Chapter 212: Busy raising a family in a foreign land 212
Brother Cai saw that both the big and small people were staring at her, so he put down his chopsticks.
He cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Rong was captured. After the other two bosses found someone to mediate, the Lu family offered one million dollars to settle the matter."
One million oceans?
Wei Miao frowned. This was different from what she had heard. Lu Pingsheng secretly calculated for Lu Shaojie how much Mr. Rong’s assets were and how much the Qing Gang would pay to maintain their dignity.
All in all, it’s at least two million dollars.
If there is not enough money, then just sell the opium den, the brothel, or the shares.
In short, this time Master Rong is going to peel off a layer of skin, and White Rose is ready, waiting to swallow the things that Master Rong gives up.
"The Green Gang is a bunch of cowards." The bearded man said with disdain.
Brother Cai bared his big buck teeth and smiled disdainfully, "These people are a scourge to the country. They are fine as running dogs, but if they meet a tough guy, they will not be able to handle it."
Wei Miao lowered his head and gnawed on the duck leg. You two might as well just recognize me by my face.
As soon as Brother Cai came in, he greeted the bearded man with pretended surprise, three wine glasses and three pairs of chopsticks.
Based on his understanding of Brother Cai, this guy is not a good person and may have other intentions towards her. It is hard not to notice the way he is unintentionally respectful to the bearded man.
"Speaking of this, Brother Wei, I heard that Mr. Lu sold the sulfonamide directly to the Lu family?"
Wei Miao raised his eyes, revealing most of his greasy face, and said in a naive tone:
"Is that true?"
Brother Cai knew that the kid was playing dumb, so he said nonchalantly:
"I heard that too. It's just that sulfa has always been in short supply. Not to mention the difficulty in production, even when it is shipped back, there are always pirates robbing it, so there are very few goods arriving at the port..."
After listening to this, the bearded man moved his hand holding the wine glass and glanced at Wei Miao.
Now he knew why Bucktoothed Cai was so polite to this brat.
Love is a little god of wealth.
Brother Cai nodded to him imperceptibly.
He knew that Wei Miao was arrested this time because he had a cousin who was a prison guard in the police station.
Thanks to his sister's relationship, he had some status in Boss Bai's car dealership, but he was not interested in that.
But he was asked to sell opium and force women into prostitution, but he was unwilling to do so because he had been accustomed to suffering since childhood.
Starting from the first batch of sulfa drugs from Lu Pingsheng introduced by Wei Miao, he finally found his own way to make money.
Reselling sulfa drugs.
Unfortunately, he is not the only one who thinks so, many people who have tasted the sweetness also think so.
Sulfonamide is valuable. As long as there is stock at the source, you can make multiples of the profit by reselling it.
He only took the goods twice, and Lu Pingsheng said that there was no stock. No matter how he tried to please, Lu Pingsheng never gave in.
This made Brother Cai very upset. It’s not like he had never thought about going to find Wei Miao.
Wei Miao was seen following Lu Pingsheng several times. The two of them were talking and laughing, and their relationship was very good. It was not an employment relationship as outsiders said.
Recently, he heard that the batch of sulfa drugs that Lu Pingsheng placed in the casino was sold to the 10th Division through the arrangement of Lu Shaojie, who lost ten thousand acres of fertile land to him.
He was planning how to get some shares from Lu Pingsheng on time.
The price of sulfonamides is high now, so it is a good time to buy them.
When he heard his cousin say that a child was caught in Juhua Lane, he asked another question.
Brother Cai knew that the opportunity he had been looking for had come.
He has to be faster than others to seize the initiative. He can't get close to a big shot like Lu Pingsheng, but he can still make good use of Wei Miao, the clever little kid.
Wei Miao lowered his head and ate voraciously, his mind working rapidly, his peripheral vision falling on the chicken leg he had just finished chewing.
Cai's cousin came over slowly and said, "Brother, it's almost time. In half an hour, the superiors will come to inspect and even arrest people."
