Chapter 1315: Chapter 1315: The Heavens’ Net is Vast; Sparse but Not Missed

The sea breeze was acrid and sweet, filled with the scent of seaweed, mixed with the smell of sand and soil, rushing towards him.

Shen Chi silently stood guard upstairs, his vantage point providing a clear view of every move at the dock.

"Xiao Mo, if anything unexpected happens later, remember, protect yourself and don’t worry about me," Shen Chi ordered in a cold voice!

He knew, with Xiao Mo’s loyalty, he would definitely protect him, but he didn’t need it!

"Boss Shen..."

"This is an order!" Shen Chi interrupted him.

Xiao Mo said nothing more, simply nodding his head.

Silently on guard, all was quiet around them, save for the roaring sounds of the sea waves.

It was half past eleven at night, and still no one had appeared at the dock.

Both Shen Chi and Xiao Mo were very patient, having waited nearly seven years, they weren’t concerned about a minute or a second more.

Tonight, as always, there was no moonlight; everything was pitch black, and thick clouds covered the sky, not a single star in sight.

Up in the attic, nobody moved; Shen Chi and Xiao Mo stood quietly in the dark, not even speaking a word.

Scattered beams of light stretched Shen Chi’s shadow long and thin, the dark figure somewhat desolate and lonely. However, his face remained impassive and calm, undisturbed and stern throughout.

Dust covered the old attic floor, its choking smell wafting in waves into their nostrils, furrowing their brows.

At 11:46, a message finally came from the dock: Boss Shen, a black commercial vehicle was spotted.

Shen Chi looked through binoculars, and sure enough, a black car was slowly approaching, with three people inside, by estimation.

"Boss Shen," Xiao Mo called to him anxiously, without elaboration.

Xiao Mo’s fists were also clenched tight, he stared intently ahead, ready to rush out at any moment!

Shen Chi remained silent, wild guesses were no use, better to just wait and see.

Shortly after, the car stopped at the dock.

Quickly, the car door opened, and three men in black suits stepped out.

"It’s Nie Chenglang," Xiao Mo said, surprised.

"Yes, it’s him," Shen Chi confirmed.

He was all too familiar with Nie Chenglang; he could draw his features even with his eyes closed. Only, he hadn’t expected him to show up here.

Nie Chenglang had been dragged into this vortex by his mother, and now he couldn’t get out!

This vortex was a bottomless pit, one only knew its depth and its dangers after falling in.

Nie Chenglang said a few words to his subordinates, then they walked over to a place near the dock that provided shelter from wind and rain.

The night sea breeze was getting stronger, the cold temperature chilling to the bone. After entering, Nie Chenglang and his men promptly closed the windows of the small house.

"Do you see the case in their hands?" Shen Chi said.

"Yes," Xiao Mo nodded, "It’s probably cash."

"Indeed, it must be cash."

"Feili Group also wants to take a share from Shen Shihan, hence, they don’t hesitate to take such a risk," Xiao Mo analyzed.

"Unfortunately, illicit acts are still illicit acts, justice has long arms, and they leave no stone unturned."

After speaking, Shen Chi and Xiao Mo continued to keep watch over everything nearby.

The dock people also closely monitored Nie Chenglang’s movements, but since the doors and windows were all closed, they couldn’t find out anything for the time being.

"How is Li Beiting preparing back in the country?" Shen Chi asked.

"Boss Li said that since the last explosion, he hasn’t been able to sleep for several nights. He really wants to come over, but I firmly disagree. He has no way to do it, can’t even find our exact location."

"He shouldn’t have been involved."

"There’s no immediate danger back in the country, you can rest assured, Boss Shen."

They spoke in whispers while calmly observing the situation below.

Other than that, there were no disturbances.

Shen Chi was certain that Shen Shihan would definitely appear tonight, and moreover, complete the transaction.

Shen Shihan had delayed for a long time already, he couldn’t continue to drag it out, he urgently needed to turn around funds.

After twelve o’clock midnight, suddenly, another black van stopped at the dock!

"Boss Shen, look, it’s the local Mafia Forces leader, he’s been controlling the black market in this area, and the United States police have always struggled without any concrete evidence against him," Xiao Mo said.

"If this operation is successful, we can present him as a big gift to the United States police."

"Good!"

After several men from the Mafia Forces got out of the van, one of them made a phone call, then proceeded towards the house where Nie Chenglang was.

Nie Chenglang was talking with his men when he saw someone pushing the door, his gaze fell on the newcomer.

"Are you here to collect the cash?" Nie Chenglang frowned and asked.

This group seemed hostile, all looking quite ferocious. His mother said she was sending money to these people? Who exactly were they?

"You’re right, here’s the contract, have a look first!" The other party slapped several pages of paper on the table.

"What kind of business are you doing? Why do you need such a large deposit?" Nie Chenglang asked, full of doubts.

"It’s none of your business what we do, you’re just here to deliver the money!"

"Then I have the right to know."

"You don’t have the right to know, Lu Feili is the final decision-maker. Be clear about this, you’re only delivering the money!"

"Are you threatening my mother?" Nie Chenglang felt something was amiss.

"How could we engage in such dirty deeds? Lu Feili couldn’t wait to cooperate with us, her investment is equivalent to buying shares, she will become one of our major shareholders. Isn’t such a good deal something she’s been begging us for?"

"I need to call my mother!"

Nie Chenglang was unclear about the inner workings and felt vaguely that things weren’t so simple.

Although the contract on the table was just an ordinary commercial contract, without any traps, he always felt that making transactions at dawn didn’t seem like something honorable.

"No need to call!" Just then, the door was pushed open again!

A blast of cold wind backdrafted in, raising the dust in the house a little higher.

The person who came was none other than Shen Shihan.

"Shen Shihan..." Nie Chenglang murmured.

Shen Shihan’s cold and distant gaze swept through the house once, wherever his eyes landed, an air of chill arose.

Then, he walked over to the table, picked up the contract, and glanced over Nie Chenglang’s case.

"Jack, where’s your merchandise?" Shen Shihan questioned, holding the contract, his cold eyes directed toward the Mafia Forces leader.

"Boss Shen, rest assured, the goods will be delivered immediately in ten minutes," Jack laughed merrily.

Nie Chenglang’s heart was lifted, so it turned out, the person his mother wanted to cooperate with was none other than Shen Shihan!

Nie Chenglang had heard a little about the issues between Shen Shihan and Shen Chi, but never did he expect that one day, he would be involved! No, dragged in!
