Chapter 1048 The Pier Was Seized
Cheng Jinnian realized belatedly that Jiang Wan did not ask him to go to Gangcheng together because he was afraid of affecting his mood.
She was still as considerate as before, and knew he was going on a mission so she didn't make any demands.
Now that his mother suddenly told him about this matter, Cheng Jinnian's mentality was indeed affected.
Cold sweat kept coming out of his forehead, and it took him a long time before he uttered a sentence.
"Mom, I'm going on a mission soon."
"This mission is urgent and important. No one involved can quit midway."
"Mom, I'm worried about Wanwan, but I really can't take a leave now."
"I will complete the task as quickly as possible and try to get some vacation time."
Cheng Jinnian was still talking when the assembly horn was sounded outside.
"Mom, it's time to gather. I have to leave soon."
"Mom, I'll call her when I get back and tell her I'm sorry in person."
Cheng Jinnian hung up the phone in a hurry and then came to the meeting place.
He stood in the team with everyone else, and this time because of his outstanding performance before, he was responsible for leading a platoon.
After Cheng Jinnian returned to the team, his face was still pale and his back was completely wet.
The soldier standing next to him keenly noticed that something was wrong with him.
He looked at him worriedly, but ultimately said nothing.
We have been preparing for this mission for a long time, and everyone has corresponding responsibilities.
In the words of the superior, as long as the person is alive, just carry out the mission honestly.
Each task is arranged, and no one can quit just because they want to.
Especially for a special mission like this, it cannot be refused.
Cheng Jinnian also knew the reason, so he did not agree to ask for leave.
Normally, before going on a mission, in order to avoid distracting the soldiers, they would not answer calls from home.
But Cheng Jinnian was afraid that the previous situation would happen again, so he specifically explained it to the signalman.
As long as there is a call from his family and he is still in the army, he must be notified immediately.
That's why he received this call now, and it really affected his mood.
Yun Zhilan felt a little disappointed and regretful after hanging up the phone.
She was worried about the safety of Jiang Wan and her grandson, and was even more afraid that her son would be distracted before carrying out the mission.
If anything happens to her son, she, as a mother, will be blamed.
Yun Zhilan burst into tears when she thought of this.
She didn't think much when she made the call, but she regretted it right after she made it.
Now I’m afraid something might go wrong, so I’m extremely scared.
When she cried, her grandson cried too. She could only wipe away her tears and go to accompany her grandson.
The two little grandsons are growing up gradually, and they are becoming more and more lovely than before.
The two little guys stretched out their little hands, one on the left and one on the right, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Yun Zhilan felt warm in her heart, as if her sadness had dissipated a lot.
Originally, she was worried when her daughter-in-law went to Hong Kong City.
Now, my son is also worried.
She is now worrying about both sides but is powerless to do anything. The only thing she can do is to take good care of her grandchildren and let them have no worries outside.
Jiang Wan drove there with his son this time, thus avoiding walking time and driving directly to the pier.
For some reason this time, the two waited at the dock for a long time but didn’t see any boat.
The little monkey stood on her shoulder and looked around, also expressing his doubts.
Jiang Wan always felt that something was wrong, so he asked a few people about the situation and finally found out where the problem lay.
Someone died in the sea some time ago, so the pier was closed.
Many places are now cracking down on illegal immigration, and the consequences of being caught are very serious.
Therefore, all passing ships have stopped during this period, making it extremely difficult to go to the port city.
Unless you go through formal channels and go through the process, you can only reach the port city by taking a public boat.
But this will take a lot of time and also require filing.
To put it bluntly, what Jiang Wan did this time was not a good thing.
Besides, her schedule was very tight and she didn't have time to waste any more time here.
Jiang Wan noticed that the person in front of him seemed to be hesitant to speak, and it seemed that he had something else to say but was hesitant.
Jiang Wan lowered his voice and spoke to him softly.
"Can you take a step to speak?"
The man readily agreed and took Jiang Wan to a nearby alley.
When he got to the alley and saw that there was no one around, he started talking.
"Are you in a hurry to go to Hong Kong City?"
“Although there are no ships during the day, there are still one or two ships quietly passing by at night.”
"It's just that because the risk is too great, the shipping fee is higher than before..."
The man paused here, raised his head and quietly looked at Jiang Wan's reaction.
Jiang Wan was in a hurry to get there, but he couldn't let anyone see him.
She pondered for a moment and asked casually.
"How much will it cost? Just name your price."
"If it's suitable, then go ahead. If it's not suitable, I think there are other ways."
Jiang Wan's seemingly casual attitude made the man unsure of what she was thinking, so he didn't dare to speak too much.
"It's three times the usual price per person."
After the man finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Jiang Wan again, wanting to see her reaction.
Jiang Wan looked at him expressionlessly, and only said something after a while.
"too expensive."
"Unless we charge only one person's price for two of us, that would be about right."
"After all, a child doesn't take up much space, and it's dangerous to go to the harbor city in this situation, right?"
"Even if there are only one or two boats at night, they won't be full, right?"
"Rather than leaving it empty, I'd rather do this business. The more money I make, the better."
Jiang Wan had a faint smile on his face when he spoke.
The man had a struggling expression on his face, and Jiang Wan knew that the man in front of him was either the boss or someone who was soliciting customers for the boss.
He should have the final say, which is why he is in such an awkward situation now.
"I'm not in a hurry to go to Hong Kong City. Going through the formal procedures will only take a little longer, but it's much safer."
"If it's really hard, I'll think of other ways."
Jiang Wan took a step back to advance, and while talking, he pulled the child and was about to leave.
The man hesitated, then nodded in agreement as she walked out of the alley.
"Okay, if it counts as one person, it counts as one person."
"You're right. The boat is empty anyway. We might as well take a few more people and make some more money."
After the man gave in, Jiang Wan also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she has money, she doesn't want to waste it on these things.
And based on past experience, she knew that this kind of thing could be bargained for.
The price itself was set by them, and the price increase was also done by them. It's normal for her to want to bargain, right?
"Thank you so much, boss. This way I don't have to go through so much trouble with the formalities. Although it still costs a little more money, it's fine as long as it's done."
