"Enter!"
Old Hao Tou suppressed his somewhat chaotic emotions in an instant, crushed the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and said in a deep voice.
The door opened, and Dai Guoqing walked in with his head tilted:
"Hao Ke, haven't you rested yet?"
"Oh, no, Lao Dai, please come in."
Old Hao's tone was light and his face was expressionless, with a vague sense of alienation, but Dai Guoqing smiled so hard that he couldn't even see his eyebrows, and his face was full of flattery:
"Hey, Hao Ke, it's so late, sorry to bother you~"
You know, the Security Department was originally the most powerful department in the steel rolling mill. It had strong men in its hands. Under the current situation, its power was even more astonishing.
At the moment, Jiang Dongfang, in addition to being the director of the Security Department, also serves as a deputy director. Well, I won't go into details, just understand it.
As for Hao Shanhe, he is a veteran of the Security Department, and his ability and resume are not impressive. He was in good health a while ago, and Jiang Dongfang wanted to promote him to deputy director, but he declined.
"As people get older, they lose their energy and their bodies become useless. Leave opportunities to young people who are qualified."
These were Old Haotou's original words. Jiang Dongfang did not insist on it, but the position of deputy director has been vacant since then.
Even Hao Shanhe can't do it, so who the hell is more qualified than him? All the things that were about to move were temporarily silenced.
Old Haotou is usually low-key, inconspicuous and rarely shows off, and rarely even leaves the office, but even so, no one dares to look down on him.
Anyway, the versatile Dai Guoqing would definitely not dare, and it would be too late to curry favor.
Seeing Dai Guoqing smiling all over his face, especially the aluminum lunch box in his hand, Hao Shanhe was a little surprised and subconsciously raised his eyebrows, but his tone remained unchanged:
"It's okay, Lao Dai, come and sit down, it's cold, let's warm up by the fire."
"Aaaaa~"
Old Haotou pointed to the small iron stove in front of the desk. Dai Guoqing quickly came over with small steps, not forgetting to greet Wang Yang politely:
"Section Chief Wang Yang is here too. It's really hard for you to work the night shift in such a cold weather."
Wang Yang has been in high position for a long time, and now he has developed a sense of magnanimity. He nodded calmly and asked casually:
"Lao Dai, I heard that your loading and unloading team is working overtime to unload the goods tonight. Is all the work finished?"
Dai Guoqing nodded quickly: "Hey, hey, it's all done."
Raising his hand and glancing at his watch, Wang Yang turned to Old Haotou:
"Uncle Hao, it's almost time for the night patrol. If you have anything to do, I'll go back first."
Wang Yang naturally noticed the lunch box in Dai Guoqing's hand, and subconsciously thought that he wanted to ask Old Hao for help, so he casually found an excuse to hide out.
Lao Hao chuckled and waved his hand: "Oh, it's okay. Lao Dai is not an outsider either. Just stay here and stay."
In fact, Wang Yang was indeed a little curious. After hearing what Old Hao Tou said, he turned to look at Dai Guoqing thoughtfully:
"Lao Dai, am I inconvenienced?"
"Well, it's convenient. Hi, leader, you misunderstood. Hao Ke has a clean sleeve and is upright. How can I dare to give him a gift? This is the meal I just bought in the cafeteria. I haven't had time to eat it yet."
Dai Guoqing was also a discerning man. He immediately realized that he had been misunderstood. He quickly opened the lunch box to prove his innocence and flattered him at the same time.
Giving and accepting bribes is no small matter nowadays.
As long as it is stuck, even if it is just groundless, you have to peel off the skin. Once verified, it will be a trivial matter to lose your job. If it is not corrected, it will be fatal.
When he saw that the steaming food in the lunch box was a rare dish like tofu stewed with dried shrimps, Old Haotou was even more surprised and even raised his eyebrows.
You know, this Lao Dai is usually known for taking advantage.
In the past, when he encountered this kind of "hard food", he not only had to eat half to full in the cafeteria, but also had to take an extra portion home.
This is a typical behavior of collecting wool in a factory, but Dai Guoqing is old enough and has a large family, so life is tight.
Fortunately, he was usually very popular, so everyone just kept their eyes open.
Old Haotou seemed to have realized what he had realized at this moment. He gently placed Hao Xiaohei on the table, straightened his back, straightened his face, and revealed a hidden light in his eyes.
