The older a person is, the more afraid of death he is, and the older he is, the more afraid of death he is. This is the true manifestation of Boss Hong. The gunshots in the outer courtyard woke him up. He is no longer the master here. Seeing Chang Lin so ruthlessly trying to take away his life,
He fluttered and fell to his knees: "Hero, you can make any demands, as long as you don't let me die."
"All requirements?" Chang Lin sneered: "You are of no use to me at all."
"Yes, yes. You can send me to your country as a prisoner, and I can also give you all my property in Southeast Asia. If I like women, I can give you my daughter. She is no worse than Ruan Mingxue." Boss Hong was frightened.
He collapsed to the ground, with cold sweat covering his fat body like drops of water.
"Why don't you enjoy the happiness in the city and go to this deep mountain and old forest?" Chang Lin suddenly said. He had been thinking about this question for a long time and still couldn't understand it. Highway 7 is thirty miles away, and this is a canyon with three mountains.
It is a simple road heading southwest from Highway 7. There are steep cliffs to the north of the two mountains, and a 40-50 degree slope to the right. When you cross it to the end, you will find an open land. To the west of the small lake is Yueguo
The large forest in the alpine zone has formed such a small basin unknown to the world.
"It's secluded here and you can do things that outsiders don't know about." Boss Hong sighed and said with full of grievance: "War is actually a struggle for the interests of politics and rulers, and I don't want to participate in it.
Our brothers started picking up guns when we were seven or eight years old. We discovered this place when we were on the run from the Japanese. When we grew up, the Japanese surrendered, but France and the United States came one after another. They spared no effort for our resources.
Use all force to invade!
I pulled up a team and became the battalion commander, and my brother became the leader of the security camp. We used all the materials collected during the war to build a paradise here. I desperately put weapons and ammunition, various supplies, machinery and equipment, gold
Jewelry is shipped here in order to have a happy old age.
Before the war started, I shipped back all the best and most advanced equipment, cotton yarn, and cloth from Guantang Machinery Factory, Textile Factory, and Agricultural Machinery Factory. It took me half a month to transport them. Of course, I didn't steal them, but
I bought it with Vietnamese Dong!”
"Oh?" Chang Lin felt a little weird. Why did he buy these things? Could it be that he wanted to set up a machinery factory or a spinning factory? Impossible! Even if he wanted to set up a factory, he wouldn't buy old equipment. Could it be——
"In our country, the poorest people carry hundreds of thousands or millions with them. One hundred yuan in your country is equivalent to more than 200,000 yuan in our currency. A piece of paper as big as a palm can save people's hard work."
The grain, fruits, goods produced, and metals smelted became my own, so I was tempted. I built a manor here while my younger brother was young and energetic, injured and desperate."
"Wait!" Chang Lin hurriedly stopped Mr. Hong who was mumbling to himself, and asked with rapid breathing: "Are you printing counterfeit currency, and it is your country's currency?"
"Yes!" Mr. Hong grinned sadly: "After printing banknotes for nearly twenty years, I have lost interest again. Where will I spend too much money? I have my own industry in Southeast Asia. It is nothing more than covering people's eyes and ears. Its real purpose
Just to let them know that I earned my money from doing business!
But what now? My son is dead, and my brother’s family is all dead. Only one daughter and a few women are left abroad. I can’t die. I will give all my family property to you. Just let me live and let me go abroad.
That’s fine.”
"Where is the equipment you brought back? Where is the place for printing banknotes? Are they all in the cave behind the house?" Chang Lin was very surprised. He guessed the cave, but he didn't expect the cave to be so huge! It can store two coins.
The materials collected over more than ten years are simply incredible!
"Yes, it is in a cave. When our brothers were here, they discovered a huge natural cave here. It is more than 40 kilometers long and leads to the lake. In order to build this place, I spent a lot of money and killed many subordinates who knew about it.
After thirty years!"
Mr. Hong started to cry. What a cruel blow it was to him that the foundation he had spent his whole life building was taken away by others. He knew that the young man in front of him would never let him go. He wiped away his tears and said, "Just shoot.
Sooner or later, my daughter will come back to settle the score with you!"
"Hahahaha!" Chang Lin laughed wildly: "How big is Southeast Asia? She doesn't dare to come back now. When the war is over, I will personally kill your family!"
"No!" Boss Hong hugged Chang Lin's leg and begged and shouted: "I'm useless, but she is a girl and still young. You can keep her as a concubine and give you children."
"Let her turn into a bomb that will explode at any time beside me, send me to the west, and take back everything you have!" Chang Lin said coldly, kicking away Boss Hong who was kneeling on the ground.
"She doesn't know this place, please let her go!" Boss Hong rushed over again, wailing at Chang Lin to let her daughter go.
"I don't know?" Chang Lin was stunned: "You are lying to me, right?"
"Really! She became a Southeast Asian citizen when she was born."
"It's strange that you left your son in the country and sent your daughter away. Could she be your heirloom?" Chang Lin felt incredible. Is Mr. Hong mentally retarded?
"Without my own people in the army, it is difficult to control everything. The materials I transport must be hidden, and of course I will not let others handle it. I have never let him go to the battlefield in a war, but who would have thought that he would not die at the hands of the US military?
Died in the Chinese army of comrades and brothers."
Mr. Hong continued to talk in frustration and confusion: "A military power that has experienced decades of war has been completely defeated by Chinese soldiers with the support of the Soviet Union's big brother. I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it!"
