During the Anti-Japanese War, the landlord's stupid son defied fate
Chapter 54: Manage relationships and spend money to avoid disasters
The next morning, there was a commotion in Zhang's house.
Director Zhang worked very hard until very late before going to bed, so he was feeling very tired. He dragged his tired body out of bed and prepared to greet the new day.
However, at this moment, a shocking news reached his ears: a thief actually broke into the mansion last night!
Not only that, everyone in Zhang's house was knocked unconscious.
Director Zhang's eyes widened in disbelief. "What? Thieves broke into my house? And knocked everyone unconscious?"
"Yes, sir. Moreover, the lock of the warehouse door was also pried open, but we dare not go in to check the situation rashly, so we came to ask you what to do." The butler answered cautiously.
He also realized something was wrong after waking up. After all, the back of his head still hurt a little, and many people did not get up on time to work. Only then did he realize something was wrong.
After he had investigated thoroughly, he came to report in a hurry. After all, he would not go to the backyard easily. After all, it was the place where the master and the mistress rested. He was afraid that if he saw something he shouldn't see, it would cause trouble.
"You useless thing! Hurry up and put on your clothes!" he shouted anxiously.
The second wife who had slept with him last night hurriedly helped him put on his clothes and watched him go out with fear in her eyes.
You know, that’s the treasure house of the family!
Although there are mechanisms in place, who can guarantee that the other party cannot break in?
He was quickly helped into the warehouse, and he felt a little relieved when he saw that the food and other daily necessities were safe and sound.
However, his eyes then fell on the entrance to the basement, and he was stunned to find that the door was open.
"Wait here for me, I'll go down and take a look at the situation."
He really didn't feel comfortable letting other people enter the basement, after all, there were some prohibited items in it.
Although private ownership of firearms is allowed, it is illegal to own too many guns. Those one hundred box guns cannot be seen in public.
He stepped into the basement cautiously, but found it empty. He froze as if struck by lightning, and then his vision went dark, and he fainted at the door.
"Ah! Come and save the master! Go and get a doctor! What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and act!"
The housekeeper rushed to Director Zhang in panic and tried to help him up.
At this time, two other servants came and helped Director Zhang back to the main house.
The second wife had just finished cleaning up when she saw her master being helped back, which scared her to death.
After all, the master fainted. What should we do? She panicked and asked with trembling body.
"Butler Li, what happened to the master?"
"Hey, Second Madam, there was a thief in the mansion last night. Everyone except you and the master was knocked unconscious, including me. I only realized something was wrong when I woke up this morning. The master has confirmed that the money in the basement was stolen. This is a big deal."
The housekeeper's words made her even more panicked. She followed him just because he was a high-ranking official with some money. Now you said he had no money and it had all been stolen. Isn't this going to kill me?
"Don't worry, Madam. I've already sent for the doctor and the police. Even if we turn the entire Dragon City upside down, we'll still find these thieves. They're so audacious! They actually dared to cause trouble in Master Zhang's mansion."
"Well, okay, you take care of it. I won't worry about it anymore. I'll just take care of the master." said the second wife.
What does she know as a woman? She just wants to live a better life and not be looked at like a dog when she goes out. She is not the legal wife, so she doesn't have any other thoughts.
Zhao Gang arrived early at the police station. He spent some money to meet the director.
"Are you the boss of Butler Liu?" Director Chen asked.
"Yes, Director Chen, the purpose of my coming to the provincial capital last night was to deal with this matter." Zhao Gang said with a smile.
"Hmph, deal with it? How to deal with it?" Director Chen asked.
"Well, you tell me how to deal with this. We'll go and deal with the six shops. Even if it's not good enough, we can't just give him a thousand and let it go. He thinks he's so great just because he's the director. He even ordered people to beat up our housekeeper Liu. Fortunately, I sent guards, otherwise he would have been the one who got beaten." Zhao Gang said.
"Haha, you make it sound easy. The ones being beaten are all Japanese. Do you know how difficult it is to mess with the Japanese?"
"Boy, this isn't just about a thousand dollars. It's about your family beating up the Japanese."
Zhao Gang resisted the urge to get angry and instead spoke with a smile.
"Director Chen, you are the leader of our community. You cannot allow outsiders to bully us. You understand this matter. It is not our fault. Now that it has come to this, what do you think we should do? As long as it can be resolved, we are willing to pay." Zhao Gang said.
"Oh, are you really willing to do it?" Director Chen said.
"um, yes."
Director Chen stood up and walked back and forth a few times with his hands behind his back before he sat back in his chair and said with a smile.
"I have a way, but it depends on whether you are willing." Director Chen said.
"You said, I'll agree as long as I can bear it." Zhao Gang said with a painful expression.
Director Chen knew there was hope when he saw him like this.
"Give me the restaurant as the middleman's fee. I'll take care of it for you. Give the rest of the shops to Young Master Zhang, and just give those six devils six thousand dollars to get rid of them."
"I think Mr. Zhao's family should be able to afford this little money, right? I know your father, and I know that you have some property in Pingyang County. At worst, you can just go back. You won't starve." Director Chen said with a smile.
Zhao Gang didn't expect the other party to have such a big appetite. That restaurant spent tens of thousands of dollars on horseback riding. It seems like you got the most.
"Director Chen, you're exaggerating. Although I don't have many friends in the government, I do know people. Provincial Commissioner Geng is currently in our county. I'm the county security captain, responsible for protecting his secretary. I'm said to be carrying out a secret mission under the governor's orders. I'll go back and tell the secretary, and he'll tell the governor. Your path to promotion will definitely not be smooth."
He had no choice but to say this. After all, he could solve the problem by paying money, but he couldn't let the other party take his things. It would be bad if this matter got out.
"Well, once this is done, I'll give you a 20% commission on the total cost, or you can name an amount and I'll give it directly. Take the man away today, and the case will be closed."
"Actually, I already reported this to our County Chief Wang before I left. After all, I have a mission to complete, so I had to explain the situation before I left. I'm telling you all this just to say that we shouldn't get into such a desperate situation. You just want money, and I'll give it to you. Why do you need our store? You can just buy another one when you have the money. That way, your reputation won't be damaged. What do you think?"
Zhao Gang's words made Director Chen fall into deep thought again. He was surprised. He didn't expect that the Zhao family had armed themselves in the local area and formed a security team, and also received the important task from County Magistrate Wang.
He knew Commissioner Geng, the governor's man, and he was indeed on official business in the county. Then he looked at Zhao Gang.
"Okay, you know how to use someone else's strength to your advantage. I'll give Commissioner Geng some face and ask you to pay me fifty thousand dollars. I'll take care of this matter for you. You can take all your people with you, but don't come back to Longcheng, or you'll get into trouble if those devils find you."