"Lao Dai, what did you find?"
Upon hearing this, Dai Guoqing subconsciously shrank his neck, rubbed his hands nervously, and looked slightly nervous.
What he is doing now is called reporting, which is commonly known as filing a lawsuit. It can be big or small. If you don't handle it well, you will get into trouble.
Old Hao glanced at him, and his little thoughts were immediately clear. He handed him a cigarette, lit it himself, and encouraged him in a gentle tone:
"It's okay, Lao Dai. Don't be nervous. Speak freely. If something really happens, you will be credited. If nothing happens, just treat it as a joke."
With the reassurance in his stomach, Dai Guoqing suddenly felt confident and started talking:
"Hao Ke, I did encounter a situation, but my brain is not working well and I can't tell you correctly. After thinking about it, I'd better come over and give you a few words first."
Dai Guoqing was still laying the groundwork, trying to clear away his responsibilities. Hao Shanhe chuckled lightly and said in a calm tone:
"Oh, okay, Lao Dai, let's just treat it as a casual chat. Tell us, what happened?"
Lao Dai took a long puff of cigarette and finally made up his mind:
"Hao Ke, it's like this. The train that just arrived at the station from Liao Province was picked up by Zhou Wang, the chief of the dispatching department. On the train~~"
Lao Dai told what he had just seen and heard. He knew it quite well. He did not add any exaggeration and basically restored the truth.
"Hao Ke, this is probably the process. These two people look a little, well, I can't tell. How should I put it? It just doesn't feel normal."
Old Haotou listened to him quietly, thought for a moment, and slowly exhaled the smoke:
"Lao Dai, can you see clearly what these two people look like?"
Dai Guoqing shook his head quickly: "It was dark and far away, so I couldn't see clearly."
Old Haotou asked again: "Where is Old Huang?"
Lao Huang is a train driver and an employee of the steel rolling mill. He drove the locomotive to drag the billet cargo compartment back.
There is no doubt that this is not a rare thing in today's large state-owned factories. There are many factories in the Northeast and there are also their own railways.
However, upon hearing this, Dai Guoqing perked up and sneered disdainfully:
"Hey! Don't mention this grandson. He jumped up as soon as the train entered the station. Didn't he just renew his relationship? He is also a top student of the Normal University.
I'm only 22 years old today. With that face and that waistline, tsk tsk, if Lao Huang can afford such a good cabbage in his life, it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise~~. "
"Okay, Lao Dai, I understand the situation. You can go back first."
Dai Guoqing's tone was both envious and jealous. Lao Hao didn't want to listen to him talking about his wife, so he rubbed his chin to interrupt him, and stood up while supporting the table.
"Okay, okay, the two leaders will be busy first, and I will take my leave."
Dai Guoqing shut his mouth sensibly and turned to leave. Old Hao Tou put out his cigarette butt:
"Let's go! Wang Yang, let's go to the guest house together."
Wang Yang nodded noncommittally: "Okay."
Just as he was about to go out, Lao Hao suddenly stopped and sat back slowly.
He took out the key and opened the drawer, took out a well-maintained and shiny Kapai beater, and put it in the pocket of his cotton coat. He also brought a spare magazine.
"Uncle Hao, what are you doing?"
Wang Yang's eyelids twitched and his heart suddenly jumped. As he walked out, Old Haotou replied casually:
"Let's go, be prepared. I haven't received my gun for a long time. The gun room director and the others should have all fallen asleep by now and are too lazy to bother others."
Old Haotou was seriously ill and had to prepare for his funeral, so he naturally handed over his gun. After he recovered, he never received it.
"My virtue is buried deep in my throat. If I still need to use a knife or a gun myself, something big will happen."
These were Old Hao Tou's exact words at that time, and Wang Yang remembered them very clearly.
In the corridor on the second floor, Wang Yang asked tentatively:
"Uncle Hao, I guess they are just two young masters who couldn't stand the hardship and fled back to Sijiu City. Why don't you just rest and I'll take my comrades over to have a look."
Old Hao raised his hand and glanced at his watch, and replied in a deep voice:
"It's 9:05 now. They have just completed the patrol change. Don't bother them. It's not far. Let's take a stroll over and have a look. It's in the factory area anyway, so there won't be any trouble."
