Chapter 274 Found Rivers
After talking to Fu Mingzhuo on the phone, Lu Chen's anxiety was finally relieved. As long as Rivers and others were still in the park, Lu Chen firmly believed that with Fu Mingzhuo's ability, they would be able to find him.
At this moment, Rivers was hiding in a residential building in Lu's Industrial Park, just as Lu Chen had expected. Originally, he planned to follow Lu Chen's instructions and find a secluded place to contact Lu Chen after successfully capturing Mitchell. However, things took an unexpected turn.
When he was preparing to leave the city with Mitchell, he was intercepted by local New York gangs. These gangs were obviously here to rescue Mitchell. This sudden situation made Rivers panic. He never expected that someone would notice Mitchell's kidnapping so quickly. After all, in the process of carrying out the kidnapping, he took great pains to get rid of more than a dozen bodyguards around Mitchell, and even sacrificed the lives of two companions for this.
After finally breaking through the gangsters' blockade, Rivers did not dare to slack off and rushed towards the Lu's Park without stopping. After all, at this moment, ensuring the personal safety of himself and his comrades is the top priority! As for why he chose to go directly to the Lu's Park instead of other places, there is a reason for this!
It turns out that all of this is closely related to Lu Chen. You know, Lu's Industrial Park is Lu Chen's base camp! As the big boss of Rivers, he can naturally give them more shelter and security on his own territory!
After a day of resting and recuperating in Lu's Park, Rivers thought about contacting Lu Chen and telling him about his current situation. Although Rivers had arranged a retreat for his people before the action, he estimated that they would not be able to leave New York City on their own.
So Rivers decided to go out and look for a place where he could make a phone call. After searching for a while, he was surprised to find that although there was a large population and relatively complete infrastructure, there was a serious problem - there were no public telephone booths! Those places with telephones were either service stations set up by Lu's company or some private telephone lines installed by themselves. Faced with such a difficult situation, Rivers couldn't help but feel very troubled...
If he wanted to contact Lu Chen now, he had to go to those specific places to use the phone. However, these places were not only inhabited by Chinese people, but also by many people of other ethnicities. Rivers was secretly worried that if he was accidentally discovered by the gangsters when he made a call here, they would immediately inform the Washington family. Not only would he be in danger of losing his life, but Lu Chen would also be very likely to suffer cruel revenge from the Washington family.
After all, their entire family is currently employed by Lu Chen. If Lu Chen encounters an accident, the livelihood of the entire family will be in dire straits.
This afternoon, when Rivers was looking for a telephone booth, he unexpectedly noticed a strange atmosphere in the entire park: everyone in the park seemed to be looking around absent-mindedly, and they also cast a critical eye on everyone who passed by. This strange situation made Rivers alert, and he felt more and more that people in the park seemed to be searching for a target person. In view of this situation, Rivers hurriedly purchased a large amount of daily necessities as a reserve, and then quickly returned to the temporary shelter where he and his comrades were staying.
Rivers had just stepped into the house and hadn't even sat down when Fu Mingzhuo received a message from his men - they seemed to have found Rivers's trace! Only half a day had passed! Fu Mingzhuo was extremely surprised and ecstatic that his men had found the clue so quickly. He led everyone to the scene without hesitation to conduct further verification.
Under the enthusiastic guidance of the enthusiastic citizens, Fu Mingzhuo led the security team in the park to the door of the room where Rivers was temporarily staying. He knocked on the door gently and said to the person in the room: "Hello, I am the property management staff of the park. I came to check your water consumption this month."
Hearing the knock on the door, Rivers and his companions instantly became extremely alert. At this moment, Mitchell, who was blindfolded, gagged, and tied up like a dumpling and thrown in a corner, could not suppress his fear and anxiety, and desperately made "hmmmm" cries for help.
Seeing that Mitchell dared to shout, the man who was guarding him kicked Mitchell without saying a word, and shouted angrily: "Be quiet! If others notice anything unusual, I will kill you immediately!"
Rivers frowned as he watched all this. Bringing Mitchell with him at this time undoubtedly increased the difficulty of their escape. He wanted to kill Mitchell, but then he thought of Lu Chen's instructions to him not to kill Mitchell. This made him very unhappy.
With a gloomy face, he ordered the man who had kicked Mitchell down, "Take him into the house! I will take care of the rest."
Before he could finish his words, the man guarding Mitchell dragged Mitchell into an empty room next door without mercy, like dragging a sack.
After the two men entered the house, Rivers quickly turned to face the other companions in the house and made a gesture of preparation for battle. After doing these actions, Rivers stood up and walked towards the door.
Rivers walked to the door, carefully pushed it open a crack, squinted his eyes and carefully observed who was standing outside the door.
When he saw that the person coming was Fu Mingzhuo, his tense nerves instantly relaxed. He quickly opened the door completely and shouted to Fu Mingzhuo enthusiastically:
"Oh my, it turns out that it is Manager Fu who has come to visit us! I wonder what brings you here today?"
When Fu Mingzhuo saw that the person who answered the door was indeed Rivers, he finally felt relieved. He smiled with relief and said to Rivers in a teasing tone:
"Rivers, is there any misunderstanding between you and Xiaochen? Why did you come to the park without saying hello? He even called me to arrange for someone to come and look for you. If you have something to say, why don't you just tell him directly? Why do you have to make such a fuss?"
Rivers was somewhat at a loss for words after hearing what Fu Mingzhuo said, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face. However, at the same time, he was secretly thinking in his heart, and caught a key message from the other party's words - Lu Chen did not seem to want Fu Mingzhuo to know that he had kidnapped Mitchell. Knowing this, Rivers had a rough idea of how to respond to Fu Mingzhuo.
