Chapter 75 Heavy Rain [Rewards accumulated and additional chapters]

"...I understand." Then the receiver was placed on the phone base.

An overseer took a puff of his cigarette and looked at the empty warehouse. Hiram and his men had been dismissed, and of course they had not been paid a penny.

The company has always been like this, and it saves the company a lot of money. In the end, they are not the ones who suffer, so they won't complain.

Supervisor A then glanced at his companion and said, "Someone will come to take over our job in a while. When the time comes, hand the key to him and we will leave."

The other person didn't say anything, but from the happy expression on his face, it can be seen that he was very happy.

In fact, both of them were very happy. Although this job was leisurely, they had to stay here all day and couldn't go anywhere. They couldn't stand it for a long time.

If it weren't for Arthur's extraordinary identity and status, and the fact that he was paid enough, they would have run away long ago.

Now that they can finally leave, the two of them whispered about where to go to relax and have fun in the evening. They were almost getting lice during this period of time!
Suddenly, heavy rain came, just as the radio forecast had predicted.

The whole city was covered with a layer of water curtain, and the mist made the world seem dreamy and bizarre.

The rain was so heavy that it hit the iron sheets like pebbles. Except for a few people who needed to hurry on, everyone else hid under the eaves. Even the number of cars on the road decreased.

Today's cars, even luxury cars, are not sealed that well. Once water gets into the engine, it is no joke.

Many cars were parked on the roadside. The cheap cars with tarpaulin roofs were the worst hit. It was raining heavily outside and water started to leak inside, and it even started to drizzle.

Arthur parked the car in the garage cursing, but he was a step late and the car was filled with water.

Fortunately, he had experience and asked his servants to handle the matter as quickly as possible.

He put these things behind him and thought about who else he could get money from.

After all, there is only a little more than a week left until the 25th.

The rainstorm washed the entire world. In the mist, several people wearing thick raincoats came to the outside of the warehouse.

"They have seen me. I sneaked in first to trick the door open, and then gave you the signal."

Erwin gave an instruction and then knocked on the door hard. The others stood at some distance from the door, waiting for Erwin's signal.

To ensure safety, they all carried weapons.

The banging on the door could not be blocked by the sound of rain. Even the crackling sound of raindrops from the roof could not cover up the knocking.

The two supervisors looked at each other with delight, and immediately came to the door and opened it. "You are finally here, are you alone?"

Supervisor A was very enthusiastic. Although Erwin's raincoat had a hood, the heavy rain still made his hair messy and covered part of his face.

He was stunned for a moment, then reacted quickly, "There are still a few people standing at the door. I saw you locked the door."

"It's raining too hard!" Supervisor B explained, "Here are the keys. Call your boss later and tell him that we have handed it over. This place is now yours."

"Hopefully your boss has talked to you about this."

Erwin didn't know what happened, but he knew it couldn't be a bad thing. "Of course, the boss told me to call him after I get the key."

He pointed to the door and said, "I'll call the other colleagues in."

The two supervisors had no objection to this. "If they don't like getting wet in the rain, they can come in."

As they talked, the two of them started to put on their raincoats, even though it was raining heavily. They both wanted to take a walk around the red light district at the entrance of the port area. Now that it was raining heavily, there would be more girls to choose from, so they were eager to go and couldn't wait.

Lance came in and saw two supervisors changing clothes. He looked at Erwin in confusion. Erwin gestured with the key in his hand. Although Lance didn't know what was going on, he still cooperated and walked towards the wine. "Let me check."

Supervisor A looked at Lance who had lowered his hood. He couldn't see his face, but he looked a little unhappy.

He looked at Erwin, "Your friend is a bit unpleasant, there's no way that can go wrong here!"

Erwin smiled, "Sorry, he's a little sensitive."

The two supervisors looked at Lance again. He had already changed his clothes. They had a good impression of Erwin. "You look familiar... maybe we have met somewhere?"

Erwin was very clever, "Have you ever been to the Red Romance Nightclub at the door?"

The two supervisors looked at each other and smiled obscenely, "If you didn't have to stay here today, I would definitely drag you along. We can make an appointment next time if there's a chance."

He said as he held out his hand, Erwin also held out his hand and shook it, "Next time for sure."

Then there was another person.

The two put on their hoods, said goodbye, and walked straight into the rain, quickly disappearing in the mist. After the others left, Lance turned around abruptly, "Quick, get Brother Howard over here as soon as possible, we have to take the stuff away immediately!"

