Chapter 312 – After the One-Night Stand with a Heartless Billionaire

He became hungry after about 30 minutes. As he reached into his pocket, he found a hard object inside. He took it out and discovered it was hardtack. He froze for a beat before looking in the direction Emily had just left.

Ryan actually knew why Emily was strongly against his idea. They were only ona drill, and the school and the troops had made the best safety measures for them. However, they would still be at risk.

Their group was the most special one because they were literally going to a crime den to fight criminals.

While Ryan was still immersed in his thought, he heard the sound of a car driving by. In the quiet, snowy night, the sound seemed very clear. The streetlights illuminated the entire warehouse, and eventually, a white van drove up to the warehouse’s entrance.

Five men then stepped out of the car. After that, one of them opened the door to the warehouse and said, “As soon as we finish this deal, we can go home for Christmas.”

“Yeah, and we’ll get a good cut of the profits this time. To be honest, I just love doing business with Fred. Isn’t he the best? “

“Actually, it’s not all because of Fred. His bosses decide how much of a pay cut to give us.”

“Who are them?”

Another man got out of the car while they were talking. Ryan couldn’t see his face because he wore a black raincoat, sunglasses, and a mask.

Indifferently, the mysterious man said, “Stop chatting and start working, guys. Because this is the final batch, we should be extra cautious.”

One of the men said disdainfully, “What’s the problem? Are you scared? You know that if you want to make money, you must take that risk You shouldn’t be in this business if you’re terrified.”

“Shut up. If you guys keep talking, I’m going to drive the car away.

“What? What the f**k are you talking about?”

Ryan frowned at those men, pondering over when he should rush out.

He believed that if he fought with them, they would take the upper hand Meanwhile, this time, he had a lot of gear with him and he was well-prepared, so he figured he’d give it a shot.

The group then drove the man in black away. Then he slowly walked toward the bathroom. At the same time, Ryan had been waiting for him in the corner for quite some time, holding a dagger and a drug-filled gauze. As the man walked in, Ryan grabbed the man’s neck and placed gauze over his mouth

After a brief struggle, the man collapsed to the ground.

Ryan sighed in relief and cursed in his heart. He froze when he took off the man’s mask because he recognized him as Mr. Gilbert of the Joan Group.

Ryan knew that Gilbert and Richard were involved in some illegal transactions, but he had not expected Gilbert to do drug trafficking in person. He appeared highly cautious about it and feared that those guys would mess things up.

Ryan tied Gilbert up and shoved him into the bathroom stall after putting on his clothes, disguising himself as Gilbert. After that, he walked out by himself and across the street to the warehouse. The snow was still falling and had landed on Ryan’s raincoat, making him look like a grim reaper.

Ryan stood outside the warehouse door, surveying the five men.

As far as he knew, Dylan was the most powerful of them all. He appeared to be the boss, directing several other men to move the boxes. Several of the other men appeared to be junkies and were skinny in a weird way.

Dylan turned to Ryan and asked, “What’s taking you so long to use the restroom? Come help us move our stuff. You mentioned earlier that you wanted to empty this warehouse, didn’t you?”

Ryan nodded and approached them. Dylan muttered, perplexed, “What exactly is going on? Why are you willing to assist us today?”

After carrying a box of stuff, Ryan stood in the back of the van, surveying the contents. He believed the drugs could put them in prison for the rest of their lives.

Then Dylan said to all of them, “Tom said we’re going to sell all this s**t before Christmas. Then, we’ll make a new vacation batch to sell next year. Think of all the money we’ll make, dudes! “

Everyone nodded excitedly and then continued to move the boxes. At the same time, Ryan saw a lot of drug-making tools, such as test tubes and measuring cups in the corner.

While calculating how much money these people could make out of the drugs, he heard Emily’s voice in his headphones, “Where are you?”

Ryan had signaled Emily five minutes before, but she had not responded. He assumed that the group had previously blocked all of the signals of the area.

“I’m at the warehouse, but there are people in here,” he said quickly, lowering his voice.

“Hold on, I’ll be right there,” Emily said right away.

Then Dylan tapped Ryan on the shoulder and asked, “Who are you talking to?”

Ryan immediately began to think, attempting to come up with a plausible explanation for himself. Then he heard someone shout from the bathroom, “Ah! Mr. Gilbert is lying in the restroom!”

Ryan shook off Dylan’s hand and stabbed the knife deep into his stomach before Dylan could react. Dylan screamed in pain, then squatted down and covered his stomach. The guys quickly realized Ryan was their enemy and rushed towards him.

One man said, “s**t! We can’t let this guy leave here alive.”

Hearing that, all five men pounced at Ryan like crazy.

Ryan was an exceptionally gifted student. But, as Emily pointed out, he was terrible at fighting. As a result, when he saw the group of men approaching him, he immediately searched in his pockets for the powder he had brought with him.

Before leaving, he had taken a small amount of allergy powder from the lab. Although the medicine would not work as quickly, it would cause pain in these people’s eyes.

To his surprise, he didn’t find it. Then he remembered that he had just is jacket on Mr Gilbert for fear that he would freeze to death in the

At that critical moment, he heard several shots from the southeast comer of the warehouse. He then quickly covered his head with his hands and knelt on the ground.

The man who had just hit him was kicked and fell to the ground. Then he struggled and covered his arm in pain.

When Ryan looked up, Emily’s leather boots were stomping on the man’s face. She appeared to be the actual hero.

Emily turned to him and asked, “Ryan, are you okay?”

Ryan shook his head and stood up slowly, holding on to the box next to him. Soon, the two group members pointed guns at the men and Mr. Gilbert and had them crouched in the corner.

“Is everything here?” Emily asked, looking at the paper boxes in the van’s rear.

“Yes, I saw boxes like this the last time I was here,” Ryan replied.

Emily drew her saber and unwrapped a box, but she froze when she realized what was inside. She found that there were a lot of children’s watches there.

Ryan frowned, unpacked several more cartons and later flipped them all over, He found that it was all filled with children’s watches.

Emily stared at him in disbelief, speechless.

Ryan threw down the box, took up the knife, and headed towards the cowering men in the corner. “Where’s the stuff?” he said, tightening his grasp on Dylan’s collar.

Dylan asked in surprise, “What are you talking about? What is it? “

Ryan slapped him and yelled, “Don’t try to fool me! Where’s the meth?

Dylan was astonished and asked, “What? The meth? We would never, ever deal drugs. We are just law-abiding citizens.” “Damn!”

As Ryan was about to hit him again, Emily stopped him and asked ‘ Dylan, “Are you guys really toy sellers? Then, why did you run when you saw us just now? Besides, I doubt a toy retailer could afford to rent a warehouse here.”

Joan Group’s warehouse was located on the city’s east side and near the city center. The warehouse was quite expensive to rent and was exclusively for the group. They would not have been able to rent such a costly warehouse if it hadn’t been for Mr. Gilbert. Furthermore, no one would store worthless toys in such a warehouse.
