Chapter 40 "Borrowing Equipment!"
There were no foreigners in this anti-smuggling team; it seems that Chief Ge didn't want to spend money this time.
But these traitors are even more despicable; they investigate even more thoroughly!
These people, one by one, all want to make a good impression on the foreigners, pretending to be selfless, but in reality, they're ruthless when it comes to making money! And they don't follow any rules at all.
When Boss Huo bribes his superiors and subordinates, the bulk of the money goes to these bastards in the anti-smuggling team. Otherwise, if he were short even a penny, these bastards would come knocking on his door.
Don't be fooled by the benefits Boss Huo usually gives them; now that someone has reported them, they've come here shamelessly.
Not to mention the fees that were paid. The fees were paid before because no one reported it or noticed that they were due. Now that someone has reported it, we have to pay more.
Boss Huo didn't stop the anti-smuggling team anyway, since they were too good to be true; these guys were experts at making the most of everything.
If weapons are found, seize the ship, arrest the crew, ask the foreigners for a reward, and then move up a flight of ships.
If they find nothing, these guys are shameless enough to just treat it as a routine check and get some tea money from Boss Huo.
Furthermore, when making a report, the whistleblower had to bribe the whistleblower; otherwise, the anti-smuggling team wouldn't easily come to someone like Boss Huo without evidence.
Regardless of the circumstances, they can accept both the whistleblower's money and Boss Huo's money!
Zhang Guohao slipped out of the dock. He couldn't help with what was happening on the dock, so he decided to go home first, rest up, and prepare to take action that night.
Back in his courtyard, Gang Sheng had prepared large, soft, white steamed buns. Zhang Guohao ate and played, and only after he was full did he fall into a deep sleep.
As evening approached, Zhang Guohao finally woke up. Gangsheng had already prepared dinner. After eating and drinking his fill, Zhang Guohao told Gangsheng to stay home obediently. He then changed into all-black clothes: a black cloth jacket and black cloth trousers, black socks, and soft-soled black cloth shoes. He walked without making a sound. He also wore a black cloth belt to tie the jacket tightly around his waist. As he walked, all his clothes clung to his body, and no matter how fast he moved, there wouldn't be a sound.
Hong Sheng glanced at Zhang Guohao, said nothing, and quietly began to clean up Zhang Guohao's leftovers.
Zhang Guohao was very satisfied with Hong Sheng's behavior; he was a man who valued men above all else, didn't ask many questions, didn't say much, and didn't hold anyone back.
Outside, Cheung Kwok-ho locked the gate to the courtyard and plunged into the gambling dens street in Kam Sha Tsui.
They were going to make their move that night, and they needed to prepare some things. Having only two bullets wasn't enough, so Zhang Guohao decided to go find some thieves and borrow some weapons.
Speaking of which, the original owner was a young master who was good at wielding weapons and had studied under many masters. He knew a little about both Southern and Northern styles of martial arts. Now, with the enhanced physique that Zhang Guohao gained after transmigrating, if he were to join the martial arts world, he would definitely be a grandmaster.
Anyway, the title of "Grandmaster" doesn't seem to be worth much.
In a martial arts contest, the skills of a reputable sect would certainly be more useful, but when it comes to leaving a note by the bedside, the skills of a master thief are more effective.
Zhang Guohao once thought of joining the most famous thief sect in North China, the Swallow Sect, and learning from Swallow Li San to become a thief who acts on behalf of heaven and robs the rich to help the poor.
Unfortunately, by the time Zhang Guohao was able to make his way in the world, things had changed drastically, and names like Yanzi Li San and Yanzi Men were commonplace.
There are more than a dozen people who call themselves Yanzi Li San, and their files in the government are stacked high.
The Swallow Clan has become the unified sect for all thieves in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. Any thief who goes out and makes a name for himself will claim to be a disciple of Swallow Li San.
Zhang Guohao only learned a little bit about climbing trees before giving up on further studies, because there were no masters worth learning from.
If it weren't for Boss Huo's special request today, Zhang Guohao wouldn't have even remembered that he had this skill!
It is said that adultery leads to murder, gambling leads to theft, and since ancient times, adultery has resulted in death. When it comes to being cuckolded, one must either kill the adulterers or be killed by them. No one can tolerate being cuckolded, unless they are a pervert.
Gamblers, on the other hand, try every means to make money. After all, nine out of ten gamblers lose, and no one can leave the house's table with a smile. Gamblers who want to turn their fortunes around or who are addicted often resort to theft. If they don't steal, they won't have any money!
Without money, you can't make a comeback. To make a comeback, you need to make money. What's a quick and low-risk way to make money? Stealing!
Zhang Guohao planned to visit several gambling dens to see if he could run into a gambler and borrow their magic bag.
The key is the various sedatives, some for humans and some for dogs.
Time is of the essence, and although Zhang Guohao knows some simple medicine recipes, there's no time to spare, so he has to borrow them.
Zhang Guohao lowered his head, hunched his shoulders, and smeared some soot from the bottom of a pot on his face to make it less conspicuous.
This kind of thing is all too common near gambling dens. Thieves make money quickly, and most of them have bad habits, especially smoking, whoring, and gambling.
Since they're going to sell the stolen goods anyway, they might as well just exchange them for gambling and prostitution fees, saving them the trouble of finding a middleman to take a cut.
They make money quickly, but they spend it extravagantly, without restraint, whether they have a lot of money or a little.
Zhang Guohao quickly spotted two targets.
The first target spoke with a Shandong accent, was quite tall, and had strong legs. He was obviously good at long-distance running and must be quite skilled at climbing roofs and trees. His legs were about two sizes thicker than normal.
This man was at the Pai Gow table, his eyes red as he watched the game. He didn't notice Zhang Guohao approaching and, without thinking, took a black leather pouch from his waist.
The other target was someone who spoke with a Beijing accent. Where do you compare sizes? This person wasn't as muscular as the first target, but his clothes and appearance were much better. He looked like someone who specialized in stealing antiques and calligraphy and played with high-end items.
Zhang Guohao also took the man's leather bag and a jade pendant from his waist, which should be quite valuable.
After strolling around the casino, Zhang Guohao left hurriedly while the gamblers weren't paying attention, disappearing into the night.
As Zhang Guohao walked, he checked the contents of two leather bags. These bags were specially made of deerskin; they didn't look big, but they could hold quite a lot of things.
It usually contains things like incense, locust stones, and rice balls.
The incense is naturally designed to harm people; if the dosage is properly prepared, it can affect about ten people.
The flying locust stone is a hidden weapon used to injure people. If it fails and someone is chasing you, you can use it to break the deadlock. Some people also use other things.
Of course, with the advancement of technology, some thieves have even switched to firearms.
The last rice ball is usually made of glutinous rice, with some hair or other things inside, making it sticky and gooey. It's specifically for dogs. This stuff has a fragrance, and dogs will swallow it as soon as they see it. But after chewing it a couple of times, they can't open their mouths because it's too sticky and has hair or other things stuck in it. It's like manually muting the dog's mouth.
