An hour later, Li Yunsheng appeared outside the Liu family villa, and then knocked directly on the door. Hearing the sound of footsteps inside, he waited patiently outside the door.
After a while, a middle-aged woman dressed as a servant opened the courtyard door.
The woman was a stranger, probably a new servant of the Liu family, so she didn't know Li Yunsheng, so she asked, "Who are you looking for, sir?"
Li Yunsheng replied with a smile: "I am a relative of the Liu family. I wonder if Uncle Liu is at home."
The woman immediately said: "Sir, please come in. I have just come home. May I ask your name?"
Since the Liu family was not a wealthy family and the current situation was not very good, the woman did not have any doubts and simply let Li Yunsheng in.
Li Yunsheng followed the woman inside and said, "My surname is Li, and I can be considered a member of the Liu family."
While talking, the two of them walked into the living room. The woman first asked Li Yunsheng to sit down, and then went to the study next to her to look for Liu Zhongyi.
A minute later, Liu Zhongyi, who was dressed at home, walked in. He was very surprised when he saw Li Yunsheng sitting in the living room. He said with a little joy: "Yunsheng is here. When did you come to Tianjin? Why don't you come to Tianjin?"
Let me know in advance."
When Liu Zhongyi came out, Li Yunsheng had already stood up and showed respect for the old man. After all, the relationship between the two parties was unusual. As soon as the other party finished speaking, he quickly replied: "My nephew just arrived in Tianjin not long ago. I just took some time today."
Come visit your old man."
Liu Zhongyi said a few polite words, pulled Li Yunsheng into the study, and then asked solemnly: "Yunsheng, do you have any mission when you come to Tianjin?"
Liu Zhongyi knew what Li Yunsheng did, and he also knew that he would not come to Tianjin for no reason, so he asked this question.
Due to Liu Zhongyi's patriotic sentiments and the special relationship between the two, Li Yunsheng made some inquiries and said directly: "This time I came to Tianjin, I did have some tasks, and in the next two years, I may be stationed in North China.
"
Liu Zhongyi's expression changed immediately, and then he said with concern: "Most of the territory in North China is occupied by the Japanese. It is really dangerous for you to stay in North China. Listen to my uncle and quickly get rid of your connections and leave this dangerous place.
"
Hearing Liu Zhongyi's words, Li Yunsheng had some emotions. He thought that his future father-in-law was really good. When he heard about this, the first thing he considered was his own safety. It seems that the ancients said that there are three aspects of love, which is indeed very reasonable.
.
However, with his current status, he could not be mobilized by just moving around. Moreover, Li Yunsheng still wanted to stay in North China and cause trouble for the Japanese. How could he listen to Liu Zhongyi? So he said: "Uncle Liu, don't worry, I will be careful."
, nothing will happen.”
Seeing Li Yunsheng's indifferent reaction, Liu Zhongyi continued to persuade: "Yunsheng, you may not know that just a few days ago, the Tianjin branch of your Military Command Bureau was taken over by the Japanese, so staying in North China is really a waste of time.
too dangerous."
Li Yunsheng said confidently: "It's okay. I have fought with the Japanese several times and I am sure that they will not be found. Moreover, the military order is difficult. Shangfeng sent me to North China, which is not something I can refute."
After saying these words, Li Yunsheng saw that Liu Zhongyi wanted to persuade him, so he changed the topic and said: "After I came to Tianjin, I heard that Uncle Liu was in trouble, so I came here this time not only to see you, but also to
Let’s understand the situation and see if there’s anything we can do to help.”
Considering Liu Zhongyi's reputation, Li Yunsheng spoke with a somewhat tactful tone. After all, the relationship between the two people was extraordinary.
But what surprised Li Yunsheng was that Liu Zhongyi was very direct. He sighed and then told the story. The situation was similar to what Meng Dong said, but with a few more details.
After explaining the matter, Liu Zhongyi said with emotion: "It's all because I didn't listen to your good advice and wanted to take advantage of the war to make a fortune, so I got into trouble. Now it's too late to regret it."
The reason why Liu Zhongyi didn't hide anything was because he hoped that Li Yunsheng could find a way to help. After all, the Military Command Bureau was very powerful and had many people it could contact, so it was very likely that foreigners could be found to help.
And in this era, being engaged means you are half a family, so in Liu Zhongyi's heart, he never regarded Li Yunsheng as an outsider.
Seeing Liu Zhongyi being so direct, Li Yunsheng no longer had any scruples and said simply: "Uncle Liu, this matter is not difficult to solve. All we have to do is sell this batch of supplies."
Liu Zhongyi sighed and said: "Now this batch of supplies has been targeted by the Japanese. No one dares to take over. After all, this batch of supplies is worth millions. No one wants to take risks, but those powerful foreigners don't want to do it for this."
The batch of supplies offended the Japanese, so it is not easy to find a buyer."
Li Yunsheng smiled and said: "I can help uncle sell these things, so you don't have to worry."
