Seeing him lean closer, Scarlett quickly grabbed the handle and stepped out of the car.

With a slight smile, she said, “I’m not thirsty right now, but if Mr. Hodges is, he should head back to the office. After all,

there are plenty of people eager to quench Mr. Hodges‘ thirst!” With that, she moved to close the door.

However, Hugo swiftly blocked the door with his hand. “But the only person I want to find is you!”

Scarlett smiled slightly, “Sorry, not interested right now.” She shut the door with a bang.

“So you’re saying not now, but maybe later?” Hugo picked up on her words.

Scarlett looked at him silently, her gaze assessing.

Hugo, being perceptive, quickly responded, “Alright, I’ll come find you once I’m done with work!”

Scarlett nodded, “Okay, I’ll wait for you!”

Hugo narrowed his eyes, speaking softly, “Scarlett, you said it yourself.”

Though he knew she was always tough–talking, he also knew there was always a chance with Scarlett’s words.

At least he had a chance!

With that thought, his eyes filled with possessiveness.

Meanwhile, Scarlett smiled at him, her lips curving slightly, clearly uninterested in continuing their interaction. She turned

and walked away.

Hugo watched her retreating figure and called out, “I can’t make it tonight, but I’ll come find you tomorrow!”

Scarlett didn’t even glance back, simply waved her hand and headed into the hallway.

Only after she disappeared from view did Hugo look away.

If he didn’t have plans tonight, he might have followed her right in.

Thinking about it, his gaze sharpened. He picked up his phone and made a call.

“How’s everything over there?”

“Good, we’ve got them covered!”

After hanging up, Hugo glanced in the direction Scarlett had gone, his eyes narrowing, a smirk playing on his lips.

Wait for me!

He shifted his focus, started the car, and drove off.

Upstairs.

Scarlett stood on the balcony, watching below. She kept her eyes on Hugo’s car until it disappeared from sight, her gaze

narrowing.

With him gone, she wondered when–or if–she would return.

Hugo, I’m sorry.

I’ll leave Grandpa and the little ones to you.

With this thought, Scarlett looked away, her gaze fixed on the distant horizon.

Late night.

The dock.

The lights were dim.

A car was parked in a discreet spot.

Inside, First was watching the dock through binoculars.

“Any movement yet?” Tara asked.

First shook his head.

Tara crossed her legs, “Are you sure it’s tonight?”

“Absolutely, one hundred percent sure!”

With that, Tara sat up and took the binoculars from him to look for herself.

“Where’s the intel from?”

“Well…”

“Not convenient to say?” Tara asked.

“It’s not that, it’s… you’ll find out soon enough!” First replied.

Tara glanced at him, “Keeping secrets, huh?”

First remained silent.

“But if the intel is so accurate, why hasn’t anyone shown up yet?” Tara asked.

“I don’t know, maybe there’s been a last–minute change?”

At that moment, Tara put down the binoculars, “Maybe it got canceled, who knows!”

First furrowed his brow.

From the back seat, Second spoke up, “Let’s wait a bit longer. Usually, these things happen late at night, right?”

Tara glanced at him, smirking, “You seem to know a lot!”

Before Second could respond, Fourth chimed in, “That’s how it always goes in the TV shows!”

Tara was momentarily speechless.

Second nodded, “That’s true.”

They were getting ahead of themselves.

At that moment, Fourth grabbed the binoculars, “Let me take a look!”

Tara handed them over without hesitation.

Fourth scanned the area, looking around.

Suddenly, she spoke up, “Hey, how many people are there?”

“Seven or eight, I think,” First replied, “But tonight, we’re dealing with more than just seven or eight!”

“What do you mean?” Tara asked.

“Well…”

“I see them! A bunch of foreigners!” Fourth exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, First immediately perked up, “Let me see!”

Fourth handed him the binoculars, and First took a closer look.

“What do you see?” Tara asked, now fully alert.

First focused on the direction of the dock, where indeed five or six burly individuals were wandering around, scanning the

area.

“Yeah, it definitely showed up!”

“What about the goods?” Tara asked.

“The person is here, so the goods must be on their way!” First replied.

Tara took a deep breath, a hint of excitement in her eyes. “We’ve always done risky stuff, but this is the first time doing something sneaky like this. It’s kind of thrilling!”

Hearing this, Second raised an eyebrow. “You call this sneaky? What kind of chickens and dogs are worth this much?”

Fourth couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Tara paused, “…Then what do you call it?”

Second thought for a moment. “Robbing the rich to help the poor?”

Tara was skeptical, “…Who’s poor?”

They were practically swimming in wealth, weren’t they?

“Of course, it’s the poor regions that are poor. After we pull this off, we’ll donate a big chunk to them!” Second said.

Tara listened and let out a sarcastic laugh. “You two are definitely brothers, always finding a way to justify your shameless

actions.”

Second smiled slightly, “I’ll take that as a compliment!”

“Take it as one, because it is!”

While they were bantering, First glanced toward the dock and then around them, his brow furrowing with concern.

“Why aren’t they here yet?” Tara Green asked, glancing at him.

First was peering through binoculars. “When do you plan to make a move?”

“Let’s wait a bit longer.”

“Wait for what?”

“Wait for the other group to show up.”

Tara thought for a moment, then asked, “You mentioned earlier that we’re facing more than one group. What do you

mean?”

First lowered the binoculars. “Exactly what you think.”

“You mean, another group is coming to snatch the goods tonight?”

First hesitated, then nodded.

Tara frowned, “Who are they? Wait, how do you know another group is coming?”

First looked at her and smiled slightly.

Tara took a deep breath. “So, even now, you can’t tell me?”

“It’s not that I can’t…” First hesitated, unsure how to explain.

“Come on, just tell me-

”

“Hey, there’s movement!” Second suddenly interrupted them. “There’s activity on the water. Looks like they’re getting ready too!”

First listened, his brow furrowed. He couldn’t deny the tension; it was his first time doing something like this, and

excitement mingled with nerves.

Fourth turned to First. “What do we do next, bro?”

“Let’s wait a bit longer, until the other group shows up,” First said.

Everyone in the car looked at him, unsure of what he was planning.
