The Bravest

In the car, Lao Zhou suddenly asked about Liu Sheng. Although Lin Jie appeared calm on the surface, there were huge waves in his heart.

"Don't get me wrong, Xiaojie. I didn't spy on you. It was only when you handed over the inspection team to a little girl that I noticed Liu Sheng was missing. But I remind you that Wu Lian is your legal wife. Do you understand what I mean?"

Old Zhou turned his head and looked at Lin Jie with a warning look. Ye Wulian was his student and he was the one who arranged her for Lin Jie. He would never allow Lin Jie to abandon her.

"We are fine. Do you understand, eldest son and grandson?" Lin Jie breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that everything was under Lao Zhou's surveillance. However, Lin Jie also became alert. He had been guarding against the Japanese and ignored the vigilance against the Military Control Commission. He was really careless.

"It's good that you know this. A wife who has shared the hardships of life should not be divorced. This has been the rule for thousands of years. I don't care how you deal with other women, but you must remember this and don't make things difficult for me. Get out of the car."

Lao Zhou parked the car on the side of the street and warned Lin Jie one last time.

"Old Zhou, I know what happened in Manchuria. Don't be too sad. I will protect Wu Lian. I'm leaving now."

Lin Jie suddenly understood why Lao Zhou lost his composure. The students who had reached the front line had either disappeared without a trace or had received bad news. How could he allow others to bully the only student who was still within his sight?

"Well, I'm relieved that you're all well. Go back and spend more time with her when you have time."

Old Zhou watched Lin Jie go away and took a deep breath. In order to protect Ye Wulian and Lin Jie, he had shielded all personnel from this plan, including his wife and assistant.

Lao Zhou was prepared that if he was exposed, he would have no choice but to die. If he died, all clues would be cut off, and there would be no evidence pointing to Lin Jie, but loneliness would follow, especially after hearing the bad news a few days ago that another student had died for his country, Lao Zhou almost collapsed.

……

As soon as Lin Jie returned to the police station, he felt the solemn atmosphere of the inspection team and Liu Ruyan was roaring loudly in the yard.

"Song Qi, disperse all the people in your second brigade. Liu Yidao, you are responsible for the people in the dark, and you must contact friends in the underworld for help. No matter what, you must find the director before dark. I authorize you to open fire in the name of your sister-in-law. No matter who is on the other side, as long as they threaten the safety of the director, open fire and save people immediately if you have the chance. If you don't have the chance, keep an eye on their whereabouts and send someone back immediately to transfer people over. Do you understand?"

"Brother is back..." Liu Yidao was the first to shout as Lin Jie appeared. Liu Ruyan's body trembled, and she turned around suddenly and found that Lin Jie had walked behind her.

"Where the hell have you been? Why did you come back just now?" Liu Ruyan pounced on Lin Jie with red eyes and pounded his chest hard.

"Okay, I'm fine, aren't I? You were so awesome just now, keep it up." Lin Jie joked.

Liu Ruyan pushed Lin Jie away, wiped her tears, turned around and shouted at the brothers who were watching the excitement: "What are you looking at? You have nothing to do. Go back to your posts immediately. And you, Liu Yidao, go and notify Zhao Bin to withdraw the people!"

"Yes, sister-in-law..." Lin Jie came back, and everyone felt relieved and was in the mood to play, so a lot of calls of sister-in-law were heard.

"What are you yelling about? This is the police station. Call me Secretary Liu, do you understand? Disband." Liu Ruyan said and ran away. Lin Jie must have heard her calling herself sister-in-law in front of the brothers. It must be embarrassing. But calling her brother sounded nice, much better than calling her Secretary Liu.

……

"Mr. Gangcun, ten gold bars will be used to support external contacts and improve the lives of ten people for three months. The living expenses will be calculated separately after three months. This is the sincerity of the other party. The follow-up will depend on the results."

Lin Jie placed ten gold bars on Gangcun's desk and reported the progress of the transaction.

