Spy Wars: I can get rewards by being a bully!

Chapter 959 How can I treat the Duan family as any other family?

Lin House.

The Duan family's housekeeper was secretly sent into the mansion.

As soon as he saw Lin Ze, the old butler knelt down and kowtowed.

Lin Ze raised his hand and Niu Saner helped him up.

"What does Shopkeeper Duan want you to come to me for?"

The old housekeeper burst into tears. "In reply to Master Lin, my master has been in poor health for half a year. He went to see a foreign doctor, who said he had a terminal illness. Now he has encountered the matter of the young master. The master said he dare not hide anything from you. The place where the young master often goes is Tianhuizhai. The master has already gone there. The family also secretly got a radio from the concession a long time ago and forged many letters. The master said..."

When the housekeeper said this, he wanted to ask Lin Ze for help.

But then she remembered what Shopkeeper Duan had said, and could only sob, "Master said that if Master Lin could lend a hand, the Duan family would be immensely grateful. If that's not possible, we'll just collect the bodies of him and his son. Our family in Tianjin has already been entrusted to Master Lin, and now there's no one to look after our vast estate in Peking. Please accept all the shops, cloth, and property, Master Lin, as a way of repaying Master Lin's kindness over the years!"

When these words were spoken, Lin Ze was also moved.

Different people have different perceptions when doing things.

Even at the end, Old Duan did not "kidnap" Lin Ze by relying on their previous friendship. Instead, he made it clear that if he could help, he would help, and if he couldn't, he would collect their bodies. In any case, he would hand over his huge fortune.

Lao Duan is a successful businessman and an even more successful father.

"Old family, I have already made a suggestion on this matter. Manager Duan doesn't need to do this..."

"I have tried to persuade the master, but he knows his life is coming to an end, so he has to do something no matter what."

Alas, how pitiful are the loving hearts of parents in the world!

Old Duan risked his life, knowing full well that doing so might not necessarily release Little Duan.

But he had to try.

Maybe dying is just an excuse. Even if he is fine, how do we know he won't do this?

The old housekeeper bid farewell to Lin Ze and returned to Duan's house. He looked at the courtyard reluctantly for a few times, then went to the small courtyard where he lived next door and swallowed opium paste with two glasses of wine.

Before dying, the housekeeper smiled and muttered to himself, "Master, when you said the words 'loyal to the end', are you worried that I'm afraid of death, or that I'll be captured by the devils and can't withstand the torture? I'm a family child, and I've served your family for generations. Your family treats me the same as any other family, so why would I treat the Duan family as any other family? I, your old servant, will go first. Let's meet on the Naihe Bridge!"

.............

Tianhuizhai.

The sky is gloomy today. I don’t know whether it will snow or rain, so business is very slow.

There were always people hanging around the shop. Shopkeeper Chen drank his tea leisurely, but he already had a plan in mind.

There is a clerk in the shop who hasn't come back yet.

Thinking of this, he sighed, there are not enough people!

Originally, these farmers were recruited to do guarding and transportation work, and they were given a lot of instruction on a daily basis, but the thing they had always worried about still happened.

What a pity for Wenxuan......

Just as I was thinking about my worries, the rickshaw carrying the old shopkeeper Duan arrived.

Strangely enough, the old shopkeeper Duan was still sick at home and kept coughing in the car. The driver was worried that the old man would die in the car.

But from the moment he got off the car, his forehead became bright and his face became rosy. It seemed that the shopkeeper Duan who used to dress decently, wear a pocket watch, roll up his sleeves and calmly and elegantly attract customers in the silk shop had returned.

He was full of confidence and pride at this moment.

Oh, even if I can't control the affairs of this world, I can still help my son!

I heard that these people have to work very hard, which requires them to be bold and careful. As businessmen, don't we also have to keep our eyes and ears open?

After years of observing customers, Old Duan has developed a pair of sharp eyes. He can tell what those people hanging around the shop do with just a glance.