Wang Yang thought it made sense, so he stopped worrying about it.
To be honest, Hao Shanhe didn't think much about it. After all, under this special situation, the demons and ghosts outside really didn't have the guts to break into the Forty-Nine City.
Similar to Wang Yang's judgment, he also thought it was the young master who sneaked back to Sijiu City. Such a situation is not uncommon nowadays.
After all, in the current China, there are not many cities that can compete with the Four Nine Cities in terms of prosperity. It is estimated that the only one is the Magic City. In addition, the materials are relatively more abundant, at least you can eat enough.
As for only bringing Wang Yang along, the reason is that the fewer people who know how to handle this kind of thing, the better. Who knows what these two men are like?
What if it really breaks the news?
Besides, if it is handled properly, it might help Wang Yang form a good relationship. Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. Who knows what will happen in the future.
The guest house of the steel rolling mill is located in the South District, not far from the factory office building. On the dark road, Wang Yang suddenly approached the sound of Haoshan River and asked in a low voice:
"Uncle Hao, where is your head now?"
It was extremely cold at night, and the northwest wind blew like a ghost. Old Hao was afraid of the cold, so he shrank his head, raised his collar, and put his hands into his sleeves.
Originally he didn't want to talk to Wang Yang, but after thinking about it again, Old Haotou still replied in a muffled voice:
"How the hell do I know? Anyway, it could be anywhere except China."
Nonsense, but it is also the truth. Wang Yang sighed with a melancholy tone: "Hey, I don't know if I can live well with my head outside?"
"cut!"
Old Haotou sneered and said in a joking tone:
"A wolf travels a thousand miles to eat meat, and a dog travels a thousand miles to eat shit. That hozen is extremely capable. Not only is he ruthless, he is also ruthless. He can't suffer any loss. Why does he still need you to worry about him?"
Wang Yang's face showed an expression of arrogance and pride:
"That's right! The head is an evil god, an invincible existence in the world~"
At night, the lights in the emergency room of Guyana Free Trade Zone Hospital, which had been on for several hours, finally went out.
German surgeon De Waal, who had worked continuously for 24 hours, walked out of the operating room with a tired face. Everyone was outside the corridor.
Hanwen took the lead, rushed in front of him, and asked anxiously:
"Dr. de Waal, how is she?"
Taking off his mask that was wet with sweat, De Waal shook his head dejectedly.
Seeing his reaction, Hanwen suddenly felt shocked, his eyes widened suddenly, and he sat down on the ground.
Du Tie, Du Lan, Du Nan, and Du Hani, who had already woken up, had their eyes red almost at the same time, with their canthus cracked.
"It's okay. She has passed the critical period."
De Waal's voice sounded half a beat later. Hanwen, who had just sat on the ground, jumped up like a spring, surprised and happy.
"What? She's okay, fuck! Then you just shake your head!"
Hanwen clenched his fists and spoke his native language in a hurry. De Waal didn't understand Chinese and looked at him in confusion:
"What? Are you feeling uncomfortable too? But I need to rest for a while before I can check you out."
"Okay, don't show your face here."
Su Li pushed Hanwen away, walked to the front, and asked in a deep voice:
"Dr. de Waal, is she awake?"
De Waal nodded:
"Yes, she is conscious, but the anesthetic has not worn off yet, so you'd better not disturb her rest."
"Okay, thank you doctor, I understand. You guys, wait outside."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Li opened the door and walked into the ward. De Waal was stunned and couldn't help but cursed.
On the hospital bed, Guo Fu was wrapped like a mummy, with various tubes inserted into her body. When she heard the movement, she narrowed her eyes and opened her mouth with difficulty:
"Master, master~"
She didn't make the slightest sound at all, but Su Li understood lip reading and understood what she meant.
"The casualties were huge. Kunpeng's army was broken in half, Hanwen and the others were injured, the Phoenix Hotel was completely destroyed, and the Free Trade Zone and Shengzhi Town also suffered serious losses."
Upon hearing this, Guo Fu's eyes showed sadness and were instantly covered with a layer of mist, but Su Li's voice was terrifyingly calm, even a little cold:
"Guo Fu, now is not the time to wipe away tears. I want to use money, pensions, conscription, and reconstruction."
