Chapter 59 Chapter 59 Jinjiang Solo
Because this incident caused his cousin to miss the feast, Zhang Mengzhi asked the waiter at Taibai Tower to send some dishes to the Criminal Police Brigade where his cousin was.
"Boss Zhang, congratulations on moving into your new home! We've all seen it, the courtyard house is really nice, not only grand but also beautiful."
People who are familiar with each other come over to toast.
"Thank you, everyone. I'm glad you came to my housewarming party. To thank you for coming, I'd like to offer you a toast. But I don't drink, so I can only express my gratitude with tea."
Zhang Mengzhi picked up the teacup on the table and drank it all in one gulp.
Everyone in Guocheng knew that Zhang's boss never drank at banquets, so no one would be so tactless as to stand up and criticize him at this time.
Since Zhang Mengzhi had stated from the beginning that he did not drink, everyone who had dealt with him knew about it. If someone jumped out to accuse Zhang Gouzhi at this time, it would only annoy people. It would also leave a bad impression on everyone that he did not know the seriousness of the matter and did not know the occasion.
After the banquet, Zhang Mengzhi dealt with the drunk guests and asked someone to send them back home. Then he slowly went to the city's Criminal Police Brigade to take a statement.
Zhang Shixue was transferred to the Criminal Police Brigade only last month, but within less than a month, someone praised him for his achievements, which made Zhang Shixue almost dance for joy.
"Mengzhi is here, sit down. Wait for me for a while, I'm starving now."
Cousin Zhang was sitting and having lunch with several colleagues. The food was delivered to him by my cousin!
After he brought the man back, he was in a hurry to interrogate him and only had time to eat now.
"No hurry, I'm not busy, you guys eat first!"
Zhang Mengzhi waved his hand, found a seat to sit down, did not rummage around, and placed his hands neatly on his knees, using his actions to prove to the police that he was behaving himself.
Not to mention how well behaved he was, several of Cousin Zhang's colleagues couldn't help but laugh.
"Captain, your cousin is such a good boy!"
Why am I feeling a little envious?
"Just keep it to yourself, but don't tell anyone!"
Cousin Zhang said with a proud look on his face.
"Bah, just show off!"
His colleagues despised him.
"Hahaha."
Cousin Zhang was very happy, he was eating a bowl of rice. While these people were talking, he had to speed up, otherwise they would grab all the rice.
About twenty minutes later, Zhang Shixue finished his meal.
"Mengzhi, today's matter is not simple, you have to be mentally prepared."
Sitting opposite Zhang Mengzhi, the smile on Zhang Shixue's face gradually disappeared.
"Could it be some foreign power? Are they targeting me?"
Zhang Mengzhi raised his eyebrows, hitting the nail on the head.
"Well, it is indeed related to foreign countries, but their original target was not you. You are just a stepping stone."
Zhang Shixue was troubled because sometimes the credit that came to his door was not tasty enough.
"Hmm? Could it be that they are our Zhang family, or the entire Guocheng?"
Zhang Mengzhi thought about it and thought, it seems that their Guocheng doesn’t have any important technology?
"Do you know how popular our Guocheng silk is abroad?"
Zhang Shixue said angrily that he didn't expect that the most important industry in their Guocheng would be targeted by someone.
"What does this have to do with them coming to me? I don't know how to weave."
Zhang Mengzhi was puzzled. Even if he wanted to find someone, he should look for the skilled workers in the silk factory. Aren’t they easier to approach?
"You underestimate your current position in Guocheng. If I get close to you, I will be close to most of the forces in Guocheng."
Zhang Shixue explained to his cousin that Zhang Mengzhi was highly valued by the Zhang family. The top leaders of Guocheng were also optimistic about him and would occasionally invite Zhang Mengzhi to their offices to listen to his views on some of Guocheng's policies.
The key is that many of Zhang Mengzhi’s opinions were adopted, which made the development of Guocheng take fewer detours than before.
It can be said that as long as Zhang Mengzhi opens his mouth, he can go anywhere in Guocheng, including visiting the production workshop of the silk factory.
