The Bravest

Lin Jie submitted a simple execution plan for a mission he didn't care about, but he didn't expect the higher-ups to make a big fuss about it and treat it as a diplomatic incident.

After Lin Jie complained a few times, he was severely lectured by Lao Zhou. He had no choice but to make a statement.

"Okay, I will resolutely carry out Boss Dai's orders. But you have to explain this to your superiors in advance. If you still want to rescue people, the possibility is not great." Lin Jie did not forget to give Lao Zhou a shot of prevention. He was afraid that the higher-ups would suddenly reach some agreement with the British and Americans, which would be troublesome.

"Well, I understand your difficulties. Don't worry, I will find a suitable time to explain it to Director Mao and Boss Dai."

Lao Zhou agreed to Lin Jie's request, and thinking about Lin Jie's indignant look just now, he began to appease him: "Xiao Jie, Boss Dai has seen your work in the past few years, and Director Mao has praised you many times. When this plan goes smoothly, I will ask the higher-ups for credit for you, and your military rank should be raised."

"Old Zhou, you know I'm not complaining about this. I'm just under a lot of pressure. I don't have any other thoughts."

"I understand. I also know that you are not doing this for the sake of this. However, the country will certainly not mistreat its meritorious officials. What is yours is yours. Victory is just around the corner. Let's work harder and witness history together."

Old Zhou's voice was not loud, but he was extremely excited. Lin Jie was also infected by Old Zhou's emotions, and he shouted in a low voice with a firm look:

"Victory will definitely belong to us"

Old Zhou looked at Lin Jie with satisfaction. He was the one who discovered this young man. Although he liked to complain, it also showed his loyalty.

If young people have no temper and are always submissive, how can they dare to fight the Japanese? Lao Zhou is not afraid that Lin Jie is dissatisfied with the corruption in the government. With him guiding him, Lin Jie will not go astray. Wasn't he so radical when he was young? With age and experience, people will naturally mature slowly.

……

Two days later, Lin Jie took the opportunity to hand over the money for the smuggled goods to Gangcun and mysteriously hinted to Gangcun that he had an important matter to discuss in private.

"Ahem, Sanpu, you go and do your work first." Gangcun understood Lin Jie's look and sent Sanpu, the secretary who was in charge of counting the payment, away. There were some things that Gangcun couldn't let Sanpu know, because everyone was responsible for their own separate tasks.

"Okay, Gangcun-kun, Lin-san, I'll go to the account first, you two can chat slowly."

After Miura left and closed the office door, Gangcun spoke: "Just tell me what you want to say. You don't have to keep it secret."

"Mr. Gangcun, someone contacted me." Lin Jie deliberately whetted Gangcun's appetite and spoke vaguely so that people could not understand.

"Who contacted you? Is there a big buyer? Do you want a lot of goods? Are there enough supplies in the warehouse?" Gangcun is now thinking about selling goods and making money.

During this period, this group of people made a lot of money, and Gangcun's reputation in the circle was even higher. Moreover, he was the one who arranged all this, and Lin Jie, who was in charge of the specific affairs, was his man, so he must have made a lot of money from it.

Looking at Lin Jie's eyes glowing green, I thought he had found another big client?

"Mr. Gangcun, I'm not the buyer. This time the request is quite special. But if it can be done, it will be a long-term business with no capital investment. I'm a little unsure and dare not agree. I want to ask Mr. Gangcun for instructions."

"No-cost business? Lin Jie, are you looking for death?" Gangcun was not happy at all. Instead, he stared at Lin Jie with sharp eyes. There is no such thing as no-cost business in the world, unless it is selling information.

"Ah!" Lin Jie certainly considered Gangcun's reaction, but his shocked expression was also expressed appropriately.

"Tell me the truth, is someone over there looking for you? Have they sent anyone to keep an eye on you?" Gangcun stopped threatening Lin Jie. Since Lin Jie chose to report to him, it wouldn't be considered a betrayal.

"The other party was well prepared and was a master. He even lost Michiko." This was a scene arranged by Lin Jie in advance. How could Michiko, who was kept in the dark, not lose him?

Gangcun saw that Lin Jie had taken measures, although they were unsuccessful, but it also showed that Lin Jie was not prepared to contact him privately. As for whether Lin Jie was lying, Gangcun would naturally find a way to verify it, and he believed that Lin Jie also understood this.

"The person has been lost, why are you telling me this?" Gangcun did not ask Lin Jie what the purpose of his visit was, but waited for Lin Jie to report it.

"Mr. Gangcun, aren't you curious about what the person who came to see me wants?" Lin Jie was trying to whet Gangcun's appetite, and indeed succeeded in arousing Gangcun's anger.

"Why, has someone tried to turn you against me? Do you want to raise your status with me, or do you want to drag me down with you? Believe it or not, I will throw you into the gendarmerie jail."

"Mr. Gangcun, listen to me, this business is good and has a lot of potential."

As long as Gangcun threatened him openly, Lin Jie was not afraid. He approached Gangcun with a flattering face and explained in a low voice: "Mr. Gangcun, we don't need supplies, nor do we exchange intelligence. This is about the British and Americans in the concentration camp."

"Oh, tell me more about it." Since there was no need to exchange intelligence, Gangcun became interested. Gangcun's theory was very strange. He believed that corruption was normal. If he didn't take advantage of others, they would. As long as he didn't sell intelligence, he wouldn't be considered a traitor to the empire.

"Mr. Gangcun, I don't know how these people found out that I have a good relationship with the British and Americans, so they came to me and wanted to get in touch with the people in the concentration camp through me. Of course, they are willing to pay."

Lin Jie made it seem like he had a good relationship with the British and Americans after extorting them from them. Even Gangcun felt embarrassed when he heard it.

"Hahaha... Lin-san, are you sure you have a good relationship with her?"

"Mr. Gangcun, there is a Chinese saying that goes, 'No friendship without fighting'. At least the people who come here think that I am trustworthy." Lin Jie's face was as thick as a city wall and he didn't care about Gangcun's teasing at all.

"Haha, that's true. After all, you took the money and helped them do something. It's better to find you than to find someone you haven't dealt with before. Tell me what they want."

"Gangcun-kun, they don't have a fixed goal, they just want to improve the treatment of some people inside."

"Tell me in more detail, where did these people come from? How much did they pay?" Upon hearing this, Gangcun felt that there was indeed something to be done.

Although the concentration camps were strictly guarded, they had been detained for two years and not many people cared about them anymore. At most, they were kept as hostages. As long as there was money, the guards would be happy for someone to ask them to do something.

"Mr. Gangcun, the person who came here doesn't look like he is from the Military Control Commission. He should just be a middleman. I guess Chongqing has reached some agreement with the British and Americans, so they dare not agree to it, and the remuneration has not been discussed in detail."

"Haha, do you dare to agree to this? If you didn't leave some room for negotiation, how could you have lost the person?" Gangcun thought he saw through Lin Jie and believed that Lin Jie had left room for negotiation next time. The so-called tracking was just to show him his attitude.

"Hehe, I thought that arresting a middleman would be useless, and letting him go would be insignificant. I didn't expect that I couldn't hide it from Gangcun-kun. But I believe he will come to me again, so I came to ask Gangcun-kun, should I arrest him or talk to them next time."
