Chapter 379: Brother-sister relationship
Chapter 379: Brother-sister relationship
Technical Group Office.
Du Changcheng is testing the stability of a new conductive ignition device.
"Old Du, what happened?" Hu Lingying asked anxiously.
"This device is connected to explosives and will explode immediately if the other party starts the car.
“In the past, our old three sets often required very long leads.
"Or if it is roughly connected to the car, it is easy to cause a dud, and the explosive body is too large and extremely easy to be discovered.
"Compared with the past, today's small bombs are much more powerful, easier to conceal, and more stable when detonated.
"Unfortunately, it is not possible to achieve ignition and detonation through electronic remote sensing at present.
"Otherwise, you can bomb whoever you want!
“That’s cool.”
Du Changcheng said very professionally.
“It’s enough to blow up the car.
"What do you want to do with Hong Zhiyou's matter?" Hu Lingying asked.
“I originally wanted to poison him.
“But Hong Zhi’s lunch, fruits, and even drinking water were all specially provided.
“It’s hard to find an opportunity to do it, and it’s also very easy for people to find out.
“So, I still prefer sniping.
"If we can kill him with one shot, or shoot him from behind, it can save a lot of trouble."
Du Changcheng gave an experienced analysis.
"Okay, I'll arrange this.
"As for the sniper, Lao Ba will do. He used to be the ace sniper of Bai Chongxi's army.
“But it’s not easy to find a shooting spot.
"I drove around the route last night and searched everywhere. There were no good shooting spots near Zhishanyan and where Hong Zhiyou lived. The population around here had just been checked, so it wasn't easy to start," said Hu Lingying.
"Don't worry, there is still time. We can always find an opportunity." Du Changcheng said.
"By the way, does the Director know?" Hu Lingying asked.
“Confused.
“How could the officer know?
“You and I just do things for money.
"The director doesn't know, and we don't know who is looking for us."
Du Changcheng glared at him and said.
"Right.
“He’s a big shot, so he won’t show his face.
“We are different.
"You say that officers like us are nothing now. We can be hit by a brick thrown on the street.
"Look at Old Wu. When he was solving the Chai Qian case, he slept on the third floor every day and ate imported fruits. He was promoted to lieutenant general even when he was lying down.
"What about us?
"Mao Wanli and Gu Zhengwen ran themselves into pieces like cattle and horses.
“Forget about promotion or reward, there is not even any verbal reward.
"Jianfeng and Hong Zhiyou took away everything, including the plates and meat. Not only did they take them away, they also overturned the table and refused to give us a single bite of food.
“Son of a bitch!
“I’ve seen through the world a long time ago. Whoever has money is right. Whoever has money has the final say. Even rich people’s farts smell good.
"For people like us who don't have any connections, we can only do rough work and take the blame."
When Hu Lingying heard that Director Mao was an invisible man again, he couldn't help but sneer and complain.
"Why do you talk so much nonsense?
"If the director hadn't sent a plane to take us to Wandao, you would have stayed on the mainland and carried manure.
“Everything is fake, let’s get the money first.
"After the matter is done, I will give you another 20,000 US dollars."
Du Changcheng frowned in dissatisfaction.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."
"hey-hey!
"There are some pretty hot chicks at Nanshan Dance Hall. I plan to keep one of them when I get the money."
Hu Lingying blinked and laughed.
Du Changcheng ignored him.
He only likes gambling, and women will only affect his luck in making money.
As he was speaking, the door rang.
Hu Lingying opened the door and was quite surprised to see Yu Zecheng:
"Hey, isn't this Assistant Yu?"
"Is Team Leader Du here?" Yu Zecheng asked with a gentle smile.
"Is there anything wrong, Lao Yu?" Du Changcheng said.
"It's like this. There's a problem with the phone in the Secretary-General's office. You're a technical expert, can you help check it out?" Yu Zecheng said.
"Can.
“But I have to pack up my tools first, why don’t you go to the office and wait for me.
"I'll be down soon."
Du Changcheng's eyes turned secretly, and he immediately agreed.
"Okay, I'm done."
After Yu Zecheng left, Du Changcheng laughed:
"Old Hu, isn't this the opportunity?
"Go get two of the latest monitoring devices. I'll quietly install the bugs while I'm repairing the phone.
"By then, Hong Zhiyou's whereabouts will be under our control.
"It's as easy as killing a pig or a dog to snipe him."
"I'll get it right away." Hu Lingying was also very happy.
Soon, they arrived at the third floor.
"Secretary-General, what's going on?" Du Changcheng asked.
"Team Leader Du, there's something wrong with my phone. The power is on, but the numbers I dial are all empty and I can't receive calls.
"Look what went wrong."