"Who taught you guerrilla warfare? It was us! You wouldn't have thought that our purpose is not to occupy your land, but to destroy it and consume your military strength. The Red River is a natural barrier, but our fourteenth army attacked at the same time
, in just over twenty days, we completely reached Gantang, an important town in the north."
Chang Lin took out two cigarettes and lit them at the same time, stuffed one into Mr. Hong's mouth, took a sip himself and continued: "Going south, do you still have dangerous areas to defend? Why should we withdraw our troops?"
"You dare not attack Ho Chi Minh City for fear that the Soviet Union will be angry and send troops." Boss Hong was also smoking violently. He took over Chang Lin's topic and made military analysis.
"Yes, we don't want war, and we don't want to cause war between the north and the south. What does this mean? It means that we cherish life and don't want thousands of families to lose their sons, husbands and fathers!"
"You're not going to kill me, are you?" Seeing that the young man who was gradually calming down had not taken action for so long, Mr. Hong seemed to have found a life-saving straw.
"Kill you? How long can you live? At nearly sixty years old, can you still pose a threat to me? I will let you go, but not now." Chang Lin mentioned Boss Hong and walked out of the room to the side room.
In a room, he picked up a piece of rag and blocked the naked person, then went out and locked the door.
Ruan Mingxue and Tang Cuihua did not dare to come out of their rooms. They were afraid of dead people, and they were even more afraid of corpses whose brains had been shot through by bullets. When they saw from the door that Chang Lin did not kill Boss Hong, they looked at each other in surprise as he walked out.
.
"Cooking, I'm already hungry." Chang Lin shouted to the woman who came out with a smile.
"It's been done a long time ago." Tang Cuihua hurried to the kitchen. Ruan Mingxue also wanted to chase after him, but Chang Lin caught him.
"Put the table in the yard and we'll eat here."
Boss Hong had already told about the cave behind the house, but Chang Lin didn't dare to tell the two women in front of him yet. He had to find out about this matter before making a decision. He should consider the next step.
After dinner, after the two women had finished washing, they were asked to rest in the cave. Chang Lin prepared food, drinking water, flashlights and other items, and walked down to the basement under the wooden bed before it was completely dark.
Lighting the candles in the room, Chang Lin began to search for the mechanism to enter the secret passage. Chang Lin did not ask how to enter, he had already made a clear judgment. Brother Hong could not set the mechanism in the room where other people lived. The only possibility
What's more, there is another secret in the basement.
"No! An import and export that can hide machinery, equipment and a large amount of materials is definitely not a small import and export!" Chang Lin suddenly thought of this problem while searching in the room. His eyes lit up, and he walked out of the basement towards the front yard.
Go.
Gao Yishan and others buried the body, packed everything and were eating. When they saw Chang Lin going out, they came over and said with a smile: "This battle was really fun. It's a pity that the nine of us didn't kill a few, and we were all killed by these girls."
Finished."
"Killing is fun?" Chang Lin said with a hidden knife in his smile: "I am still in charge of a division commander in the inner courtyard. If you want to kill someone, I will hand him over to you."
"No, no, no, I won't kill prisoners." Gao Yishan wolfed down his rice and watched Chang Lin walk out of the manor.
"Where is he going?" Ajuan came over and asked.
"have no idea."
Ajuan blinked and put the rice bowl into Gao Yishan's hand: "I'll go take a look, and you close the door. Remember, we won't be back tonight, so you don't have to leave the door open."
"You want-" Gao Yishan was startled. Is this girl too crazy? She wants to be a woman when she is only fifteen years old.
"It's not what you think. He is holding a flashlight. Do you think he will come back tonight?" Ajuan smiled, ran, and walked into the doorway leading to the outside of the village in a blink of an eye.
"What is he going to do? Hey, he only brought a pistol, so he can't go very far." Gao Yishan put his rice bowl on the ground, walked to the front door and closed the two heavy wooden doors.
Chang Lin was walking in the woods to the west of the manor. The footsteps behind him already knew that Ajuan was chasing after him. This was what he hoped for most. Only a clever girl could help him solve the mystery. But he couldn't shout directly,
I'm afraid that Gao Yishan and others are thinking wrongly.
"What are you going to do?" He saw Chang Lin walking and observing all the way, constantly looking at the mountains behind and the traces on the ground.
"There is a cave behind, where do you think the entrance and exit will be?" Everyone can hide it, but Ajuan can't. The two of them have already formed a deep love, and they won't hide the secrets in their hearts.
"Cave? You don't think the entrance and exit are inside the manor, but outside the manor?" Ajuan looked at Chang Lin in shock. It was hard for her to believe that this kind of speculation was made by the person in front of her.
"The hole that can transport machines and equipment is certainly not small. He won't hire many people to load and unload the trucks. It is very likely that he will drive the cars directly in!" Chang Lin stopped and spoke out his analysis.
"Ah! You said that there is a large amount of equipment, supplies, and weapons stored in the cave. Is Mr. Hong mentally retarded? Spend money to store so many things?" Ajuan believes that even the most stupid person would not do this!
"He has his own banknote making factory!" Chang Lin whispered in Ajuan's ear.
"Ah!" Ajuan exclaimed, buying things with counterfeit money, and then storing and selling the purchased materials. No wonder the manor was so beautiful and sturdy, and the Hong family used waste paper to do business.
"Silly? I'm waiting for your analysis!" Chang Lin laughed. Everyone would be surprised when he heard this. He has been printing banknotes for nearly 20 years. How big is Mr. Hong's family fortune?