"...I just can't understand. Before approaching me, didn't they ask about the appearance, hobbies and height of my classmates?"
This fake Li Yong is too outrageous. In the past ten years, he has not grown at all, and he has shrunk. It's really outrageous. It's outrageous to the extreme.
"It's a coincidence that they chose this identity because the real Li Yong died ten years ago. He died in an accident not long after taking the college entrance examination, so his identity can be appropriated without having to deal with the original owner."
In order to avoid being caught by the real owner, they found a dead person. However, few people could afford to take photos in that era. Li Yong's family was not rich, so naturally he would not take photos.
The other party doesn't know what Li Yong really looks like. Unless someone has seen him, no one knows what he looks like.
The reason they approached Zhang Mengzhi in this way was that these people thought that ten years had passed and Zhang Mengzhi could not remember what Li Yong looked like, so they came up with the idea of impersonating him.
It’s just that these people had good ideas. Zhang Mengzhi really couldn’t remember what Li Yong looked like, but they didn’t find out exactly how tall Li Yong was.
They didn't notice such an obvious flaw, no wonder Zhang Mengzhi recognized he was fake at first sight.
"They even bribed some people to resurrect the dead."
Zhang Shixue's words were a bit vague, but Zhang Mengzhi understood what he meant.
"It's so funny, they really dare to do it!"
Zhang Mengzhi rolled his eyes. They really thought highly of him and even forged their identities to get close to him.
"Don't be funny, the higher-ups are furious and very angry."
Zhang Shixue rolled his eyes. Of course, such a big thing had to be reported to the higher-ups. Knowing that their most important industry in Guocheng was being targeted, the entire Guocheng upper echelons were alarmed.
"Catch them. We must catch all these people. They are too rampant."
He said, slapping his hand on the table.
"yes."
The director of the Public Security Bureau received the instructions and immediately went back to arrange personnel to start arresting people.
For a while, Guocheng was in chaos, but it only lasted for three days before returning to normal.
All those involved were arrested, including several people with the surname Zhang.
"What do you want?"
Zhang Shixue looked at those Zhang clansmen. What on earth were they after? They used outsiders to deal with their own people and almost put Guocheng in an unjust situation.
"For money! We want to go abroad, to a place full of gold and live a life of luxury, but you can't give us that."
Those members of the Zhang clan might have given up on themselves, and they just answered whatever Zhang Shixue asked them.
"We don't have any offspring anyway, so we're not worried about them getting dragged down by us."
If one person is well fed, the whole family will not be hungry. There is a reason why they were chosen.
"Okay, okay, since you all said so, then I have nothing to say. But you have brought shame to the Zhang family. After a meeting and discussion, the clan decided that from now on you will have no relationship with our Zhang family, and you will not be buried in our Zhang family cemetery after death." Zhang Shixue was not the police officer presiding over their trial, so he turned around and left after he said this.
"Zhang Shixue, don't leave. Come back and explain clearly. You lied to us, didn't you?"
They never thought that they would be expelled from the tribe, and they were all anxious.
I thought I was just using money to help the other party do something, but I didn't expect that it involved foreign countries, and the nature of the matter suddenly became different.
Now, they have lost everything. Not only did they not get the money, but they were also expelled from the tribe. The few people who gave up on themselves started to get angry.
"Mengzhi, after this incident, do you feel that you were wronged?"
Zhang Deming called his nephew to have a talk and exchange feelings. Even General Zhang in the capital knew about it and called him to ask him to have a good talk with Meng Zhi and not let the child be stimulated and go astray.
"It's unfair! But if you think about it carefully, it's not unfair at all."
Zhang Mengzhi stood in front of Zhang Deming with his hands behind his back and said helplessly.
"What's unfair? What's not unfair?"
Zhang Deming sat opposite him, looking up at the pride of the Zhang family. Once upon a time, this child had become so important that even General Zhang personally asked about him, and even some of the family members who were serving in other places called back to ask about him.