Brother Cai looked at the cleaned plates and the empty wine jug and sighed inwardly.
The kid was pretending to be stupid, so he shouldn't be too anxious, otherwise it would make people disgusted and backfire.
Seeing Brother Cai about to leave, Wei Miao called him, "Brother Cai, I know you want sulfa."
Brother Cai's heart was beating fast, but his smile was sincere. "Little brother, look at what you said. Can't I come to see you just because of our friendship?"
Wei Miao blushed for his own mean-spirited mind, and then said to Brother Cai:
"Brother Cai, I was suddenly imprisoned. I'm afraid my parents are worried. Please go to my house to take a look. By the way, please put this on my windowsill."
Brother Cai looked at the greasy chicken bone in his hand, and his cerebellum shrank for a moment.
"What does this mean?"
Wei Miao was shy, "It's just a little quirk."
Brother Cai walked away with the lunch box in a daze. He had no time to think about Wei Miao's strange little request.
Wei Miao's words kept echoing in my mind: I promise to give you a batch of sulfa from now on.
With this sentence, he wouldn't be curious even if you put a human bone in his hand, let alone a chicken bone.
Lu Pingsheng sat in the empty interrogation room for half the night, and Feng Chuanfeng watched him outside the door for half the night.
This person was very arrogant. He only talked about the information they knew and knew nothing about the rest.
"Captain, if it doesn't work, let's use torture." Hu San's eyes were red from enduring the torture.
The whole night was so damn unlucky.
The student who was about to confess in the hospital had just opened his mouth to say a few words when his condition worsened. After a whole night of rescue, he is now half dead.
Leave that bastard Zhu Yan to guard it.
We have questioned all the people we brought back last night, and some of them have even been tortured, but they can't explain anything except howling like ghosts.
"Punishment? What kind of punishment? I don't agree." Zhang Cheng'an, who came to demand the person's release, said in a firm tone.
Feng Chuanfeng frowned, disgust flashed across his eyes, and when he turned around to speak, there was already a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Director Zhang, the house that the three red bandits rented belongs to this Mr. Lu. We need to verify that he has nothing to do with this matter."
Zhang Chengan said with a fake smile:
"Sir, how you identify him is your business, but this guy, not only can you not move, according to the rules, I have to let him go now."
People in the Party Affairs Investigation Section have always been arrogant and look down on everyone.
Hu San raised his chin and said sternly, "Do you dare to let him go and try?"
Zhang Chengan disdained to argue with such a person, and said to Feng Chuanfeng in a gentle tone:
"You must know this person's background. Last night, I received at least five or six calls from people who wanted to vouch for him. If you have solid evidence, I will leave it to you to deal with it without saying anything. If you torture him without evidence, can you bear the consequences?"
Hu San wanted to say something, but Feng Chuanfeng waved his hand and said casually:
"Then let him go."
Feng Chuanfeng looked at Zhang Cheng'an, who was chatting and laughing with Lu Pingsheng in the interrogation room, and slightly twisted his stiff neck.
"Captain, are you just going to let him go like that?" Hu San was unconvinced.
Feng Chuanfeng lowered his eyes and said in a low voice:
"Monitor him 24 hours a day. If collusion with the Communists fails, then surrender to Japan!"
A glimmer of excitement flashed in Hu San's eyes. They hadn't encountered a big fish like Lu Pingsheng for a long time.
This line of work doesn't pay much and is very risky, so why does he still like this line of work?
He likes to pull down influential people from their high places.
What's the point of evidence? As long as they have doubts, they don't need any evidence at all.
"Is there anyone monitoring the child he mentioned?" Feng Chuanfeng suddenly asked.
Hu San was stunned. After hearing that the student wanted to confess in the middle of the night, they didn't care about the people behind him.
"Stupid as a pig!"
Feng Chuanfeng slapped Hu San again, then glared coldly at the interrogation room and turned away.