Things have changed, obviously.

Morris was small, but he ran fast. He ran out the door. Lance pulled Hiram and pointed at the door and said, "Go open the warehouse door. The others get ready to move the goods."

Two minutes later, two general-purpose trucks with a bed length of about 3.5 meters and a width of 2.2 meters drove in, one in front and one behind. The high fence allowed it to carry at least 15 cubic meters of cargo!

The workers had been getting wet in the rain in the truck bed. Now they quickly jumped off the truck and began to move the goods quickly using forklifts or tools.

Brother Howard stood at the front of the car and looked at the wine. He swallowed and asked, "How much do you think there is here?"

Little Howard lit a cigarette, "At least two hundred thousand worth of goods."

The two men looked at each other, greed, shock, a little fear, anyway, all kinds of emotions were present, but not many. Most of them were surprised at Lance's big move. This was a big move!
Hiram and his men were skilled workers and they quickly filled two trucks. There was no time to do any waterproofing, so they were just told to drive the trucks out.

The warehouse rented by Lance is also here. Large trucks are still very rare vehicles in this era, and they are more common near port terminals or train stations.

It rarely appears in other places, and once it does, there will definitely be a lot of witnesses.

Therefore, if you really hide the things in other places, they may not be able to be hidden, and the distance is so far that there is a high probability that all the things here cannot be taken away.

At the dock, there are trucks everywhere. It is raining heavily and the fog is heavy. You can't see anything more than 50 meters away. It is a good time for smuggling.

The two vehicles quickly arrived at the warehouse rented by Lance. This type of daily-rental warehouse is very common at the docks, and the unloading was also fast, and all the goods were unloaded in more than ten minutes.

Everyone followed the truck back to the warehouse in the rain.

The rainstorm began to subside. Often, this kind of super heavy rain only lasts for a dozen or twenty minutes at its peak.

At this time, Lance had already guessed the general situation. They were changing shifts, and the heavy rain prevented the people from coming to change shifts, and then the supervisor mistook them for the people who came to take over.

So in fact, there is another wave of people preparing to come, but we don’t know exactly when.

It is really tormenting that every minute and every second is so clear and long!

When the second trip was completed, there was not much goods left in the warehouse, which might be good news.

The rainstorm began to turn into heavy rain, but the oppressive feeling that the dark clouds brought to the city had not decreased much. It seemed as if it would fall down at any time and crush the entire city.

Morris stood in the rain holding a lantern, watching the road.

There are five roads coming in from the dock gate, and he only focuses on one of them that leads to the warehouse.

Suddenly, four headlights appeared at the end of the road and two cars were approaching. Morris subconsciously became nervous.

Fortunately, the two cars were not driving fast. The road at the dock was not very good. Large trucks ran around here every day. The ground was bumpy and visibility was low, so the vehicles dared not drive too fast.

Looking at the road they were heading towards the warehouse, Morris quickly opened the shade of the lantern in his hand and kept opening and closing it.

When the last batch of goods was being pulled in, a light suddenly lit up in the mist that Lance had been staring at, and kept flashing, which meant that someone was coming this way.

He looked at the progress of loading and saw that there were still about two thousand bottles that had not been loaded, so he called for a stop.

"Someone's here, put down what you're doing, we're leaving now."

Lance had absolute authority here, and no one contradicted him. The workers immediately climbed into the truck beds, and the two trucks rushed directly into the water mist.

But they didn't go far. There was only one road out from here, so the two trucks stopped on the side of the road not far away and turned off the engines and lights.

About three minutes later, two cars drove over slowly, and everyone in the cars held their breath.

After they walked a little further away, Lance let the Howard brothers start the car again.

At this time, the two cars had arrived at the warehouse. Under the dim light bulbs, the warehouse number was particularly eye-catching.

The driver was in a good mood at this time, "They actually opened the door to welcome us..."

The assistant's nephew who was sitting in the passenger seat was stunned for a moment, and his expression suddenly became a little uneasy, "Drive in and take a look, something seems to be wrong."

It's raining so heavily, if the rain water is washed in and the outer shells of the wines are wet or broken, the value of these wines will be affected!

However, when they entered the warehouse, they were faced with only about 2,000 bottles of wine left in the corner that had not been moved away in time, and there was a sharp explosion!

Mr. Jobaf, who was about to take a rest, was startled by a phone call. The dark clouds outside the window made the sky look particularly dark at this time!
