Chapter 520 'Surprise' Arrives
The next afternoon.
A truck Driver drove to the North Side of Ds Area and stopped in front of a Barber Shop. He got out of the Car, looked around, and found the Main Gate was closed.
"Hey! Wayne! You Fellow not doing Business anymore?"
From the Second Floor, a stout Woman leaned out and shouted irritably, "Listen up, you bastard! We're done with it!"
The truck Driver wasn't intimidated and asked, looking up, "You guys wouldn't have found another way to make a fortune, right? Then where am I supposed to buy Things from now on?!"
"Yeah, we're going to strike it rich, you dead ghost! From now on, go buy your stuff wherever you want!" The Woman cursed and ducked back inside.
The truck Driver stood stunned in place for a while, turning back to the Car with reluctance.
On the rooftop opposite, five Robin huddled together, pecking at Rice Grain. One of them fluttered its Wings and flew away.
Soon after, Chi Feichei, at the Hotel, received another Email from 'Boston No. 4'.
Chi Feichei read the Email's description, feeling utterly Speechless.
Last night, Wayne-Walkerly had taken his men to drive the Truck back already, and then they'd spent half the night playing with the Guns, Decryptor, and other Things in the Car, getting high. The Group of People barely slept at all last night.
Today, the Truck was supposed to be delivered in the morning, but he considered that Those People might be sleeping, so he delayed the Time, hoping that Wayne would See the Truck and be reminded—
Look, you can Rob this Truck and use it to embezzle all the Loot and transfer Funds...
But it actually couldn't be delivered!
Not only did the other side not 'get any ideas upon seeing the Car,' but they were also blabbing everywhere about getting rich and quitting Business. He really suspected that in another day or two, These People would blurt out the Robbery Plan to everyone.
"Boss?"
"The Car wasn't delivered."
Chi Feichei sent an Email, asking Base No. 4 to confirm what Wayne and Those People were up to.
"Not delivered?" Yingqu Yan Nan was a little surprised.
Chi Feichei explained the general Situation to Yingqu Yan Nan. Of course, the source of this Intelligence was changed from Birds to an Informant skilled in Surveillance.
Yingqu Yan Nan listened to the Situation and was also Speechless for a moment. "Will they leak the Rumors ahead of time?"
"The Rumors have definitely leaked," Chi Feichei said.
Yingqu Yan Nan didn't know what to Say for a moment, scratching his Head and holding back for a while. "What exactly are they doing?"
"Don't Know," Chi Feichei said helplessly. "I'm having someone confirm."
Those Birds couldn't directly carry Mobile Phone when they Go Out, and taking a Mobile Phone out wasn't safe either. They needed to investigate the Situation, fly back to the Base, and then transmit the News to him. This process would take about 10 minutes, plus the Investigation Time, roughly 20 minutes in total.
If it were a Human, they'd have to secretly approach those Buildings, eavesdrop, confirm, and find a safe Place to transmit News. Human targets were bigger than Birds, and they needed to be more careful in their Actions. In the end, it would take at least 20 minutes for the News to get back.
Using Birds and using Humans took about the same Time, so there was no need to worry about Time Difference arousing Suspicion.
Yingqu Yan Nan deeply understood his Boss's Mood at this moment.
What was more frustrating than pig Teammate was that they still had to scheme around these pig Teammate.
Sometimes pig Teammate weren't so easy to scheme against. You thought they'd position themselves, position themselves, and then charge straight ahead, but they insisted on making a bizarre turn and not positioning themselves at all. You simply couldn't predict how they would attack...
After waiting for more than twenty minutes, Chi Feichei checked the new Email he received. "They're still reveling."
"Ah..." Yingqu Yan Nan said Expressionless, "So much Vitality."
Chi Feichei waited a while longer, then received a Phone Call from the truck Driver.
"Hello? I'm already out of Ds Area. That Wayne bastard seems to be striking it rich, and he doesn't want to do Business anymore!"
"Go again tomorrow morning. Remember to drive a Car for cover. The Places entering the city have been checking very strictly recently."
