"Husband..." Shen Fanlei had witnessed the whole bloody battle and was still in fear. When she saw Ling Cang, she felt that she had found a safe support. Regardless of her father still beside her, she plunged into Ling Cang's arms: "I was scared just now. It kills me..."
Shen Minglin walked over, pointed at Carlo, and asked softly: "Who is this person?"
"My men,"
"Oh," Shen Minglin nodded with a pale face: "Awesome, very awesome..."
Ling Cang told Shen Fanlei that something big might happen, and asked one of his men to protect him. He also told Carlo to report his name directly after he went.
Shen Minglin saw Carlo's terrifying appearance and almost didn't dare to open the door. Finally, out of trust in Ling Cang, he let Carlo in. At this time, the Ju Shui Society launched a sneak attack and was completely destroyed by Carlo alone. .
Ling Cang didn't have time to be gentle with Shen Fanlei, so he hurriedly said: "I still have something to do," and went to the others.
Everyone was safe and sound. Lin Xuening and Zhang Yiting were not attacked, but they were frightened half to death by Feng Mo's appearance. The two girls never expected that Ling Cang would send such a person over. They hugged each other tightly and stared at Feng Mo.
Feng Mo was probably used to being feared by others, so he didn't take it seriously at all. He just patrolled around and deliberately kept a distance from the two girls.
When Ling Cang arrived, the two girls hugged each other. Ling Cang didn't know which one to hug, so he could only open his arms, one on each side.
"Husband..." Zhang Yiting looked at Feng Mo and asked cautiously: "Why do you have such subordinates?"
"Even though he looks scary, he is a very nice person," Ling Cang gently stroked Zhang Yiting's shoulder and said comfortingly: "Don't worry,"
"What happened?" Lin Xuening was more mature after all and immediately calmed down: "Why did you let the two of us get together and send someone to protect us?"
"There is a Japanese terrorist organization that wants to wreak havoc in Minghai. I am worried about your safety, so I must arrange it this way..." Ling Cang simplified the matter a bit, and was interrupted by a burst of cell phone ringing while he was talking.
The call was from Tong Zhengrong. As soon as Ling Cang picked up the call, he said straight away: "Ling Cang, you did a good job."
"Ah," Ling Cang was stunned: "Are you praising me or scolding me?"
"Praise you..." Tong Zhengrong really wanted to praise Ling Cang, but his tone was very heavy: "Fortunately you responded in time and sent the 03 brigade back,"
"what happens,"
Tong Zhengrong told Ling Cang that many dignitaries in Minghai were kidnapped, and some key departments were also affected. Because the 03 Brigade returned to defense in time, some losses were somewhat recovered, but many people were still kidnapped by the remnants of the Ju Shui Society, saying Seeing this, Tong Zhengrong felt quite annoyed: "Now the initiative is in the hands of the little devil. I don't know what he will do next."
"what you think,"
"Most of these powerful figures are dignitaries in the political and business circles. Stamping their feet can cause an earthquake in Minghai." After thinking for a moment, Tong Zhengrong analyzed: "I think the Ju Shui Society may use them to seek some political and economic benefits, or to arbitrarily Get information from all aspects,"
"I think that the Kikusui Society cannot seek any political benefits,"
"Oh," Tong Zhengrong asked strangely, "Why?"
"Not to mention that business figures do not have this right, even politicians cannot sign unequal treaties with them. Moreover, although these captured officials are considered high-ranking officials, they are all below the provincial level. Even if they are all dead, the country You can also immediately send a new group of people and take ten thousand steps back. Even if they sign something, the country will not acknowledge it. What age are these? Is it possible to bribe two officials to get a concession land or a treaty port? Or allow them to legally operate within the country," Ling Cang smiled and shook his head: "This is impossible,"
"It's really impossible,"
"So, Ju Shui will arrest political dignitaries, and the real purpose should be the other thing you mentioned, to obtain all kinds of intelligence."
"What about the economic benefits?"
"This is very possible," Ling Cang thought as he replied: "On the one hand, they will ask those important people in the business community to transfer benefits to Japanese companies; on the other hand, they may simply open their mouths and extort money."
"What do you think we should do,"
Ling Cang did not answer, but said with great emotion: "Miyamoto Tatsuzaki sacrificed his life in exchange for victory. From this point of view, I still admire him."
"Only the Japanese nation can do such a thing," Tong Zhengrong sighed and said meaningfully: "Your existence is indeed valuable."
"I'm glad you said that,"
"If it weren't for you, we would have suffered greater losses this time,"
Everything went as Ling Cang expected. In the next few days, the situation became more and more complicated.
