Dreaming back to 1949, the great powers were there to deceive us

Zhao Zhi sent Huasheng away and was just about to lie down when he suddenly found that a few more people were brought into the detention room.

"Boss Zhu, Mr. Chen, Manager Guo?"

Zhao Zhi felt that it was unreal. These people were all wealthy people with considerable wealth. They were usually cautious in their words and actions, so how could they be arrested?

Boss Zhu said coldly with a blank expression,

"Someone reported that we planned the riot half a month ago!"

In an instant, Zhao Zhi thought of a lot of things, and four words appeared in his mind: Revenge will be settled later.

Not long after, several more well-known bosses were arrested.

This further confirmed Zhao Zhi's judgment.

Not only him, everyone has this guess: these robbers are starting to find excuses to reap profits again!

Mr. Chen, who runs a textile business, said with regret,

"Bao'an County once invited me to invest and build a factory. I was hesitant at the time and wanted to wait and see. But I waited and waited, and it actually led me to this opportunity."

Everyone saw Peanut selling off his assets, and the foreigners took advantage of the situation and made a fortune.

Even so, Zhao Zhi was not rescued.

Mr. Liu, who just came in and runs a hardware business, also felt very regretful.

"As soon as I get out, we'll move our family immediately. If I'm not welcome here, I'll find another place that will!"

Manager Guo said nothing, feeling extremely worried. After a long while, he sighed.

"We may be able to get out, but that will have to wait until the foreigners have completely swallowed up our property. Just look at Mr. Zhao and you will know."

Everyone's eyes were full of sympathy and a sense of sympathy.

Zhao Zhi’s yesterday is everyone’s tomorrow.

We all share the same suffering, so no one should laugh at anyone else.

Old Zhao looked at everyone with strange eyes, and had a bad feeling in his heart, so he asked,

"Everyone, can anyone tell me what happened to Sifang Real Estate?"

Boss Zhu sympathized with Zhao Zhi and explained,

"Assistant Hua went to great lengths to save you, begging for help and using all his connections. I once saw him go to Superintendent Reid with a large bag, which must have been filled with cash. To raise money, Assistant Hua sold off most of Sifang Real Estate's properties."

"No, all the properties of Sifang Real Estate have been sold off. The white guys are too ruthless. They are going to cut off the flesh with a knife!"

After hearing this, Zhao Zhi felt dizzy and banged his head against the wall, resulting in a big bump on his head!

After a long time, he said weakly,

"So, now Sifang Real Estate is just an empty shell?"

"That's about it!"

Zhao Zhi suddenly jumped up and shouted,

"You foreign devils, I'm not done with you! Either you kill me, or I kill you..."

Everyone felt sad.

Others are the butchers and I am the meat, what can I do?

As time went on, more and more people were arrested. At first, there were only a few people, but in just three hours, more than 80 people were detained in the detention room, all of whom were reputable businessmen.

……

In Central, the newsstand owner waved the newspaper in his hand and shouted loudly,

"The government is resolute in combating crime. No matter who it is, how rich they are, or how powerful their background is, as long as they commit crimes, we will resolutely crack down on them!"

"Read the newspaper, read the newspaper! Sifang Real Estate Chairman Zhao Zhi has been arrested!"

Peanut, with messy hair and a tired face, wandered aimlessly on the street until he heard the newsstand owner calling him, then he mechanically bought a newspaper. His image was soon captured by reporters, and a few hours later, the photo appeared in the latest issue of the newspaper.

After an unknown amount of time, Peanut was politely invited into the villa by a housekeeper. The male owner of the house was Li Hongwei, the boss of a shipping company. He had dozens of ships, but they were not large in tonnage and specialized in coastal routes.

Li Hongwei was also arrested, and now the person in charge is his eldest son Li Bing.

Peanut used the host's bathroom to tidy up his appearance before chatting with Li Bing.

After some pleasantries, Li Bing asked directly,

"Assistant Hua, I wonder when Chairman Zhao will be free again?"

Peanut held the teacup and shook his head slightly.

"The foreign devils won't let us go until we've eaten every last bit of us!"

