hospital.
Wang Xuesen lay on the hospital bed, groaning and complaining that he wanted to drink.
Wanjia blushed and glared at him, "With so many people coming and going, where am I supposed to get you a drink? Besides, you're injured, how can you still be in the mood?"
"A man is a boy until he dies; he can suffer, but he cannot go a day without joy." Wang Xuesen had one arm in a sling, but his other hand was still groping around inside Wanjia's cheongsam.
"You're so annoying." Wanjia's whole body ached and felt numb from his handling.
"Cough cough."
The two were playing and frolicking when Wu Sibao and Yu Aizhen appeared at the door.
Wanjia quickly moved away from him, stood up and hurriedly straightened her skirt: "Sister, brother-in-law."
"You two are really interesting."
"They can even make a fuss in a hospital with all the people coming and going; young people have it easy."
When Yu Aizhen saw the way her eyes were brimming with spring water, she knew exactly what was going on.
"Sister Zhen, you're making fun of him." Su Wanjia was extremely embarrassed and quickly took the basin to wash Wang Xuesen's clothes.
"Sister Zhen, you're finally back! I've missed Brother Bao so much!" Wang Xuesen shouted, pretending not to know anything.
Wu Sibao stood to the side, smiling broadly, like a lapdog.
to him.
Having Yu Aizhen by my side is more important than anything else.
Everything else is... just fluff.
"He would never miss me."
"I've heard about what happened. This time, it's all thanks to you. Otherwise, Lao Dao and the others would have chopped up your brother-in-law and fed him to the dogs." Yu Aizhen walked to the bedside, opened the lunchbox, and took out the fragrant chicken soup.
"Sister, look at what you're saying, we're all family," Wang Xuesen said.
"Sibao, Xuesen has saved you twice."
"Hurry up and thank them." Yu Aizhen glared at Wu Sibao.
"Brother, I owe you two lives. From now on, we're brothers, family." Wu Sibao patted his chest and declared.
"Hi."
"We're family, helping each other out is only natural, isn't it?"
"Besides, if you hadn't spoken up for me with Director Li last time, I'd probably still be in jail right now."
Wang Xuesen and the other person were genuinely praising each other.
Wu Sibao felt ashamed inwardly.
After he got out, he drank and played cards with Hu Junhe every day, and kept complaining about being wronged.
It was Li Shiqun who forced the interrogation.
He then revealed that the intelligence at the time was inaccurate, and that he had lost too much blood after being shot.
"Sibao, go downstairs and buy some fruit," Yu Aizhen instructed.
"Okay."
Wu Sibao had already decided that Wang Xuesen was an honest man, so he left without any worries.
"Xuesen, what exactly happened?" Yu Aizhen asked as she sat down.
"I'm hungry," Wang Xuesen said.
"I don't have any for you to drink, you can have the soup." Yu Aizhen had heard his shameless demands from the doorway, so she picked up the chicken soup and fed it to him.
Wang Xuesen's fingers traced patterns on the hem of her cheongsam, gently scratching at the slit. "Sis, is Si Bao not good enough?"
"Nonsense!" Yu Aizhen exclaimed in surprise, put down her bowl, and slapped him.
"My brother-in-law said he has a friend who is very fast and has been asking me for a prescription."
"That friend must be him."
Wang Xuesen turned to the side and brazenly inhaled her fragrance.
"Your brother-in-law is as fierce as a tiger, don't talk nonsense. I don't know where he heard these rumors from," Yu Aizhen spat and cursed.
"Yeah?"
Wang Xuesen glanced outside, saw no one was around, leaned over and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek:
Don't lie to me.
"My brother-in-law mistook the golden bell for you and started yelling at me." ,cheap "If he hadn't hated someone to the extreme, how could he have lost control?"
"You went to Suzhou to find a man, didn't you?"
As he spoke, he began to touch her with his large hand.
"devil!"
"You're getting bolder and bolder. Be careful, Si Bao might rip your head off." Yu Aizhen smiled charmingly and poked his forehead, but didn't stop him from doing so.
"Sis, your legs are so white."
"No wonder your brother-in-law treats you like royalty; I would feel the same way too."
Wang Xuesen buried his face in her lap and kissed her.
