Lu Ming's nose almost twisted with anger. This might really be what happened, something that would make even the leader of the Cao Gang feel troublesome. It must not be a trivial matter, and he might really be unable to help.
But can't we talk properly? Is it really necessary to confront him in person and hurt his self-esteem so much?
Yuan Mingzhu laughed secretly as she watched. Lu Ming and Ning Xiner were like natural enemies. They talked like cockfighters. They probably didn't get along with each other.
Ning Xiner became angry as soon as she saw Lu Ming. She was angry because she was angry. I'm afraid she didn't even know where the anger came from. Anyway, she just didn't like Lu Ming no matter how she looked at him.
Lu Ming did not refute for Yuan Mingzhu's sake and kept enduring, but the situation became awkward.
"Lu Ming, don't be angry, what I said is the truth." Ning Xiner added.
It was okay if she didn't add anything, but adding this sentence made Lu Ming even more hurt.
"Okay, let's just pretend I'm being sentimental and pretend I didn't say it. By the way, how come Miss Ning is willing to come to our house today?" Lu Ming was so angry that he forgot what Ning Xiner said just now.
"Didn't you say that our Caobang doesn't want to see you? This is actually a misunderstanding. The person who really doesn't want to see you is me, not our Caobang brothers, nor my eldest brother."
Lu Ming wrinkled his nose and narrowed his eyes, thinking that you don't want to see me. I already knew it. The lice on the bald man's head are obvious. What else needs to be explained?
Ning Xiner continued: "If you want to say why I don't want to see you, you should actually know it. Sister Mingzhu is a kind-hearted girl. Marrying someone like you is a waste."
"Sister Xin'er, what are you talking about?" Yuan Mingzhu didn't want to hear it anymore.
"Listen to me, that's what I really think. It would be careless for someone like me to marry you. No one will take advantage of anyone else," Ning Xiner said.
Lu Ming and Mingzhu were shocked. They didn't expect Ning Xiner, who had always been aloof, to say such a thing, and they didn't know what the real intention was.
Ning Xiner saw the expressions on the two people's faces and knew that she was too reckless and said the wrong thing in a confused manner.
Unconsciously, his face turned slightly red, and he quickly corrected himself: "Don't get me wrong, I just talked about people like me as a metaphor, not because I really want to marry you."
"I know what you said makes sense. For a person like me, it would be a waste for any woman to marry me. Maybe I should stay single." Lu Ming said sarcastically.
"No, I really don't mean that. I mean you still have advantages, but you are not as good as my sister." Ning Xiner hurriedly explained.
Yuan Mingzhu didn't speak, but looked at Ning Xiner, thinking that she doesn't really want to marry my Lu Ming, does she? She has been refusing to find a partner, and today she said such a meaningless sentence, what on earth is it?
mean.
But when I think about it, I find it funny. Ning Xin'er has always had a very bad opinion of Lu Ming. She almost kicked Lu Ming when her score just passed the passing line.
Why did Lu Ming suddenly get involved with him for no reason?
Lu Ming didn't think so. Ning Xiner didn't necessarily need any reason to dislike him. Sometimes there was no reason for a person to hate someone. Maybe she was upset by looking at his eyebrows and disgusted by looking at his nose.
This is also a kind of fate. It is fate that people can get together. Even if two people quarrel when they meet, it is also fate.
"Lu Ming, Sister Xin'er has been in a bad mood these days. She didn't mean to treat you like this." Yuan Mingzhu hurriedly interrupted.
"It's okay, I'm a thick-skinned person and can handle it." Lu Mingzhen was a little unhappy.
Speaking of hitting someone, Ning Xiner is here to slap someone in the face. Why? They are just members of the Cao Gang. They really don't have the qualifications.
If he hadn't been afraid that Mingzhu would be caught in the middle, and that he really owed Caobang a favor, he might have had an attack long ago.
"Lu Ming, it's like this. My eldest brother's business has a big problem. A batch of his guns have been seized by the customs. Can you help me think of something?" Yuan Mingzhu said.
"Mingzhu, what's the use of telling him? You can't tell outsiders about this." Ning Xiner was anxious and angry, stamping her feet.
In front of him, she actually said, "You can't tell outsiders." Oh my god, this Ning Xiner didn't regard him as one of her own at all.