"Buddy, no need to be so fixated on Wayne. How about trying other Places?"
"No, I heard the Things there are the best. Go again tomorrow morning."
Chi Feichei finished speaking in an unquestionable tone and hung up the Phone Call.
That truck Driver was a Drug Addict and an acquaintance of Wayne. He had just found an Outer Member to contact him, offering to pay the other party to Help carry Things and promising a Reward. The truck Driver had agreed very decisively.
However, he still felt it wasn't necessary to go to so much trouble. If he had found an Outer Member to pretend to be introduced by Wayne's acquaintance, Those People probably wouldn't have Suspicion.
Never Mind, it was still necessary to maintain a careful and cautious Style, and not be corrupted by These People...
...
Ds Area.
Wayne-Walkerly and the others were still reveling. They slept when they were tired of partying, and continued to get high when they woke up, as if they had inexhaustible Strength. However, what made them extremely annoyed was that some Fellow kept disturbing them.
In the chaos where they couldn't distinguish between day and Night, they only remembered that the Fellow had come three times, each time wanting to buy Things.
The last time, he had even attracted the Fellows from the East Side District.
"Wayne, I heard you're going to make a fortune?" A Group of People surrounded the Building where the Barber Shop was, and a Man at the front shouted.
"Don't forget to include us if there's anything good!"
"There's nothing good, you Fool!" A Man standing Upstairs cursed.
Then, Wayne and his Group of People discussed it and decided that the truck Driver who came to buy Things might be the Problem.
These People didn't even consider that they had been partying day and Night with Music playing, and they had shouted so loudly before. It would be strange if other Street District didn't know there was a Problem on their side.
They also unanimously concluded:
Right, it must be that the truck Driver couldn't buy Things and ran to the East Side District to complain!
What? Why would that Driver complain?
Probably because he couldn't stand to See them doing well.
No, no, that wasn't important. What was important was that Those People in the East Side District were planning to surround them and force them to hand over their Money-making Method.
Could they hand over a Money Cooperation of this scale?
Those People in the East Side District were simply dreaming!
They had Guns in hand, what were they afraid of?
So, Wayne and Those People directly chose to confront them head-on, rushing downstairs with Guns and opening fire...
...
Club behind the Wilbur Theater in Boston.
Korn and Stout set up Guns on a nearby Building to keep watch. They occasionally exchanged a few Words, mostly Stout chatting idly while Korn remained his usual taciturn self.
A little after 9 PM, a burly Man with Sunglasses and a full beard pulled a large Suitcase out of the Club, walked to a hidden Alley nearby, and got into a Car parked in a Blind Spot from all directions.
"Raki, Transaction completed."
"Check the Things."
Chi Feichei drove the Car away from the spot, took out his Mobile Phone with his left Hand, and started to Call and send Email.
This morning, Rum had sent Intelligence: the FBI who had been going in and out of Spencer's Home had left.
It seemed they really had come to retrieve the Case File of a previous murder case.
In that case, the Transaction with Spencer could continue.
The Transaction Process went smoothly. After that, he would gradually arrange for Personnel to evacuate.
Have the Outer Member observing the Situation at various Intersections evacuate.
Have Stout and Korn, who were keeping watch, evacuate.
Let Saki Midorikawa in the Club evacuate based on the Situation herself. It was also fine if she wanted to stay inside and play for a while.
Yingqu Yan Nan was responsible for checking if the Money was real, if there were Bugs and Transmitters in the Box, and also for confirming if there were any Problems with the Incriminating Material obtained from Spencer.
"Spencer's out? Okay, I got it. Evacuate based on the Situation, don't follow him." Chi Feichei said to Saki Midorikawa and hung up the Phone Call.
"The Things are fine." Yingqu Yan Nan also finished checking and picked up a Photo. "Paul Adams. Looking at the Materials Spencer collected, this Fellow has done a lot of Bad Deeds."