"It's unfair that I have nothing to do with silk, they just found the wrong person. It's not unfair, it's true, our Zhang family has so many members! We have family members everywhere, using me is indeed the easiest shortcut. If something happens to me, I can still successfully pull you down with me, there is no better candidate than me."
Zhang Mengzhi spread his hands. He never expected that he would become the target of foreign forces.
There is no way, who makes him useful! No matter where he goes, he is popular and everyone is willing to give him face.
It is hard for people who are too outstanding not to attract attention.
"I'm glad you can understand. The elders should be relieved now."
Seeing that he was not discouraged by this incident, Zhang Deming put his worries aside.
"Thank you for your concern, uncle, and thank you for the concern of the elders. I will be more careful in my words and actions in the future and will not cause trouble to the clan and everyone else."
Zhang Mengzhi bowed to him solemnly and promised.
"I believe this. You have always been very cautious in doing things. You can handle any problem yourself."
"Yes." Zhang Mengzhi was very happy about the trust of the elders, which showed that everyone believed in his ability. "By the way, remember to call General Zhang later."
Zhang Deming gave his final reminder before his nephew left.
"Yes, sir."
When Zhang Mengzhi got home, he called the capital.
"Grandpa, it's my dream."
No one knows what the grandfather and grandson talked about on the phone, but they know that the country has started arresting people in many places again, especially in those important cities, where a huge number of spies have been arrested.
“The country’s actions are huge!”
Zhang Mengzhi read the news. Although it only reported a small amount of insignificant news, he was able to analyze a lot of things from it.
The West has always wanted to suppress China, and while they are living a small life across from China, they have never stopped thinking about destroying and occupying China.
Thinking of those toxic textbooks in later generations, Zhang Mengzhi felt that he should do something to fight back against their kindness.
They want China's technology, then let's do the other way around!
The West is a typical selfish society, and as long as you have enough money, you can buy anything.
He thought that in a few years, the Russian bear would disintegrate, which would be a good opportunity for China.
So he made some arrangements for his property and family, and quietly left Guocheng.
Kill him while he's sick. Anyway, those weapons and technology can't be eaten, so he sent food and daily necessities, and I believe there are many people willing to exchange them.
Moreover, the disintegration of the Russian bear can also be hinted to the higher-ups, so that they can reap more benefits by making preparations in advance.
As a result, the Russian bear is even more miserable than in history. China, which was prepared, has obtained more and better technology and weapons, and those people are grateful to China.
As for the disintegration of the Russian bear market, the Western forces, which should have gained more benefits, are staring in a daze as they see their benefits shrinking.
Something seems wrong. Shouldn't the benefits be greater?
In order to fight back, Zhang Mengzhi concealed his identity and personally visited the Russian Bear several times, bringing back a lot of benefits for the country.
As a boy, even if he usually deals with food, he is also very concerned about military matters! He knows what kind of things are worth exchanging with the Russians, so he focuses on the exchange of industries, weapons and technology.
Under the lure of gold and food, too many people chose to trade with him. Even though it has not yet disintegrated, chaos has already occurred in the country!
So he easily got what he wanted. Although it was not the most chaotic time yet, as long as the gold and food were in place, someone would naturally send him what he wanted.
The most important thing is that he took away the most valuable things before the Western forces could react.
As for those things that were not worth trading, Zhang Mengzhi simply skipped them. This made the accompanying personnel very curious, because some things seemed very valuable to people at that time, but Zhang Mengzhi didn't fancy any of them.
But these are not the most important things. Zhang Mengzhi got a set of drawings. Although it is not very comprehensive, the information on it is of great use to China.
As long as they make good use of it, their country will usher in the aircraft carrier era ahead of schedule.
"How do you know they have this thing?"
The accompanying state workers held the boxes tightly in their arms.
"As long as there is enough gold and food, there is no news that cannot be obtained."
Zhang Mengzhi stood on this cold land, and he was also surprised that he could get this thing. After all, this thing is confidential in both the Russian Bear and the United States, and ordinary people can't touch it at all.