On the surface, Minghai appears to be the same as before, with a developed economy and a stable life. However, many people have noticed that many high-ranking officials have disappeared collectively, and a series of changes have occurred in the business world, indicating that there is an undercurrent hidden under the calm.
None of the family members of the kidnapped persons called the police. The 03 Brigade learned about the case through other channels. Tong Zhengrong soon learned that Minghai’s cross-border economic and trade transactions had suddenly increased several times, and large companies had cooperated with some Japanese companies. Business signing contract on background.
The first was a construction group, which imported steel from Japan at twice the average market price. The quantity was large enough to last the group ten years, and according to the contract, the Japanese company would become its sole supplier in the future.
Tong Zhengrong was just feeling lucky that this contract did not have much impact. Soon another news came. A company that had just obtained the mining rights of an important rare earth mine suddenly announced the introduction of foreign investment, with Japanese capital taking the lead in the mining. In fact, this The company has sufficient strength and there is no need to do this. In addition, according to this contract, Japanese companies will process rare earths locally, successfully bypassing rare earth export quota restrictions.
Anyone with a strategic vision knows that China is a big country in rare earths. The rare earths exported over the years have supported the electronics and military industries of developed countries. In recent years, the country has realized that rare earths are irreplaceable and important strategic resources, so it has begun to control exports. , Japan was the first to be affected.
Tong Zhengrong ordered the Ministry of Land and Resources to conduct an audit and planned to cancel the company's rare earth mining rights. Then news came that the Japanese company planned to merge with Minghai's largest food company. Tong Zhengrong also ordered the Commerce Department to conduct an anti-monopoly investigation. He wanted to Stop this merger.
Similar contracts were signed one after another, and Tong Zhengrong soon became overwhelmed. These contracts contained huge benefits, but they were completely legal. Even though Tong Zhengrong could use administrative means to forcefully terminate some of them, he could not overturn them all. , because this is illegal and will be widely criticized, which will trigger a series of negative reactions. In addition, many aspects of affairs are not the responsibility of Tong Zhengrong at all, and some people at the top have begun to complain that Tong Zhengrong is reaching out everywhere.
In desperation, Tong Zhengrong called Ling Cang to the office and complained like a ton of trouble. He was a very tough person who shouldered important responsibilities. No matter how big the difficulties were, he would not take it easy. Speaking to others, this old soldier who was not intimidated by the hail of bullets was really stumped when faced with this invisible battle: "These contracts involve various fields, and I have never even heard of most of them. , I now face a large number of numbers every day. I could cope with it at first, but now I don’t understand what is going on at all. I only know how much money flows from where to where..."
"What are your plans,"
"I asked you to come just because I want to hear your opinion," Tong Zhengrong rarely gave up: "I really have no idea."
"I don't have any objections," Ling Cang shrugged and told Tong Zhengrong honestly: "Since I have dealt with the Japanese people, it can be said that this time the Japanese people are the most successful, taking their advantages and strengths to the extreme, of course. They are extremely despicable and shameless. They have set up a complete set of detailed plans and then attack from all aspects at the same time, which will definitely confuse us."
"That's what happened," Tong Zhengrong spread his hands and said with a frown: "The current situation is that wherever the bulge is, we press it down, but this is not a solution at all. We can only be led by the little devil. Walk,"
"There is only one solution, which is to rescue the kidnapped people,"
"I haven't been idle these days. I mobilized all the forces I could mobilize, but I still couldn't find out where the hostages were hiding..." Tong Zhengrong was about to continue talking when the phone on the desk rang. He picked it up and listened. After a while, the more he listened, the darker his face became. Finally, he put down the receiver, picked up the phone and threw it to the ground.
With a "bang" sound, the phone turned into countless fragments and scattered in all directions. The guards heard the sound and rushed in immediately. Seeing Tong Zhengrong's angry look, they quietly retreated.
Ling Cang still looked as if nothing had happened and didn't care about Tong Zhengrong's anger at all: "What's wrong?"
"The Japanese are asking for money," Tong Zhengrong paused and explained in detail: "Several wealthy families have received extortion letters, demanding that huge sums of money be transferred to Japan."
"Not only did the companies controlled by these people transfer profits, but they also directly asked their families for money..." Ling Cang smiled coldly: "Japanese people have a big appetite."
"Actually, the Japanese people have spoken a few days ago..." Tong Zhengrong patted the table before continuing: "But these wealthy families followed the instructions of the Japanese people to strictly keep secrets, and they also transferred the funds around and made several rounds. Circle, it turned out that we didn’t get the news until now,”
"Can we monitor the movement of these funds in Japan?"
"Yes," Tong Zhengrong said, slowly spreading his hands: "However, the transfer of the money is completely legal, and we have no reason to recover it."
"Even if you can't recover it, you still need to know what they used the money for,"
