299: Chapter 178: Escorting the Fire 299: Chapter 178: Escorting the Fire After splitting the money, Sieg also sent a ssage to the General Sect Leader informing Allen Zhang that he had successfully applied and taken up the job of ard transport, asking him to gather in Ard Nation.
Allen Zhang left the bridge tunnel camp and drove to Ard Nation on West Street.
Upon arrival, he imdiately noticed several transport vehicles parked outside the gun shop, with Sieg and Bailey wearing bullet-proof vests, helts, holding assault rifles, and equipped with pistols and fragntation hand grenades on their waist, fully ard.
Parking the car by the roadside, Allen Zhang walked over to inquire, “Four vehicles?
What’s the situation?
Don’t we only need to transport gun oil and regular security equipnt?
Why use so many people?
Are they carrying intercontinental missiles or what?”
“Things are not that simple.”
Sieg took Allen Zhang aside and whispered, “This mission is actually initiated by a friend of the boss of Ard Nation, together with the gun shop owner.
Of course, there wouldn’t be much profit from just ordinary firearms, so he’s also smuggling so private goods in the trucks, but we are not privileged to ask about the specifics.
Officially, we are transporting gun oil, security equipnt, and the Sieg Short Assault Rifles, but in reality, in addition to so private items, there are also so CD-ROMs that we need to safely transport to the Wells Fargo Bank in Palm Valley.”
Allen Zhang imdiately understood, realizing that even in this clean-hands eting there were interests being exchanged.
“What’s recorded on those CDs?
Bank Vault codes?
Or so shady transaction list?
It must be data-related anyway.”
Nothing new under the sun; it seems the bank itself probably has quite a few corruption issues, maybe it will soon need people to sort its accounts.
“I don’t know what it is,” Sieg said uninterestedly, rely introducing so personnel responsible for the transport mission to the General Sect Leader.
Pointing to a group of Black people sitting on the transport vehicles, he said, “They are forr mbers of the Los Angeles Police Departnt who served at the Eastern Los Angeles Police Departnt before forming their own security team called Fire Cannon after leaving.
They have a pretty solid reputation in the circle.”
Then pointing to several white people, “They are from Lightning, a security firm under a Los Angeles PMC company.
They are also responsible for this transport mission.”
“It’s like us casual personnel then, PMC company people getting paid $85 an hour, Fire Cannon team gets $80, and we only get $60-70.”
Sieg finished with a bit of discontent.
Always getting the lowest hourly rate wherever he goes, who can stand that?
Even though they too were skilled, everyone was equally matched; if it really ca down to a fight, he, a forr Marine Corps Captain, might not be any worse off than these people, right?
It mainly boils down to not being well-known in the industry, no flashy advertisents, no backing from PMC companies, nor involving any sensational events.
“That Fire Cannon squad, because they maintained security at a celebrity concert and successfully protected their client, brought the risk down and suddenly gained fa, previously their average rate was only $55 per hour.”
Bailey couldn’t help but quip, “It’s not like they are fighting on the front lines, and that counts as experience?”
“So many people?
Looks like this mission isn’t going to be so peaceful,” Allen Zhang was sowhat surprised, “If it was just a normal transport, there wouldn’t be a need for so many people, right?”
“The employer arranged it this way; we just need to do our jobs well.”
Sieg then took the General Sect Leader to change into their gear and got into a bullet-proof armored transport vehicle.
Allen Zhang looked at the various big and small boxes in the van’s cargo area, which were filled with firearms, gun oil, and common security equipnt.
Plus the private goods in the black boxes and the CDs in the silver safe.
Allen Zhang also took out his phone to report the situation to Blitz, asking him to look into the relationship between Ard Nation and Wells Fargo Bank, as well as potential risks during the mission.
Quickly, Blitz sent a ssage: Wells Fargo Bank and the boss of Ard Nation have so private connections.
The person who issued this mission also has so shady dealings with bank people, involving manipulating stock market trends, making money from real estate speculation, engaging in gang-related and contemptible activities, stoking public panic to offload junk stocks aggressively, low buying and high selling, various financial illegal operations.
Blitz: The Securities and Exchange Commission got wind of their acts and froze their accounts, with the FBI responsible for initiating an investigation, but in just a few days, the accounts were unfrozen again.
Blitz: I couldn’t find out what those CDs are about, but a week ago, they t with the head of the MC Biker Gang, and even invited the Vice Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The specifics are unknown; perhaps the CDs contain recordings and truths, or maybe just so data packages and white transaction lists.
Among the items in the black box might be so illegal goods.
Allen Zhang: Can you crack the codes on the safe and the CD?
They’re in our van.
Blitz: I don’t recomnd you delve into the inside story here; the water is deep in this industry; you just need to straightforwardly deliver the goods, there shouldn’t be too high a risk.
Allen Zhang: ok.
The General Sect Leader was also just curious about what shady affairs were on the CD.
If this transport mission goes smoothly, it ans the CDs are just ordinary data packages.
If sothing goes awry midway, it signifies that at least the CDs have touched upon so people’s interests, needing special care or even destruction.
Inside are all the shady PY trades.
