"That guy's current identity is Powell Yorkman, a tobacco merchant from country S. He started to expand his business in country L last year. Not long ago, he got on line with the Smail family." Jonathan said lazily, " I'm not very clear about the news in country S, the local forces there are more difficult to deal with, but this person should have a lot to do with the underground criminal group there."
"Tobacco business?" Qi Yan frowned slightly.
Jonathan laughed, "You guessed it right, this man is in the drug business. And I guess his so-called business expansion in country L is not pure."
Shu Zimu on the side was a little surprised when he heard the words, but thinking about a criminal who can deliberately engage in cultural relics smuggling, it is normal to further covet the profits of the drug business.
"It's not easy for him to grab the market in country L, isn't it?" Qi Yan said. Country L is not as chaotic and poor as Country S, and drug control is still relatively strict. Of course, it is difficult to completely eradicate this kind of thing, but the market must already be controlled by a more entrenched local gangster. It is not only difficult but also dangerous to rob them of their wealth. Sex is great. In comparison, of course it is easier to go to a place with a lower level of development, unless he already has a lot of connections in country L.
"Of course it's not easy, but he's also a little bit capable, and he hooked up with the Smail family." Jonathan said with a sneer, "But it's not bad, little Smail is an idiot, others want to clean up, he still Go back and get black."
The Smail family, like the Scarlett family to which Jonathan belongs, are big chaebols in country L, and the two still have some old grievances. Although there are some cooperations based on the relationship of interests, if there is a chance to ridicule the other party or even add insult to injury, they will definitely not Will be soft.
Compared with the status of Scarlet's family, which is more and more prosperous, Smail has gone downhill for a long time, and he is increasingly being overwhelmed by other chaebols. Of course, the members of the Smail family will not be reconciled to this. Naturally, they are racking their brains to regain their original power and status. To this end, they have tried various means, and their performance in the mall has become more and more impatient recently. But even so, it failed to bring improvement and new life to this old chaebol, but made it more and more loopholes, accelerating the tragic decline step by step.
It may also be due to this factor that the Smail family intends to get involved in the lucrative drug industry.
The little Smail that Jonathan mentioned is the current ruler of the Smail family. This person took over the burden after his grandfather died. His father was an ignorant playboy, so his grandfather didn't think about his father, and directly Treat Jr. Small as a successor. But to Jonathan and many others, the choice wasn't much better. Little Smail is incapable and has a bad temper. He is mercenary but doesn't know how to make money. Over the years, the people under him are almost out of control, and the business is getting worse and worse. On the contrary, he made a crooked attention, and he was indeed worthy of Jonathan's call that he was a fool.
But Jonathan is of course happy to see the results. Although Smail is also a big business now, drugs are not so easy to touch. If there is a chance to defeat the Smail family in one fell swoop, I think I will What a benefit. Even if the blow wasn't thorough this time, it still managed to bite off a piece of meat.
But these things have nothing to do with Qi Yan and the others, and Jonathan mainly reminded them of the part that is related to them.
"I had someone keep a close eye on this Powell's movements, and found that he suddenly went to country Y. I guess it's probably because Little Smail is not stupid enough for that, and he doesn't plan to directly grab business in country L, but arranges this The guy wants to develop around country Y, use arms to open up the situation there, and then he can make a lot of money, so it's not easy to find him." Jonathan said, "The largest market around country Y is Huaguo, what you gave According to the information, Lance Pater smuggled from China to country Y to escape arrest, and it is estimated that this person has some way there. I think he may change his disguise and enter China again to engage in drug business."
Compared with the previous ones, this news is a bit serious for Qi Yan and the others. Although they didn't have a direct enmity with Lance, the entry of big drug dealers backed by the forces behind them is definitely not a trivial matter. Moreover, Lance was also charged with smuggling cultural relics.
In any case, knowing the news in advance, it is impossible for Qi Yan to sit idly by. He said to Jonathan: "I see, can you give me a copy of the detailed information you checked?"
Jonathan nodded, "Of course. Are you going to remind the Huaguo Public Security Department to arrest people? If you are caught, it's best to interrogate Smail. I will definitely be willing to provide information to cooperate with the investigation."
Qi Yan said: "Try your best, it may not be that easy."
Jonathan just said that, and didn't really have much hope, and he didn't continue talking about this topic for long.
After that, Qi Yan took advantage of his status to tell his eldest brother Qi Heng about the incident, and then Qi Heng raised this issue with the senior officials in charge of related work in private. Because the materials and evidence prepared by Qi Yan were quite sufficient, this news was taken seriously, and related actions were quickly and secretly arranged. However, Qi Yan and Shu Zimu cannot participate in the following matters.
Because of Lance, Qi Yan and Shu Zimu naturally remembered the Xue family who were deceived by Lance, so they took a look at their recent situation. Then they discovered that it was almost time for Xue Li to be released from prison.
Xue Li's original sentence was five years, but because of Qi Yan's arrangement, it was extended for more than one year due to various factors, but he is about to be released from prison now.
Of course, Xue Li didn't have a good life in prison. Although his actual age was less than fifty when he was released from prison, he looked old in his sixties or seventies. And not only the appearance, but the internal condition of the body has also deteriorated significantly, and the life expectancy is greatly reduced.
Knowing that Xue Li was about to be released from prison, Qi Yan was a little worried that the other party would pester Shu Zimu again. This possibility is very high, because with the current state of the Xue family members, Xue Li will definitely not accept it willingly after he is released from prison.
Although Shu Zimu doesn't have to be afraid of Xue Li looking for trouble at all, it is not a happy thing to be targeted by his biological father.
