Chapter 305: Chapter 313 Accident Exposed

At 7 p.m., Li Yifei and Lin Qiong had already arrived at the Yiyun Clubhouse. The fact that they were invited to dine here also reflected the other party’s regard for the two of them. It seemed that a bait of twenty million was enticing enough to make the whole group interested.

Smuggling is a highly lucrative business, but it generally isn’t easy to handle. For this smuggling group, a single shipment was worth about twenty to thirty million, and after their goods arrived, they still had to distribute them. If all buyers were retail customers, it would consume a lot of manpower and resources. If there were a transaction worth millions, that would be significant enough to capture their attention.

And with twenty million, that was almost tantamount to taking all their goods, which meant they could specifically smuggle the goods over. As for distribution and the like, it would save them a lot of trouble. If they were to transport goods a couple more times each month, their profits would increase substantially. Having such a partner was undoubtedly something they could only wish for.

During their last cooperation, their wariness of Li Yifei had already decreased quite a bit. This time, Li Yifei had swiftly transferred a three million deposit into their account, which made them trust Li Yifei completely.

Inside the Yiyun Clubhouse, Li Yifei and Lin Qiong finally met the legendary big shot—a man around fifty years old named Qian Wanjun. He was not tall, with a thin face, but his eyes were sharp and shrewd, as if a single glance could pierce through someone’s thoughts.

Those involved in smuggling truly required higher intellect compared to the underworld figures. This boss was clearly one of high intelligence.

Qian Wanjun greeted Li Yifei with warmth and laughter, "Brother Li, I was too busy to meet you during your last visit, which was really impolite of me. Today, I’ve prepared a modest drink to make amends. I hope Brother Li won’t take it to heart."

Li Yifei laughed heartily, "Boss Qian, to meet such a distinguished figure is my honor. Initially, I did not intend to go big, but then I met two friends who were extremely interested. They entrusted me to handle it, leading to this large scale operation. I hope Boss Qian will give me some face and spare me from losing it in front of my friends."

Qian Wanjun patted Li Yifei’s hand and sized up both Li Yifei and Lin Qiong, "That’s impossible. How could I, Qian Wanjun, fail to give face to someone I’m doing business with?"

Li Yifei laughed again, "Boss Qian is truly deserving of his reputation, decisive in his dealings. I just love doing business with characters like Boss Qian."

Once everyone sat down, the food and drinks were served. Qian Wanjun probed subtly about how Li Yifei planned to sell the goods and what kind of connections he had.

Li Yifei had already discussed this with Lin Qiong, so he was ready with answers, adopting an arrogant tone that might have sounded boastful but fit the character he was portraying.

It could be said that Li Yifei and Lin Qiong didn’t slip up at all, and the dinner went very pleasantly. Lin Qiong had secretly recorded everything. Once they left, she could hardly contain her excitement. With such evidence, they were more than halfway there. Now, if they could capture the upcoming delivery on tape, they would have a complete set of evidence, and Qian Wanjun would be helpless, even if he had protectors.

The next evening, Li Yifei and Lin Qiong arrived at the dock again, the same dock, but this time the other side’s setup was elaborate—three large container trucks, more than a dozen bodyguards, and Qian Wanjun himself came to handle the transaction with Li Yifei, a sign of his high regard.

After inspecting the goods in the truck, Li Yifei and Lin Qiong met with Qian Wanjun, who laughed heartily, "Brother Li, how are the goods? Not bad, right?"

Li Yifei gave a thumbs-up, "Indeed excellent. With these goods, I’m going to make a fortune. Boss Qian, I hope we’ll have the chance to work together frequently in the future."

"No problem, but please, Brother Li, settle the remaining payment."

Li Yifei chuckled, "No problem." He then pretended to transfer the money on his phone, but after fiddling around for a while, he suddenly looked horrified and exclaimed, "Damn, there’s a problem with my account. I can’t transfer the money!"

Qian Wanjun’s face darkened instantly, "Brother Li, you aren’t joking with me, are you?"

Li Yifei forced a smile, "How could I dare to joke about this? I’ve already paid a three million deposit. Boss Qian, there’s an issue with the money today; I’ll get it sorted and transfer it to you tomorrow. I won’t take the goods now, to avoid any insinuations that I’ve cheated you."

Seeing Li Yifei’s statement, Qian Wanjun’s expression softened a little, "Brother Li, don’t say I’m not righteous. It’s a large sum; without payment, I can’t let you just take the goods."

"I’m not that kind of person. Wouldn’t that mean I’m being dishonorable? I’ll definitely get the money sorted out tomorrow. I’ll send it over during the day. I trust Boss Qian won’t tamper with the goods."

