The long sea journey had almost worn out Lin Ge's patience. Finally, he heard Xu Yun say, "We're here."
The night on the ocean was not as bright as the lights in the city. Not far away, a small yacht flashed rhythmically with a strong light. Xu Yun knew that this was a signal. According to Yi Wenyang's instructions, Xu Yun took out a strong flashlight and pointed it at the small yacht not far away. Three short and one long, two short and two long, gave a signal.
After the small yacht received the signal, it quickly approached Xu Yun's merchant ship.
"Get ready to work." Xu Yun asked Wen Xiao to bring the golden Buddha head and let Lin Ge be the first to get off the boat and board the yacht.
The people in charge of driving the merchant ship were arranged by Shen Jiang. The people on the ship were all police officers. Xu Yun quickly went to the captain's room and greeted everyone. "It's been hard on the road, but the next two days might be even harder. Hold on a little longer."
"Don't worry, Marshal Yun. We're fine." This title was given to Xu Yun by Brother Wang, who was in charge of driving the ship. He was a retired destroyer pilot from the Nanyang fleet. Because of some injuries, he was assigned to work in Shen Jiang's maritime police.
Because the merchant ship this time was too big, he had to go personally. Driving such a merchant ship was definitely a piece of cake for him. It was just that he hadn't been at sea for so long, so he wasn't used to it.
Some of the police officers who came to carry out the mission were also selected excellent officers. After all, Xu Yun and the others would need at least two days to complete the mission and return. It might even take longer. They had to wait for Xu Yun and the others to complete the mission.
Life at sea was shaky every day. Ordinary people really couldn't get used to it.
But in order to cooperate with Xu Yun and the others, these police officers went all out. They had to overcome any difficulties.
Soon, the small yacht approached the merchant ship. Lin Ge was the first to climb down the merchant ship's rope ladder and directly jumped onto the small yacht.
There were four people on the small yacht. Two of them immediately surrounded Lin Ge and did a simple body search. Lin Ge cooperated and raised his arms without any resistance.
Soon after, Wen Xiao boarded the small yacht with the golden Buddha head. The two people who had searched Lin Ge also came forward. Wen Xiao cautiously hugged the wooden box to his chest and looked at the two people with hostility. However, the two of them still searched Wen Xiao's body.
The last to disembark was Xu Yun. He did not wait for the man to search him before he called out, "Black Crow! They were all business partners, so there was no need to do such things. We don't even suspect that you're going to kill and rob us. Are you going to suspect that we're carrying weapons? "
"Hahaha …" A hearty laugh came from the boat. A man in his mid-thirties walked onto the small deck of the yacht. His long hair was tied into a small braid at the back of his head, and he was wearing a linen long-sleeved shirt. He looked quite artistic.
Xu Yun still insisted on not letting the two people search him. He stared at this artistic guy. It seemed that he was Black Crow. He did not look black at all.
Black Crow met Xu Yun's gaze and grinned, revealing his white teeth, "So, this must be Mr. Xu?"
"That's right." Xu Yun nodded, "Black Crow?"
"That's me." Black Crow said, "I didn't expect Mr. Xu to be so young and promising … I'm impressed."
As he spoke, Black Crow's gaze had already shifted to the wooden box in Wen Xiao's arms. His smile was still very friendly, "Mr. Xu, please don't mind me. As the saying goes, one should not have the heart to harm others, but one should always be vigilant. You came here to do business with experts … I can't help but be vigilant. "
"What's the point of searching him when you know he's an expert?" Xu Yun asked.
Black Crow was confused, "I don't know either. However, if I don't do this, I won't be confident at all. Mr. Xu has experts by your side, and my people have self-defense weapons. If we really get into an argument, I'm afraid that both sides will suffer. When everyone has their own concerns, cooperation might be safer. "
"That does make sense." Xu Yun smiled, "But we should be the ones to be vigilant. You're the middleman. If we hurt you, wouldn't we be asking for trouble? "
Black Crow nodded and smiled, "Mr. Xu's words really enlightened me. I really didn't think about these problems. It seems that I won't have to go through so much trouble in the future? Hahaha … Thank you for your advice. "
"You flatter me." Xu Yun shook his head and cut to the chase, "Have you contacted the buyer?"
Black Crow had a thought-provoking smile on his face, "Mr. Xu, aren't you being a little too direct? You don't have to worry about the buyer. They've already paid you half of the money. They should be the ones worrying. "
When Black Crow's gaze turned to the wooden box again, Xu Yun knew what he meant.
"You didn't think that I would come to you with an empty box, did you?" Wen Xiao frowned, "This is a deal between us and the buyer. You middlemen have no right to touch it."
Black Crow looked Wen Xiao up and down, "You're Wen Xiao, right? Mr. Yi admires you a lot … It seems that he paid you a high price to protect the Golden Buddha head, right?"
"Don't talk so much nonsense. The sooner the deal is done, the better. "Wen Xiao said.
Black Crow nodded, "That's right. The sooner the deal is done, the better. But as a middleman, before I bring you to meet the buyer, I have to make sure that the item you bring is what the buyer wants. If I can't see what's inside the wooden box, I won't set sail. "
Xu Yun narrowed his eyes, "You mean … this deal is off?"
"No, Mr. Xu." Black Crow said, "This is the first time you've come into contact with me, so you don't know my rules. You all know how trustworthy I am. My rules are to be responsible for both of you. I have to see the item with my own eyes and make sure that it's not fake before I bring you to meet the buyer. "
Xu Yun nodded and said, "Okay, that's indeed being responsible. But let me make it clear, you can only look at it. We have to keep it. Otherwise, I'll be worried that the story of a leopard cat swapping the crown prince will happen here. "
"You're joking, Mr. Xu. I don't have any leopard cats on this ship." Black Crow was actually looking forward to seeing the Golden Buddha head. He was quite interested in such a valuable item.
Wen Xiao and Xu Yun looked at each other before Wen Xiao opened the wooden box.
The moment the wooden box was opened, Xu Yun saw that Black Crow's eyes were shining. A treasure was a treasure. It could make these 'professionals' so shocked.
Black Crow didn't even need to touch it. With the lights on the ship, he was very sure that the color of the item was real and not fake. Even though the sea smell was heavy, he could smell the unique smell of the Golden Buddha head that had been buried underground for too long.
Wen Xiao closed the wooden box again, "How is it? Have you seen enough?"
Black Crow was slightly startled and came back to his senses. How could he have seen enough of this thing? He could even admire it for an entire night, "Hahaha, it's really the best."
"Something that can be sold at such a price must have its value." Xu Yun smiled, "Brother Black Crow, now that you've confirmed my item, shouldn't we set sail? We're taking a huge risk. "
Black Crow nodded, "Of course, we'll leave now. After we return to Dongying, I'll arrange for you to go to a safe place. After we've settled on the location with the buyer, you can do the transaction in person. Everything will end perfectly! "
