The dock is located right next to the Yangtze River and is the largest cargo dock in Nanjiang, filled with various sizes and types of ships.
We hid in the reeds not far from the dock, swatting mosquitoes while keeping an eye on the area.
It wasn't until half past eleven that I saw a man who looked like a steward approaching with a group of thugs.
Mou Xiaoning whispered to me, "That steward is named Lu Ming. He is Lin Mautsai's chief steward and also his bodyguard. That group of people are all Lin Mautsai's bodyguards."
At that moment, a cargo ship docked in front of us. Lu Ming led his men onto the ship, and before long, they began unloading boxes from the ship and loading them onto a cart.
I signaled to Mou Xiaoning, and we charged out.
Lu Ming clearly did not expect an ambush.
He stared at me for a moment, then smiled and said, "Brother, we are all people of the underworld; according to the rules..."
Before Lu Ming could finish his sentence, I interrupted him. "We are from the Secret Intelligence Bureau. We are not here to rob you today; we are just doing our routine checks. You can leave the goods behind for us to inspect."
The smile on Lu Ming's face froze. He stared at me and said slowly, "Sir, our Lin Yuanwai has a good relationship with your Lord Feng. What you are doing today may not be appropriate."
I smiled back. "I have never met your Lin Yuanwai and have no relationship with him. All I know is that someone is colluding with traitors with the intent to rebel. I am here to apprehend the traitors!"
Lu Ming was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Sir, you must be mistaken. Our Lin Yuanwai is loyal to the Emperor; how could he possibly collude with traitors?"
Saying this, Lu Ming waved his hand, and a thug came over carrying a tray.
Lu Ming lifted the red cloth on top, revealing two rows of gleaming gold bars on the tray.
With a smile, Lu Ming said, "My lord, I have two hundred taels of gold here. You and your brother can each take one hundred taels. You've worked hard; take it and enjoy some tea!"
I took the gold bars, weighed them in my hand, then walked up to Lu Ming and placed the gold bars into his hand, whispering, "It's not easy for everyone; you should keep it for tea."
Lu Ming's expression changed. "My lord, what do you mean by this?"
I stared into Lu Ming's eyes and slowly said, "What I mean is that today I must inspect the cargo on this ship!"
Lu Ming stepped back and said fiercely, "My lord, you better think this through! Our Lin Yuanwai is not someone to be trifled with!"
I smiled slightly. "Are you trying to scare me? Let me tell you, others may fear your Lin Yuanwai, but I do not!"
Lu Ming waved his hand, and that group of bodyguards surrounded me in an instant.
I wasn't intimidated either; I waved my hand, and Yuan Bufei brought his men to surround that group of bodyguards as well.
In an instant, tensions were high.
Lu Ming stared at me, his eyes darting around.
I know what he is pondering.
I am waiting for him to make a decision, so I haven't spoken.
But I know that Lu Ming will eventually compromise.
Sure enough, Lu Ming had someone open the box.
I exchanged glances with Yuan Bufei, and he led his team to inspect it.
Lu Ming stood beside me and smiled, saying, "My lord, we are all on the same side. You causing such a scene today is putting me in a difficult position, isn't it?"
I smiled but remained silent.
Yuan Bufei and his team inspected for quite a while but found nothing.
He waved at me and said, "My lord, everything is fine."