However, this was indeed Caobang's family matter. After thinking about it, Lu Ming held it back and did not have an attack.
"Sister Xin'er, he has a lot of clever ideas. Maybe he can help come up with ideas. Even if he can't, there's no loss. Don't worry, he won't tell anyone." Yuan Mingzhu said.
Lu Ming understood that this must be due to the Cao Gang's bad luck, and a batch of smuggled arms was caught by Shanghai Customs.
"Tell me the situation. I may not be able to help, but I should be able to come up with ideas." Lu Ming said. Since Mingzhu An couldn't bear to speak out, he had to give her face.
"That's it." Ning Xiner said.
It turns out that the Cao Gang did something big this time, smuggling a batch of Springfield rifles, a batch of Browning machine guns, a batch of Thompson submachine guns, as well as a large amount of bullets and explosives from the United States.
The quantity is not small. There are a total of 100,000 Springfield rifles, 2,000 Browning machine guns, 10,000 Thompson submachine guns, millions of bullets, and tons of explosives.
"Do you want to stay open for three years but only open for three years?" After all, this is smuggling. Lu Ming was really shocked by the amount.
He originally thought that the Cao Gang's smuggling of weapons and ammunition meant getting dozens, or at least hundreds, of pistols, or old-fashioned rifles, but he never knew that they were so generous.
"With all these new weapons and equipment, do you have sales?" Lu Ming was very doubtful about this.
"Yes...it was the colored party that urgently needed this batch of arms. A private figure came forward to talk to Big Brother and asked for strict confidentiality." Yuan Mingzhu said with some anxiety.
"Colored?" Lu Ming understood.
It should be the Red Army of the Communist Party that needs to purchase this batch of weapons and ammunition, and the civil servants must be important civil figures who support the Red Army.
This is also understandable. The Red Army is in a fierce confrontation with the Central Army of the Nationalist Government, and the Nationalist Government has blocked the territory of the Red Army. It is certainly not easy for the Red Army to replenish weapons and ammunition.
"You guys really dare to do this. This is costing money rather than life." Lu Ming said sarcastically.
If only a small amount of guns flow into the black market, even if they are detected, they can be settled with money and there will not be much trouble. However, trafficking weapons to the Communist Party, although not directly providing them, is still collaborating with the Communist Party, and they will definitely be beheaded.
Yes, the National Government will not be lenient.
"Now that you know, let me tell you. This is not the first time we have done this business. This time I was negligent and it is all my fault. If I had not been negligent, I would not have been caught by the Shanghai Customs Anti-Smuggling Team.
." Ning Xiner said annoyed.
Lu Ming looked at Ning Xiner in surprise. He had always thought that Ning Xiner was just like Yuan Mingzhu, just eating, drinking and having fun all day long, drinking and dancing everywhere and not doing anything serious. He didn't expect that she was already doing big things at such a young age.
And it’s a big deal that will kill your head.
This suddenly changed Lu Ming's view of Ning Xiner. The woman in front of him was also a hero.
"Miss Ning, if you are willing to listen to my advice, get rid of the suspicion quickly and introduce a few scapegoats as a last resort, saying that it was your subordinates who did it secretly and you didn't know about it. You don't want the arms anymore and you have to admit your losses. Or
Protect people first." Lu Ming suggested sincerely.
"No, at worst, I will surrender to the customs and say that I did it without telling my brother. I would rather die than let my brothers take responsibility for me." Ning Xiner said with tears in her eyes.
"You're going to surrender? Do you think that's the end of it if you surrender and you can keep the Caobang? Let me tell you, if you really go in, you will have to confess everything in less than a day, and the Caobang will be wiped out by the government.
The decades-old foundation of the Cao Gang will be uprooted, and no one can escape, unless you are now on the run." Lu Ming told the truth, and it was true.
Lu Ming had seen all the instruments of torture in the police station. The sight of them was so horrifying that human flesh could not bear it.
The reason why there is a saying that torture is used to extract confessions is that once you are tortured, you will not listen to what you say, but what you will say.
Human willpower is limited, and most people will succumb to torture.
Under cruel torture, life is worse than death. Those who can bear it must have some kind of special spiritual support. It is a kind of energy.
