Chapter 4: The Enigma
At night, naturally, Jin Hu was alone in the empty house. He lay on the bed and contacted the warship. Hearing that everything was fine from No. 1, he couldn't think of anything else and closed his eyes, falling asleep soon after.
It was past ten in the morning, Duncan and Clyde had arrived at the training ground to start their boxing practice. Joey had also started fiddling with his computer. Evan sat alone in his office, hands clasped together in front of his chest, staring blankly at the board on the wall filled with photos as he contemplated his next business strategy. Only Jinhu was still lying in bed, covering his head and snoring loudly.
"This girl is really great!" Bernie said, holding onto the sandbag as Kim was punching it: "Soft on the body just like spaghetti! How's yours?"
"That's it! What else can you do?" Kim muttered, focusing on punching the sandbag.
Duncan, who was next to Kim, said: "Bernie has been bragging about that Asian chick all morning, ignore him." Then he turned to Bernie and said: "I had two last night"
Bernie looked at Duncan with disdain and said, "I've never tried a woman like that before. If you don't believe me, wait till I show you the tape I recorded, it feels like a snake wrapped around my body."
Jin Mu clenched his fists: "That woman actually dared to let you record it?"
Bernie nodded: "Wait until you have time to let you see, if it wasn't for this acquaintance, I would think about bringing her back home! ". Seeing that several people didn't quite believe him, Bernie continued: "I plan to spend a few more nights with her, God, I really can't bear to part with her!"
Kim and Duncan shook their heads at Bernie's antics and continued to punch the sandbag in front of them. Bernie lost interest in the two and ran over to Clyde's side, starting to boast again. Before he could even finish, he saw Jinhu sauntering down the stairs with a cigarette dangling from his mouth.
Bernie walked over to Jinhu with a sly smile on his face: "Brian! I slept extremely well last night".
Looking at Bern's face like a fox who stole an egg, Jin Hu asked: "If you want to say something, just say it, I'm listening."
Bernie leaned over to Jinhu's side and repeated what he had just said to the others. Jinhu listened, furrowed his brow, and thought for a moment. It wasn't because Jenny was a prostitute from their country; every country has prostitutes and loose women. There have been experiments where monkeys can use currency, so it's not like this is impossible, especially for someone who is already familiar with the concept of money.
What made Jinhu think twice was when Bernie described Eve, comparing her to the woman he had an affair with back home. Listening to Bernie's description, there was some truth to it - Eve was indeed crazy, but her body was still somewhat firm; when she wrapped her legs around his chest, she would push his body backward. Yu Qing didn't have this issue; her legs were just soft.
Of course, Jinhu wasn't interested in discussing this with Bernie; he thought it was a private matter.
"If you think it's good, stay a few more times." Jin Hu thought for a few seconds and said to Bernie, then walked to the side of the wall to a large refrigerator-like cabinet, took out a can of drink from inside and started drinking.
He slowly lit a cigarette and drank his beverage, watching as several people gathered around the table to start practicing. After a few minutes, Jin Hu raised his head to see the three women from last night walking out of the door on the upper floor.
These three women are still here, Jin Hu glanced at them and then turned his gaze back to the boxing ring.
There's a fight going on in the courtyard! Three women rushed down from the second floor, excitedly gathering around the table. The two people competing on the table were none other than Kim and Bernie, while Jenny and Mary cheered them on from below.
There were two sparring partners warming up downstairs, Kim and Bernie were already playing fancy on the stage. The sharp fist winds that were there before had disappeared, and the two people on the stage had turned into two 'clumsy' butterflies, their fists floating out. It was good to look at, but the taste was completely different. In less than a minute, Duncan and Clyde, who were originally watching from the side of the stage, went back to hit their own sandbags, leaving only three female beginners still shouting loudly on the sidelines, with a burst of spring feelings.
After finishing the drink, Jin Hu pinched the aluminum can in his hand and crushed it into a ball. He flicked it with two fingers towards the trash can about four or five meters away. The aluminum ball hit the swinging door of the trash can and landed accurately inside. Only then did Jin Hu get up to return to his room, watch TV or do something else while waiting for lunch.
As soon as she walked up to the ring, Jenny saw Jinhu and turned around to face him, saying: "Brian, you must know how to box too, your body muscles look good, follow Bernie and practice!" This sentence was said very loudly. Even Lautrenso, who was running the farthest away practicing boxing, heard it, and now everyone stopped their punching bags and looked at Bernie on the ring with a smile, waiting for Jinhu to nod over and watch Bernie get beaten up. With Jinhu's skills that could knock out Matt in one move, Bernie couldn't even last one round under Jinhu's hands.
