you the one we're dealing with?"

"Haha, it's me, it's me. I'm just a humble guy, you can call me Xiao Jiang." The man looked at Xiao Bai and the women behind him, his gaze sweeping over the ship girls behind Xiao Bai. He nodded slightly, his expression becoming much more amiable. "Well, you've all come from afar, I'm sure you're tired from your journey. If you don't want to waste time with me, let's get straight to the point."

The man turned his back.

He pulled a bag of brown paper from behind his back and handed it to the woman in black beside him.

The woman in black took the parchment and handed it to Xiaobai.

"This is?"

"This is the transaction target. It's Deep Sea Message. If you're not comfortable with it, you can open it to inspect it. But remember, once you open it, if the message itself is without problems, there will be no returns," the man said.

"Okay." Xiaobai nodded and took the brown paper bag. "No problem."

The man gestured for the man to proceed.

Xiao Bai opened the kraft paper and looked inside.

At first glance.

Xiao Bai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

The document inside the kraft paper was a very detailed marine survey report, which included photos, evidence, and records spanning several weeks. The last page of the marine survey report simply stated a target location.

These methods and formats for proving maritime rights are exclusively for the admirals.

Oh wow.

Just considering the way marine area reports are written.

This information about the sea area is really quite helpful.

Xiaobai closed the kraft paper.

“Okay, I bought it,” Xiaobai said to the man.

Chapter 1342 Arrest her!

"Happy transaction, dear member. It's my honor to have you satisfied."

In the restaurant, President Jiang watched as Xiao Bai put away the kraft paper with satisfaction, a pleased smile appearing on his face.

How much do you charge for this information?

Xiao Bai asked President Jiang.

"At the original price, we usually sell a Deep Sea Message for one million yuan. During our previous phone call, I promised you a 20% discount, so you can give me 800,000 yuan."

"Didn't we say in our previous phone call that we didn't need any discounts?"

Xiao Bai smiled at President Jiang, "This is our first transaction, so it's better to stick with the original price."

President Jiang was stunned.

His smile then became even brighter.

"...Your company is truly generous." President Jiang exclaimed, cupping his hands in a gesture of respect to Xiaobai. "Seeing your exquisite figure, I initially thought you were a pampered and delicate flower, but I never expected your demeanor to be so extraordinary. I admire you. I, Jiang, am willing to befriend your company. Let's show our sincerity and proceed with the most proper ceremony: one million!"

President Jiang looked at Xiaobai with satisfaction.

He seemed very satisfied with the trading partner.

"Do you accept credit cards?"

Xiao Bai took out his credit card and asked President Jiang.

"Miss, to ensure confidentiality, this payment will be made entirely in cash." Mr. Jiang's smile quickly froze in mid-air. He raised his eyebrows, looking somewhat puzzled. "If I remember correctly... I reminded you about the cash payment twice on the phone before, didn't I?"

"Ah! Sorry, I don't have a very good memory..."

Xiao Bai quickly slapped his forehead twice and looked at President Jiang apologetically, "I'm so sorry... I can withdraw it now. Are there any banks or similar places around here?"

"..."

Mr. Jiang was silent for a moment, then nodded. "We are currently at Fish City Resort. Because of the resort, the banks close relatively late, so there should still be a few banks open nearby. Large sums of cash... can be withdrawn."

"Ah, that's good." Xiaobai nodded. "Can I have my ship girl go get the money?"

"Of course. They'll take you there." President Jiang nodded, glancing at the black-clad ship girls beside him.

Several black-clad ship girls stepped out of the formation and walked to Xiaobai's side.

"Who needs to withdraw money? Please come with me."

A black-clad ship girl spoke to Xiaobai with a blank expression.

"I'll leave the matter of withdrawing the money to you."

Xiao Bai turned around, took out a bank card from his pocket, and smiled at Iahua.

"As ordered."

Iowa nodded slightly, took Xiaobai's bank card with both hands, and smiled politely at the women in black around her, "Then I'll trouble you ladies to lead the way."

"..." The black-clad ship girls.

Led by several black-clad ship girls, Iowa walked out of the restaurant.

Xiao Bai stood there, silently watching Iowa's departing figure.

Although the black-clad ship girls claimed to be guiding Iowa to find the bank, judging from the fact that Iowa was surrounded by them in layers, it didn't seem like they were simply leading the way, but rather more like they were monitoring her.

Iowa and the black-clad ship girls gradually blended into the deep night and disappeared from Xiaobai's sight.

Xiao Bai silently glanced at President Jiang inside the restaurant.

Ok.

For now, everything is progressing as planned.

Just now, Xiaobai said that he has a bad memory and forgot that this transaction was only for cash.

—That's obviously a lie.

Who is Xiaobai?

They make a living solely from their memory.

Everyone can forget something like this, but even a novice wouldn't forget it.

This time, she deliberately didn't bring any cash.

The main reason for deliberately not bringing cash to the transaction was to prolong the transaction time and create more opportunities for communication between himself and this Mr. Jiang.

After all, Xiaobai's real target was not the CEO Jiang in front of him.

It was the mysterious admiral behind him who provided him with information.

“Miss, withdrawing one million in cash is a very complicated process. Even though this is a resort with some special assistance, it's not something that can be done in ten or twenty minutes. Anyway, let's find a place to sit and wait until your group members come back with the money.” Mr. Jiang sat back in his chair with a hint of helplessness and pointed to the scattered chairs in the restaurant lobby.

"...I'm sorry to have troubled you, Mr. Jiang."

Xiao Bai found the chair closest to him and sat down, smiling apologetically at President Jiang.

"...Please don't do that again next time." President Jiang's lips twitched, but he simply waved his hand and didn't delve into the matter further.

It seems that Xiaobai went to the door without bringing cash.

This still made President Jiang quite unhappy.

After seven or eight black-clad ship girls accompanied Iowa out, there were still quite a few black-clad ship girls left in the restaurant.

After Xiaobai took her seat, one of the ship girls in black quietly stepped forward, took out a teacup and teapot from her ship equipment space, and poured Xiaobai a cup of tea.

"Thank you." Xiaobai accepted the teacup and smiled at the black-clad ship girl.

"..." The black-clad ship girl glanced at Xiaobai expressionlessly, then silently withdrew her gaze and returned to her original position.

Xiao Bai held the teacup and looked around at the women in black.

"Mr. Jiang, are all the assistants around you... girls in black?" Xiao Bai asked Mr. Jiang with a smile.

"Them? Hmm... Due to some special reasons, they were entrusted to stay by my side to ensure my safety and the smooth conduct of transactions." Boss Jiang shrugged. "I was originally planning to bring one of my underlings who I've been eyeing recently, but who knew I'd step in some dog poop at noon. That guy got caught red-handed by the cops while collecting a debt, and now he's in the police station for a chat, damn it."

When President Jiang finished speaking, he muttered a few curses under his breath, looking quite displeased.

Needless to say.
