The Bravest

Lin Jie went to Gangcun to report that someone had contacted him about a no-cost business, which was about the British and Americans detained in the so-called enemy country expatriate concentration camps.

"Mr. Gangcun, whether we should arrest the person or continue to negotiate business with the person who came, it's up to you to make the decision!"

"What do you think?" Gangcun pushed the question back to Lin Jie, indicating that he already had an idea and asking Lin Jie's opinion was just his habit of not making decisions easily.

"Mr. Gangcun, I have thought about it carefully. The value of the Europeans and Americans in the concentration camp has been squeezed dry. No one should care about them anymore. The risk is not great for us, so we can negotiate with them. But it depends on what price they offer and what they are willing to do. After all, risk is linked to income!"

Lin Jie analyzed the issue entirely from a businessman's perspective, blurring out the political factors involved. Otherwise, it would be difficult to convince Gangcun to agree.

"Well, what you said makes sense, but have you ever thought about the other party's purpose for doing this?" Gangcun is not a fool, and of course he will not be fooled so easily by Lin Jie.

"Mr. Gangcun, it's nothing more than that some people in Chongqing think that the Allies have the upper hand in Europe and want to lick the asses of Europeans and Americans."

Lin Jie said nonchalantly. In fact, what he meant was that Chongqing was trying to please the Europeans and Americans. There was no conspiracy involved. Another meaning was to remind Gangcun that the war would not last long. Making money was the bottom line.

Gangcun was playing with the empty teacup in his hand. He understood what Lin Jie meant, and he basically agreed with Lin Jie's analysis. What he had to consider now was how much money to charge and to what extent.

Lin Jie didn't dare to disturb Gangcun's thinking. He sat beside him, pouring tea and drinking it, quietly waiting for Gangcun's decision. If he couldn't convince Gangcun this time, he would find another opportunity to convince him with another set of arguments after a while. Lin Jie didn't dare to be too hasty, as that would cause Gangcun to doubt his true motives.

"Well, you can continue to talk to them. To show your sincerity, don't send anyone to follow you next time. They are just brokers. There is no point in arresting them." Gangcun still couldn't resist the temptation of Lin Jie's no-cost business.

The materials in the warehouse were almost cleared out, and it was impossible to conduct another city-wide unified inventory operation. If Gangcun dared to do that again, he would not only offend people, but someone might really want to kill him. So this long-term, no-cost business was just what Gangcun wanted. He didn't even have to share the profits with many people, he could just find a few key people to take it over. Why not do it?

"Mr. Gangcun, this is no problem, but you have to give me a price and a bottom line so that I can negotiate with the other party." Gangcun agreed, and Lin Jie secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't ask for too high a price. Let's get the business started first. However, we require settlement in gold bars or US dollars. The bottom line is that we cannot release the person. You can handle the rest. I don't need to go into detail about how to negotiate!"

Gangcun finally made a decision. Now it depends on whether Lin Jie can negotiate an acceptable result. Lin Jie's eyes glowed green:

"Gangcun-kun, I understand. Don't scare them away yet. You can increase the price gradually later. I believe they will gradually increase their demands. Business can only last long if it is mutually beneficial. Don't worry, I know what to do."

"Hahaha, Mr. Lin, you are born to be a businessman. If you can make this deal, I can give you 10%. But I have to make it clear first, you have to bear the risk. The most I can do is to say hello for you. Do you understand?"

Gangcun is not much older than Lin Jie, but he has already become a cunning and treacherous fox.

"Ahem, Gangcun-kun, you have to help cover it up. I'm a Chinese and don't have much confidence. I don't want to be squeezed dry by the people managing the concentration camp."

"Hahaha, don't worry, I will take care of it. And doesn't Michiko still have a title of Special Investigation Division? You can take her with you. Anyway, the benefits will stay in the family."

After Gangcun laughed, he patted Lin Jie's shoulder sourly. Whenever he talked about Michiko, he would imagine the scene of that beautiful woman enjoying herself under Lin Jie's crotch. Damn it, Michiko should have been his, but she fell into the hands of a pervert like Lin Jie.

