"You shouldn't leave those gold bars behind." Cheng, who was sitting in the passenger seat, couldn't help but said as soon as Yamazaki got in the car at the door of the government office.
Unexpectedly, Yamazaki smiled and asked, "Aren't you curious about what he would do with those gold bars?"
"Not interested." Cheng replied frankly.
"But there are people who are interested."
"Yeah?"
"Don't you want to know, Mr. Acheng, who that person is?"
"No, I told you, I'm not interested."
After hearing this, Yamazaki nodded with satisfaction, "It seems that Chief Fujita really saw the right person. Acheng-kun is indeed a smart man and knows how to avoid risks."
"This is my strength." Cheng replied with a smile.
"I admit, I have always had great doubts about you before, but now I have begun to somewhat believe in your loyalty to Chief Fujita."
"Really? That's really my honor." Cheng is not that naive and believes her lies. Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will only take root and sprout and will never be eliminated so easily.
"Drive!" Following Yamazaki's order, the driver in charge stepped on the accelerator and drove the car out of the government office.
At the same time, Minglou was packing his things in the office when there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
Before he finished speaking, a middle-aged man wearing a pair of flower-rimmed glasses, slightly stout and wearing a suit and leather shoes walked in from outside.
"Sir Ming, this is our first meeting, so please take good care of me!"
Although the person who came here spoke fluent Chinese, it was still easy to tell from his words and deeds after entering the door that this person was an out-and-out Japanese, so Minglou couldn't help but frowned and asked: "
Who are you?"
"Former Senior Advisor to the War Guidance Section, Kenji Aoki."
"It turns out to be Aoki-kun. I have admired you for a long time. I wonder what you can learn from Aoki-kun during this visit?"
"Don't take your advice seriously, I'm here to report to you!"
"Reporting?" Minglou couldn't help being stunned after hearing this, "Qingmu-kun, I think you must have made a mistake? I have already submitted my resignation to the Standing Committee of the Central Committee and resigned from all my duties. Therefore, you should not ask me
Instead of reporting for duty, I should report to my successor, right?"
Before he finished speaking, Aoki Kenji took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Minglou with both hands.
When Minglou took it apart and took a look, his eyes widened involuntarily, "How...how could this happen? Who gave this order?"
"Chairman Wang personally issued an order not only to reject your previously submitted resignation, but also to appoint you as the deputy director of the Economic Department of the new government. The formal appointment will arrive in a few days. And I will serve as your senior adviser and concurrently
Personal assistant to assist you with daily affairs."
"That's it... Then, from now on, I'll leave the secretariat to you, Aoki-kun." Minglou said with "surprise and joy".
Kenji Aoki stood at attention with a snap and said loudly: "Yes!"
…
One night a few days later, a fully loaded British cargo ship quietly passed Wusongkou Customs and slowly sailed into the customs pier under the vast darkness.
On the pier, there were already people waiting there for a long time.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Andre. How's it going? Did the journey go smoothly?" As soon as the cargo ship docked, Li Qiang jumped on board and enthusiastically put his hand on the tall man.
On the shoulders of the red-nosed cargo ship captain, pleasantries began.
But Andrei knocked Li Qiang's hand off and said angrily: "It's so smooth! It's not like you don't know that the sea is very windy and rough at this time, and my boat almost capsized!"
Li Qiang, however, did not accept his words at all, "Come on! If your boat is still a small boat, then other people's boats can only be regarded as sampans? If you want to raise the price, just say so, there is no need to pay.
I’m going around and around!”
As soon as he said this, Andre smiled and said, "Seriously, dad, among my many customers, you are the only one who dares to talk to me like this. I'll add 30% of your shipping fee. Isn't it too much?"
Li Qiang didn't talk nonsense to him, he directly stretched out a finger and said, "10%!"
"Boy, Dad, although I appreciate you very much, don't go too far, 20%!"
"Just 10%!" Li Qiang continued to insist, "How about you just pull the cargo on the ship back the way it came from."
"Okay, okay! If you get what you want, I'll be damn unlucky! You guys, unload!"