"I'm warning you, Wanjia and I are best friends."
"Get the hell away from me."
"You little brat."
Yu Aizhen felt burning hot all over from his tickling and quickly cursed and moved away.
"I don't care."
"Back then, when I was seeking a one-night stand in Shanghai, you thought I was incompetent and that the Wang family wasn't friendly to the Japanese, so you wouldn't give it to me."
"Now that I know my brother-in-law is impotent, if I were to watch you stay alone in an empty house, wouldn't I be worse than an animal?"
"At least, I'm the man the White Rose has stamped her seal of approval, right?"
"I've got my hands on you."
Wang Xuesen reached out and pinched her pert buttocks, saying fiercely.
"Pooh!"
"You fence-sitter, you'd better survive in Shanghai first."
"Zhang Xiaolin is notoriously vengeful."
"And Mao Ziming, I heard that when he's drinking with people, he often says he's going to kill you."
"Would I be crazy to want to be with a short-lived wretch like you?"
Yu Aizhen patted his cheek, her allure tinged with pragmatism and self-interest.
"What a snob."
"Isn't it just because they think I'm not rich enough and haven't climbed to a high position?"
"Fine, we'll see."
"One day I'll throw money at you and make you open your legs obediently."
Wang Xuesen cursed and swore.
"Fine, I'll wait until Young Master Wang beats me into submission." Yu Aizhen rolled her eyes and continued feeding him soup.
Just then, Wanjia walked in carrying a basin.
"Wan'er, you feed her, so your brother-in-law won't see this and start overthinking." Yu Aizhen handed the bowl to Wanjia as if nothing had happened.
"Sister, you go ahead with your work, I'll keep an eye on things," Su Wanjia said.
"Keep an eye on your man, don't let him corrupt my Sibao."
"Sister, you go ahead with your work, I'll keep an eye on things," Su Wanjia said.
"Keep an eye on your man, don't let him corrupt my Sibao."
Yu Aizhen turned back and gave Wang Xuesen a charming look, then swayed her hips and walked away.
"Whoosh!"
"What did you do with her?" Wanjia could smell the perfume on Xuesen.
"What could I possibly do with her?" Wang Xuesen vehemently denied.
"No, you smell of her perfume on you," Su Wanjia said.
"This woman is not simple; she's here to probe for information."
"I'll just expose Wu Sibao's dirty secrets to her, and then she'll be less suspicious when she investigates."
Wang Xuesen quickly changed the subject.
Now that he's with Wan'er, he still has to consider her feelings.
"All right."
"I got a message from Lao Du; the boss is urging us to deliver the goods."
"urgent!"
Su Wanjia said in a low voice.
"It's alright, I'll be discharged this afternoon. After I check the goods, I'll have Lao Du move them away immediately," Wang Xuesen said.
……
Ten days later.
mountain city.
With a smile on his face, Jia Jinnan strode up to the rooftop: "Boss, good news."
Dai Li is reading a book.
The book cover has three large gold-embossed characters: Jin Ping Mei.
"What makes you so happy is that Wang Xuesen's operation has succeeded and the goods have been returned?" He put down his book and looked at Jia Jinnan.
"yes!"
"All the goods have been transferred to the official residence. After deducting the portion that Ji Yunqing embezzled and resold, about 60% remains."
"The lady is very satisfied with this result."
Jia Jinnan reports.
"Oh, you resold so many?"
"Didn't Wang Xuesen handle it at all?"
Dai Li frowned, clearly displeased.
"No, not at all," Jia Jinnan said.
"Hmph, he's certainly doing his job well. From now on, he won't approve any more requests for funding," Dai Li said with a gloomy face.
If it were Shen Zui, he would have taken at least a tenth of the goods from the Chairman, let alone the Madam's.
Hey.
Wang Xuesen still hasn't grasped the essence; he just doesn't understand it.
Jia Jinnan was also at a loss.
The boss doesn't dislike audacious subordinates.
Shen Zui goes without saying; he's my favorite son.
Like Zhan Shen, after assassinating Ji Yunqing, he stayed in Shanghai enjoying the glamorous world and refused to return to the mountain city to report, and this happened more than once.
The boss only gives verbal warnings, the bureau deducts wages, but the private expenses are all covered, and promotions are still given as they should.
