"...Oh, oh, oh, oh...no, no, no...it seems like I have a bad stomach...hurry up and stop in front..."
The car was driving slowly. The curtains on both sides of the car were pulled open without any gaps in the back seat. A middle-aged man was holding his stomach, his face full of pain. He was hunched over, his hands on the front seat, his face
He gave the driver twisted instructions.
"Director, have you been poisoned by someone?" The young man in the passenger seat leaned forward with an anxious look on his face.
"...You can't...hope for me, okay?"
The middle-aged man was a little speechless. He gave him a sharp look and said, "Everyone eats the same food. If there is a problem, no one can escape it. I just have a gastrointestinal discomfort and I can't hold it in anymore!"
"...Uh..." The young man rubbed his nose in embarrassment, feeling a little at a loss. This joke made him want to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
Under the direction of the director, the driver stopped in front of a store next to an entertainment venue. The main reason was that the sign of the entertainment venue was conspicuous and there was a lot of open space for parking nearby.
The car hadn't even stopped yet! The director opened the door, hunched over his stomach and ran quickly to the hotel. The young man also got out of the car and chased after him.
Naturally, the hotel didn't mention that it didn't have toilets. Perhaps because of what they were wearing and the car parked at the door, the service staff didn't feel embarrassed and pointed them to the staff reception area on the first floor.
"Director, what are you doing?" The young man helped the director to the bathroom in a hurry. When he saw that there was no one inside, the director's expression immediately returned to normal and his waist straightened up.
The director didn't say much, but took off his coat, revealing another piece of clothing underneath. He also took out a thinner coat and asked the young man to put it on.
The young man looked suspicious and full of questions, but the director had already taken action and checked the situation outside the bathroom window.
"Hurry up and change. Accompany me to meet someone. Don't waste any time. What's urgent is to meet your own people. If you don't go, you can stay here to cover me!"
As he said that, the director had already started to climb through the window. When the young man saw this, he had to quickly put on his clothes and go over to help.
"...Oh..." The director shouted softly as he jumped down from the window. The ground behind him was a bit different from the foundation of the building, but it wasn't too short. He was half an old man and he almost screamed when he jumped.
For a young man, this shouldn't be too easy. He helped the director up and immediately followed his instructions. He quickly walked out of the small gate in the wall and came out to a small alley.
After twisting and turning, I came to another main road, summoned two three-wheeled rickshaws, and urged them to their destination.
Of course, that was not the final destination. Three to five minutes later, the two paid and got out of the car, walked through a straight short alley, and came to another street.
After waiting for a while, a tram arrived as scheduled. The two of them immediately got on the bus and sat for another seven or eight minutes. Then they got off the train and walked through several alleys, the front and back doors of several shops, and entered a small cafe.
.
"I have admired the great name for so long! Today I finally saw the real Buddha..."
After asking the young man to wait outside, the director found a private room, knocked on the door, locked the door, and then greeted the slightly swarthy man in front of him with some compliments.
Lin Mo also said a few polite words and said seriously: "The situation is not optimistic, so let's cut the story short and get to the point. How is the situation here now?"
After hearing this, the director looked ashamed, shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "The situation can only be said to be very bad. I heard before that you were unwilling to contact us, and I felt quite uncomfortable.
But after you restrained and distracted the Japanese people, we had time to take a closer look inside, and found out that the house was full of demons, and it was almost rotten to the core.
As for confidentiality, I can only say that if the Japanese wanted to know what underwear I was wearing, it would probably not be difficult at all. Even if there was a hole in my underwear, they might know it before me."
Having said this, the director rubbed his face, his expression of helplessness and powerlessness made people moved.
"Of course, it's not about how many people were infiltrated and instigated by the other party, but that the internal situation was already in chaos. After several confrontations, it became even more chaotic. The other party could get the information they wanted without any effort at all.
In addition, we are exposed to each other, and every move we make may still be watched at any time. To be honest, you really shouldn’t take the risk of contacting me. Although you have your wise guidance, I can’t guarantee whether
I really got rid of him."
"...No problem..." Lin Mo waved his hand and said: "Even if the other party comes, I am sure to get rid of him or simply deal with him. It will not affect him.
This trip to Shanghai, your work is also an important one, no matter what! You have to get in touch to understand the situation. If possible, I would like to know about the internal investigation."
After hearing this, the director thought about it and said: "The internal investigation has yielded results, and several people have been found to have been planted by the other party or coerced and induced to rebel.
There are also many other suspicious targets, some of whom only have conclusive evidence, but they have not taken action yet, fearing that they might alert others and make some of them dormant."
"...It makes sense..." Lin Mo nodded, but changed the subject and said, "But you just said that the secrets inside can't be hidden from others, not to mention that the action is not small.
I'm afraid that everything that should be known and shouldn't be known will be known to others. Except to a certain extent, it will prevent the other party from easily leaking secrets to the outside world. It is estimated that there will not be much progress in the internal investigation.
It is still recommended to move, whether it is to startle the snake, or to relax a little afterwards, or to lure the snake out of its hole, no matter how the other party moves, only by moving can you have a chance."
