Chapter 266: Going south can still lead to robbery
After two nights and two days, Wang Yuanchao and his party arrived at Pengcheng Railway Station in the evening.
The ticket from Yangcheng to Pengcheng, after arriving in Yangcheng, they asked Zheng Juan to cut in line. Zheng Juan was almost waiting for their train at the exit.
Zheng Juan was very clear about Wang Yuanchao's mission to arrange for her to go to Yangcheng, so after arriving at the railway guesthouse here, in addition to doing her job well, she tried hard to get along well with a girl who sold tickets.
What's more, they have letters of introduction, so they just need to cut in line, which makes the process much easier.
They still have seats!
It's just that time is tight, Wang Yuanchao doesn't have much time to chat with Zheng Juan. He will be back during the Spring Fair!
After Wang Yuanchao and his party arrived in Pengcheng, they first went to Bao'an County to settle down.
This group of people included old and young, with families, so the locals had no doubts about the letter of introduction, and would never have thought that they were from Rungang.
Because the people in Rungang are all middle-aged and young people, strong and healthy, so they can either cross mountains and rivers or cross the ocean.
After settling down, Wang Yuanchao left without even having dinner.
It was nearly 20 kilometers from Baoan County to Luohu Port. I found a young man with a bicycle and spent 5 yuan on it. It took an hour and a half!
In the last few hundred meters, the young man refused to get any closer, so he had to walk over.
With the Hong Kong identity card and the customs clearance documents issued by the authorities, I could enter the port directly in minutes.
After crossing the border, I took a taxi directly to the Eastern District Marine Police Station in Sha Tin.
Seeing that Wang Yuanchao was alone and it was late, the driver tried to blackmail him halfway. However, Wang Yuanchao simply took out a big black star and pressed it against the back of the driver's head, and also showed his plainclothes ID.
Thinking that this person came from the mainland, and considering the border conflict last year, the driver was terrified and begged for mercy:
"Sir, I have an old man..."
Wang Yuanchao was too lazy to listen to his noise, so he pointed his gun at him and said:
"I'm in a hurry!"
The driver was so scared that he didn't dare to say anything and just drove on the broken road in the New Territories like he was driving an AE86 in Akina Mountain.
The journey from Luohu Port to Shatin, a distance of more than 20 kilometers, took less than 10 minutes. If it weren't for the time wasted by the driver in front, it would have only taken minutes.
The driver was in tears. He could have earned some money from the fare, but now it was all in vain.
Wang Yuanchao pointed and parked the car in front of He Wenzhao's house because it was time to get off work.
"wait for me!"
The driver waited obediently at the door and didn't dare to run. The man had a gun and could find him at any time, so how could he disobey orders?
When they knocked on the door, the other party was having dinner. When they saw it was Wang Yuanchao, He Wenzhao and his wife were very happy:
"You're finally back! Have you eaten?"
Wang Yuanchao did not enter the door either, and said:
"Is it too late to go pick someone up today?"
He Wenzhao quickly handed Wang Yuanchao a cigarette and said:
"We have to make it in time. Don't worry, I'll lead the team myself. Two speedboats, filled with fuel, and oil drums, to ensure nothing goes wrong!"
There was no other way. Wang Yuanchao's industry and his wealth of tens of millions were the golden thigh of a small police chief like him! The money earned from smuggling and illegal immigration alone was barely enough to lead the team, how could it be enough to buy a house or a car?
Wang Yuanchao spit out a mouthful of satisfaction and said:
"Then let's get going early! We should be able to get it done today."
He Wenzhao said:
"I'll go get ready. Would you like to rest for a while or come directly to the police station with me?"
Wang Yuanchao said:
"Let's go to the police station!"
He Wenzhao's territory is in Dapeng Bay, on the east side, relatively remote, but close to Echeng.
Bao'an County, or the route that Wang Yuanchao swam along last time, is Pengcheng Bay, which is in the west.
It is adjacent to the Pearl River Estuary and close to Pengcheng. Even if the same business is done there, the profit can be more than that in the east.
He Wenzhao dreams of operating there.
This time, he will send two patrol speedboats to go around Victoria Harbour and pick up the people from the west.
The one-way trip is more than 100 kilometers. This small speedboat is more than enough for the one-way trip, but it is not enough for a round trip, so you have to bring a fuel barrel.
It's not a big deal if a Marine patrol boat crosses the border:
Most people would stay away from this thing, trying to avoid it as much as possible.
Insiders may be able to tell that the ships are not from their side, but it is difficult to encounter Mahakala. Secondly, if they encounter two ships on their side, they usually don’t dare to come up and ask questions - in the vast ocean, with ships destroyed and people killed, who wouldn’t be afraid?
If they were really evenly matched, they would talk nicely if they were easy to talk to, but would they fight if they were not? The Easterners had been to the front lines and had real weapons, and they didn't care about the Westerners who only knew how to show off in front of ordinary people!
Soon, the two speedboats, one after the other, rushed out of Sha Tin Bay like arrows.
The sea breeze blows on my face, feeling very refreshing.
After leaving Dapeng Bay, the closer you get to Victoria Harbour, the more brilliant the lights you see. Even though it’s not as beautiful as the coastline of decades later, it still makes people excited.
The journey was smooth and we arrived at Pengcheng Bay in just two and a half hours.