Shu Zimu also had such a guess, but he didn't take it to heart. Xue Li hadn't succeeded before, let alone now.
When Xue Li was released from prison, no one went to the prison to pick him up.
Although he had guessed this matter a long time ago, Xue Li still found it difficult to accept it when faced with it. Especially when the people who were released from prison in the same period were hugged and cried bitterly by their relatives, the comparison showed the desolation of his lonely family.
He could only describe it as being in a state of embarrassment and after searching around with difficulty, he finally found Yao Yue's current residence.
It was a small and cramped rental house. Originally, the few houses they had left were rented out. Yao Yue had no job and had to take care of Xue Lin and Xue Yu, so he could only live on rent.
Yao Yue went to the hospital, Xue Li waited at the door until the other party came back at night. When she saw Xue Li, she showed strong disgust after being surprised.
The two had a big fight, and even moved their hands. As a result, Xue Li, who had a lot of internal injuries, failed to restrain Yao Yue, and was beaten severely instead. In the end, Yao Yue gave him a few hundred yuan and asked him to take care of himself in the future. His part of the rent in the house was considered as medical expenses for Xue Lin and Xue Yu, and they had nothing to do with each other in the future.
Yao Yue has been taking care of a pair of lingering sick children in the past few years, and her life is becoming more and more hopeless day by day. The condition of the two children who have never improved made her see no hope, and Xue Li, who was released from prison, she had no hope at all. In fact, although she did not divorce Xue Li in order not to share the remaining assets, she never visited Xue Li after throwing away the illegitimate child.
After these years of hard life, Yao Yue's thoughts gradually changed a lot. For Shu Zimu, she was full of hatred at the beginning, but after gradually adapting to the hard life, the hatred became less and less. On the one hand, it was because she gradually realized that they were to blame, but the other party did not kill them all. On the other hand, it was because she knew that no matter how much she hated herself, there was no possibility of revenge, and she was exhausted physically and mentally every day taking care of the two patients, and she could no longer think of hating each other. Energized.
This change of thinking also happened to Xue Li. Yao Yue discovered that the person who made her not hesitate to get involved in other people's marriages was actually selfish and cold-blooded, and was not worthy of trust and dependence at all. Therefore, she did not expect Xue Li as her husband to take care of this dilapidated family, and she did not even ask for more money that the other party might have in the future, but chose to part ways completely. If the other party had a conscience, she wouldn't stop him from visiting the child, but that's all.
However, rather than worrying about these two children who are almost useless, Xue Li wants to know the news of the illegitimate son who is physically and mentally sound.
Although Xue Li was in an accident, Yao Yue didn't have time to think too much. She quickly made a pot of porridge and hurried to the hospital.
After Xue Li was chased away by Yao Yue, he stood blankly on the busy street for a long time, and finally took the money Yao Yue gave him to find a hostel to stay for one night.
This little money is only enough for a few days of accommodation, and he has nothing to live on, so he can't live on this little money.
This was so different from the life he imagined after he was released from prison. Xue Li thought about it for half the night on the bed in the guest house, and decided to look for Yao Yue again tomorrow.
When Yao Yue saw Xue Li the next day, his disgust became more obvious, but after thinking about it, he still talked to him. During the period, I still couldn't help arguing a few times, but Xue Li suffered a disadvantage yesterday, so he held back and didn't take the initiative to do it again, and it was barely a normal conversation.
Yao Yue asked to have nothing to do with each other, Xue Li was not very reluctant, but asked to give himself a part of the property. He can pay part of Xue Lin and Xue Yu's treatment expenses, but not in the form of rent, unless he sells the house to share the money with him.
Xue Li has nothing now, but he feels that as long as he has the start-up capital, he doesn't mean to make a complete comeback, but it will definitely be no problem to be in the middle class. However, Yao Yue doesn't think so. The rent is her only source of income now, and she absolutely does not agree to sell it. Even if she has more than one house left in her hands, she doesn't want to cheap Xue Li for one house.
Xue Li insisted on divorce and property distribution, while Yao Yue said that she would never sell the house, and Xue Li would sue for divorce if she had the ability. Based on his penniless state, he knew that there was no way to do it.
Xue Li was in a hurry, the two argued to no avail, and finally reached a compromise plan, the house was not sold, Yao Yue gave Xue Li a sum of money, and the two went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to divorce.
Yao Yue sold some of the original Xue family's luxury jewelry and the like, and had a sum of money on hand, but it wasn't too much. She promised to give Xue Li 200,000 yuan, and the other party would give up the property rights of the house accordingly. If the house was sold for a share, Xue Li would naturally get more than 200,000, probably ten times more, but now he has no conditions to bargain with Yao Yue, and he needs money urgently, so he can only agree.
In the past, 200,000 yuan was not at all important, and a meal might cost him almost that amount. Now, 200,000 yuan is his entire net worth. In addition to the start-up capital, even basic necessities of life must be included in it. , what a contrast.
At this time, it's not that he didn't think of Shu Zimu, but he knew that he couldn't offend the Qi family, and he was focused on getting back together to make a lot of money, so he didn't plan to pester her for the time being.
After getting the money, he changed to a better hotel, bought a few more sets of clothes, and started a new business. In order to get money quickly, coupled with the lack of funds, he started a wholesale and reselling business.
As long as the vision is accurate, this business is relatively profitable. If you are steady and do not buy too much at a time, even if you lose money, you will not lose too much.
Xue Li did well the first few times and earned some money, but this did not satisfy him, but made him more courageous. After all, with Xue's market value back then, Xue Li must have looked down on the profits of such a small business.
Xue Li wants more and more profits, but this is not what he wants to do.
Until he saw a batch of furs, he suddenly moved his mind.