What I fear most are those who don't use their brains and have no filial piety.
After all, everyone knows that the boss loves beautiful women and money the most.
Xuesen, you've misused your intelligence.
Dai Li returned to his bedroom with his hands behind his back, feeling increasingly angry.
Madame Chiang Kai-shek had all the top-tier luxury goods purchased from North America this time.
Whether it's jewelry, perfume, mink coats, or handmade silk cheongsams, these are all excellent gifts for Hu Die.
Wang Xuesen didn't keep a single item.
He also had Du Song use Song Ziwen's connections.
Even if I wanted to pump water, I didn't have the chance.
I'm so angry!
Just as she was getting annoyed, Hu Die walked in: "Darling, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing," Dai Li said with a faint smile, suppressing his anger.
"Let me show you something."
Hu Die beckoned, and immediately a female servant brought over an exquisite box that was a foot long.
"What is it?" Dai Li asked warily.
"Don't worry, the guards checked it; it's all jewelry, perfume, and the like," Hu Die said with a smile.
As she spoke, she casually opened it.
Inside were dazzling diamond rings, coral, and agate, all exquisitely crafted and clearly very valuable.
One of the blue gemstones, the size of a pigeon's egg, is particularly dazzling and spectacular.
"What is this?" Dai Li was an expert, and he was deeply moved.
"I danced at the embassy today."
"It was a gift from the ambassador's wife."
Hu Die said with a smug look on her face.
Was it a gift from the ambassador's wife?
Dai Li's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately realized that these were the things Wang Xuesen had plundered.
Currently, the Yangtze River waterway and land freight companies are all controlled by Kong and Song, so it's not easy for them to interfere.
Wang Xuesen's approach through the US embassy was a different route, but he had indeed given Du Song the authority to contact Ambassador Gauss for urgent matters.
It seems this guy didn't seek help from Americans while in jail.
They actually used this little bit of money.
This box alone is worth at least $100,000.
That's thoughtful, that's very thoughtful.
As expected of Shen Zui's apprentice, he has won my favor.
Thinking of this, Dai Li's mood improved considerably.
"Xiaodie, keep these things to yourself and don't show them off." He turned his head and whispered his instructions.
Hu Die, a woman of the world, nodded repeatedly: "I know, I'm only wearing it for you to see."
As she spoke, she extended her jade-like finger and let Dai Li slip the sapphire ring onto her finger.
Dai Li spent some time cuddling with her.
A moment later, he came downstairs to the living room: "Jin Nan, open a bottle of good wine for dinner later. I'm going to have a good drink tonight."
"Boss, what's wrong with you...?" Jia Jinnan, looking worried, was taken aback.
"The embassy sent something to Ms. Hu."
"Give Lao Du another 20,000 yuan as encouragement."
Dai Li gave the instructions with a smile.
If Wang Xuesen is so shrewd, and he really manages to drive out the Japanese and take over Shanghai, then he'll be surrounded by gold and piles of "national property"—that would be true, unimaginable wealth.
"Yes, yes, I will have someone send a message right away." Jia Jinnan was overjoyed.
This world is not lacking in loyal ministers, but in capable ministers who can get things done and know how to handle situations.
It is obvious that Wang Xuesen was the boss's capable minister.
This kid has a bright future ahead of him.
"Old Wang, are all the brothers ready?" Wang Xuesen asked.
"Everyone who went on the mission last time has arrived," Lin Zhijiang nodded.
Wang Xuesen stubbed out his cigarette, then reached under the table and pulled out a box, slamming it heavily onto the table.
Then it turned around, click, and the latch opened.
They were neatly arranged inside.
The banknotes are on the left.
The gold bars are on the right.
"Brothers, it's not much money, just 20,000 yuan, plus 30 small yellow croakers weighing one tael each."
"There are eight brothers on this mission."
"Two thousand dollars per person, three gold bars, and the rest will be used for our daily activities."
"I hope no one has any objections."
Wang Xuesen raised his hand and said.
No objections.
"This is way too much. The brothers didn't do anything; they just ran errands and moved things."
"No, no, this is practically robbing a bank!"
"I can't sleep because of it."
