1774 The Truth Revealed

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation | Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Everyone’s eyes were focused on the cargo ship. The sudden alarm caught them by surprise.

A person’s inspection might go wrong, but the possibility of a machine making a mistake was low.

“F*ck, what the f*ck is going on? Is there something wrong with the machine?” Zhou Liang cursed.

“Don’t panic. Let’s go up and check it out.”

Everyone hurried over. At the same time, Mahra joined them.

“What’s going on? Why did the machine alert the police?” Luo Qi asked.

“This means that there’s something wrong with your goods. We need to conduct a detailed inspection. Please wait patiently for the final result.”

After responding, Mahra quickly ran away and called two more people over.

They held handheld detectors and began to examine the goods meticulously.

In the end, he locked onto a blue container.

“Dispatch, bring this container down!” Mahra said loudly.

The machines in the dock rumbled, and everyone got busy.

Because this meant that they had money to earn.

Lin Yi and the others stood not far away. No one moved, and their expressions were very ugly.

Before this, they did not believe that there was anything wrong with the goods.

They just believed that someone was secretly making things difficult for the Lingyun Group.

Now, it seemed that things were different from what they had imagined.

“Brother Lin, what should we do now?” Luo Qi asked in a low voice.

“Let’s wait and see.”

Lin Yi’s brain spun rapidly. He was also thinking about what was going on, but he couldn’t figure out what the problem was.

In the current situation, all he could do was wait.

It would not be wise to raise doubts at this time or interfere with the investigation.

After all, this was an official process. No matter how impressive he was, it was impossible for him to fight them.

With the rumble of machinery, the blue container in question was hoisted down and placed in its assigned position.

The next thing to do was to open the box and inspect the goods.

But the huge arch above the cargo ship continued to work, not letting any of the goods go.

It wasn’t targeted at Lin Yi, it was just work.

The people in the dock were very familiar with the operation and quickly opened the container.

There were huge logs inside. At least on the surface, there was no problem. However, this did not mean that there was nothing wrong with the goods. Once the containers were open, Mahra called for forklifts and dozens of workers to begin unloading.

The staff here were very agile. In less than half an hour, they had unloaded everything in the container.

Dozens of giant logs were placed on the ground.

Mahra and the others picked up the testing equipment again and began to use them.

As time passed, Mahra and the others did detailed tests.

After checking more than ten logs in a row, they did not find any problems.

However, Lin Yi’s expression darkened. His attention was no longer on whether they could detect anything.

Deep inside, he all but knew that there was something wrong with this batch of goods.

He just wanted to figure out the answer to one question. What exactly was hidden in the logs?

The beeping sound continued, and in Lin Yi’s ears, it was like the sound of an electrocardiogram monitor, making him uneasy.

“Over here!”

Mahra said loudly, “There’s something wrong with this log!”

Hearing the shouts, the people in charge of the test all gathered over. Mahra said,

“Be careful, check this piece of wood; there must be something in this panel.” The group surged forward, wielding small hammers to tap haphazardly across the surface.

Though their method was crude, it was effective.

After several more minutes of hammering, someone shouted:

“Right here, there’s an issue! I’m certain it’s hollow inside!”

Lin Yi walked over expressionlessly, wanting to know what was inside.

“Sir, according to the rules, as the owner of this shipment, you are not allowed to approach the scene,” Mahra said.

Lin Yi didn’t waste any time and removed the watch on his wrist.

“This is a limited edition Royal Oak from Audemars Piguet. It’s worth about 4.00,000 US Dollars. I’m only going to take a look. It won’t affect your work. If you agree, this watch is yours.”

“Well…”

Mahra and the others’ eyes shone with golden light!

Over 400,000 USD!

To them, this was already an astronomical figure!

“But you can only stand two meters away.”

In the face of money, Mahra and the others quickly compromised and instructed,

“If you violate the rules, the security personnel here will not hesitate to attack you.”

“I understand.”

Everyone made way for them, and Lin Yi and the others didn’t move too much. They stood two meters away and looked at the problematic wood.

Mahra and the others took out tools like axes and chainsaws and prepared to split the wood.

In just a few minutes, the fake tree bark was torn off bit by bit.

They found a groove about half a meter long and less than 20 centimeters wide and deep.

There were two things inside, wrapped in transparent tape and black plastic sheeting.

In an instant, Lin Yi’s expression changed drastically, and his heart began to beat faster, sounding like thunder on a rainy day!

He had already guessed what was inside!

He was at least 70% confident!

Bass ore!

Because the oxygen released from it had already changed the surrounding oxygen concentration.

Although it was difficult for ordinary people to notice, at Lin Yi’s level, it was very easy to detect this.

Lin Yi wasn’t the only one. Luo Qi and Zhou Liang also noticed the change in the air and had strange expressions on their faces.

Removing the contents, Mahra muttered, “This heavy stuff doesn’t look like contraband.”

As he spoke, Mahra took a small knife from his colleague’s hand, cut open the black membrane on it, and took out the thing inside.

Seeing what was inside, Luo Qi and Zhou Liang’s eyes widened!

When they were training in the Central Guards Brigade, they had seen this thing at the base, and this was definitely the real deal.

Although the quality of what they had seen before differed, there was no denying it.

The item in Mahra’s hands was Bass ore!

Excited, both of their bodies began to tremble.

Bass ore was extremely dense; two pieces this size would weigh at least 10 kilograms!

“Calm down,” Lin Yi said in a low voice.

“Brother Lin, what should we do now…”

Luo Qi’s voice became nervous. This was their first time participating in a Central Guards Brigade mission.

This was the first time they had seen such a shocking thing, so it was understandable for them to be nervous.

“I’ll leave the rest to you. Hurry up and tell the Central Guards Brigade about this. Listen to Boss Liu’s instructions and fight to get this thing back before it’s sent to the security department.”

Lin Yi’s voice was deep and unquestionable.

“No matter the cost!”
