Zuo Lin's agreement to assist Cheng Chi in this operation gave Cheng Chi great confidence, but he didn't know that Xie Dunyan was preparing to attack Zuo Lin at this time, let alone that the weapons and equipment that Xie Dunyan had ordered from an old relationship were actually ordered through him and through Zeus Express. [Latest chapter reading.]
Xie ordered a Remington sniper rifle, two pistols, two tactical daggers and some ammunition. Almost every moment in the world, such things flow into the hands of all kinds of people through Zeus Express or other channels, and no one takes these things too seriously. Xie Dunyan's old friend was indeed a smuggler, but after a few years, he has gone from being a smuggler to a middleman. Many friends asked him to order things, and he got them through Zeus Express and all other channels, which was less difficult, but the scope of the business was much broader, and his days seemed to be much more relaxed than before. And what Xie Dunyan needed, because the model was relatively unpopular, he also contacted Cheng Chi to purchase. Perhaps, this actual thing is just such a coincidence.
It took Cheng Chi a few days to find out where the artifacts were stored as they passed through Shanghai, and finally learned through a few insiders that the items would be stored in a warehouse on the maintenance floor of an office building in the center of the city. Although it may seem unsafe to come and go in the city center, in fact, it prevents anyone from wanting to rob openly. No one dares to make trouble in the core area of Shanghai, and even if they succeed, they will attract the attention of relevant government departments. However, because of the intricate pipes, the technical layer provides a lot of places for personnel to move, but the flexibility of setting up monitors is very large, as long as various garrison measures are implemented, it is actually quite safe. It is even more convenient once the route of transporting these things from Shanghai is confirmed. Due to the fact that there are countless vehicles coming in and out of Shuyulou in a day, they can actually be evacuated unconsciously, and a group of people each carry a part of the things, scatter and ride in various vehicles, and pack those cultural relics in boxes such as printers, sandwiched in the packaging of office supplies and consumables, it is very likely that everyone has gone one after another, and the people who covet this batch of things have not yet found out. Along the way, they have used this method to get rid of quite a few people.
But Zeus Express's original business scope and smuggling are closely related to this method of quietly transporting goods, and these skills of collecting and concealing and transferring things are a bit pediatric for Cheng Chi. Cheng Chi and one of his men, disguised as workers repairing the building's internal fire sprinkler system, walked through the building's maintenance floor. At least on the surface, the defense is quite tight. In order to preserve the artifacts, there are 12 separate rooms on the maintenance floor, divided into groups of 6. The small warehouse was originally just a relatively large utility room. On one side of the room is a high-power room, and on the other side is the former security lounge on duty. The three rooms behind are the weak current room, the electrical spare parts room and the maintenance data room. Now, in addition to the warehouse, the original security rest room and data room are also occupied by the smuggling gang.
And their means of defense are indeed very careful. Surveillance cameras are installed at several entrances to and from the maintenance floor, and there are many cameras placed inconspicuously in the gaps of various pipes throughout the floor. There are also laser and infrared, bioenergetic alarm devices. Although the items have not yet arrived, the preparations have been fully done.
The guy who protects those cultural relics looks very good, especially one of them, although he doesn't have special abilities, but judging from his slightly puzzled demeanor when he looks left and right, staring at Cheng Chi and Cheng Chi's subordinates, he should be at least on the verge of the awakening of special abilities, and he really can't be ignored.
After knowing the location and the general layout of the floor, Cheng Chi planned a plan to go deep into the tiger's den with Zuo Lin and get things without him knowing. After one attempt, he became more and more fascinated by the approach. Originally, when Headquarters had to mobilize their local agents to come forward directly to obtain something, there were often limited means at hand. Simply stealing is too demanding for all kinds of conditions, especially for some well-protected things, it is difficult to get hold of them, and if you rob it, the movement caused is too great, and it is easy to attract the suppression of various power groups. And with Zuo Lin, it is between stealing and robbing, as long as you can find an opportunity and find a suitable entry point. There is much more flexibility in terms of the timing of action and the formulation of programmes.
After the gang set up the place where the artifacts were stored, they focused all their attention on the upcoming batch of things. One morning, an Iveco sprayed with the logo of a courier company drove into downtown Shanghai, carrying two cardboard boxes that looked like two color laser printers for office use, but in fact, the large boxes contained cultural relics that had become the focus of attention.
