Chapter 365 Naughty Child 24
Lin Xia returned home after wandering outside, and met Hui Jianshan waiting for her at her house.
"Lin Yun, it's so dangerous today, don't tell me you ran to the factory?"
Lin Xia nodded along with his words, "After all, I worked hard to establish this company, and I still have some important work to do, so I'll just go take a look and come back."
"You really value money more than your life! There's gunfire going on outside, aren't you afraid of death?" Hui Jianshan's critical tone revealed concern.
"It has been handled. Thank you, Brother Hui, for your concern."
Lin Xia is not a person who does not appreciate kindness. Although she feels that Hui Jianshan's behavior is a bit over the line, she also accepts the criticism.
"Brother Hui, is there anything else you want to do?"
"Do you know the new mayor, Gao Yan?"
"Well, what's wrong?"
"Given the current situation, Mayor Gao is preparing a symposium in the French Concession and invites us businessmen who are staying in Haicheng to come tonight. You should also be invited. Didn't you receive the invitation letter?"
Lin Xia frowned, "Let me ask, Aunt Zhang."
"Hey, miss, what's up?"
"Did you receive an invitation?"
"Yes, miss, it's in your bedroom."
"Okay, go down."
After sending Zhang Ma away, Lin Xia turned around and looked at Hui Jianshan, and personally poured him a cup of tea. "Brother Hui, how much do you know about this symposium?"
"Well, as far as I know, the Kuomintang is short of military funds."
It turned out to be a fund-raising donation. It was no big deal. As long as the money was spent on fighting the Japanese, it would be fine no matter how much she gave.
The key is that once the money is out, it would be bad if it was embezzled by others.
"Brother Hui, wait for me, I'll make a call."
He didn't avoid Huijianshan, but asked the factory to prepare a batch of cotton and cloth as backup.
Hui Jianshan immediately understood Lin Xia's idea, "You're not afraid that Mayor Gao will force us to pay."
Lin Xia spread her hands and said, "All my money is tied up in the goods. I don't have any money. If it doesn't work out, wait until I sell the goods."
"It's easy for you to say, but I have no choice. Forget it, it's better to lose money than to suffer disaster."
Huijianshan’s business is basically gray, and those things cannot be donated as military supplies, so they have to pay the money honestly.
The two then talked about the current situation, and it was already evening.
Lin Xia walked into the banquet and was a little surprised to see Ming Bingchun sitting in the back row.
The Ming family's clothing factory in Haicheng was previously squeezed out by her and the Chen family and was driven into bankruptcy. They left in disgrace a month ago, but now they are back again.
Ming Bingchun also saw Lin Xia, and looked at her with a malicious gleam in his eyes.
Lin Xia felt that this person was going to cause trouble, so she told the secretary following behind her to find out whose connections Ming Bingchun was following.
"He's just a clown. After the show, I'll find someone to kill him..." Hui Jianshan made a gesture of wiping his neck.
"It hasn't come to this. I pushed him out of Haicheng before, so he should hate me. After all, I am Zhaozhao's father."
Ming's parents gave the money generously in the first place. For their sake, as long as the other party did not retaliate maliciously, there was no need to kill them.
Lin Xia ignored this person and sat down waiting for the symposium to begin. Not long after, Mayor Gao appeared.
It was his first official appearance, and he offended the merchants in Haicheng right from the start. He felt really bitter.
However, no matter how hard it was, he still begged for alms from everyone with a smile on his face.
Merchants could not go against the government, so no matter how reluctant they were, they had to offer tributes. Whether it was materials or money, Gao Yan accepted it all.
After collecting the things, he turned around and did ideological work for everyone, the core message of which was that they should not be traitors.
He was speaking with great interest when a voice came from the door.
"Mayor Gao, nice to meet you. I'm late." Zhang Bufan ignored the obstruction of the staff and forced his way through.
