Chapter 2 Getting Rich, Zhang Family
Chapter 2 Get rich and go home
The castle site is not large, only about 20 to 30 acres.
The main building is a two-story building with watchtowers built around it.
At this moment, a shrill alarm sounded in the castle.
It means that foreign enemies have invaded the castle.
All patrolling militants were on high alert, waiting for orders from their superiors.
On the lawn at the entrance, two fully armed security guards were looking around vigilantly with guns in hand.
Two security guards passed each other.
Right here, a hand suddenly stretched out from the ground.
"OMG..."
A security guard just screamed when he was grabbed by the ankle and dragged underground.
The other security guard turned around quickly, but saw no one.
I thought I was seeing things.
I rubbed my eyes, but there was no one there. I couldn't help but screamed, "Shit!"
He quickly fired a shot as a warning.
Then he reported to his superiors: "Poison Wolf, there are unknown creatures invading the door..."
Before he could finish his words, a hand stretched out from the ground again.
The security guard was dragged underground.
In broad daylight, two living people mysteriously disappeared.
The people in the monitoring room were no longer calm.
The militants on the watchtower were also unable to remain calm.
The unknown is the scariest thing.
As more and more people disappeared or were beaten to death.
The castle was in chaos.
Jiang Ning found his captured comrades, but unfortunately they were all dead.
Only one guy survived, he was his compatriot, codenamed Crow.
The crow is not dead, he is with the armed men in the castle.
Jiang Ning killed more than 60 militants in the castle, leaving only three alive.
One is a crow, the other is the head of the castle security.
There is also the owner of the castle, an immortal from the last century.
The old guy can no longer move and his body is full of tubes.
He also lost the ability to speak, and only his eyeballs could still move.
"This old fellow is Moore Lyman?"
Jiang Ning looked at the old man who couldn't move or speak, but whose eyes kept rolling around, and asked the security chief beside him.
The head of security was a white man, and he crippled both of his hands.
His face was full of misery and fear of death.
"Yes!"
Upon hearing this, the security chief nodded hurriedly: "This is Mr. Moore Lehman."
Old man, sir...
Jiang Ning didn't even have the interest to take another look at him and just shot the old man.
Then he glanced at the crow huddled aside.
Then he asked the security chief, "Is this the man who betrayed us?"
The security chief nodded quickly: "Yes!"
The crow also had his arms crippled, and cried bitterly, "Nighthawk, spare my life."
Jiang Ning asked: "Why do you want to betray us?"
Crow's face was grim: "I don't want to be like this either, they force me to do this..."
"boom!"
Jiang Ning didn't want to listen to his nonsense, so he shot him directly.
Just confirm that this guy is a traitor.
As for the reason, go tell the King of Hell when you become a ghost!
He didn't want to hear this guy's nonsense.
After interrogating the security chief, he was also shot dead.
Time is urgent and a team is rushing to the castle.
Jiang Ning searched for a while and found another sum of money, about two million US dollars.
There are also small amounts of gold, diamonds and the like.
Pour gasoline on it and set it on fire.
A huge fire broke out, purifying the castle of its evil.
Amid the roar, an armed helicopter was approaching in the distance.
Jiang Ning took one last look before disappearing underground.
After returning to Brasilia, I found a hotel and had a good rest.
Then count the seized goods.
More than 8 million in cash, mostly in US dollars, with a small amount in euros and pounds.
There are over 500 kilograms of gold, plus cash worth 30 million US dollars.
There is no doubt that this is a huge sum of money.
Even if you go to America, you can achieve financial freedom.
As for diamonds, antiques, and artworks, Jiang Ning doesn't quite understand the market conditions.
I don’t know how much it’s worth, so I’ll put it aside for now.
The team is gone.
The money is there.
Do you want to continue to fight with guns?
No more.
Given a choice, no one would want to beg for food by hanging a bag on their belt.
The reason for choosing to be a mercenary is to make more money.
With 30 million US dollars, why would you be a mercenary?
I don’t miss home when I have no money.
Now that I've made a fortune, I don't want to wander around anymore.
but……
It’s not easy to go home!
It’s not that he doesn’t want to go home in recent years.
But there is no way to go back. I didn’t know anything back then and was cheated.
When they go out, they all go out in small boats.
The passport I am using now was purchased with money, so there is no problem traveling abroad, but I cannot go home as a foreigner. Going to the embassy to apply for a new passport certainly won't work. How did you get out?
How to get home is still a matter of thought.
After thinking about it for a while, I decided not to think about it for now.
He took out the gold and looked at a gold brick.
Glittering with gold, it looked rich. Jiang Ning rubbed his hands together and rolled the gold brick into a ball like dough.
Of course he doesn't have that much strength.
This is the gold of the five elements: the art of controlling gold.
After rubbing it again, the golden ball turned into a gold brick.