"I heard you gave away a lot of money, and the foreigners didn't take it?"

Peanut jumped up and cursed when he heard this.

"I sent in bags of cash, and they said nice things, saying they wouldn't let a good person be wronged. They even pretended to give me a bag of peanuts, nuts, and walnuts in return! Then they denied it and said they wouldn't take anything!"

Li Bing opened his mouth wide and asked quickly,

"No wonder some foreigners are unwilling to take it, it turns out there are so many hidden secrets in it!"

Peanut sighed, and Dad sat on the sofa.

"I'm like a dumb person eating bitter herbs, I can't express my pain in words! Tens of millions of dollars have just gone down the drain, what a bunch of bastards."

Li Bing suddenly became worried.

"Assistant Hua, the foreign devils are just plucking the feathers of passing geese. I wonder what other shady tricks he'll use!"

The first move was to buy the assets of Gong Sifang Real Estate at a low price, and the second move was to defraud bribes.

After these two moves, Sifang Real Estate is half dead.

Li Bing picked up the phone and ordered,

"Uncle Li, please contact the other families and invite them to gather here. Tell them Mr. Peanut is here so we can discuss countermeasures!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Bing arranged food and accommodation.

Peanut's condition clearly shows that he hasn't eaten or drunk anything for a long time.

About half an hour later, the guests arrived one after another, and everyone gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

There were many female family members among them, and when their head of the household was captured, they had to come forward to rescue him personally.

When Li Bing told everyone about Peanut's experience, everyone was filled with indignation and cursed the foreigners to die a miserable death.

After the excitement died down, a lady asked,

"Mr. Hua, I heard a rumor that the gifts you gave were local specialties like peanuts and walnuts. The foreigners felt humiliated, so they refused to release Mr. Zhao Zhi."

Listening to the words and the tone, everyone became suspicious.

If Zhao Zhi couldn't get out, Huasheng could sell off all the properties and run away with the money.

Money can move people's hearts, let alone such a large sum of money, which would even tempt a saint.

Peanut didn't explain and said lightly,

"I'm going to go to the security office to find Chairman Hu. He and Mr. Zhao Zhi are brothers. If he knew about this, he would definitely not stand idly by."

Everyone suddenly understood and most of their doubts were gone.

Peanut may be able to run away with the money, but Hu Zhenhua will never let him go. He is a ruthless man who dares to declare war on the foreign devils. He caused such a big mess, but nothing happened.

Li Bing pondered for a moment and asked,

"Mr. Hua, I wonder what you are going to do next?"

Peanut looked up at the ceiling, his eyes gradually becoming firmer.

"Compromise only leads to impunity! Next, I'm going to use force. We at Sifang Real Estate still have tens of millions in cash. I'd rather throw this money into the sea than let the foreigners get away with it. Whoever takes my money and doesn't do the job, I'll make sure he goes to hell!"

Everyone was shocked. From what Peanut said, he was planning to hire a desperate criminal...

Mr. Liu from the textile factory said quickly,

"Mr. Hua, if this is the case, Sifang Real Estate will not be able to stay in Hong Kong anymore!"

Upon hearing this, Peanut smashed the teacup in his hand and shouted,

"Who's afraid of who? We can just move our company to Bao'an County! In this damn place, no matter how much money you make, it won't be enough for those foreigners to blackmail you. Do you know what they're accusing the chairman of? Inciting a minor to commit violence! What kind of a blatant lie is that?"

Mr. Liu nodded slightly.

"If you want to incriminate yourself, why bother?"

Peanut became angrier and angrier, and yelled,

"Our chairman is a billionaire. Even if he made a mistake, he can't just hold someone captive! Everyone, if my actions have caused you any harm, Peanut apologizes in advance."

After saying this, he bowed deeply.

When Master Liu saw him about to leave, he quickly grabbed him.

"Mr. Hua, wait a minute. We have another concern. If we move to Bao'an County, what if the Red Army attacks us?"

Everyone has the same concern.

Peanut looked around and said in a strong voice,

"Staying here is even more risky. Have you ever considered that if the Red Legion wants to take this place back, war will surely break out!"

