"So Mr. Zhu Liu is from the Hongmen. I'm so sorry, so sorry!" Qin Shi still had to show basic courtesy to the Hongmen who helped China.
"What's the big deal? Team Leader Qin's name is really impressive. Among the Chinese leaders nowadays, if anyone doesn't know your name, Team Leader Qin, then they are not up to par!"
“…” This kind of praise made Qin Shi feel a little embarrassed.
"I heard that you can still rescue people from northern Myanmar?"
"Don't listen to what they say. Saving people in northern Myanmar is very troublesome. The one a few days ago cost a lot of money to do it!"
It’s actually true?
It is unbelievable and unheard of that someone can actually rescue people from northern Myanmar.
"There's a person named Wenhui who just got lost in northern Myanmar. Can you bring her back?"
Since the Hongmen was so powerful, Qin Shi directly mentioned Wen Hui who had escaped in northern Myanmar, wanting to see the attitude of Master Zhu Liu.
"Is this the one Huaxia lost a few days ago? Stop it, they are now protected by local armed forces. Unless they start a war, the Hongmen will not be able to bring them back!"
"You even know about this..." Wanli didn't expect that the woman in front of him knew all these things that had been kept secret.
"Of course, wherever there are Chinese people in the world, there are eyes of our Hongmen. What don't we know?" The woman known as Zhu Liugongzi was also very proud of the power of Hongmen.
"Sixth Master Zhu, you just said that you have opened up a sea route of your own?"
"Yes, the Maritime Silk Road belongs to the Hongmen, connecting China to all parts of the world. Of course, the route is confidential, and without the help of the Hongmen, no one else can take it!"
"I have a batch of goods that I want to bring back without anyone noticing. Does the Hongmen have a solution?"
"Team Leader Qin? Are you looking for help from the Hongmen?"
"Exactly. You can name any fee you want. The only thing we need to do is keep it secret!"
"Team Leader Qin is asking us Hongmen for help. Haha, please wait a moment! Third Uncle, Third Uncle?"
Young Master Zhu Liu ran into the room in his slippers. After a while, an older man came out. His voice was heard before he arrived.
"Team Leader Qin, everyone is here in person. I'm so sorry that Old San Zhu didn't come to welcome you!"
The visitor was polite, and Qin Shi hurriedly stood up to greet him.
"It is truly an honor for Team Leader Qin to come to my humble abode. This little girl, Yanan, is so ignorant. Has she ever neglected Team Leader Qin?"
"No, no!"
"Oh, so your name is Zhu Yanan, haha, and you're also the Sixth Young Master Zhu!"
Zhu Yanan stood behind his third uncle, his face red. Seeing Wanli's mocking look, he glared at him.
"Who is this?"
"My name is Wanli, and I'm just my boss's follower?"
"Wanli? Oh, you're the one who's been with Team Leader Qin in the investigation team. You're from the Wan family in Kyoto, right? I've heard a lot about you!"
“You’re welcome!”
Qin Shi didn't expect that Zhu Laosan was so well-informed that he even knew Wanli. Wanli didn't expect that he had become so famous and was a little complacent.
"You two, hurry up and get inside. We don't do this in the yard when guests are here!"
Qin Shi and the other two were led into the living room again. After being served good tea, Zhu Laosan asked politely.
"I heard from Yanan that Team Leader Qin has something to arrange. I wonder what it is?"
"Um... I have a batch of goods that I want to ship to China. I happened to hear from the Sixth Young Master that the Hongmen has a maritime transport route called the Silk Road?"
"Hey, what Silk Road? This girl is just being mysterious. But the Hongmen does have a dedicated shipping route. The countries and powers along the route are all on good terms with the Hongmen. Although it's a bit far, it also connects most parts of the world!"
"Indeed, I happen to have a batch of goods that I want to transport back, and I can't let outsiders know. I wonder if Mr. Zhu has any solution. Of course, just tell me the cost!"
"Oh? Team Leader Qin still needs us to transport goods? I wonder what they are transporting?"
"This? Honestly, it's better if you don't know. The biggest risk in this matter is keeping it secret!"
"Hmm..." Zhu Laosan frowned, looking unhappy.
"Team Leader Qin, I know your name. Logically, we shouldn't refuse you. Besides, we in the Hongmen do have some borderline businesses, and Huaxia has been nice to us, but we won't do anything that's overly illegal!"
"Hey, sir, you are wrong. What's wrong with you smuggling things yourself and then helping the country transport some things? If you are short of money, just tell me directly!" Seeing the other party making excuses, Wanli was still dissatisfied even though he had just praised himself.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Smuggling? I'm just helping my neighbors bring in some local specialties from other countries. What's it to you?"
"Do you have an invoice? Do you have customs declaration records? Do you have proof of tax payment?"
"you..."
Before Zhu Laosan and Qin Shi could say anything, Wanli and Zhu Yanan had already started arguing.
"Yanan, don't be rude!"
"Wanli, stop talking nonsense!"
"Team Leader Qin, to be honest, although we do have some borderline dealings, we don't get involved in things like drugs, arms, and people."
"Mr. Zhu, what I have here is definitely not illegal!" Qin Shi quickly explained.
"Team Leader Qin, I know, but a few years ago, someone asked us to move some goods. We accepted the job without even asking what it was, but it ended up causing us trouble, so..."
"I'm sorry, I don't know about this matter. What is it that has caused trouble for China? And it's a commission from Congress, so it won't be disadvantageous to you, right? Can you tell me what it is?"
"Someone found the lost heads of the twelve zodiac animals from the Old Summer Palace overseas, and then shipped them back to China through us and donated them to the nation. Of course, we were willing to help. But when China announced its return, overseas people said these items were lost by the museum..."
"What can we do? It's our country's stuff. You want us to return it? Impossible!" Wanli was the first to express his opinion.
"Nonsense, no one said they would send it back, but Huaxia didn't say anything, and we couldn't betray our employer. In the end, everyone said that it was the Hongmen who stole things from the museum, which made us Hongmen very embarrassed for a while!" Zhu Yanan replied while staring at Wanli.
"Isn't it okay if you just don't admit it?"
"Nonsense, if we don't take the blame, should we let our employer take it? Or should we let China take it? Or should we let you take it!" Zhu Yanan's words shut Wan Li's mouth.
"So, the Hongmen later received an order that even if they wanted to help China, they had to know the specific content of the things, otherwise they would definitely not accept it..." Zhu Laosan told the truth and expressed his helplessness.
"I understand. I'll think about it again. It's not that I don't trust you Hongmen, but if this matter is leaked, it will be extremely disadvantageous to China, so I'll think about it again!"
"Team Leader Qin, I'm really sorry. You said I didn't get the job done the first time you asked..."
Zhu Laosan's face was full of shame.
