Chapter 276 Road Inspection

After Lu Chen finished talking to Fu Mingzhuo, he dialed Eric's number without hesitation. He gave the order in a firm tone: "Prepare a cargo ship for me immediately and bring people to meet us at the dock!" Then, he deployed the mission details in detail to ensure that everything went well.

After everything was arranged, Lu Chen led the team to the dock without stopping. Hans and other companions followed closely behind, speeding all the way.

On the other side, Rivers and his group encountered a police checkpoint soon after they drove out of the Lu Industrial Park. This checkpoint was set up at the strong request of the Washington family, with the purpose of blocking all the main roads in New York and strictly checking the pedestrians and vehicles passing by.

In addition, Mitchell's eldest brother, Gnandi, also took active action. He fully mobilized the gang's strength and ordered his men to search for any clues related to Mitchell.

Rivers' motorcade slowly stopped, and the wheels made a harsh sound when they rubbed against the ground. The police came forward and asked Rivers and others to show their ID cards with a serious look, and asked them to open the boxes in the car for inspection.

Rivers' heart tightened, but he remained calm on the surface. He quickly opened the box full of stockings, then turned to the leading sheriff and said sincerely, "Sir, you see, we are just transporting goods for Lu's Textile Company. These are all their products." Then, he took out his ID and the gun license issued by the police station from his pocket, handed them to the sheriff and added, "Look, I am an employee of the Flood Security Company, and this gun license was also issued by the director of your bureau himself! So, please believe that we will never have any bad intentions."

After saying this, Rivers secretly took out a twenty-dollar bill from his other pocket and put it into the sheriff's pocket when no one was paying attention. Then, he smiled flatteringly and said to the sheriff in a low voice, "Sir, I'm so sorry! Our boss is anxiously waiting for this batch of goods at the dock. If we are late because of the delay, he will definitely deduct our salary. I hope you will be magnanimous and let us go!"

Upon seeing that Rivers and his companions were all carrying weapons, the sheriff in charge of the inspection looked extremely solemn and nervous, and was on guard against Rivers and his companions as if they were facing a great enemy.

However, when the sheriff in charge of the inspection heard Rivers introduce himself as an employee of Lu's Company, his expression relaxed significantly; then he learned that Rivers was from Flood Security, and he felt relieved instantly. After carefully checking the documents of Rivers and others, he completely relaxed.

At this moment, the sheriff keenly noticed that Rivers was putting a stack of banknotes into his pocket, and his face immediately showed joy. At this moment, no matter from which angle he looked at Rivers, the sheriff felt that he was particularly pleasing to the eye, and no longer doubted that there was anything wrong with Rivers and his team. So he turned to the police officer who was performing the inspection and instructed:

"Everyone just needs to take a quick look. These goods belong to Lu's company and are escorted by Hong Shui Security. They will definitely have no problem."

After hearing what the sheriff said, the police officers' tense faces relaxed instantly, but they still pretended to flip around in the truck and made an OK gesture to the sheriff to show that everything was normal. The sheriff immediately turned around and told Rivers: "The inspection has been completed, you can pass." Before he finished speaking, Rivers quickly took out two packs of cigarettes and handed them to the sheriff, then turned around and got into the car, waving his hand to signal the entire convoy to continue heading towards the dock.

Rivers and his group relied on Lu Chen's famous name and some bribes to easily pass through four or five checkpoints. However, just as they were about to reach the dock, they encountered some tricky situations. It turned out that this checkpoint was jointly set up by Gnandi and his men and the police. Therefore, there were not only police stationed here, but also Gnandi's men. When they saw Rivers' convoy approaching, they immediately stopped the vehicle without hesitation.

At first, Rivers naively thought it was just another ordinary checkpoint and planned to use the same trick to get through. But when he noticed that there were other people beside the police, his heart suddenly tightened. He gestured to his companions to prepare for battle, then slowly opened the car door and stepped out of the passenger seat.

Seeing someone walking out of the car with a gun on his back, the police drew their guns as if they were facing a great enemy, pointed their gun muzzles at Rivers, and shouted sternly: "Don't move! Put your hands up!"

Faced with this sudden change, Rivers followed the instructions without hesitation and raised his hands to surrender. At the same time, he calmly explained to the police: "Don't be nervous, we are employees of the flood security company and have legal gun licenses. I have the licenses with me and can show them to you at any time."

After hearing what Rivers said, the police officers' expressions were obviously much calmer, but they still held their guns tightly. At this time, a police chief shouted loudly: "You, go and check his gun license." The police officer who was called out was obviously a little surprised and embarrassed, but he did not dare to disobey the order, so he could only bite the bullet and approach Rivers slowly and tremblingly.

When he got closer, Rivers took the initiative to tell the police officer in front of him who looked worried: "My gun license is in the left pocket of my shirt. Just take it out and have a look."

The police officer reached out his hand tremblingly and carefully took out the gun license from Rivers' pocket. As if the license was a hot potato, he dared not neglect it at all. After getting the gun license, the police officer ran back to the police car like a frightened rabbit and handed it to the sheriff.

The sheriff took the gun license and examined it carefully. After confirming that it was correct, he looked up at Rivers and said in a dignified tone: "Put down your gun first and then walk over slowly." Rivers frowned and responded with dissatisfaction: "We are legally armed, why should we put down our guns?" However, the sheriff was not shaken by his questioning and still said firmly: "If you don't follow my instructions, I have the right to consider you a threat to me and take necessary measures, including shooting you on the spot."

Hearing this, Rivers felt very upset, but he also knew that it was not appropriate to have a conflict with the police at this time. After all, less trouble is worse than more trouble. So, he reluctantly put the pistol in the car and walked towards the sheriff. Each step seemed so heavy, as if expressing his inner helplessness and dissatisfaction.