Lin Jie didn't know that after so long, Gangcun was still thinking about Michiko. With Gangcun's permission, he could officially carry out the task assigned by the Military Control Commission. However, he couldn't lose his greedy personality, so Lin Jie said to Gangcun with a flattering face:

"Okamura-kun, if that's the case, shouldn't Section Chief Michiko also get a share? Her subordinates also need to eat..."

Before Lin Jie could finish his words, Gangcun, who was already unhappy, glared at him and said, "Get lost! You're thinking about splitting the money before you even start the business? You should support your own woman."

"I still support Miss Chiyoko." Lin Jie muttered in a low voice, but it could not escape the ears of Gangcun who was right in front of him.

"What did you say? How about you bring your expenses to me and I'll reimburse you?" Gangcun was really mad at his cheap brother-in-law. He was still fussy about such trivial matters. How much money could a little woman like Miss Chiyoko spend?

"Mr. Gangcun, it's just small amounts of money, there's no need for that." Lin Jie quickly covered it up with a grin.

"Oh, it's a small amount of money. I asked you to find two maids to serve Miss Chiyoko, but you found two old ladies to deal with me. Do you need this little money?"

Lin Jie was scolded by Gangcun, and he kept criticizing his mother in his heart. How could two maids end up well in Gangcun's hands? Lin Jie could not do such a thing.

"Mr. Gangcun, those two old maids used to be cooks for wealthy families. They can cook delicious dishes and serve people. I finally hired them at a high price. Miss Chiyoko, are you not satisfied?"

"Oh... he's pretty good at cooking, but I'm afraid he's too old to do well. Let me ask you, why did you hand over the business with the Yamaguchi family to Ma Lao San? Miss Yoshikawa even called me to complain, asking me if I looked down on the Yamaguchi family by sending a small pawn to deal with them. What's wrong with you?"

Gangcun thought that the two old ladies were really good at cooking, so he changed the subject and continued to criticize Lin Jie.

"I'm too busy! Besides, Ma Lao San is an old man who helps me with things. After the reorganization of the secret service headquarters, he had nowhere to go, so I sent him to help me follow up on the Yamaguchi family's business. With his experience, there will be no problem."

"Haha, is that what Miss Yoshikawa meant? She told me that you forgot about her. You are not the kind of guy who would take advantage of her and turn your back on her. I tell you, if you can't handle it, just give me the business. I have plenty of people to do the work."

"Mr. Gangcun, please don't accuse me. When did I turn my pants up and not recognize anyone? I never took them off." Lin Jie would definitely not take the blame for Yoshikawa Yoko.

"Then take it off. Which is more important, business or your two taels of flesh? I have told you so many times that the Yamaguchi family's business is very important. It is related to the retreat after the war. You must find Yoshikawa Yoko and explain it clearly to me right away."

Gangcun didn't understand why Yoshikawa Yoko cared so much about this perverted Lin Jie. "Isn't he just a little taller? I'm not bad either, I can satisfy you just the same. Is it because I'm not rough enough?" Gangcun remembered Michiko's screams in Lin Jie's room that night and began to doubt himself.

"Brother-in-law, I'm your brother-in-law, it's not right for you to do this!" Lin Jie was frightened by Gangcun's words. Is there any brother-in-law who lets his brother-in-law sell out his body? Lin Jie forgot that this was not the first time that Gangcun did this, otherwise Michiko would not have become Lin Jie's lover.

"Okay, you're already a woman, why are you pretending to be a saint? Anyway, go and deal with Yoko Yoshikawa. The Yamaguchi family's business must not go wrong, otherwise you won't be able to do anything."

Gangcun didn't want to talk to Lin Jie anymore. Isn't it good to have money to earn and women to sleep with? He was still making excuses. If Yoshikawa Yoko liked him, Gangcun would have done it long ago.
