In the days to come, He Zhou pretended to be nonchalant while being even more cautious. In order to obtain more precise information about the patrol rotation, firepower deployment, and the drug trafficking organization's transaction times at Solitary Eagle Ridge, he subtly engaged in conversation with the thugs.
Three days later, while on patrol, He Zhou once again found a clue and followed it. He searched through the dense forest and eventually fixed his gaze on a withered old tree.
Simply from the outside, this tree looks quite ordinary, with only a tender shoot still sprouting green.
"Lightning-struck wood, it should be this one."
He Zhou's eyes narrowed, then he walked to a certain spot on the trunk and found a mark there.
Following the arrow of the mark, looking to the southeast, there was a mound. If you don't look closely, you won't notice it. The plants growing there looked more withered than elsewhere.
He Zhou quickly dug out the dirt mound and took out a cloth bag from inside, which was sealed tightly in a black waterproof plastic bag.
The moment He Zhou touched it, his heart raced.
Opening the black waterproof plastic bag, everything was indeed as expected.
Inside the bag were The person in charge's gun, fifty rounds of ammunition, and a secret letter.
He Zhou quickly glanced through the contents of the secret letter, immediately stashing the handgun and bullet box into his personal space, and then restoring everything to its original state.
From the secret letter, he learned that the Da Xing Township Police Station had received his secret letter, reported it to a higher-level unit, and made careful arrangements.
If everything goes as planned, in three days, it will be the perfect time to launch a full-scale attack on the drug trafficking organization at Solitary Eagle Ridge.
"Finally going to take action against the drug lord at Solitary Eagle Ridge?" He Zhou clenched his fist and muttered to himself, feeling somewhat excited.
After three months of lurking behind enemy lines, both physically and mentally, He Zhou felt a deep exhaustion. But this feeling was like that of an old farmer in the countryside, looking at the full wheat ears. Even sitting on the edge of the field and drinking water from his own well, he could still genuinely smile, feeling a sense of satisfaction and happiness that comes with an imminent harvest.
After patrolling with Yan Laoliu, I returned to my residence, and it was already seven or eight o'clock in the evening.
At this time, it was considered quite late and dark.
In this simple shack, a total of eight people lived, and the only electrical appliance was an incandescent light emitting an orange glow.
"One pair of kings!"
"Go through."
"cannot afford......"
In the middle of the shack, there was a rectangular table. Several people were engrossed in playing cards and no one noticed when he and Yan Laoliu returned.
He Zhou took off his shoes and immediately a strong sour smell rushed up. He was thinking about whether to go wash his feet in a basin of water when an unidentified object flew towards him.
He subconsciously grabbed it and only then realized it was a bright red apple.
"Thanks!" He Zhou looked up at the other party and said thank you.
The other party waved his hand nonchalantly and greeted him, "Do you want to play a few rounds?"
Play a few rounds?
He Zhou was stunned for a moment, then followed his gaze and realized he was probably talking about playing poker.
"Never mind, playing cards with me is your only option besides losing," He Zhou waved his hand in mock refusal, but his heart was pounding.
Don't be fooled by these thugs, their eating habits may not be refined, but their income is quite high.
They make more money in a month than they would farming in their hometown for a year. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to build nice houses for their families after just two or three years, allowing their families to live a good life.
"Cut! Toad yawned, such a big mouth." The crowd mocked, "If you dare, come up to the table!"
He Zhou pretended to be provoked, rolled up his sleeves, and went up to start a fight.
Even if their money is not won now, when the police come to bust this den in a few days, a large portion of their ill-gotten gains will be intercepted, and then a portion of it will be turned in as a symbolic gesture.
In fact, these are all unwritten rules. Those at the bottom risk their lives, those who die or get injured in the line of duty will receive substantial compensation, and those who participate in meritorious deeds will also be generously rewarded with a substantial bonus.
This does not count as a violation of rules or discipline; everything is within the rules.
He Zhou didn't start off with big bets, but intentionally lost a couple of rounds, then pretended to get into the zone and won several rounds in a row.
After several rounds of back and forth, the money on the gambling table quickly decreased.
Everyone looked at each other, racking their brains but still couldn't figure out where all the money had gone.
He Zhou knew he couldn't win anymore, so he deliberately took out a small stack of tickets and counted them in front of them, muttering, "Played all night, thirsty and tired, and ended up playing alone."
"You're still okay, at least you didn't lose, unlike me, I lost over four thousand!"
"Damn it, I lost over five thousand..."
"I almost lost my underwear!"
In short, a bunch of people were shouting about losing money, but after thinking for a while, I still couldn't figure out who actually won the money.
They suspected He Zhou at first, but quickly overturned that suspicion. Now He Zhou is shirtless with only a pair of shorts on, and besides the money in his hand, there's nowhere else to hide money!
The other guys who were shouting about losing money started to suspect each other, speculating that The other party might be pretending to be innocent after gaining an advantage. It was obvious that they were making a profit, but they were still putting on an act.
He Zhou didn't have time to pay attention to their mutual cursing. He lay on the bed and focused on counting money in his personal space.
"Hehe, twenty-four thousand yuan, it can also be considered a small sum of money!"