He walked into the shop calmly and greeted calmly, "Are there not many people here today?"

Chen, the shopkeeper of Tianhuizhai, saw this man and thought he looked familiar. Old Duan lifted his robe and sat down on a chair. "Usually, my son comes to get the medicine for me. Today, I'm free, so I came here in person. Shopkeeper Chen, aren't there many people here today?"

Shopkeeper Chen hurriedly served him tea. His movements were not at all chaotic, but his voice was trembling.

"There aren't many people here today. They're all waiting for our regular customers. Old shopkeeper, why are you..."

Shopkeeper Duan took the tea bowl and interrupted him, "Hey! When it comes to smelling medicine, sometimes you have to try it yourself. Even if you explain everything, it's easy for my son to buy it and it won't be right."

After saying this, Shopkeeper Duan's eyes sparkled, "Shopkeeper Chen, I heard that your smelling medicine is transported all the way from north to south, and the road is very difficult to travel. Shopkeeper Chen is able to do this kind of business, so I'm afraid he is not an ordinary person."

Shopkeeper Chen smiled calmly, "You are too kind, but since I started this business, I have understood the difficulties and dangers involved, and I have long since disregarded life and death."

The two looked at each other for a while, and there seemed to be a sense of mutual sympathy between them.

Manager Duan was completely relieved at this time. He was originally afraid that Manager Chen was afraid of death. If he was arrested and kept pestering Duan Wenxuan, Manager Duan would not be able to save his son even if he died a hundred times today.

Since Manager Chen has no intention of living, there is a way out for this matter.

The two of them chatted while drinking tea, and the people who were following them outside were dumbfounded.

What kind of number is this?

The officer in charge could not make up his mind and could only rush back to report.

Hua Guzheng had been paying attention to this matter, and was also confused when he heard that Duan Wenxuan's father went to Tianhuizhai.

Then he said flatly, "Capturing people! This is their trick. What? Beating up the younger ones and getting the older ones out, like a life for a life?"

.................

Front Command.

Okamura Office.

After listening to Kitahara Ransuke's report, Okamura was first happy and then worried.

The good news is that Beiyuan can actually report Lin Ze, which is great!

He admired Lin Ze very much, but admiration was admiration. If Lin Ze could thrive in the spy system and his influence extended from Peking to the local areas, from the gendarmerie headquarters to the spy department, he would have trouble sleeping.

Subordinates who fight with each other are good subordinates. Now it seems that Beiyuan and Lin Ze will soon fight.

What’s worrying is that the people around Lin Ze might actually be spies from the Red Zone!

This is very troublesome. He wants to make great use of Lin Ze, or to put it more bluntly, he cannot do without Lin Ze in many things.

What if Lin Ze really has a problem?

After thinking for a while, Okamura said to his adjutant in a deep voice, "Send Lin-san over!"

Summoned by the general, Lin Ze rushed to the front headquarters.

As soon as he entered the headquarters, Okamura barked at him, "Lin-san! I've always praised you highly. Could it be that you've become complacent, or even harbored disloyalty?!"

The old devil deliberately didn't let Beiyuan go out, just to let Lin Ze know that it was Beiyuan who filed the lawsuit.

Sure enough, Lin Ze glanced at Bei Yuan with dissatisfaction before explaining, "Your Excellency, I just heard about this matter. I'm afraid the situation is quite complicated. Although I haven't formally investigated Duan Wenxuan, I've had the people from the Assistance Bureau investigate him during multiple internal audits. He doesn't look like a spy at all!"

This statement leaves a lot of room for interpretation, "no formal investigation has been conducted", "the coordination bureau has been asked to investigate", "it really doesn't look like it".

When Okamura heard this, he knew that Lin Ze was also unsure, and snorted coldly, "Call Hua Gu Zheng immediately, I want to see what's going on today!"
