So, I just listen to you. Something happened in the end, but it had nothing to do with me. And if you want to say that I am irresponsible, it is wrong. After all, I also said that you came here privately and it was not in compliance with the procedures.
After all, the eldest wife is not a fool, and she can hear the underlying meaning. But what can she say at this time? Then I asked again. What the Director of the Second Division of the Special Affairs Office just said was that the first two were similar. In fact, I already had a premonition that something bad was going to happen. So he said: "Director Zhang, do you think this can be done like this? You take pictures of some brothers, don't wear uniforms, and arrange them around this place in advance. Of course, if you don't see our Lao Wan, don't show up and follow him secretly. That’s fine with me.”
Director Zhang nodded and said: "Well, the eldest lady is right. If you were yourself, if they really saw you alone, they would be unfavorable to you and take the money away. That would really mean nothing. It's all over. We have to be on guard against this. So, I'll secretly send a few of my men to change into casual clothes and disperse them around in advance. If someone is really arrested and it's against you, they will show up immediately to save you. But If there is no such situation, then I will follow you quietly. We will wait until we find the lair of these gangsters."
"Okay." The eldest lady agreed, and then discussed it in detail with Director Zhang. Then he hurried away immediately. When we got home, the housekeeper immediately came up to us and said: "Madam, we have collected more than 30,000 US dollars in cash. The key is that we need it too urgently. If other money is available, we can definitely collect an amount worth 50,000 US dollars." , but the other party only wanted U.S. dollars by name, so I didn’t dare to make the decision. I just took back the more than 32,000 U.S. dollars in cash. But I also asked the guys below to prepare other money, including Japanese yen and French currency. , and silver dollars. If you agree, I will call them immediately. Let them take the money to exchange for US dollars immediately. But..."
The eldest lady nodded and said: "It doesn't matter, Uncle Wang. I know that if you are in such a hurry to exchange for US dollars, you may have to suffer some losses, but... just suffer some losses. Get the money together first. The distance is agreed upon Good time, there is still one day, you tell the guys, you must change enough before tomorrow afternoon. Don’t worry about whether you will suffer a loss or not.”
"Okay." The housekeeper named Uncle Wang immediately agreed and said, "I'll let them go now and find a few businessmen I know well." After saying that, he walked aside, picked up the phone and started making calls.
Despite all the hard work, it's already completely dark now. But Lao Wan's family and business partners are quite interesting. In fact, this is not surprising. After all, Wan Haiyi was well hidden, so ordinary business partners had no idea that he was secretly providing fuel to the Japs. Therefore, the business partners of a "good businessman" like Wan Haiyi are also relatively conscientious businessmen.
Therefore, when I heard about this kind of thing, I was very cooperative. Take out the US dollars you have and don’t hesitate at all. I exchanged it without taking the opportunity to increase the price.
However, in the end it was a bit urgent. The total amount of U.S. dollars exchanged with four business partners overnight was only close to 10,000. In fact, it’s really not that little, I’m not bragging. Today's big businessman, if you can ask him to spend a thousand dollars in one day, this person's strength is already pretty good. The four families pooled together nearly 10,000 US dollars, which is now a great help.
But in the end, the difference was nearly five thousand dollars. What should I do? I could only exchange it on the black market and spread the news. If anyone has US dollars, come over and exchange them at a high price. If you are in such a hurry to change, you will definitely have to pay more. But there is no other choice but to do this. So I paid nearly three times more to get the last $5,000.
The child was sent to Japan by Wan Haiyi to study a long time ago and is no longer here. What should we do? It would be fine to let the housekeeper go, and he is quite loyal, but if anything happens, he won't be able to make the final decision on what terms he proposes. If you agree rashly, whose fault is it? Therefore, the eldest wife has to take action herself.
The eldest lady, who had not slept all night, took a nap at noon. After getting up, she ate a snack and drank some water. I couldn't sleep anymore and couldn't eat anymore. Finally it's almost time. I don’t let the driver and housekeeper drive anymore, I drive myself. Carrying the leather box containing the money, I arrived at the designated location at the train station.
Parked on the side of the road without getting out of the car, after all, these days are really chaotic. If a woman is single and is unlucky enough to be robbed, it will be bad. So she sat in the car, waiting anxiously, glancing at her watch from time to time.
Just when it happened to be 6:30 in the evening, the eldest lady heard a sudden "ding-ring" ringing from the phone booth on the sidewalk next to her.
What she had been waiting for was for the phone to ring, but when it actually rang, a feeling of fear suddenly arose in her heart. Therefore, I hesitated for a few seconds. Then he opened the car door and walked out.
After coming down, the eldest lady no longer hesitated, walked into the phone booth and picked up the phone. Trying to make his voice as calm as possible, he said: "Hello?"
"Very punctual." On the other side of the phone, Dongyang De's disguised, slightly hoarse voice sounded, "I hope you will be punctual in the future. Go to the train station immediately and buy a ticket that leaves at 6:50." , the train bound for Hangzhou. Remember, after you get on the train, at 7:20, go to the third table by the window on the right side of the dining car on time. On the back of the table, a letter will appear on time. . Just follow the content in the letter. But remember, the time I said. If you are not punctual, even if it is ahead of time, Wan Haiyi will be dead. "
How can the eldest lady dare to relax now? So she tried her best to remember everything the other party said. After the other party finished speaking, she remembered a situation when she was discussing with Director Zhang, so she immediately said: "I...how do I know that Wan Haiyi is still alive? He said a few words to me."
"Don't play tricks on me." Dongyang De's disguised hoarse voice sounded again, "Remember, be on time!" After saying this, the phone clicked and hung up the phone.
By the way, the eldest lady was a little confused after hearing the busy signal. What's going on? But it is normal for the other party to be so aggressive and forceful. After all, he is a robber. What should I do? The robber asked him to get on the train, but... did he really want to get on the train?
Soon, the eldest lady decided to come. Can you still turn around and go back?