Hong Zhiyou handed him a cigarette and instructed.
“This telephone line looks like it was built by the Japanese.
“A lot of wires are still hidden in the wall.
“It may take some time to overhaul.”
"How about this, you guys take a rest first, and leave this to us."
Du Changcheng looked around and said with some trouble.
"Need not.
"I have always been interested in these technological gadgets, so this is a good opportunity for me to observe and learn." Hong Zhiyou pretended to be wary and distrustful.
"Okay, then let's check it first." Du Changcheng groaned inwardly.
The two of them deliberately checked here and there in the room, delaying time to look for an opportunity.
Hong Zhiyou was staring at it intently from the side.
From time to time, I ask them some common sense about circuit maintenance.
The two of them were very confused.
I'm worried about not finding an opportunity.
Sun Xing walked in and said, "Secretary-General, someone from Hualien County came and said that the site for the shoe factory has been selected and they want to report to you in person."
"Fine.
"Old Yu, make a cup of tea for Team Leader Du. Don't be lazy."
Hong Zhiyou blinked, said something and walked out.
"Team Leader Du, Brother Hu, have some tea, have some tea."
Yu Zecheng held the teapot and poured tea for the two of them.
Du Changcheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and gave Hu Lingying a wink.
The latter immediately understood, holding the teacup, his eyes fell on the chessboard beside him, and deliberately tried to find a topic to attract Yu Zecheng's attention:
"Assistant Yu, do you like playing chess, too?"
"What? Brother Hu, you are also a person with the same hobby?" Yu Zecheng asked happily.
"certainly.
"I used to make money from this thing..." Hu Lingying started chatting excitedly.
Yu Zecheng pretended to be a chess fanatic. At first, he glanced at Du Changcheng, but as the conversation went on, he became more and more excited and his attention was completely drawn to him.
Du Changcheng took the opportunity to disassemble the phone and installed the micro-eavesdropping device into it.
After assembling the telephone, he said:
“Assistant Yu, there’s no problem with the call, it should be a problem with the line.
"Old Hu, stop chatting. The Secretary General is waiting. Get to work."
"Old Yu, let's play two games against the sky. I'll go to work first." Hu Lingying said hurriedly.
"Yep.
"Look at my chess addiction, I get addicted once I get involved.
"Get down to business first, get down to business."
Yu Zecheng laughed and laughed.
Then, he put on a serious look and stared at the two of them.
"Old Yu, it's fixed. The line was old and broken. I've replaced it."
Du Changcheng quickly repaired the wires, then picked up the phone and called the technical team office:
"it's me."
"Snapped!"
He hung up the phone: "No problem, it's all fixed."
"It's hard work for Team Leader Du to come and do this personally.
"It's just a small gift, please accept it."
Yu Zecheng took out one thousand US dollars and divided it between the two of them.
"Old Yu, you're too polite." Du Changcheng laughed dryly.
“That’s what the Secretary-General meant.
"You know, he loves making friends the most. He would love to make more friends with technical elites like you two," Yu Zecheng said tactfully.
"Then we'll respectfully obey your command." Du Changcheng stuffed it into his pocket and said with a smile.
"Lao Yu, I'll play a few games with you some other day.
"gone."
Hu Lingying patted Yu Zecheng on the shoulder, and the two of them walked away quickly.
"Is it installed?" he asked in a low voice as he walked.
"rest assured.
"This new type of telephone monitoring component is very small and difficult to detect.
“Even if he opened it, it would be hard for non-professionals to tell.
"Quite safe."
Du Changcheng said proudly.
"Okay, from now on I will monitor the technical room 24 hours a day. I don't believe that I can't find an opportunity to assassinate him." Hu Lingying said.
After half an hour.
Hong Zhiyou returned to the office.
Didn't go in.
The two of them were talking in low voices in the corridor outside the door.
"How?" he asked with a smile.
"They fell into the trap. Du Changcheng tinkered with the phone and probably installed a bug in it." Yu Zecheng said.
“These two idiots.
“Can their technology be more advanced than that of the U.S. military?
"Anderson."
Hong Zhiyou smiled and gestured to the foreigner standing beside him.
Anderson picked up the tools and quickly turned on the phone, pointing to one of the small objects and confirming:
"It's got a new type of phone monitoring component installed in it."
"Don't take it down, otherwise my performance will be in vain." Hong Zhiyou said.
"So Jiang Hu and Du Changcheng are coming for you?" Yu Zecheng frowned.
“If it’s true, the Kong family should ask me for a meeting soon.
“Old Yu.
"Don't underestimate this small eavesdropping device.
"I can earn tens of millions more dollars for nothing."
Hong Zhi has the Tao.
