Siheyuan: Returning to 61 to collect waste

He easily found an unguarded entrance and exit and sneaked in.

As soon as we entered the port area, the situation gradually became clear.

He explored the anchorages along the coastline, boat by boat, and often caught a glimpse of people of different skin colors gathered around the side of the boats, talking, as if chatting was part of their daily life.

They were not surprised at all and mistakenly thought that Ye Chuan was just a crew member of a ship taking a walk.

After walking for five or six minutes, he saw a large container ship about 100 meters long and painted bright red sitting steadily in the harbor. The deck was brightly lit and the ladder was lowered.

However, the ship was flying the flag of a Southeast Asian country.

As a person from the future, Ye Chuan naturally understood the meaning of this symbol.

The difference in where each ship is registered, where its destination is, and the status and rights represented by the flag may lead to different treatments in different ports.

He climbed up the ladder and just as he stepped onto the deck, he saw a middle-aged man in a sailing uniform concentrating on drawing a nautical chart in front of the dashboard. He noticed Ye Chuan and showed a puzzled look.

The other party asked in stuttering English: "Who are you looking for?"

Since they thought Ye Chuan might be a resident of an island country but did not understand Japanese, they communicated in English.

Ye Chuan smiled and responded: "Comrade, I'm looking for Captain Hou Yongping."

Hearing the standard Mandarin, the crew member was stunned for a few seconds, and then his expression relaxed, "Chinese compatriots? Please follow me."

The crew member led Ye Chuan to the cockpit, where a middle-aged man in a white shirt was working hard.

Hearing the call, he raised his eyes and looked at Ye Chuan with confusion in his eyes. "Hello, Captain Hou, I am Ye Chuan."

Hearing the name "Ye Chuan", he was shocked and asked in disbelief, "You said your name is Ye Chuan? Director Ye?"

He received instructions from a domestic satellite call that the ship needed to be sailed to Tokyo Port, and that a director named Ye Chuan would put a piece of equipment into six designated boxes and ship it back to the country.

He originally thought that the visitor would be a director who was at least thirty years old, but the young man in front of him, wearing trendy sportswear and looking under twenty years old, was he the Ye Chuan he mentioned?

"It's Captain Hou. I am the Ye Chuan you mentioned."

The captain sighed: "I didn't expect Director Ye to be so young. He is indeed very promising."

Ye Chuan smiled and said, “Captain Hou, we can save the chat for later.

First, I want to ask if you know where the six boxes are now?"

So, Hou Yongping led Ye Chuan to the deck and pointed to something not far away and said, "Director, look at that row of red containers.

The six blue ones at the bottom are what you mentioned. Numbers one to three contain fertilizer bags, and numbers four to six contain old clothes.

Box 4 is empty, just place your equipment there."

After remembering the location, Ye Chuan continued to ask: "One more question, how long will the ship stay in the port?"

Hou Yongping glanced at the watch on his wrist. "It's probably a little over twenty hours. It should be some time after midnight."

Ye Chuan nodded in agreement and said, "Captain, once the workers enter the cabin during the day, we can proceed with loading as usual.

I will arrange for someone to load the equipment into the container, and I will take the ship back to China and come to see you before twelve o'clock."

"Okay, no questions asked. I've already given the order and will clean up the room for the director soon."

“Thank you, Captain.

Goodbye, we'll see you at the watch time."

After saying that, Ye Chuan left the "Huaxia" and walked towards the container area.

Looking at his disappearing back, Hou Yongping was quite impressed. The young man in front of him was already a leader and had a bright future.

His ten years as a captain taught him that this satellite phone was of great significance. In the past, important machinery was often transported to the country via it, and each one was an extremely valuable asset.

And now, he is the youngest person with a calm mind that Hou Yongping has ever seen overseas.

Ye Chuan has not yet realized how much Hou Yongping means to him.

He slowly approached the six containers and quickly found the one marked "4".

The dawn is just breaking now and time is running out. We can’t delay any longer or we will be exposed.

Ye Chuan gently held the container, and as his thoughts flowed, all the CNC machine tools and related accessories in the system space were put into the container.

After finishing the task, Ye Chuan took a deep breath and strode towards the port exit.

When passing through the gate, the security personnel came out and asked sternly: "What is your crew ID? Where did it come from? Show it to me!"

Ye Chuan replied directly in fluent Japanese: "I am the representative of the cargo owner. I just came to the port to handle some things. Can't you see me?"

The security guard had no doubts when he heard this.

How could the representative of the cargo owner be someone of his level who could offend him? So he respectfully made way.

You can't blame the security guards either. Ye Chuan is fluent in Japanese, and even speaks a bit of Hokkaido dialect, so he naturally wouldn't arouse their vigilance.

When leaving the port, he did not take the car as that would only attract attention, and he absolutely did not want to implicate Rie Aoi.

The port was not far from Rie Aoi's residence, but it took him half an hour to get back.

When I got home, dawn was already here.

I thought Li Hui was still asleep at this time, but unexpectedly she was already waiting for him at the door, holding a pair of slippers in one hand. "Ye Chuan, go take a bath first, and you can have dinner later." Li Hui greeted him with a smile on her face.

