The vehicles were still moving onwards, V8 who was observing the outside, glanced at the gradually desolate surroundings, his voice tensed: “This place used to be quite lively in the past, but because of a huge chaos during ‘97, this place was razed down to ruins by cannon fire, so many years had passed yet it still maintained how it looked back then.”
“It’s normal; civil wars keep happening; who would come to rebuild their homes.” Z7 said coldly, “Saving themselves, survival, escape, had taken up the important bits of their lives, rebuilding their homes could only remain a thirst in their hearts.”
Ye Jian normally doesn’t involve herself in topics like these; it’s too heavy.
“Q King, do you see that short building ahead over there? Let’s go there first.” G3’s voice who was in the car in front said, Xia Jinyuan could see a building that was basically razed flat from cannon fire lit up by the headlights, “Roger that.”
Lin Feng’s jeep drove straight towards the building and stopped after going one circle around it.
He walked towards Xia Jinyuan, who had already gotten out of the car, “My partner, he’s waiting over there, let’s go meet him.”
Xia Jinyuan scanned his surroundings and asked him: “With everyone?”
“No need, no need, we’ll see which four of you are going with him, then we’ll bring them along.” Lin Feng trusts his partner really much, but that wasn’t the same for Xia Jinyuan.
Hearing that, he said: “V8, come down.” He then clapped Ye Jian’s shoulders, “Stay in the car, us few will go with Mountain Eagle.”
The car engine turned off, lights switched off, Ye Jian didn’t get into the car and leaned against the car door instead, a handgun appeared in her hands, the type where it was ready to shoot at any time.
In the Eastern corner of the building, Lin Feng noticed his partner and told Xia Jinyuan: “Over there, trust me, he’s a very trustworthy partner!”
Xia Jinyuan’s gaze followed where Lin Feng’s finger was pointing; it was a tall and slim figure; as to how he looked, it wasn’t visible, there was no light, so he could only see his silhouette.
After they had walked further, Lin Feng used his lighter to illuminate the place for a few seconds, Xia Jinyuan was then able to see that this was a local African man, and there was a long scar across his forehead, a gray handkerchief tied around his neck, while he was wearing a flax shirt that doesn’t seem to fit him, it was too tight, and the buttons across his chest seemed like they were about to burst.
When the scar-faced man saw Lin Feng, a smile appeared on his gloomy face; when the light disappeared, his smile had also disappeared.
His gaze had already scanned Xia Jinyuan up and down; Lin Feng then introduced them: “This is my friend, very trustworthy, it’s okay!” He then pointed at the scar-faced man and told Xia Jinyuan: “This is Supa; most of the information I get is through him. Even the news about Puntland Group was told to me by Supa.”
Lin Feng didn’t reveal Supa’s identity, but Xia Jinyuan had smelled the sea from him.
This was a man who lived on the ocean for years; maybe he could be called Pirate Supa.
With an indifferent look, Xia Jinyuan extended his right hand and took the initiative to greet him. “Nice to meet you.”
“Nice to meet you.” Supa extended his hand; after a quick handshake, he let go immediately and conversed with Lin Feng in Somali.
“Supa said, at around 4 p.m., a dozen or so Puntland Group members were pulling a very large wooden cabinet in their pickup truck as they entered Andican’s Underground Auction House, and the people guarding it are the Puntland Group’s own members, even Andican’s men weren’t allowed near, as to what was stored inside the wooden cabinet, Supa doesn’t know about it.”
Lin Feng had translated what Supa had just told him; his tensed face seemed grim, “Just now you said what you guys wanted to find was in Andican’s Auction House, then, that wooden cabinet might have… what you’re looking for.”