"You're really ruthless." Yu Zecheng pointed at him and smiled. "If someone is willing to give it to me, there's no reason for me to refuse." Hong Zhiyou smiled.
……
Confucius's house.
"Mom, you seem to be in a good mood today." Kong Lingwei took off her sunglasses, walked in, picked up a piece of watermelon and started eating it.
"Where is your aunt?" Mrs. Kong asked while cracking melon seeds and raising her eyebrows.
"The Grand Hotel.
"If she doesn't do more work, she will have even less say in front of her uncle.
"Has my brother's matter been settled?"
She took off her coat and hung it up.
"Have……"
The phone rang. Mrs. Kong raised her chin slightly. Jiang Hu gestured for her to pick it up quickly.
"it's me.
"Okay, I know."
After hanging up the phone, he said, “Du Changcheng has installed a wiretap on Hong Zhiyou’s phone, so the assassination plan can proceed smoothly.
"Madam, we can negotiate with Hong Zhi now."
"Lingwei, how much money do we have?" asked Mrs. Kong.
"The total amount of funds that can be mobilized, gold, and some industries in the Bay Island is about 40 million US dollars," said Kong Lingwei.
"Okay, make a copy of the contract and bring it out to discuss with Hong Zhiyou.
"Of course, if he's not satisfied, he can add another 20 million."
Mrs. Kong ordered.
"Mom, that would require transferring assets from North America and Hong Kong. Father wouldn't agree. Besides, most of the assets here are mine. Why should I give them to Hong Zhiyou just to save my brother?" Kong Lingwei frowned to express his dissatisfaction.
She has always looked down on her eldest brother.
Don't say you hope he dies.
There is no way I'm going to spend my entire fortune to save this second-generation rich guy.
"Do not worry.
"You won't lose anything. I'll write him a check for 60 million U.S. dollars.
"If he doesn't trust, he can write a certified check."
Mrs. Kong said calmly.
"No way, Mom, why did you suddenly become so generous?" Kong Lingwei blinked, very curious.
"This is your brother, how can I not be generous?
"Take the money and go talk to Hong Zhiyou."
Mrs. Kong ordered.
"I'll go see him now." Kong Lingwei said happily.
She stood up, put on her clothes, and walked out quickly.
Mrs. Kong sneered. She said that Hong Zhi had to go and pick up the check in person, as she was afraid that Hong Zhi might not be able to leave Wandao.
……
3:46 pm.
Kong Lingwei came to the office on the third floor.
"Brother!" She knocked on the door lightly, stuck her head out and called out in a mischievous voice.
"Ling Wei is here.
“Quick, come in.
"Lao Yu, you guys go and get busy first."
Hong Zhiyou invited Kong Lingwei to sit on the sofa.
"Brother is now the Secretary-General of the Allied Property Management Committee. His style is different and he doesn't come to play with me anymore." Kong Lingwei complained in a familiar manner.
“Isn’t this busy?
"Not to mention anything else, I receive endless phone calls all day long. There are calls from Tokyo, Singapore, and everything needs to be dealt with." Hong Zhiyou said.
"Lingwei, we are not strangers. I am short on time. If you have something to say, just say it directly."
He crossed his legs, took out his pocket watch, opened it and took a look.
“As expected of you, Big Brother.
"He only thinks about making money and doesn't even bother to help others with their daily chores." Kong Lingwei curled her lips.
Only in front of a strong man like Hong Zhi would she occasionally and inadvertently reveal a bit of her feminine side.
"I'm afraid your mother will be unhappy if you stay here for too long.
"Last time she pointed at my nose and told me to be careful. We should keep a distance from each other so that you won't be too embarrassed being caught in the middle." Hong Zhiyou said with a smile.
"All right.
"Then let's not chat about family matters and talk about business.
"Brother, can I see Xia Lingkan?"
She asked straight to the point.
"It's not very convenient." Hong Zhiyou was very direct.
What is brother-sister relationship?
My sister is a bit of a jerk, but I can still tolerate it.
Who the hell do you think you are?
It's you who are going to be slaughtered!
"Don't you want money? You have to let me see if the goods are still there?" Kong Lingwei's eyes became sharp and cold.
"If that's the case, then yes."
Hong Zhiyou stood up and picked up the phone: "Anderson, take Miss Kong to interrogation room number two."
Soon Anderson came in and led Kong Lingwei to the interrogation room.
After a while, she returned to the office:
"I have seen him, and thanks to you, he is still alive.
"I can see that you really want him to die."
"certainly!
"I even prepared evidence that he was on a hunger strike out of fear of guilt.
"We have already informed the mainstream media in Tokyo, North America, and Hong Kong. As soon as Young Master Kong gets angry, there will be extensive coverage." Hong Zhiyou raised his hand and said with confidence.