However, it just so happened that one of the people who came to him to exchange food was an engineer who participated in the construction. If he didn't exchange food, his wife and daughter would starve to death.
Therefore, even if the exchanged drawings are not complete, they are sufficient for China at present.
"Let's go back quickly!"
The staff pulled Zhang Mengzhi and immediately wanted to evacuate from the Bear Country. They had been active here for several years, and now the Bear Country had disintegrated and everything was in chaos. With such an important thing in hand, if they didn't leave now, they might not be able to go back.
"Okay, let's go! My goal is almost accomplished, so I won't play with them anymore."
Zhang Mengzhi pushed his decorative sunglasses, as he could easily get snow blindness if he didn't wear them in the snow.
It is precisely because the Russian bear is now in the coldest winter of the year that he can rely on food and some gold to exchange for such important information.
"Let's go!"
The group left quickly, and a few days later they returned safely to China after a struggle.
Zhang Mengzhi, who had not been home for several years, took off her wig as soon as she entered the country, revealing her black hair.
"Welcome back, our hero."
The people who came to pick them up hugged Zhang Mengzhi and his group.
"Hey, I'm so hungry, is there anything to eat?"
A group of people began to complain of hunger. In order to hurry on their way, they had only eaten a small amount of military rations in the past few days, and when they were thirsty, they simply grabbed a handful of snow and fed it to their mouths.
"Yes, yes, yes. Not only is there steaming hot food, but there's also a hot bath!"
The receiving staff took the group to the cafeteria for lunch first, and then went to the bathhouse to take a comfortable hot bath.
While the others went to eat and take a shower, Zhang Mengzhi and another staff member were taken to a secret room where someone who had been waiting for a long time was already there to meet them.
"The things are here. You must hand them over as soon as possible."
Zhang Mengzhi and the staff member who held the suitcase tightly handed the suitcase over to the special envoy.
"Don't worry, as long as the person is in the box, the box will be there. Even if the person dies, the box will not be lost."
The handover personnel handcuffed the box to themselves and their colleagues, and they will personally deliver the items to the person who should receive them.
"Don't say anything unlucky. This trip will be smooth. As for me, I will lose my memory once I leave this door. I won't know anything."
Zhang Mengzhi simply pretended that he had never seen this thing and would not ask about it in the future.
“What smart people do.”
The contact praised him. He originally wanted to give him some more advice, but now there was no need.
"I'm hungry, how about you?"
Ask the staff you have worked with for several years.
"I'm hungry too, and my brain isn't working well."
The staff member said while touching his belly.
"So what are we waiting for? Let's go eat! And take a hot bath. I'll have to soak for half an hour. I feel the cold in my bones."
Zhang Mengzhi took him and walked out.
"Wait for me, I want to go too."
The two of them just left the room, leaving behind several people who were at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Forget it, they are all smart people, so they don’t need to say any more.
When Zhang Mengzhi stepped on the land of Guocheng, he felt like he was dreaming.
"Now that you're back, I can retire now."
The person pretending to be Zhang Mengzhi handed over his identity to Zhang Mengzhi at the airport and told him everything that had happened in the past few years.
"Now there are Taibailou and fast food restaurants in all cities in Shu Province. There are also some in neighboring provinces, but there are only about twenty of them. You have to do the rest by yourself. Here is the account book."
The thick account book weighs several kilograms, and this is the general ledger. If you bring all the account books, you will need a car to haul them.
"Thank you for your trouble these years."
After the incident with the fake Li Yong, Zhang Mengzhi quietly left Guocheng and went to the north, where he began to contact the Russian bears in the north.
In order to make it easier for him, their superiors arranged for someone who looked similar to him to be disguised so that people who were not familiar with him could not recognize him.
Of course, the family couldn't hide it, but Zhang Mengzhi told them in advance. Knowing that he was going to do something important to help the country, the Zhang family worked together to cover for him, so no one exposed his identity in the past few years.