"I heard you're going to start a big fight? There's no need! And you need to keep an eye on your secretary. Don't mobilize both the black and white forces to search the whole city for the slightest sign of trouble. She also authorized people to open fire on anyone. If you were here with me, would she open fire to rob people? Who gave her the power? Do you think you're more powerful than Li Shiqun back then?"

It turned out that Gangcun was aware of every move of the inspection team. Faced with the fanatics of Lin Jie's brothers, Gangcun had to warn Lin Jie to make him behave himself.

"Mr. Gangcun, it's just a crazy little girl. Don't take it to heart. I will discipline her. What should we do next?" Lin Jie perfunctorily brought the matter back to the topic.

"Anyway, you better keep an eye on the people and don't cause any trouble. Also, there's no need to arrange for someone to follow us next time. You have to be honest when doing business."

Gangcun started talking about integrity when he saw the gold bars. He put away eight of them and pushed the remaining two back to Lin Jie: "This is your 10%, and the other one is for the activity fund. This is integrity. Only with integrity can we have long-term cooperation. Do you understand?"

The biggest characteristic of Gangcun is that he is generous to those who can help him with things. He will share the profits after receiving the money, and never drag his feet. That's why he has won over a large group of people and his relationship is getting bigger and bigger. It's also because of this that he can get along well with everyone.

"Understood. Then, Mr. Gangcun, what should we do next? Should we select ten representative people to make arrangements?"

"Well, if you take the money, of course you have to do the job, otherwise there won't be a next time. Tell me what you think."

"Mr. Gangcun, I want to start the pilot project in the Pudong concentration camp. After all, it is within my jurisdiction. More importantly, there is an old acquaintance of ours there, who showed a lot of sincerity in the beginning."

"You mean Citibank Card Smith? Hahaha, he did show a lot of sincerity, and it's worth it that you thought of him first. Well, it's good to take care of an old acquaintance. So, come back the day after tomorrow morning, and I'll give you a special investigation order. Then you can take Michiko to the Pudong concentration camp. You can choose the ten people yourself. I'll take care of the senior guards, and you can take care of the people below. It doesn't matter whether you make money this time, just open the way first."

"Okay, I'll go back and check the old information. There should be quite a few people in the Pudong concentration camp. We have screened out those people, so we can save a lot. I don't think the other party will care about those minions."

"Of course. Otherwise, why would they look for you? Isn't it because of the list you have?"

Gangcun had thought things through very clearly. Before occupying the concession, Lin Jie and his gang had already checked all the European and American people with some status in the concession. In addition to those who had left, there were still many people who stayed behind or did not have time to leave. They were now detained in concentration camps. These were the best targets for trading.

"Hehe, I didn't expect to deal with them again. It's really fate. I'm leaving." Lin Jie sighed proudly and left Gangcun's office.

"It's still fate. Maybe I need to shave it again." Gangcun secretly despised Lin Jie's shamelessness.

Two days later, Lin Jie and Michiko appeared in Gangcun's office again.

"Mr. Lin, this is a warrant from the Special High Police. You can show it to them, but you have to take it back. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Lin Jie knew that Gangcun didn't want to let others get hold of the handle.

"I have negotiated with someone. Only two of you are allowed in. You are not allowed to bring weapons, and the supplies you bring must be inspected. The letters cannot contain sensitive issues, and the photos will be taken by the guards. You can go in and out three days a week."

"I understand." The conditions were already good, and Lin Jie was quite satisfied.

"Remember, don't make further demands, take it slow. Only talk after everyone sees the money." Gangcun was worried that Lin Jie would act on his own, so he repeatedly warned Lin Jie.

"Gangcun-kun, slow and steady wins the race. Don't worry, I know what to do."

"Well, let's go."

Lin Jie turned around and walked out with Michiko, who remained silent. Gangcun stared at the swaying figure as she left, and couldn't help but curse Lin Jie inwardly. "Damn it, you actually dared to show off in front of me, aren't you afraid that I will take you back?"

It's not impossible for Gangcun to take Michiko back, but there's no need to fall out over a woman. After scolding Lin Jie, Gangcun opened the drawer and looked at the nine gold bars. His mood immediately improved. No matter how beautiful a woman is, she will grow old, and only gold is forever.