Lin Zhijiang, with a cigarette in his mouth, waved his hand and said.
"To be honest, some of the money here came from selling goods and exchanging them on the black market."
"When the brothers were about to open the box, even if they secretly divided up just one or two percent, they would have gotten more than this."
"Xuesen is grateful for the trust his brothers have placed in him."
"This is what you deserve."
"Besides, this is just the beginning. This is merely an appetizer for our Military Intelligence Bureau. What follows will be ten or a hundred times better."
"I, Wang Xuesen, cannot guarantee anything else."
"But I can guarantee that every brother in the gang, you, and your families will enjoy wealth and prosperity."
"Even if anything happens to any one of you."
"I will protect the safety and wealth of your mother, wife and children with my life."
"Come on, let's share the joys and the sorrows."
Wang Xuesen extended his hand.
"Sharing joys and sorrows." Filled with fervor, the crowd joined hands and made a vow.
They split the money.
Wang Xuesen cautioned, "This time, because Niu Jinfa was arrested, there weren't many loopholes in the transfer of goods, but future operations will always leave clues eventually."
"Old Wang, you and your brothers should be prepared to be targeted by Li Shiqun at any time."
"We must help Dingmo Village establish the four-hall system."
"But when necessary, safety and making money should be prioritized. If it is necessary to withdraw, then we must withdraw. We must not be misled by the illusion of impending power."
"Money and the black market are our main battleground."
"Number 76 is just a stepping stone."
He opened the wine, raised his glass, and said...
"clear."
"I, Lao Wang, used to be a high-ranking official in charge of a region, but now my brothers and I all listen to you."
"You tell us when to go, and we'll go."
"We'll withdraw whenever you want."
Wang Tianmu raised his glass and said heartily.
He's completely convinced.
I thought I would be satisfied if each person could get two or three hundred.
Unexpectedly, Wang Xuesen paid his brothers such generously. With this money alone, the elderly and children in their families would not have to worry about spending money for a year.
"it is good."
"Old Wang, you need to get the Green Gang's channels up and running as soon as possible, so we can get our business moving again."
"Old Lin, gather information on the traitorous businessmen."
"If Li Shiqun kidnaps patriotic businessmen from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, then we'll kidnap unscrupulous businessmen!"
Wang Xuesen made the next steps in his plan.
"Don't worry, I've got it covered," Lin Zhijiang said, patting his chest.
……
10 PM.
Office of the Deputy Director, No. 76.
Li Shiqun sat on the sofa smoking a cigarette.
Zhou Fugui and Yu Aizhen stood to the side.
"Fugui, are you sure Wang Xuesen didn't deliberately provoke this?" Li Shiqun asked in a deep voice.
"no."
"Captain Wu was drunk at the time."
"Wang Xuesen tried to help him home, but couldn't persuade him otherwise. Then Jin Lingdang came down to offer a toast, and Captain Wu suddenly started cursing at her." .
"Jin Lingdang slapped him, and the two started fighting."
"If it weren't for Wang Xuesen's valiant protection, Captain Wu would be dead."
Zhou Fugui recounted everything that happened that night in detail.
"I understand, you can leave now." Li Shiqun waved his hand.
After Zhou Fugui left, he looked at Yu Aizhen: "Aizhen, what did Wang Xuesen say when you went to the hospital to visit him?"
"Shiqun, isn't this just a drinking brawl?"
"Is there anything else?"
Ye Jiqing brought over a fruit platter and asked, puzzled.
"have."
"According to secret intelligence from the Japanese at the Wuhan Water and Land Procuratorate, Ye Peng, the director of the Wuhan Procuratorate, secretly released a batch of goods to the north of the mountain city some time ago."
"We went through connections and got to Director Ye's place. This batch of goods is no small matter."
"On the night of the dance hall brawl, someone at the Green Gang docks saw Niu Jinfa leave, and then a dock disciple named Sun Laoliu led a group of masked men to unload a batch of goods from the warehouse."
"I asked Xiaoyufeng privately, and she said that those were goods that Old Master Ji had secretly seized before his death."
"I don't know the specifics."
"But clearly, this batch of goods is very important."
Li Shiqun frowned.
As a highly trained agent, he had a keen sense that the two events might be connected.
