Chapter 193 Preparing Military Supplies
Watching Shen Qing's figure disappear through the door, Liu Yan walked in with a cup of tea, a hint of doubt on her face. She asked softly, "What exactly does this Mr. Shen do? And who are those people he mentioned?"
Yan Shuo leaned back in his rattan chair, his tone indifferent: "What else could they be but a bunch of parasites?"
Liu Yan's eyes lit up, and she leaned closer: "So you're going to arrange for them to run away? Let me tell you, they'll definitely be carrying a lot of money, maybe even ill-gotten gains!"
Yan Shuo glanced at her and said in a flat tone, "Don't bother with them. That little bit of money isn't enough to do anything significant."
"Uh, you don't understand!" Liu Yan exclaimed anxiously, quickly explaining, "These people don't seem to have much money on them, but they definitely have overseas bank accounts. They can transfer and deposit money once they arrive at their destination. The real money is in their accounts, not on their bodies!"
Yan Shuo frowned, his tone becoming serious: "You... you'd better not do anything rash. What if these people are studying abroad on government assignments, and we've made a mistake? That would be a huge problem."
"You're just too cautious!" Liu Yan waved her hand and said with a smile, "We can send a few people to investigate and analyze first. Those who have families and are obviously not old enough to go to school are basically the targets we need to find."
Yan Shuo thought for a moment and nodded: "That's true. But even those who study abroad might not return after they finish their studies. They might stay there and become their talent, turning against us. Forget it, let's not try to take advantage of the students. Their tuition isn't much, and once they're abroad, they'll probably have to wash dishes and do odd jobs to earn their living expenses. It's not easy for them."
Liu Yan's eyes darted around, and she said, "If we're not going to target the students, how about we go after the families of high-ranking officials? We can't just watch them go abroad and enjoy their ill-gotten gains, can we?"
Yan Shuo pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded: "Yes, but you have to be careful. Shen Qing has been running around here for over a month without any problems. If we make a mistake as soon as we take over, it won't be right, and it will backfire on us."
"We can't just let them get away with it!" Liu Yan said, somewhat unwilling. "How about we send a few people over there? We're going to send people over there anyway, so we can take this opportunity to investigate and deal with them there, disguise it as a gang fight or a racial conflict, and keep it a secret."
Yan Shuo raised an eyebrow: "Do we have enough travel and funding for the people we send out?"
"Who cares, it's not much money anyway." Liu Yan waved her hand. "Hurry up and arrange for someone to take care of it! Remember, if they are legitimate families with their own businesses, we don't need to touch them; but those high-ranking officials' families with unclear backgrounds and incomes that are seriously inconsistent with their status, just deal with them directly. Let them be greedy! Let them be greedy as much as they want! Hmph, no need to bring them back, just deal with them on the spot and get the money back from their bodies and accounts."
"What are you thinking?" Yan Shuo sneered. "How are you going to bring back so much money? You definitely can't get on a regular passenger ship; it'll be easy to get caught."
"Put it on a cargo ship!" Liu Yan said confidently. "We'll send out a small cargo ship, a thousand tons will be enough, as long as it can cross the sea. Let the cargo ship anchor in international waters, and after our people succeed, they'll use small boats to transport the money onto the cargo ship. When the cargo ship arrives here, it will also anchor in international waters, and I'll arrange for people to make the handover. That way, neither over there nor over here will have anything to do with us, and no investigation will trace it back to us."
Yan Shuo's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "You're really something! In that case, our people shouldn't take the passenger ships with high passenger traffic. They can just take this cargo ship and then transfer to a smaller boat to disembark in international waters. It's just a matter of complicated procedures, but there's no surveillance there, and the coastal patrol boats can't outrun my little boat. Once we find a secluded spot to disembark, with our people's professional skills, it won't be difficult for us to sneak in."
"Yes!" Liu Yan nodded. "Also, remember to find some people who are good at English. It will be easier to communicate over there and less likely to give us away."
After hanging up the phone, Yan Shuo did not leave immediately, but stayed in the office alone, discussing things with the system Xiao Zhi in his mind.
After much pleading and persuasion, he finally convinced Xiao Zhi to exchange his magical artifact, which had a volume of 100 million cubic meters, for 20 smaller magical artifacts, each with a volume of 100 cubic meters.
Although its power has been reduced by 500 times, its small size, flexibility, and large quantity make it much more convenient for Yan Shuo to use.
Looking at the pile of palm-sized magical artifacts in his hand, he didn't care that the individual storage space was much smaller than before.
I still have space expansion cards on hand. If any magical artifact needs more space in the future, I can expand it whenever I want. Right now, convenience is the most important thing.
After settling the magical artifacts, Yan Shuo immediately went to Xinze, found Ali and Xu Li, and handed them two magical artifacts, each with a volume of 500 cubic meters. Pointing to the patterns on the surface of the artifacts, he instructed, "Look carefully, the patterns on these are the marks of ownership. Drip your fingertip blood into the center of the patterns, and the artifact will be yours to use exclusively. No one else can use it. From now on, we'll rely on these for storing and transporting supplies, so you two won't have to carry boxes around every day and attract too much attention."
Ali quickly gripped the magical artifact tightly, pinching a drop of blood from his fingertips and dripping it onto the patterns. Watching the patterns slowly glow and then fade away, his eyes were filled with astonishment: "Station Chief, this thing is incredible! Rest assured, I swear on my life, even if it means death, I will never divulge a single word, and I will never let this treasure fall into the wrong hands!"
Yan Shuo patted him on the shoulder and handed him a narrow black belt, demonstrating how to press the snap button on the side: "Don't just be amazed. This is a cutting-edge bulletproof vest, designed like a belt. It's inconspicuous when worn normally. In a critical moment, press this snap button, and your entire body, except for your face, will be covered by a bulletproof layer. Ordinary gunshots can't penetrate it at all. But be careful with bombs. If the power is too great, the bulletproof vest can stop shrapnel, but it can't stop the shockwave. You'll still be injured by the shock. Be careful when you're on a mission."
"Thank you, Station Chief! I'll remember that!" Ali's voice trembled with excitement as he quickly took the bulletproof vest, fastened it around his waist, and repeatedly pressed the snaps. Watching the bulletproof layers instantly unfold and then retract, he grinned from ear to ear. "With these two treasures, I feel much more confident carrying out my mission!"
Yan Shuo turned to Xu Li, handing him another magical artifact and a bulletproof vest, his tone softening slightly: "Xu Li, you're more meticulous and composed than Ali. I feel more at ease letting you use this artifact. It also undergoes a blood-binding ceremony. The 500-cubic-meter space is enough for you to store your food, drink, weapons, ammunition, and the confidential documents you usually exchange. You don't need to worry about being discovered if you're searched along the way. After binding, it will disappear under your skin, you won't be able to touch it."
Xu Li followed instructions and performed the blood oath ceremony, carefully stroking the magical artifact in his palm. His tone was firm: "Thank you for your trust, Station Master! Just watch my performance! This is truly a precious item. Like Ali, I will protect its secrets with my life, and I will never delay any mission. I will never let you down!"