Du Weiguo entrusted Guo Fu with all the money on Kuiana's side. She was in charge of both public and private accounts.
Now, there is a total of more than 35 million US dollars in Guyana's public account. Previously, in order to expand the army, Du Weiguo also handed over one of his private accounts to Guo Fu, which contained 50 million US dollars.
After last night's test of blood and fire, Guo Fu had obviously matured. She quickly calmed down her emotions and said silently:
"I understand, master, I said, you remember."
The child finally grew up. Su Li had a look of relief in his eyes and nodded with satisfaction:
"good."
After talking about the account number and password, Guo Fu added weakly:
"Master, our factories and casinos can be stopped first. We must not treat our brothers badly~"
"Okay, have a good rest."
"master!"
Su Li responded and was about to stand up and leave when Guo Fu suddenly called out urgently. Perhaps because she was too excited, she barely made a sound.
"Don't worry, he will be fine and will come back safely."
Su Li was well versed in human nature and understood what she meant, so he comforted her gently, but Guo Fu refused to give up and still stared at him.
Sighing secretly, Su Li patted her hand helplessly and explained softly:
"Last night seemed difficult, but in fact the other party didn't make a killing move at all. If they really wanted to kill you, they only needed one missile or a few rockets.
The reason for making such a big noise was just to force Wesley to come back and show up, so he must be fine. "
Upon hearing this, Guo Fu's eyes suddenly showed a look of relief, and then she closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep. To be precise, she should have fainted.
Alas, ask the world, what is love? Does it mean life and death?
Su Li muttered to himself with emotion, glanced at Guo Fu with sadness and pity, turned around decisively and left the ward.
After walking out of the ward, Hanwen and others immediately swarmed up and asked anxiously:
"Mr. Su, how is Guo Fu?"
Su Li rolled her eyes at him:
"Didn't Dr. De Waal say everything just now? She has passed the danger and is asleep now. Hanwen, I will contact Manny immediately. You can take Wesley's special plane, take Du Tie with you, and go to Paris immediately."
"Lisbon! Isn't it Suriname?"
Hanwen's eyes widened with a look of disbelief on his face. Su Li curled his lips and scolded angrily:
"Can you please be smarter? We need to provide pensions, rebuild the free trade zone, St. John's Town, and recruit soldiers. All of these require real money.
There was not enough money in the National Bank of Guyana in the city, so I had to go to Lisbon to withdraw money before I could go to Suriname. "
Hanwen licked his lips subconsciously:
"Mr. Su, we are at war with the Freemasons right now. Europe is their home base. At this juncture, is it appropriate for me to go to Lisbon?"
Upon hearing this, the corners of Su Li's mouth raised slightly:
"What? Are you scared? Hanwen, didn't you vow before that you would challenge the Freemasons' lair alone?"
Hanwen blushed and frowned:
"Uh~ Mr. Su, please don't be ashamed of me. What do you mean? Please make it clear."
Su Li did not answer immediately, but took out the cigarette case and pulled out a cigarette. Hanwen quickly lit it for him and asked in a mysterious and low voice:
"Mr. Su, please give me a thorough letter. Are you in Lisbon right now?"
"ha!"
Su Li laughed angrily at his magical brain circuit and almost choked on the cigarette:
"What the hell? You really can imagine that you went to Lisbon this time just to withdraw money!"
Hanwen was completely confused by him, his brows were furrowed tightly, and the other children also looked at him with confused expressions.
"Think about it, not long after our free trade zone opened, we have been hit by people one after another, causing heavy losses. How can we do this business in the future? Who dares to come?"
Exhaling a breath of smoke, Su Li said in a faint tone:
"There are countless pairs of eyes outside now, staring at our big fat piece of meat. They are all waiting to see our next reaction.
This time Hanwen took Wesley's special plane to withdraw money from the Freemasons' territory.
Firstly, it is for subsequent pensions and reconstruction, and secondly, it also sends a signal to the outside world that our free trade zone has survived. "
After a pause, Su Li crushed out the cigarette butt, and said in a sonorous and murderous tone:
"We, the Evil Gods, are not afraid to fight if we don't accept it!"
Upon hearing this, Hanwen and the others were immediately excited, their blood surged, and their evil spirits soared to the sky! (End of chapter)