"Of course not. We’ve done business more than once or twice. Boss Qian won’t tarnish his own reputation. Since that’s settled, let’s enjoy ourselves again tonight."

Li Yifei readily agreed, and the group headed to the same karaoke bar they were at before. First, they sang and had fun, and after 11 p.m., they left the KTV room, planning to go upstairs to rest. But in the hallway, someone approached them and suddenly exclaimed with surprise, "Brother Li, what are you doing here?"

Lin Qiong felt a shock in her heart. She now realized that the person was Meng Xiaofei, and she also felt thoroughly frustrated. Though people who were not familiar with her and Li Yifei couldn’t recognize them in disguise, anyone who knew them could still identify them at a glance. This meant that their disguising technique was a resounding failure.

"Brother Li, do you have a sweetheart here in Mile City?" Qian Wanjun poked Li Yifei, with a mischievous smile on his face.

Li Yifei chuckled dryly, trying to convey a message to Meng Xiaofei, but she was already excitedly running over. Before she even got close to Li Yifei, she shouted, "Brother Li, what are you up to? Why have you made yourself look like this? You look several years older."

Qian Wanjun’s expression changed instantly, and turning to Li Yifei, he said, "So you’re younger than you appear now."

What was even more disastrous was that Meng Xiaofei also saw Lin Qiong at that moment and burst into laughter, saying, "Officer Lin, why have you ended up looking like this?"

"Police!"

Qian Wanjun’s face turned pale, and with a wave of his hand, he commanded in a deep voice, "Take them all!"

At this point, Lin Qiong was truly annoyed. As long as they could get away from Qian Wanjun that day, their task would have been accomplished, but at this crucial moment, a fatal problem had arisen.

Li Yifei, on the other hand, took a quick step to pull Meng Xiaofei to his side. Now that their cover was blown, he had to ensure Meng Xiaofei’s safety first.

"Brother Li, Officer Lin, what... what in the world is going on here?" Meng Xiaofei also sensed that something was abnormal and stammered the question.

Li Yifei chuckled softly and said, "You’ve messed up our plans, and now they want to catch us, putting you in danger too."

"Ah, I’m really sorry, I didn’t know you were in the middle of something," Meng Xiaofei said, sticking out her tongue, but she didn’t seem very scared.

Lin Qiong and Li Yifei stood back-to-back, tense, as Lin Qiong said, "You have to take the merchandise out no matter what."

Li Yifei asked, "Just the two of us, do we have a chance of getting out?"

Clenching her fists, Lin Qiong replied, "We have to make it work. It must work, or I won’t rest in peace even if I die."

Before they could finish their conversation, Qian Wanjun’s bodyguards had already charged at them. The two bodyguards brought by Yao Mingyuan were formidable, and Qian Wanjun’s bodyguards, being as he was the boss, were even more formidable. If the corridor hadn’t been too narrow to fight effectively, Lin Qiong would have already been captured.

"You break out, don’t worry about me!" Lin Qiong said as she engaged with a bodyguard, realizing she had no chance of escaping on her own as her adversary was simply too strong. It was too late to call for backup, so her only hope was that Li Yifei could break out.

Meng Xiaofei was terrified by now, not expecting that her own shout could lead to such a major trouble. She stood frozen between Li Yifei and Lin Qiong, unable to move an inch.

Qian Wanjun’s bodyguards were indeed formidable, but everything is relative. Compared to Lin Qiong, they were naturally very strong, but next to Li Yifei, they were seriously outclassed. Li Yifei could easily take them all down if he wanted to.

Li Yifei did not want to reveal his full strength, but given the current situation, if he did not show some real skill, it would be difficult for them to escape, let alone protect Lin Qiong and Meng Xiaofei. Sighing inwardly, his hands flashed out like lightning, striking the necks of two opponents facing him.

The two men grunted, their bodies immediately collapsing limply to the ground. Li Yifei’s palm edges had hit the nerves in their necks, instantly knocking them out. Lin Qiong knew that striking this part of the body could knock someone out, but it required enough strength and precision. She might manage it if someone stood still, but in actual combat, she simply lacked the skill.

After Li Yifei had taken down two men, he grabbed a nearby trash bin, spun around, and threw it in front of Lin Qiong, blocking the people in front of her. He then quickly pulled Meng Xiaofei and Lin Qiong, toppling the two men in their path, and dragged them as he sprinted towards the exit of the ballroom.

Lin Qiong didn’t know what had happened; Li Yifei had already pulled her out of the encirclement. But now she didn’t have time to ask Li Yifei what was happening, as she sprinted with all her might, well aware that everything she had done was related to the life and death of the smuggling group, and they would definitely not let them go easily.
