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

Life is precious,

Love is more valuable,

For the sake of freedom,

Both can be thrown away.

Only half an hour after Hu Zhenhua was arrested, he remembered this famous line of poetry.

Uncomfortable!

In the wooden cage, Hu Zhenhua's neck was fixed with a splint, his head was outside the cage, and his body was inside. His hands were tied and he was half-squatting inside.

The reason why he was half squatting was because the height of the wooden cage was only two-thirds of his height.

Unable to stand straight or sit still, this is how Lao Hu is treated.

If he stood like this all night, Hu Zhenhua was really afraid that he would die here.

In April in Shanghai, there is a cold wind and the temperature at night is only around 10 degrees Celsius, which is still very cold.

About ten meters away, several soldiers lit a bonfire with an iron pot hanging above it, stewing meat.

The fragrance wafted over, causing Hu Zhenhua's stomach to protest.

Lao Hu originally planned to have dinner after returning to the city, but life is unpredictable and in the blink of an eye, he became a prisoner.

The soldiers were laughing and talking happily, but Hu Zhenhua felt hopeless.

He thought a lot.

Countless people have found it difficult to choose between money and power.

And now, Hu Zhenhua truly realized that in the face of absolute power, money is just a joke.

Even though the chairman of Tongan is rich, he is still hung in a wooden cage like an animal.

Hu Zhenhua raised his head and looked up at the starry sky.

He had figured it out. The other party didn't want his life, because a dead person was worthless. The other party wanted money, wanted Tong'an's huge wealth!

The wooden cage is just a show of force!

Sure enough, another hour later, the officer who arrested Hu Zhenhua walked to the wooden cage and

"Let him go!"

The shackles were opened and Hu Zhenhua walked out of the wooden cage. If he hadn't leaned on the cage, he would hardly be able to stand.

After being confined for a long time, Lao Hu's hands and feet almost lost all feeling.

"Hello, Mr. Hu, my name is Shen He!"

Hu Zhenhua ignored him and continued stretching to speed up blood circulation.

Stretch your legs, twist your waist, jump, and stretch.

Hu Zhenhua was very focused, oblivious to the people around him.

It took more than ten minutes for him to return to normal.

Hu Zhenhua sat down casually on a camp chair and said expressionlessly,

"who are you?"

"Company checkpoint, Lieutenant Platoon Leader, Shen He!"

Hu Zhenhua didn't care whether he was a lieutenant or a captain, and said lightly,

"can I go now?"

"no!"

"Why?"

"First, your companion ran away, and we suspect he's a communist. Second, according to the military court's ruling, you must not leave the Magic City and must appear at any time. Today, the court summoned you, but you weren't there!"

Either of these two reasons could cost Hu Zhenhua his life.

He thought of a phrase: If you want to accuse someone of a crime, you can always find a pretext!

But Shen He said something different.

"The legal net is wide open and there are no omissions!"

Shen He smiled, grabbed a camp chair, and sat next to Hu Zhenhua.

"Mr. Hu, we have good intentions towards you. Do you know why?"

Shen He didn't wait for Hu Zhenhua to answer and said to himself,

"Because you once donated a sum of money to the Jiang Defense Headquarters. It was said that it was 30% of your family fortune, 30%!"

He specifically emphasized the words "30%" and "family property". Hu Zhenhua certainly understood that Shen He was hinting: donate 30% of the family property and you will be safe.

Hu Zhenhua does not simply think that "family property" is just his personal property.

The "family property" that Shen He mentioned refers to all the assets of Tongan Company.

"Mr. Shen, tell me, what do you want?"

Shen He said happily,

"Mr. Hu, please don't misunderstand us. We don't want anything. However, if you can donate some money to the Jiang Defense Headquarters, we will be very grateful!"

When Hu Zhenhua heard the word "Jiangfang Command" and looked at Shen He's shoulder straps, he suddenly came to his senses.

Shen He belongs to the Magic City garrison, but is under the jurisdiction of the Jiang Defense Command. This is a requirement for unified command.

The river defense was under the charge of Commander Tang.