“Brother really does things flawlessly.
"How much do you want?"
Kong Lingwei said.
Hong Zhiyou took out a fine cigar, lit one and handed it to her, and poured her some red wine:
"Try my new and improved Axe brand."
Kong Lingwei is an expert in wine tasting. She shook it slightly, took a look and tasted it: "It tastes good, not worse than those old French brands."
“Even good wine needs a well-kept alley.
“I plan to develop the red wine market in the Bay Island.
“Plus advertising and marketing and so on.
"I need 100 million dollars."
Hong Zhiyou said this during the chat.
"One hundred million?
"Brother, your appetite is too big. Even if you sell the Kong family, you can't raise so much cash flow." Kong Lingwei said.
"Real estate and gold can be appraised and valued," said Hong Zhiyou.
"I can give you a maximum of 30 million," Kong Lingwei said.
"Then you might as well keep it to buy a coffin for Kong Lingkan.
"Lingwei, I am sitting here with you and chatting because of our friendship.
“If it were your mother, I wouldn’t even give her a chance to speak.
“You know.
“I’m not short of money!
"The money I earn is enough to last me ten lifetimes. Tell me, why should I give face to your Kong family?
"Ok?"
Hong Zhiyou held a cigar between his teeth, stared at her coldly with his eyes half-closed, and sneered with a slightly frown on his face.
Kong Lingwei was intimidated by his powerful aura. She licked her lips uncomfortably and said in a humble and low voice: "Brother, why do you insist on my brother's death?"
“Because your eldest brother is so valuable.
“After his death, Jianfeng will dare to move even the Kong family, and his prestige will increase greatly, and all the officials in Wandao will tremble in front of him.
"For me, the death of your brother, the future head of the Kong family, in my hands is undoubtedly a formal announcement to the United States and the Western world that the comprador war has changed its offensive and defensive forms.
“Whatever your Kong family can do, I can also do.
"I am the most powerful comprador of the National Government and even the entire Asia-Pacific region.
“The Kong family is like the afterglow of the British Empire, with only the last rays of light left.
"In terms of politics and business, the value of your brother's death is far from being replaced by a hundred million dollars. Do you understand what I mean?"
Hong Zhiyou let the rich smoke from the cigar linger in his mouth until he was slightly intoxicated, then he pointed at Kong Lingwei and slowly exhaled.
Kong Lingwei was horrified when she heard this:
"Brother, please give me some face, 40 million."
"Lingwei, our friendship ends here. You know my time is more valuable than gold. Please." Hong Zhiyou's face sank. He stood up and returned to his desk, ignoring her.
“Sixty million!
“Brother, this is really my limit.
"I can write you a check right now, and it's a guaranteed check, okay?"
Kong Lingwei once again felt the fear of being dominated in Jinhai.
Her usual cleverness was completely invisible under Hong Zhiyou's sharp and deep eyes.
All that is left is humility and begging.
“I know that you have run several maternity and child hospitals in Hong Kong very successfully.
"besides.
"My father-in-law likes antiques very much, and my wife loves gold."
Hong Zhiyou raised his eyebrows and smiled coldly.
He knew that if the U.S. dollars were kept in the bank, some president might just say something and all of them would be confiscated.
Or a bank catches fire and data is lost.
Wealth dropped to zero overnight.
But gold and antiques are different. They will only become more and more valuable, and their ability to be converted into cash and maintain value will be stronger.
There isn't much Hong Zhi wants to do with the rest of his life.
One of them is to get antiques from all over the world.
"it is good.
“60 million insured check.
"Another 10,000 taels of gold, plus some antiques."
Kong Lingwei gritted her teeth and agreed to his request.
"it is good.
"I'll write you the check first. Can you let me go now?" she asked.
“You have a company in Hong Kong.
"My family will naturally let you go once they receive the antiques and gold before twelve o'clock tonight."
Hong Zhi has the Tao.
“Also, how much money you paid must be kept confidential.
“You must let Jianfeng and MacArthur, or anyone else, know that your brother is so valuable. Your Kong family will have a hard time having peace for the rest of their lives.
“Not only your brother, but even you, your father and mother will be the next check.
“This is free.
"Brotherly love."
Hong Zhiyou reminded.
"clear.
"I will treat this expense as a business transaction.
"The amount of money you need to release the person is 150,000 US dollars."
Kong Lingwei nodded.
"Oh.
“I almost forgot, in addition to the gold and antiques that must arrive tonight, you must also bring me three million US dollars.
"cash!"
Has Hong Zhi forgotten Jianfeng's share?
“Got it, I’ll do it right away.
"Wait for my news tonight."
Kong Lingwei agreed immediately.