Jin Hu listened and smiled, looking at Bernie's face which had turned a bit green on the table, saying: "I can't beat him!" Then he lifted his foot and headed towards the second floor.
"There are such stupid women in the world: 'Just follow and practice, it's just like Kim and Bernie' said Jennie to Jinhu's back."
Back in the house, I was bored and took out my dual knives. In the narrow living room, I started playing with them until sweat dripped from my forehead before finally putting them away.
Within a few days, Mary and Jenny became regulars here, basically staying overnight every night, and finally Duncan joined Bernie and Jenny's team to start a three-P life for several nights. If Kim wasn't uninterested in this activity, it might have developed into something big.
After almost a week, Evan gathered everyone for a meeting to prepare for the next target. The two women were finally kicked out.
Jintiger pushed open the door of the conference room and saw that Evan had not arrived yet. Duncan and Lautrenso's several heads were gathered together, looking at something, and from time to time a burst of lewd laughter came over.
He casually found a place to sit down, lit a cigarette, and Duncan handed a tablet to Jinhu. Jinhu took a look and it was a sandwich with Duncan on top, Bernice in the middle, and Jenny at the bottom. The Jenny in the middle was screaming wildly, just like the American movies he had seen before. The clarity was amazing! It could be released in the market without any problem. Jinhu glanced at it twice and said, "You two are really boring, stay away from me! What if you get sick?"
After finishing speaking, he returned the computer to Duncan. As for this person who was happy to walk through the back door, Jin Hu didn't know what to say anymore.
"Is everyone here?" Evan pushed open the door and walked in, glancing at the people on the sofa.
Jin Hu followed everyone else and stretched out his hand on top of his head, which was equivalent to waving hello to Evan.
Aidan took out a pair of chopsticks and walked over to the sofa, sat down, opened it up, and handed them out to the people sitting there.
Jin Hu took his own copy and looked at it. Apart from the two photos he had seen before, there were also several aerial shots of intersections.
"This time our goal is this warehouse, the information I got said that apart from a large amount of cash, there's also some No. 4 with a purity of up to 90% being packaged here. If we succeed this time, all the money will be ours, and for the No. 4, our client will give us one-third of the market price." Ivan looked around at the people surrounding him and said: "Does anyone have any opinions?"
"What's the exact weight? If it's too much, we're at a bit of a disadvantage," Laurence asked Evan.
"The customer estimates about one kilogram, if more, then add 0.5 at market price," Evan said to Lautrenso.
After hearing Evan's answer, Lautren nodded and indicated that he was fine now.
Evan looked around at everyone and said, "Since no one has any problems, let's talk about the specific task." First, he pointed to Joey and Lautrenso and said, "You and Joey go first, scout out the situation here, get familiar with the surroundings, and I'll think of a way to tap into the police communication frequency later."
Looking at Joey and Lautrenso, he nodded and turned to Bernie and Clyde: "Bernie and Clyde, you drive the car and take everyone's stuff over! Duncan and I will arrive in Miami first, Kim, you and Brian leave two days after we do."
Jin Hu nodded after hearing, finally there's something to do, although it's not robbing a bank, robbing a drug dealer is also pretty good, looking at this the business trip should be quite profitable.
Ivan pulled out a few more papers from the folder and handed them to everyone: "When you all went back, each of you stayed in these hotels. If anything happens, call by phone, remember to use code language, don't let those FBI flies stare at us." Then he looked at Jinhu and said: "Nolan, if you don't understand any code language, ask Kim."
Jin Hu nodded after listening, indicating he understood.
"Going to Miami for a drug deal?" Jin Hu looked around and said after Evan had arranged the task.
Bernie smiled at Jinhu: "We still have to hide in California, of course we can't find a gang in California to do it, other states are safer, and as long as we're fast, after getting our hands on it, we'll be gone, who knows, maybe even trigger a gang war over there, then we can just watch the excitement at home".
So with this explanation, Jin Hu understood that it was just a matter of the rabbit not eating the grass at the edge of its nest. However, Jin Hu's biggest question arose in his heart: Why did Evan have such detailed information about Miami's drug dealers in California? And how could he know almost everything on the rooftop? Listening to Bernie's explanation, it seemed that this was not the first time, and if it weren't for California, maybe they had even robbed five or six states. The power of Evan's so-called clients was also frightening.
As a newcomer, it's inappropriate to ask such questions, so Jin Hu had no choice but to bury this question in his heart, hoping that one day he would have the opportunity to unravel this mystery.
