1773 Theres a Problem with the Goods

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation | Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Luo Qi and Zhou Liang both s.h.i.+vered.

He was extremely glad that he lived in Huaxia where no one dared to say such things.

However, in such a capitalistic country, money represented everything.

Mahra looked at Lin Yi with fear in his eyes.

Thats why I said, dont be too impulsive. You have to think about yourself more.

As he spoke, Lin Yi took out a hundred dollars from his pocket and placed it in Mahras hand.

Thankyou, Mr. Lin.

They watched as Lin Yi settled the matter with a hundred dollars.

Luo Qi and Zhou Liang suddenly felt that this was a sick country.

Whether it was human life or societal righteousness, it all bowed to money.

As long as there was money, they could dictate terms to you, and you had to meet them with a smile, grateful for the wonderful life theyve provided. Take us to see the goods. If there are no issues, I will pursue this matter thoroughly.

Youll need to discuss this with the leaders.h.i.+p. Were just employees here; we cant take responsibility for too much.

Lin Yi smiled and nodded. He didnt make things difficult for him and asked as he walked.

Has this ever happened before?

Of course. And every year there are a lot of people trying to smuggle in something illegal in this way.

But youre only the management of the ca.n.a.l. If a merchant s.h.i.+p pa.s.ses through here, you dont have the right to do such a thing, right? Youre right, but we can make a profit this way, Mahra said.

When someone reports it, we bring the merchant s.h.i.+ps here for inspection.

Then, merchants pay our fees. For us, this is a sizeable income.

Lin Yi and the others nodded subconsciously. They finally understood the reason. It was a gray industrial chain that couldnt be easily exposed.

But 1 really want to know who reported us.

Mahra shrugged. We dont know about that. We only did it because we got a tip.

So, if we find out that theres nothing wrong with our goods, we wont compensate you while you also wont give us any explanation either, right? Yes, thats our right under the Maritime Transportation Act.

Lin Yi felt a pang of emotion; it was indeed a lucrative business without initial capital.

Many of the worlds cargo s.h.i.+ps had to pa.s.s through this place, giving them a position of power, as merchants truly had no other choice.

At that moment, Chen Qingfeng interjected,

tor the past decade, our country has been developing a global railway network precisely to break such patterns and monopolies.

Lin Yi nodded. He had heard some things about this from Liang Ruoxu. More than 90 percent of global trade was concentrated in maritime s.h.i.+pping. The overlord of the sea was Meiguo. They firmly controlled the resources in this area. If Huaxia wanted to get involved and break through the current power structure, it would be more difficult than ascending to the heavens. Therefore, they had to start setting up the railway transport system as soon as possible.

Although transport costs would increase, transport time would be reduced by two thirds, thereby greatly boosting the speed of world trade and serving as a powerful tool for breaking the pattern of world trade.

A few minutes later, the group arrived at the dock.

Seeing the cargo s.h.i.+p of the Lingyun Group, it was like a steel behemoth lying quietly on the mountain road.

That indescribable shock could only be experienced personally when one saw it in person.

Mr. Lin, this is the relevant doc.u.ment. Take a look. If theres no problem, sign

Were going to start checking the goods.

Taking the doc.u.ment from Mahra, Lin Yi inspected it carefully.

There was nothing wrong with the content, but if they really found contraband, the officials would have to confiscate it and he would have to pay an astronomical fine.

To Lin Yi, this was nothing.

From another perspective, if they were the ones who drafted the contract, the content might be even more ruthless than this.

After reading the content, Lin Yi signed his name and the inspection officially began.

The four of them stood aside and saw something that looked like an arch. The arch slowly moved to the side of the s.h.i.+p and prepared to start scanning and checking the cargo on the s.h.i.+p.

However, it was relatively slow. It could only move a few meters a minute.

When checking such a huge cargo s.h.i.+p, Lin Yi estimated that it would take at least an hour to check everything.

Standing at the side, Zhou Liang lit a cigarette.

learn Leader, did Lingyun Group offend someone? Is that why they played such a small trick?

I cant rule out that possibility, but I cant think of who it is for the time being.

That was what he said, but in Lin Yis heart, he had a suspect.

These goods were stolen from the w.a.n.g family. Coupled with the fact that he had crippled w.a.n.g Mians legs, the hatred between the two sides could be said to be boundless.

In the entire country, only the w.a.n.g family had the motive to do such a thing.

However, he could not figure out why the w.a.n.g family was doing this.

Was it just to waste his time and money to annoy him?

With the w.a.n.g Familys magnanimity and pride, even if they went downhill now, they wouldnt do such a thing, because it was too degrading.

Furthermore, it would not achieve their goal of taking revenge on him.

There was no point in doing this.

In addition, Lu Beichen and the Liang family were observing the w.a.n.g familys movements in Yanjing. They didnt dare to do anything, which is also why Lin Yi didnt continue to target them.

However, other than the w.a.n.g family, he really couldnt think of another suspect.

Then well see how it goes. Anyway, this is the last hurdle. When its done, we can get this s.h.i.+pment back to the country.

Lin Yi nodded. He agreed with this. After this matter was resolved, he would have time to investigate the people foreigners coming in. He had to take things one step at a time.

Ring ring ring!

Just as they were waiting, Lin Yis phone rang. It was Yu Siying.

Flows the situation on your side?

After leaving the restaurant, we followed the information provided by the Central Guards Brigade and immediately arrived at the two airports in Panem City. Then, we locked onto two groups of people and realized that they were all heading in the direction of the Ca.n.a.l Authority.

They coming to see the Ca.n.a.l Authority?

Thats our rough guess. Were not sure exactly where theyre headed, so well need to continue tracking them.

Alright, keep a close eye on them to avoid any mistakes, Lin Yi said seriously. But be sure to prioritize your safety. The mission can be aborted at any time. I dont want any accidents to happen to you.

Got it, Team Leader.

Beep, beep, beep!

Before Lin Yi could hang up, he suddenly heard the sound of a police siren.

He suddenly looked up and saw that the alarm light on the arched door had lit up, and the sound was coming from above!