The men who were transporting the boxes were pale, not just because they were several hours late for their scheduled trip, and because they had actually run into a traffic jam when they entered the city center. As they drove on the outskirts of the city, they found themselves being watched. An inconspicuous Volkswagen followed them for dozens of kilometers, and it was not until they entered the city that they barely got rid of each other. However, due to the fact that the driving action was a bit big, they were actually stopped by the police again to check it, and almost exposed this batch of cultural relics. And after entering the city, they now have no bottom in their hearts, whether they are still being followed. There are cars everywhere, people everywhere, and the area where the office building is concentrated is the focus of the flow of people and traffic from the office, and every car behind it is likely to follow itself.
They weren't mistaken, and there were people following them. This group of people is precisely the first discoverer of this batch of cultural relics, the small gang that makes tomb robbery and reselling as a business. Although they were intercepted by this smuggling group called the "Zijin Gang" and sent away for a mere 2 million, this batch of things was so tempting that they couldn't help but think about it a few times and find a way to make enough money on this batch of things. The tomb robber gang found an old-timer on the road, contacted a guy with some power to come forward, organized a relatively strong temporary team, and was trying to get this batch of cultural relics back. Due to the negotiation of profit sharing in the middle, it took a lot of time to prepare personnel, vehicles, funds and equipment, and it was only at this time that they had just caught up with the Zijin Gang, which was already fully prepared.
When they saw the Zijin Gang's car transporting cultural relics driving into the office building, several people got out of the car and divided up to prepare.
When more and more people were putting their energy into these black and black cultural relics, wanting to mix them in, Xie Dunyan began to be a little depressed. He felt that it was a mistake to ambush Zuo Lin here in Zuo Lin's house. He miscalculated the amount of time that professional players need to spend in the club now, and for the past few days, Zuo Lin has not returned to the house on Julu Road, and now there are only a few girls living in the house. When Xie Dunyan realized that it might not be a good idea to sneak in and snipe, he began to follow Zuo Lin loosely, looking for patterns in his actions and choosing opportunities for close assassination.
For Xie Dunyan, Zuo Lin is clearly not an exemplary target, and his movements have little regularity other than the fact that he has been living at the club recently. In these days, he has run through vegetable planting bases, some companies and office buildings, many cafes and bars, and several law firms. It's only before and after the tournament that the timing is very well organized, but usually there are a lot of people around, especially a lot of journalists, and it's not easy to start.
So, Xie Dunyan let out a faint divine thought to follow Zuo Lin, and he could pretend to be indifferent and do all kinds of irrelevant things. So, Xie Dunyan inevitably saw Cheng Chi, a guy he had a relationship with when he picked up the goods. It was a little strange, but it wasn't enough to make him nervous. However, when he found out that Zuo Lin and Cheng Chi were meeting frequently together and planning something, his curiosity finally exploded. When Xie Dunyan promised to get rid of Zuo Lin for Tang Rank, he had already obtained his senior brother's relics, in fact, now he didn't have any pressure at all, he could choose the time he thought was appropriate to do it. Although Tang Zhi calls two or three times a day to urge, this kind of behavior is more stupid, but turning off the mobile phone does not hinder anything.
Cheng Chi's plan made Zuo Lin very satisfied, basically did not delay his competition and training, and since the time required was very short, and there was almost no chance of meeting others on the spot when he was well prepared, he readily agreed. But when he came to a company in the office building to meet with Cheng Chi on Monday morning after another round of league play, he didn't know why, but he actually had a faint sense of unease. The prophetic characteristics of the ancient druids are not reflected in any way in the modern druids, but it is undeniable that the subtle premonitions of the druids, who are more sensitive than animals, are often accurate. Zuo Lin couldn't think of where there would be danger, so he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, there aren't many things that can threaten him right now.
"Ready?" asked Cheng Chi, after investigating the situation, he didn't even call one of his subordinates when he officially took action. He and Zuo Lin cooperated enough, and the target was relatively small.
After checking his outfit in the conference room of that "company" and checking what he was carrying, Zuo Lin nodded and said, "Okay." ”
"It's still the old rule, except for what I want, everything else belongs to you. Cheng Chi said happily.
"Don't you think you're at a loss?" Zuo Lin didn't have any idea of how much the cultural relics were worth.
Cheng Chi said: "Let's go, don't think I'm going to suffer." Even if I take something myself, I have to find a way to make a move, and this time is better than to do a few more tasks, and I have money and the company's job evaluation rewards. Besides, I'll get a pretty good amount of money for this mission, at least at face value. ”
Cheng Chi led Zuo Lin, and two people in gray overalls came to the maintenance passage on the floor. After skillfully opening the elevator maintenance passage, he generously said, "You please first." ”