Chi Feichei glanced at it, withdrew his Line of Sight, and continued driving the Car, giving an Email Address. "Take Photos of all the Documents, transmit them to Rum and this Email, log in to the Organization Database with your Account, make a Backup, and share it with me and Rum."
"Understand!" Yingqu Yan Nan immediately started taking Photos.
Chi Feichei drove the Car again, deposited the Cash at the designated Location, and sent the Key to the Ceiling of another Bungalow, cleaned up his Trace, and Go Out.
Yingqu Yan Nan had also almost finished transmitting and backing up the Documents.
Chi Feichei switched with Yingqu Yan Nan to drive. After getting back in the Car, he checked the Emails from this period.
Korn safely evacuated...
Stout safely evacuated...
Saki Midorikawa and other Member safely evacuated...
Also, in Ds District, Wayne and Those People had started fighting with people...
"Buzz—"
Yingqu Yan Nan took out the Mobile Phone he had kept, which was Loot from Ds Area. "Wayne's Phone Call."
"Answer it."
Chi Feichei kept looking down at his Mobile Phone.
Send Email, send Email...
Yingqu Yan Nan answered the Phone Call and turned on the Speakerphone.
"Hello... Buddy? We ran into a little Trouble, but it's okay..."
The battle on Wayne-Walkerly's side was over, and they specially sent them a 'Victory Report'—only three people sacrificed, five seriously injured, and others were slightly injured to varying degrees, and they had taken care of twenty-one people on the other side.
Of course, there were also a pile of Bullets.
Chi Feichei couldn't even send Emails anymore, and reminded in a Cold voice, "Wayne, the Action is tomorrow."
"Of course, we'll be more careful next, leave the Residence first, and won't delay tomorrow's Action. Everything will go smoothly tomorrow, Don't Worry, Buddy!" Wayne-Walkerly vowed confidently.
This feeling of setting a Flag...
Chi Feichei suppressed the Speechless feeling in his heart. "Hopefully."
Yingqu Yan Nan saw Chi Feichei nod and hung up the Phone Call.
Chi Feichei continued to look at the Emails on his Mobile Phone.
Those People plus Wayne, there were 12 people in total. Before the Action even started, 3 had died and 5 were seriously injured...
Only 4 with full Combat Power remaining.
This was truly a 'Surprise'. Tomorrow, after Wayne and Those People's Action was over, he was afraid they wouldn't be able to muster any Counterattack force. One or two Member with good Gun skills could handle them.
But this 'Surprise' was a bit too big, making him doubt whether These People could survive until they were fully utilized.
Also, according to the News from Crow, the truck Driver he had arranged to go there had innocently died in the armed fight.
That Area was so chaotic that the Police didn't even bother to manage it. No one even Report to Police, and the Police simply wouldn't go...
Okay, that wasn't the Point. The Point was that after that Driver died, Wayne seemed to have realized... another Truck would be more convenient for them to swallow all the Looted Money.
Finally, the Truck driven by that Driver had been 'taken'.
Yingqu Yan Nan was silent for a good while. "Raki, can they pull it off tomorrow?"
"Don't Know," Chi Feichei said, indicating he had nothing to Say.
Actually, if Fulante Wine wanted revenge, it seemed that just throwing a batch of Guns to Those People and releasing some fake News that would excite them would be enough. Those People would court death themselves.
However, Fulante Wine was probably worried about causing Troublesome for the Organization, so she didn't dare to take Action.
No matter how Core Member caused Matter usually, The Boss didn't care, but there was one Bottom line—if a private Action caused big Troublesome for the Organization, you were dead!
There were different Bottom line for different Member. It wasn't necessarily death, but there would be some Punishment.
And his Arrangement this time was considered to be making Money for the Organization, not a private Action. In addition, there were enough Personnel, and the follow-up could be handled well. Even if the Money-making failed in the end, it wouldn't cause Troublesome for the Organization.
The reason Fulante Wine had approached him before was probably just to find someone to be a Helper, to avoid being exhausted and revealing an Opening. It really wasn't because These People were so difficult to Handle...
