Chapter 104: Chapter 104: Didn’t Expect It to Be So Simple!
The two gunmen sent to the hospital confessed quickly, saying it was Mark who had hired them to kill Sean Knight.
On the gunmen, they also found the photo of Sean Knight given by Mark, and the unspent money.
Mark thought the operation would be a sure success, after all, shooting someone when they were completely unprepared had a naturally high success rate.
That’s why he dared to meet with the gunmen - and these two gunmen often worked together and had never made any mistakes before.
Who would have thought that not only would Sean Knight miraculously evade the gunfire, but also happen to encounter the police at the same time?
So when Paul led people to arrest Mark, he was dumbfounded!
What kind of idiot teammates did he find?
How could such an operation even fail?
Fortunately, he knows the police arrest process and the judge’s trial process very well and remained silent throughout.
Paul allowed Sean Knight to see Mark in secret, and Sean Knight told Paul that this was the lawyer.
Paul patted Sean Knight on the shoulder and said:
"Leave the rest to me."
Sean Knight thought for a moment and said:
"I hope to donate 100,000 dollars to the Port Police Station to improve the living environment, can you ...?"
Paul did not expect Sean Knight would pull such a trick, and he looked at him somewhat surprised.
Sean Knight shrugged:
"You’re not the Director. You can help me, but I doubt everyone inside will do their best - I want all available means to be used! If 100,000 is not enough, I will add more money!"
Paul patted Sean Knight’s shoulder again without saying anything.
With Mark in custody and the two gunmen guarded by the police in the hospital, Sean Knight felt a little relieved.
However, Sean Knight was afraid that Mark or that Elson would have backup plans - Mark was most likely sent by Elson, so he didn’t go to a secluded place as he instead entered the freight yard.
Although the freight yard was also mixed with all kinds of people, at least there was a small area here that belonged to him!
Arriving at his own freight yard, Sean Knight was surprised to see that there was virtually no open space left.
The workers hustled back and forth, not forgetting to greet the incoming Sean Knight.
The trucks carrying containers were busy shuttling back and forth, the rented overhead crane was continuously lifting containers, presenting a bustling scene.
Jason spotted Sean Knight and ran over, saying:
"Boss!"
Sean Knight pointed at the remaining open space and asked:
"How can we manage that if we want to bring some unclaimed containers here with such limited space?"
Jason pointed to a pile of containers next to him and said:
"The renting time for these containers is two days, and they can be taken away the day after tomorrow, which will make more room.
I planned to wait for them to move the stuff on that day, then you come here, Boss, and we will buy the containers that we saw in other yards, pile them here, and auction them off in batches!"
Sean Knight didn’t expect Jason to have planned it all, so he nodded and said:
"All right, let’s do it as you said. By the way, take me to check the accounts."
"Okay, Boss, follow me!"
Jason led Sean Knight to the only room here in the Freight Yard - a place that served as both a security guard room and a finance room at the Freight Yard entrance.
Two workers dressed as security guards played the role of guards, and two more workers acted as finance personnel and cashiers.
Seeing Jason and Sean Knight coming in, the four workers promptly stood up.
"The Boss is here to check the accounts! Quickly bring out the account book and cash!" As soon as Jason entered the room, he orders loudly and Sean Knight noticed a somewhat overbearing manner.
The two workers quickly produced the account book and cash, and a small safe was conveniently available.
Checking the income and expenses, Sean Knight was surprised to find that the yard had made a profit in just a few days!
Not bad!
It was an unexpected surprise!
Sean Knight praised the workers for their efforts and left the room.
Having received praise from Sean Knight, the four workers stood straighter than before, and their voices became much louder!
Just as he left the room, Sean Knight saw Bondi and Clark rushing over.
"Hello, Boss!"
"Boss! I just came back from the pier and got another shipment of containers!"
"On my end, I’m preparing to push people to move out the expired containers, or else the rent will go up!"
Both of them took the initiative to report their work to Sean Knight.
It was clear that both of them cherished and were satisfied with their work.
However, the yard’s booming business was a problem! Without clearing a space, how could they hold an auction?
He told Bondi:
"After this shipment of containers, don’t accept any more for the time being. We need to clear some space for the auction of unclaimed containers."
"Alright, Boss!"
Being suddenly praised by the three workers, Sean Knight felt a bit carried away.
However, he soon cleared that feeling - having just experienced the shooting incident, it was better to keep a low profile!
"You guys just follow the division of labor." Sean Knight added, "Alright, Jason, which yard has a container auction today?"
"There’s an auction at Warehouse 32, but it might be almost over by now."
Hearing that it was almost over, Sean Knight lost interest. It seemed that today was a day to spend money.
Thinking of what he had to tell Robert, Sean Knight took out his mobile phone and dialed Robert.
"You’re saying that Mark found two gunmen to kill you, and they were caught by the police? How could this Mark make such a stupid move?"
Robert couldn’t believe his own ears that Mark screwed up at a crucial time!
However, this was good news for both him and Sean Knight!
"If that’s the case, I’ll quickly contact the lawyer here - it’ll save quite a bit on counsel fees!"
Sean Knight was also exhilarated.
After donating 100,000 dollars to the police station and paying Robert a counsel fee of another 100,000 dollars, he felt great even though a large sum had been taken from his wallet.
At least the situation had taken a significant step forward!
A worker came, noticing Sean Knight standing at the entrance of the freight yard, and quickly fetched a chair from the security room.
Sean Knight nodded approvingly at him, and the worker grinned and turned away.
After hanging up with Robert, Sean Knight’s mobile phone rang.
He looked down and saw it was a call from Monica Brown.
He picked it up, and Monica Brown informed Sean Knight of unexpected news:
He was now famous in the treasure hunting world in New York!
Because in the Treasure Hunter circle, there was a promising young man named William who, hearing George say that Sean Knight was very skilled, didn’t believe it and wanted to find a hidden treasure of a disguised fascist military officer to refute George’s words.
William found the mountain mine, but was killed by a trap inside.
Seven or eight people with him were also killed, while the two guarding the car outside narrowly escaped!
As the news spread, George proudly said that William should not have been so stubborn. He was not as good as Sean Knight, his skills were mediocre, and his professionalism was inadequate, yet he insisted on trying to outdo Sean Knight!
This time, he screwed up big time!
Not only did he mess up, but he also sold many shares of treasure hunting, ruining several colleagues!
George’s words spread like wildfire, and Sean Knight became famous in the treasure hunting circles of New York!
