Chapter 571 I'm Really Unwilling...
Chapter 571 I'm Really Unwilling...
Yuan Wenhui lowered his head and murmured, "So, at the beginning, no matter if I provoked you or not, you would attack me, because you already knew that I was colluding with Yoshimura Yuta to sell opium?"
Lin Ze looked at him with a bit of pity.
Stupid child!
"This... Yuan Wenhui, the truth may be a little cruel. If you hadn't taken the initiative to provoke me, I probably wouldn't have studied your industry. If I hadn't studied your industry, I wouldn't have been able to connect the dots between the batch of opium that was supposedly burned and the many opium dens under your control."
Yuan Wenhui stared in dismay, and after a while, he managed to utter, "Pan Yugui, I xxxxx!"
Then, he looked up at Lin Ze, "Master Lin! I surrender. I only have one request."
Lin Ze spit out an eye circle and nodded, "I am the best person to talk, so go ahead."
"Don't let Pan Yugui go. Make sure he dies a more miserable death than me!"
Lin Ze almost choked on the smoke.
How much sorrow and resentment this must be!
But if you think about it, it is understandable. If it weren’t for Pan Yuguai, Yuan Wenhui might not have ended up like this.
Is Pan Yuguai a fool?
Obviously not.
Looking back on his actions, whether it was the consideration of sitting on the fence at the beginning, or the choice to introduce a difficult third party, Yuan Wenhui, after facing Lin Ze's provocation.
Or maybe after suffering a setback, he decisively chose to join Osako Michimasa and even prepared a letter of surrender.
This series of operations can show Pan Yuguai's gaming level.
If he was really stupid, he wouldn't have come to this point.
After all, it was their misfortune to meet Master Lin.
It’s not that they are too stupid, it’s just that Master Lin is too great.
Or maybe, everything is destined, and the fate of Pan Yuguai and Yuan Wenhui was determined from the day they surrendered to the Japanese?
"Besides that, Master Lin, I hope you can give me a quick death. You can use the wealth I have saved as you like. But the women and children in the family have nothing to do with my affairs..."
Lin Ze waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about this. You are a big gangster. When the time comes, I will chop off your head publicly. Before I do that, I will let you shout twice, saying that you will be a hero again in twenty years. You can shout whatever you want."
Mr. Lin was too generous and almost made Yuan Wenhui unable to handle it.
He hung his head and told everything.
Niu San, who had been busy all night, was not in the office, so Uncle Lin took the initiative and pressed the recording button.
"In fact, it was Yoshimura who contacted me. He controlled the North China Transportation Company and was responsible for the distribution of opium brought in by the Liaison Department. It would be very easy for him to intercept some of it or make some false accounts.
But the intercepted opium had to be exchanged for money, and I had dozens of opium dens under my control, so he found me. "
"Specifically, it is recorded in an account book. My opium shop originally buys opium paste from Yoshimura Yuta. For example, I bought ten taels this time, but actually twelve taels were delivered. These two taels were not recorded in the public account of the opium shop, but were recorded in a separate account book by the accountant.
Yoshimura Yuta's delivery amount is not fake, twelve taels are twelve taels, but in their account, ten taels were bought by me, and the other two taels are kept in the warehouse of Zhongyuan Company as mobile inventory."
It seems that Lin Ze’s guess was completely correct. This so-called mobile inventory was the part that was “burned” by the fire.
Two hundred thousand yen was burned in a fire. This money was the part that this group of people embezzled after doing the accounting together.
"How do you split the money, and who's involved?"
Yuan Wenhui asked for another cigarette and smoked it fiercely.
"Yoshimura Yuta and several senior executives of the North China Transportation Corporation originally planned to drag the financial manager of the Liaison Department who was stationed at the Central Plains Company into the water, but who knew that guy would not listen to them."
"Chen Mingyuan was sent by the Liaison Department? Isn't he Chinese?"
This news really surprised Lin Ze. He originally thought that this person was killed because he discovered some secret, but he didn't expect that he was actually Tiandao's man.
Yuan Wenhui nodded, "You really know that he is Chinese, but he went to Japan more than ten years ago, and then came to Tianjin with Tiandao. The Liaison Department wants to do business with the North China Transportation Corporation, so they must place someone they trust as a guarantee. Chen Mingyuan is the person sent by Tiandao."
Lin Ze understood. "So this Chen Mingyuan is loyal to Tian Dao. You have been trying to bribe him but have never succeeded. This has become the biggest hidden danger to your business. You originally wanted to take it slow, but unexpectedly Tian Dao returned to China. As his agent, Chen Mingyuan must settle the accounts before the next resident minister arrives. So you might as well go all out and kill him to silence him and burn down the building."
Unexpectedly, Yuan Wenhui shook his head and said, "We didn't burn down the building. To be more precise, we didn't burn down the building first."
Lin Ze frowned, "Did someone really set the fire?"
Yuan Wenhui laughed bitterly, "If no one set the fire, Yoshimura Yuta still wouldn't make up his mind."
"So someone did set the fire, or as Yoshimura Yuta said, someone used explosives, but it didn't cause such great damage. However, the arson gave Yoshimura Yuta an opportunity, and he simply added fuel to the fire.
Yuan Wenhui nodded, "It's almost the same as you said."
.............
North China Transportation Co., Ltd.
In the office, Yoshimura Yuta sat alone.
He had already received the news that Yuan Wenhui had been taken to the office.
They went there openly and without hiding anything from anyone. Lin Ze even only sent two people to "pick up" Yuan Wenhui.
The moment he received the news, Yoshimura even considered sending someone to assassinate Yuan Wenhui.
But then he gave up the idea.
Even if Yuan Wenhui was killed, what would happen?
He was like a fish out of water, placed on Lin Ze's chopping board, unable to even jump twice. It was just a matter of Lin Ze's thought when to cut him.
Yoshimura Yuta suddenly realized that Lin Ze had not seen him since the welcoming banquet that day!
I neither took the initiative to ask for a meeting nor did I hint to meet him through others.
What is this......
Is crushing me to death like crushing a tiny bug?
After all, when he wanted to take action against Pan Yuguai, he even issued a high-profile announcement to collect clues!
There was a short knife on the low table next to it.
Yoshimura Yuta turned his head and looked, his eyes flickering.
It’s not easy to get to where I am today…
Managing such a large enterprise and working diligently to make money for the empire, how could he end up like this just by tampering with the opium business?
I really can't accept this......
