Ning Zhiheng's words made You Laoliu's heart skip a beat. He knew that this Captain Ning was warning him not to act on his own. Fortunately, he didn't have any ulterior motives or want to do anything else. So he quickly agreed and promised to deliver the supplies as soon as possible.
In fact, Ning Zhiheng's worries had come true. During this period, people had already noticed him as a minor leader of the Green Gang. At a time of extreme scarcity, You Laoliu suddenly emerged with ample supplies and substantial profits, which inevitably attracted the attention of others.
Some people within the Green Gang were starting to get envious, but You Laoliu's master was Yue Sheng, a big boss of the Green Gang. With this powerful backer, You Laoliu managed to suppress the matter. However, Yue Sheng had many disciples, and he wasn't the only one. There would be more troublesome things like this in the future, so it was better not to delay for too long and to take action sooner rather than later!
Ning Zhiheng first sent You Laoliu away, and then said to Ji Hongyi, "How much money have we made from selling goods during this period? We can't hide what happened in Pudong anymore, I need to use the money to bribe people right away."
Ji Hongyi was startled and quickly asked, "Is someone investigating the Pudong incident?"
Ning Zhiheng waved his hand and looked at Ji Hongyi with a smile: "What are you panicking about! It's just being prepared for a rainy day. We need to do some preparatory work. There's news that our special agent brigade will soon be withdrawn to Nanshi to stand by. The battle situation is difficult, and I also need to think about these brothers and find a way for them to survive."
Ji Hongyi gave an awkward smile. He had great confidence in Ning Zhiheng, knowing that the team leader was highly skilled and had his own strategies. All he had to do was follow orders.
"The payments are all stored in my room. The amount is huge, so I dare not be careless. Please come with me!" Ji Hongyi got up and led the way, taking Ning Zhiheng to his room. His room was empty, with only a bed, a table, and a large safe standing in the corner.
Ji Hongyi pointed to the safe and said to Ning Zhiheng, "This is a new safe that I bought a few days ago. I have the key and combination. There are also sentries outside, so it should be very safe."
Ning Zhiheng nodded. Ji Hongyi was also a seasoned veteran of the underworld, steady and reliable, which suited his tastes.
Ji Hongyi stepped forward, took out his key, inserted it, turned the combination, opened the safe door, and then turned to the side to let Ning Zhiheng check.
Ning Zhiheng stepped forward to inspect it and was shocked to see that the huge safe was stuffed full of banknotes, with almost no gaps.
"As you instructed, exchange it all for pounds and dollars. Here is a total of 48,000 pounds and 260,000 dollars!" Ji Hongyi's words were tinged with a slight emotional fluctuation.
Ning Zhiheng turned to look at Ji Hongyi, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "This is a huge sum of money. It must be hard for you to sleep with it in front of you every night. I bet you don't sleep soundly, haha!"
Ning Zhiheng's words made Ji Hongyi laugh. He nodded and replied, "Don't even mention me, anyone would have trouble sleeping if they had such a large sum of money in their bedroom. I haven't dared to open the safe myself these past few days. Now that I've finally handed it over to you, I can finally relax!"
Ning Zhiheng nodded inwardly. Ji Hongyi was able to maintain his composure and not be tempted by such a huge fortune. He had passed Ning Zhiheng's test and could be entrusted with important responsibilities in the future. Many things could be handed over to him.
“There are some other items, please come and take a look,” Ji Hongyi said, pulling out two boxes from under his bed.
"What is this?" Ning Zhiheng asked.
Ji Hongyi opened the boxes. One box was filled with neatly arranged Swiss watches, and the other box was filled with medicine boxes.
Ji Hongyi explained, "This box contains high-end luxury watches, which are difficult to dispose of right now. It would be a huge loss to release them all at once, so I decided to keep them. We can sell them gradually later, or even give them away. This box also contains sulfamethoxazole."
"Sulfanilamide! Where did this come from?" Ning Zhiheng quickly stepped forward, squatted down, and examined it carefully. At this moment, nothing was more precious than this vial of sulfanilamide. Half a month ago, Ning Zhiheng almost killed someone for a vial of sulfanilamide. As you can imagine, this vial of sulfanilamide is a life!
Ji Hongyi explained with a smile, "We keep an eye on every unloading. Although You Laoliu is my sworn brother, even close brothers have to keep clear accounts. Naturally, I have to inspect the goods before handing them over to him. This box of sulfonamides was mixed in with a batch of goods and almost slipped through, so I detained it. I think hospitals have enough Western medicine now, so we don't need such good medicine. It's better for us to keep some for ourselves, otherwise it will be troublesome to look for it if our brothers get injured."
After hearing this, Ning Zhiheng sighed softly and said calmly, "You're very thoughtful. I regretted it when Yongyi was seriously injured and on the verge of death. I wish I had prepared more medicine for protection. Fortunately, good people are always blessed. You and Lao Liu found sulfonamide, otherwise it would have been dangerous. You did the right thing. We should also keep some medicine on hand in the future, especially sulfonamide, the more the better, just in case!"
Ning Zhiheng's haul this time was substantial, mainly because these supplies were obtained for free, with virtually no cost. The only cost was the risk involved; he essentially got rich without any investment.
Ning Zhiheng ordered the team members to move the safe and the two boxes to his room. Ji Hongyi handed over the key to the safe to Ning Zhiheng before they all left.
Ning Zhiheng also set up hidden sentries outside to keep an eye on his room at all times, in case anyone dared to make a move against him.