"Do they dare?"

"What's there to be afraid of? The warships of the Gentleman Country are powerful, but they can still attack at will! The American military is powerful, but they can still withdraw from Qingdao!"

Everyone fell silent.

Li Bing shook his head slightly and asked,

"Isn't it Bao'an County that's blocking the Xiangjiang River?"

Peanut scoffed at this statement.

"General Xie has a grudge against the foreigners, so it's not impossible for him to open up a loophole when the time comes. They're not a dangerous place either. Many of you have done business with Chongming, haven't you? I've said all I want to say. You can make your own decisions. I'll take action in two days. Time is running out. I'd rather die standing than live on my knees! Damn those foreigners!"

After saying that, Peanut turned away.

A shadow was cast over everyone's heart. Their family members had not been rescued yet, and Hong Kong was about to fall into chaos again.

Li Bing calmed down and said,

"Everyone, I have something else to do, so please don't be polite. Just treat us like you're at home."

Peanut's words prompted him to make up his mind to leave this place.

The risk of war does exist. A gentleman does not build a dangerous wall. It is better to make a decision immediately.

The others each had their own thoughts and said goodbye.

As soon as Peanut left the Li family villa, he immediately stopped a car and left quickly.

What is certain is that there will be people who will inform on you. There will definitely be no shortage of spineless people under colonial rule, so run away first.

Just as the lady had said, Peanut's gift was indeed a genuine local specialty. Furthermore, this fellow arrogantly stated several times, "Mr. Zhao Zhi is an American citizen and a renowned entrepreneur. Even if your Prime Minister comes, you must be polite. If you don't let him go, the consulate will teach you a lesson." This world belongs to us Americans. We hope you will prioritize the greater good!

When have those arrogant gentlemen ever suffered such humiliation? They must teach Zhao Zhi a lesson!

So, poor old Zhao, who could have been released on bail that same day, was detained for three days.

Peanut guessed correctly, someone had indeed informed on the matter.

When the foreigners heard that someone wanted to hire gangsters, they felt like they were facing a great enemy and imposed martial law on the streets.

If it were an ordinary person, the foreigner would naturally not be afraid, but Peanut was different. He used to be Hu Zhenhua's driver and had a deep imprint of TA company on him. That damn Xie Zhiyu was lurking at the intersection and might cause trouble again at any time.

Hundreds of people died last time. Everyone knew that it was Xie Zhiyu who did it, but they couldn't do anything about him. They protested to the Guangdong Provincial Government, but the provincial government kept passing the buck, implying that they couldn't do anything about Xie Zhiyu. When they were forced into a corner, the provincial government asked the foreigners to provide evidence.

The two sides have been arguing about this for half a month, but there is still no result.

When we went to negotiate with Xie Zhiyu, he denied it flatly and threatened that if anyone dared to slander him, they would all be destroyed.

As a result, an armed conflict almost broke out between the two sides.

The Gentleman Country certainly has the power to deal with Xie Zhiyu, but the cost is too high.

It's like two people fighting, one is a pauper with nothing, while the other is a millionaire.

The pauper hangs around your door with a stick all day long, and once a fight starts, he will rush into your house and smash things up.

Just ask you if you are afraid.

This is what it means to be barefoot and not afraid of those who wear shoes.

Xie Zhiyu is a scoundrel. Even if you don't provoke him, he will kick you a few times. Just consider yourself unlucky.

The foreigners had already become cowards, and after just a few days of peace, the case of Wang Yunan stabbing Mike happened again.

This was just a fight between children and there was no way to investigate. However, Wang Yunan publicly said that it was Zhao Zhi who ordered it.

Even if the foreigner doesn't want to touch Zhao Zhi anymore, he has to show some respect.

After all, a gentleman has to have dignity.

As soon as Lao Zhao was arrested, Peanut came to show off with bags of local specialties.

Poor old Zhao, he was treated as a tool.

Even the Chinese bosses who were arrested were secretly reported by Huasheng.

When you can't resolve a conflict, you escalate it.