Even those who deliberately picked trouble with Taibai Building and fast food restaurants were dealt with by the state.
"No trouble, except that there are more things to do, and personal safety is guaranteed. Comrade Zhang, you are different. You risk your life to help the country. In comparison, what I do is nothing."
The person pretending to be Zhang Mengzhi did not tell him his real identity, and even the name he used was fake. His identity was special, and he never used his real identity to the outside world.
"Anyway, thank you for taking care of my family over the years. And you also helped me expand Taibai Building and fast food restaurants to neighboring provinces. You are really amazing."
Zhang Mengzhi really admired this special person in front of him. Not only could he impersonate himself, but he was also good at business.
It would be a pity if he didn't go into business! However, the other party had a special identity, and business was only one of his skills, and it was not the most important skill.
Zhang Mengzhi thought he was already talented enough, but reality told him that there were many people who were more talented than him, and his ability was nothing.
Zhang Mengzhi, who was originally very proud of what he had done for the country, suddenly fell from heaven to earth.
What are you so proud of? Are you so proud of this little achievement? It's nothing in front of these people.
After parting with that special person, Zhang Mengzhi took the account book home.
He opened the gate and returned to the courtyard. Because the people who replaced him did not know what style the manor should be built in, they had not started construction. They only built the orchard, garden and fields, and the main part would be built after he returned.
He didn't put the money he earned in the bank to earn interest, but opened one fast food restaurant after another and a high-end restaurant. Because he was away, the boss personally sent a Sichuan cuisine master to teach his apprentices.
People who knew Zhang Mengzhi thought that the substitute was not right, but even with the testimony of Zhang's family, they could not prove that the other person was not Zhang Mengzhi. In order to conceal his identity, the person pretending to be him also cleverly fell ill. After he recovered from the illness, he was too thin, so everyone thought that he had not recovered, and ignored the slight differences in his appearance.
Because of his illness, he rarely came into contact with people outside, which made it even more difficult for people to doubt the identity of the substitute.
It was a coincidence that he pretended to be sick in order to hide the fact that he was not Zhang Mengzhi, and to make himself look like he had recovered from a serious illness. As a result, it just matched Zhang Mengzhi's current appearance. He had poor food and accommodation during those years abroad, so he looked much thinner than a few years ago.
Therefore, the two of them successfully changed back to their respective identities without causing any suspicion from others. When Zhang Mengzhi recovered, everyone would just think that his illness was cured.
So as an excellent special personnel, perhaps he had already expected that Zhang Mengzhi would become very thin after returning, so he pretended to be sick to lose weight.
Apart from a few people, only the Zhang family knew that the two had been exchanged. Even Zhang Deming was not aware of it, because he and Zhang Mengzhi had spent too little time together in the past few years, and the other party was very good at disguising himself. He also knew Zhang Mengzhi's entire life, so it was not difficult for him to pretend to be the person involved.
"Ah, my brother is back."
Zhang Mengyu came back from school to visit her mother. She stayed at her alma mater and worked as a teacher while studying for a doctorate. Today, she came back to visit her family on a rare day without classes, and was stunned by the man standing in front of the door.
"Mom, Dad, cousin, please come out quickly, my brother is back."
Zhang Mengyu shouted loudly towards the yard, then she ran towards Zhang Mengzhi and hugged him.
"Brother, I missed you so much!"
Zhang Mengyu hasn't seen her brother for several years, and sometimes she dreams about him. Even though she knows Zhang Mengzhi is fine, she hasn't seen him in person, so who wouldn't be worried as his family member?
"Dream knowledge."
"Son."
"Cousin."
Everyone at home ran out. Mr. Zhang, who had already retired, supported his wife and ran over unsteadily, pulling his daughter away and hugging his son.
"Ouch."
Zhang Mengyu bumped into her cousin.
"Cousin, are you okay?"
Wang Changjiang supported the man.
"No, my parents just left me aside like this?"
Zhang Mengyu looked at his parents and brother huddled together in disbelief, and pointed at them and asked.