He scratched his head and said apologetically:
"Manager Fu, I'm so sorry to bother you to come all the way here to see me. Actually, I brought a few friends here with me just to hang out for a few days. I don't have any other ideas. Oh, by the way, the boss asked you to come to see me. Is there something important that needs my attention?"
Fu Mingzhuo thought for a while, then replied: "He didn't mention what it was specifically, he just said there was something very important waiting for you to do. In addition, he also asked me to hand over a batch of arms and ammunition to you. How about this, do you plan to go with me to get it, or do you plan to let me deliver it to you directly?"
If I follow Fu Mingzhuo out rashly, there will undoubtedly be certain risks. After all, there are so many people in the park, if someone accidentally reveals their residence information, the consequences will be disastrous.
After careful consideration, Rivers decided to propose a more reliable plan to Fu Mingzhuo: "Could you please ask Manager Fu to arrange for someone to deliver the things? In addition, you'd better call my boss and ask him what he wants me to do specifically. Oh, one more thing, if it's convenient, please help me ask my boss not to deduct my bonus this month."
After hearing this, Fu Mingzhuo smiled and pointed at Rivers, teasing, "You, you actually have to report to Xiaochen before going out to play. Look at what this has caused! Okay, I'll go back right now and ask Xiaochen for you, and say a few good words for you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Fu Mingzhuo turned and left. When she stepped out of the residential building, she turned around and reminded the security personnel beside her: "You must stay here to guard Rivers. Don't let him run around, otherwise we will have to go to find him again later."
After giving the order, Fu Mingzhuo turned around and walked towards his own factory. At the same time, Rivers stood upstairs and silently watched everything that happened downstairs. When he saw that Fu Mingzhuo had left all his entourage in place, he couldn't help but frown. He really couldn't figure out what Fu Mingzhuo's intention was in making such an arrangement, and he secretly speculated in his heart: Could it be that Fu Mingzhuo noticed something unusual? But it seemed that it was not that simple... However, no matter what, Fu Mingzhuo sent someone to guard this place, which undoubtedly aroused Rivers' deep suspicion and vigilance.
Rivers turned to look at his comrades beside him and said in a serious tone: "Everyone, stay on high alert from now on! Just in case. If we really encounter the worst situation, I don't want to see anyone fall into the hands of the enemy and become a prisoner!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole room fell into silence, and more than a dozen soldiers nodded silently in response, indicating that they understood what Rivers meant.
Fu Mingzhuo hurried back to the company, and before he even sat down, he couldn't wait to call Lu Chen. At this moment, Lu Chen was sitting at home anxiously, waiting for news from Fu Mingzhuo and Eric. Suddenly, a rapid phone ring broke the suffocating silence in the house. Lu Chen jumped up as if he had been electrocuted, grabbed the phone, and asked in a trembling voice: "How is it? Any news about Rivers?"
Fu Mingzhuo had never expected that he would hear Lu Chen's voice as soon as he dialed the number. He couldn't help but feel very surprised and said jokingly into the microphone: "Hey, Xiaochen, you are not staying by the phone all the time, are you?"
However, Lu Chen had no time to joke with Fu Mingzhuo at this moment. His mind was full of Rivers' safety. He shouted anxiously into the microphone: "Mingzhuo, stop joking! Tell me quickly, do you have any news about Rivers?"
Seeing Lu Chen so anxious, Fu Mingzhuo did not dare to delay any longer and quickly responded: "Yes, I just found Rivers in a residential building in the park."
After learning that Fu Mingzhuo had successfully found Rivers' whereabouts, Lu Chen's heart, which had always been hanging in the air, finally settled down a little. But he was still worried and continued to ask Fu Mingzhuo: "Where is he? Is he with you now? Can you let him answer the phone?"
Fu Mingzhuo quickly responded, "Rivers didn't come with me. He asked me to ask what kind of task you assigned to him. Besides, Xiaochen, in my opinion, Rivers and his men probably just wanted to find a comfortable place to rest and relax for a while because the work was too hard. Otherwise, you should be more magnanimous and don't bother with them."
Lu Chen was slightly startled, but then he came to his senses and secretly thanked Rivers for not revealing anything that Fu Mingzhuo could detect. After a moment's thought, he turned to Fu Mingzhuo and said,
"Brother Mingzhuo, please prepare a batch of wooden boxes for me. I have a batch of goods here that must be loaded in wooden boxes. Oh, by the way! Please help load a box of stockings. When you are done, let Rivers and the others take these wooden boxes to the dock. Don't worry, I will be waiting for them there in person. As for whether to punish them... hehehe, that depends on whether they can successfully complete the escort mission this time~"
When Fu Mingzhuo heard what Lu Chen said, he immediately smiled with joy and nodded without hesitation, "Okay! Leave this to me. I will complete the task! I will prepare now and deliver the wooden boxes and weapons to them as soon as possible according to your instructions. In addition, please rest assured that I will convey the important information you just told them to them word for word!"
After reporting Rivers' every move to Lu Chen in detail, Fu Mingzhuo immediately began to arrange for the action. He followed Lu Chen's instructions and quickly prepared several huge wooden boxes, and then ordered his men to stuff the stockings densely into one of the boxes. Then, he sent someone to Chen Jianghe to retrieve the rifle and sufficient bullets for backup.
When everything was ready, Fu Mingzhuo personally led these important items back to the residential building where Rivers was hiding. After arriving at the destination, Fu Mingzhuo carefully placed all the things downstairs to ensure that nothing would go wrong. Then, he walked up the stairs alone, walked straight to the door of the room where Rivers and others were, and raised his hand to gently knock on the door.