Liu Zhongyi asked doubtfully: "Yunsheng, who are you planning to sell this batch of supplies to? There are not many people in Tianjin today who have the ability to eat so much, not to mention that this move will offend the Japanese."
Li Yunsheng said casually: "This batch of materials will naturally be transported to the Kuomintang-controlled area for sale. You may not know that supplies in the Kuomintang-controlled area are in very short supply now."
Liu Zhongyi asked in surprise: "The Japanese are very careful. How are you going to transport these things out of Tianjin?"
Li Yunsheng said confidently: "This is my business, uncle, don't worry."
Seeing Li Yunsheng's confident expression, Liu Zhongyi didn't ask any more questions. After all, he knew that people in the Military Command Bureau had their own confidentiality regulations.
After that, Li Yunsheng asked about the specific quantity and price of this batch of materials. After finding out, he said: "Uncle Liu, the value of this batch of goods is about 35 million. According to the current exchange rate, that is
It’s 1.7 million U.S. dollars. Now I’ll give you a deposit of 500,000 U.S. dollars, and I’ll give you the rest after a while.”
After saying these words, Li Yunsheng took out a check from his arms and handed it over casually.
This check was prepared before arriving to help the Liu family tide over the difficulties.
Liu Zhongyi took the check and looked at it, and found that it was indeed a cash check from Citibank. He said with a little emotion: "Yunsheng, it seems that you have been prepared for this. I'm afraid you came here specifically to help.
"
Liu Zhongyi was not a confused person. Seeing that Li Yunsheng was so well prepared, he naturally understood the reason.
Now that Liu Zhongyi had guessed it, Li Yunsheng no longer concealed it and said directly: "I did know that uncle was in trouble, so I came here to help. However, this batch of supplies still needs to be stored with uncle first. After I have made arrangements, I will send it to you."
It transports away.”
Naturally, Liu Zhongyi would not refuse this. After all, with these five hundred thousand US dollars, not only can he pay off the foreign debt, but there will also be a part of the balance, so that the Liu family will not go bankrupt no matter what.
Moreover, Li Yunsheng's act of providing help in times of need moved Liu Zhongyi even more, so he said: "Yunsheng, this batch of supplies is yours now, but this 500,000 yuan is the full payment, and you don't need to raise money."
Already."
Just when Li Yunsheng was about to refuse, Liu Zhongyi continued: "You don't have to refuse. This five hundred thousand is almost the same as what I spent to buy supplies. I am already grateful that you can do your best to help me this time. How can I do this unjust thing?"
It will cost you a lot of money, and it will take a lot of effort for you to transport these things to the rear, so the rest will be considered your hard work."
Liu Zhongyi's words were categorical and could not tolerate any rejection. However, Li Yunsheng sighed that his future father-in-law was really a good person, so he no longer refused, but talked about another topic: "Uncle Liu, now the Japanese occupy
After arriving in Tianjin, sooner or later we will attack the concessions, so my nephew still suggests that you'd better move your family to the rear."
As soon as Li Yunsheng finished speaking, Liu Zhongyi said solemnly: "You mean that the Japanese will go to war with Britain, France and other countries."
Li Yunsheng said with certainty: "The situation in Europe is unstable now. Germany is constantly challenging the bottom line of Britain and France, so the war will break out soon. By then, the British and French colonies in Asia will be like a piece of fat in front of the Japanese. You
Are you saying they won't be tempted?
As far as I know, Japan is colluding with Germany, and because the Japanese continue to protest, Germany no longer provides us with weapons, so I conclude that after the war breaks out in Europe, the Japanese will definitely attack the British and French territories in Asia."
Liu Zhongyi nodded and said simply: "I understand, my dear nephew, don't worry, after you finish processing this batch of supplies, I will move my family to the rear."
Now Liu Zhongyi was quite convinced by Li Yunsheng's opinions, and he also knew that Li Yunsheng was engaged in intelligence, so he would naturally have some hidden sources of information, so he decisively decided to move his family.
With Liu Zhongyi's affirmative answer, Li Yunsheng felt relieved. As for Liu Zhongyi's decision to leave after he had finished handling the supplies, Li Yunsheng had no objection. After all, the Japanese had already set their sights on this batch of supplies. If Liu Zhongyi left suddenly,
It will definitely make the Japanese wary.
Thinking that it would be some time before the Japanese attacked the concession, Li Yunsheng did not refuse, and then talked to Liu Zhongyi about other things.
About half an hour later, there was a knock on the study door, and then a woman's voice came from outside: "Dad, I heard that there is a guest at home, I don't know who it is."
Hearing this voice, Liu Zhongyi immediately said: "It's my daughter. He just went out and is coming back now." Then he said to the outside through the door: "You just come in, it's not someone else who comes."
As soon as Liu Zhongyi finished speaking, the door was opened from the outside, and then a woman wearing a white dress walked in. Although the woman was wearing ordinary clothes and did not wear any jewelry, it could not hide his beauty.
, especially that cold temperament, makes any man have a desire to conquer.