Following Andre's order, the sailors on the ship responded in unison and began to get busy.
"Here you go!" Li Qiang watched the sailors unloading the goods and threw a heavy money bag to Andre, who was smoking beside him.
Although Andre was still a little angry, the look on his face became much better after he got the money bag. However, he frowned again and asked in confusion: "I said
Boy, didn’t you just say 10%? Why did you give me so much more? Why, your conscience found out?”
However, Li Qiang just smiled and said nothing and did not give any explanation.
At this moment, the searchlight on the pier suddenly turned on, illuminating the entire pier as if it were daytime.
Before anyone could figure out what was going on, a large number of Japanese military police appeared out of nowhere and poured in from all directions like a tide, and almost surrounded the entire dock in the blink of an eye.
"Ouch! I said Akagi-kun, how did you... come up with such a big battle?" Despite the sudden incident, Li Qiang was still the first to walk over calmly and led the group with a smile.
Akagi Shigeyuki asked.
Akagi Shigeyuki also replied very politely: "Oh, it's nothing. I just received a tip that someone was smuggling at the customs terminal, so I brought someone over to take a look."
"Smuggling?" After hearing this, Li Qiang quickly turned to Andre and the sailors on the boat and asked, "Have you seen anyone smuggling?"
Andre and others immediately shook their heads like rattles and denied it.
Li Qiang turned around, but before he could speak, Akagi Shigeyuki lowered his face and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Aqiang, you and I are both smart people, so stop pretending to be stupid with me.
I’m stunned, tell me, what’s on board?”
"Nothing, just...just some local specialties..."
"Souvenir?" Akagi Shigeyuki couldn't help but chuckle after hearing this, "Here, please open the box for me!"
"Yes!" Before he finished speaking, Akagi Shigeyuki's men began to pry open the boxes that had been unloaded from the ship without saying a word.
The pry didn't matter, everyone including Shigeyuki Akagi was dumbfounded after seeing the contents of the box.
What was inside was neither arms nor prohibited items, but rocks of different sizes, but very heavy on the hand!
"Is this the souvenir you are talking about?" Akagi Shigeyuki finally came to his senses and immediately pointed at the stones and asked Li Qiang.
"Yes! This is the Gorgonda stone that I paid a lot of money to get back from India."
Even Shigeyuki Akagi has never heard of "Gorgonda Stone", let alone anyone else.
But even so, Akagi Shigeyuki still didn't give up, and immediately ordered all the boxes on the ship to be moved down, unpacked and checked one by one, and after confirming that all the boxes contained that kind of stone, he took them out directly.
The command knife at his waist struck them hard.
As a result, instead of splitting the stones, his command knife broke into several gaps.
After struggling like this for most of the night, Akagi Shigeyuki finally stopped going crazy. But even so, he still ordered all the Gorgonda Stones to be confiscated and loaded into the truck without leaving the ground.
No matter how Li Qiang explained, it was of no avail.
And Akagi Shigeyuki probably never thought that while he was still exerting force on those Golgonda stones like a clown, on the high seas not far from Wusongkou Customs, Cheng and A Ping, who had made up as a waiter, were
Standing on the deck of the "Tom", leaning against the railing, they exchanged information.
"What's in the box?" Ah Cheng lit a cigarette and asked straight to the point.
"I don't know." Aping replied truthfully.
"You don't even know? Are you too cautious?" At this point, Acheng paused for a moment before continuing, "Then isn't he afraid of us secretly opening the box?"
"Of course not. His actual words were: These boxes have been specially treated. If someone has tampered with them, the consignee will be able to tell at a glance, so I advise you not to take any chances with them."
"The Ming family's industry has begun to be transferred?" Acheng asked again.
"Well, it started a long time ago."
"But as far as I know, the transfer destination does not seem to be Hong Kong."
"Yes, but I don't know where exactly. I'm afraid only the team leader and Sister Haitang know about this matter."