Gao Yan was in a bad mood, but he didn't show it. He just smiled and said, "President Zhang came at an inopportune time. We were just about to adjourn the meeting."
Zhang Bufan refused to give any face, "Mayor Gao is incompetent. Why didn't he send me an invitation?"
Gao Yan's face suddenly fell, "It's a good thing that President Zhang can still listen to the end, so let's listen to what we have to say."
Gao Yan turned his head and ignored Zhang Bufan, nor did he talk about giving him an extra seat. He talked about the harm of traitors in front of everyone, and directly stated which things were acts of treason, pointing directly to the things that Zhang Bufan had done.
Zhang Bufan's face turned pale and blue. He would have never dared to offend Gao Yan before, but now he was working for Xiao Benzi and had someone supporting him behind the scenes. He was not afraid of Gao Yan, the mayor with no foundation.
He actually refuted Gao Yan's words on the spot and boasted about the benefits of the little notebook.
This is a blatant slap in the face. If Gao Yan admits his mistake, he will have no status in Haicheng in the future.
He just waved his hand and detained Zhang Bufan.
A farce ended today. It seemed that Mayor Gao won, but in fact, Xiaobenzi put pressure on the Guo Party that night, and the person was released the next day.
Zhang Bufan, who was released, was warned by the Japanese side, at least to give face to Gao Yan on the surface.
Zhang Bufan became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. When he heard that Gao Yan had a dinner date with Lin Xia today, and thought of Ming Bingchun's surrender, he planned to attack Lin Xia.
The reason why Lin Xia made an appointment to meet Gao Yan had something to do with Ming Bingchun.
Yesterday, when the secretary came back after checking the news, he learned that Ming Bingchun followed the path of Zhang Bufan's subordinates, and immediately took steps to deal with this person.
By the way, he could do Gao Yan a favor. Since he couldn't touch the big traitor Zhang Bufan, he could touch the small traitor Ming Bingchun. It would be just right to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.
Lin Xia left the teahouse and rode a rickshaw on the street.
"Stop the car." Lin Xia hurriedly called the driver, but it was too late. A group of people surrounded her.
Looking at Zhang Bufan behind him, a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
"President Zhang, what are you doing?"
Zhang Bufan teased with disdain, "Can't you see? I'm attracted to you. I heard from Ming Bingchun that you taste very good. I want to taste you tonight."
Lin Xia was not frightened by Zhang Bufan's dirty talk at all. He was just a little ant, jumping around in front of her, and he really didn't want to die quickly enough.
"President Zhang, it seems that you think I am easy to bully. I wonder if you think my Mu Cang is also easy to bully."
On the surface, she is a weak little woman. In such a chaotic time, it is reasonable for her to use a wooden gun for self-defense, and it is also reasonable for her to beat to death the hooligan who teased her.
"Hahahaha, Mucang, I have plenty, why would I be afraid of..." you.
Before he could finish the word "you", a black bullet hole appeared in the center of his forehead.
Zhang Bufan had not been arrogant for two days when he was beaten to death in the street. His subordinates were stunned and did not know how to react for a moment.
Lin Xia didn't care about their thoughts and fired a few bullets at those who were holding wooden warehouses, and the rest were all holding cold weapons.
Anyone who shows any resistance will be killed immediately.
One man knocked down a group of people. The crowd watching in the roadside shop were shocked and gave him a thumbs up.
Lin Xia got back on the rickshaw and let the trembling driver pull her away. No one else dared to say a word and just watched her leave arrogantly.
As soon as she left, the patrol troops finally arrived. Seeing Zhang Bufan dead on the ground, they were both excited and worried.
The rickshaw driver dutifully sent Lin Xia to the villa and then resigned to her. This man was her regular driver and he was really scared today.
Lin Xia understood, and decided to part ways amicably after receiving an extra month's salary.
This incident had a great impact, but Lin Xia was eventually saved by Gao Yan.
Who asked Zhang Bufan to tease her? It is justified to kill him.