Who is targeting Tongan Company? The answer is obvious.

That guy is a huge monster. He can lift Tongan into the sky with just a breath. Going against him is simply courting death!

If you change your mindset and establish a relationship with him, Tongan will soon be able to make up for what he lost!

However, Hu Zhenhua was unwilling.

How to merge, what’s the difference between them and bureaucratic capital!

Lao Hu will never be an executioner who harms the people!

Tongan will indeed gain benefits from the merger, but its reputation will also be damaged.

Hu Zhenhua thought for a moment and said,

"Tong'an is willing to donate one million acres of land to the Jiang Defense Headquarters for the resettlement of wounded soldiers!"

Shen He was shocked and asked,

"What do you mean? Where are your one million acres?"

"Mr. Shen, if you read the newspaper regularly, you'll know that Tongan Company holds a franchise on Irian Island. That island, close to the equator and with plenty of sunshine, is perfect for developing plantations."

That deserted island is the soothing medicine Hu Zhenhua gave to the monsters in the Magic City.

Throughout history, countless corrupt officials from the national government went to Southeast Asia, where they bought plantations and became farmers.

If we introduce them to Irian Island, besides appeasing them, we can also use their power to develop that barren land, killing two birds with one stone!

Although Hu Zhenhua's idea was good, Shen He was not a fool. He shook his head.

"Mr. Hu, thank you for your kindness. However, the wounded soldiers will be compensated by the government, so you don't need to worry about it!"

Don’t like the land?

Hu Zhenhua was stunned.

I have such a good idea, but no one is interested in it. Isn't that right?

Even if calculated based on the current land prices, 100 million acres of land is worth several million dollars.

Suddenly, Hu Zhenhua thought of a possibility: the land is dead, and if you want to embezzle it, you will need some effort!

This is the only explanation.

Seeing Hu Zhenhua remained silent for a long time, Shen He shouted,

"Mr. Hu, you'd better persuade your companion to surrender, otherwise, you will be punished as well!"

Hu Zhenhua narrowed his eyes and asked,

"So what if we're all punished together?"

Shen He approached Lao Hu, aggressively,

"Have you heard of Qiulin Prison?"

Without waiting for Lao Hu to answer, Shen He laughed.

"That place is full of scum! The criminals are scum, and the prison guards are scum too. Every criminal must have their family pay tribute to the prison guards on a quarterly basis, otherwise..."

Hu Zhenhua suddenly thought of a TV series in which the protagonist He Futang was targeted by corrupt officials and thrown into prison. He had to pay gold to buy his life every year, otherwise he would die!

The sky over the national government is as dark as ink!

Hu Zhenhua suddenly laughed, he laughed and said,

"There is no home without a country. Soldiers are living in the open air on the front lines, defending their homeland. It is our duty as ordinary people to contribute money and effort. How about this, TA Company donates a sum of money to the Jiangfang Army to use for military relief!"

Shen He's mood improved immediately when he saw Hu Zhenhua gave in.

"Mr. Hu is so noble, you deserve to be rich!"

"No, no, I have to make it clear that my companion didn't run away. Anyone who poops in their pants would be embarrassed to see anyone. He must have gone looking for water to wash it off. Secondly, I didn't leave the Magic City. I was just checking on the spring planting in the suburbs."

Shen He nodded frequently like a chick pecking at rice.

"It seems we misunderstood! I wonder how much money Mr. Hu plans to donate to the Jiangfang defense?"

"The specific amount depends on the company's situation. When I get back, I'll gather 10 yuan to improve the food for the brothers in Jiangfang!"

"10?"

Shen He's eyes were obviously a little unfriendly. This amount of money was far from what he expected.

Hu Zhenhua waved his hand.

"Lieutenant, you misunderstood. It's not the total amount of 10, but the first batch of 10!"

"Then may I ask, what is the total amount?"

Hu Zhenhua stretched out a finger.

"No less than 1000 million!"

Shen He suddenly grabbed Hu Zhenhua's hand and held it tightly.

"Sir, you are truly magnanimous. On behalf of the soldiers on the front lines, thank you for your generosity!"
