Chapter 269 - 5 Satisfaction
Shen Chi bent down to open the suitcase, and instantly, Lin Xiaoguai’s eyes were almost blinded by the threat.
The jade green, glamorous red, gentle yellow, elegant purple, and refreshing blue, the originally most dazzling brilliant gold, actually became unremarkable. Lin Xiaoguai had no doubt, the items in front of her were all top-grade jade.
The entire suitcase was packed full, Lin Xiaoguai widened her eyes, "Where did these come from?" Although the jade market could not yet compare to that of the future, such top-notch goods would be sought after in any era, and Shen Chi, even with all his capabilities and wealth, couldn’t possibly have bought so much in one year.
"These are all illicit goods, collected over more than ten years by that drug lord who fled to Myanmar. I seized all of them at once; these are some of the finest items," Shen Chi explained as he moved the pieces of jade from the suitcase, the largest the size of a soccer ball, the smallest only as big as an egg.
The reason he was deployed wasn’t because the drug lord was of significant importance—though the drug lord was indeed a difficult figure in the criminal police system—but for a Colonel from the Capital Military District to personally go undercover was a bit too much.
What made the drug lord most capable was that he had the protection of the Myanmar Military Government and even under their protection, he had transported large quantities of drugs to the country. Seeing a giant drug trafficking organization about to form, the higher-ups couldn’t sit idle, so they sent him both to apprehend the drug lord and to give the Myanmar Military Government a deterrent to avoid similar situations in the future.
Although this mission was not as life-threatening as previous ones, the mental strain Shen Chi faced, always under the eyes of the enemy, was unprecedented. Just the preparatory work alone took more than half a year; he dared not act without full preparation.
After this mission, he didn’t plan to take such dangerous tasks anymore, not just for himself, but also for the sake of Wanwan and his son.
After all, promotions in the future would not be decided by just one or two missions; he had reached the stage where he needed to accrue seniority.