"...Okay..." The director nodded and said nothing more! He said directly: "I will prepare to take action when I get back."
He didn't find a reason, didn't say the reason, and didn't shirk the rejection. He just followed the good advice. After all, the other party took this risk to contact him, which almost showed that there was no room for negotiation on the matter. The director was still clear about this.
Lin Mo nodded and said: "But in this case, we have to be on guard against the outside world, and be more careful to guard against the Japanese. If you make a move, it is equivalent to officially participating in this confrontation, and the Japanese will most likely look for an opportunity to strike."
The director also nodded directly and said: "I will move directly into the dormitory tomorrow and won't be able to come out. I will ask others to do the same for the time being!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Lin Mo nodded and said nothing more. The other party was so cooperative. Although he knew that the above might have given orders, this performance was still beyond Lin Mo's expectations.
"Let's talk about another thing. You should have discussed ransom and other issues with the Japanese before, right? How did you discuss it at that time? I want to hear it. This matter will have to be discussed later. It was not in your report. I want to know about it, okay.
Reference reference.”
When the director heard this, he couldn't help but show a bit of embarrassment on his face, and his face turned slightly red. It was obvious that this matter was a bit fishy, and he was embarrassed not only to report it to his superiors.
"Some lions started talking loudly. We started fighting with each other several times and suffered losses. Suddenly we heard that the other party wanted to redeem him, so we immediately quoted a sky-high price.
As a result, the other party will be annoyed. Of course, depending on the subsequent circumstances, the other party may not agree easily to whatever price we offer, and may even attack and force us to make concessions.
After all, this kind of thing is about asking for a high price and then paying back the money, but the other person turned out to be very arrogant. If you didn’t get what he wanted, he would fuck you up. We also had tempers, and we didn’t let go in the end.”
Lin Mo nodded slightly, without commenting on what they did, and asked: "No matter how high the price is, there is always a number, right? What price did you pay that makes it so difficult for you to talk about it?"
The director raised a finger, no longer hiding it, and said clearly: "One hundred catties of gold! Not one hundred taels, not one hundred rods, but one hundred catties."
"...I heard you clearly..." Lin Mo nodded and said with a smile: "This lion's mouth is indeed wide enough. You are selling people like gold! And that person may weigh a hundred pounds now!"
Lin Mo also shook his head a little, and marked gold. This was based on the gold standard of 978 fineness prevailing in Shanghai, and it was the most traded target in the gold exchange.
One pound is sixteen taels, and one hundred pounds is one thousand six hundred taels. Before the price of silver rose, the price of one tael of gold was between eighty and ninety silver dollars. Calculated at eighty, it was one hundred and twenty-eight thousand oceans.
It is indeed ridiculously expensive to redeem a person with this, but as the director said, the bargaining and fighting to the end may have something to do with it, but not much.
"What price will we ask for later?" Seeing that Lin Mo didn't say anything for a while, the director took the lead and asked.
"One hundred kilograms!" Lin Mo directly reported the number without any hesitation.
"How much?" The director looked at Lin Mo in astonishment. He couldn't believe his ears. Was this an auditory hallucination?
"You heard me right, even if it's 100 kilograms, it's still a gold price! It's a fixed price. You can't keep insisting on 100 kilograms. We should be lower than this, right?"
After confirming that he heard correctly, the director was a little worried and said: "Will they be willing? If we sell people like gold, they can become so crazy. You have doubled it again, this..."
Lin Mo saw this and comforted him: "I am confident that we will not fall behind in a head-to-head confrontation. No matter how hard it is, the other party can only sit down and talk.
As for money, as long as the other party wants to change people, they will always find a way on their own. What? You are too timid to talk about it? "
When the director heard this, he gritted his teeth and nodded. Anyway, there were people rushing in front to fight with each other. He was just a lion opening his mouth, so what was there to be afraid of?
The two chatted about some details and other matters, and then the director went out first, took the young man who was watching outside, and left directly, retracing his steps.
Entering a remote alley, the young man finally couldn't help it, came over and asked in a low voice.
"Director, are those the people you just met? They don't want to interact with us! Why are they here to see you?"
"How many times have I told you this? Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Can you blindly know these things?"
The director gave him a few words of training, then saw the depressed look on his face and said, "I can't figure out what the other party's purpose is? I can't see through it, but I can't see through it!"
Remember the day before yesterday! The man who knocked on the car window and sold newspapers in the morning had a letter in the newspaper, which guided me on this journey."
The director stopped as he pointed out, without revealing too much, speeding up, taking a bus and changing roads, and finally returned to the hotel where he came from.
But inside the store, because there was no sign of the two of them nearly an hour after entering, the anxious driver and another guard were sweating profusely while looking for them in the store.
"I heard suspicious footsteps in the alley behind. I was worried that something might go wrong, so I took him out and hid him. Now he dares to come out! Thank you both."
The director gave a random reason, which was considered as an excuse! The two of them didn't say much after hearing this. They were not young people, and they couldn't inquire about some things.
The four of them returned to the car, pretending that nothing had happened. On the way, the director went to a pharmacy to buy antidiarrheal medicine before letting the car drive back to the station.