But the mark on it is gone.
Jiang Ning followed the same method and rubbed all the gold bricks.
Gold means different things to different people.
For rich people, this thing is an asset.
For the poor, the biggest use of this thing is that it can be exchanged for US dollars.
Why do poor people keep a pile of gold?
You can’t eat it, and you can’t spend it as money.
Jiang Ning is not a rich man and does not need assets like gold.
It must be converted into money.
But I am not familiar with Brazil and have no channels.
So, I stayed in Brasilia for one night and flew to the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
This place is crowded...
There are no direct flights, so you have to fly to South Africa first and then transfer from South Africa.
It took several days to reach Kinshasa.
Find someone to dispose of the gold and the cash as well.
I kept 10 million US dollars and European and American pounds, and exchanged the rest for money from my hometown.
The handling fee is a bit expensive, super expensive.
Jiang Ning had no choice but to accept it. If he wanted to launder the dirty money, the handling fee would not be cheap.
I also have to go to Hong Kong Island to handle the fund transfer procedures.
This is not my hometown, and my soul has nowhere to rest.
Jiang Ning did not want to linger and flew to Hong Kong Island via South Africa.
In the past five years or so, I have basically had no fixed residence.
He is different from his compatriots who do business. He goes wherever there is work. He has no roots and is always drifting. The hometown in his heart has always been the small northwestern county town where he came from and the old bungalow that his parents bought for 30,000 yuan.
Arrived in Hong Kong Island and entered the country with a Greek passport.
I first stayed in a hotel, rested for a night, and then contacted the agent.
We made an appointment at the hotel to negotiate the fee and waited for three days to complete the procedures.
After paying a huge amount of handling fees, I finally laundered the funds.
After layers of deductions, only a little over 100 million yuan was left after converting the 20 million US dollars into local currency.
For safety reasons, Jiang Ning accepted it.
into the night.
An uninhabited coastline on Hong Kong Island.
Jiang Ning stood on the shore, looking at the brilliant lights in the distance.
Over there is Shenzhen City. I can go home just by going over there.
Unfortunately, the right path is not feasible.
Fortunately, I have a plug-in, otherwise it would be very troublesome to go home.
Jiang Ning looked around for a while, then used the earth escape technique to sink into the ground.
If the land doesn’t work, then we will reach the sea.
Then he used water escape to rush towards the bright lights in the distance.
Once in the water, he was more at ease than any marine creature.
The sea water seemed to be a part of his body, pushing him forward rapidly.
The speed is much faster than earth escape, estimated to be 80 kilometers per hour.
Half an hour later, we reached the shore at an uninhabited beach in Nanshan District.
After leaving the park, I took a taxi to a hotel and stayed there.
The next day I went to buy a mobile phone and applied for a SIM card.
Fortunately, I didn’t lose my ID card, otherwise I would be in trouble.
I called Jiang Ma first, but no one answered.
I called again, and it rang for a long time before the call was connected.
"Hey."
"Mom, it's me."
"what!"
Zhang Yulan was stunned: "Jiang Ning?"
"Ah."
"Where are you?"
"In Shencheng, preparing to go home tomorrow."
"Really? You're back?"
"Really? I just arrived in Shenzhen today."
"Good good..."
Zhang Yulan said three "OK"s and then started crying.
I was choking with sobs and couldn't speak.
It had been more than five years since his son left. If he hadn't called home occasionally, he would have been thought dead abroad. Suddenly, he heard that his son had returned, and he was excited and sad. Jiang Ning comforted him for a long time and asked, "Why didn't you answer the phone for so long?"
Zhang Yulan said: "I thought it was a scam call!"
Jiang Ning: "..."
Are scammers so rampant in my hometown?
After chatting with Jiang’s mother for a while, I called Jiang’s father.
Dad Jiang is not at home. He is working outside.
After chatting with Jiang's father for a while, he called his brother Jiang Hua.
After returning to the hotel, I booked a flight for Zhang Mingtian to fly back to his hometown in the provincial capital.
The next day, I flew to the provincial capital and then took a four-hour train ride before I got home.
Bei'an, the train slowly stopped at the platform.
Jiang Ning put on his backpack and followed the crowd off the train.
Looking around, it feels familiar yet strange.
After five years away, it feels like the train station in my hometown hasn't changed much.
Still small and broken.
It's November now and it's already winter in the north.
Jiang Ning couldn't help but shiver. The climate difference was quite big when he suddenly returned to the northern hemisphere from the hot African savannah. It was okay in Shenzhen, where he could still wear short sleeves, but it was not the case in the north. His fellow passengers looked at him strangely.
Wear short sleeves in the middle of winter.
This is really...
Not afraid of the cold!
After leaving the station, I saw my brother Jiang Hua who came to pick me up from a distance.