Ye Chuan felt no guilt for being taken care of. He went to the bathroom, where the bathtub was slowly filling with water. "How did you know I was back?" Ye Chuan wondered. "I saw it through the window." Rie Aoi answered simply.

Soon, the bathtub was filled and the water temperature was just right. Ye Chuan closed his eyes and lay in the hot water, immersing himself in this comfortable temperature, like a sweet dream after a long thirst.

Rie Aoi handed him some water and gently massaged his shoulders and neck from behind. This scene made him deeply relaxed.

It was such a treat! He thought about going back to the courtyard and getting a bathtub. The thought of sharing a romantic bubble bath with Tong Yao immediately made him feel extremely comfortable.

After massaging her for more than ten minutes, Rie Aoi went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

Until Ye Chuan was somewhat dazed, the smell of food and Rie Aoi's voice lingered in his ears: "You worked too hard last night and didn't get enough rest."

"I rested immediately after you left and set the alarm for four o'clock, knowing that you needed to catch up on your sleep."

Ye Chuan nodded to show his understanding.

I guess Rie Aoi has been waiting at the window for his return since four o'clock.

After wiping off the water stains on their bodies, the two walked into the restaurant, where a sumptuous breakfast was already placed in front of them. "Come on, turn on the TV!"

Rie Aoi immediately turned on the TV in the restaurant, and the morning news had already started. "Mr. Ye, you've been working hard all night, so go and have a rest. I'll wake you up for lunch."

However, Ye Chuan shook his head and refused: "I plan to leave tonight. I don't want to waste time sleeping."

"Mr. Ye, I'm so happy for you!" Rie Aoi's tone was filled with a hint of emotion.

At this moment, the news anchor held a manuscript in his hand, but continued to report with a puzzled expression on his face: "I have the latest news for all viewers. Just last night, almost all the stores of Songping Jewelry in the city were robbed, and only the store on the second floor of a shopping mall was saved.

The police reported that all the doors and windows of the store were intact and the alarm system was not triggered. As the cabinets and goods in the store mysteriously disappeared, the police have not found any relevant clues until now.

After hearing the news, Rie Aoi looked at Ye Chuan in shock, knowing in her heart that this might be the other party's doing.

Ye Chuan smiled gently and didn't explain much. He just took out a ring and a carving tool from the system space.

When Rie Aoi saw the ring, her eyes lit up. Born into the upper class of the island country, she was used to seeing fine things, and she could tell at a glance that the gemstone inlaid in it was no ordinary thing.

He had stumbled upon this item in the display window of the flagship store of Matsudaira Jewelry. Although he did not know its value, it was obviously extremely valuable. "At least a 5-carat yellow diamond!" Rie Aoi exclaimed in surprise. "Is it really a yellow diamond?" As for the knowledge of diamonds, reports from his previous life had revealed to him that the sky-high auction price of yellow diamonds could reach thousands or even hundreds of millions of dollars. "Well, that is an extremely rare yellow diamond. The larger it is, the more valuable it is.

This one should be no less than 5 carats, no, maybe more than 6 carats," Rie Aoi deduced seriously.

Smiling, Ye Chuan carved some beautiful Japanese characters on the inside of the ring, and then handed it to Rie Aoi: "Aoi, this ring is for you."

After receiving the gift, the emotional Rie Aoi looked back and saw the words engraved on the inside of the ring: "Given to my beloved Aoi", and below the signature was the familiar Chinese character "Chuan". "Mr. Ye, I——" After knowing the news that Ye Chuan was leaving, despite the rational warning, Rie Aoi had been forbearing in her emotions.

She once thought that the other party was only taking advantage of her identity, but now, the emotions that surged in her heart at that moment made her unable to suppress it.

Since the first time we met, the feeling of being moved by him has been engraved in my heart like a brand. Although I have only known him for a few days, I have fallen deeply in love with this Chinese man.

Seeing the vows on the ring, tears could not stop falling, and she finally understood his feelings. "Silly girl, why are you crying?" He gently stroked Rie Aoi's hair, his eyes full of love, and his words were so gentle that they made people feel at ease.

Rie Aoi suddenly threw herself into his arms, sobbing and confessing: "I thought you were good to me... Mr. Ye, I thought I would live alone and have unrequited love."

Hugging the beauty, Ye Chuan responded warmly: "If I didn't have special feelings for you, I wouldn't have chosen to accompany you upstairs that night.

But in China, I already have a wife and a child on the way, and I’m worried that I’ll be indebted to this relationship.

That’s why I’m struggling a little bit.”

"I am not afraid. As long as I have had this love, it will be the most memorable thing in my life."

At the same time, at the entrance of Matsudaira Jewelry Flagship Store, Matsudaira Saya was stunned, staring at the empty store, his face pale, his expression as if he was on the verge of life and death. "How could this happen? My darling!" He uttered desperate words through his trembling lips.

The most prominent store on this island, Matsudaira Jewelry, was robbed. A seven-carat yellow diamond ring worth a fortune was stolen. "Father, what happened?" Matsudaira Ichiro learned about the incident at his flagship store through TV news. He was suspicious and drove to the store in a hurry. "I don't know." Matsudaira Sawa was confused. Did he realize that this series of events might be caused by his son Matsudaira Rieki?
