Boss Duan has been staying in Liancheng for half a month. His subordinates couldn't help but urge him: "Boss, we are here to do things according to Boss Ma's orders. If you keep dragging it out, I'm afraid it will be difficult to report back."
It has been several days since they arrived, but there has been no movement from Boss Duan. This is really hard to understand.
Boss Duan chuckled softly, not showing any sign of being anxious. He raised his eyebrows and stood in front of the window, squinting his eyes: "No hurry, what's the hurry? Wait a little longer."
The men didn't know what he was waiting for, but this time Boss Ma had already given instructions that they should listen to Boss Duan in everything. Ever since Boss Duan brought the woman on board, Boss Duan has become a popular figure around Boss Ma. Since he said he wanted to wait, they had no choice but to wait with Boss Duan.
Boss Duan asked his subordinates to guard the house and went out in the afternoon.
He went to Jinglian Temple in the east of Liancheng. As soon as he entered the door and handed in the invitation, a monk came out to greet him. He put his hands together and chanted a Buddhist prayer. He then led him in and said, "Please come here, my dear believer. The distinguished guest inside has been waiting for you for a long time."
Boss Duan nodded and followed him into the temple. They walked around to a small Zen temple built on the mountain. Before entering the door, he smiled and bowed, "I'm late. Please don't blame me, sir."
"What sir?" The man turned around and it was Liu Jie who was supposed to be in the capital.
Liu Jie smiled and said, "I'm just an errand boy. Boss Duan thinks too highly of me." As he spoke, he casually called Boss Duan, "Sit down. We are all family. There is no need for such politeness."
Even though he said that, Boss Duan still smiled and shook his head: "You can't abandon etiquette, sir. We have been here for more than half a month. What should we do now? If we delay any longer, I will have a hard time reporting to Huizhou."
Of course, Young Master Chen was able to give Butterfly Dance to Boss Duan with the help of Liu Jie. They have developed a tacit understanding with each other during this period of time, and now they seem to be visiting each other frequently.
"Almost there." Liu Jie knocked on the table. The tea in the Zen temple was light and refreshing. He took a sip and put it down. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Boss Duan: "It's almost time to act. Boss Duan, I won't hide it from you. We each get what we need. You can go a step further and get access to channels at sea, expand your business network, and get greater benefits. As for us, we need to teach these Southeast families a lesson. I think we should have a consensus on this point."
This is natural, Boss Duan nodded hurriedly, and he was very happy about it.
The smuggling business in the southeast is basically controlled by wealthy families. The reason why he can get a share of the profits is because he has the support of Boss Ma.
But if there is a chance, who wouldn’t want to go a step further and not just follow others’ advice all their lives
In the past, for Boss Duan, a person like Bai Qiye was like heaven and earth. How could a mortal like him touch him? But now, Bai Qiye fell into his trap without knowing it. How satisfying was this
After suppressing these wealthy families, he was able to gain further respect from his superiors with the good things he sold this time, which was naturally what he was looking forward to.
So he nodded and smiled hurriedly: "Yes, Sixth Young Master, please speak clearly. I will obey any instructions you have!"
Liu Jie felt that something was wrong. What kind of name was "Sixth Young Master"? His last name was not Liu.
But now is not the time to care about these things. He coughed and touched his chin: "Okay, Boss Duan can start now."
This was exactly what Boss Duan was waiting for. Upon hearing it, he quickly responded with a yes and went out without any hesitation.
There are many banyan trees planted in Jinglian Temple, all of which are old. Liujie went out and stood on the terrace extending outside the Zen temple, watching Boss Duan's back disappear in the sea of clouds, and slowly put on a smile.
In the Liancheng prefectural government office, Xu Fengqing covered his face and shook his head dejectedly: "No, no, no, Uncle Hai, how can I...if I turn myself in, how can I survive? All the things I have done over the years are crimes punishable by death!"
Smuggling, condoning human trafficking, and having a relationship with those remnants...
How can he turn himself in? !
To put it bluntly, if he was pushed out by Bai Qiye to die as a scapegoat, he might have died alone. At least Bai Qiye and his men would have to treat his family better in order to keep the people working for them. But once he surrendered, let alone the court wanting to cut him into pieces and punish his entire clan, even those people in the court who he would implicate, would they tolerate him living
I must eat him alive!
He was so nervous that the hairs on his body stood up. Without waiting for Uncle Hai to say anything else, he shook his head and stood up: "Uncle Hai, you don't have to say anything more. I can listen to you on other matters, but not on this matter. Even if I don't consider myself, I have to think about my children..."
Uncle Hai looked at him gloomily. Just as he was about to say something, there was a knock on the door. Then Madam Xu rushed in with a pale face. She didn't care about Uncle Hai and grabbed Xu Fengqing's arm first: "Master, seal off the city! Seal off the city to find Lu'er, Lu'er is in trouble!"
Lu'er is their youngest daughter. Mrs. Xu had been worried these days and was always afraid that something might happen to them at home, so she contacted her family a few days ago and asked someone to send her youngest daughter to her parents' home for a while.
Xu Fengqing didn't react for a moment, and when he did, he stood up and said, "What's going on? Didn't we ask Lao Liu and the others to escort him? Why is he missing for no reason?"
Mrs. Xu had already started crying like a tearful person: "Old Liu and his friends came back and said that the people who took Lu'er away seemed to be from Japan... ... We don't know where they came from..."
Xu Fengqing was so frightened that his limbs turned cold.
Mrs. Xu's parents' home was in Songjiang, and there were indeed frequent invasions by Japanese pirates.
But those Japanese pirates usually just looted some places along the coast for a while and then left. According to the distance they traveled, Lu'er and his men might not even have entered Songjiang yet...
Unless someone has been keeping an eye on their house for a long time.
Uncle Hai immediately said, "Sir, I'm afraid that Master Bai Qi and his men have taken action."
Xu Fengqing turned his head sharply and stared at him: "Boss Duan and his men are also in Liancheng. Maybe Shen Hai is seeking revenge."
Uncle Hai shook his head and looked at him calmly and frankly: "Sir, if it is really Shen Hai's revenge, there is no need to be so roundabout. Think about it yourself. The Japanese people may not only have Shen Hai to command them. Master Bai Qi can also do it."
Especially since Mr. Bai Qi had specially written a letter to Xu Fengqing before, it seemed that he wanted to stabilize Xu Fengqing first.
