Chapter 667: Chapter 667 Smuggling
No matter if it was a plane or a ship, using conventional methods to enter Fusang would definitely catch the attention of the Fusang People, so the only way to enter Fusang without being noticed was to smuggle oneself in.
Ling Feng disguised himself as a destitute aristocrat and, through the connections of Flame Hall, got in touch with a smuggler.
When night fell, Ling Feng was taken by a blonde member of Flame Hall to a small port.
The sea breeze howled, carrying a hint of the oceanâs saltiness.
"Is this the Lin Feng you spoke of?" At that moment, a burly man jumped off a small boat, eyeing Ling Feng warily, "What does he do? Why does he need to smuggle himself into Fusang?"
"Third Brother, donât you trust me?" the member from Flame Hall said with a grin, "I guarantee there wonât be any problems!"
The burly man snorted coldly: "You donât know, but recently Fusang has been very strict. Many stowaways have been caught and thrown into the sea. During such times, I naturally have to be more cautious!"
The blonde man replied cheerily, "Third Brother, what kind of relationship do we have? Would I deceive you? This guy named Lin Feng recently offended some people he shouldnât have, and his whole family got wiped out in one night. This guy was messing around in a nightclub and barely escaped with his life. He canât stay in Huaxia anymore, so he wants to lay low in Fusang."
Third Brother eyed Ling Feng suspiciously. Ling Feng put on a fearful and uneasy demeanor.
"Though we grew up together, this business is really not easy to run!" After thinking for a bit, Third Brother shook his head, "The risk is too high. In our line of work, safety comes first!"
The blonde man became anxious, "Third Brother, this is a big deal weâre talking about. Once we pull this off, we..."
At that moment, Ling Feng shouted at the top of his lungs, "Blonde, youâve already taken 500,000 from me. If I canât make it, Iâm done for! If Iâm done for, you wonât get the remaining one million!"
"150,000 in total?" Desire flashed across Third Brotherâs face. The thought of money leading to oneâs demise was evident; 1.5 million was tempting enough to sway him!
Third Brother glanced at the blonde man sideways. "So thatâs why youâve been so eager. You already pocketed 500,000... tsk, tsk, tsk. But youâve only quoted us 100,000; thatâs hardly fair!"
The blonde man said with a joking smile, "Third Brother is rich beyond measure. Would you even care about my humble expenses? Donât be mad, bro. How about we split the 1.5 million fifty-fifty when the time comes?"
After pondering, Third Brother said, "No way, itâs very strict over in Fusang right now. Unless..."
At this point, greed flickered in Third Brotherâs eyes, "Unless I take a million, otherwise, itâs not worth doing the deal."
Pain crossed the blonde manâs face, he gritted his teeth and said, "All right then, letâs do as you said. A million it is."
"Deal!" Satisfaction shown in Third Brotherâs eyes. He knew dealing with Fusang was tough, but everyone has their ways, and being a seasoned smuggler, Third Brother certainly had his networks.
"So, can I go now?" Ling Feng, delighted with the conclusion, asked eagerly.
Third Brother scoffed, "How could it be that easy? I need to contact our guy over in Fusang first. Just wait, weâll set off once Iâve made contact."
Ling Feng asked timidly, "How long will that take? Hurry, please. Those after me will find me soon."
Seeing the helpless look on Ling Fengâs face, Third Brother disdainfully said, "Donât worry, weâll head out in two hours. If youâre scared, just wait here!"
With that, Third Brother turned and climbed back into the boat.
Once Third Brother was back on the boat, the blonde man whispered, "Mr. Ling, please bear with it for a while..."
Ling Feng silenced Huang Mao with a look and whispered, "Donât blow our cover, Iâm just a desperate young man now!"
About an hour later, the sound of a car horn came from a distance, and Ling Feng exclaimed, "Weâre done for, theyâve caught up with us!"
At that moment, Third Brother emerged and said disdainfully, "What are you yelling about, theyâre my people!"
đđŁđđČđ°đđđ§đ đ§đđ.đđđș
The car approached unsteadily, and a bare-chested man jumped down from it. Seeing Third Brother, he smiled and said, "Third Brother, didnât you say you wanted to rest for a while because Fusang was under martial law recently? Why are you back at it?"
"Damn it, what would we eat or drink if we didnât work!" Third Brother cursed jokingly, "You know as well as I do that those Fusang people are damn vampires. Has the shipment arrived?"
"There are nine people in total!" the young man slapped the car door, "Everyone get down from there, and get ready, weâre setting off soon!"
At that moment, nine people gradually stepped out of the vehicleâs cabin, among them a mother and her daughter, and the rest were men. What they all had in common was the look of sorrow and anxiety on their faces.
If they werenât at their witâs end, who would leave their homeland to stow away to Fusang?
Third Brother glanced at the ten individuals and said, "Letâs go, get on board, weâre setting sail soon!"
Only then did Ling Feng understand, this was originally meant to catch a rabbit by startling the bushes. Whether it was transporting one person or ten, why not carry more and make more money?
Ling Feng was somewhat speechless, but he had no choice but to follow Third Brother and board the ship.
Suddenly behind Ling Feng, a ruckus erupted, and a burly man on board stopped the mother and daughter, saying coldly, "You can board, but you have to dump those ratty things!"
The burly man was referring to two large bundles carried by the mother and daughter.
"No way!" The mother and daughter, filthy all over, clutched the bundles and said, "If we throw these away, even if we make it to Fusang, we wonât be able to survive! We canât throw them!"
Third Brother frowned and said, "Tiezhu, let it go, donât waste time. We have fewer people this time, just let them bring it along!"
"Hmph!" Tiezhu gave the mother and daughter a stern look, then turned and walked into the shipâs cabin.
Including Ling Feng, ten people boarded the ship. Third Brother waved his hand, and the small boat left the dock, heading towards the open sea.
Ling Feng and the others were arranged in the bottom of the shipâs cabin, which was not only dark and damp but also engulfed in a disgusting smell, just like the smell of spoiled food.
After entering, the other people couldnât help but cover their mouths, and two of them couldnât stand the smell and started vomiting immediately.
"Fuck, who told you to vomit!" The man named Tiezhu stepped forward and kicked down the two vomiting men, "Damn it, whoever vomits cleans it up, got it?"
The two men clutched their stomachs, writhing in pain on the floor, and one of them shouted angrily, "What are you doing, I paid, you..."
With a smack, Tiezhu slapped the man across the face, knocking him to the ground, and two teeth, bloodied, flew out of his mouth.
"Any more objections?" Tiezhu cracked his neck, making a clicking sound.
All the people involuntarily shrank back, "No... none!"
"Remember your place, youâre stowaways!" Tiezhu said scornfully, "You think youâre lords? Let me tell you the truth, people like you, once abroad, are worth less than a dog in the eyes of the locals! Got it?"
