At the customs, Thomas’s three trucks had arrived.
According to the plan, they would be delivered to Milan headquarters by freighter. For such large-scale bulk shipments, there were specific customs inspections.
“What is being shipped?”
“Rough stones.”
“To where?”
“Milan.”
The inspector waved his hand, and several professional personnel immediately inspected the trucks and rummaged the goods inside out. There was nothing suspicious when inspecting the first two trucks.
When they were inspecting the third truck, the driver of the third truck secretly chuckled.
Thomas walked over abruptly. He extended his hand and patted the driver’s shoulder while coughing deliberately. The driver was scared, and favonovel.com immediately turned his head to look at Thomas.
“What are you laughing at? If you have any good news, do share it with me.” Thomas pretended to be curious.
The driver coughed embarrassingly. “There’s no good news. I’m only relieved to have reached this point. My task is finished, so I can finally relax now.”
“Oh, your task is finished,” Thomas asked pointedly, “What is your task then?”
“Mr. Mayo, aren’t you asking the obvious? My task was to send this batch of rough stones to customs, of course.”
“Only this batch of rough stones? Nothing else?”
The driver started to produce cold sweat. He keenly felt that Thomas seemed to know something, but logically speaking, Thomas would not know it. He should not scare himself.
The driver calmed down and said with a smile, “What else is there? Mr. Mayo, don’t tease me.”
Thomas shrugged. “Haha, I just made fun of you. It seems like you caught on. That’s not fun then.”
He said and walked away.
The driver stared at Thomas, and favonovel.com thought to himself. ‘Still trying to make fun of me. Hehe, soon, you won’t be able to cry even if you want to.’
The driver turned his head and continued to look at the inspectors.
Those inspectors inspected the rough stones thoroughly. During the inspection, they removed the rough stones on the surface.
The driver could not help but smile. He knew that after the layer of rough stones was removed, it would reveal…
Clatter.
Under that layer of rough stones were more rough stones.
‘This is not right…’ The driver was stunned.
A black box should be lying under the layer of rough stones. He had seen Bobby and the others move it up with his own eyes. There should not be any problems.
‘Why… The journey was bumpy, so it must. have been knocked from its position.’
The driver firmly believed that the black box must still be in the truck.
But what was awkward was that after the entire truck was being inspected, there were no results. The black box seemed to have disappeared as it could not be found.
This time, the driver was completely dumbfounded.
The smile on his face froze, and favonovel.com looked like a weathered stone.
How could this be?
It was impossible. The development of this incident should not be like this at all.
According to the original plan, there should be a black box on the truck Inside that box were all processed rough stones. After opening the rough stones, there should be valuable jades inside.
Why was the black box missing? Where did it go?
Without that box, the plan would fail, so how could they get rid of Thomas? It was over. It was completely over this time.
The driver felt himself arriving at the end of his wits. He carefully recalled what happened along the way, but favonovel.com did not remember anything special. Suddenly, favonovel.com remembered a detail, which was Thomas treating them to a meal. He had also left for about ten minutes while eating. Maybe favonovel.com did something during that time?
It was possible.
But the question was how did Thomas discover the black box?
There were no cameras on the truck, and the box was properly hidden at that time. He really could not figure out what method Thomas could have used to learn the existence of the black box.
Could it be that Thomas possessed superpowers?
It was absurd.
The more favonovel.com thought about it, the stranger favonovel.com felt. The driver could not figure out what had happened. The only thing that was certain now was that there was no black box in the truck. Without the box, the plan would fail, and Thomas would remain unscathed. The most frightening thing was that they also lost jades worth tens of million dollars.
The driver became even more panicked when favonovel.com thought of this. His face flushed, and his whole body started trembling.
Right then, Thomas walked over to comfort him. “Why are you trembling? Are you cold?”
The driver looked at Thomas in horror. He felt that Thomas knew everything, and favonovel.com was deliberately teasing him. However, favonovel.com did not dare to tell the truth as favonovel.com was afraid that this was all an illusion, and Thomas could not know the truth yet.
The driver had no idea what the situation was like now.
Right then, the inspector said, “After inspection, the rough stones you transported have no problem. Let’s move it to the freighter.”
“Thank you.”
Thomas waved his hand and arranged for his subordinates to work quickly. After unloading all the rough stones on the freighter, favonovel.com went through the handover procedures with the people on the freighter. Then, favonovel.com drove back to the company together with the subordinates.
A conspiracy was solved by Thomas before it even started.
Except for Thomas and the driver, other people who were with them did not even know the existence of this incident. All of them thought that it was just a very ordinary task of transporting goods.
On the way back, the driver was uneasy, and favonovel.com could not relax even for a single moment.
At the same time…