He Wenzhao had already sent people to find out the several illegal crossings here. But he still landed at a small pier in Yuen Long, New Territories, and picked up the gang members who were waiting there.
The society has some younger brothers working here, and they know the situation here very well, so they can make no mistakes even if they are in the dark.
Double insurance!
There can be no accidents in fulfilling the sponsor's request, otherwise it will make him look particularly incompetent. How can he survive in the future?
As the chief of the police station, he is also a prominent figure in the society. It is an honor for the younger brothers to ask for help. The underworld is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and mutual help.
Let’s send Wang Yuanchao to the other side first.
The sound of the waves could not cover up the sound of the motor which was too close, so when the boat was about two or three hundred meters away from the scheduled landing site, the motor stopped. The speedboat rushed forward for dozens of meters by inertia, and then everyone started paddling.
They could see the dark shore, so the two brothers took off all their clothes except their underpants and swam over to the sea to explore the way first.
When working for the big guys, they must show their value!
Wang Yuanchao sat on the small boat, swaying with the waves.
After a while, someone swam back and gently patted the boat. Everyone continued to follow that person and row forward.
The last ten or so meters, the younger brother took the guide rope and went ashore, and the two of them slowly pulled the boat over. One of the younger brothers had to carry Wang Yuanchao to prevent him from getting his shoes and socks wet.
Wang Yuanchao simply took off his shoes and socks, rolled up his trouser legs, and jumped down.
Asking someone to carry you on your back is too slow, and this is not the place to be so particular.
As soon as he left, everyone started paddling out again, about 20 to 30 meters away from the shore. They could approach quickly and leave quickly.
A group of people floated on the sea, eating, drinking and sleeping, waiting for the boss to return.
Wang Yuanchao got ashore and quickly changed into the clothes he wore in the mainland.
Before going ashore, his younger brother told him that this was landing site No. 3. He thought about the location No. 3 they had marked on the map before, which was probably the area of Dachan Bay and Qianhai in later generations, to the west of the county seat.
He immediately adjusted direction and ran quickly towards the guesthouse in the county town.
Location No. 3 is actually pretty good. It’s not all farmland, but at least there is a dirt road.
Even so, in the dark at night, Wang Yuanchao still walked for nearly forty minutes, a distance of about three or four kilometers.
Arrived at the guesthouse at 10:43.
Everyone is still awake.
How can I sleep?
Their group lived in an 8-person room, which was in line with their status.
Seeing Wang Yuanchao coming over, Ma Erqin asked him with concern:
"How is it? Is it difficult to get through?"
After all, not only Ma Erqin couldn't have imagined that Wang Yuanchao had already returned from Hong Kong.
Wang Yuanchao said:
"Pack your things and leave now. The boat is waiting outside."
Ma Erqin wanted to ask a few more questions, but thinking about the ability of his disciple, he quickly packed up his bag.
"These coats are no longer needed, don't bring them!"
When they set out from the capital, they were wrapped up like dumplings. The further south they went, the hotter it became. When they arrived in Guangdong Province, they took off all their jackets and were left with only a single layer of clothing and a sweater.
Ma Erqin said:
"Take it with you first and check it out when you get out. The sea is windy at night. And if you leave it here, won't it tell the hostel that we've run away?"
Zhao Zhaoqin said:
"Wouldn't it be more noticeable if we went out with our luggage?"
Indeed, if a group of people go out like this late at night, it is easy to attract attention.
Ma Erqin said:
"I'm old and confused now. I can't care about that anymore. Wear what you can wear and take away the rest with you in light items."
So the group prepared to leave the guesthouse in several waves.
As a result, the people at the guesthouse didn't even bother to check the door, and the man had already fallen asleep behind the counter.
Wang Yuanchao just came in!
Everyone turned around and picked up their luggage, quietly opened the door and left. When they were at the end, the front desk of the guesthouse finally reacted:
"Who?"
Wang Yuanchao responded:
"Master, I just came to see my grandpa! I have to go back first."
The receptionist was too lazy to get up and said:
"Then help me close the door!"
Turned over and continued to sleep.
The group of people were walking and walking, first looking for heavy things like cotton-padded jackets to be thrown away by the river, and then it became hot again, so they had to take off their thick coats and carry them with them as they walked.
Wang Yuanchao wanted to carry his master Ma Erqin on his back, but Ma Erqin refused and said:
"My legs and feet are very nimble. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to catch up with Xiao Zhao!"
Xiao Zhao is Zhao Zhaoqin, who is older than Wang Yuanchao’s father Wang Quan.
Wang Yuanchao said:
"It's dark and I can't see the road clearly. You know that old people's bones are fragile. If you break your leg, at your age..."
Ma Erqin had no way to refute, so he could only lie on Wang Yuanchao's back and said:
"Then you should be careful too. What's the difference between falling down and me falling down?"
Wang Yuanchao chuckled but said nothing. He had sharp ears and eyes, and the faint moonlight was enough for him to see clearly.
He can also remind everyone which sections of the road to pay attention to.
When they met patrolling militia on the road, the sharp-eyed Wang Yuanchao gave them a reminder, and everyone lay down behind the ridges on the side of the road and hid.
Fortunately, this is on the west side, not the southeast side of the Hong Kong River, so the patrol density is much lower.
The group rushed to the place where Wang Yuanchao landed in fear.