"It seems like you haven't really integrated into the core of the God of Wealth team yet. It's no wonder. After all, you've only been here for a short time, so it's normal for him to be on guard against you. Maybe this time is a test he has set for you."
Hearing this, Aping suddenly nodded.
At five o'clock in the morning, just after dawn, just as the "Tom" slowly drove into the customs pier, the banknote transport truck of the Hong Kong Bank also drove into the pier as always.
Not much time left, so I slowly drove out of the dock with my gambling boat loaded with the previous day's income, and walked away...
In the gloomy and cold torture room, Guo Qiyun was chained to the torture rack.
Wang Manchun sat opposite him, looking at the young man in front of him who had just walked away from the hell gate, and slowly said: "Guo Qiyun, do you know where this place is?"
Guo Qiyun smiled contemptuously, "Isn't it your gangster's den?"
As soon as these words came out, Wang Manchun was not annoyed, but nodded with a smile and said: "Then do you know that there are only two results after entering prison No. 76, either to become a convert and leave standing; or to die to the end,
Lie down and go out. You can choose where to go!"
"Stop talking nonsense. Now that I have fallen into your hands, I have no intention of getting out alive. I advise you not to waste your efforts!" Guo Qiyun replied resolutely.
"Very well, to be honest, I appreciate people with backbone. But in my opinion, as long as you are a human being, you have weaknesses, and no one is exception, including you of course." At this point, Wang Manchun paused for a moment.
, and then said word by word, "I heard that you used to run a photo studio and had a sweetheart who was a starlet. What was his name?"
"You!" Before Wang Manchun could finish speaking, Guo Qiyun's eyes widened and he gritted his teeth and said, "Shameless!"
Wang Manchun didn't take it seriously at all, "Guo Qiyun, I advise you that instead of having the strength to scold me, you should think carefully about whether you want to hook up with your beautiful lover for your ridiculous beliefs."
However, before he finished speaking, Guo Qiyun snorted and then simply turned his head to one side.
The interrogation also reached a stalemate.
At the same time, in the listening room next to the interrogation room, middle and high-level cadres from the Special High School Division and No. 76 were gathering together to monitor the interrogation process in the torture room. This made the originally spacious listening room actually
Somewhat crowded.
"Mr. Fujita, it seems that this Guo Qiyun is a die-hard element. If we don't take some extraordinary measures, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get him to speak!" Just as the interrogation reached a stalemate, Li Shiqun couldn't help but said to Fujita Yoshimasa.
.
However, Fujita Yoshimasa did not express his position immediately. Instead, he turned to look at Minglou beside him and asked: "Mr. Ming, what do you think?"
"I agree with Director Li's proposal."
Hearing this, Fujita Yoshimasa nodded slightly, and Nanzo Yunzi on the side winked at Takagi. The latter immediately understood, and then ordered someone to escort a fashionably dressed woman into the interrogation room and bring her to Guo
In front of Qiyun.
"Xiao Min!"
"Riding the clouds!"
As soon as he saw the woman, Guo Qiyun could no longer calm down. The woman also felt distressed after seeing Guo Qiyun covered in blood. However, no matter how hard she struggled, she could not break away from the two Japanese military policemen behind her.
Without control, he could only shout Guo Qiyun's name with all his strength.
"What a touching scene!" Wang Manchun said while clapping her hands, "Guo Qiyun, I can see that you love this woman very much, and she also loves you very much. To be honest, this kind of relationship really makes me envious.
Ah! If it were me, I would never let the one I love get even the slightest bit of harm no matter what, are you right?"
"Wang Manchun! What do you want?"
Wang Manchun shook her finger at him, "It's not what I want, but what you want. Are you going to be ruthless and ignore your best friend's life and death and continue to fight to the end, or are you going to protect her from harm and cooperate with us obediently?"
As soon as these words came out, Guo Qiyun fell into silence, as if he was caught in a battle between heaven and man, while Wang Manchun stood up and walked to Guo Qiyun and said word by word: "Tell me, who is your superior?
How many accomplices do you have? How to deliver information? Also, who is Venomous Scorpion?"
